Chapter 15: Ruthless Hand

Other world.

Inside the temporary camp.

Fang Xing opened a smart computer he had picked up from the second-hand market.

"Start data transmission!"

His ten fingers pressed rapidly, and screen after screen appeared.

Among them were a large number of videos shot by the simulated bird-type drones, as well as images and sounds recorded by the beetle monitors.

"Hmm, it is indeed an ancient agricultural society… farming techniques are all very primitive."

In the monitoring screen, the most common thing was farming.

Watching the "farmers" in rags sweating like rain facing the yellow earth and backing the sky, Fang Xing was a little silent.

Because these "farmers" were at least martial artists of the first or second realm, and even those at the Unpolished Jade Realm appeared occasionally!

Fortunately, the local Unpolished Jade martial artists had average vigilance, or rather, had never seen simulated monitoring equipment, so they didn't discover any flaws.

Most of the time, these martial artist farmers worked in silence, their faces numb, without any vitality.

Only on very rare occasions would they say a few words to each other.

After so many days of collection, from lip shape to pronunciation, the data was complete.

What Fang Xing had to do was let the smart brain perform the final integration, and then learn this new language!

'It's a pity there is no learning device, but it won't take much time for me to learn this language…'

After all, as an excellent student who came out of exam-oriented education, Fang Xing still had a lot of confidence in this point.

The practice of martial arts is actually a kind of evolution; the memory and thinking activity of one's own brain will increase significantly with the growth of the realm!

"Martial artists here can only farm or pick up dung, or go to the wilderness for adventure?"

Watching the second-hand computer organizing and analyzing data, Fang Xing began to scan those monitoring screens, trying to understand the martial arts ecology of this world.

He had seen martial artists farming, transporting dung carts, and adventuring; most martial artists lived very poorly, and only those at the Unpolished Jade Realm lived slightly better.

"Besides that, there are people with higher status…"

Fang Xing opened a monitoring segment, which was shot from a very long distance, and could see a slightly fat middle-aged man dressed in silk robes, dressed like a squire, collecting supplies from door to door, including rice, ore, herbs, and even the crystal sand he had on hand…

In the end, a total of several large carts were loaded and taken away, and the escorts were all Unpolished Jade martial artists, but in front of this squire middle-aged man, their status was clearly a head lower, appearing very polite, and even a bit respectful.

This was not purely a gap in status, but more likely in strength!

This short and fat squire man was suspected of having the ability to kill several Unpolished Jade martial artists!

"Talisman…"

Fang Xing thought of the talisman once used by the leader of the adventure four-person team, as well as the image of the Golden Bell Shield, and had a judgment in his heart.

"The top priority is to learn the local language first, then change clothes, and try to make contact…"

.. ￠o

He looked at the second-hand computer screen and found that the cracking progress marked as "Other World Language" was less than 10%.

"There is still time, eh?"

Just then, the first drone that Fang Xing ordered to cruise and monitor sent back a picture.

In the picture, a woman with broken clothes and bloodstains all over her body was fleeing in a panic.

Looking at the direction, in a few minutes, she would discover the location of the temporary camp!

"Hmm? Another result of that wild boar?"

Fang Xing frowned.

The wild monster nearby had astonishing strength.

Except for the leader of the Unpolished Jade four-person team who barely escaped with the power of a talisman, the other herb pickers encountered were dead without a doubt, simply worthy of being called a herb picker killer.

Even the corpses of those herb pickers eventually fell into the belly of the wild boar, dying without a whole corpse.

This woman didn't need to be looked at; she must also be a herb picker, forced into a panic by that wild boar.

"But why did she run here?"

Fang Xing felt a bit of a headache.

"Looking at the speed of her figure, she should be less than the third realm, a second-realm martial artist… she shouldn't have any dangerous items on her, otherwise, even with one talisman, she wouldn't be forced to this extent by that wild boar."

He sighed, let the protective suit cover his whole body, without missing his eyes, ears, mouth, or nose, and picked up the electric baton: "Go and see…"

……

Whoosh!

A figure flashed, and Xue Yuling displayed her movement technique, sweeping across a thicket of thorns and bushes.

She had a tall figure and fair skin, and a pair of long legs that had once made the Immortal Master linger.

If it weren't for encountering difficulties, she wouldn't have come out alone to take the risk of picking herbs.

"Damn it, I was cheated!"

"The acquisition price of 'Candle Dragon Grass' in Green Forest Workshop has risen; sure enough, picking it is even more dangerous… those people above don't want to give us any loopholes to drill."

Xue Yuling gritted her teeth.

The competition in the workshop was too fierce, and it was said that some female Immortal Masters specializing in charm arts had come down to grab food.

Although the business of half-covered doors could be done, it was only barely enough not to starve to death.

Wanting to buy spiritual rice and pills to improve martial arts was simply a delusion.

