Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 122: Entering the Mountain River Mouth, Wooden House Camp
After saying goodbye to Thirteen, Tang Zheng and his companions did not waste even a minute and went out with the harvest of the past few days.
There was no way out. Tang Zheng didn’t want to wait any longer because of the imbalance in his fate palace.
According to Xiaotang and the others, his skin has become much whiter and more translucent after being in the mountains for a few days!
"No, no..." Tang Zheng walked quickly, determined not to continue on this weird path.
Tang Zheng's amazing memory and rich experience in mapping the wild allowed them to return to the edge of Wuqing Mountain without taking any detours.
Most of the ferocious beasts that might be encountered are avoided in advance.
Therefore, they only took almost half the time to enter the mountain to see the river entrance.
"That's great. We can go home soon." Xiaotang stood on tiptoe and said happily.
"Huh, I can finally take a hot bath." Tang Zixie was the first person to start school in Tangjiabao, and he was also the one who loved cleanliness the most. Although he didn't say anything, he really couldn't stand the life in the past few days.
"Of course, the most important thing is Master's Fate Palace..." Xiaotang looked at Tang Zheng happily, "We can restore balance again!"
The balance of Tang Zheng's first life palace is almost regarded by Tang Xiaotang and others as a pleasing aesthetic.
Although there are many benefits to being a star-favored person, destroying the wonderful balance of the first life palace can be quite frustrating for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"It's only been a few days, and you're already missing home?" Tang Zheng was also in a good mood and teased with a smile.
If it weren't for the homesickness they occasionally revealed, who would remember that they were actually still children who should be sitting in the classroom studying.
All I can say is, this world is crazy.
It's passionate enough, but also cruel enough!
The youth of Tang Xiaotang and his friends is destined to be bloody.
"Master, our gains in the past two days are incredible. In just a few days, I have gained nearly a hundred strands of two-star power... Even if it is in the new training ground built by Master, it will take at least ten days or half a month!"
"That's right. How can hitting wooden stakes be faster than killing monsters to level up?" Tang Zheng smiled and didn't care whether they understood or not, and didn't say much.
His own journey to Wuqing Mountain also increased his star power by nearly two hundred strands.
Currently, the two-star power in his life palace has reached more than five hundred strands.
If Ban Yilou could solve his fate palace balance problem immediately, he would even have the confidence to accumulate a thousand strands of two-star star power within ten days and successfully advance to the intermediate two-star level!
From the time he killed Lan Shaoze and advanced to the second star level to now, it has only been about ten days.
It took him twenty days to reach the middle level of two stars. Compared with the average person who needs at least half a year to a year to advance, it was simply horrifying!
Just as Tang was thinking about his own strength, Tang Xiaotang suddenly shouted, "That's... Thirteen's brother, Fourteen?"
Tang Zheng looked up.
Next to a row of small wooden houses at the entrance of the mountain river, there was indeed Fourteen, who was a size smaller than Thirteen.
He was talking loudly to a slanted-eyed man who was holding a grass root in his mouth.
Tang Zheng frowned and walked over quickly.
"This snake is dangerous. Brother, take your life, use it as bait, and kill it!" What Fourteen was holding in his hand was the Cloud-Swallowing Python that he used as bait, went deep into the snake's belly, and risked his life to hunt down on the night they met Thirteen.
"How your brother hunted it is none of my business. This thing has come to me and I will give you whatever price you ask for! One hundred black steamed buns!" The slanted-eyed man reached out and grabbed the python skin and meat from Fourteen's hand. There was an unconcealable greed in his eyes, and he shouted impatiently.
"Brother, I told you, at least five hundred, otherwise I won't sell it to you!" Fourteen shook his head and said firmly, then tried to take back the python skin and meat.
"Get out of here, you damn wolf cub. Put your things down quickly, take the steamed bread and get out of here. Now that Wu Qingshan's things are here with me, you have to sell them whether you want to or not! Stop wasting my time here!" The slanted-eyed man was not willing to let go. He grabbed the python skin and meat with one hand and pushed Fourteen with the other hand, causing him to stagger.
It seemed that Fourteen had sustained a minor injury on his shoulder when he came out of the mountain.
The wound, which had not healed to begin with, was immediately torn apart by the big man's push, and blood flowed down the arm.
However, he held on to the python skin and flesh tightly and refused to let go!
Even though the severe pain in his shoulder made him grimace, he still clenched his hands tightly, and stared fiercely at the big man who wanted to steal his python skin with a pair of wild eyes...
call……
A small demonic fire behind him burned firmly!
"Fuck, you dead wolf cub, how dare you look at me like that? You're a rebel, believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" The slanted-eyed man was a little frightened by Fourteen's stare, and the stars behind him also lit up.
On a droopy-eyed black jackal star image, two faint stars were flashing, and it seemed that they also had the strength of an initial two-star level.
During the struggle, the slanted-eyed man wanted to slap Fourteenth's skinny face.
At this time, a white hand stretched out!
