The animosity between Fatty and Ouyang Xinuo was too deep to be fully recounted in three days and three nights. Seeing the unconscious face, he couldn't resist the urge to land a few punches.
"Forget it. If you hit him, Liu Lan Ying won't feel any better either. We absolutely must not act foolishly. This kind of matter should be resolved properly. With Liu Lan Ying's connection now, we can't be too reckless, or we'll be the ones who suffer in the end."
Ye Tian Cheng's mind was exceptionally clear. Knowing that Liu Lan Ying and Ouyang Xinuo were already linked, he couldn't think of anything else at this moment. No matter how much Ouyang Xinuo deserved to die, he had to save his life.
Ye Tian Cheng probed with his true qi. Although he didn't know what had happened to Ouyang Xinuo, he was now very weak and needed to leave immediately. In such a ghastly place, even a living person could die. This place was not suitable for the body, especially for someone who already had problems.
"Fatty, let's take Ouyang Xinuo with us. This place is not conducive to his injuries. I don't know where he's injured, but he's very weak now. He must have been severely injured. It's best if we take him with us."
Even with Ye Tian Cheng's personal request, Fatty didn't feel like doing it. The main reason was that it felt meaningless. Being so cordial with his enemy was practically going against himself.
"Brother Ye, I always listen to you, but this time, I really don't want to. I have a terrible headache. Please try not to involve me with this Ouyang Xinuo in any way. If you make me take him out of this forest, I might vomit the entire way because this person is so disgusting. He's definitely not a good person."
This was clearly stated. Fatty really didn't want to get too close to Ouyang Xinuo. Rescuing him from here felt like establishing a brotherhood. Just thinking about it made Fatty feel uncomfortable, and he didn't want to owe him this favor.
"Fatty, at this moment, we should be thinking about Liu Lan Ying, not personal grudges. Just consider Ouyang Xinuo's life as medicine to treat Liu Lan Ying. Don't overthink it, or you'll be the one suffering. There's no need to make things difficult for yourself. Think more openly."
After hearing Ye Tian Cheng's persuasion, Fatty felt that it made sense. This kind of matter couldn't be explained in just a few words. Moreover, he couldn't stand by and watch Liu Lan Ying get hurt. Regardless of anything else, for this reason alone, even if Fatty was unwilling a million times over, he had to get a little closer to Ouyang Xinuo.
"Alright, I'll carry this Ouyang Xinuo. This guy has become like a dead pig. If I don't carry him, ordinary people simply can't lift him."
"Okay, let's do that."
Ye Tian Cheng didn't want to say more. Regarding Ouyang Xinuo, both of them felt annoyed. They truly didn't want to help him and wished he would be trapped in this dark and sunless place, filled with corpses and death bugs, and the eerie caws of crows, for the rest of his life. Who would have thought such an accident would happen? Now that the person was in trouble, they had to take care of him.
Fatty exerted great effort, with Ye Tian Cheng's help, to get the person into the car. The entire process felt exhausting, as if he was about to run out of breath. It took immense strength, and finally, they felt a little relieved.
"Brother Ye, this guy doesn't look that fat, but I feel like he must weigh over 200 pounds. Why is he so heavy? He's almost exhausted me to death."
"Don't say that. I lifted him just now too. I don't think 200 pounds is accurate; it must be at least 300 pounds."
With that said, Fatty realized and burst into laughter with Ye Tian Cheng. It had been a long time since the two brothers had laughed so heartily. Today, they had to thank Ouyang Xinuo's weight for providing them with a moment of amusement.
"It's hilarious, really funny. A person looks so thin but is so heavy."
Fatty laughed until he was breathless, his stomach aching from laughter. Ye Tian Cheng, a little bewildered beside him, still followed suit and laughed. However, after a short while, Ye Tian Cheng suddenly stopped laughing because he discovered something.
"I know now. The reason his weight seems so heavy is that Ouyang Xinuo himself released the black qi. He deliberately wanted to self-harm to hurt Liu Lan Ying, and then threaten us to rescue him from this ghastly place."
At this, Fatty could no longer laugh. He didn't expect Ouyang Xinuo to be so insidious even at this point, still unwilling to give up, attempting to use self-harm to make others worry about him.
"What should we do then? I knew this Ouyang Xinuo was plotting something. As expected, he had no good intentions. Why don't we splash a basin of cold water on him and not give him a chance to feign weakness here?"
Fatty wanted to take action. After all, they always carried buckets in the car. Finding a river and pouring water on his head would probably wake him up.
"He can't be harmed now. He's too weak. If we do anything, he might die. We can't be foolish. If he dies, Liu Lan Ying will definitely not survive either."
