The people opposite were all stunned, and someone exclaimed, "A spatial artifact!"
Spatial artifacts are extremely rare; people usually only hear about them and rarely see them.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly said, "I have a lot of food. You can exchange it for as many magical artifacts as you have."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, clearly taken aback by this tone.
"You have a lot of food in your ring?"
"Of course, I'm just afraid you don't have enough tricks."
Before the middle-aged man could speak, the young woman behind him hurriedly interjected, "We have many, Fatty, quickly show him the magical artifacts in your bag."
The middle-aged man frowned, then took off his backpack and opened it.
You can see more than a dozen strange artifacts of various sizes inside.
"Okay, I'll switch with you."
Xia Tianqiong glanced at them, then waved her hand again, throwing out twenty or thirty roasted chicken legs and steamed buns.
The five people opposite him looked pleased, thinking that this person was really easy to talk to.
Roasted chicken legs and steamed buns were tossed over, and they quickly reached out to catch them, only to find a few green fruits among them.
They thought it was some kind of fruit, and their smiles deepened, making them feel even more that Xia Tianqiong was a good person.
The middle-aged man standing in front raised his hand to catch a green fruit.
But suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
He sensed an extremely intense nether energy emanating from that small fruit.
"Beware of danger!"
As he spoke, a red light suddenly appeared on his body, enveloping him completely. He then turned and pounced on the young woman.
The others were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, they heard a series of loud booms.
Dust flew everywhere, and two people were blown away on the spot, their bodies mutilated and they died instantly.
The red light emanating from the middle-aged man was a protective sorcery; he was unharmed, and the woman he was protecting was also unharmed.
The other survivor was badly injured, his body covered in blood and gore.
"You bastard, why did you ambush us?"
The middle-aged man, his face full of anger, turned to look at Xia Tianqiong, only to see him holding a thick hemp rope and being pulled into the air.
Xia Tianqiong looked at him coldly, "You've been exposed!"
The middle-aged man frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about? We made a fair deal with you, but you killed someone instead."
The young woman looked up at Xia Tianqiong with a venomous look in her eyes, "Why waste words with him? Just kill him."
She suddenly raised her hand and pointed into the distance, and a large ball of water condensed out of thin air around Xia Tianqiong, enveloping his entire body.
"Damn it, I'll drown you!"
No sooner had he said that than a sudden change occurred.
The large water balloon bounced back sharply and fell quickly, enveloping the woman.
The woman suddenly couldn't breathe!
Fortunately, this was her own trickery; she quickly controlled the water sphere to disperse, thus avoiding suffocation.
The middle-aged man's face darkened; he knew there was no point in pretending any longer.
Where did we give ourselves away?
Summer Qiong held the Heavenly Rope and was pulled into the sky.
After reaching its highest point, it traces a long arc before falling dozens of meters away.
Before landing, throw the rope again, and like swinging on a swing, quickly move away from this place.
The middle-aged man wanted to ask where he had given himself away, but he couldn't be bothered to answer.
If the opponent hadn't possessed defensive trickery, making them immune to exploding walnuts, he wouldn't have run away; instead, he would have blown them all up.
Xia Tianqiong sensed something was off when the five people first appeared.
The uniforms those two were wearing didn't fit quite right!
One had a protruding belly that almost burst open the buttons, while the other was loose and obviously a size too big.
He suspected that the other party's uniforms were stolen, not their own.
However, it's just suspicion; there's no evidence.
Later, he deliberately revealed that the ring was a spatial artifact, just to test it out.
Sure enough, their gazes toward Xia Tianqiong were filled with surprise and murderous intent, especially that woman, who made almost no attempt to hide it.
The most crucial thing is the dozen or so mysterious artifacts in the backpack.
Mountain bandits don't drop any magical artifacts when they kill monsters, or even anything at all.
If they want to obtain the magical artifact, they have no choice but to kill the villagers and snatch it from them.
Therefore, Xia Tianqiong concluded that these five people were no good.
They probably saw that he had killed so many spider monsters and felt that he was quite powerful, so they didn't attack him directly. Instead, they planned to wait until he lowered his guard before launching a sneak attack.
Unfortunately, they didn't expect that Xia Tianqiong was even less ethical than they were.
They killed someone without even suspecting them.
They would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
Next, Xia Tianqiong continued on his way to find the Golden Horned Demon Bull, which was the second leveling spot he had chosen.
After killing two people, he felt a surge of heat erupt from his body, flowing through his limbs and bones.
Strength, speed, reaction time, and other physical characteristics have all been significantly improved.
He knew this meant an upgrade.
While I was swinging around in the sky, I took out a mirror and looked at myself. Sure enough, the words above my head had changed.
They went from being "ordinary villagers" to "strong villagers".
Once he reaches the second leveling spot, he should be able to level up again, and then he can start challenging the village chief's quest.
