"Uncle Qi, did you encounter any predators at that time?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and asked.
“I have met you.”
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Maybe I was just lucky. The predator was also injured... and I escaped."
Although Xiao Lin said it calmly, Xiao Chen could guess that it must not have been that simple at the time.
Even if the plunderer was injured, Uncle Seven must be in a very bad condition when he came out of the no-man's land.
To be able to make Uncle Seven say the word "escape", this plunderer must be stronger than Uncle Seven.
Maybe, it's dangerous.
Maybe, very embarrassing.
Xiao Chen thought about it and didn't ask any more questions.
It's all in the past. There's no point in asking more. Asking more will only make Uncle Seventh more embarrassed.
However, he made note of it.
It would be fine if he didn't meet that plunderer, but if he did, he would have to avenge his seventh uncle.
"Old Xue, you've never been to the no-man's land, right? How do you know they were killing people and robbing?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked.
"Guess."
Xue Chunqiu replied.
"They stayed outside and didn't enter the no-man's land. Other than that, I can't think of anything else."
"All right."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"It's true that people live by the mountains and by the sea, and the local water and soil support the local people... This uninhabited area can even support such a group of plunderers."
"Compared to entering a no-man's land where one is at high risk of death, they may spend more time guarding outside, but the danger is less."
Xiao Lin introduced.
"You can close the store for half a year, and then open it for half a year to make a profit. Maybe there will be a lucky unlucky person who walks out of the no-man's land with a big harvest, and then dies in their hands."
"A lucky unlucky guy...haha, that's quite fitting."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"So they never fail?"
"Of course there are. Some strong men who have walked out of the no-man's land with their own strength, even if they are injured, they are not something they can provoke..."
Xiao Lin took a sip of tea.
"But they are all people who live on the edge of a knife and don't care about their lives. If you meet them, you can only say that you are unlucky! Of course, they also know how to deal with people. It is impossible for them to rush forward and die when they know they are very strong."
"Too."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Haha, I'd like to see them, but unfortunately I have to wait until we get out of the no-man's land."
"No."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
“Maybe we’ll run into them before we go in.”
"Um?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Don't they prey on people coming out of no man's land?"
"Haha, since they are 'plunderers', there are no such things. As long as there is value, they will plunder."
Xiao Lin smiled.
"It's just that those who are lucky enough to walk out of the no-man's land alive are more valuable, and they like them more."
"That means we can meet them before entering the no-man's land?"
Xiao Chen suddenly realized.
"Will they take action at any time?"
"Yes."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"This is clearly a robber."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin.
"Isn't that too rude?"
"In that area, it's all about strength and luck, nothing else."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"Since they are far away from human society, we can no longer use human moral standards to restrain them... They are like a group of wild beasts. No matter whether they are hungry or not, as long as you appear in their sight, they may attack, even if it means biting you to death... instead of eating you."
"That is to say, the danger of no-man's land is not only inside the no-man's land, but also outside the no-man's land."
Xiao Chen looked amused.
"I'm looking forward to meeting them more and more."
"Yes, but as long as you are strong enough, you won't encounter them... Even if you do, you won't be able to tell that they are predators."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"They will only show their fangs if they think you are weak... If you are a congenitally strong person, you will definitely not be disturbed and will enter the no-man's land smoothly."
"It's human nature, or instinct, to bully the weak and fear the strong... Even beasts are the same."
Xiao Chen's amusement became even stronger.
"They don't dare to provoke the innate strongman, but... they won't give up. Instead, they will wait patiently outside the no-man's land. If the innate strongman dies in the no-man's land, it's fine. But if he doesn't die in there and comes out seriously injured, he will still be their prey, and a big fat sheep at that."
Xiao Lin added.
"For them, there are no constraints or rules. Their purpose is clear: to seize resources and opportunities."
"If we don't enter the no-man's land, where are the resources?"
Hao Jian, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask.
"Since they dare to venture into the no-man's land, they must have made some preparations, such as elixirs or something... For them, even a mosquito leg is still meat."
Xiao Lin explained.
"Then why not wait for them to come out of the no-man's land? That way, the chances may be greater."
Hao Jian said again.
"Haha, it's hard to get out alive in a no-man's land."
The one who spoke was Xiao Chen.
"Especially for these weaklings, they are almost certain to die if they go in... If they strike first, they can at least get a small bite. If they enter the no-man's land and die inside, won't they not even get a small bite?"
“…”
Hao Jian suddenly realized and said no more.
"It seems that Hexi is also quite interesting..."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette.
"Maybe there are a lot of spies of the predators. Once the ancient warriors enter here, they will be targeted by them..."
"It's possible."
Xiao Lin nodded.
