Chapter 51 Passive Counterattack, Will and Testament Sent
His knife plunged fiercely towards Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan was prepared and immediately dodged to the side, putting away his wooden stick and switching to a longsword, which he then slashed at the young man's body.
The young man panicked and quickly dodged.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
The long sword slashed across his leg like the wind.
"Ah!" he screamed, his leg buckled, and he fell to the ground, blood gushing from his leg.
"Spare me, boss, spare me!" he cried out in a hoarse voice, his face pale with panic.
Ji Xinghan placed his longsword on his shoulder and asked coldly, "An iron mine? Really?"
The young man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, there really is! I'll take you there now!"
Ji Xinghan paused for a moment, then asked in the small group chat, "Song Zhuo, has anyone mentioned pickaxes in the last two hours?"
Song Zhuo: "Let me think... Oh, right, someone asked to borrow a pickaxe an hour ago. He's been calling for a while now. His name is... Yang Fei!"
Yang Fei?
Isn't he just the one who's on good terms with Ji Wenhua?
Is this person Yang Fei?
Ji Xinghan sized him up.
Unfortunately, it's hard to tell. When two players meet, they don't know each other and won't know each other's IDs or names unless they knew each other before!
Ji Xinghan asked, "What's your name?"
The young man's eyes darted around slightly: "My name is Wang Daqiang..."
Ji Xinghan dismissed him, saying, "No need to say anything!"
It's obvious they're lying!
Since Yang Fei is urgently asking for a pickaxe in the chat channel, it means he must have found an iron mine. Regardless of whether this person is Yang Fei or not, we can ask him to help us find it.
Iron is a good thing!
Ji Xinghan pointed his sword: "Give me the woodcutter's knife and lead the way. If you don't get to the iron mine in twenty minutes, you're dead!"
The young man nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, it's very close by, only a dozen minutes away."
He reluctantly handed the wood-chopping knife to Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan looked back and realized that Xiao Dingdang had disappeared again.
She had the young man lead the way and followed behind.
He then informed Jin Baiwan, "I've sent you the lake's coordinates. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving for a bit."
Jin Baiwan's panting voice came through: "Hey, I'll be there soon. You don't know, I ran into a toad on the way and almost died there."
Ji Xinghan didn't pay attention, closed the chat, and focused on the young man in front of him.
After walking for only a few minutes, they reached the foot of the mountain. The young man began to climb, and Ji Xinghan continued to follow.
After climbing for seven or eight minutes, the young man was drenched in sweat and his face was pale.
It was hot, and his leg hadn't been bandaged. Blood dripped down his leg, flowing all the way.
He was almost anemic.
He struggled to stand up against the large rock and said, "Okay... right there... right there, look!"
He pointed upwards, and Ji Xinghan saw a hole.
Suddenly, a fierce glint flashed in the young man's eyes, and he gave a hard push. The large rock next to him rolled down and hit Ji Xinghan squarely.
The two were very close, and in the blink of an eye, the big rock was in front of Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan had been keeping an eye on the young man out of the corner of his eye. When he saw the stone coming down, he quickly dodged to the side.
At the same time, the longsword pierced through.
The young man was shocked. He clumsily dodged, his seriously injured leg twisted, and a small stone under his feet rolled. He cried out in alarm and fell forward, landing on the rolling boulder.
He unconsciously hugged the stone.
The big rock rolled him around once, then crushed him underneath, and continued rolling down.
"Ah!" A scream rang out.
Ji Xinghan took two quick steps and saw the young man staring wide-eyed, motionless.
A dead branch pierced his neck.
He's dead!
[Yang Xu eliminated!]
[Yang Xu automatically sent a will to his closest relatives before he died!]
Did you retrieve the supplies from Yang Xu's backpack?
Ji Xinghan frowned slightly. A person can send a will after death, and it's sent automatically?
Could it be...?
Never mind, let's grab the supplies first!
Ji Xinghan: Yes
[Since your side is on the defensive, you can collect 50%-70% of the supplies in Yang Xu's backpack!]
[Received 2 oranges, 2 breads, 4 bottles of mineral water, 1 fire crystal, 5 space crystals, and 1 iron axe blueprint!]
Oranges: A sweet fruit with a hint of sweetness, freshly picked, and absolutely delicious!
