Chapter 1450 This Is the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom (2)
Zhou Shu smiled bitterly in his heart. It was true that this was an ordinary small mountain village, and it was also true that there were no powerful martial artists.
But the people here were very brave.
Although the village chief looked extremely weak to Zhou Shu, it was undeniable that people who hunted for a living in the mountains were very lethal to ordinary people.
If Zhou Shu was really an ordinary person, if he didn"t leave this place, he might very well die under the village chief"s hatchet.
But Zhou Shu wasn"t an ordinary person.
Even if a tiger had fallen from grace, it couldn"t be bullied by just any dog.
It wasn"t an exaggeration to say that even though Zhou Shu was so seriously injured, it was impossible for an ordinary person to kill him with a hatchet.
To kill him, at least… he had to be a ranked martial artist.
Thinking of this, he felt a little helpless.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, even if he was seriously injured, his body shouldn"t be affected.
With greater mastery of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, even if he stood still, ordinary people wouldn"t be able to injure him.
But he had ignited the Legendary Armament Canon. At the time, he had also been ignited by the mysterious flame contained in the Legendary Armament Canon.
His physical strength seemed to have been burned away by the mysterious flame.
Of course, even so, if he wanted to kill this village chief, there were ten thousand ways.
But Zhou Shu wasn"t a bloodthirsty person, and the village chief wasn"t a villain who had to die.
Just as he was about to speak, Uncle Peng, who was lying on the stretcher, suddenly groaned.
"Village Chief…" He let out an almost imperceptible murmur.
The village chief frowned slightly, but he still took a step forward and approached Uncle Peng. "Brother Peng…"
While speaking, the village chief stared at Zhou Shu warily without putting down the hatchet in his hand.
"Village Chief, he"s an old friend of mine. you can trust him." Uncle Peng"s voice was very soft. If the village chief hadn"t leaned closer to him, he probably wouldn"t have heard what he said.
Zhou Shu"s ears twitched, and a glint flashed across his eyes.
He naturally knew that he had never seen Uncle Peng, let alone know him.
Now, Uncle Peng actually told the village chief that Zhou Shu was an old friend of his…
Zhou Shu was puzzled. Why is Uncle Peng helping me like this?
Hearing Uncle Peng"s words, the village chief frowned. "Brother Peng, are you sure?"
"Village Chief, although I"m old, I"m not blind," Uncle Peng said, his voice getting weaker and weaker. He was seriously injured, and he couldn"t continue speaking.
The village chief gritted his teeth. "Alright, Brother Peng, I believe you. I"ll let him stay in Boundary Bridge Village for the time being.
"Don"t speak for now. I"ve already sent someone to find the doctor. You"ll definitely be fine!"
The village chief"s concern for Uncle Peng was sincere. The anxiety in his eyes couldn"t be faked.
Uncle Peng nodded slightly, no longer able to speak.
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes.
He could tell that although Uncle Peng"s wound was no longer bleeding, his injuries were very serious. Zhou Shu didn"t think that the doctor in this mountain village could treat him.
If he couldn"t be cured…
Zhou Shu was a little hesitant. Uncle Peng was his savior, and he had helped him lie for some reason.
Regardless of whether Zhou Shu was willing to admit it or not, he owed Uncle Peng a favor.
Zhou Shu had never owed anyone anything in his life, so he was naturally unwilling to owe Uncle Peng anything.
If this was the ancestral land, Zhou Shu wouldn"t hesitate at all. After all, the ancestral land was his territory. Even if there were some people with ulterior motives, they wouldn"t do anything outrageous.
But this was the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom. Once his ident.i.ty was exposed, it was very likely that he would be hunted down by the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom"s emperor.
In his current situation, not to mention the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom"s emperor, any Earth Immortal realm expert could kill him.
Once he saved Uncle Peng, it was very likely that he would reveal his ident.i.ty.
To save him or not? That is the question.
"Where"s the doctor? Why isn"t the doctor here yet!" the village chief shouted anxiously.
"Uncle Peng!" Cao Yue cried his heart out.
Uncle Peng"s breathing was already very weak. The rise and fall of his chest couldn"t even be seen if one didn"t look carefully.
Alas… Zhou Shu sighed in his heart. If this continued, Uncle Peng would really die.
Zhou Shu finally made a decision. "Village Chief, Little Brother Cao, carry Uncle Peng into the house. I have a way to save him."
"Really?" Cao Yue said in surprise.
"You?" The village chief looked doubtful.
"Village Chief, do you have a better idea?" Zhou Shu looked at the village chief. "Uncle Peng"s condition can"t be delayed. Moreover, even if the doctor comes, what do you think the chances of the doctor healing Uncle Peng are?
"Things have already come to this. Village Chief, are you still worried that I"ll harm Uncle Peng?
"If I really want to harm him, I can just sit back and do nothing. Why would I stand out and ask for trouble?
"To put it bluntly, with Uncle Peng"s current situation, we can only make a Hail Mary effort. What can the worst outcome be?
"I"m confident that I can save Uncle Peng. If I can"t save him, I"m willing to pay with my life!"
The village chief frowned. Zhou Shu had already said so much. What else could he say?
Actually, he also knew that with Uncle Peng"s injuries, anyone else would have died long ago.
Even if Brother Peng"s body was stronger than ordinary people, there was a high chance that he couldn"t be saved after suffering such serious injuries.
In that case, why not let the person in front of him give it a try?
What if…?
What if he could save Brother Peng?
