The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

In the following time, Chen Xiao asked the man a few more questions, to which the other party answered each in turn, and everyone came to understand the purpose of Luo Nanlin’s return to this place pretty well.

It turned out he had a Treasure Map; when he was once guarding the Mo Stone Mine in Shiliu Village, he had already ventured into the mountains to search for the treasure.

However, due to his unfamiliarity with the landscape, and the fact that his identity had not been exposed at the time, making it difficult to act with so many watchful eyes, he ultimately failed to find the treasure.

After fleeing back to Northern Myanmar, this matter had always been a knot in Luo Nanlin’s heart; so when his health had mostly recovered, he returned with people to search for the treasure.

Ling Feng, after listening, was speechless. "What kind of great treasure could it be, to make him take such enormous risks!"

"It’s probably not something like wealth; it might be some special Magical Treasure," Zhang He mused.

While speaking, he drew the dagger from his waist and without a shred of mercy, he plunged it into the throat of the captive!

"..."

Ling Feng was dumbfounded and utterly stunned.

Zhou Yi, Chen Xiao, and the others, however, were not surprised in the slightest; there was not even a hint of pity in their eyes.

Ling Feng was at a loss for words. "Was that really necessary? Couldn’t you just have knocked him out?"

"Eliminate evil thoroughly!"

Zhang He uttered these four words and turned his head to speak to Zhang Meng behind him, "Notify everyone to assemble; prepare for the ambush!"

"Yes!"

With a single word, Zhang Meng’s tall figure instantly vanished into the woods.

There were rainforests everywhere in the remote southwestern frontier; it was clear that he was a veteran of jungle combat.

But Ling Feng’s attention was not on this; he was just looking at Zhang He as if he had just met him.

Usually so cheerful and bantering at times, Ling Feng had not expected him to be so ruthless, killing without blinking an eye!

"Why are you looking at me with such lecherous eyes?"

Zhang He felt uncomfortable being stared at and, after wiping the fresh blood off the dagger on the ground, asked with a look of disgust.

"Nothing. You’re right," Ling Feng said with a laugh. "Keeping him alive would have always posed a risk."

A moment later, those who had dispersed regrouped and sat down on the hillside.

Since they already knew Luo Nanlin and his group’s location, there was no need to hurry now.

Zhang He was in charge of the operation; he gathered everyone for a brief meeting to explain the arrangements for what was next.

The opponent’s number far exceeded their own, so a plan for combat was necessary; after all, it was not just a brawl, but a matter of life and death.

When it was Ling Feng’s turn, he waved his hand and said, "I don’t care about the rest, I’m just focusing on that guy surnamed Tong."

Zhang He glared at him, "You sure are brave, aiming for the toughest one!"

"I can’t help it; I should be the highest in realm here. If I don’t take care of him, who will?" Ling Feng said with a smile.

As a result, his words were met with disdain from Zhang He and the others!

Even Lu Zihao glared at him, feeling the comment was too arrogant.

"How high your realm is doesn’t matter much; that guy surnamed Tong, I still recommend we deal with him together!" Zhou Yi said gravely.

"No need; handle Luo Nanlin and the others. If you’re quick enough, you can come back and help me out," Ling Feng said nonchalantly.

Zhang He’s eyes widened. "Now is not the time to show off. In a fight between experts, often a single move can be fatal; we won’t have time to back you up!"

"Don’t worry, I’m not so easily killed. Even though I almost fell at the hands of Luo Nanlin last time, didn’t I still turn the danger around?" Ling Feng said with a grin.

"Can you please not annoy me?"

Zhou Yi looked at him, asking somewhat irritably.

Ling Feng put away his smile, glanced at her and then at Zhang He and the others, "Don’t worry everyone, I’m not a fool, how could I go into battle unprepared? Can I get a promise from everyone that we will definitely take down that Elder Tong?"

The crowd fell silent, exchanging glances before Zhang He reluctantly nodded, "That’s fine, but remember, if you get hurt or something, we’ll all have a good laugh at you later!"

"Don’t worry, you won’t get the chance!" Ling Feng replied.

The time was now 3:30 PM, with four hours left until sunset.

Zhang He’s idea was to wait for nightfall to make a move, as darkness would provide a good cover for catching the enemy off guard.

However, Ling Feng objected to this, arguing that the essence of war is speed, and since they were here, they should launch an immediate attack to avoid any unforeseen complications.

After some discussion, everyone still felt Ling Feng was right. Four hours was enough time for a lot of things to change.

So it was decided to set off immediately. More than thirty people formed a fan shape in the woods and moved toward a spot a thousand meters ahead!

Ling Feng’s heart was still a bit excited at the prospect of soon capturing Luo Nanlin.

Noticing his excitement, Zhou Yi couldn’t help but remind him while moving forward, "Try to keep captives alive if possible, they could be useful to the agency."

"I know, and I just promised Sister Yun that if we catch someone, I’ll let her have a look," Ling Feng said.

Zhou Yi responded with an "Oh," and said no more.

Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the designated location and saw some people moving at the foot of the mountain ahead.

At the edge of the valley, under a steep mountain, there was an entrance to a cave, and those people were moving bags out from inside!

The bags seemed very heavy, obviously filled with sand and stones, indicating that someone was excavating inside the cave.

Ling Feng was bewildered by what he saw; the cave wasn’t newly dug, which could be seen from the moss at the entrance, indicating it had existed for some time.

These people hadn’t found anything inside, so they started digging further?

How did they know there was something inside?

And what could possibly be buried in a cave? It was all very strange!

The dozen or so people working at the cave entrance didn’t look important, clearly just lackeys and not any big shots.

It seemed Luo Nanlin and Elder Tong must be inside the cave!

After stopping, Zhang He raised his hand and made several hand signals, and the people from the Chu Family, Lu Family, and those brought by Wang Laogen immediately split into four squads, each moving stealthily toward their designated positions.

As the group dispersed, only Zhou Yi was left behind. As Ling Feng was waiting for the signal to begin the action, she suddenly reached out her hand.

Feeling the warmth of her hand, Ling Feng turned to look at her, "What’s wrong?"

"If Elder Tong really is too strong, remember to teleport immediately, and don’t engage in prolonged combat!" Zhou Yi said with a look full of concern in her eyes.

Seeing her like this for the first time, Ling Feng smiled, "I know, don’t worry so much!"

"....."

Zhou Yi looked at him, not saying anything more, but her lips moved as if she were swallowing back the words she wanted to say.

Seeing her like that warmed Ling Feng’s heart. Since there were still a few minutes left before the action began, he took her hand and pulled her into his arms, hugging her, "I understand your feelings, but you’re worrying in vain. Your husband is very strong!"

"Pah, smooth-talker!"

Zhou Yi, who had been worried, turned bright red upon hearing this and quickly struggled out of his embrace.
