Chapter 2276: Chapter 2273: Strange Voices at Midnight

"The cries are too miserable..." Ghost shook his head, quite helpless, the screams heard on the battlefield were no different.

This shows that these family disciples are indeed too pampered. They wail at the slightest injury.

"I told them to come over earlier, but they insisted on keeping up appearances. Now look what happened," Ling Shuiyao said with disdain.

Lightning and thunder continued, and terrifying shadows roamed in the dense fog, some were people, others were beasts. Each time a shadow floated by, it was nerve-wracking.

Even more chilling was the cry of the Snow Eagle in the sky. However, the bird seemed to have singled out Shen Lin’s group, attacking them every time it struck.

But Lin Tian knew that Snow Eagle wasn’t unintelligent; it probably still remembered how formidable he and Xiao Manxuan were, so it continuously avoided their group.

"Get away, all of you get away, I’ll kill you..." Situ Yufeng shouted loudly, nearly deranged.

The situation continued for some time, with the valley seeing a slight breeze, dispersing the fog a little. The phantoms finally disappeared, and the lightning in the sky also ceased mysteriously.

Chirp...

With a distant cry, the Snow Eagle took off again. Lin Tian immediately activated his super vision, staring in the direction the Snow Eagle flew. The Snow Eagle was flying along the cliff, deeper into Death Valley.

Could it be that the Snow Eagle’s nest is inside Death Valley? A question rose in Lin Tian’s heart.

A burst of noise suddenly interrupted his thoughts. Shen Lin’s team came over, with Situ Yufeng supported by Yuwen Xingjian, his right hand covering his face. Though the blood had mostly clotted, some still seeped out.

"Shen Lin, Lin Tian signaled just now, why didn’t you come over?" Yan Lingling stared at Shen Lin and sternly questioned.

Shen Lin’s gaze wandered, and everyone else looked embarrassed. Clearly, no one wanted to answer this question.

The Wang family’s relations with Lin Tian’s group were slightly better; Wang Lin said apologetically, "It was too sudden, and the situation was quite bizarre. Relocating would’ve been hard, so we organized a defense on the spot. Since they didn’t move, I couldn’t leave them."

"Defense? Snow Eagle’s strength is comparable to Bai’s, and it had the advantage of being in the dark and aerial. What was the result of your defense?" Yan Lingling questioned again.

She couldn’t understand it. Lin Tian and they didn’t have a life-and-death grudge, so why refuse help? Wasn’t life more important than face?

The little girl was still naive. In the hearts of these noble disciples, face was indeed more important than life.

"Miss Ling’er, saying more now is useless. Let’s check on Situ Yufeng’s injuries first." Yuwen Xingjian felt very ashamed and didn’t want to get more entangled.

"I’m not skilled in medicine; you’ll have to ask Brother Lin Tian for that." Yan Lingling was very straightforward.

Situ Yufeng furrowed his brows, but pulling on the wound made him take a cold breath. Yet, he didn’t want to lose face in front of the beauties and refrained from groaning.

"Situ Yufeng, I suggest you don’t resist. It’s more important to heal your injury. Show the wound to Brother Lin," Yuwen Xingjian reminded him.

Though reluctant, Situ Yufeng released his hand. The two wounds on his face were shocking, with flesh turned out, faintly revealing white bone.

"It’s not fatal." Although it looked serious, Lin Tian was calm. For Ancient Martial Artists, as long as the internal organs were unharmed, dying was not easy.

However, Situ Yufeng had no time to rejoice before Lin Tian added, "But, it might cause disfigurement."

"Disfigurement?" Situ Yufeng was shocked, tugging at the wound again, causing more blood to seep out: "I can’t be disfigured!"

Lin Tian shook his head, calmly saying, "Your wound is easy to treat, the Medicine King Mansion’s healing medicine can heal it. But since it’s already bone-deep and the wound is huge, restoring it to its original state is a bit challenging."

"You’re a healer, how can you say it’s challenging? Aren’t you very skilled? As long as you heal me and make a full recovery, I’m willing to pay handsomely. Do you want gold or jewelry? Antiques? Cash? You can choose anything you want from the Situ family’s treasury!" Situ Yufeng was a bit agitated, immediately trying to use money.

"Money?" Lin Tian sneered, disdainfully: "I really don’t lack money."

If Lin Tian was willing, all of Charlotte’s wealth was his. Her wealth accumulated over centuries exceeded the Li Family, and Bale Bank was just the tip of the iceberg.

Only, Lin Tian was too lazy to inquire. The black card she gave, he only used two or three times, and he had also earned quite a bit himself.

"You’re unwilling to treat? Are you taking personal revenge, holding a grudge against me? You’re unfit to be a healer." Situ Yufeng spat indiscreetly, scolding without caring that his wounds were seeping blood, making his expression look very fierce.

"Personal revenge? Grudge?" Lin Tian lifted his eyelids slightly, looking at him indifferently: "Are you worthy? In my eyes, you, including the Situ family, are nothing more than dust. Who holds a grudge with dust?"

"If someday I do take action against you or your Situ family, it’s just like brushing off a speck of dust on me, that’s all. Don’t consider yourself too important. You’re really not that significant."

Lin Tian spoke these few words in a very normal tone, but this very normalcy deeply pierced Situ Yufeng, even more painfully than the Snow Eagle’s attack earlier.

Because he could hear from Lin Tian’s tone that in Lin Tian’s eyes, he was as insignificant as dust.

"Ling’er, give him the healing medicine. Use or not, his choice." Lin Tian no longer looked at him and turned to Yan Lingling.

Yan Lingling nodded obediently, handing over the medicine, but it was to Yuwen Xingjian, clearly letting Yuwen Xingjian apply it to Situ Yufeng.

"Alas..." Yuwen Xingjian sighed, having nothing more to say, and accepted the healing medicine.

Xiao Manxuan quietly leaned towards Lin Tian, whispering, "Is it true that such a wound really can’t be restored? The courses I learned were all Western medicine." ℴ

"I’m good at healing but not at plastic surgery," Lin Tian answered affirmatively.

"That’s really a pity. If you knew how, you could open a plastic surgery clinic and make a lot of money," Xiao Manxuan said earnestly.

Lin Tian chuckled, realizing what the little girl thought was a pity turned out to be this.

Everyone’s nerves had been tensed for most of the night and, suddenly relaxing, they all felt exhausted. Even Ancient Martial Artists couldn’t bear such intense mental pressure.

The people on Lin Tian’s side were better off; aside from the shadows’ disruptions, they hadn’t been attacked by Snow Eagle. The Shen Lin group didn’t want to move at all, retreating back into their tents for breath control and recovery.

No one spoke, and the surroundings fell silent. So silent that even the sound of insects was absent, as if it were a complete dead zone where even insects couldn’t survive.

Lin Tian did not immediately enter a tent but rather reclined against a large stone, half-closed his eyes, replaying the direction the Snow Eagle left in his mind.

As the mist around the camp gradually thinned, only a faint smokey haze lingered, and the world was utterly silent. Suddenly, a sound reached Lin Tian’s ears.

Thud thud thud... thud thud thud...