“That’s what I thought of after I came here.”
"Do they hunt ordinary people?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked.
"It's hard to say. I don't think so. Ordinary people don't have what they want. As for money and other things, they don't care."
Xiao Lin thought for a moment and said.
"In Hexi, they dare not do anything because the Dragon Emperor is here..."
"Really powerful predators would not kill ordinary people. They would not bother to do so."
As an old hand, Lei Gong has his own opinions.
"Old Xue, what do you think?"
"Um."
Xue Chunqiu nodded.
"The notorious reputation of this no-man's land is not only due to the no-man's land itself, but also partly due to their 'contributions'."
Xiao Chen chuckled.
"Many people say that they came to the no-man's land and never went back... In fact, they did not die in the no-man's land, but died at the hands of predators. But the no-man's land has to take the blame."
"Yes."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Hey, I suddenly had an idea..."
Xiao Chen was smoking a cigarette.
"Old Xue, Old Lei, are you interested in doing something?"
"What?"
Xue Chunqiu and Lei Gong looked at Xiao Chen with some curiosity.
"These predators are entrenched outside the no-man's land. They must be very fat... How about we become predators for once and plunder them? They are predators, and we are predators who plunder predators."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Not interested."
Xue Chunqiu shook his head.
"You don't even have the guts to enter a no-man's land. You don't deserve to die by my sword."
"I'm a little interested..."
Lei Gong was playing with the thunder seal.
"If you encounter one, you can play the role of a predator."
"Okay... I hope I can meet a big fat sheep."
Xiao Chen grinned.
"When the time comes, we will have to hide our aura. No, we can't hide it completely. We should just try to become a Huajin. If we are too weak, the real big fat sheep won't look down on us..."
Listening to Xiao Chen's analysis, Xiao Lin had a strange look on his face. He just suddenly thought of it and mentioned the word "predator".
After all, with their camp this time, even if they encountered looters, nothing would happen to them.
Now, this kid has set his sights on the plunderer.
"I hope those predators have better luck and can be more cautious... Otherwise, they will be in big trouble."
Xiao Lin muttered to himself.
"We have so many people. Should we split into two or three? With so many people, what if we scare them away from plundering?"
Xiao Chen said again.
"Haha, aren't you planning on taking advantage of the big fat sheep? Then there's no need to separate. The stronger we are, the stronger and fatter the predators targeting us will become."
Xiao Lin smiled.
"Of course, there is an upper limit. If we all reveal our true state, we will definitely not encounter predators."
"Yeah, then Old Xue and Old Lei, you two should reach the middle stage of Hua Jin, and we'll all be An Jin."
Xiao Chen arranged.
"Pretending to be a senior from the sect and bringing his disciples to the no-man's land for training..."
"good."
Lei Gong was very excited. It was interesting to follow this kid out.
Xue Chunqiu nodded. Although he was not very interested, it didn't matter.
If there really were someone so blind as to want to rob them, there would be no need for him to take action.
"Speaking of predators, when I see the ancient warriors outside now, I feel that they look like predators..."
Xiao Chen looked at the people on the street, and from time to time there were ancient warriors passing by.
"It's not just the no-man's land, there are also many predators from the ancient martial arts world..."
Xiao Lin sighed.
"A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure... This is a world where the strong prey on the weak."
"Old Xue, Old Lei, my seventh uncle is talking to you."
Xiao Chen looked at Xue Chunqiu and Lei Gong.
"When you targeted me, wasn't it because you wanted to steal the Xuanyuan Sword?"
“…”
Xue Chunqiu and Lei Gong's faces turned dark, but they had no way to refute.
The Xuanyuan Sword is not only a magical weapon, but also related to the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan. The temptation is too great.
Let alone them, there were too many people in the martial arts world who were moved by the news...
"I...I didn't. I wasn't talking about you."
Xiao Lin was a little embarrassed, and then glared at Xiao Chen.
"I did have my eyes on the Xuanyuan Blade, but as long as you hand it over obediently, I won't take your life."
Xue Chunqiu looked at Xiao Chen and said calmly.
"If you want the knife but not your life, you can't blame me."
"Old Xue, at least you are not hypocritical."
Xiao Chen picked up the teacup.
"Come on, just because you are not hypocritical, I will toast you a glass too."
“…”
Xue Chunqiu was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Chen.
"It is true that we cannot use the rules of the secular world to demand the ancient martial arts world... In fact, even in the secular world, if there are no laws, it will not work to rely solely on personal morality... Isn't there a saying that morality is not the bottom line of society, but the law is."
Xiao Chen said again.
"However, those who are above the law, what they do is no different from predators...it's just that most people can't get in touch with them."