Therefore, she still had to come; who would have thought that she would encounter a wild boar monster that seemed to have advanced a small rank? Not only was the team wiped out, but she also fell to such a miserable extent.

'Soon… as long as I run a little further, there will be a river, and then I can jump into the river to escape!'

Xue Yuling was not sure if that wild boar monster was still behind, but having suffered hardships since she was a child, she would definitely think about problems from the worst possibility.

The river in the Great Wilderness was exceptionally dangerous, but it could wash away the smell on her body; this was the only way to survive!

Suddenly!

She saw the grass in front move, and a silvery-white humanoid monster jumped out!

"What kind of ghost thing is this?"

Xue Yuling gave a delicate shout, but the ruthless nature she had mixed in the bottom layer had no hesitation. She raised her hand, and three cold lights were like flying stars, hitting Fang Xing's chest heavily.

"Hidden weapon?"

Fang Xing was stunned, then saw three flying darts fall to the ground, with blue light flickering on the sharp blade, clearly quenched with a layer of highly toxic poison.

Fortunately, he was wearing a nano-protective suit, and it didn't break his defense at all, even unloading a lot of force, just feeling a bit stuffy in his chest.

"You actually dared to take the initiative to kill me; no matter which world, it can be counted as my legitimate defense next!"

Fang Xing shouted, and the electric baton in his hand fell.

"What kind of strange cry is that?"

Xue Yuling couldn't understand Fang Xing's language at all, but it didn't hinder the appearance of an iron judge pen in her hand, blocking the electric baton; the move could be described as quite exquisite.

Even the tip of the pen trembled slightly, pointing directly at several major acupoints on Fang Xing's body, clearly containing an extremely fierce counterattack.

This set of "Splashing Wind Pen" pen techniques, if placed in the mortal martial arts world, would be a top-notch strange skill!

Clang!

Feeling the force coming from the judge pen, Xue Yuling felt a little relieved in her heart: "This strange person's strength is so weak…"

But the next moment, she was horrified to see a ball of electric sparks flickering on the black stick of the other party!

The terrifying current followed, causing her whole person to fly backward and fall to the ground, twitching.

"Blood-refined magic weapon? You actually have a blood-refined magic weapon?"

Xue Yuling looked at the humanoid monster walking over, confirmed that the other party should also be a human race, and hurriedly called out: "My lord, spare my life…"

Cooperating with her delicate appearance, it was truly quite a feeling of pity.

"What are you saying? I can't understand!"

Fang Xing could guess a few words of what the other party said, but he also knew what was being begged for.

Unfortunately…

"The more beautiful a woman is, the more troublesome she is… so you go die!"

Fang Xing pointed out with a stick.

Zzzzt!

A silver-white current emerged from the top of the electric baton, accurately hitting Xue Yuling's forehead.

"This merchant is a liar; clearly said it could shock an elephant, this woman can actually still speak… shock a few more times, just in case."

Fang Xing poked with the electric baton, confirmed that this woman was really dead, and then put on rubber gloves to go up and touch the corpse.

This woman didn't know that he had the sky eye of a drone, so he naturally knew that the wild monster had long since given up the pursuit.

It was just that the "way of life" the other party thought she had chosen was a dead end.

I don't know if this woman came back to life, would she be angry enough to die again?

"Wait… is this my first time killing someone? Should I vomit?"

Fang Xing was a little slow to react, took a deep breath, and calmed his mood.

￠o

Well…

Maybe the travel was too incredible, plus he accepted the memory of his predecessor, suffering the hardships of the cyborg…

In short, he found that his mood was not very anxious or fearful…

After a few deep breaths, there was only calmness left, calmly starting to touch the corpse.

"Good figure…"

"Trophies… a pair of judge pens, a money pouch, three jade bottles… eh? Actually, there is a book?"

Fang Xing picked up a book in his hand.

The paper texture of this book was average, thread-bound, the pages were yellowed, and there were some traces of insect damage and filth.

On the cover, four other-world characters were written in a dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing manner, none of which Fang Xing recognized.

"Good stuff…"

He didn't dislike it at all: "This is excellent research data; take it to the smart brain for analysis, it can greatly speed up the cracking progress!"

As for the money pouch?

After opening it, there were only three grains of sand exactly the same as the one obtained before.

"Looks like… a currency similar to a general equivalent? So, I have seven coins in total?"

Fang Xing rubbed his chin and looked at the jade bottles again.

Two of the bottles had their seals opened, and he didn't dare to smell them rashly, let alone swallow anything, preparing to test them with poison test paper and white mice later.

The last bottle had a wax seal on the mouth, looking intact and unopened.

On the bottle body, three other-world characters were engraved, which he still couldn't understand.

'An intact bottle, what is the probability that it is a poison trap?'

'If it's a trap? The humans in this world shouldn't eat the trophies on the enemy directly, right?' ===== CHAPTER 16 =====
