The problem was, he'd run out on an empty stomach. At first, it hadn't been a big deal, but now it was noon, and he was about to starve. He didn't dare go back for a meal, afraid that Ning Hua would catch him and settle the score.
I have no desire to take another beating, Liu Ergou thought. Ning Hua's Flying Swallow Piercing Heart Kick is just too painful. If I don't absorb the force properly, one hit could easily kill me. I just barely managed to come back to life; I definitely don't want to die a second time.
Left with no choice, Liu Ergou could only wander the mountains, searching for wild vegetables or perhaps a pheasant or rabbit to add to his meal.
His persistence paid off.
