Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 413
Chapter 413 Causal Cycle
It was getting darker and darker. Outside, there was a furious roar. Several patrolling men hid in tents and drank small drinks. The temperature outside dropped to several dozen degrees Celsius.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Suddenly, banging sounds came from above the tent, like huge rocks falling down.
“Everyone, don’t panic. This is the snow hail. When the snow hail passes, it should be a strong wind. Quickly seal the entrance to the tent to prevent the yellow sand from pouring into it!”
Old Man Ding comforted everyone. It seemed that he had traveled through the desert for a long time and had a thorough understanding of some of the climate in the desert.
Ye Feng’s divine sense seeped out. He discovered that there was a strong wind outside. Snow hail the size of a fist descended from the sky. If there was no tent, these snow hail would really be enough to hit him. Even if he could not be injured, some minor injuries would still be inevitable.
Because the temperature was too low and the pressure changed, the raindrops were frozen together and turned into snow hail. Ordinary people could be directly killed by the hail, and even Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators had to raise their protective shields.
The snow hail lasted for an incense stick of time, and the banging gradually stopped. Next came the strong wind, and the sound of hula hula came from outside the tent. Fortunately, the ground stake was hit at the broken wall root. Otherwise, the tent would have been lifted away long ago.
“Ah Ah Ah Ah …”
At this moment, the cries of the camels came from outside the tent. Their cries were very shrill. They were probably injured by the snow hail.
The tents were limited. The camels could only live in the open air and withstand the storm. Even though the camels’ bodies were strong and they were attacked by such dense snow and hail, many of them had bloodstains on their bodies.
“Old man Ding, a few of our camels are injured. We are going to go berserk now. Once we rush out, it will definitely destroy our goods. At that time, yellow sand will pour in directly.”
A burly man opened a corner of the tent and saw what was happening outside.
“Old He, bring a few people with you and come out with me to appease the injured camel beast and deal with its injuries!”
The howling of the hurricane outside grew louder and louder. Only by shouting loudly from inside the tent could one hear each other speak.
“You guys, tie the chains and follow me out!”
The old man called Lao He was also around 50 years old, and his figure was rather rigid. Ye Feng took a simple glance and found that he was around the middle Heavenly Martial Stage.
A few strong men took out chains and tied one end to the stake in the middle of the tent, while the other tied the other to their waist to prevent them from being blown away by the hurricane.
“Everyone be careful!”
Old Man Ding was the first to open the tent. A hurricane blew in from outside. Some of the blankets were directly lifted away. The thick yellow sand mixed with the rain made Ye Feng unable to open his eyes.
Very quickly, Old Man Ding’s body disappeared into the night. Following closely behind him, Old He and the other three men left the tent and entered the pitch-black world.
The tent was quickly closed. The outside world could no longer be seen, but the screams of the camels and the whistling of the hurricane could be clearly heard.
Time passed by in minutes and seconds. Everyone was anxiously waiting. They had already left for an incense stick of time, but there was still no movement. Everyone had a bad feeling.
Suddenly!
The chains tied to the stakes trembled violently and someone was blown away by the hurricane.
“Not good! Everyone, grab the chains and drag them back!”
A burly man grabbed the chain and pulled it back forcefully. However, with his strength alone, he was unable to pull it at all. There was even a faint sign of pulling the pile upwards.
If the stakes were lost, the entire tent would be blown away, and they would be swept away by the hurricane, and their bodies would even be torn apart.
Several more men rushed forward and tightly grabbed the chains to prevent them from being pulled up.
But the hurricane outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the crashing sound coming from the chains was getting more and more intense. The ground stakes were rising inch by inch, and the situation was at a critical juncture.
All the men grabbed onto the chains, but they were still unable to stop the rising speed of the ground stakes. Only Ye Feng stood aside, his face sinking into contemplation, and his brows furrowed slightly.
His divine sense was unable to cover the outside world. Once his divine sense penetrated the depths, it would be torn apart by a hurricane. It was simply impossible to investigate what was happening outside.
If the pile was uprooted, Ye Feng would not be able to escape the fate of being swept away by the hurricane, and he might even be deeply trapped in the mud and sand.
“I’m going out!”
Without saying a word, Ye Feng found a chain and hung it on his body. He turned around and left the tent. Before the others could react, Ye Feng had already disappeared.
When his body left the tent, he could not see his fingers and his divine sense could not be transmitted out. He could only judge by his voice.
“Old Abbot Ding, where are you!”
Ye Feng shouted loudly. The surroundings were pitch black, unable to tell the direction.
“We’re here!”
A faint voice came from the front right, but it was still caught by Ye Feng.
“Wait, I’ll come and save you immediately!”
Although his divine sense could not be emitted, Ye Feng’s senses were still very strong. Following the source of the sound, he slowly loosened the chains and moved to the right.
Although it was only a dozen meters away, Ye Feng seemed to have experienced it for a month. His feet could not land on the ground, allowing the hurricane to blow his body. After approaching, Ye Feng saw a few people who were extremely miserable.
