Chapter 7: First Intimate Contact with the Natives
Zhang Yuhe carefully placed the token into his pants pocket, and then opened the wooden treasure chest.
There was only one Spirit Stone.
"How stingy. Such a fierce Demonic Beast, yet it only gave one Spirit Stone."
However, he didn't care. With the Dao Saint Sect token, who needs a bicycle?
Zhang Yuhe put away the Spirit Stone and continued on his journey, leaving behind two Demonic Beast corpses in place.
He didn't know which direction the natives' city would be in. Having operated in this mountain forest for a month, he hadn't even encountered a single shadow of a person.
He had no way to find someone to ask, so he could only roughly judge the direction based on the mountain terrain.
As for whether he would take the wrong path, only heaven knows. When doing things, one must have the courage to make and correct mistakes.
He would just run in one direction and try it out first.
Zhang Yuhe quickly shuttled through the mountain forest, bypassing any Demonic Beasts he encountered.
He was not interested in Demonic Beasts right now; he just wanted to find a native city as soon as possible and then ask how to get to the Dao Saint Sect.
To him, nothing was more important than going to the Dao Saint Sect.
Zhang Yuhe did not want any accidents to happen. What if he accidentally kicked the bucket and dropped the token?
Whether players would drop items upon death was an uncertain matter.
He did not want to take even the slightest risk.
Running steadily to the Dao Saint Sect and then joining the Sect was the top priority.
As long as he could join the Dao Saint Sect, with his heaven-defying cultivation Aptitude, Ascension was in sight.
This was an fated opportunity that could not be missed.
Zhang Yuhe ran all the way. After about two hours, he noticed that the surrounding trees seemed not as tall as the previous ones.
Moreover, the mountain terrain began to become gentle.
"Could it be that I am about to walk out of the mountain forest?"
According to general common sense, this should be a sign of getting out of the deep mountains.
"I hope I can run into natives as soon as possible and ask for directions. Running around blindly like this is truly worrisome."
After running for a while longer, Zhang Yuhe suddenly stopped his footsteps.
"It seems there are people."
He listened intently, and waves of beast roars and fighting sounds came from a distance.
The distance was a bit far, and he almost didn't notice it.
"Haha, there really are people. Let's go over and take a look."
Zhang Yuhe restrained his aura and quietly groped towards the direction where the sound came from.
He didn't foolishly charge over directly; heaven knows what kind of situation the fight over there was.
In case he ran into a hot-tempered native who thought he was stealing monsters and slashed him right away, wouldn't that be nonsense.
After a while, Zhang Yuhe saw the source of the sound.
He saw a young boy in white, manipulating a Flying Sword and sparring with a huge wild boar monster.
Behind the boy in white stood a middle-aged man in cyan.
He looked like a bodyguard character.
Zhang Yuhe roughly imagined in his mind: this was a Young Master, who should have brought a guard out for experiential training. He just didn't know if there were other companions nearby.
Watching the boy in white gracefully manipulate the Flying Sword, his figure constantly dodging and moving, occasionally striking out small fireballs with his hands,
Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel envious. This was true immortal cultivation.
Like him, holding a long saber to hack monsters completely lacked any aesthetic feeling.
Zhang Yuhe sensed the auras of these two people from afar.
The boy in white only had the fourth layer of Qi cultivation, fighting evenly with the wild boar monster.
As for the cyan-clad middle-aged man, he was at the sixth layer of Qi.
"Very good. The strength of these two people is not strong, so I can safely contact them."
Only when encountering those weaker than him could he safely interact with them.
If he really ran into a native whose cultivation he couldn't see through, he would definitely turn around and leave.
In this desolate mountain ridge place, if someone slashed him with a knife, there would be nowhere to reason it out.
It was mainly because he carried the Dao Saint Sect token, fearing that it would drop out if he kicked the bucket.
Otherwise, he wouldn't need to be so cautious.
Anyway, his identity was a player. If he really got hacked to death, it would just mean cultivating less for a period of time.
But now it wouldn't do; now he had to lay low, with stability taking precedence.
Zhang Yuhe did not show up immediately, but hid behind a tree to quietly observe, because the battle of that boy in white was reaching a critical moment.
He certainly didn't want to cause misunderstanding from others.
Suddenly, the boy in white made a misstep with his feet, and the wild boar monster fiercely charged towards him, seemingly unable to avoid it.
At this time, the cyan guard standing behind the boy in white shouted loudly.
"Sixth Young Master, be careful."
The cyan guard waved his right hand, and a Flying Sword turned into a long rainbow, instantly nailing the wild boar monster to the ground.
This cyan guard was obviously very competent and experienced, which was why he could save the boy in time.