Ye Tian Cheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Ouyang Xinuo was truly ruthless towards himself. He wondered how long it would take to recover from this injury. He was always thinking about how to escape. Ouyang Xinuo was also quite ruthless; such a person was undoubtedly a rare talent.
Despite knowing that Ouyang Xinuo had used such a despicable trick, they were still helpless. At this moment, saving Liu Lan Ying's life was the most important thing; everything else had to come second.
"Let's first take Ouyang Xinuo to a warm room. His body temperature is continuously dropping. This is not a good situation. It's estimated that it won't be long before he's done for, so we need to quickly take him to a warm room so his body temperature can slowly rise back."
"I think we should send him to the hospital, Brother Ye. We're not professional doctors, and it's very possible that if we handle it improperly, he'll kick the bucket."
Fatty felt that Ouyang Xinuo's condition was not right. When he first carried Ouyang Xinuo, he felt something was off. Now that Ye Tian Cheng mentioned it, he immediately understood. The main problem was that Ouyang Xinuo's body temperature was continuously dropping, just like a corpse without body heat. This indicated that his life was draining away bit by bit. If measures weren't taken, Ouyang Xinuo might die.
"What do we do?"
"This is quite easy to handle. How about this: let's both quickly take him to the hospital. I believe that in this situation, the hospital will definitely be able to save his life. If his life cannot be saved, then there's nothing we can do. At least we've done our best and have no psychological burden. If all else fails, I'll use my true qi to preserve his life. In any case, Ouyang Xinuo must live."
No one wanted their good friend to leave like this. Most importantly, Liu Lan Ying, this girl, had silently sacrificed so much for him. The thought of this made Ye Tian Cheng feel very uncomfortable. He just wanted to protect the people he wanted to protect and never let anything happen to Liu Lan Ying.
"Alright, Brother Ye. Although this bastard deserves to die, even to be cut into a thousand pieces, I also know that you don't want Liu Lan Ying to be in trouble. We will now do our best to ensure his life is safe."
After the two finished speaking, they put Ouyang Xinuo into the car, settled him in, and Fatty started the car to leave. However, after only a few minutes, they felt a strong vibration in the car.
Ye Tian Cheng suddenly realized that it was because Ouyang Xinuo was still leaking black qi from his body, attracting many monsters.
That creature resembling an earthworm but tens of times larger than an ordinary earthworm was writhing frantically around Ouyang Xinuo, likely wanting to kill him.
"Brother Ye, this is bad. Those terrifying things have caught up to us. We need to be careful and avoid any further accidents."
Fatty was driving, which was inconvenient, so Ye Tian Cheng had to use his true qi to resist. This was an extremely difficult process. Ye Tian Cheng's arms were sore, and his true qi was insufficient. These monsters were incredibly fierce, baring their teeth as if they wanted to kill Ouyang Xinuo first and then devour Ye Tian Cheng as well. This was truly terrifying.
Ye Tian Cheng could only resist as much as possible. Later, being too tired to continue, he asked Fatty for help.
"Fatty, how about we switch? I'll drive, and you deal with these monsters. These monsters are too troublesome. They were split in half by my true qi, but they can still live. It's a miracle of the world."
This was understandable. After all, these monsters loved to approach black qi. By Ouyang Xinuo's side, they could absorb a lot of nourishment. With this nourishment, they had no worries and would become increasingly powerful. Even a remaining limb could become an independent entity and fight Ye Tian Cheng and Fatty.
Fatty immediately agreed, stopped the car, and switched places with Ye Tian Cheng. Once Ye Tian Cheng started driving, he instantly felt the whole world brighten. It was much easier, and he no longer had to fear an endless struggle with those monsters. He could finally relax.
Now, Fatty was the one who was tired. Fatty hadn't rested at all. Initially, he had engaged in a fierce battle with those monsters upon entering. Later, after carrying Ouyang Xinuo out, he had to continue driving and then fight these monsters again. If Fatty didn't have a good physical foundation, coupled with the augmentation from his bracelet and shovel, he would have been overwhelmed.
"Brother Ye, my abilities have grown a lot. I've accumulated a lot of true qi, which has healing properties. I'll transfer it to you later."
Fatty was reluctant to use these things, which could increase his cultivation, but he always thought of giving them to others. This was Fatty, the greatest aspect of him as a brother.
Fatty didn't have many special skills before, but Ye Tian Cheng still valued him because, despite his glib tongue on the surface, he had a kind heart. Ye Tian Cheng had discovered this long ago, which was why he was willing to befriend Fatty.
"No need. Part of the true qi you've accumulated on the shovel is for your own advancement, and the other part should be directly transferred to me. He needs some protection now, but I'm completely depleted and can't use any true qi."
