After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 114 The First Ambush (Fourth Update)

Chapter 114: The First Ambush (Fourth Update)

Master's luck is always not very good, this is also for balance, just like how fishing novices and mahjong novices are more likely to receive novice gift packages.

Zhang Chi's luck in this round is even worse. He only picked up twenty-three fragments, and ten of them are water attribute.

Unbelievable!

He really feels like he's working for someone else.

Bringing back so little, it's a bit embarrassing.

He thought thirty-six was already a lot before, but with Chen Runyu having so many, doesn't it make him, the eldest senior brother, look bad?

No, he must win this round!

Coincidentally, Zhang Chi was wondering how to collect more fragments on this trip when he happened to see another exit of the Spirit Communication City.

This path should lead to the Talisman Treasure Sect.

What's even more coincidental is that he saw someone he knew.

The owner of the unfinished product store, who asked him to buy a bow and arrow lion at an exorbitant price and mocked him for being poor.

Zhang Chi never seeks revenge overnight. Although it has been dark all day, it can't be considered overnight.

There's a saying that enemies often cross paths. Since they've encountered each other, he must regain his dignity no matter what.

Zhang Chi concealed his aura and lurked.

He had never used a torch because Bai Su was leading the way, so it didn't matter if he couldn't see clearly.

Moreover, being in the darkness himself made it easier to spot sources of light.

Dai Wei is an outer disciple of the Talisman Treasure Sect. Outer disciples have some connections in the Talisman Treasure Sect, but they cannot pass the Talisman Treasure Sect's assessment. They use some means to obtain the identity of a Talisman Treasure Sect disciple and do business in the Spirit Communication City.

There are many outer disciples like him.

It's good to lean against a big tree for shade. Although many of the profits have to be given to the big shots of the Talisman Treasure Sect, his income surpasses many others.

Moreover, relying on his connections, he became the designated shop for Talisman Treasure Sect's purchases. Over the years, he has made a lot of money, even more than many formal disciples of the Talisman Treasure Sect.

A few years ago, there was a female disciple of the Talisman Treasure Sect who was not very successful. He used money to clear the way and persuaded her to become his concubine.

Therefore, being born in a humble background is not a shame. Only by being good at scheming can one rise to power.

Dai Wei doesn't think that the Talisman Treasure Sect will not be able to suppress this sudden change. As long as the Talisman Treasure Sect remains stable, it is an opportunity to make a fortune.

So, Dai Wei took the opportunity to raise prices and earned a lot of spirit stones.

Then, he used the spirit stones to recruit many thugs.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, he also collected about ten fragments of Daoist techniques.

However, there are too many ruthless people in the city.

It can be said that everyone is out there to make a living, and they are all tough.

When these tough people clash, even those slightly weaker will die.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Dai Wei made a decisive decision. He took the money, treasures, and decided to seek refuge in the Talisman Treasure Sect.

He promised his subordinates that they would be safe once they reached the Talisman Treasure Sect.

They hurriedly left the city on this journey and finally made it out.

Other people saw that their group was too large in number and were afraid to attack them recklessly, fearing that others would take advantage of it, so they managed to escape safely.

But the people in the city have learned their lesson and quickly closed the city gates. Others who want to leave the city easily can no longer do so.

Dai Wei, who had left the city, naturally became arrogant.

This trip went too smoothly. There was no loss of money, treasures, or goods, and he even obtained some fragments.

These will be offered to the Talisman Treasure Sect, and he will definitely receive the protection of the Talisman Treasure Sect.

"Brothers, faster! Once we reach the Talisman Treasure Sect, I guarantee that you will all be prosperous and wealthy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, fog suddenly appeared ahead.

Dai Wei felt anxious and quickly shouted, "Be careful, it's a..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was already dead.

This made the others even more panicked, and they began to scatter and flee.

But in the thick fog, even though they held torches, they couldn't distinguish the direction and could only run around in confusion.

Before long, the thick fog dispersed, leaving behind a ground covered in corpses.

"You really killed them all?"

Gu Youyou exclaimed. She thought Zhang Chi would spare the followers and women, but Zhang Chi mercilessly killed them all.

"If I don't kill them, wouldn't it be too sentimental?"

Zhang Chi indifferently rode on Bai Su, counting the spoils of this trip.

They collected thirty fragments and didn't bother counting the spirit stones. Zhang Chi found them bothersome and temporarily buried them in a pit.

He was a professional at burying treasures.

He only took a bow and arrows as weapons. Now that he had spell fragments, mortal methods were still useful. This was because all those who could cast spells relied on external objects.

Everyone's perception abilities were still at the level of mortals. In that case, bows and arrows could still be effective.

On the way back, Gu Youyou expressed her astonishment at Zhang Chi's ruthlessness. Zhang Chi didn't pretend in front of her and said directly, "Everyone is a potential enemy, including those around us. Since I've taken action, why show mercy? If I were to show mercy, others would know about the fighting style in the thick fog. Only dead people are the safest."

Gu Youyou was speechless.

This kid would eventually fall into the demonic path.

He was calm and ruthless to the point of being terrifying.

What was even more terrifying was that when he saw Chen Runyu upon his return, he acted as if nothing had happened.

"How was the harvest this time?"

"I found sixty-six pieces, forty of which are wood fragments and have already been fused."

Zhang Chi: "......"

Including what he found and a little gift from nature, he had a little over fifty pieces, mainly water and fire, with only a small amount of earth and metal.

If he continued with this configuration, his metal and earth wouldn't be able to restrain Chen Runyu's water and wood.

Elemental restraint also had its limits.

If the fire was too strong, it could evaporate the water. If the water was too strong, it could wash away the earth.

"Senior brother, let's exchange. Your Great River Sword Technique is more powerful."

Chen Runyu attempted to give Zhang Chi the strongest water attribute fragment. The stronger one becomes, the stronger they can become.

Looking at the clear foolishness in her eyes, Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh.

This silly child, it was completely unnecessary for him to be on guard against her.

"Take it. Only when you're safe can I be at ease."

"Senior brother..."

Chen Runyu's eyes were sparkling with stars. Obviously, her love-stricken brain was beyond help.

But if you think about it from another perspective, Chen Runyu's deep infatuation wasn't entirely her fault.

With Zhang Chi's teasing, how many people could resist?

Qing Mian, who was once a cold and ruthless assassin, didn't she also fall?

At this moment, Zi Mian suddenly realized the root cause of the problem.

"Let's rest for a while. You've all worked hard. Let's eat something."

"Ah, I'm really hungry!"

Chen Runyu was somewhat surprised.

Cultivators rarely felt hungry spontaneously because they usually regulated their bodies. Even if they were hungry, they would automatically consume spiritual energy to counteract the hunger in their stomachs.

Zhang Chi didn't mention eating, and Chen Runyu had almost forgotten about it.

At this moment, many people in the city also hadn't realized this.

When they realized they were hungry, a new crisis would erupt once again...
