Gurgling water, shaded by green trees, an earth dragon drinking water by the clear river, its body covered with packages of all sizes.

Next to Earth Dragon, a dozen tough warriors were feasting on their food, enjoying the food and talking about topics not suitable for children.Behind Dilong, there were also a dozen skinny people, their hands and feet were heavily shackled, squatting on the ground, looking down and eating nutritious food.

In a sedan chair on Dilong's body, there was an old man with a cold expression, wearing a black and gray robe, with five exquisite white medicine bottles embroidered on the chest of the robe. The old man was thin and wearing a hair crown, looking down at the shackled people, as if he were selecting pigs to be slaughtered.

The old man's eyes wandered uncertainly, and sometimes he would fall on those warriors who were eating and drinking, revealing an intriguing and sinister look. Every warrior he looked at would have a huge change in their expressions, and they would remain silent, as if they were very afraid of him.

"Have you finished eating? Let's continue on the road after eating." Mo Yanyu carried Shi Yan and walked through the bushes with a cold face.

Many warriors smiled dryly and put away the unfinished delicacies in their hands, saying repeatedly: "Eat, eat."

Mo Yanyu had a stern face and was full of impatience. When she came to the old man's side, she forced a smile and said: "Master Karu, have you finished eating?"

The old man nodded coldly and hummed: "Miss Mo, we are still three months away from the Merchant Alliance, but there are only sixteen medicine slaves you have found left. I'm afraid I won't be able to support the Merchant Alliance..."

"Don't worry, Master, we will continue to replenish the medicine slaves for you on the way." Mo Yanyu looked serious, threw Shi Yan to the ground, and said with a smile: "Look, isn't there another medicine slave?"

"Yeah." Karu nodded lukewarmly, his eyes wandering over Shi Yan's body like a poisonous snake, and frowned: "This kid is so thin, I'm afraid he won't be able to support him for a few days, right?"

"He is indeed thin, but he has essence in his body..." Mo Yanyu explained.

"Warrior?" Kalu's eyes brightened slightly, and he was obviously a little interested.

"That's about the same." Kalu smiled sinisterly and began to look at Shi Yan more carefully. After a while, he nodded slowly: "Very good, Miss Mo, let me feed him. I want his body to get stronger first. A seriously injured warrior cannot withstand my torment. It would be a waste if I killed him early because he was too weak."

"Don't worry, Master." Mo Yanyu's dark eyebrows condensed with evil spirit, and she scolded: "Johnson, what are you still doing? Why don't you put shackles on this guy's hands and feet quickly!"

"Here we come!" A bald man nearly two meters tall with a sinewy face responded, quickly took out a brand new pair of shackles from Dilong's body, and roughly clamped the shackles on Shi Yan's hands and feet, not caring whether Shi Yan would be in pain.

The big man was wearing heavy armor, and the muscles protruding from the armor were bulging and full of astonishing explosive power. His dark black heavy armor seemed as light as nothing on his body, and it did not affect his speed at all.

"Johnson, take good care of him, don't let him be pulled from the team." Mo Yanyu glanced at Shi Yan with hatred, and then walked straight to the front of the team, as if she didn't want to stay beside Shi Yan for one more second.

"Don't worry, miss, I'm the best at this kind of thing." The bald man Johnson grinned and beat his chest in assurance.

Shi Yan felt sore all over and watched the development of the situation coldly without saying a word.

He knew that in this situation, anything he said was useless. In this world of the jungle, no one would reason with you. He knew that if he did not adapt to this world, he would soon become a skeleton that no one cares about, and no one would pity him.

The weak essence in his body flows slowly, and the soreness and numbness in his hands and feet has improved a lot after this period of rest. However, the extra shackles on his hands and feet are dragging him down, making his body that has not yet recovered feel like it is carrying an iron mountain on its back, making it difficult for him to move.

Suddenly, his back was severely whipped with a whip. The whip came extremely quickly and with great force, causing the skin and flesh on his back to split open and causing burning pain.When he turned around, he found the big man named Johnson holding a leather whip and looking at him with a sinister smile on his face.

"Damn medicine slave! Leave quickly! Do you want to be whipped again?" Johnson cracked his mouth and laughed.

Shi Yan did not reply, but looked at Johnson unusually calmly for a few seconds. Before Johnson raised his whip again, he silently followed the medicine slave in front of him with difficulty. He felt that every step weighed more than a thousand pounds and required a lot of energy from him.

After Shi Yan turned around, the wild laughter on Johnson's face gradually subsided, and instead showed a strange expression.

Along the way, there were many dishonest drug slaves who were "taken care of" by him at first, because of his cruel and vicious methods. Two drug slaves were beaten to death under his "care" before Karu tested the drugs. When all the drug slaves looked at him, there were two expressions in their eyes.

Only this person, when he looked at him just now, showed neither fear nor hatred, but was unusually calm, the kind of calm with a hint of coolness.

This man seemed to have no awareness of being a prisoner. I don't know if it was because he hadn't clearly understood the situation yet, or for some other reason.

