Chapter 4: Hit the small ones, and the big ones come

Fuck your mother's stinky fart!

Although the other side outnumbered them, Ma Tie was still provoked by their shameless conduct.

When Gu Han previously fought the Green Wolf, the Green Wolf wasn't injured at all; stop putting on an act here—you're clearly just trying to steal our stuff!

The burly man Fang Yan's eyes turned cold,

What the hell are you, did I let you speak?

Relying on their numerical advantage, Fang Yan snorted coldly, lifted his leg and kicked toward Ma Tie's chest.

You dare to strike me? You've got some nerve!

Gu Han's eyes turned slightly cold; during this period of hunting wild beasts together, Gu Han had already acknowledged Ma Tie and the others in his heart.

Seeing the other side dare to act, he immediately rushed forward, covering three steps in two, arriving first despite moving later, and kicked the burly man's hind leg with a thrusting leg.

Ugh!!

Fang Yan let out a miserable cry, fell to the ground, clutching his thigh and rolling around in pain.

His face turned deathly pale; he never expected that, despite their numerical advantage, the other side would dare to fight back!

Don't they fear they won't be able to settle this?

Fang Yan, enraged from shame, roared with a ferocious expression,

Damn it, what are you standing there for? Beat this brat to death for me!

They exchanged a glance, wicked intent rising in their hearts, and each grabbed weapons, shouting as they charged at Gu Han.

In response, Gu Han was not only unafraid, but eager to try.

The feeling of hunting wild beasts and fighting other people is completely different.

Having a challenge actually makes him more excited!

One of them, being closer, rushed to Gu Han in just a few steps.

He held a wooden stick about a person's length, and with all his strength swept it toward Gu Han's knee, clearly intending to shatter Gu Han's kneecap!

Such a vicious tactic made Ma Tie and the others' faces change dramatically.

Ma Tie even cried out in alarm,

Gu Han, be careful!

Saying that, Ma Tie rushed forward to help, but it was simply too late.

"Looking for death!" Gu Han said coldly.

Since they struck first, don't blame him for showing no mercy!

As the long stick swept horizontally toward him, Gu Han pushed off with both legs and leapt up, causing the stick to strike empty air.

Immediately, Gu Han's long blade slashed straight at the opponent's neck!

Swish!

That person's eyes filled with panic, unable to dodge in time, he could only shrug and block the blade with his shoulder.

A shrill scream echoed through the mountains in an instant, and some nearby people hearing it rushed over immediately.

Gu Han's merciless blade cut into the opponent's shoulder, and as he withdrew the sword, a large chunk of flesh and blood came out with it.

Seeing this bloody scene, some who had not yet reached Gu Han felt a sudden chill.

The soft fear the hard, the hard fear the reckless, the reckless fear those who fear nothing.

At first they dared to rob the Green Wolf's corpse, intending to rely on their numbers to pick on an easy target.

Since Gu Han refused to back down, they decided to play hard.

But they didn't expect the other side to become so ruthless!

In just a moment, they were subdued!

Even Ma Tie and the others standing beside Gu Han swallowed nervously, feeling wary.

Serving in the military properly, they never expected the first day to be this exciting!

Gu Han's eyes turned cold; he did not retreat but advanced, charging alone at the eight!

These people had just been wanting to strike him.

Since he had the advantage, Gu Han naturally wouldn't let them off!

Bang!

Gu Han's blade clashed with one person's sword, producing a piercing metallic ring.

That person's body shuddered, feeling numbness in the tiger's mouth.

Gu Han, meanwhile, staggered back three or four steps before barely stabilizing himself.

Seeing this, that person's face instantly lit up with joy.

"Brothers, this kid's strength isn't great; we can handle him!"

"Hehe, after today, you'd better prepare to stay in bed!"

After sending four people to delay Ma Tie and the others, the remaining four decisively surrounded Gu Han on all sides.

Earlier, seeing Gu Han's astonishing speed, they thought he was a second-stage martial apprentice pretending to be weak.

Now that someone has probed and found Gu Han is only faster, with no difference otherwise from a first-stage martial apprentice,

Then, with their numerical superiority, they could certainly take down Gu Han!

"What nonsense with this fellow? Today we must establish our might, so they know who's boss on this mountain!"

One of the more hot-tempered logistics soldiers clenched his fists ruthlessly,

"He dares to rob our Green Wolf; I think he doesn't want to live."

In wartime, the battlefield belongs to the combat soldiers.

But in peacetime, it's the time for these logistics soldiers to be evaluated!

Only by hunting more valuable prey can one obtain the rewards issued from above, thereby gaining the opportunity to become a Combat Soldier.

Having already come to the border pass as a fact, many still hope to make a name for themselves, so they can return home with honor in the future, even bring glory to their ancestors!

He said, then brandished his broadsword and rushed toward Gu Han.

The broadsword whistled with tiger-like vigor, sweeping horizontally toward Gu Han's throat, clearly aiming to take his life directly.

The others did not stand by either; they each brandished their weapons and launched a coordinated attack on Gu Han.

Gu Han did not choose to meet force with force.

What he absorbed from the Big Gray Rabbit and the azure wolf corpses were basically speed attribute points.

In terms of strength, he had no advantage over these people.

