Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 3499: Weighing the Pros and Cons
Zuo Feng was very moved by Amber and Nifeng's proposal. The so-called cooperation between the two sides was very fragile. After all, there was an irreconcilable hatred between them.
The current cooperation was just like the previous cooperation between Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao, who joined hands to fight against the ice-horned rhinoceros in the passage and rushed into the cave together. That kind of cooperation was based on mutual need and common interests.
Not to mention the disappearance of interests, even if the interests of mutual cooperation were weakened, it would directly lead to the breakdown of the cooperation between the two sides. At that time, these two guys would pose a huge threat to the safety of himself and others.
It was precisely because of this worry that Zuo Feng was somewhat moved. He only needed a glance, and Amber and Nifeng would immediately launch a full-scale attack.
However, it was only in a very short time that Zuo Feng's eyes slowly closed. When he opened his eyes again, his sight had moved away from Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao.
With just such a simple action, Amber and Nifeng had already understood Zuo Feng's decision. Although they felt a little sorry in their hearts, they believed that Zuo Feng did not choose to take action, and he must have his own considerations.
In fact, Zuo Feng made the decision to give up the attack after weighing the pros and cons.
On the one hand, Zuo Feng was not sure enough. Although Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao had consumed a lot of energy, they had not been injured in the battle with the Ice Horned Insect Puppet. In particular, they were not poisoned. I don’t know whether they were particularly careful or they knew the strong toxicity of the Ice Horned Insect. In short, they were not bitten in the previous battle.
If one of them was poisoned, Zuo Feng would immediately choose to attack because the chances of winning were too great.
On the other hand, it was the result of Zuo Feng’s weighing. If the three of them were injured when dealing with Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao, even if one of them was seriously injured, it would directly affect the survival of the three in this iceberg.
What’s more, to deal with these two guys, the three of them would have to pay a certain price more or less. On the contrary, leaving the two behind would be more useful for the current situation.
After all, the surrounding environment has not been figured out yet. Compared with the dangers that may be encountered in this cave, the danger of these two guys is even smaller. This is the so-called "choose the lesser of two evils".
Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao didn't realize that their lives and deaths were just a matter of Zuo Feng's thoughts. Their attention was now focused on the passage.
Those ice-horned rhinoceros insects were too strong, especially the terrifying fighting power they showed, which made the two of them still feel scared.
However, when they turned their heads nervously, they saw a large group of ice-horned rhinoceros insects being intercepted by an invisible barrier.
Looking at the ice-horned rhinoceros insects that were madly hitting the barrier, Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao both breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment, they suddenly reacted and turned their heads to look at Zuo Feng.
Because they had finally escaped from the passage, they ignored other dangers. At this time, they saw that the ice-horned rhinoceros insects could not enter the cave, and they realized that the cave was not safe either. Zuo Feng and others were also a threat to them.
However, when they turned their heads, they found that Zuo Feng and others did not even focus their eyes on them. Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief until this time.
However, while relaxing, the two of them secretly laughed at Zuo Feng and his men for being cowardly and not daring to take advantage of the current opportunity to eliminate them. If they were to switch positions, they would definitely go all out at this time and wipe out Zuo Feng and his men on the spot.
Being in this iceberg full of unknowns and dangers, Kui Xiang and his men certainly did not dare to relax completely. They each took the Fuling Pill and Futi Pill, and while adjusting their breath and refining the medicinal power, they came to where Zuo Feng and his men were.
After Kui Xiang and his men arrived, they ignored Zuo Feng and his men, but looked at the six warriors lying on the ground. Before, they let Zuo Feng and his men go to the cave first, in order to use the power of the six people to deal with Zuo Feng.
However, just now in the passage, the two of them saw clearly that the six warriors in front of them did not even touch the edge of Zuo Feng's clothes, and they became so unlucky now.
"What's the matter with the ice-horned rhinoceros outside?" Kui Xiang spoke first, and it was hard to tell whether he was asking Zuo Feng or the six people lying on the ground.
He turned his head to look at Kui Xiang first, and then Zuo Feng's eyes turned to the six people at his feet again. The meaning was very obvious, that is, to tell Kui Xiang that everything he wanted to know needed to be obtained from these six people.
As early as when those ice-horned rhinoceros insects appeared before, Zuo Feng had already pressed the six people, but they refused to say a word.
However, later Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao fought with the ice-horned rhinoceros insects in the passage, which attracted the attention of Zuo Feng and others.
Now that Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao have arrived, Zuo Feng is not going to continue to attack. If it comes to torturing people, he believes that Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao are no less than himself.
