Chapter 2171: Chapter 2234: Rescue on the Frontlines
This person is one of the great witch doctors who ca to hunt down Li Yifei after receiving a death ssage. However, upon realizing Li Yifei’s swift movent, he did not hurry to pursue, but instead sat in place. Inside his black robe, the person didn’t move, seemingly in restoration mode. The grass and trees within a few ters around him began to change from green to yellow, with life steadily fading away, quickly spreading outward. Even after an hour, the area of decay expanded to a radius of a mile, with yellowed vegetation and so animals unable to escape, losing vitality quickly.
In another direction, two figures were also sprinting at high speed. However, they appeared to be really close to each other, with just grass skirts around their waists and bare upper bodies. These were two n of the purest black descent, with skin as dark as it could be.
Closer inspection revealed that the bodies of these two n were joined together, sharing one leg between them, with the central leg grown together, giving them a crippled appearance. Their upper bodies were also joined, resulting in just two arms between them, which were thick and long with muscular coils, and each shoulder supported a head.
During their fast sprinting, the three legs moved in perfect harmony, running exceptionally fast. To make a real comparison, they were probably just slightly slower than the man in the black robe.
As they sprinted, they conversed with each other, the left head singing while the right head scolded the singing one. As the argunt escalated, the left arm threw a punch at the right body, while the right fist retaliated furiously. Their strength was astonishingly large, each punch echoing through the mountains like thunder, causing many animals to flee in terror, so collapsing dead to the ground.
Occasionally passing by villages, the natives, upon hearing the sound, would imdiately lie flat on the ground, heads pressed against the dirt, muttering words, praying for unknown reasons.
Even while fighting, the n did not slow their pace, continuing at high speed.
However, feeling Li Yifei’s quick movent, they too stopped, unlike the man in the black robe who recovered. As these two sat down, they continued fighting, hamring each other’s bodies continually. Bewitching power radiated profusely. When they moved again, the place where they had paused was as if hit by a bomb, the hard granite rock wall shattered into nurous pieces, the ground sank one to two ters, forming a pit over ten ters in diater. It was unclear how fierce their fight was to wreck the place like this.
On a vast river, a woman holding a child sat on a small boat, a dugout canoe. The muddy river water rushed downstream, the flow rapid, and the canoe seed to be driven by so force, advancing even faster.
The woman humd an unknown tune, seemingly a lullaby. Her voice was slightly hoarse, yet considered quite pleasant. She wore only a sowhat old robe, seemingly made of hemp, which didn’t look comfortable, but the woman seed oblivious, occasionally lowering her head to look at the child in her arms.
Yet, if soone could clearly see the child, they would be horrified to discover that the woman’s embrace held not a living child, but rather a dried corpse. The skin had long since dried, the appearance appalling, held in her arms devoid of beauty, with nothing but boundless terror.
The woman herself emitted a strong stench of decay, which she couldn’t sll. Following the river’s flow downstream, the occasional splash was caused by the huge bodies of crocodiles. These crocodiles followed the canoe’s movent but dared not approach, observing from a distance.
If any crocodile couldn’t resist and tried to get close, the woman only needed to cast a slight glance, and the crocodile seed to be electrocuted, its body instantly stiffening, quickly sinking down without causing a splash...
Upon noticing Li Yifei moving swiftly, the woman also halted, a look of puzzlent in her eyes, though her singing did not stop. Initially drifting quickly downstream, the canoe slowed, stopped on the water’s surface, unmoving despite the rushing current, the waves rippling outwards. The woman’s hand reached into the water, uttering, "Evening has co, my darling should eat, don’t rush, mommy will cook for you."
Soon, a large fish over a ter long seed seized by an unseen net, lifted from the water. The fish hovered in the air as the woman smiled mysteriously, slicing her finger, creating a wound on the fish. Red blood flowed out, drawn into the mouth of the dried corpse-child in her arms, absorbed completely, not a drop escaping...
Li Yifei descended. He was now just two or three kiloters from the boundary of the tribe that abducted Wu Shuwei. According to investigation, this tribe did send a group to Kananga a few hours ago, returning an hour ago.
Then it must be them!
