Chapter 57: 057 Compatriots
"The treatment you get when you go out is too good!"
Zhang Bei smiled: "The Trading Space has the function of preserving food; it's a waste not to use it."
Lu Wencheng rolled his eyes: "Every time you store or retrieve, it costs energy. Do you really think everyone is as rich as you?"
Zhang Bei gave a dry laugh and didn't speak again.
After this period of development, the settlement now brought in a large amount of Crystal Core income every day.
Even, someone had opened a restaurant in the city.
It was said that business was not bad.
From top to bottom, the Nantian settlement wouldn't be stingy about the use of Crystal Cores.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two soon entered dreamland.
The sky was bright, and Zhang Bei stood at the cave entrance, looking at the scenery outside, frowning.
Logically speaking, someone should have searched nearby by now.
But now there wasn't the slightest trace.
He frowned: "Let's go!"
Daniu was startled: "Not waiting here anymore?"
Zhang Bei nodded: "I have a bad premonition; this place is still a bit too open. It will be very troublesome if there are too many people."
Watching Zhang Bei's already advancing steps, Daniu hurriedly followed.
The two walked all the way and soon walked out of the jungle.
What appeared before their eyes was a small town of considerable scale.
However, looking at the scene before him, Zhang Bei's eyes instantly turned cold.
Over a dozen yellow-skinned people were hung on the city wall, and curses in their native tongue spilled out.
Lu Wencheng's gaze looked at Zhang Bei; the meaning was very clear: if you don't go up, I will.
Zhang Bei's eyes were cold: "Save people first!"
Lu Wencheng nodded, his figure flashed and landed on the city wall, untying the ropes one after another.
The dozen or so figures saw Lu Wencheng, and their eyes instantly lit up.
But then they dimmed again.
"Big brother, run quickly, don't worry about us!"
Zhang Bei stood on the city wall, eyes narrowed: "Why do you say that?"
A young man sat on the ground: "You possess Transcendent power, so you have a chance to go back. We people have no value at all now."
Zhang Bei looked at the people who had already come to investigate the situation in the city and turned his head to look at Lu Wencheng.
"Retreat first, talk after leaving here!"
Lu Wencheng nodded, pulling this group of people into the jungle.
Along the way, Zhang Bei listened to the young man recount the history of these Huaxia people being oppressed.
Finally walking into the jungle, Zhang Bei also finished listening to the story.
This group of people were exchange students from several universities, totaling eight hundred people.
Originally, in a foreign land, Huaxia people were already not well-received.
Arriving here, it evolved even more into oppression and exploitation.
Of the original eight hundred people, only these dozen or so remained after death and injury.
Ye Fan: 【tmd kill them!】
Niu Xuanming: 【Brother Bei, go for it!】
Li Qinqin: 【Brother Bei, don't let them go!】
"You guard them here, I'll vent."
Hearing Zhang Bei's words, Lu Wencheng hesitated.
Honestly, his hot temper had long wanted to go.
But now he didn't know where the pursuers behind were.
Plus, this group of people were all ordinary people and needed protection in the wild.
Finally, he nodded: "Go ahead!"
Zhang Bei drew the long bow and walked toward the city in front.
Outside the city, several people were walking toward the jungle following footprints.
"These yellow-skinned monkeys still want to run?"
"Where can they run? There are so many wild beasts in the jungle, they'll have to come back sooner or later!"
"Hahaha, after we find them, shall we compete in slicing meat?"
Slicing meat could be considered a competition passed down from the Middle Ages.
Two people each used a long sword to cut a piece of meat from a slave.
The competition was whose slave died last.
It was somewhat similar to the ancient "death by a thousand cuts", but even more cruel.
The few people searching suddenly discovered Zhang Bei's figure, and one person drew a whip and stood where he was.
"Trash, get over here quickly!"
Zhang Bei didn't speak, drew a long sword with one hand, and slashed out a Jian Qi.
The standing figure's face changed, and with a wave of one hand, an ice wall appeared before his eyes.
The Jian Qi easily broke through the ice wall and then cut the man's body open.
The expressions of the few people standing to the side changed instantly.
Just as they were about to draw weapons to attack.
Zhang Bei's figure flashed five times in succession.
Several figures immediately lay powerlessly on the ground.
Zhang Bei's steps didn't pause, and he finally stood before the small town.
Black-red light shrouded his entire body.
Black wings slowly unfurled from behind him; he had already turned into the appearance of a Fallen Angel.
Niu Xuanming: 【Holy crap, cool!】
Wu Yingcai: 【Finally can see it!】
Li Qinqin: 【Sure enough, cool every time I see it!】
The wings flapped slightly, and he arrived above the small town.
And the crowd in the small town also discovered Zhang Bei instantly.
【Oh my god, a demon!】
【My Lord, demons have appeared, where are you?】
【Are you all blind? That's clearly a yellow-skinned monkey!】
Zhang Bei casually took out a Level 10 Crystal Core and clipped it onto the long bow.
The red arrow streaked through the air and landed in the crowd.
The explosion carrying firelight immediately plunged the entire small town into madness.
No one had expected that this yellow-skinned monkey, looking like a demon, could fire an attack with such great power.
This single arrow killed or injured over a hundred people!
Zhang Bei, floating in mid-air, didn't stay idle at all and clipped another Level 10 Crystal Core onto the long bow.
For the next two minutes, the entire small town thoroughly felt the power of money.
It was almost one arrow every two seconds; a full sixty arrows were scattered throughout the small town in two minutes.
This also meant that in just two minutes, Zhang Bei had consumed sixty Level 10 Crystal Cores.
The city before his eyes had thoroughly turned into ruins.
Roaring flames burned.
Zhang Bei casually dispelled his Fallen Angel state and landed on the ground.
Lu Wencheng hurriedly walked up with a group of people.
"Is this your bloodline?"
Zhang Bei nodded, his gaze looking at the shocked crowd behind: "I'll give you some Crystal Cores, find a place to awaken your abilities. Following us is too dangerous."
The leading young man's eyes flickered with light: "Are you from over there?"
Zhang Bei drew a bag of Crystal Cores and nodded: "It won't be long before you can go back. Use this time to improve your strength well."
The young man took a deep breath: "I will!"
Zhang Bei carried a smile on his mouth, waved his hand, and walked toward the front.
Lu Wencheng narrowed his eyes and followed behind Zhang Bei.
Although he had saved these people, this was just one city!
He didn't know how many compatriots were suffering in the entire continent.
Zhang Bei looked at Lu Wencheng's expression and also knew the reason.
"Don't worry, when we can bring people over, Iron Blood will let them see what true Huaxia people are."
Lu Wencheng's eyes immediately lit up.
That's right!
Zhang Bei still had the trump card of Iron Blood in his hand!
Relying solely on this team, piercing through this continent wouldn't be a problem at all. ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
