Watching Young Master Wei swallow the rabbit meat, Mago nodded slightly. He also picked up a piece of rabbit meat and began to eat. Perhaps because he was too hungry, Young Master Wei found that after swallowing a piece of rabbit meat, despite the psychological discomfort, it wasn't as hard to swallow as he had imagined. So, he silently continued to eat.The two silently ate the entire rabbit raw. After finishing, Mago cleaned up the place and then sat at the entrance of the cave, holding his knife, leaning against the cave wall, and closed his eyes to rest. Young Master Wei went to check on his mother and found that her condition had not improved, which made him anxious. He wanted to discuss it with Mago, but remembering the scene of Mago gripping his neck earlier, he felt scared and could only sit there silently. By now, night had completely fallen, but as a Tendons and Bones Realm martial artist, Mago's senses were still sharp. In the darkness, he noticed Young Master Wei's movements and said calmly, "Go to sleep. Early tomorrow, I will find medicine for Madam Wei. Worrying now is useless; it's better to rest well and keep your energy." Young Master Wei was silent for a moment before speaking, "Mago, tell me the truth, can my mother get better?" Mago did not immediately answer. After a while, he said, "I don't know either. I told you, I'm not a doctor and my understanding of medicine is very superficial. Madam's injuries are severe. I can only try to find some familiar herbs for her to take and see if it works. As for whether she can pull through, it depends on fate." Saying this, Mago paused before continuing, "Unfortunately, we can't go out now. Otherwise, if we could reach old doctor Chen, your mother's life would definitely be saved." Hearing this, Young Master Wei's eyes brightened, "Yes, we can take my mother to old doctor Chen!" He remembered that last time, even with his severe injuries, he was saved by the old doctor. If he could take his mother there, her injuries would definitely be healed! Mago shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to take Madam there, but you know the situation outside. There are people searching for us everywhere; we simply can't go out." Young Master Wei realized this and his eyes dimmed. Yes, if they could go out, they wouldn't be trapped in this cave. "Alright, sleep. Let's see what happens tomorrow," Mago said as he saw Young Master Wei stop talking and closed his eyes to rest. That night, Young Master Wei couldn't sleep well. He woke up frequently, checking on Madam Wei, giving her water now and then, barely resting. Mago saw all this but didn't say anything. Early the next morning, Mago told Young Master Wei that he was going to find herbs. He noticed that perhaps due to the effects of the Golden Healing Ointment, Madam Wei's condition hadn't worsened but she was still unconscious. But staying like this in the harsh mountain environment was not good. If she remained unconscious, she might never wake up again. Carrying his weapons, Mago carefully walked through the mountains, searching for familiar herbs. Finally, beside a mountain stream, he found a usable herb. Delighted, he was about to pick it when he suddenly felt a warning and quickly dodged to the side. The next moment, an arrow grazed his body and embedded itself deeply in the ground, leaving only the arrow's tail trembling slightly above the surface. Mago felt a chill in his heart. If he hadn't dodged, his body would have been pierced through by the arrow. He turned around abruptly, seeing a figure standing on the branch of a nearby large tree. It was a robust young man in leather armor, carrying a quiver and holding a large bow, with a short knife at his waist. Clearly, it was he who had shot the arrow. "Oh, not bad. You actually dodged my arrow?" The leather-armored youth seemed a bit surprised that his arrow missed. "Who are you, and why did you suddenly attack me?" Mago asked, drawing his knife and scanning his surroundings. "Don't play dumb. Two days ago, you took Madam Wei and Young Master Wei away, right? Tell me where they are, and I might spare your life," the leather-armored youth said. "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just a hunter who came into the mountains to hunt," Mago denied flatly. "A Tendons and Bones Realm hunter? Do you take me for a fool?" The leather-armored youth shook his head. "Looks like I have to capture you first to make you talk." Before his words fell, he had already pulled three arrows from his quiver and placed them on his bow. In the next instant, three arrows were shot at Mago almost simultaneously. "Three Stars Linked Pearls?!" The three arrows, forming a triangular formation, sealed off all escape routes around Mago, leaving him with no room to dodge. Startled, Mago instantly recognized the leather-armored youth's archery skills. This was a famous archery technique, signifying that the archer had truly mastered archery. Escape! Mago made a swift decision, swinging his knife to deflect one arrow, rolling to dodge the other two. While rolling, he secretly threw a dart aimed at the leather-armored youth's face. "Hmm?" The sudden counterattack caught the leather-armored youth off guard. He swung his bow to deflect the dart and looked ahead, only to see Mago already dozens of feet away. The moment he threw the dart, Mago had leaped backward, beginning to flee. He used the trees to cover himself, making it difficult for the leather-armored youth to target him. "Interesting. If you can still escape, where will my face be?" The leather-armored youth chuckled, put away his bow, and chased after Mago, his speed faster than Mago's. Hearing the sounds of pursuit behind him, Mago felt bitter. Seeing the leather-armored youth's Three Stars Linked Pearls technique, Mago knew he was no match for him. The technique required a Tendons and Bones Realm martial artist to shoot three arrows in rapid succession, a skill beyond Mago's level. Besides, there could be more enemies nearby. The only option was to escape. But now, even escaping seemed uncertain. The footsteps behind him grew closer, and Mago felt anxious. He thought the leather-armored youth, with such a large bow, would be slower in the forest. But the youth's movement technique was so advanced that he was catching up. Mago had no choice but to plunge into a denser thicket. Though this slowed him down, he hoped the youth would have more trouble. As expected, the leather-armored youth struggled with his bow getting caught in the vines and branches. Seeing Mago almost out of sight, the leather-armored youth became furious. "Do you think you can escape, you rat?" He took out a special black arrow, drew his bow, and aimed. Mago, unaware, felt a sudden danger. He instinctively dived forward. The black arrow whistled through the air, ripping through leaves and branches, creating a clear path and hitting a tree in front of Mago, leaving a deep hole. Mago was terrified. Could such powerful archery be from a Tendons and Bones Realm warrior? What kind of enemies had the Wei family provoked? Mago despaired. The leather-armored youth's arrow was either a casual shot or powered by a secret technique. Either way, it spelled bad news for Mago. But he kept running. He touched his bloodied back, thankful that he was only grazed. With his injury not hindering his movement, Mago leaped up and continued to flee. The leather-armored youth, feeling weak after the powerful arrow, saw Mago still alive and swore to kill him. "You rat, you won't escape!" The youth's shout echoed through the forest. Mago regretted not returning to his clan after the bazaar, cursing his misfortune. Suddenly, hearing water ahead, Mago's hope rekindled. If there was a river, he might survive. This hope gave him new strength. The leather-armored youth, realizing Mago's plan, chased him with renewed vigor, readying another arrow. Mago leaped, but the arrow pierced his shoulder, and he fell among the stones. "It's a waterfall gorge?" Mago, in pain, saw he was in a valley with a waterfall, not a river. The leather-armored youth, mocking, approached. "This time, you can't run." Mago, despairing, saw a figure approaching. "Mago?" A surprised voice called out.
