After running for dozens of miles, Jiang Yuan saw the first relatively intact building, followed by the second and third.
"It's actually a village!"
Jiang Yuan glanced at the village and became wary. The village looked quite intact. There were only two reasons why it could maintain such a high degree of integrity during the beast tide: either everyone was already dead, or there was a powerful person protecting the village!
Jiang Yuan clearly leans more towards the latter of the two guesses.
call out!
The sound of something cutting through the air rang in his ears. Jiang Yuan clenched his left hand in the air and firmly held an arrow in his hand.
But this was only the beginning; arrows were being shot from all directions.
"Is this never going to end?!" Jiang Yuan was annoyed by this inexplicable attack, and his ultimate armor shone brightly.
Countless arrows shot towards Jiang Yuan, but what happened next was astonishing. The arrows collided with the dark gold armor, and then the sound of the arrows breaking was heard.
"Aren't you being incredibly rude!" Jiang Yuan shouted at the villagers, holding an arrow in his hand.
"Leave now, and don't come near our village, or you'll be killed without mercy!"
Someone popped out from the first building. It was a boy who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. His face was very young, but his tone was full of a murderous intent that should not be present in someone his age.
"This isn't a warning, it's a compromise after the challenge failed!" Jiang Yuan walked step by step towards the village. These people would shoot arrows at the slightest disagreement. If it were anyone else, they would have killed them long ago. There would be no need for this warning.
"Shoot an arrow!"
An old man gave the order, and more and more arrows were shot out from the village.
Jiang Yuan paid close attention to the feathered arrow this time, and immediately recognized its extraordinary nature. He then used his Heavenly Eye to further examine it.
"Fifth-tier White-Edged Arrow, Quality: Good, Effects: Penetration, Charge."
This was the result of the identification of the arrows. The white-edged arrows did not surprise Jiang Yuan. What surprised him was that so many white-edged arrows had been shot from this ordinary village. This was a very strange thing.
Clang! The arrows were constantly blocked by the ultimate armor, and as Jiang Yuan approached, the people in the village became more and more terrified.
"Quickly go and invite the chieftain! Tell him there's a freak at the village gate who's not afraid of our arrows!" The old man was terrified, afraid that Jiang Yuan would rush in.
"No need to ask, I'll find it myself!"
Jiang Yuan kicked the large wooden door, and the seemingly sturdy wooden door, which was two zhang tall, was kicked open with just one kick.
"Bandit, take this!" The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who had previously shown his face swung his heavy sword at him.
Left with no other choice, Jiang Yuan activated his innate imperial talent. The moment his overwhelming imperial might appeared, everyone, whether they were shooting arrows or charging forward, was forced to lower their heads by the imperial might.
"Who are you?" The boy's face was filled with disbelief before his sword even came down.
"I just came to ask for directions, is it necessary to react so strongly?" Jiang Yuan said calmly. He hadn't even had a chance to say a word before being surrounded by a group of people. If he hadn't been in a good mood today, these people would have been seriously injured or killed.
Asking for directions?
The group of people, who were feeling overwhelmed and struggling to breathe, all looked on with bewildered expressions.
"Who dares to trespass on my Yanshan Village!" A burly middle-aged man rushed out.
"No need to look anymore, I'm right here!"
Jiang Yuan said confidently.
"What's going on?!" The middle-aged man looked at his kneeling companions with a bewildered expression.
"Chief, this man appeared at our village gate. We told him to leave, but he wouldn't listen, so we fired arrows!" The young man almost forced himself to stand in front of the middle-aged man, enduring the oppressive aura.
"Then how does he live?" The middle-aged man wasn't very bright and said this seemingly foolish question in front of Jiang Yuan.
"We can't kill him! This man's armor is impervious to swords and spears!" the boy said weakly.
Jiang Yuan assessed the strength of the group. They weren't as powerful as he had imagined. Apart from the middle-aged man who had just arrived and possessed 200 points of seventh-tier spiritual energy, most of the others were below the sixth tier. However, there was something that puzzled him: there were many weapon forgers among them.
"I came here to ask for directions, I meant no harm. On the contrary, you guys attacked me without warning, and you'll have to pay a lot of medical expenses for injuring me!" Jiang Yuan said half-jokingly.
"Aren't you one of the bandits from the mountains across the way?" the middle-aged man asked hesitantly.
"Then do you think I should be?" Jiang Yuan countered.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on the middle-aged man's face. Realizing the misunderstanding, he quickly explained, "I'm sorry, we were too nervous and almost hurt you!"
"Where is this?" Jiang Yuan didn't want to waste any more time and went straight to the point.
"Rock Village!"
Jiang Yuan's face twitched upon hearing this answer, and he said helplessly, "Then which city did this place belong to before the cataclysm?"
"Oh, this place used to be under the jurisdiction of the North City, but after the disaster, the North City was too busy to take care of itself, and people from the surrounding areas flocked to the South City safe zone!" The middle-aged man quickly explained, afraid that Jiang Yuan would misunderstand.
"It's Beicheng!" Jiang Yuan was quite surprised. Beicheng was the city where he studied. If it weren't for the catastrophe, he might have spent most of his life in Beicheng, becoming an unknown office worker.
"Brother, what's your name?" The middle-aged man was intrigued by Jiang Yuan's friendly tone and wanted to befriend him. After all, they were the ones who had made a mistake, and the other party was still so calm and easygoing.
"Jiang Yuan!"
He didn't hide it; his mask had been torn to shreds by Bu Yao, so he had no intention of continuing to conceal his identity.
Especially after his divine power reached 182 points after dual cultivation, he was confident that he could stand undefeated in a head-on battle against a ninth-level opponent, so the threat posed by the Southern City warlord to him was negligible.
