After Shen Feng killed the scumbag, he placed the hair into Xu Xing's backpack. Needless to say, this canvas backpack also belonged to Xu Xing. It was just that Shen Feng didn't know why it had fallen into the scumbag's hands. Shen Feng's worst fear was that Xu Xing had been killed and her hair had already been cut off.
When Shen Feng returned with the backpack, he found that Lu Xian was already waiting for him at the cave where he had hidden. Instead, Qi Lingshan had not appeared for a long time.
Shen Feng recounted everything he had seen and finally said with grief, "It's all my fault for not taking good care of Xu Xing. Her experience was not enough, and it's my mistake that she was ambushed. If I hadn't let her kill, it would have been very simple. When the scumbag escaped, I could have dealt with him directly with a gust of wind."
Lu Xian quickly comforted him, "City Lord, please don't be sad. Haven't you already avenged Xu Xing? If Xu Xing knew this in the afterlife, she would surely be deeply comforted."
Shen Feng took out the black hair from the backpack and sighed, "Xu Xing, Xu Xing, please bless me from the heavens, that I may find the real culprit in the dark to avenge you. Then, also bless me to find your body and bring your remains back to Yuzhou."
Shen Feng knew that he would most likely not be able to avoid making Wu Yelian sad, but the only thing he could do now was to find Xu Xing's body, so that at least Xu Xing's body could be brought back to Yuzhou for burial.
As a result, at this moment, Qi Lingshan returned, panting, dragging a man who was covered in dirt. The man's hands and feet had already been broken, and he looked very miserable.
"City Lord, I have brought good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?" Qi Lingshan asked directly.
When Shen Feng heard Xu Xing say this, he immediately said pessimistically, "I'll hear the bad news first."
In Shen Feng's mind, the so-called bad news was that Xu Xing was dead. After all, he had already found Xu Xing's belongings, so she definitely wouldn't be able to survive. What a cruel fate. A perfectly good person had lost her life like this.
As a result, Qi Lingshan said solemnly, "Xu Xing has been captured, and many other ability users have also been captured."
Upon receiving this result, Shen Feng was immediately surprised and quickly asked, "You said Xu Xing was captured? Then what is the good news?"
"The good news is that I caught an informant. It was this guy who caused Xu Xing to be captured. He betrayed Xu Xing." Qi Lingshan casually threw the guy with broken limbs to the ground, his face showing no pity, but rather disgust.
Upon hearing this news, Shen Feng was a little surprised for a moment. If that was the case, Xu Xing was not dead yet, so wasn't he crying too early?
Of course, Shen Feng had not shed tears yet. He had planned to cry only after he found Xu Xing's body. Now, Shen Feng realized that Xu Xing had only been captured, so there was no need to worry too early. The next step was to find a way to rescue Xu Xing from the clutches of the mutated plants.
After thinking this through, Shen Feng wanted to understand the whole story and then began to question. The person Qi Lingshan had captured was actually Zha Caifu. When Qi Lingshan was tracking the footprints, he was careful. After finding the group of people, he directly treated them as accomplices of Silas Kalaniv and started to act. After killing more than a dozen people, Zha Caifu stepped forward and said, "I'll take responsibility for my actions."
Thus, Qi Lingshan learned the whole story from Zha Caifu, and also knew that Xu Xing was captured because he betrayed Xu Xing.
Next, Shen Feng had to interrogate him about this matter. Qi Lingshan knew Xu Xing's situation, but Shen Feng did not. Therefore, Shen Feng had to listen to it again.
Zha Caifu was not evasive. Although his limbs were broken, he never begged for mercy. He gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Feng with hatred, then recounted what had happened before. It turned out that after falling into the water, he had been captured by the treants. The pool was the treants' territory, and it was not easy to escape from the treants. It was just that Xu Xing did not suspect him too much. If Shen Feng or Qi Lingshan had encountered such a situation, they would have been wary of the other party long ago.
Zha Caifu was brought to the area of the lake island, where there was an exceptionally thick tree. Many semi-transparent cages hung down from the tree, and in the cages were many animals. These animals were all immersed in digestive fluid, and their bodies were being decomposed bit by bit. Higher up, many ability users were tied up with vines.
Next, a crack appeared on the trunk, and a strangely shaped tree knot drilled out. The tree knot also had a vertical eye, and it could even speak. The condition it traded with Zha Caifu was to reveal Xu Xing's location, and in return, the treants would not pursue the other six escapees.
Zha Caifu continued, "I have something in my pocket. As long as I carry it, the mutated plants will know my location, and the treants will not attack us."
Lu Xian reached out and took it from Zha Caifu's body. It was a fruit that looked ordinary, like a common wild fruit.
However, Shen Feng had now learned one thing: Xu Xing was captured because she was betrayed. Thinking of this, Shen Feng's anger surged, and he said, "Before Xu Xing was captured, she was still thinking of saving you. You ungrateful wretches are so ungrateful, you are simply scoundrels!"
What Shen Feng hated most now were those who repaid kindness with enmity. Zha Caifu could have thrown away the fruit he had on him after returning to Xu Xing's side. As long as he had told the truth, Xu Xing would not have been besieged by the treants. As a result, Zha Caifu, in order to bring the miners back safely, had directly betrayed Xu Xing. Shen Feng could still imagine Xu Xing fighting for a group of people who were not worth it, and such a situation was truly heartbreaking.
