Chapter 177: Robbery and Encounter with Real Bandits

The player, whose leg was freed, touched his injured foot and glanced at Yin Xiu who was standing in the distance.

His pockets not only contained supplies, but also healing items. Even though it would be a bit painful if he was actually injured, it would be worth it if he caught a big fish.

He had taken a good look and found that the red fire axe carried on the back of the player in front of him was obviously a weapon prop, which was very rare in low-level dungeons. The knife he bought from the town store was definitely not as good as the weapon props obtained in the dungeon.

Having such a weapon item means that you have a say among the players and can hold real power.

Especially in this dungeon where the player might be hostile, since he was carrying it so blatantly, it's no wonder he took action.

The player's eyes hardened, and with a smile on his face, he reached into his pocket and said, "Thank you, but please wait a moment. I don't have much food, and it's all in my pocket. I'll get it for you."

He calmly pulled the bag over to cover the wound on his leg, then reached in and grabbed the healing item inside, squeezed it gently, and as soon as the wound on his leg healed, he immediately grabbed the knife in the bag.

"Let me see what I can give you?" The player said with a smile, then he pulled the knife out of his pocket and stabbed it into Zhong Mu's abdomen.

A cold light flashed in the air, and with a clang, iron collided with iron. The player's knife stabbed hard on Zhong Mu's fire axe, bending the tip.

He was surprised. He didn't expect this person to react so quickly.

Zhong Mu stared at the person in front of him, somewhat disappointed. "I was trying to save you, but this is how you treat someone who is willing to show you kindness?"

He clenched the fire axe in his hand, his eyes calm and firm, "Since you want to kill me, then in accordance with the principles of our town, I will respond politely."

"It's just... I don't know if you can bear it."

The red fire axe was swung, and a cold light flashed in the player's terrified eyes. The huge swing force and slashing strength could cut off people's limbs. This was the most suitable weapon chosen for him by the small town players after watching his first copy.

The player's hand holding the knife was immediately dropped to the ground, blood gushed out, and he screamed in pain, his face pale and screaming, alarming the people hiding in the surrounding woods.

The barrage was very satisfied. They found this person very strange when they saw him. In such an environment, being caught in a trap, he should have tried his best not to disturb other players and find a way to escape. He actually shouted for help at the top of his lungs, attracting other people. Didn't he just accelerate his own death?

Either it's a fool or it's a trap.

Yin Xiu, who noticed the problem, chose to ignore it. Zhong Mu stopped and tested it. If it was a truly ignorant newcomer, he would just save him. If it was a malicious person with bad intentions... then they would be in trouble.

"This kid is still soft-hearted. It would be enough to chop off his head with the axe. Chopping off his hands would only give him a chance to resist, which could put him in danger."

"As a newbie, I can't bring myself to kill him at first. But the other person wants to kill me, so this will easily give him a chance to kill me. I'll teach him a lesson when he comes back."

"If he had strong self-protection abilities like Boss Ye, he could be more lenient. But when he's still a newcomer, he needs to be decisive and efficient."

Zhong Mu also noticed the criticism from the comments. He humbly learned from it and apologized sincerely, "Okay, I'll remember that. Next time I will definitely chop off his head."

His light words frightened the player who was still hugging his arms and screaming. His face turned pale and he stared at Zhong Mu in horror, unable to even scream, fearing that the other party would suddenly get excited and do this.

I thought he was just a stupid newbie who didn't know the dangers of the dungeon and was swaggering around town carrying weapons and props. How could he be such a vicious creature?

The player's scream just now made the people hiding around him ready to make a move.

The original plan was to have one person attract attention, so that no matter whether the other party directly robbed supplies or asked about the situation, they would have the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

But Yin Xiu had been standing by, paying close attention to his surroundings, and unknowingly made them miss the best opportunity for a sneak attack. Now that one of their own men had his arm brutally chopped off, they could no longer hold back and all got up from the bushes and attacked.

The moment several figures appeared on the opposite side, the murderous intent emanating from them made Yin Xiu instinctively draw his sword.

Yin Xiu did not have the hesitant nature of a newcomer like Zhong Mu. When facing people who came to kill him, he was always decisive.

Once the knife is unsheathed, it will kill the person instantly. A large amount of blood spurting out will only make him feel that his clothes are dirty.

The player who was hugging his arms and waiting for his teammates to rescue him was stunned when he saw his teammates fall to the ground.

Where's the newbie dungeon we were promised? What kind of monsters are these?

As soon as he looked up, he saw Zhong Mu staring at him without blinking.

"You should be thankful that you met me. If it were that person, you would have lost more than just your hand." Zhong Mu spoke sincerely, without any falsehood. If he had provoked Yin Xiu, he would have been lying there like those corpses now.

The person in front of you has both good and bad luck.

"Alright." Seeing Yin Xiu had finished, Zhong Mu unfazed and slung the huge red fire axe behind him. "One of the principles our town follows is that once the reward for a transaction is determined, it must be received no matter what. We can't lose face for the people of this town because you went back on your word. Now I want all the supplies."

He was still easy to talk to and spared the other person's life.

The player was trembling. Without these little supplies, it was no different from being dead on the island! They were not human anymore!

But being alive is better than being dead. The big boss over there who just killed someone is still staring at him. It's not easy to provoke him... Or... just admit defeat...

Are the newcomers in this dungeon so scary?

"Give... I'll give..." The player became listless and shook his pockets sadly, shaking out a small amount of supplies. It was just bait, and there wasn't much.

Zhong Mu squatted down, picked up the supplies, and left the knife behind.

The player was prepared to have all his supplies taken away, but the other party actually left behind weapons.

The player stared blankly at the weapon left behind. "You... aren't you going to take this?"

Was it left there specifically to save his life?

Zhong Mu glanced at the things on the ground and said, "Uh... it doesn't look very good. I'm afraid if you take it, it will take my place..."

As he said this, he tightened the supply bag hanging on his waist and turned around to rummage through the supplies on the bodies of the people who had been killed.

Come on, he's wearing all the high-end gear that the town's big guys collected for him. What weapons and healing items doesn't he have? He's leaving his own golden legendary unused to steal other people's low-level garbage.

He is not stupid.
