Chapter 18: Ji Yuan's Weariness of the Heart

Climb over the rocks, go through the stream, and carefully cross between the rubble piles to find a mountain path where the mountain visitors usually tread and once found, they slightly sped up.

From time to time, branches with leaves brushed over the head, and there was a cool breeze blowing on the mountain road. Because there were often shades by the trees, the surroundings seemed darker.

The five of them had expended a lot of energy after a night's torture and fright, not to mention the fact that they were still carrying people on their back. However, the tension and fear that had not yet subsided made them unable to slow down.

Lu Chengfeng felt that Mister Ji on his back was very light, as it felt like he was carrying a woman but the psychological pressure Mister Ji put on him was heavier than that of a stone of equal size.

When they reached a stream surrounded by boulders on the outermost hill, they breathed a sigh of relief. From the hillside, they could vaguely see the outline of Daffodil Town.

"Mister Ji, how about we have a rest here? Junior sister Luo's and others' can't support such continuous journey."

Lu Chengfeng carefully asked the man on his back.

The people doing the legworks were already tired, not to mention Ji Yuan who was being carried on the back also not having it easy. His entire body was sore so he welcomed the break.

"Good, let's take a break here."

Hearing Ji Yuan's answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Mister Ji agreeing gave them some psychological comfort.

"Everyone, take a break and be careful when you let people down!"

"Yes!"

Several people gently put the injured down.

In fact, the few people who were injured could no longer bear it. Each time they jumped, the little tremble would make them feel more pain, but they just endured it.

Ji Yuan lay on the sloping boulder, resting with his eyes close, actually he was carefully observing the several injured people.

Ji Yuan suddenly discovered that his pathetic vision didn't change much even at daytime, he couldn't see more clearly during the day but he also couldn't see less clearly at night, it was strange, it seem that it wasn't like this before.

"Cough cough cough...wow"

Zhao Long trembled and braced himself against the rocks beneath the stream, spitting out a mouthful of congested blood.

"Zhao Long, are you okay? Let me get you some water!!!"

"I- I'm alright..."

Luo Ningshuang's breath was disordered, her fingers trembled slightly when touching her left shoulder, where there were two traces of the tiger claws that look like sword cut.

The claw marks on Yan Fei's body were deeper and more serious than Luo Ningshuang's. Hitting the pressure point and bandaging could barely stop the bleeding, but he didn't dare to move and his face was pale.

The most critically injured was Du Heng, a bounty hunter with a twisted right arm that was nearly crippled. Half of his clothes were drenched in sweat as he fought the pain.

Ji Yuan somewhat couldn't bear to look at the young bounty hunter, this kind of injury was not deadly, but to a martial artist, it would be better to kill him. After all, this fellow was not Yang Guo***, he might not even be able to wield a saber for the rest of his life.

***TLN: Yang Guo is a protagonist of the Return of the Condor Heroes, I guess it means that reviving from death/from a powerless position.

Ji Yuan could vaguely see him clutching his arm in silence, presumably his face must be pale like ash.