[Iron Axe Blueprint: Can be used to craft a standard iron axe at a crafting table; Required materials: 15 pieces of iron sheet, 15 pieces of plank!]
Ji Xinghan glanced at it.
Yang Xu actually has 5 space crystals, he's struck it rich!
Space crystals are extremely rare; she had tried to collect them, but players had almost none.
Yang Xu actually has 5; I wonder what kind of extraordinary encounter he had.
There's also a blueprint for an iron axe, which she absolutely needs.
She guessed that Yang Xu must have just obtained the blueprints for the iron axe and hadn't had time to make it yet, which was why it was so cheap for her.
After packing up his things, Ji Xinghan took a few steps uphill and entered the cave.
The cave entrance is quite large, so the light inside is still decent.
After walking only a few steps, she saw pieces of ore embedded in the blue boulder.
This mine is surprisingly safe; we can dig right away. That's great!
Just as Ji Xinghan took out her pickaxe, someone suddenly sent her a very urgent private message.
It's Jian Lin.
Jian Lin: "Ji Xinghan, quickly check the chat channel!"
Um?
Ji Xinghan immediately opened the chat channel, which was very lively, with one person in particular expressing grief and indignation.
It was an acquaintance, Yang Fei.
Yang Fei: "Ji Xinghan, you killed my brother! Did you?"
Yang Fei: "How could you be so vicious? My brother is only twenty-two years old, he's still a child!"
Yang Fei: "Ji Xinghan, you murderer!"
Ji Xinghan quickly realized that Yang Xu was Yang Fei's younger brother!
No wonder Yang Fei was the one borrowing the pickaxe earlier; he must have been borrowing it for Yang Xu, who had probably just discovered the iron ore at that time!
But she had just killed Yang Xu, so how did Yang Fei know?
Oh, right, Yang Xu's suicide note!
Just now, Yang Xu sent a will to his closest relatives before he died!
Jian Lin had already asked on her behalf: "Yang Fei, are you sick? How do you know Yang Xu is dead? And why are you so sure that Ji Xinghan killed him?"
Yang Fei: "My brother's name has been erased from the internet. Also, I received his suicide note!"
Yang Fei angrily captured a screenshot with two prompts on it:
You have received a suicide note from your beloved relative, Yang Xu!
[Yang Xu's suicide note: Brother, Ji Xinghan killed me, sob sob sob, I died so tragically, you must avenge me!]
Players were immediately outraged after seeing the picture:
"Oh my god, these two are game hints, so after killing someone, will the game immediately notify their closest relatives?"
"What a cunning setup!"
"The game is designed to make players seek revenge!"
"No, am I the only one terrified? Are the players already killing each other?"
"Heh, naive. This has been going on for a while. Otherwise, why do you think people on the regional channel would disappear one by one?"
"There are probably still relatively few people being killed, because the chances of players meeting each other are very small right now!"
Yang Fei was furious: "Yes, Ji Xinghan encountered my brother, so he killed him!"
Ji Wenhua: "Hehe, I told you long ago that Ji Xinghan is vicious, now you believe me, right?"
Yang Fei: "Ji Xinghan, you deserve to die!"
Ji Wenhua: "Ji Xinghan is a murderous maniac!"
Their words were too much for some kind-hearted players to bear:
"This is real murder, can you really bring yourself to do it?"
"Yeah, does that mean if you encounter someone in the wild, you have to kill them? That's terrifying!"
"Murder? I can't even imagine it, and I certainly wouldn't dare!"
“Ji Xinghan is so strong and kills people at will, I dare not touch her.”
Ji Wenhua: "Therefore, everyone should avoid making deals with her. The more powerful she is, the more dangerous it is for us!"
Jian Lin couldn't hold back any longer: "Yang Fei, how can you be sure that Yang Xu didn't attack Ji Xinghan on his own initiative?"
Ge Xiaochuan: "Exactly, it's like Yang Xu is some kind of good person!"
Song Zhuo suddenly said, "Yang Xu spoke three times in the chat channel. The first time, he flirted with Yan Miaomiao; the second time, he verbally abused Qi Yunshan; the third time, Ji Wenhua killed a girl and obtained anti-inflammatory needles. Yang Xu was very envious and hoped to meet someone like that, kill him, and steal all his supplies!"
Jian Lin: "My God, Song Zhuo, you're my god!"
