In a mountain cave in the southeastern battlefield area.
After the canyon battle ended, Qin Xiaozhi and the others destroyed their communication devices and then walked away from the canyon, finding a cave a hundred kilometers away.
For the past two days, they had been in the cave, not going anywhere.
At this moment, Jiang Wuming and Huangfu Weixia lay on the ground, still in a coma.
Among them, Jiang Wuming's internal bleeding had stopped, but Huangfu Weixia's wounds had started to bleed again.
Before the great battle in the canyon, Jiang Wuming had, in a very short time, treated Huangfu Weixia's injuries, temporarily controlling her condition. However, her injuries had now worsened again.
"Weixia's breathing is getting weaker and weaker, she's not going to make it," Oriental Xiaoyao said to Qin Xiaozhi, noticing Huangfu Weixia's worsening state from beside her.
"Should we try to wake up the boss?" Xing Tian asked anxiously upon hearing this, suggesting to Qin Xiaozhi.
Qin Xiaozhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Wuming.
Swish!
The next moment.
Before Qin Xiaozhi could make a decision, Jiang Wuming's eyes snapped open.
"Boss!"
Qin Xiaozhi, Oriental Xiaoyao, and Xing Tian were overjoyed.
There was no response. Jiang Wuming's peripheral vision saw Huangfu Weixia's wound bleeding, and he sensed her weak aura. He immediately got up and grabbed Huangfu Weixia's hand.
Huangfu Weixia's hand was ice cold.
To be precise, her entire body was cold.
She had been injured for two days, had lost a lot of blood, and hadn't eaten. An ordinary person would have died long ago.
Even a martial artist would have found it difficult to endure.
Her ability to hold on until now was due to the mysterious energy Jiang Wuming had left within her, which controlled her injuries and sustained her life functions.
Sensing that Huangfu Weixia's condition was extremely poor and at the brink of death, Jiang Wuming did not hesitate. He immediately entered the mysterious space to absorb mysterious energy, then fused it with his mystical power and channeled it into Huangfu Weixia to heal her.
Qin Xiaozhi, Oriental Xiaoyao, and Xing Tian did not dare to disturb them, their faces filled with excitement.
In their eyes, since Jiang Wuming had woken up, it meant his injuries were not a problem, and Huangfu Weixia would definitely survive.
This was indeed the case.
In the battle of the canyon, Jiang Wuming had consecutively used forbidden techniques of the Daoist sect's internal energy cultivation method, burning his vital energy, and constantly using various forbidden martial arts to kill enemies, exceeding the limits of his body's endurance.
As a result, after killing the last three four-star War God extraterrestrial enemies, his meridians had broken, his internal organs had shattered, he had bled profusely, and was on the verge of exploding.
In a moment of crisis, he had used his last shred of consciousness to enter the mysterious space, absorb mysterious energy, and heal himself, only waking up just now.
As the mysterious energy was transmitted to Huangfu Weixia through Jiang Wuming, her injuries were quickly brought under control, the bleeding stopped, and her previously weak aura stabilized and gradually strengthened.
By the next morning, Huangfu Weixia's pale face had regained its color, and her body was no longer as cold as before.
Only then did Jiang Wuming stop and see Qin Xiaozhi, Oriental Xiaoyao, and Xing Tian all looking at him.
Jiang Wuming first made arrangements for Oriental Xiaoyao: "Xiaoyao, go outside and get some snow, melt it with your vital energy, and use it to clean Weixia's wounds, then apply medicine and bandage them."
"Yes, Boss!" Oriental Xiaoyao immediately accepted the order and scurried out.
"Boss, are you alright now?" Xing Tian took the opportunity to ask. Although he knew Jiang Wuming was likely fine, he couldn't help but want to confirm.
"I'm fine," Jiang Wuming said, then looked at Qin Xiaozhi, "Brother Zhi, how many days was I in a coma?"
"Two days and three nights," Qin Xiaozhi replied to Jiang Wuming's question, then voluntarily stated his previous arrangements.
"After you were injured and fell unconscious, to prevent any accidents and as a precaution, I ordered the destruction of our communication devices and then found this cave."
"Mm," Jiang Wuming nodded slightly, showing no surprise on his face. Firstly, he had been in a coma for two days and three nights, and instead of being in a field hospital near the front-line command post, he was lying here, which indicated that the front-line command post did not know about the current situation. Secondly, he understood Qin Xiaozhi and had no objection to his decision, knowing the reasons behind it.
"Let's go, we'll go out first and let Xiaoyao attend to Weixia's wounds," Jiang Wuming said, seeing Oriental Xiaoyao return to the cave with snow in her clothes.
As he spoke, he got up and led Qin Xiaozhi and Xing Tian out of the cave.
"Boss, what do you think about how Gu Tianlong set us up and betrayed us?" Qin Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask after leaving the cave.
"Gu Tianlong alone couldn't have done this; he had an inside man. You also deduced this, which is why you destroyed the communication devices," Jiang Wuming said.
"Mm," Qin Xiaozhi nodded, then continued, "Then what should we do next?"
"Once Weixia's condition improves a bit, we'll return to the front-line command post." Jiang Wuming pondered for a few seconds before making a decision.
Qin Xiaozhi's pupils widened slightly upon hearing this, and then he remained silent. This answer was within his expectations. Furthermore, he had already deduced various scenarios that might occur after Jiang Wuming led his team back to the front-line command post.