The clamp was like a pair of steel pliers, which made the slant-eyed man unable to move his hands.
"Fourteen, do you still recognize me?" The one who caught the slanted-eyed man was Tang Zheng. He didn't seem to care about the big man he caught at the side. Instead greeted Fourteen with a smile on his face.
"Remember! Brother Thirteen, I will take you home. Good man!" Fourteen took the opportunity to snatch his things back from the big man, then looked up at Tang Zheng and answered.
"Since you remember, why don't you sell me the things you have?" Tang Zheng said with a harmless smile, "They are very valuable, enough to buy food and drink for all of you for a few years."
“……” Fourteen seemed a little bit unbelievable.
"We know you live there. We send people to deliver food there every month." Tang Zixie looked at Tang Zheng and nodded to Fourteen.
The slanted-eyed man had no idea where this group of people came from.
Even he didn’t know where Thirteen and the others lived, so how could this group of people know?
Tang Xiaotang looked at Fourteen's little face and nodded heavily: "Trust us."
Fourteen thought about it, then looked back at the mountain and said, "Brother Thirteen, my friend. Believe me!"
As he said this, he handed all the heavy things on his body to Tang Zheng.
The slanted-eyed man looked at the Cloud Swallowing Python in his hands, and was about to be stabbed by someone. He was shocked and angry, and tried to break free of Tang Zheng's hand: "Damn it, who are you? I'm warning you, let go of my hand! Old Five, Old Six, get your weapons out, I'm going to kick you out if you have the guts!"
The big man felt that one of his hands was being squeezed by Tang Zheng so hard that the bones were almost broken.
What's even more bizarre is that not only is this guy's hand terrifyingly powerful, but it also constantly emits scorching hot and icy constantly stings his wrists, making him feel not only excruciating pain, but also powerless all over. Forget about using martial arts, he couldn't even raise his other hand to fight back. In desperation, he had to shout for help towards the campsite.
Tang Zheng shook his head: "Your pulse has been seized, and you still have such a bad temper. Your brain must be a little bit sick. How about I help you wake up!"
After saying that, Tang Zheng raised his right hand.
Although he still had a genial smile on his face, the coldness in his eyes made the squinting man's legs tremble.
Snap, a crisp sound was heard!
A red mark of five fingers appeared on the slanted-eyed man's face, which was swollen.
"This slap is to ask you if it counts. Do you know how much the Cloud Swallowing Python is worth?"
The slanted-eyed man was stunned.
He stammered and made a vague sound...
Bang, the second slap came again!
"This slap in the face tells you not to insult the 'gold digger' industry!"
After the second slap, the slanted-eyed man coughed violently, and two big black teeth mixed with a mouthful of blood came out.
However, Tang Zheng did not give him any chance to react, and slapped him for the third time!
"This slap will teach you how to respect the elderly and love the young. You are trying to blackmail a bunch of orphans without parents. You are worse than an ungrateful wolf in the mountains!"
Among those who work in the gold mining business, how many are second-generation rich?
When Tang Zheng came out of the orphanage and was the most lonely, he was lucky enough to be guided by a few veterans for a while when he first entered the game. Otherwise, his life would not be much better than that group of little savages in Wu Qingshan!
…
The crisp sounds echoed at the mouth of the mountain river like a beat.
Soon, several other big men rushed out, holding sharp weapons, and the stars lit up.
Most of them had the strength of peak one star, and several of them surrounded Tang Zheng.
However, at this time, Xu Qingyan, who had been standing behind Tang Zheng and quietly watching him pretending to be cool, still had a cold and indifferent look on his face. He didn't even turn his head, but just raised the starry sky without making any sound.
The ferocious two-headed Tibetan mastiff and the three shining stars behind him immediately silenced the shouting villains.
Finally, when he was slapped for the fourteenth time, the poor slanted-eyed man's face was swollen like a pig's head.
Tang Zheng smiled and let go of his hand.
The big man, who had already been beaten unconscious, fell down limply, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"Okay, let's go." Tang Zheng clapped his hands, turned around and said to Xu Qingyan, Tang Xiaotang and the others with a smile.
Xu Qingyan nodded, put away the horoscope, picked up a storage bag, and followed Tang Zheng.
The evil men who had surrounded him didn't dare to stop him at all.
"I just realized that the feeling of getting hit in the face is really great... Look, my waist isn't sore anymore, my legs aren't hurting anymore, even my heart isn't beating fast... In my current state, it's effortless to hit five in one breath! Otherwise, why don't you find one and try hitting him a couple of times?" Tang Zheng suddenly stopped.
His eyes glanced with ill intent at the group of evil men who wanted to take action but didn't dare to, and were unwilling to let them go.
Upon hearing Tang Zheng's words, the group of evil men suddenly felt a deep malice coming from the world. They all felt a chill on their faces and quickly took a big step back.
Tang Zheng and his companions walked out leisurely like a sharp sword that split the surging tide.
Just as they were crossing the bridge, a half-familiar voice came from behind them: "Hey guys, what you did today was a little unkind!"
