Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 89 No, we can't lose our foundation.

Ever since Gouzi saw Peng Zeng, Peng Zeng's recovery speed has slowed down. After observing for a few days, Yun Ce found that his recovery speed is now only slightly better than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, his body entered a complete dormant state. He only woke up once every two or three days on average, and the little bit of flesh he had just regained was almost completely used up again.

As the silver thread retracted from Peng Zeng's body, another silver thread brought over a small object, and the slightly thicker silver thread poured some liquid into the medicine bottle.

Yun Ce glanced at the half-full bottle of liquid and said, "There's much less today."

Dog said, "The amount of this substance secreted depends on the severity of his injuries. Right now, his body is in a deep sleep, so it's not secreting much."

Yun Ce looked at the glass medicine bottle and said, "Is this stuff very useful for healing injuries?"

The dog said, "It should work. Find someone to test it on us."

"Use dog skin, I'll go catch some right now."

"Think it through. Even if you use people to test drugs, it may not be suitable. You need to find people with the same blood type, the same sex, and similar physical conditions as you. Even then, the drugs tested may not be suitable for you. If you use dog skin to test, the results could be very different."

"Forget it, I can't bring myself to use people to experiment on drugs."

"So, it seems that Wei Dun'er's entire family of twenty-nine died unjustly. Look at Peng Zeng lying on the bed, doesn't he look like a pill?"

Yun Ce threw the dozen or so bottles of medicine he had taken out into the Dragon Ball and said, "That's enough. These are experimental samples. Since there are people like Peng Zeng who have evolved and mutated, then it is clear that such people cannot be alone. There should be a group of them. Collecting gene samples from Peng Zeng is scientific and also for the future of the human species."

What you just said reminded me that I shouldn't have treated Peng Zeng like a human pill. Also, Gouzi, you shouldn't either. You're still young, and although you're already very smart, you still need me to guide you.

Now, here's a rule for you: your moral standards cannot be lower than mine.

Yun Ce sensed that the dog was jumping violently on the wristband, clearly very dissatisfied with the restraint. Moreover, Yun Ce could also feel that the restraint he had imposed was effective on the dog.

Indeed, not even being able to find people for experiments is undoubtedly painful for a dog with such a strong desire to explore.

Yun Ce knew that his moral values ​​were formed by the combined effects of law, knowledge, and family education. Now that Yun Linchuan was gone, his family education no longer had such a strong deterrent effect.

After arriving in the Great Han Dynasty, the Earth laws he was familiar with also drifted away from him as he traveled through interstellar space.

Now, all that's left is his knowledge, a solitary reliance. If things continue to go on like this, Yun Ce feels that the angry words he said to Yun Linchuan before he left—that he wanted to become the most vicious person in that world—might become a reality.

After the dogs were restrained, they all felt uncomfortable. Yun Ce, after setting requirements for himself, naturally suffered more than the dogs.

Yun Ce thought for a long time and realized that Gouzi, that little rascal, was not a good person either. The nonsense he had said earlier was too tempting. What did he mean by saying that the rules on Earth only apply to Earth? Why can't the rules on Earth apply to the Han Dynasty?
This group of Han people are still of the Yellow Emperor's race, and can be considered of the same race and origin as themselves, so there is really no need to treat them as enemies...

Despite his thoughts, Yun Ce still grabbed a dog skin, stabbed it in the thigh, and once the bleeding stopped, he took out half a bottle of medicine and poured it on the wound.

The dog, which had been howling, immediately started howling loudly, and its body, which had been tightly bound, began to struggle violently.

Yun Ce was certain that his previous cut had severed the thigh tendon of the dog skin, so it should be unable to control its injured leg. Currently, all four of its legs were struggling violently. Out of curiosity, Yun Ce peeled back the skin on the dog skin's leg and discovered that the tendons he had severed seemed to be intertwined and trying to rejoin.

A night passed, and the dog lay in the cage of the hunting park, no longer struggling or barking, but quietly sticking out its tongue to lick the wounds where the dog skin was missing.

Its tendons were twisted into a knot, which was unsightly but very sturdy.

Yun Ce released the dog and watched it run swiftly down the hillside, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Peng Zeng also woke up. When he saw Yun Ce again, his eyes were full of fear. Although he did not know what Yun Ce had done to him, the pain Yun Ce had inflicted on him was real. He felt that he might not be able to endure that pain, which was the first time he had ever experienced it.

He thought Yun Ce would kill him, but unexpectedly, he only came to see him once and then left.

After Yun Ce left, Peng Zeng desperately hoped that he could recover as soon as possible. He didn't want to talk about any more grudges or affections with this person and just wanted to stay far away from him.

The malice, stronger than that of the most ferocious beast, made him lose all will to fight him. He even thought that Yun Ce was not a human being, but a terrifying beast in human skin.

Eji thought Yun Ce's smile was very handsome today. The main thing was that his whole being was smiling, and the light in his big, dark eyes was mesmerizing, unlike before, when even when he was happy, his eyes were always cold.

