"Brother, stop talking nonsense. Those people came here just to cause trouble for me." As he spoke, Ruan Xi and Ruan Ping were surrounded by those tall men.
Ruan Xi was not too afraid. Even though his physical strength was still insufficient, his wood-related ability could still be used to the fullest.
Thinking of his wood-type ability, Ruan Xi subconsciously pondered it. It seemed... perhaps he had reached the conditions for an upgrade. His planting tasks had always been completed quite smoothly.
At the moment this thought came to his mind, Ruan Xi felt something in his body swell up, but then returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Ruan Xi naturally thought it was his illusion.
After all, his current situation is still a bit bad.
"Who are you? Why are you surrounding us?" Ruan Ping was so focused on protecting Ruan Xi that he had no time to be afraid. He roared out such powerful words that Ruan Xi almost couldn't help laughing.
"superior!"
Unfortunately, those people ignored Ruan Ping at all. The leader gave a command and the group rushed forward. They cleverly avoided the "villain dies because of talking too much" joke.
"Assholes! How dare you!" Seeing these people rushing up without any regard for anything and clearly starting to fight without saying anything, he suddenly became even angrier and rushed forward with his fists raised. No matter whether he could win or not, he would not lose in momentum at all.
But when it comes to fighting, Ruan Ping is obviously not even an amateur. He has a tall stature and a lot of strength, but he has no rules at all when fighting. He is no match for those people at all. The so-called blocking is just a charge, and a not very valuable charge at that. He passes by the enemy in seconds. When he looks back, Ruan Xi is already surrounded in the middle, and several fists as big as bowls are hitting Ruan Xi's face directly.
"Xiao Xi!" Ruan Ping was so anxious that he rushed back like a madman, punching and kicking whoever he caught, and bumping left and right, trying to create a way for rescue. Unfortunately, he lacked practical experience, and he was exhausted and sweating but couldn't successfully break out. He was so anxious that he started howling.
As a result, when he looked up, he saw Ruan Xi fighting five people at the same time with ease...
"Ah!" Just as he was thinking this, Ruan Xi was hit hard on the left side of his face by a punch. He staggered back a step, and then someone kicked him from behind. Seeing that he was about to be kicked in the back, Ruan Ping shouted anxiously, but Ruan Xi calmly dodged the kick with a step, then turned around and punched the man who was trying to sneak attack him, hitting him hard on the nose. The man was beaten so hard that his nose bled profusely. He reflexively covered his nose and took several steps back, tears coming out.
This series of actions was completed in an instant, as smooth as flowing water, which made Ruan Ping, a spectator, couldn't help but feel his blood boiling.
In fact, before the apocalypse in his previous life, Ruan Xi was just a young man with relatively good physical fitness. But the apocalypse has come, and the surviving humans may face life-threatening dangers at any time and anywhere. If they cannot become stronger, being eliminated is only a matter of time.
Ruan Xi didn't want to die, so he could only push himself to become stronger and stronger. In addition, he had the blessing of wood-type superpowers. To a certain extent, he could even become a warrior who would never be exhausted. Of course, this was the most ideal state. After all, superpowers would also be exhausted at some point.
After being reborn into this world, although the original owner's physical fitness was terrible, he was still lucky enough to have the blessing of wood-type supernatural powers, so he was naturally adept at training.
Now, the time has finally come to verify the results of the training.
As a result, Ruan Xi was naturally satisfied. In less than two months, he transformed the original owner's useless physique into the current physique that barely reached the average level. This was definitely a reward for his persistence in training, and he must record this in his own merit book.
Ruan Xi was not a man who would act recklessly. Even if he could barely defeat these big men who suddenly appeared, the price he would have to pay would be relatively high. Ruan Xi had no interest in such a loss-making business.
So, I can only find help!
Who else could Ruan Xi help? Da Shu, of course! It couldn't possibly be Ruan Ping, who had zero fighting experience, right? Ruan Xi immediately ruled him out.
However, we can't just ignore it.
Ruan Xi sighed inwardly, and at the same time continued to calmly bring the battlefield back to Dashu's territory.
And then, haha, naturally there is nothing else.
“Ahhhhhh… What is this?! Help…”
“Ahhh…”
“Ahhhhhhh…”
There were endless screams, and Ruan Ping was completely stunned. He looked up stupidly and saw that he was swept into the air by tree roots, leaves and other things, and was swung up and down rapidly. Just watching it made him feel extremely painful. Ruan Xi, who had been fighting fiercely with others just now, was now "sitting" in the air, leisurely admiring the enemy's embarrassed posture.
Ruan Ping: "..." Is he hallucinating?
After Ruan Xi had seen enough of the enemy's show, Ruan Ping finally came back to his senses. He looked up at Ruan Xi in mid-air and called out softly with a dry throat, as if he was afraid that if he called out a little louder, Ruan Xi would be scared.
