69 Got what they deserved (1/2)
The atmosphere in the hollow reached freezing. Everyone felt glum and downtrodden after two of their teammates disappeared in the night without any explanation. And now, to everyone's surprise, another internal conflict happened between those who were left?
The four of Xu Xianchu, Luo Xinyu, Liu Bu, and Wang Lei roughly knew that the soldiers had planned on attacking Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin. However, that was handled by the two of them in an instant.
The duration of this fight was so quick that it was unimaginable, and the conflict also made Xu Xianchu seriously reassess these two people standing in front of him.
He sighed and said, ”They probably got what they deserved.”
Ren Xiaosu did not say anything. After thinking about it, he understood that Xu Xianchu had no motive to cause this assault.
If it were for the guns, Xu Xianchu still had his rifle and pistol on him. If it were to possess Luo Xinyu, Xu Xianchu got the opportunity long ago. After all, Luo Xinyu had even thrown herself at him, yet he never reacted positively to her advances. If it were for the water, Xu Xianchu had already collected a bottle in the evening. He didn't have any reason to set his sights on Ren Xiaosu's two bottles of water.
Ren Xiaosu was worried that Xu Xianchu would take action to maintain order in the team, but as it turned out, he did not want to get involved in this conflict at all.
Xu Xianchu's overarching objective was to explore the mystery of the Jing Mountains and the evolution of the creatures that lived there. He was not concerned about getting the others out of this place alive.
”But surely Sun Junzheng's crime should not amount to his death, right?” Xu Xianchu sighed again. ”Forget it, no one can truly be faulted out in this wilderness.”
Ren Xiaosu felt that Xu Xianchu already understood the principles of wilderness survival. There was no right or wrong. Survival was the only gospel truth.
He also did not want to say that Yang Xiaojin was right to do so, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with ridding themselves of any threats!
Ren Xiaosu carried the three corpses and threw them outside the hollow. Then he said to Xu Xianchu and Yang Xiaojin, ”I could never figure out how Xu Xia's corpse disappeared, so why don't we closely observe what happens this time?”
He told Yang Xiaojin, ”Shout me awake if anything strange happens.” He then sat down against the stone wall and went back to sleep.
The others looked at Ren Xiaosu and wondered how he could remain so calm. Why could he go straight back to sleep like nothing had happened when he obviously just killed someone? Were you not the one who killed that person just now?
In reality, Ren Xiaosu was not asleep. He was just taking a mental look at the palace because a black shadow clone had appeared in it. This made Ren Xiaosu lose his sleepiness as his interest was piqued!
Crucially, he had been very envious of Xu Xianchu and was even a little envious of Zhang Baogen's power of blowing the explosive saliva bubbles.
Although the saliva bubbles looked very weak, Ren Xiaosu suspected there was still room for improvement in its power.
Did the supernatural beings have any room for improvement? He felt that there certainly must be.
As for him, even though he had a palace that looked quite intimidating, the problem was that he had mostly been raising his Strength and Dexterity attributes thus far. It made him feel like he was not really a supernatural being. After all, some people could also reach his current state of strength after a long period of training.
As such, before he learned the Shadow Clone power he copied from Xu Xianchu, he could not be truly regarded as a supernatural being. At the very least, he could not be considered as one in terms of combat strength.
Ren Xiaosu had long coveted Xu Xianchu's Shadow Cone that was capable of blocking bullets. In Ren Xiaosu's opinion, weapons such as firearms and explosives were terrifying. The initial velocity at which a bullet was fired at could reach Mach speed or several times Mach. Normal people would have no chance of fighting back against weapons like firearms.
Therefore, to Ren Xiaosu, the qualifier that separated a normal person from a supernatural being would be the fear of firearms and explosives.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu was also not fearless of firearms and explosives. He would still die if someone carried out a sneak attack on him with those weapons.