Old Man Ding was still feeling better, but he was slightly injured. There were also two people whose hands and feet were missing. They were probably torn apart by the hurricane, and they were already dead.
As for Old He, there were also many wounds on his body. He was hit by the snow hail, and a man also suffered some minor injuries.
‘”Little brother, why did you come out? We are all injured now and can’t leave this place. Hurry up and go back. Call the others. Leave us alone. It’s really no good. Unlocking the chains is better than everyone dying here!”
Just now, no one could tell who it was from the voice. Only after Ye Feng approached did he see clearly that Old Man Ding would rather sacrifice them than implicate everyone.
If the hurricane did not stop, they would sooner or later be torn apart, and the chains attached to the stakes would not last long unless the chains were untied.
“Don’t talk yet. These are a few pills. Swallow them and stop your injuries!”
Ye Feng took out a few pills and threw them into their mouths. Their bodies were covered in wounds. If they did not stop bleeding, they would soon lose blood and die.
Taking out the Gale Sword, Ye Feng cut off two chains, and the two torn corpses of the men were blown away. This way, the pressure on the tent would be much less.
Putting away the Gale Sword, Ye Feng tied up the chains on his body and wrapped them together.
“Little brother, what are you doing? If that’s the case, none of us will be able to return!”
Old Man Ding’s voice was intermittent and scattered by the hurricane. Although what Ye Feng said was vague, Ye Feng understood the general meaning.
“Don’t worry, I will bring you all back!”
Ye Feng was very grateful to Old Man Ding. If they hadn’t taken him in, he would have been swept away by the hurricane now, not them. Ye Feng understood the principle of repaying kindness by knowing how to repay kindness.
After binding the three of them, Ye Feng suddenly inserted his feet into the sand and walked forward step by step, using his tyrannical fleshly body to resist the force of the gale.
Inside the tent, the ground stakes had already risen by about half, and the tent was about to collapse as it shook violently.
“Big brother, what should we do? If we don’t unlock the chains, all of us will die here!”
Inside the tent, someone shouted loudly. If they didn’t release the chains, the tent would be thrown away, and everyone would die here.
“Wait, they will definitely come back!”
The leading man refused to give up. He held the chains in his hands and stuck his feet firmly into the ground.
The others didn’t know what to say, so they could only wait a bit longer, hoping that they could return safely.
Every step Ye Feng took consumed 10% of his True Essence. Finally, he experienced what it meant to be the power of nature. The power of nature surpassed everything else. Even if humans were strong, they could not be strong enough to destroy the power of nature.
As they got closer and closer to the tent, Ye Feng’s True Essence was being consumed in large quantities. The Nine Prisons Demon Cauldron decomposed a large amount of True Essence and continuously transported it into Ye Feng’s body.
“Big brother, I can’t do this anymore. The ground pile will be uprooted soon!”
Two-thirds of the piles were already exposed, and they couldn’t last for a cup of tea. If they didn’t give up, everyone would die here.
“Hualala!”
At this moment, a crashing sound came from the other end of the chain. Someone was about to arrive outside the tent.
“It’s them who are back. Let’s quickly pull them back!”
Everyone could sense that someone was moving towards them not far from the chain.
“Fourth Brother, go and control the pile. We absolutely cannot let it get up. Let’s drag them in!”
The leading man instructed. One of them went to control the pile. He brought a few people with him, carrying chains on their backs, and moved inch by inch inside the tent.
Ten breaths had passed. The tent that Ye Feng could touch had a feeling of collapse all over his body. However, at this moment, he absolutely could not give up. If he gave up, all his efforts would be in vain.
After a cup of tea, the tent was opened again. The first person to enter was Ye Feng, followed by Old Man Ding, Old He, and a burly man.
Old Man Ding’s injuries were relatively light and he was fine. After the burly man entered, he was almost unconscious. Old He was also helped in to rest. As for Ye Feng, he hurriedly sat down cross-legged and recovered his true essence.
Without the hurricane, the speed of the pile’s ascent stopped. He took out his giant hammer and smashed the pile into the ground. The speed of the shaking of the tent also stopped.
“Little brother, I haven’t asked for your name yet!”
Old Man Ding gasped for breath and walked towards Ye Feng, speaking with a respectful tone.
“Junior Ye Feng, Senior, you’re welcome!”
Ye Feng opened his eyes. His True Essence had recovered a little.
“Young Master Ye, it’s fortunate that you took action today. Otherwise, all of us will be torn apart by the hurricane. Don’t thank me for your kindness. Please accept my kindness!”
After saying that, Old Man Ding actually wanted to kneel down. This time, Ye Feng had saved dozens of lives!
“Old Zhang, why are you doing this? If it weren’t for you helping me, I would have already been blown away by the hurricane. The so-called karma cycle, I guess this is karma!”
Ye Feng also sighed. If Old Zhang Ding hadn’t allowed him to enter the tent, he would have been swept away by the hurricane. How could Ye Feng have saved them afterwards? This was the cycle of karma, planting good causes and obtaining good results!
