"Xiu Niang!"
"Ying Zi … Lotus …"
Gan Daniu, Zhu Zi, and Iron Egg quickly moved past the corpses of the bandits from Black Wind Mountain. In a flurry of motion, they saved the kidnapped women from the carriage. Then, they turned around and bowed to Happy.
"Thank you, benefactor!"
"Thank you, benefactor!"
At the moment the group of people bowed to Happy, their eyes became wet.
Happy felt as if something had touched his heart. Without hesitation, he bent down and helped the group up. "This is what we should do. Get up. This place is close to Black Wind Mountain, so we can't stay here for long. Hurry up and take your things and leave."
"Okay, we'll listen to you in everything!"
"Zhu Zi, Iron Egg, hurry up and bring the carriage back!" Gan Daniu seemed to have some prestige among the trio. The other two quickly did as he was told. It was easy for them to get down the mountain, and soon, they disappeared from Happy's sight.
When he snapped out of his daze …
It was only then that Happy remembered that not only had he killed ten mountain bandits, he had also killed the third bandit chief of Black Wind Mountain, who was far stronger than him. These people should have quite a lot of money on them.
He searched through the corpses, and aside from finding more than one thousand and four hundred taels of silver crumbs, he also found two hundred taels of gold crumbs from Third Bandit Chief's body, a torn brocade robe, and a Snow Axe. The latter was actually a masterpiece of the lowest grade, which surprised Happy. He also obtained a Five Consecutive Axe Elements manual.
'Now, I don't have to worry about not having any new martial arts.'
Happy smiled and put away all his rewards into his Universe Bag. Then, he suddenly came to a realization.
He had clearly saved Xiu Niang and done what he needed to do, but the system did not seem to have notified him that he had obtained the rewards he deserved.
He was curious and summoned his quest log to take a look. A chill instantly rose in his heart!
Things had not ended just yet!
[Quest Log:
[Chain Quest 1: Save Xiu Niang (Completed)
[Triggered Quest 2: Black Wind Mountain's Rage.
"Since you killed Black Wind Mountain's third bandit chief at the sentry area near the perimeter of Black Wind Mountain and were discovered by the sentry, all of Black Wind Mountain Stronghold has learned of Third Bandit Chief's death. The head bandit chief is incredibly angry, but he is grateful for the Murong Clan's might and has decided to take revenge on Water Revival Village." Right now, he has already ordered the second bandit chief to gather fifty Black Wind Mountain elites and prepare to bathe Water Revival Village in blood once night falls. They will kill all the men, women, old, and young in Water Revival Village so that they can die with Third Bandit Chief!
After he looked at the date of the quest, he finally received a system notification.
"Would you like to receive the Black Wind Stockade's Wrath?"
"If you choose to give up, you will automatically give up on the quest reward for saving Xiu Niang. All the Reputation Points you obtained from Black Wind Stronghold will be reduced to zero, and your Chivalry Points will be reduced to zero! The favorability of the villagers of Water Revival Village has been reduced to zero! "
"…"
Happy sucked in a sharp breath.
It wasn't because of how severe the punishment for giving up the mission was, but …
For the sake of revenge, the Black Wind Bandits had gathered fifty Black Wind Bandits!
There was also the second bandit chief, who was also at the peak of Gate Realm but had an even more level-headed personality. Happy simply could not think of any way he could stop the massacre on his own.
The joy he felt from obtaining a great reward had already disappeared. He was like an ant on a hot pan! He was burning with anxiety!
Even though he had already gained a lot from this trip and could endure some punishment because it would not affect him in the future, Happy knew that he could not give up.
If he caused Water Revival Village to be bathed in blood because of him, Gan Daniu, the old boatman, the village chief, and the smart and adorable Young Huan would definitely not just watch the massacre happen!
He absolutely could not!
Happy clenched his fists tightly, and a light that would not turn back shone from his eyes.
Fifty mountain bandits …
One person could not fight against them, and that person was a newbie.
Should he ask for reinforcements?
The people he knew were not in Gusu City, and he usually did not interact with anyone, aside from him …
He frowned and thought of a person.
When he remembered what that person had said to him in the morning, Happy could not help but hesitate a little.
However, when he thought about how this matter concerned the survival of Water Revival Village and that there were less than two hours before nightfall, he was pressed for time, and he could not afford to waste time. That was why he made his decision. He resolutely brought out a piece of paper and a pen from his Universe Bag and wrote a few words on it. He signed his name at the bottom before he rolled the paper into a small bundle.
Once he was done, Happy brought out a calm and obedient snow-white messenger pigeon from his Universe Bag. He placed the piece of paper into the small bamboo tube on the messenger pigeon's leg. Once he made sure that the letter was correct, the messenger pigeon rose high into the air and quickly disappeared.
Once he released the messenger pigeon, Happy released a long sigh of relief and waited on the spot.
The battle had made him realize that he was in danger!
He was in the world of martial artists!
There were plenty of times when he would run into situations that he could not handle alone.
He had been busy training his martial arts, but he had neglected the most important thing in the world of martial artists — interpersonal relationships. He had made this mistake in his previous life, and in this life, he had actually made the same mistake!
"…"
…
In a tavern several miles away from Gusu City were a few young people drinking while they talked about everything under the sun. They talked about their encounters in the sect and their quests. Even though their stories were normal and mediocre, there was no lack of fun in them. Occasionally, they would burst into laughter.
There were two people who stood out from the crowd.
One of them was a young man dressed in a normal gray errand uniform, just like all the other newbies. He had a longsword pressed against his hand. The other was dressed in a green warrior's robe, and he looked like a player from the world of martial artists. Both of them sat in a corner, and they looked as if they were on equal footing.
"Hey, Young Whirlwind, what's wrong with you today? Why aren't you talking? "
The young man in the green warrior's robe had been staring at the person across from him. When he saw that the person kept looking around, he found it a little strange. "You should be happy that you're officially accepted into the sect today."
"I'm pretty happy."
Young Whirlwind was Whirlwind Young Li, who had been chatting with Happy in the morning. When he heard the young man's words, he was stunned before he reacted to the situation. "You know that I've been practicing my qi cultivation technique and lightness skill over this period of time. My martial arts are only average. I heard that the rascals in this tavern are very strong. I'm worried …"
"What are you afraid of? We have a lot of people here. "
"That's right. Big Brother Green's sword technique has already reached the ninth realm. The sound when he draws his sword is clear and loud. Tsk …" the four young men by the side said.
"What do you know?"
No matter what, Whirlwind Young Li was a disciple of the Murong Clan. His innate attributes and Comprehension were slightly higher than a normal player's. "This method is passed down by the Murong Clan. It's fine if I follow in Eldest Senior Brother's footsteps and look for rascals to practice my sword, but there are plenty of people waiting here. If I ruin Eldest Senior Brother Happy's reputation, it'll be too embarrassing."
"Heh, so that's what you're worried about …"
The green-robed man smiled.
Right when he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he let out a cry of surprise.
"Young Whirlwind, someone's calling you."
At the same time, Whirlwind Young Li felt a pressure on his shoulder, and he heard cooing sounds by his ears. When he heard it, he turned his head around and frowned. "Who is it? Why is he calling me at this time?" He grumbled as he took down the messenger pigeon.
The rascals were about to enter the stage, and someone had sent a messenger pigeon …
It would have been better if Whirlwind Young Li had not read it. When he opened it, he got up with a whoosh and turned his head around to look at the items and numbers listed on the letter. He extended his hands to the five people at the table without hesitation.
"Money! Whoever has money, lend it to me! World of Martial Arts, help me! "
The five people were stunned.
