Big Bluff's pure physical strength was very strong. Ren Xiaosu had never asked exactly how strong he was, but the fact that this fellow could take on a T5 combatant head-on without being at a disadvantage was enough to tell him something.
Back then, Big Bluff had killed a T5 combatant with his bare hands in the Sacred Mountains.
Therefore, when Big Bluff stopped hiding his identity and started chasing after the expeditionary army's transport troops, Ren Xiaosu did not intend to intervene at all.
After all, there were no experts among the barbarians in the transport troops.
It just so happened that Ren Xiaosu wanted to see Big Bluff's actual strength.
He would not have known it if he had not seen it, but he was shocked when he saw it. As a supernatural being, Big Bluff could only develop his physical fitness to the extreme. As a result, Big Bluff's physical fitness had reached an extremely freakish level.
When the barbarians surrounded Big Bluff, the old man did not dodge or retreat. Instead, he forcefully took on the giant axes with his bare hands.
A barbarian wielded a giant axe and swung it at Big Bluff. But Big Bluff managed to catch the blade of the barbarian's axe with just two fingers as if he was showing off his skills. It looked extremely fierce.
If it were just a normal fight, everyone would probably only feel that Big Bluff was very strong, but they would not know exactly how strong he was.
But now, he could actually catch the blade of an axe with just two fingers. It looked really terrifying.
However, Ren Xiaosu was curious. Did Big Bluff usually fight like this? Or was he trying to show off his skills in front of him?
Ren Xiaosu was originally 600 meters away from the transport troops. But by the time he got closer, the 100 or so barbarians in the transport troops had all died.
Big Bluff was still panting heavily. But when Ren Xiaosu got closer, he immediately puffed out his chest and said to Ren Xiaosu with a relaxed look, "Young Marshal, I missed you so much. I didn't expect to see you here!"
"Speaking of which, why did you suddenly appear here? And you're even with the barbarians' transport team?" Ren Xiaosu asked in puzzlement. "I thought you went back to the Northwest."
"I did make a trip back to the Northwest, but our cause in the Northwest hasn't been completed yet, so I'll definitely have to return to the Central Plains to look for talents." Big Bluff chuckled. At this moment, he said to the refugees who were being watched over by the expeditionary army, "Alright, you guys should hurry up and leave. Remember, head towards the Northwest. It's all a dead end if you head south from here. The Northwest is the door to life!"
Regardless of whether Big Bluff was fooling people with his shoddy metaphysics or not, he was right this time. The South was full of battlefields, and they would die wherever they went. Therefore, these people could only go to the Northwest.
However, someone among the escapees suddenly asked, "Since you're so powerful, why didn't you make a move when the barbarians killed our compatriots?"
Big Bluff was amused. "It's all thanks to me that you're still alive. Stop bullshitting and scram!"
The escapees did not dare to say another word. Big Bluff suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "If you guys still feel indignant, you can come and reason with me after the war is over. Remember, I'm Wang Run from the Wang Clan!"
As the escapees fled towards the Northwest, Ren Xiaosu said helplessly, "I don't think there's a need to hide our real names, right?"
"That won't do. We can't tarnish the reputation of the Northwest, can we?" Big Bluff said, "These days, these people just like to spread rumors. Although I didn't make a move to save them because I had another mission, I don't know how it'll turn out if it gets passed on. In any case, the Wang Clan isn't afraid of scandals. They already have plenty of scandals about them to begin with, so one more won't make much of a difference."
Ren Xiaosu no longer cared about this matter. Instead, he asked, "What were you doing with the transport troops?"
"I was leading some people to the Pyro Company to look for people suitable for the Northwest, but I didn't expect the Pyro Company to be defeated so quickly. I wasn't captured by them, but I thought I could sneak into the expeditionary army this way, so I took the initiative to let them capture me." Big Bluff said, "Then I wondered if I should sneak into the expeditionary army and kill one or two of their high-ranking commanders. That would definitely disrupt the barbarians' rhythm of attack."
"Then I was the one who ruined your plan." Ren Xiaosu said in embarrassment, "I didn't expect you to have such an important plan in this group!"
However, a young man next to him muttered, "Like hell he has a plan …"
Big Bluff glared at him. "I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense in front of the Young Marshal."
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Who's this?"
Ren Xiaosu sized up the young man. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, had fair skin, and was slightly chubby.
"Oh, his name is Xun Yeyu. You probably haven't heard of him, Young Marshal. This is the fatty we captured during the battle against the Soong Clan." Big Bluff explained, "His superpower is to find supernatural beings within a 50-kilometer radius. That's why I brought him here from the Northwest to see if anyone had slipped through the net."
After Xun Yeyu was captured by the Soong Clan, he was placed in an important position. During that battle, the Soong Clan had clearly dispatched more supernatural beings than the other consortiums, and that was all thanks to him.
Many of the supernatural beings in the other consortiums had hidden themselves very well and had not been exposed.
Meanwhile, he had found all of the Soong Clan's supernatural beings.
Right now, Big Bluff wanted to find someone to go to the Northwest of Daxing, and this fatty's superpower was just right for him.
"Nice to meet you." Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "Continue working hard and strive to become someone useful to the Northwest."
Xun Yeyu said, "… OK, Young Marshal."
Speaking of which, Xun Yeyu had often heard others mention the Young Marshal, but this was his first time meeting him in person.
Big Bluff asked, "By the way, Young Marshal, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Zuoyun Mount?"
Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "The situation over there isn't looking good, and the Pyro Company's defeat caught us off guard. So I came out to interfere with the expeditionary army's logistics team and give them a headache."
With that, Ren Xiaosu went to check the supplies on the cart. However, he realized the supplies this time were no longer from the Central Plains. Instead, they were some black bread and coarse grains.
Puzzled, he broke off some black bread and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he said, "This black bread tastes like cornbread. Do the people of the expeditionary army eat this? It means they're really having a hard time in the North. It's no wonder they suddenly went south. "
But even so, the Central Plains and the barbarians were already at odds with each other. Even if the barbarians were here for the survival of their own people, the Central Plains would not back down at all. Both sides would definitely fight to the death.
With that, Ren Xiaosu stored all the supplies that the logistics team had transported into his storage space. Regardless of whether the food tasted good or not, the food could still be used for emergencies.
At this moment, P5092's voice suddenly rang out in Ren Xiaosu's earpiece. "Young Marshal, did everything go smoothly?"
"Yes! It went really smoothly! " Ren Xiaosu said, "The food problem at the defensive positions has been resolved. There's more than enough supplies here."
"Then Young Marshal, hurry back here," P5092 said.
"No." Ren Xiaosu glanced at Big Bluff. "I've already rendezvoused with Big Bluff. I'll feel like I'll be losing out if I don't do something in this situation."