Seeing that the other party had resolved the battle, Zhang Yuhe wanted to show up and say hello.
Perhaps because of the near accident just now, the cyan guard became even more cautious.
While quickly walking towards the boy in white, he carefully observed the surrounding situation to avoid any further danger.
Just at this moment, the cyan guard suddenly discovered Zhang Yuhe hiding behind the tree.
He shouted loudly:
"What person is sneaking around hiding there, come out."
Having his hiding spot seen through, Zhang Yuhe felt very awkward.
Obviously, coming out to greet them oneself and being discovered by others were completely different matters.
"Don't misunderstand, I just passed by here and came over to take a look after hearing the sounds of fighting."
There was no help for it; since his hiding spot was called out by others, he could only explain.
Although these two people were just two weaklings in his eyes, he still planned to ask them for directions.
Therefore, his attitude naturally had to be a bit better.
After all, one doesn't hit a smiling person.
However, the development of events completely exceeded his expectations.
That boy in white, not knowing which nerve he struck wrong, saw Zhang Yuhe appear from behind the tree and inexplicably cried out in exasperation.
"You commoner, you actually dare to peek at this Young Master practicing a spell, you're truly courting death."
After saying that, the boy in white pointed with his right hand, and a small fireball rushed straight towards Zhang Yuhe.
"Fuck, what kind of lunatic is this?"
Zhang Yuhe was stunned for a moment, and then he became angry.
I was talking to you nicely, yet you fucking went straight for a lethal blow.
Did he take the wrong medicine or something.
Originally, he still wanted to ask these two people for some news, but now that the other party struck first, naturally everything was out of the question.
Zhang Yuhe quickly shifted his body to dodge the other's Fireball Spell.
Clang...
The long saber was unsheathed, while the aura of Qi Great Perfection was wantonly emitted.
"Not good, Young Master run quickly, the opponent is at Qi Great Perfection."
Unfortunately, everything was already too late now.
Zhang Yuhe's figure was as fast as lightning, and in two leaps, he rushed in front of the boy in white.
The blade light cut through the sky, and the boy in white didn't even have time to make any reaction before he was cleaved to death by a single slash.
With his current strength, hacking a weakling at the fourth layer of Qi naturally had no pressure.
Resolved with a single slash, without any drag or hesitation.
Seeing the boy die, the cyan guard was so scared that he immediately released his Flying Sword and fled through the air.
He had completely no thought of fighting Zhang Yuhe.
He, at the sixth layer of Qi, how could he possibly win.
But how could Zhang Yuhe let him run away?
Since they had already started, they had to be completely exterminated. Anyway, killing one is killing, and killing two is also killing.
It's just that at this time the cyan guard had already flown mid-air, accelerating to run away into the distance.
Zhang Yuhe couldn't fly and simply couldn't catch up.
"Humph, it's come to this point, and you still want to run."
Seeing the other party decisively running away, Zhang Yuhe was not worried; he quickly threw out the long saber in his hand.
I can't fly to catch up to you, but as long as my saber can catch up to you, that's enough.
The long saber was like lightning, heading straight towards the cyan guard in the air.
Seeing the long saber flying over, the cyan guard hurriedly manipulated his Flying Sword to change direction, wanting to avoid it.
However, before he even had time to make a move, he had already been pierced through the chest by the long saber, plunging headfirst down.
In front of the gap in strength, everything was in vain.
Not knowing if it was because he killed too many Demonic Beasts, or for other reasons.
Although it was his first time killing someone, Zhang Yuhe did not have any discomfort.
This was a real living person, not an NPC in an ordinary game.
Of course, all of this had to be blamed on that boy in white for being a lunatic.
It was truly inexplicable.
Who would have thought that his first contact with the natives would turn out to be such a result.
But now Zhang Yuhe also figured it out. It was estimated that the boy in white had almost encountered an accident while fighting the wild boar monster just now.
And the result happened to be seen by him.
For these Young Masters, making a fool of oneself in front of outsiders was simply losing face to the greatest extent.
Earlier, Zhang Yuhe had restrained his aura, so someone whose Realm was lower than his really couldn't tell for a moment.
The boy in white thought he was just a mortal, so viciousness arose from the courage in his heart, and he directly made a lethal move.
One can only say, if you don't court death, you won't die.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but shake his head. Lunatics are everywhere; it's just that he was unlucky today to run into one.
"Hmm, let's loot the corpse first and then run away quickly. This Young Master died, which might attract trouble."
He didn't want to guess the odd logic of the boy in white either; anyway, he was already a dead man.
Zhang Yuhe now only hoped that the boy in white carried some things that would interest him.
After all, since he didn't ask for directions, leaving some good things behind after death as compensation was also very reasonable, right?
