Early the next morning, Zhuang Hong found a path marked by carriages, so he walked along the path, intending to find a city where humans lived first.

Not long after he left, a bullock cart full of fodder drove up behind him.

An old man with short hair sat on the cross frame of the bullock cart and drove, slapping him on his butt from time to time. Sitting on the hay was a little boy of about ten years old, looking at Zhuang Hong curiously with his big black eyes.

When the old man saw Zhuang Hong, his mouth that was missing all the teeth suddenly split open and he laughed.

The bullock cart stopped beside Zhuang Hong.

"Young man, I'm going to Xitang Town. It's quite a distance. Do you want to give me a ride?"

Zhuang Hong is very polite when traveling in other worlds and must not embarrass the people on earth. So he smiled, nodded and said, "Thank you, old man. If it's convenient, that would be great."

The old man crossed his fingers: "Ten cents."

Zhuang Hong's face froze for a moment. He thought the old man was kind enough to drive him for free, but he didn't expect that he would have to pay for the fare. The key was that he didn't have ten cents.

Seeing Zhuang Hong's expression, the old man was surprised and said, "Young man, you are out and don't even have ten coins?"

Zhuang Hong said: "There are no copper coins, but there is some gold sand. How about using gold sand instead?"

The old man was startled and immediately shook his head and said: "Gold? That's too valuable to accept. Forget it, just come up."

Zhuang Hong sat on the hay and stared at the child.

The old man drove off again, and Zhuang Hong took the opportunity to ask the old man about the basic situation of the world.

Soon I learned from the old man that this was a world of warriors with an ancient background. Warriors mastered a technique that activates the body's potential and can gain extremely powerful power. It is precisely because of the existence of warriors that humans have the ability to fight against giants. The power of the devil and won the final victory.

After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and said, "Young man, I see you are carrying a sword on your back. Are you also a warrior?"

"Warrior? It doesn't seem to be the case, but it can be considered..."

The old man chuckled: "My little boy Erniu likes to listen to stories about warriors the most. He was bored all the way. How about you tell stories about warriors?"

Zhuang Hong looked embarrassed. He had always listened to other people telling stories before. Where had he ever told stories to anyone?

But seeing the child Er Niu looking at him expectantly, he didn't want to be disappointed. After thinking about it, he asked uncertainly: "How about telling you a story about the 'Ugly Duckling'?"

Erniu: "Is the ugly duckling a powerful warrior?"

Zhuang Hong: "...right."

He finished telling the story about the ugly duckling in a daze.

The air fell into an eerie silence, with only the sound of the wheels turning.

Zhuang Hong looked slightly embarrassed. After thinking about it, he came up with a new idea: "How about I tell you another story?"

The child Erniu blinked: "What story?"

Zhuang Hong: "Little Red Riding Hood."

Erniu: "Is Little Red Riding Hood a powerful warrior?"

Zhuang Hong waved his hand: "Well... forget it, I won't tell you anymore. I'm not very good at telling stories."

Just when the atmosphere was extremely awkward, the old man suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the ox cart. Zhuang Hong looked forward and found two logs blocking the road not far away.

The old man's face turned ugly: "It was the bandits who robbed the road, but how could there be bandits on this road..."

As soon as he finished speaking, two ragged men with knives jumped out from the roadside, only staring at the neatly dressed Zhuang Hong.

One of the bandits took out a gong from his back and struck it.

"Dangdangdang~"

Another said: "Hey, although this kid's energy is extremely powerful, he is superficial and messy. He is obviously just an ordinary person. Let us catch a fat sheep and this big black cow. Then we can eat beef for a while. Yes, hahaha!"

The gong-beating bandit said loudly: "Boy, we've called for help. If you know what's going on, please hand over your valuables, otherwise it won't be so easy to be kind if you use a knife later."

The old man's face was ashen. Without this cow, he would not be able to live in the future.

A cold light flashed in Zhuang Hong's eyes. Just as he was about to send these two people away, he heard a scolding sound coming from afar.

"Bandit, look at the sword!"

Then a strong black figure sprang out from the side and passed by the two bandits at an extremely fast speed.

The sword flashed.

"puff!"

The two bandits covered their necks in shock, and the long knives in their hands fell to the ground with a clang.

Zhuang Hong looked at the heroic girl in black and couldn't help but applaud and praised: "Awesome!"

The girl in black was carrying a package and had a high ponytail tied behind her head. With a bright and sweet face, a heroic spirit burst out of her.

She sheathed her sword and raised her chin slightly proudly: "Just average!"

When she was about to leave, five or six bandits surrounded a big man and blocked her way.

The big man was extremely burly, holding a mace. He tilted his head and looked down at the woman in black. He opened his black teeth and laughed and said: "Young lady is so handsome, and she is also a secret warrior. How about..."

