As everyone chatted idly in the group, half an hour quickly passed, and the three newcomers transmigrated one after another.

Soon, a group notification arrived.

"Ding, group member Wu Hao (68) has died."

Wang Ping (66): "Good heavens, he died just like that. Though he didn't die as fast as Chen Kang, he wasn't much slower, was he?"

Fang Yun (3): Another unlucky bastard. So pitiful. He was probably like Chen Kang and didn't even have time to draw his Golden Finger.

Zhang Hu (5): "Wonder how he died this time. We'll wait for the Death Replay."

Liu Mei (15): "Looks like it'll still take a long time before the group reaches ten members."

"Ding, group member Zeng Peng (69) has died."

Everyone: "???"

Wang Ping and the others wore strange expressions.

Were this batch of newcomers really that miserable? Two had died in succession.

Could it be that they would all be wiped out this time?

Wu Jun (20): "Too miserable, truly too miserable. I wonder whether the last lone sapling can survive."

Fang Yun (3): "Hard to say. And not dying the instant you arrive is only the beginning."

Zhang Jun (70): "."

Wang Ping (66): "Eh, the newcomer has surfaced. What's your situation over there right now?"

Zhang Jun (70): "I really didn't expect two people to die already. My scalp is tingling."

Zhang Hu (5): "Alright, alright, we know your scalp is tingling. Hurry up and answer the question so we can have a laugh—oh, no, so we can give you some advice."

Zhang Jun (70): "."

Zhang Jun (70): "I don't know whether my luck is good or bad. I transmigrated into an empty room. But when I looked around, the downstairs area and the corridors were fucking full of zombies."

Fang Yun (3): "Be content, you. Go check the Death Replay section in the group files, and you'll see just how lucky you are. There was someone named Chen Kang among the newcomers from the previous batch. The moment he landed, he appeared in front of a mutated zombie and got eaten like a twisted fried dough stick."

Liu Mei (15): "Since you didn't die the moment you arrived, you're already luckier than many people. I suggest you don't make any noise. Hurry up, find somewhere to hide, and draw your Golden Finger."

Zhang Hu (5): "Young man, you're already very lucky. Don't be greedy."

Zhang Jun did not say anything. He silently went to watch Chen Kang's Death Replay video, then fell silent.

Alright, compared to that unlucky bastard Chen Kang, he truly was quite fortunate.

After that, he began drawing his own Golden Finger.

At this moment, the group system's voice rang out once more.

"Ding, group member Wu Hao's (68) Death Replay has been recorded. Group members may click to view it and learn from it."

"Ding, group member Zeng Peng's (69) Death Replay has been recorded. Group members may click to view it and learn from it."

Seeing the notification, Wang Ping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly checked it.

Then, he learned the causes of Wu Hao and Zeng Peng's deaths.

Those two had suffered terribly as well.

One had transmigrated into midair and fallen to his death.

The other had transmigrated onto the ground, but tragically landed in a Poisonous Gas Forest filled with corrosive fumes and died soon afterward.

"I really am lucky."

After learning how the two had died, Wang Ping could only sigh once again.

Transmigration required caution. The risks were simply too great.

Fang Yun (3): "Death by falling has happened before, but Zeng Peng transmigrating into a Poisonous Gas Forest has added a new way to die."

Liu Mei (15): "Very pitiful."

Wu Jun (20): "To be fair, I once again feel just how lucky I am."

Zhang Hu (5): "Oh, you're very lucky, except when you drew your Golden Finger. Laugh.Jpg."

Wu Jun (20): "Fuck."

Fang Yun (3): "Alright, stop teasing Xiao Junzi. By the way, what Golden Finger did the newcomer get? Hurry up and tell us, let us broaden our horizons."

Zhang Jun (70): "Don't want to say."

Fang Yun (3): "Quite guarded, aren't you? A little unsociable."

Liu Mei (15): "Whether he says it or not is his freedom. Cai Ge didn't say either, so don't morally kidnap him."

Fang Yun (3): "Sis, I was only joking. Eye Roll.Jpg."

"Big Brother Wang Ping, the Hunting Team has returned. I heard they had a huge haul this time. Let's go take a look."

While Wang Ping was chatting in the group, Chi Feng's voice sounded beside his ear, pulling him back to his senses.

"Mm." Wang Ping smiled and followed Chi Feng toward the village entrance.

By the time the two arrived, they saw Chi Hu and the others excitedly telling the Village Chief something.

When he saw Wang Ping and Chi Feng approaching, Chi Hu strode over with a hearty laugh, patted Wang Ping on the shoulder, and said, "You really weren't wrong, kid. There were indeed two stalks of Essence Nurturing Grass, and two Gale Leopards as well. If not for your information, we would definitely have suffered grievous casualties."

"This time, thank you."

Chi Tie, the captain of the Hunting Team, also spoke earnestly.

Although he possessed Innate Realm Sixth Level cultivation, the Gale Leopard was a Sixth-Level Demon Beast, its strength comparable to an Innate Realm Seventh Level human martial artist. Its ferocious reputation was truly formidable.

If they faced one Gale Leopard, they could still rely on their numerical advantage to contend with it.

If they faced two Gale Leopards at the same time, they might very well be wiped out.

Therefore, Wang Ping's information had saved their Hunting Team and saved the village.

"No need to thank me. You took me in, so this is what I should do." Wang Ping said with a smile.

At the side, the Village Chief looked at Wang Ping with a smile on his aged face and said, "Tomorrow, I will lead people to kill those two Gale Leopards and harvest the Essence Nurturing Grass. When the time comes, I will give you one stalk to strengthen your foundation and nourish your vital energy. Only then will you have hope of succeeding in martial arts."

"Many thanks, Village Chief." Wang Ping cupped his hands in thanks.

"However, Village Chief, does the village have any Spirit Stones?" Wang Ping could not help asking.

"Though Chi Village has withdrawn from the world, and Spirit Stones are considered precious, the village still has some. But what do you need Spirit Stones for?"

The Village Chief asked doubtfully.

Chi Village had established itself within Blackwind Forest and hidden from the world in order to avoid its enemies.

However, things such as clothing, food, medicine, and weapons still needed to be purchased outside.

Therefore, they naturally possessed Spirit Stones, the sort of things one could consume to aid cultivation.

"I have some use for them. I wonder if the Village Chief could lend me some." Wang Ping said.

"You have rendered a great service to Chi Village. If you need some Spirit Stones yet still have to borrow them, that would be utterly petty of me."

The Village Chief shook his head and said.

"Here are ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Take them first. If they are not enough, simply tell me again." The Village Chief gently brushed the Black Ring on his index finger, and ten crystalline Spirit Stones appeared in the air.