Jiang Wuming said no more, his figure flashing as he moved towards a hillside ahead. The heavy snow in the sky had stopped, but the sun was still reluctant to show its face. Snow covered the surroundings, frozen and fused with the ground, as hard as stone.
Jiang Wuming sat cross-legged on the hillside, not thinking about being framed by Gu Tianlong. Instead, he moved his mind, simultaneously activating his vital energy and mystical power, and his aura suddenly surged!
Three-star War God tenth stage?!
Qin Xiaozhi and Xing Tian immediately sensed the change in Jiang Wuming's aura and were overjoyed to learn that Jiang Wuming had broken through again.
On the hillside, Jiang Wuming's expression was calm. If it weren't for Qin Xiaozhi and the others in the canyon battle, he would have fought in a different way. He would not have consecutively used the forbidden techniques of the Daoist sect's internal energy cultivation method, burned his vital energy, and continuously used forbidden killing moves, putting himself at risk of exploding. Instead, he would have defeated them one by one, killing all the enemies. In that case, even if he were injured, the injuries would have been very minor and there would have been no threat to his life.
However, to protect Qin Xiaozhi and the others, Jiang Wuming chose the most insane and riskiest fighting style, nearly perishing. But there were benefits. The frenzied battle stimulated his potential, allowing his mental will, physical body, and the application of his vital energy to surpass their limits, thereby smoothly breaking through to the Three-star War God tenth stage!
...
One day later.
Jiang Wuming and the others left the cave and trekked towards the direction of the front-line command post. Huangfu Weixia had woken up, and her injuries had improved significantly. However, Jiang Wuming did not let her travel on her own, and kept carrying her on his back. Huangfu Weixia had initially wanted to refuse this, but she remembered Jiang Wuming's warm embrace before the canyon battle, and silently agreed.
A few hours later.
Jiang Wuming arrived near the military camp of the Eastern Domain Army.
"It should be our army's people," Qin Xiaozhi concluded immediately after observing with military binoculars.
"Let's go," Jiang Wuming nodded, then carrying Huangfu Weixia, he led Xing Tian, Oriental Xiaoyao, and Qin Xiaozhi towards the military camp.
"Enemy attack, prepare for battle!" At the same time, in the military camp, two two-star War God officers sensed the aura of Jiang Wuming and the others. Because Jiang Wuming and his group were approaching rapidly and from a distance, the two two-star War Gods could not clearly see their appearances, mistaking them for an enemy attack.
A moment later, when Jiang Wuming and the others arrived in front of the military camp, hundreds of soldiers from the Eastern Domain Army, led by two two-star War Gods, had already formed a battle formation.
"It's General Wuming!" "And the other members of the War Dragon team!" "They didn't sacrifice!!" As Jiang Wuming and the others stopped, the military formation fell into a dead silence. All the soldiers, including the two two-star War Gods, looked at Jiang Wuming and his group with shock. Then, excited shouts echoed through the sky above the military camp. Just yesterday, the front-line command post had announced the news of the entire War Dragon team's demise, and the soldiers of the Eastern Domain Army were filled with sadness and grief. And now, the hero and banner of the Eastern Domain Army and even the Dragon Country's Military Department had returned unharmed with their team! How could this not excite them?!
...
A few minutes later.
"This is the front-line command post, please speak..." In the combat command room of the front-line command post, a dispatcher connected to one of the two-star War Gods from the Eastern Domain Army.
"Hello, I am Jiang Wuming, captain of the War Dragon team." In the military camp of the Eastern Domain Army, Jiang Wuming, holding the communication device of the nearby two-star War God, calmly announced his identity.
"What do you need? Wait... who did you say you were?!" The dispatcher, who was about to routinely ask the other party their request, suddenly realized something was wrong and widened his eyes in shock.
"War Dragon team, Jiang Wuming," Jiang Wuming confirmed again.
"General Jiang... Jiang... General Jiang Wuming, please wait a moment..." Hearing Jiang Wuming's confirmation again, the dispatcher was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Whoosh!
At the same time.
Almost everyone in the combat command room stood up. They widened their eyes and looked at the dispatcher with shocked expressions, as if asking: Is Jiang Wuming still alive?
Immediately, before the dispatcher could report to Long Qisheng and Li Rui, Li Rui took the lead, rushed to the dispatch desk, and grabbed the intercom: "Wu... Wuming?"
"Chief, it's me." Jiang Wuming recognized Li Rui's voice and confirmed his identity.
"It's great that you're alright!" Hearing Jiang Wuming's familiar voice, even the usually calm Li Rui couldn't suppress his excitement.
"General Jiang Wuming is alright!" "He's still alive!!" At the same time, the staff in the combat command room shouted excitedly.
Only one person was an exception. Long Qisheng. At this moment, his pupils suddenly dilated, as if he couldn't believe the news.
"Wuming, are you at the Eastern Domain Army's military camp now?" After the excitement, Li Rui regained his composure and, through the map, located Jiang Wuming's position.
"Yes, Chief."
"What exactly happened? Why haven't you contacted the front-line command post?" Li Rui asked the doubts in his heart.
In an instant.
The combat command room fell silent. This was the question in everyone's mind, and the reason why the front-line command post believed the War Dragon team had all perished.
"Chief, I'd like to report this matter to you in person after returning to the front-line command post," Jiang Wuming said.
"Alright," Li Rui responded immediately, realizing at the same time that the War Dragon team's disappearance was not simple!