He stretched out his hand towards the girl in black.

"Be my subordinate!"



There are no two identical leaves in the world.

Of course, there are no two identical worlds in this endless space.

Each world has its own unique features, unique geographical features, unique martial arts concepts, and unique thoughts.

For example, in the Jinyun world where Zhuang Hong lives: when a strong-blooded man faced a beautiful and youthful girl, he actually said, 'Be my subordinate' instead of 'Be my wife'.

This was beyond Zhuang Hong's expectation. Moreover, were the two killed bandits left alone?

Of course, Zhuang Hong didn't intend to change anything, just kill some bad guys he happened to meet. As a traveler, when he walks around, he wants to experience the different features of different worlds and understand the historical context of each world taking different paths.

Just be a bystander. He never thinks arrogantly that others must live according to his outlook on life.

The girl in black sneered and said arrogantly: "I refuse because I don't want to associate with you bandits."

The strong man laughed loudly and said: "You can't refuse it. Who am I? I am the king of Niulan Mountain, a powerful flyover warrior, hahahaha!"

The girl in black unsheathed her long sword, and with the wind at her feet, she stabbed the strong man with the mace with her sword.

The bullpen king also shouted and came forward.

Soon, a strong man and a young girl got into a fight.

The girl is agile and strikes the sword with urgency and ruthlessness, while the bullpen king is not slow in his movements. Every blow is delivered with unparalleled force, often forcing the girl to change her moves to dodge at the last moment.

Overall, the bullpen king was stronger than the girl. He held the girl down and beat her, and seemed to be worried about accidentally breaking the girl.

Zhuang Hong's eyes lit up as he watched, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's awesome! It's awesome!"

In the past two or three years, he has been exploring the space near the earth. He has rarely seen worlds with extraordinary abilities. Most of them are ordinary. The strongest one is the world of wild beasts that he uses to practice. But even the world of wild beasts is just Evolved flesh and blood power.

For example, the strength displayed by the girl in black and the strong man has obviously exceeded the limit that ordinary bodies can achieve.

At this time, Zhuang Hong couldn't help but think that Hei Jinhua's previous statement that the airspace where the earth was located was remote and desolate might be referring to whether the creatures in various worlds had extraordinary powers.

In a world of desolate airspace, creatures are ordinary, but in a world of resource-rich airspace, creatures possess certain extraordinary powers.

In other words, Zhuang Hong is likely to be in an airspace with more abundant resources than in the direction of the earth...

Zhuang Hong was thinking wildly while observing the two men fighting, and suddenly asked the old man: "Old man, what do they mean by the secret warrior and the overpass warrior?"

Old man: "I don't know either. Aren't you a warrior?"

Zhuang Hong: "Ahem, my type of warrior is different from theirs."

The old man sighed and said: "Hey, young man, don't be impulsive later. If you hand over your money obediently, you may be able to save your life. If you save your life, you may still have a chance in the future. If you lose your life, everything is gone. It's just a pain." This old cow I have had for so long..."

He seemed to be convincing Zhuang Hong, but also seemed to be convincing himself.

At this time, the battle off the field became more dangerous, and it could be seen that the girl was gradually dying.

Zhuang Hong secretly said: "That girl is probably going to lose."

As Zhuang Hong expected, the girl's movements were no longer as agile as before, and she raised her sword to block in time when she couldn't dodge.

"when!"

With a crisp sound, the girl's long sword suddenly broke into two pieces, and she herself was blown away by the huge force, hit the tree and fell down.

"Hahaha!"

The bullpen king stepped forward with a mace in his hand and said condescendingly: "Do you know how powerful I am? If you don't become my subordinate, you will die."

The girl spat out bloody spit, pointed the broken sword at the bullpen king and said, "If I become your subordinate, how much will my monthly salary be?"

Bullpen King: "Give me half of what you grab, and the rest is yours."

The girl said in disbelief: "Only half? Why are you so dark? No!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

The bullpen king was slightly stunned, and immediately waved his mace and chased after him: "At most 60%, no more."

He ran extremely fast, like a charging wild boar, and soon blocked the girl again. Other bandits also gathered around and pointed their knives at the girl to prevent her from escaping again.

The bullpen king said domineeringly: "Being my subordinate will cost you at most 60% of the monthly salary. If you don't agree, you will die. Youngsters, tie her back to me."

"Alright bullpen king!"

The girl gritted her teeth and prepared to continue running for her life while holding the broken sword.

At this time, Zhuang Hong had already had a preliminary understanding of their force value and did not want to continue reading, so he said: "Hey."

