The first three characters of Chapter 0004

The thought left the young man stunned for a few seconds, but it also made the four individuals impatient. One of them raised a whip, preparing to strike the ragged little beggar fiercely to establish authority. Meng Yan caught sight of the whip and was somewhat surprised, but he quickly sidestepped and easily evaded it, which in turn astonished the four, who had not expected this little beggar to possess such remarkable agility. However, after dodging the whip, he retreated far away, appearing extremely fearful, clearly intimidated.

It is truly dangerous; these four individuals are so foolish that they casually approach passersby, shouting about treasure as if they are afraid no one will notice. Moreover, they are violent, quick to resort to physical aggression. They are shallow and ignorant, clearly mere lackeys or extras, and in treasure-hunting operations, they usually meet their demise quickly. I certainly would not be foolish enough to get close to them.

Four furious outsiders, before they could even shout a couple of words, were struck down by two beams of rainbow light descending from the sky, cutting both man and horse diagonally in half, blood and flesh flying everywhere, resulting in their immediate and tragic death. Although they attempted to raise their armored hands for defense, it was all in vain; before they could even lift them, they had already been severed.

Although her appearance was delicate, the domineering tone in her words made her peer, Meng Yan, feel inferior. The girl in the green dress kicked aside the flag carried by the four burly men. Looking at the totem on it, she frowned and said, "What an ugly design. I feel like I've seen this somewhere before. What is this organization called? Gai... Gai... Gai something?"

The girl in the green dress finished speaking and turned to look at the dazed Meng Yan, "Hey, little brother, we are from out of town. My name is ... ... Jie Lin, and this is my senior sister, Mei Ying. Do you happen to know if there have been any strange occurrences around here recently"

Why bother with so much? It's just an excuse to kill someone. Senior sister, are you still arguing with the library over this? Such trash, with a head like a pig's, is better off dead. Just kill him, who cares about the trivialities...

It makes sense, in remote and impoverished areas, the country folk know nothing... Hey, kid, are there any places around here recently where treasures are shining brightly or auspicious signs are appearing... If you know, tell us, there are a few coins here for you... No, there are a few meat buns here, if you tell us, you can have some... Hehe, look at this little beggar, his mouth is wide open, he really looks greedy.

Meng Yan was left speechless; he was completely taken aback by the sheer stupidity of these four outsiders, which far exceeded his understanding of people. They had come to a completely unfamiliar place and immediately asked about treasure, even going so far as to call themselves beggars without a single polite word. How could they expect to get any answers like this? Did they think that the locals were as foolish as they were?

Do you understand what we are saying? The treasure location is the place where the treasure is hidden; you should not reveal what you know!

"Little beggar! Where is the treasure nearby? Speak honestly, and you will avoid physical pain."

Brother Qin, do not be angry. This little beggar looks both dirty and foolish; he might very well be a simpleton or a useless person. He cannot understand our words, nor can he recognize the heroes of our Great World Tower

Although I do not fully understand the ways of the outside world, I am somewhat aware that individuals like these country bumpkins are essentially offering themselves up to be taken advantage of, much like those chaotic outsiders. What I ought to do is to fulfill my duty as a host by taking them to Xiaojiao Village, and later collect their remains. However, these four individuals are quite robust, and digging their graves is somewhat exhausting. Should I perhaps eat their meat buns first to replenish my strength?

"When encountering injustice on the road... that's not what I meant. Moreover, you didn't even ask before taking action. If we are to speak of bullying the weak, you are equally complicit in that."

On that day, Meng Yan carried a shovel and a hoe, intending to work on his own land. If no outsiders caused any disturbances, he could even spend the entire morning in the fields. However, unexpected situations always seemed to arise.

Several large pieces of dismembered bodies lay scattered on the ground, and Meng Yan was once again taken aback. It was one thing to deal with human remains, but even the horses were buried. The amount of work involved was truly overwhelming; it would be better to find another way to handle this.

Indeed, isn't that the Gai Shi Building? A small sect from the southern border, no more significant than sesame and mung beans, actually dares to call itself Gai Shi. They should just go home and build an amusement park to entertain the children! With such little strength, they still have the audacity to come here and try to claim treasures. Let's not even mention that they lack the fortune for it; even if they did, what right do these easily dealt with things have to guard their own flag?

You are too dangerous, I want to keep my distance

Meng Yan appeared to be lost in thought, yet his mind was racing with many ideas. This girl named Jielin spoke in a sharp and spicy manner, but she was relatively measured in her interactions, much better than those four foolish lackeys from earlier. She wasn't foolish enough to directly inquire about the treasure, which might prolong her life. However... when she registered, she deliberately omitted her surname, clearly indicating her intention to conceal her identity. Did she think I wouldn't notice? It's possible that after completing her tasks, she might eliminate any loose ends, effectively hiding her tracks. Such things... I have seen before.

A strange light appears...?

You little rascal, are you mute

There is indeed a forbidden area next to the village under m.hetushucomcom, which is quite terrifying. The locals never go there; it is precisely the forbidden place you mentioned.

