Arrival at Green Mountain City

At this moment, countless thoughts raced through Chen Chuan's mind, and his body trembled. Even though he had killed countless people, now that death was approaching him, fear inevitably spread.

"Good sir, as long as you spare me, my brother can give you anything. Also, there's quite a bit of silver in my mountain stronghold. I'll go get it for you right away!"

Seeing Chen Xuan's silence, Chen Chuan quickly continued speaking.

However, just as his words fell at this moment.

"Pfft!"

A clear sound rang out. Chen Chuan's pupils widened, and an arrow instantly pierced through his entire head from between his eyebrows.

His body also fell powerlessly to the ground.

Even lying on the ground, his eyes were wide open.

Clearly, even at the moment of death, this person hadn't figured out why Chen Xuan had acted directly without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Chen Xuan glanced at the fallen corpse, ignoring it. He directly pulled out the arrows from Chen Chuan and the others, then stepped into the room.

However, the moment he stepped into the room, his brows couldn't help but twitch.

Because at this moment, there were three female corpses lying haphazardly in the room. Their eyes were wide open, and their lower bodies were completely blurred. What had happened was almost self-evident.

"These beasts!"

Even Chen Xuan couldn't help but curse inwardly.

His figure hesitated slightly, but in the end, he carried the three female corpses outside and buried them.

Only then did he begin to search the entire mountain stronghold.

It wasn't until half an hour later that his figure slowly walked out of the mountain stronghold. At this moment, he had an extra, not-so-small bundle on him, containing the silver coins he had found in the mountain stronghold.

Behind him, a raging fire had started.

Accompanied by the fire, Chen Xuan disappeared into the mountain path.

On the mountain path in the distance.

"Chunhua, is that place on fire?"

Chen Er Shan looked into the distance with some doubt, subconsciously asking Zhang Chunhua.

"On fire?"

Zhang Chunhua was startled for a moment, and her gaze also looked over.

She happened to see the thick smoke rising from there.

"What's going on? It shouldn't catch fire in this weather!"

"Er Gou shouldn't have gone there, right? Why hasn't he come back yet!"

Chen Er Shan muttered to himself, a little worried.

His words immediately made Zhang Chunhua also a little worried.

However, fortunately, while they were worrying, Chen Xuan had already walked out of the jungle in the distance, carrying two mountain chickens.

"Second Uncle, Mom, there aren't many prey on this mountain. I only caught two mountain chickens!"

Chen Xuan spoke with a hint of embarrassment.

"It's alright. It looks like there's a fire over there. It's a good thing you're back, otherwise your mother and I would have been worried."

Chen Er Shan said with a smile.

Zhang Chunhua, however, couldn't help but glance at Chen Xuan's bundle, feeling a bit puzzled. In her memory, her son had only brought a bow and arrows, so how did he have another bundle? But in the end, she didn't say anything.

"It should be a mountain fire. Second Uncle, Mom, let's hurry and make something to eat, otherwise we won't be able to reach Green Mountain City before tomorrow evening."

Chen Xuan glanced behind him and spoke casually, his words urging them to hurry.

"Okay!"

"Wait a moment, I'll go get it right away!"

Zhang Chunhua nodded, then took the mountain chickens from Chen Xuan's hand and started preparing.

Chen Xuan went to where his flatbed cart was, and threw his bundle onto it, placing it right next to the bundle he had brought earlier.

As the bundle was put down, there was a crisp thud.

But at this moment, Chen Xuan didn't pay attention to these sounds.

His eyes were somewhat lost in thought.

Killing.

Although he had long anticipated that this day would come.

He hadn't expected it to come so soon.

And today, he had killed dozens of people in one go.

In Small River Village, he had shot and killed Chen San Ye and his seven men. In the mountain stronghold this time, he had directly killed twenty-five people.

It could be said that in just this one morning, he had killed over thirty people.

This was something he could never have imagined in his previous life.

But in this world, this might just be the beginning.

The danger level of this world was even greater than he had imagined.

It wasn't just those strange existences, but more importantly, human hearts.

Even if he had some interaction with Chen San Ye, it was just a simple exchange of goods for silver coins. There were no actual conflicts of interest.

But the other party wanted to rob and kill him simply because he was leaving.

If he hadn't hunted anything, they would have even threatened him with his family. At that time, if he hunted a tiger or leopard, he would die, and if he didn't hunt anything, he would also die.

Even the money from the previous transaction, the other party had never intended to truly give it to him.

Such human hearts were almost impossible to see in his previous life.

But in this world, even in a relatively simple and honest countryside, he had already encountered it.

His gaze looked into the distance.

At this moment, it was as if he could see Green Mountain City tens of kilometers away.

If Small River Village was like this, what kind of scene would Green Mountain City be?

Perhaps, no, it would only be more treacherous there.

A bigger stage, more complex human hearts, and a more intricate sphere of influence made Green Mountain City infinitely more dangerous than Small River Village.

Moreover, and more importantly, in Small River Village, he had Skin Refining cultivation and perfected Archery, which could ensure his safety. But upon entering Green Mountain City, the Skin Refining realm was almost negligible, and perfected Archery wouldn't be as useful as he imagined. His only advantage currently was his Conceptual Ability.

Once he stepped into Green Mountain City, it would be no different from starting from scratch for him.

His gaze couldn't help but glance at his busy mother, and then at his cheerful younger brother. The slight ripple in his heart was suppressed.

Having reached this point, he couldn't retreat.

He wouldn't be willing to stay in Small River Village forever.

Possessing a broader world and more possibilities, even if he could use his Conceptual Ability to survive until the end of time, he still wanted to see it.

To see this world, to see all of this.

"From now on, I'll rely on you!"

He spoke softly, his gaze finally converging on the list.

And the list, intertwined with his thoughts, began to flicker again.

Target: Resolve the journey to Green Mountain City and settle down (To be determined)

Setting complete

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

Text flickered, and lines of the list appeared.

Meanwhile, Zhang Chunhua quickly finished making lunch.

The rich aroma of chicken soup slowly drifted from a distance, bringing with it a sense of mouth-watering anticipation.

"Mountain Chicken, Mountain Chicken!"

"Shitou loves eating Mountain Chicken the most!"

Xiao Shitou's excited voice spoke, his figure bouncing happily.

"Er Gou, come eat quickly, or it'll get cold later!"

His mother Zhang Chunhua's voice also called out.

"Alright, coming right away!"

Chen Xuan responded with a smile, the thoughts in his mind suppressed, and he strode over.

The four of them sat around the stove and began to enjoy the meal.

Half an hour later, after eating and tidying up, the group set off again.

A new week, a new story, a new journey. The world view and system will gradually unfold. I hope everyone can continue to support me. Thank you.