He must make the most of his speed advantage if he hopes to defeat the four of them working together.

Seeing that a slash was about to hit Gu Han, he suddenly dropped into a squat, causing the opponent's strike to miss.

And the cleaver in his hand likewise lashed out, cutting into the opponent's thigh.

With a hiss, crimson blood spurted from the thigh.

Blood poured forth!

Gu Han did not continue the pursuit; instead, he rolled on the spot to evade the others' attacks, but he was still grazed on the back by someone's staff.

Gu Han let out a muffled groan, feeling some pain.

The wound previously inflicted by the azure wolf had not yet healed, and with the two injuries overlapping, Gu Han was also faring poorly.

However, once he broke free from the three-man encirclement, he could easily toy with them using his speed!

"Damn, this kid is clearly only a First-stage Martial Apprentice, so how can his speed be so fast?"

Watching Gu Han's feet kick up wind, he effortlessly flung them behind, and these people were instantly shocked, cursing under their breath.

Gu Han turned back and glanced; after the three had slightly opened some distance, he traced an arc with his feet and suddenly spun around.

His lithe body was like a leopard pouncing on prey, lunging at the nearest person with the speed of thunder before one could cover their ears.

That person's face changed drastically in an instant, but he only had time to sweep out a staff before seeing Gu Han already appear before him.

Bang!

Gu Han chopped the staff in that person's hand in half with a single blow, then delivered a powerful, heavy kick to his chest.

Crack!

He felt as if a massive hammer had struck his chest, his bones seeming to shatter.

He let out a miserable scream as his body flew backward with a bang and crashed to the ground.

Gu Han licked his lips, still eager for more.

Since coming to this world, he had never before experienced such an exhilarating battle.

"No wonder I used to hear about martial maniacs in novels; it turns out defeating an opponent feels this good!"

Gu Han gave a hehe laugh and continued charging toward the other person.

That smile fell in the person's eyes, as if he were seeing a demon crawl out of hell!

Originally, with four of them they could still pose some threat to Gu Han, but now only two remained, and he easily knocked them both to the ground.

Seeing their comrades fall, the few who were grappling with Ma Tie and the others were suddenly startled.

Four people joining forces actually aren't a match for this kid?

"The wind's tight—let's go!"

Their faces changed dramatically; they turned and ran, no longer bothering to deal with Ma Tie.

"Pah, a bunch of trash sure can run fast!"

Ma Tie spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the ground, glaring fiercely at their retreating backs, then withdrew his gaze and came to Gu Han's side,

"Gu Han, you're not hurt, are you?"

Gu Han shook his head,

"I'm fine; how about you guys?"

Ma Tie gave a grin showing his teeth,

"Not bad; at least we didn't lose out."

At first, Ma Tie didn't really want to go all out against these people.

But the other side showed no mercy, provoking Ma Tie's true fury, and later he held nothing back.

Even without lifting his clothes, he knew his body must be covered in black-and-blue marks.

"Damn it, who dared to hurt my people!"

Just then, an angry roar burst forth from not far away.

A man clad in armor, his face full of anger, walked over from a distance.

Upon seeing the logistics soldiers lying on the ground wailing, he flew into an even greater rage.

He had only just left, and the newly assigned logistics soldiers were already beaten—some even had their shoulders hacked off halfway, a bloody mess!

If he had returned any later, these logistics soldiers would likely have died at the enemy's hands!

The veteran logistics soldier Li Xuan glanced over the still-standing Gu Han and the others.

Although they also wore logistics soldier uniforms, they were all strangers.

Adding the azure wolf corpse on the ground, he quickly figured out the whole story.

They must have wanted to seize the other logistics soldiers' game, which is why they attacked so ruthlessly!

"How dare they strike at their comrades without mercy!"

"Let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your squad leader!"

Li Xuan let out an angry shout, pushed off with his right foot, and rushed rapidly toward Gu Han and the others.

His speed was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye he was about to rush up to Gu Han.

Even Gu Han's pupils suddenly contracted.

After absorbing the speed of the blue wolf, his speed had already surpassed the limit of a first-stage martial apprentice.

Now his speed had reached 23 points, not much inferior to an ordinary second-stage martial apprentice.

But he still felt a sense of oppression from the opponent.

He feared that even his speed might not be stronger than the opponent's!

This old logistics soldier Li Xuan was probably not just long-lived without increasing his strength.

"You guys, withdraw quickly and go find Senior Li Lei."

After saying that, Gu Han plunged his blade into the ground, kicked up dirt and splashed it toward the opponent's face.

Ma Tie and the others exchanged a glance, then immediately said anxiously,

"Okay, Gu Han, hold on; I will definitely find Senior Li Lei as soon as possible."

The four of them knew they couldn't help, and hurriedly left.

Li Xuan's expression changed slightly; he raised his arm to block Gu Han's mud-sand attack.

But when he opened his eyes again, Gu Han had already vanished without a trace.

"Damn it, I want to see where you can hide!"

Li Xuan's gaze turned gloomy as he quickly began searching in the mountain forest.

He had been a logistics soldier for many years, and even after his conscript service ended he did not leave.

These years he has been hunting in the mountain forest, extremely skilled at tracking prey based on tiny traces!

Not long after, Li Xuan's eyes lit up.

"I found you."