The bullpen king turned to stare at Zhuang Hong and asked with a sullen face: "Why, you want to be my subordinate? You are not qualified! Also, hand over all the valuable things on your body to save me from having to search the dead man." Once you die."

The bullpen king has not forgotten his job of robbing at this time.

The old man's scalp suddenly became numb. He quietly hid behind the bullock cart and stuffed his son's two cows into the fodder.

Zhuang Hong, with a calm face, jumped off the bullock cart and walked slowly towards the bullpen king and other bandits. He stretched out his right hand and countless filaments shot out from his fingertips. Under the control of 'control', they looked like tentacles. Bypassing the space, he reached directly into the heads of the bandits.

When the bullpen king saw Zhuang Hong coming, he laughed loudly and walked towards Zhuang Hong carrying the mace.

The girl was anxious: "Hey, that kid, you can save your life if you give him money, why are you seeking death?"

Just as she was about to explode, she saw Zhuang Hong tightening his fingers into fists.

"Uh-huh!"

Countless fine threads suddenly emerged from Zhuang Hong's hands, reflecting white light under the mottled light.

The next moment, all the bandits, including the extremely powerful Bullpen King, suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground, twitching wildly. A stream of blood seeped out of their ears and eyes, and they soon lost their breath.

Letting them die painlessly is Zhuang Hong's greatest kindness to the evil people.

At this time, Zhuang Hong slowly retracted his hand and dispersed the thread.

In the three-dimensional world, he is close to invincible.

The girl and the old man were stunned by the sudden scene in front of them.

He seemed to have forgotten his words and just stared blankly at the incredible scene in front of him, his eyes finally locked on Zhuang Hong.

"Who is this person who seems to never wake up? How did he do it just now? And those invisible threads..."

It was Zhuang Hong who broke the silence, pointed to the corpses on the ground and said, "Why don't we do a favor and bury them together? It's not good to leave the corpses in the wilderness like this."

The girl sat on the ground with her back against the tree and slowly adjusted her breathing. After hearing this, she said: "No need to bury them, just let them be eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards."

She looked Zhuang Hong up and down, but no matter how she looked, she didn't see how strong Zhuang Hong was, or even that he was not a warrior.

"Hey, my name is Liu Yueling, what's your name?"

"Zhuang Hong."

Liu Yueling wanted to ask Zhuang Hong why he didn't take action earlier even though he could defeat these bandits. Was it because he wanted to be a hero and save the beauty, but when he thought of Zhuang Hong's unpredictable methods, he held back.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to say: "Are you... a Ksitigarbha warrior? Is the messy energy on your body a deliberate act?"

Zhuang Hong asked: "What is Ksitigarbha warrior? What is Qi?"

Liu Yueling: "???"

Zhuang Hong asked again: "By the way, I was just about to ask you. The guy just said you were a secret warrior. What is a secret warrior? What is the level of a warrior?"

Liu Yueling: "..."

She suspected that Zhuang Hong was pretending to be stupid with her, but looking at the sincere look on his face, it didn't look like he was pretending.

"You really don't know? Then how did you kill these bandits?"

Zhuang Hong was about to reply when he suddenly felt something and hid aside.

A centipede as thick as a water tank suddenly poked its head out of the void and happened to pass by Zhuang Hong.

The many sharp and long hooked teeth on the mouthparts suddenly retracted, shattering a large tree in front of it, and the body was completely revealed in this world.

Its dozens of meters long body circled, turned its head, and with its densely packed limbs squirming, it rushed towards Zhuang Hong again.

Liu Yueling was frightened and backed away continuously. The old man and the two cows who poked their heads out of the grass were stiff and stared blankly at the Centipede.

Zhuang Hong held the dragon tendon sword behind him with his backhand: "It's just a white beast..."

As soon as he stepped on it, mud and grass flew into the air, and he faced the Centipede like a cannonball.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

"puff!"

The Centipede instantly broke into several pieces and fell to the ground, its head struggling to death.

Zhuang Hong stepped forward, pierced the centipede's head with his sword, and then slid it along the carapace. The centipede finally stopped.

He turned to Liu Yueling and others, who were already stunned, and said, "You guys wait for me for a while and I'll be back soon."

After that, he dragged several sections of centipede corpses into the dense forest and bushes.

A gust of breeze blew, making the three of them shiver.

When Zhuang Hong walked out, stroking his belly, he almost couldn't help but burp.

He looked at the frightened three people, spread his hands and said: "Sorry, I didn't pay attention and let it escape. It won't happen next time. By the way, what did you ask me just now?"

Liu Yueling said with a dull expression: "No, it's nothing."

Zhuang Hong said again: "How about we take the bullock cart and drive on, and talk slowly on the way?"

"good."

"It was an accident just now. That insect is nothing. You don't have to be afraid."

"I believe you."
