Chapter 316: Revealing One's Means

As soon as those words left his mouth, the old man froze there.

That question really stumped him!

Savior Heir—isn't that something everyone knows?

He never expected that this powerful young man would never have heard of the Savior Heir.

"A Savior Heir is someone burdened with great responsibility, possessing various powerful abilities."

"The Black Tide covers the whole world and tries to swallow it, while the Savior Heirs are the ones who bear the responsibility of saving the world!"

Under the old man's explanation, Gu Han quickly grasped the concept of the Savior Heir.

Compared to sheer strength, perhaps having various special abilities is the main trait of a Savior Heir.

As for strength, maybe that's also one of the Savior Heir's strong points.

"I've traveled abroad for many years and have never seen the Savior Heir you, Uncle, speak of."

Gu Han found an excuse,

"Hearing what Uncle said, this is the first time I've heard of the existence of Savior Heirs."

Uncle, upon hearing that, had no doubts about Gu Han.

Savior Heirs are exalted beings, if it weren't for Lu Chui Zhen producing a Savior Heir.

Nowadays, there isn't a single Savior Heir in the entire Heixia Yu.

And Sheng Cheng is far away in the heavens; over time, people might forget that Savior Heirs still exist in this world.

The region where Gu Han lives, if it's a remote area,

then not having heard of Savior Heirs appearing would be quite normal.

"Please, young brother, lend a hand and help our Lu Chui Zhen!"

Faced with the old man's repeated pleas, Gu Han thought it over and agreed.

Although those several middle-aged men gave him a hard time, after all they were also considering the safety of Lu Chui Zhen.

Moreover, the old man had always been thinking of him, urging him to leave Lu Chui Zhen, this place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.

He was not ungrateful, so naturally he would not refuse the old man.

But helping is helping; he also needed to make these people pay some price!

Gu Han stayed in his room, watching the battle outside.

Wang Ye and several middle-aged men were already fighting the Black Tide Monsters in a melee.

The other townsfolk of Lu Chui Zhen were also not idle.

Those living relatively close rushed out, wielding long-handled iron hoes or shovels and other weapons to attack the Black Tide Monsters.

These long-handled weapons allowed them to stay safe while attacking the monsters.

But the Black Tide Monsters feel no pain; even if they fight to the death, they will try to inflict as much injury as possible on these people.

When all the Black Tide Monsters on the street are dead.

Three people on the field were struck by the monsters' attacks, leaving several ferocious wounds.

Black qi emanated from those wounds, making the surrounding people shiver!

Those who had been fighting side by side, upon seeing the black qi emanating from the opponents' wounds, instinctively stepped back a few steps.

The wounded three were filled with despair in their eyes.

Although these wounds might heal, they could also become the medium that turns them into Black Tide Monsters!

But no one can be sure about any of this!

Gu Han, still in the room, suddenly recalled a lyric at that moment.

Is your action of retreating half a step sincere?

This step may be small, but even if these three do not become Black Tide Monsters, it will still leave a rift in their hearts.

Go ahead, kill me!

Among the three, one put down his weapon, closed his eyes like a prisoner awaiting judgment.

Even if others do nothing, after they are wounded, Lu Chui Zhen will no longer have a place for them to stay!

Even if their families do not reject them because they might become Black Tide Monsters.

They dare not take that risk and return home.

Once they truly cannot withstand the Black Tide's infection, even their families will bury them alive!

Thinking of this, one of the middle-aged men began to tremble like a sieve, his body shaking uncontrollably.

Even when facing the Black Tide Monsters earlier, he could muster courage and not retreat.

But now, thinking of not being able to go home to see his family, he could not control his inner despair.

Such a petty Black Tide, and it's giving you trouble?

Suddenly a voice rang out, and everyone on the street froze in place.

Wang Ye withdrew his gaze from the wounded brother's body and looked toward the direction the voice came from.

He saw that the person approaching was actually Gu Han standing together with his great-uncle.

Outsider, what wicked scheme are you hatching again?

He and several others stepped in front of Gu Han, preventing him from contacting the three possibly infected by the Black Tide.

Gu Han smiled lightly,

These three have already been infected by the Black Tide; they'll turn into Black Tide Monsters soon—do you still fear I might have some ideas about them?

Saying that, he flipped his palm, and a crisp fruit appeared in his hand,

To you, the Black Tide may be a terrifying nightmare, but to me, this minor infection is nothing more than a skin disease!

What scab, what disease?

Wang Ye, who had never heard this term, was stunned, and his gaze quickly fell on the fruit in Gu Han's hand.

The strong vitality emanating from this fruit could be clearly felt even from a distance.

Perhaps this fruit could really save the lives of several brothers!

The three injured people, whose eyes had already dimmed, regained their brightness.

It seemed as if they saw hope of survival.

Thinking this, Wang Ye instinctively reached out and grabbed for the fruit in Gu Han's hand.

Smack!

However, Gu Han slapped it away with a smack.

Wang Ye looked at Gu Han in astonishment,

"What do you mean?"

Gu Han glanced at Wang Ye indifferently,

"Don't you intend to say something?"

As Gu Han's words fell, Wang Ye had not yet spoken, and the old man's son could no longer hold back.

He stood up from the crowd and glared angrily at Gu Han.

"How long will you, this fellow, continue to be so overbearing?"

"Whether your fruit actually works is still uncertain, but our willingness to try it is already trust in you."

"Just because you appeared here, the Black Tide Monster followed; even if we executed you on the spot, others would find no fault."

"Now it's a critical moment; if time drags on, even if your fruit really works, it may not save my brothers' lives."

"In your eyes, are three lives not as important as your stubborn arguments?"

The middle-aged man's words were extremely angry, almost spitting saliva onto Gu Han's face.

However, before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, the old man stepped forward and struck his face hard with a slap.

"Have you caused enough trouble?!"

Smack!

The loud slap echoed across the scene.

The middle-aged man covered his swollen cheek, looking at his father in a dazed manner.

"Dad, what are you doing?"