Li Yifei disembarked, leaving Zhang Xi and his brother-in-law here for support, accompanied by two rebel army generals. Using the cover of night, they quickly advanced toward the tribe. Having these two generals was advantageous; they understood the local language, preventing Li Yifei from encountering language issues. In this country, French is predominant, with English also spoken by many, but not as widespread as French, while the native language is even more common.
Swiftly, the trio vanished into the night. Minutes later, Zhang Xi, leaning by the plane, had a change in expression. His eternal deadpan face revealed a hint of a wicked smile, muttering, "You can’t bla this on ; even if you die, don’t co looking for ."
Pulling out his phone, Zhang Xi dialed a number. Upon connecting, he resud his usual tone, saying, "Chief Lu, they’ve already headed out. Okay, then I’ll prepare to return as well."
"No, why return? Can’t you fly a helicopter? If they haven’t been killed, then shoot them down. Don’t worry, the promised one million US Dollars will be transferred to your account. Follow
in doing this, and I will definitely not shortchange you, haha." Lu Youx’s arrogant laughter ca through the phone.
Zhang Xi’s facial muscles twitched, and he said, "Chief Lu, about Manager Wu..."
"Oh her, nothing to worry about. She won’t be in danger, but she might still get a scare. You do your job, and I’ll make an appearance. Such a thrilling event, how could it proceed without
stepping in? Hahaha." Lu Youx hung up the phone amidst his arrogant laughter. Zhang Xi pocketed his phone, his face reverting to the usual deadpan expression, while his brother-in-law, holding a gun, appeared ready to shoot at any mont.
Li Yifei and the two generals had already reached the edge of the tribe. A settlent of tens of thousands is quite large, but with the two generals, they quickly caught a local native, asking a few questions about the location of the tribe’s clan chief. Huhulu is the clan leader of this tribe, possessing supre authority and being the tribe’s most formidable figure. He is a great Witch Doctor, far more powerful than the two generals.
This wasn’t sothing Li Yifei was concerned about—he just wanted to know whether Wu Shuwei had been captured by them. Unfortunately, this person didn’t know, so they knocked him out and continued infiltrating the tribe. This ti, they caught a night patrol soldier, who was holding an AK47. After a few threats, they got the information Li Yifei wanted.
The place where Clan Leader Huhulu resides is located at the very center of the entire tribe, built like a palace, covering a vast area. Li Yifei led the two generals through it, taking down a few guards along the way to clear a retreat path.
Halfway there, Li Yifei turned to Bare-ass General and said, "You stay here for back up, and stay hidden!"
"Don’t worry!" Bare-ass General said, looking a bit excited.
Li Yifei imdiately glared at him and said, "Keep it down."
"Oh, okay, I’ll guard this place." Bare-ass General quickly lowered his voice.
As they neared the clan chief’s residence, Li Yifei left General Lion behind and infiltrated alone.
The clan chief’s mansion was brightly lit inside. Li Yifei hid in the dark, observing the situation within the mansion. It was just getting dark, and there were still many people inside who hadn’t gone to rest yet. Compared to the darkness of the whole tribe, this place was indeed the brightest.
Li Yifei secretly searched for a while, coming to the back of the mansion. Closing his eyes, he released his aura, greatly enhancing his sensory ability with the range gradually expanding—ten ters, twenty ters, fifty ters, up to a hundred ters...
Hmm? A few minutes later, Li Yifei opened his eyes. He hadn’t sensed Wu Shuwei’s presence, a familiar aura he wouldn’t mistake.
Not here? Just as Li Yifei was about to move, he saw several people approaching from the darkness, turning on a flashlight, fiddling with the rock garden for a while before opening a door and going down.
An underground room, Li Yifei’s senses extended imdiately, but sadly the ti was too short, and he couldn’t sense anything before the door closed!
"It seems possible it’s in there, but once the door closes, I can’t sense anything," Li Yifei thought to himself, though he wasn’t certain yet, contemplating whether to force his way inside.
A few minutes later, those who had gone in ca out, one of them swaggering towards Li Yifei’s direction, stepping into the darkness to relieve himself. Li Yifei imdiately acted, grabbing the person and dragging him into the darkness. Li Yifei recognized this guy as the one who fiddled with the rock wall to open the Stone Door.
Upon checking, no key was found, so Li Yifei had to take the person to find General Lion, and after so interrogation, they learned this person had just delivered food and that soone indeed was imprisoned in that underground prison.
