Fighting, What Were You Expecting?

The three people before them.

Had probably been drawn over by the smoke from the barbecue.

Though all three were Asian, the aggression in their eyes made Chen Ye dislike them immensely.

Upon being discovered, neither Chen Ye nor Tang Zichen panicked in the slightest.

In fact.

The two of them had encountered similar situations several times over the past five days.

The difference was.

This time, Chen Ye had fish in his hands.

And meat was extremely scarce within the secret realm, so these people might try to seize it.

Chen Ye was already prepared to watch the show.

He believed that, with Tang Zichen's strength, she could easily deal with these minor nobodies without him needing to step in.

It had to be said that Tatsumaki's talent ability was truly powerful.

If Chen Ye was excluded.

Tang Zichen's combat power definitely ranked among the best among the freshmen. As long as she controlled her darts with telekinesis, no one could get close to her.

If they could not even get close, how were they supposed to fight?

"#@￥%&*..."

At this moment.

One of the three people opposite them stepped forward and spoke a string of gibberish.

Even Tang Zichen, the top student, could not understand it.

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold gleam flashing within them.

Although he did not understand what it meant either, he knew what race's language it was.

It was a race he had once deeply despised.

Even more detestable than Blacks!

He had not expected to encounter this kind of trash in the secret realm.

When the man saw that Chen Ye and Tang Zichen had not reacted after he spoke, he knew they were not his countrymen.

So, he switched languages.

"Ni hao, are you Xia Country people?"

This time, he was speaking Chinese, though his accent was rather awkward.

Neither Chen Ye nor Tang Zichen spoke. They merely watched indifferently, wanting to see what nonsense these minor nobodies could come up with.

Although Blue Star's history differed somewhat from Earth's, a hundred years ago, when Xia Country was in the midst of civil unrest, people of that race had also taken the opportunity to invade Xia Country.

Therefore, Tang Zichen had no favorable impression of the people before her either.

After asking twice in a row without receiving any response, the speaker became somewhat angry. Still, he suppressed his temper and said patiently, "Please do not misunderstand. We only wish to exchange food with you."

As he spoke, the other party took out several wild fruits, pointed at the two fish remaining beside the fire, and said, "Could you trade your remaining fish to us?"

A few wild fruits in exchange for fish?

What the fuck were you dreaming about?

Chen Ye could not be bothered to waste words on him and directly snapped, "Get lost!"

The three people opposite them seemed to understand the meaning of "get lost," and all flew into a rage.

"Baka yarou!"

One of the burly men immediately wanted to make a move.

Chen Ye instantly felt a little expectant...

If they dared to attack first, he would absolutely smash all three of them into pulp!

Tang Zichen did not waste any words either. She took out her darts, and green light began to emanate from her body.

She was clearly preparing for battle.

When the three people opposite them saw the green light on Tang Zichen's body, they were all greatly startled.

After all, S2 talent abilities were famous worldwide.

Aside from Ms. Qin of Xia Country, people from other nations had also successfully bonded with them, and nearly all had ultimately become major figures.

Therefore, most people knew that emitting green light was the hallmark of an S2 talent user!

The burly man immediately stopped all movement and exchanged looks with his companions.

Chen Ye, however, frowned again.

He did not know whether he was mistaken, but he vaguely felt that the expressions of the three people were somewhat off.

Besides surprise, their gazes toward Tang Zichen also carried a hint of... delight?

"You must be the renowned Miss Tang Zichen!"

The man who had spoken earlier said again, "Tang Zichen-san, please do not misunderstand. I apologize to you on behalf of my companion for his rudeness."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man deeply bent toward Tang Zichen, bowing at ninety degrees in apology.

It was very much in keeping with their national style.

After straightening up again, he said, "Since you two do not wish to exchange food with us, we will not disturb you any longer!"

With that, he led his companions away of their own accord, leaving the area.

After those people had gone far away.

Chen Ye smiled and said, "Class monitor, it seems your reputation really is huge! Even the Japanese know about you."

Tang Zichen did not respond. Instead, she asked Chen Ye, "Where are we going next?"

It seemed the girl had not taken those three people to heart at all.

Chen Ye said, "Since there are fish in this river, and with your ability, class monitor, catching fish is fairly easy, we should follow the riverbank upstream and see whether there are any Jumping Corpses along the way."

Tang Zichen greatly approved of Chen Ye's suggestion.

She also wanted to stay by the river.

Not only could they solve their food problem, but they could also wash themselves and maintain at least a basic level of cleanliness.

Having made their decision, the two followed the river upstream.

Not long after they left.

The three people who had just departed returned, coming back to the same place.

One of them examined the footprints by the roadside and said, "They went upstream."

The burly man revealed a savage expression and actually took out a handgun. "We can quietly follow them. With our strength, plus this gun, if we launch a sneak attack, we can definitely kill both of them!"

The young man who had previously bowed and apologized to Tang Zichen merely pondered upon hearing this, without expressing his stance.

Among the three, this young man was clearly the leader.

Without him stating his position, the other two did not dare act on their own.

A moment later.

The young man finally spoke. "Send the signal. Notify the others!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man became anxious. "Inoue-kun, we can enjoy the bounty all to ourselves. Why should we give it to the others for nothing?"

"Idiot! Is the bounty the only thing you see?"

With anger on his face, the young man scolded, "Is the Empire's plan more important, or is your bounty more important?"

"What if your assassination fails, that woman becomes wary, and chooses to hide?"

"If the Empire's annexation plan is to succeed, we absolutely cannot allow them to produce another Ms. Qin!"

"So this ambush plan can only succeed!"

"If it fails, we will all have to commit seppuku to atone for our crimes. Do you understand?"

Seeing the young man grow angry, the burly man did not dare argue at all and immediately nodded heavily. "Hai! Inoue-kun, I understand!"

Once he finished speaking.

The burly man took out a device resembling a walkie-talkie, then pressed its red button.

Immediately, a red dot appeared on the device's small screen. The dot continuously emitted signal waves that spread in all directions...

Before long, many other flashing red dots appeared around it on the small screen.

Every red dot represented at least one team that had received the signal and was heading this way.

"Inoue-kun, what do we do now?"

"Follow them, but do not get too close. That woman's mental attribute should be very high, which means her hearing is very sharp."
