Chapter 151: Super Chef

The middle aged man laughed: “You should be thanking these people…… anyways, I don’t need the gratitude of a little kid, I hate little kids with innocent looks like you the most.” As he said this, he began walking towards Su Yu and the others.

The little girl did not listen to the words of the middled aged man, she knew that the mouth of the middle aged man was stubborn, although he said he hated little kids, he had risked his life to save her.

“Many thanks everyone, my name is Fang Jiong, 32, I’m a Super chef, before coming to this forest I was one, even now I’m still one.” The middle aged man smiled as he looked at Su Yu, introducing himself. As he spoke of his super chef status, this Fang Jiong had an expression of pride on his face.

Fang Jiong’s eyes were sharp, he could already tell that Su Yu was the strongest within the group, he immediately surmised that he was the leader, thus speaking directly to him.

This Fang Jiong was also an expert of the fourth tier, Su Yu did not dare to be discourteous as he respectfully replied: “My name is Su Yu, I’m a student, these people are my comrades.” Thereafter, Qin Jiagui and the others began to introduce themselves.

At the back, the little girl walked forward as she said in a sweet voice: “My name is Kou Xiaowei, everyone can call me Xiao Wei, thank you big brothers and sisters.” As she said this, she also bowed down before the group, thereafter, she smiled affectionately at Zhou Birong.

Back then, it was Zhou Birong who had rushed forward to save her.

Zhou Birong stretched her hand forward as she gently tousled Xiao Wei’s silky hair, her face filled with a motherly affection that was once again released, the blow of Ding Shan’s death was very immense, when faced with Xiao Wei who was roughly Ding Shan’s age, all the regret and feelings she had towards Ding Shan were slowly being transferred to Xiao Wei.

Zhang Zhongmou was by the side searching the headless corpse of the black clothed male. This black clothed male was an expert of the fourth tier, his background was mysterious and had mentioned something about a White Tiger, Zhang Zhongmou wanted to see if there was anything on his body that was of use, something like a precious treasure would be great.

Having searched his entire body, he did not manage to find anything exception six to seven smooth little stones, these stones were exceptionally smooth, four sided and flat, like four sided coins with a strange small ‘Time’ carved on their surface.

Zhang Zhongmou curiously asked: “What is this thing?” Inspecting them piece by piece, they had all been carved with the ‘Time’ word.

The others frowned, they were unsure what it was when the little girl Xiao Wei suddenly spoke up: “This is a ‘Time Coin’, this fellow is really pathetic, so poor.”

“Time Coin?” The group were dazed for a moment, even Fang Jiong reacted in the same manner, it was clear that he had no idea as well.

Xiao Wei strangely asked: “Don’t you guys know? This is time money, each piece represents an hour of time, they can be used to buy various items.”

“Buy stuff? What stuff can be bought with this?” The group were very curious, Xiao Wei seemed to understand something as she covered her mouth, hurriedly shaking her head: “There’s actually nothing…….” before curiously measuring Su Yu and the others, thereafter she seemed to understand something else as she continued: “Xiao Wei understand, you guys are like uncle, you were chosen and sent in here……. That means you guys will be required to buy time, Xiao Wei won’t need them.”

The group were befuddled as Su Yu interjected: “Xiao Wei, why was the black clothed fellow trying to kill you? What is the White Tiger he spoke of?”

His question had just been asked when Xiao Wei suddenly covered her ears as she shrilly cried: “Don’t…….. Don’t talk about it…….” Her entire body was trembling as she suddenly fell to the ground, her face was filled with terror.

Su Yu immediately stopped talking.

Zhou Birong hurried forward to support Xiao Wei, gently patting her back as she whispered: “Don’t be scared, it’s alright, everything’s alright.”

Xiao Wei continued to sob spasmodically as she stood up, her entire body was still trembling and her initially clear eyes currently held fear in them.

Su Yu and the others began to exchange glances, they did not understand what the White Tiger represented, how could it incite such fear in Xiao Wei?

The group certainly knew that in ancient times, the White Tiger represented one of the four sacred beasts, however, this was a different world and they were unsure what the black clothed male meant by White Tiger, or was he merely indicating something? Was it a form to signalling?

Fang Jiong suddenly said in a solemn voice: “Let’s bury him.” as he pointed at the corpse of the black clothed male.

After Xiao Wei’s strange performance, the mysterious time money and the White Tiger left a strange feeling within them, there were even hints of fear. Fang Jiong’s words resounded with the group as they swiftly buried the corpse before breathing a sigh of relief.
