30 Looking For Intelligence
Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
The little Xiao Wei couldn’t see a way out of her demise.
This was the cruelty of the Wilderness, it had never been nice to weaklings. The weak had no place here.
Right when she was crying in despair, a low and manly voice sounded in front of her.
“What’s the matter, were you bullied?”
The man was none other than Lu Chen.
While he was asking, his eyes were squinted and emitted a frigid light.
He had no interest in the little Xiao Wei, but there was no way he would let others bully her.
At the same time, if he kept quiet while others took advantage of his property, the barbarians would only look down on him instead of pitying them.
The barbarians had no compassion for the weak.
Therefore, it was normal for the barbarians to settle their disputes over a fight.
“Tell me, who is it?!”
As he said, Lu Chen’s eyes turned cold and his aura flared out like an intimidating lion.
Xiao Wei didn’t even dare to move or even speak in the face of his aura.
But soon, she saw the brown bear on Lu Chen’s shoulder.
Its head was smashed and it looked incredibly horrifying. But when she saw the brown bear, a smile bloomed on her little face
Food, so much food!
Xiao Wei finally came back to her senses after seeing the amount of food Lu Chen brought back with him.
Then again, she quickly grew worried.
“Chen, no one bullied me.”
“I said, tell me. Who is it!?”
Lu Chen thought Xiao Wei was threatened to not tell him anything and this made his eyes even colder.
If I recall correctly, accidental deaths are allowed in The Duel Before The Gods.
While killing intent was rising in his heart, Xiao Wei was shivering in fear.
“I’m… I’m sorry. No one bullied me, really. I was just scared to see our house running out of food, that’s why I cried…”
Lu Chen was dumbfounded by her explanation, and he quickly understood her concerns.
“You are worried that I will chase you out.”
“I’m… I’m sorry.”
Xiao Wei collapsed on the floor out of fear.
Seeing the petite little girl shivering in fear, the sharp Lu Chen quickly understood her fear.
Because she wouldn’t survive the winter without me? No wonder she was afraid.
Sure enough, this world is cruel to the weak!
He shook his head and didn’t punish her for it. His days here in this world had unlocked the wildness in him, he could kill his enemies without hesitation and showed no mercy to those that dared to taunt him.
But the one thing he would never develop a taste for was bullying the weak.
“Stand up. Remember, just do what you are told. I’ll take care of the food supply in the house.”
“I can still afford to spare that little amount of food your small stomach needs.”
“Thank you, thank you, master.”
Seeing that Xiao Wei was already grateful and overjoyed that he didn’t punish her, Lu Chen couldn’t help but understand the plight of the weak in this world.
It was almost as if surviving was a dream to them.
This only made Lu Chen more determined to not become one of them.
I will not stop hunting beasts in the day and Evils at night. Even if I die out there, it’s still better than becoming a weakling and being bullied by others.
He shook his head and didn’t think about it anymore. He said, “Cook two paws. I’ll eat them when I return later.”
After he said that, he left two bear paws on the chopping board. Then, he shredded the bear into two halves and took one half to his neighbor, Uncle Da Zhuang.
He knocked on the doors. Soon, Da Zhuang answered the door and stood in front of him.
Da Zhuang was shocked when he saw half the brown bear on Lu Chen’s shoulder and the battle traces on his body.
“Ah’Chen, aren’t you in the night patrols now? Why did you still go out to hunt? And you even went for a brown bear. This is too dangerous!”
As a hunter himself, Da Zhuang could easily tell that Lu Chen had just returned from the forest after killing the brown bear not too long ago. Da Zhuang was easily able to piece together the story in his mind.
Lu Chen only smiled back and said, “I’ve got no choice. As you know, we are martial practitioners, we eat a lot. The food supplied by the village is just not enough.”
“That is true. But you should be careful. Don’t go for the strong beasts like the tigers, they are dangerous to deal with.”
“Bah, whatever. Go home first and store the food, then come over and I’ll teach you some hunting techniques.”
Da Zhuang was a nice guy, he offered to teach Lu Chen his hunting techniques to help Lu Chen in his hunt.
But after he said that, he realized Lu Chen didn’t even move and his expressions turned frigid.
