Ning Tao brandished the firewood knife again, and the last "possessed" special forces guard fell on his back to the ground, with a bump on his forehead. But when his assault rifle came off his hands and hit the ground with a jolt, a bullet went into Ning Tao's calf with a bang.
The burning pain spread over every nerve, and blood gushed from the wound, instantly wetting the bottom of his trouser. He shook and nearly fell to the ground.
He survived the most terrible battle of his life, but was injured in an accident.
This was the battlefield—no one was invincible, and no one could control everything. Even a cultivating doctor like him could be shot in the face point-blank by a stray bullet and die.
"Are you all right?" Jiang Hao asked nervously.
Before Ning Tao could answer, she tried to limp over to him. But as her legs and buttocks were hit by thumping shrapnel from the grenade, her desperate run pulled in her wou
Suppose Liang Keming had become a new demon, and Ning Tao decided that he couldn't control so many special forces guards. Just when he couldn't figure it out, the answer quickly popped up in front of him—this weird crystal ball. The cyan liquid in the crystal ball was the demon power, and those electronic components converted it into a certain kind of energy to control the brains of certain people. In this way, it formed a new magic tool. That was Ning Tao's judgment, but he didn't know how it worked. As soon as the warehouse's door was closed, the weird energy field released by the crystal ball seemed to lock on Ning Tao. For a split second, Ning Tao felt like there was a chisel hitting his brain, but that was just a feeling. As his spiritual power field kicked in, not only did the energy field of the crystal ball stop affecting his brain, but even the pain went away. As a natural go-between of good and evil, the owner of the Sky Clinic, an
In the medical room, there was a small wheeled sickbed for physical examination. Ning Tao asked Jiang Hao to lie on the bed. In fact, Jiang Hao had to lie on her stomach because her buttocks were injured by shrapnel from the grenade. Her pants were soaked in blood and her army camouflage was dyed dark red. Ning Tao gingerly cut open her pants with scissors, from bottom to top, all the way to her belt. Her long white legs were exposed to the air, dripping with blood, and her white skin was so delicate that it set off the blood. Ning Tao first gave Jiang Hao a little special spiritual power to adjust her body into a good state. Jiang Hao felt no pain. She was tired just now, but suddenly she was full of energy. She looked back at Ning Tao curiously, "It's weird. Why don't I feel pain?" Ning Tao had a brainwave, grabbed her calf and gently rubbed it, while explaining, "Of course you don't feel the pain anymore, because I'm using i
Reinforcements arrived, including the Shan City's police and soldiers from the army. They sealed off the area for dozens of kilometers. Several search teams went into the mountains, but no news came back. Ning Tao didn't expect them to find Liang Keming and Lin Qinghua. How could they not be ready to retreat when they planned this? Maybe Liang Keming and Lin Qinghua were already on a plane leaving the border of Hua Country, or on an off-road vehicle heading for the land border. Was it mutiny Liang Keming held Lin Qinghua, or Lin Qinghua actively involved in all this? Ning Tao was confused, and he couldn't guess the reason for Liang Keming's defection. The sun was setting and it was getting dark when Ning Tao left the arboretum after he finished the statement. As Ning Tao watched the sunset sinking into the western sky, he sighed with emotion, "Is the world really going to change? Yin Molan said that no one in the world could cr
Two hours and 27 minutes later, a special motorcycle carrying three daredevil people across the territory of Wu Mountain to Shennongjia. Rolling mountains and vast primeval forests stretched as far as the eye could see. After parting with Yin Molan, Ning Tao and Qing Zhui went into a mountain forest and started a journey to pick herbs. Yan Emperor was said to be Shennong who came here to pick herbs. Unable to climb the cliff, he put up 36 high ladders, and finally climbed the cliff to pick herbs. From then on, it was called Shennongjia. Shennongjia had countless steep peaks and deep valleys, known as the "roof of Hua Country". Rich in plants and animals, it was a natural "medicine bank". Shennongjia had many mysteries, and the most famous were of course savages and water monsters. There had been thousands of reports of savages, also known as Snowmen or Bigfoot, but so far no single living one had been captured to prove the truth of those rep
Ning Tao's attacker was a hairy giant with a face more than 50 percent similar to a human face, except that his face was covered with black hair. His eyes looked like bronze bells, the pupils and whites of which shared the same color, looking quite horrible. He was at least four meters tall and stood there like an iron tower. He had enormous feet and thick and long arms which were like those of an ape, and his hands as big as palm-leaf fans! He looked exactly like the legendary savage of Shennongjia. Ning Tao did not know how many people had entered Shennongjia to explore and look for evidence of the existence of savages, and he either did not expect him to meet one when he came here to collect herbs. Of course, he would not have been able to come here without the help of the Soil-seeking Inkstone to guide him to spiritual soil and the magic tool, a herb-collecting rope. How was it possible for an ordinary explorer to reach the fog-shrouded
Not far from the cliff, Ning Tao found water. It was a mountain stream flowing out of the crack in the rock and gathered into a pool of several square meters below the rock. The deepest water was about a meter deep, and the water was crystal clear. Qing Zhui let out a merry shout while running to the water. She scooped water to her mouth and took a sip. Then she turned to Ning Tao with a smile, exclaiming, "Brother Ning, the water is so sweet. Come and have a drink." Ning Tao went down to the pool and had a few drinks. The mountain water from the crack in the rock was really different from the tap water and bottled water in city. It tasted sweet and clear, leaving a natural taste in the mouth. Ning Tao could not help but have some feelings in his heart—now the city was more and more prosperous, people's income getting higher and higher, but how many people could drink mountain water? On the contrary, in ancient times such mountain water could be found eve
Several members of the archaeological team thanked Ning Tao. A middle-aged man in his forties said to Ning Tao, "Buddy, you saved our lives this time. I won't say thank you. Please tell us your name, and we will return to you when we get back." Then he added, "By the way, my name is Ji Wengui, and I'm the captain of the archaeological team." Ning Tao didn't want to tell these people his name just because he didn't want them to go looking for him. He didn't want them to reciprocate, but they respected him so much that it would have been rude not to tell them his name. The situation put him in a difficult position. "Sir, my name is Jian Mi, and I live in a village near here. You have saved me. I'd like to invite you to my house to drink the wine of various flowers which was made by my mother." The village boy looked at Ning Tao with expectant eyes. Ning Tao looked at Jian Mi's simple face with a look of expectation in his eyes and could not be
The Cloud-lying Village was located in a valley surrounded by mountains which were shrouded in fogs, making the village look as if situated between clouds. This was why the village was called the "Cloud-lying Village". There was no road in the village, only a dusty road leading to the outside. It was said that the nearest town was more than 60 kilometers away from here, and villagers needed to walk for two days to enter the town for market. There was no way to develop the economy here because of the lack of traffic. When they got to the village, Ning Tao felt as if he had gone back in time to a village decades ago. Jian Mi pulled Ning Tao over to his house. Ning Tao met his mother, who was not very old, but had white hair on her head due to years of hard work. Besides, her hands were rough, and she had calluses on her fingers and the part of the hand between the thumb and the index finger. When Jian Mi's mother heard that Ning Tao had saved