Sure enough, when Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao looked at the six warriors on the ground, the corners of their mouths unconsciously raised a dangerous arc. Zuo Feng and the other two silently stepped back a few steps, leaving space for Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao to use their means.
Just as Zuo Feng judged, the hearts of these two guys, Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao, were originally a little twisted. Especially after being frustrated repeatedly by Zuo Feng, the pent-up anger in their hearts began to turn into strong hostility.
Unlike the hostility of the beastmen, the beastmen are born with animal nature, but the two of them slowly brewed it in their hearts through various experiences.
Kui Xiang took out several emerald green soul needles, which were also an object that the Guilingmen used to control the corpse puppets.
This soul needle can not only detect the brain and soul of the warrior, but also use it to force its own mental power into the opponent's mind.
Kui Xiang was not so arrogant that he thought he could directly search the opponent's memory, but he could still torture the opponent's spirit and make him feel the pain deep in his soul.
Compared with Kui Xiang's method, Cheng Tianhao was much simpler and more brutal. He directly took out several daggers and inserted them into the most sensitive acupuncture points of the warriors.
Then he tied the handles of all these daggers together with a rope. As long as the rope was pulled, all the daggers inserted into the acupuncture points would swing together.
Kui Xiang was responsible for greeting the two warriors in the early stage of Qi cultivation, and Cheng Tianhao was responsible for the other four. For a while, the cave was filled with ghosts and wolves howling, roaring, cursing, crying, and begging for mercy.
Zuo Feng and the other two looked at them indifferently. The six people had originally made a move with the determination to kill him, so Zuo Feng would not have any mercy on them.
Amber and Ni Feng were also determined and had seen too many bloody scenes, so they didn't even blink when they saw the six warriors being tortured like this.
Less than three breaths had passed, and some of the people tortured by Cheng Tianhao fainted several times, and then woke up again in pain, and finally someone couldn't bear the torture and chose to tell everything he knew.
The two early-stage cultivators on the other side, although they looked more painful, they gritted their teeth and persisted until someone could no longer bear the torture and spoke, and then they chose to give up with despair.
In fact, interrogation is like this. The two sides are competing for willpower, especially when six people are tortured together. As long as one of them can't bear it, the will of the six people will be completely disintegrated.
It was not until this time that Zuo Feng and the other two came forward, because it was time to collect the "fruits" of victory.
The first person who couldn't bear the torture was naturally the first to speak. With him speaking first, the others naturally confessed everything they knew.
After listening to the stories of these six people, whether it was Zuo Feng and the other two, or Kui Xiang and the other two, after listening to the stories of these three people, they couldn't help showing a look of horror on their faces.
Even though Zuo Feng had guessed it before, when he really understood everything here, he still couldn't help being shocked by Ning Xiao's methods.
It turned out that in this huge mountain, there were countless caves where everyone was at this time. There were passages between the caves, and each cave had a varying number of passages.
The six warriors in front of them have been wandering around in this cave for a while, but they still can't find a way out. They haven't found any treasures or a way out. They only found those ice-horned rhinoceros insects.
Speaking of these ice-horned rhinoceros insects, the six people in front of them are only terrified and desperate, because when they came, there was a large team, but now there are only a few of them left.
Even when facing those icefield ghost wolves in the glacier, they were not as desperate and scared as they are now. The main reason is that not only can they not defeat these ice-horned rhinoceros insects, but they are not even qualified to escape in this iceberg.
Although they have received a lot of information, Zuo Feng is not satisfied. He asked the most critical question.
"What can we do to deal with these ice-horned rhinoceros insects outside?"
Originally, those who had not reserved their answers to the questions fell into silence as if they were strangled by the neck, as if this question touched their bottom line.
Under the torture of Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao again, one of them finally said: "We can only rely on the barriers of this cave, and only these barriers can resist those ice dragon rhinoceros worms."
For this answer, Zuo Feng gave the other party a cold smile, "The barriers of this cave can't last long, so hiding in the cave alone is not enough to save life."
"This..."
This person just wavered a little, and his companions around him immediately shouted.
"Don't say it!"
"Don't say it!"
The two strong men in the early stage of Qi cultivation shouted loudly with almost all their strength. The guy who knew everything before also pursed his lips tightly at this moment, looking determined not to say anything.
Kui Xiang and Cheng Tianhao were not polite at all, and immediately started to torture again, but with the sound of crying again, no one was willing to say another word.
Zuo Feng's eyes slowly looked at the passage on the left. The transparent barrier was seriously distorted at this time. Zuo Feng judged that it wouldn't be long before the ice-horned rhinoceros beetle broke in, and by then they would probably all die here.