“What’s the matter? You don’t think my hunting techniques will help you? Ah’Chen, you may be a strong martial practitioner now, but strong is not just enough. It’s not easy to hunt in the forest.”
Lu Chen who just returned from the forest couldn’t agree more to Da Zhuang’s words.
Unless one was exceptionally quick, or even the Barbarian Blood Warriors were too slow to catch up to the beasts living in the forest. Hence, it was necessary to learn some hunting techniques if he wanted to hunt in the forest.
However, Lu Chen had a different agenda this time. Although he also planned to learn from Uncle Da Zhuang’s experience, what he wanted to know might not be what Uncle Da Zhuang thought.
When he saw Uncle Da Zhuang’s cold face, Lu Chen immediately figured out Uncle Da Zhuang must’ve misunderstood his meaning and he quickly explained.
“Uncle Da Zhuang, I am planning to learn from you. But this meat, I’m not bringing back home. This is me paying you back for your deer leg the other day.”
Due to the lack of experience, Lu Chen didn’t know he needed a huge amount of nutrients for his leveling.
If it wasn’t for the deer leg that Uncle Da Zhuang gave to him, he might’ve died that day.
As for Uncle Da Zhuang’s hesitation that day, Lu Chen was very understanding. No matter who it was, they would also hesitate when faced with that situation.
At the same time, food was extremely valuable in the Wilderness. It was only normal for them to keep the food to their own selves. Giving food out was equal to a huge favor.
Therefore, Lu Chen was here to repay his debt to Uncle Da Zhuang.
Da Zhuang was just feeling unhappy as he thought that Lu Chen had become arrogant after becoming strong. But when he learned that Lu Chen was giving him half of the brown bear, the barbarian was truly shocked. freewebno(v)el.com
“You are too polite. Your father and I, we are brothers in arms, how could I not help you? This meat, you bring home. You’ve just become a martial practitioner, you need to eat more for your cultivation.”
“Don’t worry about me. Uncle Da Zhuang is still strong, I can take care of myself.”
As he said, he raised his arms and showed Lu Chen his muscles.
“I’ve already saved half of the brown bear for myself. It’s enough for me.”
Without any plans to turn back, Lu Chen squeezed into the house with brute force and placed the brown bear on the floor.
Then, he shouted, “Sister-in-law, come and prepare the meat!”
After that, Lu Chen said, “I can hunt one now and I can hunt more tomorrow. I am no longer lacking food. Furthermore, Uncle Da Zhuang, you can find food, but the children in the house still need good food!”
Seeing that Uncle Da Zhuang was still trying to reject, Lu Chen quickly said, “Uncle Da Zhaung, take this as a fee. I’m still planning to learn your hunting techniques.”
Da Zhuang saw the determination in Lu Chen’s eyes and he sighed, eventually giving in to Lu Chen’s arrangements and had his wife store the meat.
At the same time, it was rare to see the barbarian having tears of gratification when he saw how much has Lu Chen grown.
“Ah’Chen, you’ve grown into a true man. Your father will be proud of you.”
Lu Chen could only reply him with a smile as he didn’t really remember much about his father.
Fortunately, Lu Chen was saved from the awkward conversation.
After Da Zhuang agreed to take the meat, a 180cm tall and muscular woman literally rushed out from her room and scooped the meat up from the floor. She was Da Zhuang’s wife.
At the same time, there were a few children that were following behind her cheering happily.
Every barbarian family had their own children and when he saw them smiling happily, Da Zhuang also smiled.
“These brats, they’ve made a mess of themselves in front of you.”
“It’s fine.”
Lu Chen shook his head. Then, he sat down on a big rock with Da Zhuang and asked Da Zhuang for his hunting techniques.
Da Zhuang was a really good hunter, he taught Lu Chen on how to set up traps and how to track beasts.
However, Lu Chen wasn’t really that interested in the topic. After some time, he finally spoke up about his true intention.
“Uncle Da Zhuang, I’ve heard that there are also strong beasts, those that have special powers. Do you know any of them nearby? What are their powers and how are they dealt with?”
That’s right, the beasts and their powers nearby the village. Other than repaying Uncle Da Zhuang’s help to him, this was the true reason that Lu Chen came for.
