Bi Fang Sigil, Showing Its First Edge!

Tiangong-055 was a relatively common standard-issue pistol after the Great Cataclysm. Incorporating psionic technology developed after the catastrophe, it not only possessed tremendous killing power, but also exceptional stability, safety, and capacity.

Inspector Liu's gaze was sharp as his Psionic Pistol fired without pause!

Bang bang—!

Psionic energy roared through the forest. The faster the attackers charged, the faster they died. Before long, only a few corpses remained on the ground.

"...Haha!"

The blue-haired youth's legs trembled as he laughed somewhat exaggeratedly. "What ancient savages? In the face of modern firepower, they're just living targets!"

"Good thing we have Lord Liu. Having a pistol really is wonderful."

"Though we're all ordinary people, with Lord Liu here, reaching the evacuation point safely won't be a problem!"

"Look, everyone! These savages look exactly like the people who appeared near us before!"

The crowd discussed animatedly, all noticing the familiar feeling those burly men in beast-hide clothing gave off.

Though their appearances differed, their weapons and attire were essentially the same.

Inspector Liu had someone help the fat chef up, but the latter had already fainted.

After hesitating, he turned back and asked, "This happened too suddenly. I didn't bring any hemostatic injections with me. Did any of you bring healing items, or does anyone have a healing talent?"

The crowd looked at one another, but no one spoke.

"Looks like..."

Inspector Liu shook his head.

Just then,

The bodies of those dead burly men in beast-hide clothing began to glow!

"Just like before! There are Bronze Tokens!" Bai Xiaotian's eyes lit up, his clear voice ringing through the forest.

Wu Yu and the others also looked over.

Sure enough, the burly men dissolved in the light, and cards appeared where their bodies had vanished.

The number varied. There was one card in one spot, and three in another.

"So many cards?"

"No! These aren't Bronze Tokens!"

Inspector Liu, who had gone over first, frowned, revealing a startled expression.

The others hurried over. Once they drew near, panels popped up from the cards.

[Beast Meat]

Type: Consumable.

Quality: White.

Description: Five pounds of beast meat, fresh and edible.

[Unpleasant Meat Chunk]

Type: Consumable.

Quality: White.

Description: Five pounds of Unpleasant Meat Chunk, with bones.

[Vitality Pill]

Type: Consumable.

Quality: Green.

Description: A Pill commonly used by mortals. Consuming it increases vitality.

There were eight cards in total: three [Beast Meat], three [Unpleasant Meat Chunk], and two [Vitality Pill]!

Inspector Liu picked up a [Vitality Pill]. With a thought, the card dissolved into light in his palm, replaced by a pill the size of a bullet.

The moment it appeared, everyone present smelled a fragrance. Their entire bodies grew hot at once, and their expressions changed.

"This thing... could it be something used by Transcendent Martial Artists, like [Nine Dragons' Might]?"

Blue Hair swallowed, a trace of greed flashing through his eyes.

"I'm not sure."

Inspector Liu quickly put the pill away and spoke solemnly. "Everyone, I'll put these spoils away for now, and we'll divide them later. How about it?"

"We wouldn't dare. Lord Liu, just take them!"

As though a basin of cold water had been poured over him, Blue Hair's gaze flickered as he said this.

The others also chimed in agreement.

Wu Yu took a careful look and understood.

This [Vitality Pill] was green-quality. It was probably similar to [High-Grade Spirit Wine] and [Exquisite Food].

He had two hundred portions of consumables of this quality in his inventory!

Inspector Liu threw away the [Unpleasant Meat Chunk], keeping only the [Beast Meat] and [Vitality Pill].

"Alright, we..."

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly frowned.

"Who's there!?"

He drew his pistol and looked into the distance.

From deep within the forest, footsteps rang out continuously.

One burly man after another in beast-hide clothing rushed out. Most carried machetes, while some held ancient bows.

At a rough count, there were at least a hundred of them!

And more and more kept arriving!

"Those few just now were scouts!"

Liu Yu gave a warning, then decisively turned and ran.

Cold sweat broke out on Inspector Liu's forehead as he shouted, "Run!"

The moment his words fell, he too chose a direction and fled.

"Lord Liu! Wait for me, wait for me!"

The middle-aged woman jumped in fright, letting go of the fat chef and rushing after him in great strides.

Yu Tiezhu was also dumbfounded. Gritting his teeth, he let go as well and chased after them.

Not far away, a two-meter-tall brute shouted furiously several times.

The archers immediately nocked their arrows, drew their bows, and fired!

The burly men in beast-hide clothing wielding blades also scattered in pursuit, clearly intending to surround them.

Meanwhile, Wu Yu had already charged into the forest.

He did not head toward the wasteland. Instead, he planned to use the forest's complicated terrain to escape.

At that moment, he clenched a small stone tightly in his hand, his heart pounding.

Relying on the steamed bun he had just eaten, Wu Yu sprinted wildly for over ten minutes before finally stopping.

Turning back, he rested while scanning the distance.

The terrain here was higher, allowing Wu Yu to see figures in the distance.

"The archers are out of sight, and there are only a few machete-wielding enemies chasing after me!"

He smiled, took out a pastry, and waited while eating.

Before long, several burly men with machetes arrived nearby.

"Guwa—!"

Seeing Wu Yu actually eating, the burly men grinned savagely and charged over with roars.

Wu Yu estimated the distance, then fiercely hurled the small stone in his hand!

Whoosh—!

The small stone flew out, smashing toward the burly men.

Seeing that it was only a little rock, the burly men wore savage grins and did not bother dodging.

Then...

Boom—!!!

Explosion! Explosion!

Flames surged up as a deafening blast spread through the forest.

Wu Yu shuddered in fright as well. When he looked again, the flames had already dissipated rapidly.

Only a huge crater remained... along with some charred limbs that could no longer be recognized.

"This power..."

Wu Yu's expression was complicated. He took a deep breath, and the tension in his heart immediately lessened considerably.

As long as he stored enough carriers for [Bi Fang Sigil], he would not fear however many enemies came!

"I can't let my guard down. What if the enemy has some divine archer who shoots me dead with one arrow? Besides, if there are too many archers, even stray arrows are extremely dangerous!"

He thought calmly, then got up and walked over.

The mangled limbs and chunks of flesh had already dissolved into light. Three cards appeared before him.

Wu Yu looked carefully. They were two [Unpleasant Meat Chunk] cards and one [Vitality Pill].

"Come to think of it... could these enemies be from the Evil Tiger Stronghold?"

"Beast-hide clothing and ancient weapons—they really do fit the image of bandits."

"It's just that their numbers seem a little excessive, don't they? This counts as a Newcomer Secret Realm?"

Wu Yu was somewhat speechless.

If he were a Transcendent lifeform, whether a martial artist, an immortal cultivator, or a modified human, he would dare charge straight into the enemy's lair alone!

"Luckily, my talent isn't bad."

Wu Yu smiled and raised his head.

Not far away, several burly men with machetes approached.

The burly men smiled when they saw Wu Yu, and Wu Yu smiled too.

Boom—!!!

Severed limbs flew everywhere, and half a skull landed before Wu Yu.

He kicked it away. After the remains dissolved into light, he skillfully picked up the cards that emerged.