When Zha Caifu was accused of being ungrateful, he couldn't help but retort, and a look of hatred appeared in his eyes. He clearly harbored hatred towards Shen Feng now. His limbs were also broken, otherwise, if his limbs were intact, he might have already made a move.
"It's all you hateful East Asians who, with sweet words, brought us to search for treasure. But in the end, none of you East Asians died, and the most miserable people were captured. My friends were all killed. Now, only a few dozen people are still alive. We came to Qiouming purely for profit, but you say we are ungrateful. Logically speaking, you are the ones who are ungrateful." The hatred in Zha Caifu's eyes kept flashing, and he never stopped accusing Shen Feng and the others.
When Shen Feng heard this, his face immediately showed a mocking expression, "We are ungrateful, you keep talking, I'd like to hear what twisted logic you have."
Zha Caifu was also not intimidated. He knew that he was not going to survive, so even if he was going to die, he had to say everything before his death.
"You East Asians came to Qiouming simply to obtain oil. The crisis in our surrounding forests had not yet been resolved, but you forced us to work quickly. The oil extracted was rushed to the southeast, and the food you paid was only a small amount. Not to mention that you made a lot of money from us, but in the end, you also caused more than five thousand of us to die underground. These were all good youths of Qiouming. As a result, they were all harmed by you. You still say this is not ungrateful?" Zha Caifu said directly.
"Hmph, you are really good at shifting blame. Exchanging food for oil was not done by Xu Xing. Whether you suffered a loss or not, what does it have to do with Xu Xing? You keep saying East Asians, and you think you are great, but in the end, you were still led out of the cave by Xu Xing. In this regard, she is your benefactor. You plotted against your benefactor in every way, and when the matter was exposed, you kept saying East Asians. Didn't the Ability Administration help you kill the mutated beasts? You are truly a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong." Shen Feng couldn't help but curse angrily.
No matter what grand excuses the other party made, they could not hide the fact that Xu Xing had been betrayed. Moreover, in the final analysis, the Ability Administration had killed countless mutated beasts of various sizes in Siberia for more than a year, but this was not remembered. Exchanging oil for food and suffering a small loss immediately made them feel wronged and resentful.
Zha Caifu continued, "If you Khitans hadn't appeared, then more than five thousand of us wouldn't have had any trouble. We should still be living safely in Qiouming, able to grow food, and have oil. We wouldn't have become like this now. Go back to your south!"
When Shen Feng heard these words, he was immediately furious. This guy always brought up nationality as if he had a point, but Shen Feng couldn't stand it anymore. "You are the ones who should go back. You are a bunch of greedy bears. How much of our territory did you take back then? You took away so many good things by taking advantage of our weakness. Not to mention anything else, the Greater Khingan Range is ours, Sakhalin Island is also ours, and now you occupy them. And you still have the nerve to say that if you have the strength, you can snatch things away. We should have driven you back to Europe long ago!"
After speaking, Shen Feng looked at Qi Lingshan and said, "Do it. There's no point in saying more. Give him a quick death."
Shen Feng had no good feelings for the Russians. The reason was simple: the Russians' insatiable greed. How did they get the largest territory in the world? Was it historically theirs? It was simply nonsense, they had snatched it. As a result, they actually had the nerve to tell him to go back, not knowing that this place was also once someone else's territory. To snatch territory and drive others away was the true face of the Russians.
Thinking of this, Shen Feng no longer wanted to say anything more. He only wanted to see the deserving guy die, and nothing else was within his consideration.
"City Lord, calm down. This guy is said to have entered the depths of the cave with Xiao Sheng and the others, and he knows a lot about the underground situation. It's a pity to kill him now." Qi Lingshan quickly said at this time, hoping that Shen Feng could calm down now and kill him after asking about the situation in the cave.
Unfortunately, Shen Feng had already made up his mind. Once his anger rose, it was difficult to dissipate. Normally, Shen Feng did not get angry often, and anger was not good for the liver. However, once Shen Feng's anger appeared, this emotion of anger would not easily disappear.
Therefore, Shen Feng said coldly, "Do it immediately, no need to say more, kill him!" 138 Reading Network
Qi Lingshan was helpless. Seeing Shen Feng so angry, he had no choice but to act. He did not fully understand Shen Feng's feelings, but he had heard that there was a group of people online called "angry youth" who often became angry or sad about many national affairs, hence the title "angry youth." Now, it seemed that Shen Feng was an angry youth.
"What the underground situation is like, I will investigate it myself. Isn't it just salamanders? I'll fight my way through. I don't believe that without an ungrateful fellow, I can't rescue Xu Xing." Shen Feng said coldly.
Lu Xian also said, "Qi Lingshan, hurry up and do it. Let's cool down this ungrateful fellow."
Actually, Qi Lingshan could directly use nitrogen gas to displace oxygen and carbon dioxide, which would directly suffocate Zha Caifu to death. However, now that Lu Xian had said so, Qi Lingshan had no choice but to use his ability. A stream of liquid nitrogen was poured down, and Zha Caifu quickly stopped thinking, eventually turning into an ice sculpture.