What? You say we are going to die! You little bastard, looking for death... Waaaaahhh!

"The World-Over Building." The stunningly beautiful woman riding on the white crane, fearing that her young lady might cause another embarrassment, shook her head and timely provided the answer

Can't think of it? It's just a place that emits strange light at night, or even during the day it emits light randomly

"I just arrived..." Meng Yan swallowed nervously and said, "You all... are about to lose your lives... I guarantee, in the name of my profession as a corpse collector, that it is too dangerous to approach you right now..."

Such fools, killing them is just killing them, what is there to question? Just now, didn't you, Senior Sister, see with your own eyes how they intimidate the good people and bully the weak? We act out of righteousness, standing up against injustice, and helping those in need. Since we are to draw our swords, we must certainly strike them down.

Furrowing his brow in deep thought, Meng Yan truly could not come up with an answer. The March Mountain was not devoid of strange occurrences; rather, it had long since become accustomed to them. Those outsiders who appeared every few days to meet their demise had become a familiar sight. What else was there to find strange?

Miss, do not forget that our purpose in this journey is to procure medicine for the family, not to seek treasure or create trouble. Regardless of how bored you may feel, it is just the two of us, and we do not possess the capability to confront others directly. It is not appropriate for us to become entangled in the disputes of March Mountain

A single crane's call echoed through the heavens, as two large cranes with white feathers, red crowns, and crimson eyes flapped their wings and descended from the sky, landing right in front of Meng Yan. On top of them were two exceptionally beautiful women. One appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a mature face and distinct features, exuding a strong personality. On her snow-white arm, she wore a red ring that shimmered with colorful light, reminiscent of the rainbow glow that had just slain four individuals. The other was about thirteen or fourteen years old, charming and delicate, with skin as fine as white porcelain, resembling a meticulously crafted doll. Her features were picturesque, so beautiful that she seemed almost unreal. Her distinct contours suggested a strong personality, and like the first, she also wore a red ring on her snow-white arm, sparkling with the same colorful light as before.

Hmph! Are you scared now? You little brat, why are you hiding so far away?

Miss, you acted too quickly; at least you should have asked first

Is there really a forbidden place? That's wonderful! Quickly take us there!

Still can't remember? Or... are there any forbidden areas nearby? Dangerous places that locals absolutely are not allowed to go? Are there such places?

Hahaha, now you finally understand that we are not to be trifled with, right? Hurry over here! Reveal the location of the treasure, otherwise, don't think that retreating will allow you to escape

Uh... strange, strange things... it seems like nothing particularly unusual...

The girl in the green dress appeared delicate and graceful, resembling a beautiful doll. However, when she spoke, it was terrifying. Meng Yan initially thought that the larger one among the four donkey eggs was the one to be dealt with, but it turned out that it was this beautiful girl who took action. Moreover, the two of them addressed each other as "Senior Sister" and "Miss," respectively, making their relationship sound quite complicated

Meng Yan raised his head and glanced at the four strong men. All four were dressed in the same attire, wearing identical iron gauntlets on their right hands, indicating they likely hailed from the same place. Although they were outsiders, they were different from those inexplicable "outsiders" who appeared from nowhere; they were outsiders belonging to this world. Each of them carried a large flag on their backs, the flags rolled up, making it impossible to discern their designs. However, the faces of these four men were filled with pride and impatience.

Meng Yan stood in the original and - picture - book place, motionless, as if he had been stunned. In fact, dismembered corpses were a common occurrence for him; a little more dismemberment would not frighten him. However, these two beautiful women indeed took him by surprise. On one hand, it was due to their outstanding beauty; he had never seen such stunning women before. On the other hand, the prominent curves of their chests, which were as striking as their beauty, made the young man’s heart race a little faster.

Just as he stepped out of the dilapidated cave that had been his refuge, and had barely covered the entrance with a wooden board, the sound of galloping horses rapidly approached. When the young man leisurely turned around, he saw four robust men on swift steeds racing towards him, and they immediately shouted loudly.

Sister, do not be so pedantic. The legend of the extraordinary treasures of March Mountain is likely related to some kind of spiritual medicine or mystical objects. If we can obtain them directly, we won't have to waste money at the auction house. Moreover, the disputes over March Mountain have not even begun, have they? As soon as we heard the news on the road, we immediately rushed over. Those local sects and organizations will need time to gather their forces; how could they possibly arrive so quickly? Let them trail behind us and eat our dust. By the time they arrive, we will have already flown away on our cranes. Where would the disputes come from?

... places where outsiders often run out, casually running in, who knows where they will be sent? ... Of course, it becomes a forbidden area. If you two fools want to go in ... at least here we don't have to worry about increasing the workload, burying four a day is really quite enough ...

Uh? Am I going too? This... this is not good...

The older beauty glanced at the corpse on the ground and sighed, while the light beauty beside her paid no mind, leaping down from the white crane, her white boots stepping into the blood-soaked mud, even kicking the corpse a couple of times.
