"Boss, you must let Fatty make an appearance this time!"
At this moment, Fatty stepped forward first, holding a shovel, a confident smile on his face.
Fatty was a powerful figure at the third level of physical cultivation; if he couldn't handle a bunch of ordinary people, he'd be useless.
Zhang Tian nodded, not taking out his weapon.
After all, most people in this village were ordinary. Zhang Tian didn't need to lift a finger to deal with them.
"What's that noise!"
"Not good! Those outsiders must have escaped. Go check!"
Inside, several men who were drinking changed their expressions.
Five or six of them grabbed their axes and headed outside.
As the commotion grew, it directly affected the entire village.
The whole village was suddenly lit up.
And the villagers were also woken up.
This was deep in the mountains, and there was nothing else around. The sound of something being smashed would be amplified, making it easy to be discovered.
The light from the torches illuminated the entire village.
Groups of burly men, carrying weapons, began to search.
At this moment, outside a house, the girl and Xiao Guang's faces looked grim.
"It's over. If I'm discovered, my brother and father will definitely ground me."
The girl, Kong Que, had a troubled expression and was a bit anxious.
"Miss, you should go. You don't need to worry about us anymore," Professor Li said, his hoarse voice coming out. He could see that the girl in front of him wasn't a bad person.
Kong Que looked at everyone, biting her lip.
Just as she hesitated, suddenly, shouts came from not far away.
"Tch, a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals! Fatty will stand here and let you hit me, if you dare!"
"Come here!"
The voice sounded irritating and extremely provoking.
Kong Que narrowed her eyes.
Good heavens, did someone else enter the village? And so audacious.
"It seems someone is blocking them for us. Let's go quickly."
Kong Que said, a hint of joy in her heart.
She hadn't expected such a coincidence, with someone coming to take the blame. This way, these people could escape smoothly.
However, Kong Que was curious about who these newcomers were.
"This voice sounds so familiar."
Xiao Guang listened to the voice in the distance, looking a bit dazed.
He felt like he had heard this voice somewhere before.
"Hurry!"
Kong Que shouted, and Xiao Guang didn't think further. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused elsewhere, they could escape as quickly as possible.
As for Zhang Tian.
Fatty and Zhang Tian and a few others were already surrounded by countless people.
These people were dressed in colorful cloth robes, their hair tied in braids. The man leading them looked the fiercest.
He was easily two meters tall, and his build was both fat and large, making him look like a small giant.
A group of people, armed with axes, arrows, and other weapons, all stared at Fatty.
"Come here!"
Fatty raised his middle finger.
He even made a lewd face.
He looked so obnoxious.
"This hatred is going to skyrocket," Zhang Tian thought, feeling a bit speechless at Fatty.
Never claim he was his fourth brother when going out.
"Brother A'da, he's insulting us!"
A young man holding a cleaver pointed at Fatty.
"Hmph, seeking death! This is our territory, and you dare to cause trouble here. Chop off one of his arms!" A'da said coldly.
At his command, the next moment, a group of people charged at Fatty with their weapons.
"Bang bang bang."
Immediately after, the sound of metal striking stone could be heard all around.
Crisp and pleasant.
And Fatty, this scoundrel, had a smug smile on his face.
He even took the liberty of stretching.
Looking at the onslaught of attacks, Fatty sighed softly.
"Use some strength!"
"Are you guys not eating? Can you even fight?"
Fatty taunted, entering his provocation mode.
"Whoosh whoosh."
Sounds of air being cut through.
The men, provoked by Fatty's taunts, became even more energetic, as if injected with chicken blood.
However, despite this, Fatty remained completely unharmed.
Not even a single red mark on his body.
This truly stunned the attackers.
"Monster! It's a monster!"
Someone shouted, and almost simultaneously, the attackers retreated.
Their faces were as if they had seen a ghost, their expressions incredibly contorted.
Zhang Tian even saw their hands trembling.
Clearly, they were terrified!
Even A'da on the side was stunned.
His pupils dilated, and he looked at Fatty with a ghostly gaze.
"Are you man or ghost!"
A'da's face showed panic.
He was only in his twenties and hadn't seen much of the world.
Seeing someone like Fatty, who was hacked hundreds of times yet remained unharmed, was the first time he had witnessed such a thing.
"Tch, talk more if you can speak."
"Fatty is naturally human, how could he be a ghost? If I were a ghost, I'd be a fierce ghost!"
Fatty snorted coldly, looking at the group of people in front of him with indifference.
"Why are you here in our village, and why did you sneak in in the middle of the night? What are your intentions?" A'da suppressed his anger and asked coldly.
"Hey, young man, don't get agitated. You're not old, but your voice is quite loud."
"If we weren't worried you wouldn't let us in during the day, we wouldn't have come at night. Now that we're discovered, we might as well lay our cards on the table."
"No more pretending! We've got our eyes on your sacred land!" Fatty declared with great flair.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was thrown into a panic.
They began to discuss among themselves.
"What, they came for our sacred land? No, we can't let them in!"
"But this Fatty is so powerful, we can't possibly defeat him."
"Call the shaman, let her handle it!"
"No, the elder only comes out for special occasions."
"How about we call the tribal chief?"
A moment of chaos ensued as the villagers argued.
A'da, upon hearing someone mention the tribal chief, grew impatient. In his opinion, he would be the chief in the future, so why did they always resort to others when encountering danger?
"I can take you to the sacred land."
Suddenly, A'da's voice cut through the commotion.
Everyone was stunned.
Even Zhang Tian raised his head slightly.
What was A'da trying to pull off?
"A'da, what are you doing? Violating the tribal laws!"
"A'da, do you believe we'll tell the tribal chief about this? You won't be able to live in the tribe anymore!"
"The sacred land cannot be entered. This is a tradition left by the elders from years ago. A'da, you are truly bold!"
Instantly, countless people pointed fingers at A'da.
A'da snorted and looked at Fatty.
"How about it, I'll take you there."
A'da said, and Fatty looked at Zhang Tian.
Seeing Zhang Tian nod, Fatty then nodded.
"Alright, lead the way, Fatty."
Fatty waved his hand, acting magnanimous.
A'da led the way, with some people unable to resist asking A'da for his reasons.
A'da remained silent, thinking to himself.
"Hmph, once I've dealt with these people, you'll know my intentions, you ignorant fools."
A'da inwardly scoffed. He planned to deliberately lure Zhang Tian and his group into the poisonous perimeter surrounding the sacred land.
At that point, Zhang Tian and his companions' lives would no longer be their concern.
