The three people in front of him.
They were likely drawn by the smoke from the barbecue.
Although the three were all of Asian descent, their aggressive gazes made Chen Ye quite displeased.
Chen Ye and Tang Zichen weren't flustered at all by being discovered.
In fact.
They had encountered similar situations several times in the past five days.
The difference was.
This time, Chen Ye had fish in his hand.
Meat was extremely scarce in the Secret Realm, so he figured these people might try to fight for it.
Chen Ye was ready to watch the show.
He believed that with Tang Zichen's strength, she could easily handle these weaklings without him needing to intervene.
It had to be said, Tatsumaki's talent was indeed very strong.
If Chen Ye wasn't counted.
Among the new students, Tang Zichen's combat power was definitely among the top. As long as she used her telekinesis to control the darts, no one could get close to her.
If they couldn't even get close, how could they fight?
"#@¥%&*……"
At this moment.
One person walked out from the three opposite them and spoke in a foreign tongue.
Even the scholar Tang Zichen couldn't understand it.
Chen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with cold light.
Although he didn't understand the meaning, he knew what language it was.
It was a race he had always detested.
More annoying than n*****s!
He hadn't expected to encounter such trash in the Secret Realm.
Seeing that Chen Ye and Tang Zichen didn't react after his first sentence, the person opposite them knew they weren't from his group.
So, he switched languages.
"Hello, are you from Xia Country?"
This time, he spoke Chinese, although it was a bit awkward.
Chen Ye and Tang Zichen remained silent, watching calmly, wanting to see what these small fries would say.
Although the history of Earth was different from that of Blue Star, a hundred years ago, during Xia Country's internal strife, people of that race had also taken the opportunity to invade Xia Country.
Therefore, Tang Zichen also had no good feelings towards the people in front of her.
After failing to get a response twice, the person speaking opposite them became somewhat annoyed, but he still suppressed his anger and said patiently, "Please don't misunderstand, we just want to exchange food with you."
As he spoke, he took out a few wild fruits and pointed at the two remaining fish by the campfire, saying, "Can you exchange your remaining fish for us?"
A few wild fruits for fish?
Are you kidding me?
Chen Ye couldn't be bothered to waste words with the man and directly shouted, "Scram!"
The three people opposite them seemed to understand the meaning of "scram," and they all became angry upon hearing it.
"Baka yarou!"
One of the burly men immediately prepared to make a move.
Chen Ye immediately felt a sense of anticipation...
If the other side dared to make the first move, he would definitely beat these three into a pulp!
Tang Zichen also didn't waste any words, took out her darts, and a green light began to emanate from her body.
She looked ready for a fight.
The three people opposite them were greatly surprised to see the green light on Tang Zichen.
This was because the talent ability of S2 was globally renowned.
Except for Ms. Qin from Xia Country, people from other countries had also successfully awakened it, eventually becoming prominent figures.
Therefore, most people knew that emitting a green light was the mark of an S2 talent ability user!
The burly man immediately stopped all his movements and exchanged glances with his companions.
Chen Ye, however, frowned again.
He wasn't sure if he was seeing things wrong, but he vaguely felt that the expressions of these three people were a bit off.
Their gazes towards Tang Zichen held not only surprise, but also a hint of... delight?
"You must be the renowned Miss Tang Zichen!"
The one who spoke earlier said again, "Miss Tang Zichen, please don't misunderstand. I apologize on behalf of my companion for his rudeness."
As his words fell, this person deeply bowed ninety degrees towards Tang Zichen in apology.
It was very much in their national style.
When he straightened up again, he said, "Since you two don't wish to trade food with us, we won't disturb you any further!"
With that, the person led his companions and voluntarily retreated, leaving the area.
After these few people had walked far away.
Chen Ye chuckled and said, "Class monitor, it seems your reputation is truly immense! Even people from Japan know about you."
Tang Zichen didn't reply, instead asking Chen Ye, "Where are we going next?"
It seemed the young lady hadn't taken the three people from earlier to heart.
Chen Ye said, "Since there are fish in this river, and with your abilities, Class monitor, catching fish will be relatively easy. Let's follow the riverbank upstream and see if we encounter any Jumping Corpses along the way."
Tang Zichen strongly agreed with Chen Ye's suggestion.
She also wanted to stay by the river.
Not only could it solve their food problem, but she could also wash herself and maintain a basic level of cleanliness.
After making their decision, the two followed the river upstream.
And not long after they left.
The three people who had just departed returned, coming back to the original spot.
One of them checked the footprints by the roadside and said, "They went upstream."
The burly man's face contorted, and he actually took out a handgun. "We can quietly follow them. With our strength, plus this gun, if we ambush them, we can definitely kill both of them!"
The young man who had bowed and apologized to Tang Zichen merely pondered upon hearing this, remaining silent.
Among the three, this young man was clearly the leader.
Since he hadn't expressed his opinion, the remaining two dared not act rashly.
A moment later.
The young man finally spoke, "Send a signal to notify the others!"
Upon hearing this, the burly man became anxious. "Inoue-kun, we can completely claim the bounty ourselves. Why should we share it with others for free?"
"Idiot! Is the bounty the only thing in your eyes?"
The young man, his face filled with anger, berated him, "Is the Empire's plan more important? Or is your bounty more important?"
"What if your assassination fails, and that woman becomes wary and chooses to hide?"
"For the Empire's annexation plan to succeed, we absolutely cannot allow a second Ms. Qin to appear!"
"Therefore, this assassination plan must succeed!"
"If we fail, we will all have to commit seppuku to atone, do you understand?"
Seeing the young man's anger, the burly man dared not retort and immediately nodded heavily. "Yes! Inoue-kun, I understand!"
As his words fell.
The burly man took out a device resembling a walkie-talkie and pressed the red button.
Instantly, a red dot appeared on the device's small screen, and this red dot was continuously emitting signal waves, spreading out in all directions...
Before long, many other red dots began to flash around the small screen.
Each red dot represented at least one team that had received the signal and was heading towards their location.
"Inoue-kun, what do we do now?"
"Follow them, but don't get too close. That woman's spirit is likely very high, which means her hearing is very sensitive."