That calm gaze gave Johnson the strange illusion that he had become someone else's prey, which made him very uncomfortable. However, because Shi Yan had already moved forward obediently, he could not find an excuse for the attack at the moment, so he could only give up, but he secretly swore in his heart that the boy who was "taking care of" from behind showed fear towards him.

He enjoyed the look of fear that others showed when they looked at him, which gave him the wonderful pleasure of being the master of other people's lives.

In the next few days, Shi Yan was taciturn, but extremely cooperative. He was asked to go and stop, without any resistance or emotion. He seemed to be indifferent to the things around him. Among the uncooperative medicine slaves, Shi Yan seemed very different.

Even Johnson, who wanted to teach Shi Yan a lesson, found it difficult to find an excuse to deal with him. Shi Yan was so cooperative that Johnson felt it was unreasonable, but he couldn't think of a reason why.

Shi Yan would only speak when he was taking a break to eat, and every time he would ask for food. Under Master Karu's instructions, his request was fulfilled every time.

Soon, those warriors discovered that Shi Yan was very good at eating. Even the low-quality food reserved for medicine slaves, he ate with gusto. The first food he ate was probably the sum of the seven medicine slaves. After that, his food intake would increase by one portion every day, and it would continue to increase.

This made many warriors find it incredible. They couldn't understand how Shi Yan's thin body could hold so much food. At first, these people were worried that Shi Yan would not be able to digest it, but they soon discovered that they were wrong.

Shi Yan's skinny body had quietly become stronger in a few days. Although the strength was not particularly obvious, all warriors with keen observation noticed this phenomenon.

Obviously, Shi Yan not only digested those low-quality foods, but also made those foods become nutrients for his body.

Shi Yan's physical changes made Master Karu very happy. This old man with gloomy eyes allowed Shi Yan to eat freely and boldly, and he must give him as much as he could eat without losing a cent.

Seeing Shi Yan getting stronger day by day, Johnson felt a little uneasy. Every time he saw Shi Yan's calm eyes with a hint of coolness, Johnson felt that this kid would be a disaster, but he did not dare to disobey Karu's instructions, so he could only provide Shi Yan with enough food without any deductions.

Fortunately, Johnson knew Master Kalu's methods, which made him somewhat reassured, and secretly hoped that Kalu would take action soon.

After eating food for twelve people in a row, Shi Yan stopped his movements, rolled up the last grain of rice at the corner of his mouth and swallowed it. Ignoring the surprised looks of the medicine slaves next to him, Shi Yan slowly closed his eyes.

The food for twelve people was quickly digested in the intestines and stomach. His body was like a bottomless pit, but also like the most sophisticated instrument, grinding and breaking down the food one by one, converting it into nutrients for blood tendons, bones, internal organs, and muscle cells, making his originally thin body become stronger quietly.

The wound on his chest healed very early. It only took a day and a half for such a long wound to heal without leaving any scars. It was so miraculous that he realized that he was indeed different from before.

Only he himself knew how much his body had changed in just a few days. He could clearly feel this change every moment!

The food he ate turned into nutrients for his body, making his body gradually stronger. The weak essence in his body had doubled in strength due to the continuous flow of it day and night in the past few days!

He clearly felt that there was a lot of strength in his body, and the shackles that were once as heavy as mountains were no longer a big burden on him.

With his mind concentrated, he clearly felt that the essence of essence in his body naturally started from the lower Dantian, followed the Du Meridian up, and went down along the Ren Meridian, passing through the three levels to communicate with Ren Du, making the heart and kidneys intersect, and the water and fire complement each other. After a small week, the essence of essence in his body became stronger again.

Shi Yan, who has some general knowledge of qigong, knows the difference between the large and small Zhou Tian. The small Zhou Tian only follows the two meridians of Ren and Du, and does not follow the twelve main meridians, nor the other six meridians of the other extraordinary meridians.

Of the twelve main meridians and the eight great miracle meridians, he only had the two meridians of Ren and Du, so he could only perform the small cycle, and the great cycle was difficult to circulate. From another memory of Shi Yan, he also knew that only warriors in the innate realm in this world could unblock the twelve great meridians and the eight great miracle meridians, and then perform the great cycle.

Shi Yan was not discouraged. He knew that as long as the essence in his body was strong enough, sooner or later all these blocked tendons could be opened.

"Another one died. In six days, two people have already died after trying the medicine."

"I saw it. Before the man died, his body had already started to rot. It was so miserable!"

"Instead of dying like this, it is better to commit suicide. There is no hope for living. We are destined to be like them."

"We can't commit suicide! If we die by suicide, our relatives won't even get a blue crystal coin! Hey... let's endure it. After half a year, we will be free if we don't die, and we can also get a sum of money. For the sake of our wives and children, we must continue to endure it!"

As soon as this medicine slave said these words, the other medicine slaves fell silent one by one. The idea of committing suicide seemed to be dispelled. They all suppressed the fear in their hearts and secretly told themselves that they must hold on.