"Xiaoxi, are you okay?"
Ruan Ping's voice was so light and soft that it had never been heard before. He was afraid that if he behaved in the slightest bit, it would bring trouble or even danger to Ruan Xi. After all, he had never seen a tree behave like this. Was he trying to protect Ruan Xi, or did he want to help Ruan Xi solve his troubles and then take Ruan Xi back as a food reserve?
The more Ruan Ping thought about it, the more frightened he became. He subconsciously ran forward, but was blocked by an invisible wall. Ruan Ping could not penetrate the barrier in the forest no matter what.
"I'm fine, they are the ones in trouble." The ending was already obvious, and Ruan Xi was very satisfied with it.
The big tree put Ruan Xi down on the ground, but refused to leave him at all. It stretched out its rope and kept it loosely on Ruan Xi, as if it could take Ruan Xi away at any time. Ruan Ping almost felt scared when he saw it.
"Xiao Xi, what is that thing? Will it hurt you?" Ruan Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice after Xiao Xi took the initiative to walk closer.
"It's okay, he won't hurt me."
Ruan Xi changed the subject immediately after he finished speaking, "Brother, what's going on?"
It is obvious that the enemy can only find Ruan Ping by following him. It is an obvious conspiracy, but it is even more obvious that Ruan Ping would not do such a thing.
"I...I...I...I'm stupid..." Ruan Ping had gone out early this morning to buy groceries. He hadn't gone far when he saw someone setting up a small stall on the road. As soon as he approached, two men approached, oblivious to the surroundings, discussing how to deal with Ruan Xi. Could Ruan Ping tolerate this? He definitely couldn't, so...
Ruan Xi held his forehead helplessly, not knowing how to evaluate Ruan Ping.
Seeing Ruan Xi's expression, no matter how naive Ruan Ping was, he realized that something was wrong. After frowning and thinking for a long time, he finally came up with the answer.
"I... I was deceived, wasn't I? Those two people said those words deliberately for me to hear..." Ruan Ping finally realized the mistake he had made. He lowered his head in an instant, blaming himself so much that he wanted to slap himself twice.
"yes."
Although it was a bit cruel, Ruan Xi still responded directly without any euphemism, because he was afraid that if he was euphemistic, his naive elder brother would misunderstand him again, which would be very troublesome.
"Xiao Xi, I'm sorry..." After blaming himself, Ruan Ping quickly apologized. He was so anxious that his eyes were slightly red, which showed that he was really anxious.
"Don't blame you. These people came just for me. I caused the trouble, so of course I have to take responsibility for it." Ruan Xi changed the subject again, making Ruan Ping confused. In the end, he nodded stupidly several times, and the meeting between the two brothers finally ended.
"Brother, remember? I'm in this forest and I'm safe." Of course, the premise is that no one at home will cause him trouble.
"Then... then I'll go back now. I won't cause you any trouble..." Even though he already understood that Ruan Xi was not angry, Ruan Ping still blamed himself. He kept muttering "I won't cause you any trouble" and turned to leave.
How could Ruan Xi let him leave like this? This would definitely leave a psychological trauma!
"Brother, I will stay here and study all the courses in the basic education stage by myself before the joint examination next year. My time is very urgent and I can't waste any of it, so... I'll leave everything at home to you. Please help me spend more time with my grandmother." Just adding the two words "help me" immediately made Ruan Ping energetic, and he even became a little excited in an instant.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of grandma! Xiaoxi, just focus on your studies. You are so smart and brave, you will definitely pass the exam!" Ruan Ping said firmly, as if he had personal experience.
Ruan Xi couldn't help but tease, "Brother, do you know what a joint exam is?"
Ruan Ping: “…”Brother and the like are really annoying!
"I'm going back and I will take good care of my grandmother!" Ruan Ping chose to ignore the question, turned around and ran away with a stern face, without any trace of loss or frustration.
Watching Ruan Ping's receding figure disappear from his sight, the faint smile on Ruan Xi's face gradually disappeared. He turned his head to look at the man who was hanging in the middle of the tree and had been knocked unconscious by the tree, and uttered a low sneer.
Is this the first chin-down the Great Elder gave him? Not so good!
Ruan Xi knew that this would definitely not be the last time. Although he told Ruan Ping that he would stay in the mountains to study more, he could not completely abandon the Ruan family. Every six or seven days, he would still go home to show up, which was also a signal to the Great Elder that there was an opportunity.
Otherwise, if he stayed by the tree and didn't come out, who could do anything to him?
It’s a pity that his big tree can’t send him to other planets directly. Otherwise, why would he go through so much trouble and keep teasing the great elder’s tiger whiskers?
Still have to keep doing it!