Children are incredibly perceptive. Before, they dared not approach Yun Ce, but now they surrounded him like a flock of chattering birds. At the dinner table, Feng An and Liang Kun no longer addressed Yun Ce as "Master," reverting to their initial "Brother Liu."

Yun Ce naturally sensed this change as well. As a seasoned critic, he felt that many of Confucius's sayings were wrong, but the sayings "examine yourself three times a day, reflect on your own actions, be cautious in your conduct, cultivate yourself and bring peace to others" were absolutely correct.

Yun Ce was very easy to talk to today. Even when the people from the Hunting Grounds came to plead that the caravan hadn't been to the Royal Hunting Grounds for a long time, and that they had a lot of goods that needed to be sold and that they needed to exchange their goods for a lot of living supplies, and hoped that Yun Ce could take them on a trip out of Yun City, Yun Ce agreed.

Considering the unsafety of Chuyun City, Yun Ce did not bring E Ji, Feng An, or Liang Kun this time. He simply wanted to personally visit Chuyun City to assess whether the world there had already collapsed.

"Bring me back a carrier bird."

Before going to bed that night, Eji suddenly made a request.

"Why do you need to trust birds? Are you going to deliver messages to them?"

"for you."

"I'm not leaving, so what kind of letter did you write to me? Besides, I'm only going out for three days."

"Three days is already a long time. I think we might be separated for even longer in the future. I need a carrier bird. Choose the best carrier bird for me, preferably a small one, and I want to train it myself."

"I've thought it through. That stuff is expensive."

"I'll buy it no matter the price."

"Okay, let's buy the best pair, one for you and one for me."

Eji's heart melted when she heard this, but this brat liked to take off her clothes and burrow into his arms when she got excited. This time, Yun Ce didn't push her away, but just held her hand to keep her from moving around.

The next morning, Yun Ce got up early. The people of the Hunting Camp had already loaded the goods onto twenty-three sheep carts. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough sheep to pull the carts. Even if Yun Ce contributed his four sheep, there would only be a dozen or so carts that needed to be pulled.

With no other option, Yun Ce arranged the sheep carts into a long convoy, placing the four strongest sheep at the front to tackle the main hurdles, six sheep in the middle to take over, and two thin sheep at the back to provide additional assistance when climbing the hill.

The people of the Hunting Camp valued this shipment highly, and all the men in the camp who could help came. Even so, there were still fewer than eighty men of all ages.

Yun Ce rode his chestnut horse at the very front, fully equipped with a lance and bow and arrows. Looking back at the group of people who were ready to go, he felt a sense of responsibility on his shoulders for the first time in the Han Dynasty.

This shipment is extremely important to the Hunting Camp. If it is robbed, the three hundred people in the Hunting Camp will not be able to survive this cold winter month.

With an impatient neigh from the chestnut horse, the caravan slowly set off. Yun Ce knew that these people had even more confidence in the Thunder Smoke Beast than in him, the Grand Steward of the Hunting Grounds.

Indeed, this was the case. After leaving the Royal Hunting Grounds, Yun Ce felt as if many eyes were staring intently at the fully loaded convoy on both sides of the road.

He was waiting for the bandits to rush out so he could test whether his archery skills, which he had been practicing diligently recently, had improved. Unfortunately, the bandits were cowardly.

Qiu, the newly promoted steward of Yun Ce, approached Yun Ce's horse and said, "Steward, with the Thunder Smoke Beast around, they dare not come out."

Yun Ce asked curiously, "You knew there were bandits on both sides?"

Manager Qiu chuckled and said, "In previous years, we did this in the winter too. You know, we hunters... hehe."

The further they got from the hunting grounds, the more restless the bandits on both sides of the road became. Fortunately, the chestnut horse would occasionally roar, appearing very agitated, which made the bandits who wanted to rush out crawl back and wait for the next target they could afford to offend.

After entering the wasteland section, there were fewer bandits and more dog skins. In just one month, Yun Ce found that the number of dog skins had increased by almost four or five times compared to when he arrived.

Manager Qiu, his heart pounding with fear, looked at the groups of dog skins wandering across the wasteland and said to Yun Ce, "Steward, these dog skins are about to form a pack. They're busy choosing a dog king right now. Once one is chosen, a large group of dog skins will appear, and we're outnumbered..."

Yun Ce picked up the bamboo tube, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and looked at the two strong dog skins fighting in the distance. He laughed and said, "It's alright. We'll have two empty carts on the way back. We can hunt some dog skins to take back with us. Perfect, then you'll have enough hides for the winter."

Yun Ce spoke lightly, but Steward Qiu remained worried and said, "Steward, the reason there are so many dog ​​skins here is simply because too many people have died recently, which has attracted dog skins from afar as well."

The skin of a dog that has eaten human flesh is very different from the skin of a dog that hasn't.
