“Get up, something’s wrong.”
Zhou Chen kicked the suited man who was still lying on the ground and urged him to get up.
The reason why he was urging him was because Zhou Chen sensed that some people were approaching. These people were moving together and quickly as if they were searching for something.
“What… What’s going on?”
The brutish man in the blue suit woke up. He sat up on the grass and rubbed his head before starting to look around.
“Some people are coming. They might not have good intentions. Let’s quickly leave this place.”
After saying that, Zhou Chen chose a direction with fewer people. Although he did not know if these people were friend or foe, he knew that he could not easily fall into the encirclement of others.
Seeing him leave, the suited man immediately got up and followed, even if he did not notice anything unusual.
Before long, the two of them stepped across the patch of grass and entered the woods. There, they encountered two men.
The two men were dressed like ancient Chinese warriors. They were dressed in black and had sabers at their waists.
“Who are you two?! Why are you here?!”
When they saw Zhou Chen and the suited man, they stopped and pulled out their sabers.
Zhou Chen could see their obvious expression of doubt, as if they were treated as suspects.
“We are refugees from afar.”
Because the system had already instilled the language of this world, Zhou Chen could understand their words and reply easily. He then told them the identity given by the system.
“Refugees? Why have I never seen refugees dressed like you two?”
One of them frowned when he heard Zhou Chen’s reply.
“The two of you better be honest, unless you want to do it the hard way.”
He raised the saber in his hand and threatened.
‘There are people gathering here. I can’t continue wasting time on them.’
Sensing that these two had the intention of stalling for time until their reinforcements arrived, Zhou Chen replied, “It’s up to you to believe it or not. Just don’t block our path.”
With that, he and the suited man walked to the side of the two men in black, preparing to leave.
“Guilty conscience! I think you’re the accomplices of those three!”
However, Zhou Chen’s words were of no use. Instead, it increased the suspicion of the two men.
“If you know what’s good for you, quickly surrender!”
They then charged towards Zhou Chen and the suited man with their weapons raised.
“You are asking for it!”
Zhou Chen had originally wanted to mind his own business even though he saw them send signals to others, but when they attacked, he dispelled this thought and took out the steel ironwood spear.
The first thrust pierced through one of the necks. Then, Zhou Chen pulled out his spear and hit the other’s weapon strongly, disarming it; he then stabbed through his chest.
‘They are weak… there is no drop either.’
‘These two aren’t strong, the others are probably not much stronger either. Why don’t I kill them all and see if they drop anything.’
After killing these two people, Zhou Chen wanted to kill the others. He had to eradicate them since he had already killed their people, but he was also curious about what the special drop was.
“You will be the bait to attract their attention.”
After telling the suited man, Zhou Chen turned around and ran up a tree, hiding.
The suited man did not refuse. He held an iron rod in his hand and hid behind a tree, observing his surroundings vigilantly.
A few seconds later, hurried footsteps came from the forest. Eight or nine people in the same black clothing as the men from before rushed over.
When they surrounded the suited man vigilantly, Zhou Chen suddenly landed behind them and began the massacre.
Miserable cries immediately sounded in the forest. These black-clothed people either had their hearts pierced by Zhou Chen’s spear or were directly killed by his punch. They were basically unable to survive till the second strike.
It was not that they did not fight back, but Zhou Chen’s speed was too fast and his destructive power too strong. Before they could even react, almost all of them were killed.
After a few seconds, only one of these black-clothed people was still alive. This person was the first to escape, and he was also the one that Zhou Chen had deliberately left behind.
“Who are you looking for?”
Zhou Chen placed his spear at the man’s neck and asked him in a deep voice.
The person’s legs shook when he heard Zhou Chen’s question. He stammered out his reply.
“Looking for… three people… who stole… our Black Eagle Sect’s… thing…”
“What was stolen?”
Zhou Chen was interested.
“I… don’t know… It seems to be a box…”
“Where is this place?”
Zhou Chen saw that the man really did not seem to know, so he began to ask for information.
“This is the south of Caelian Mountain…”
The person’s eyes immediately showed some doubt when he heard Zhou Chen asking about this information, but he submitted to the strength Zhou Chen had displayed earlier and quickly replied.
After a while, Zhou Chen learned some information he wanted and sent this person to the afterlife with a spear thrust.
“There’s no one else within 300 meters, my massacre should not be exposed. Unfortunately, nothing dropped.”
Zhou Chen had killed more than ten natives, but he did not get any drops, making him somewhat depressed.
“Let’s go south and find a town.”
Through the interrogation, Zhou Chen learned the location of some of the populated places in these parts of the world. If they wanted to survive this month, they naturally had to find places with people.
“This bag was left behind by the people they were chasing?”
The suited man who was carrying the cloth bag asked Zhou Chen.
“It’s possible…”
Zhou Chen nodded.
“I originally saw the number of things inside and thought that the system left it for us, but now I feel that it might not be the case.”
Zhou Chen no longer paid much attention to the things in the bag because he had obtained some silver pieces from searching the corpses. Not only was it easier to carry, but it also had a higher value.
After walking towards the south for a while, Zhou Chen suddenly frowned.
“There’s another person coming over. There’s only one, but it doesn’t feel ordinary to me.”
In Zhou Chen’s Bloodthirst perception, he realized that this person’s blood flow was strange, as if it contained special energy.
“Let’s observe for now…”
To be safe, he led the suited man to another direction to observe the person.
