Chapter 619 - Luck?
One man among them appeared to be chasing the girl of his dreams into a room and in the end, he woke up after being splashed by cold water.
Moreover, he did not even sense that he was inside an illusion. He only got angry and began cursing, “F***! Which b****** splashed water on me? Come out, I will kill you!”
Well, it was a very typical curse.
However, at this time, Wei Xiao Bei’s fists already smashed into the water.
At that instant, the pure power of the blast was more than 30 tons.
The lake surface suddenly burst as if a deep-water bomb had just exploded. In the blink of an eye, the surface turned into a huge wave, sweeping in all directions.
The initial splash that Wei Xiao Bei caused had already woken up the people from the illusion.
The majority of the people already sensed that something was wrong with them and that it had something to do with Lake Cui. Thus, they immediately distanced themselves from the water. Only a few people were still in the state of pleasure that the illusion gave them and began cursing. In the end, when the huge wave splashed down on them, they were dragged into the lake.
These people were so shocked that their souls almost flew out of their bodies. They struggled in the water, but at this time, Wei Xiao Bei kept punching the water, causing the waves to surge continuously.
Those Fiendish Man Fish that attempted to swim away were shaken dizzy and all floated to the surface of the water.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei finally stopped and began killing the fish, before storing them.
There were more than 1,000 of these fish, making him very happy about his harvest.
Naturally, these Fiendish Man Fish only gave him around 1,000 Evolution Points, but he considered this as extra profit.
The people who had been cursing and shouting now had bellies full of water as they began to sink.
Wei Xiao Bei was in a good mood after saving his Apprentice Brother, so he did not bother with these people and just brought them to shore.
On the contrary, these people were extremely frightened once they woke up. They could ignore the previous illusion, but the continuous giant waves from the lake made them think that there was a giant beast inside. Some even thought that a Dragon had appeared in the lake and they began to kneel on the ground to pray for their safety.
If a Dragon had not appeared, then why would there be such huge waves.
Thus, even if the lake had calmed down, they did not dare rush into action indiscriminately. In fact, they were prepared to turn around and run away.
Under this tense atmosphere, Wei Xiao Bei, who had just walked out of the lake, felt that these people were quite stupid.
“Wh-what is happening?”
Some of the people had thought that Wei Xiao Bei was a lucky guy and might have obtained some treasures from the true Dragon or monster under the lake.
Naturally, if they thought it over carefully, they would notice that it was unreasonable to call Wei Xiao Bei a lucky guy.
In any case, no one would have thought that the waves were caused by Wei Xiao Bei.
Additionally, some of them even thought that he was a hero who attacked the giant monster in the lake and saved them. No matter what, they considered him to be bold and courageous.
Just like that, these people’s gaze toward him changed.
Some were admiring him, some were envious, while some were worshipping him.
Wei Xiao Bei ignored their gazes. He was like a giant elephant ignoring ants.
After throwing the people on the grass, they began spitting out the water that they had swallowed.
They were originally unconscious, but they had been woken up after being roughed up. However, the feeling of drowning was very unpleasant. After being tossed, these people remained on the ground, unable to get up.
Wei Xiao Bei waved his hand, causing the White Mist Draconic Horse to descend, which astonished these people even more.
They all felt danger coming from the Horse made of Mist.
At this time, Zhang Zhi Long’s injuries were mostly healed, only the knife wound on his abdomen wasn’t healed.
This could not be helped. Zhang Zhi Long’s recovery ability was far inferior to Wei Xiao Bei. He would perhaps need three days before fully recovering.
If it was Wei Xiao Bei, this kind of knife wound would heal in just five minutes at most, even without medicine.
“Who is your leader?”
When Zhang Zhi Long jumped off the horse, Wei Xiao Bei turned to the people and asked.
There was no doubt that as time passed more people were being dragged into the Dust World. This was the truth that Wei Xiao Bei understood.
Thus Wei Xiao Bei needed more information to judge the situation.
Leader?
Everyone looked at each other in the eyes.
There was no doubt from their expression that there was no one among them that could be called their leader.
“Never mind. You, come here.”
Wei Xiao Bei looked at the most fierce among them and called him over.
Under normal situations, these kinds of people thought highly of themselves. However, once they encountered someone stronger than them, they would become a lot more obedient. These people were a lot better compared to those who were obedient but crafty inside.
“Me?”
The person was quite tall with a green dragon tattooed on his arm, appearing like a boss of a gang.
However, he never imagined that the person who came out of the lake would point at him.
He was not an idiot. In simpler terms, no matter how good a hoodlum was at fighting, as long as they could not think for themselves, they would quickly become cannon fodder.
Just looking at Wei Xiao Bei’s body that was a lot sturdier than his and the strange place he was in, caused his courage to decrease.
Thus, seeing Wei Xiao Bei point at him, he did not hesitate to walk out from among the crowd. His expression contained arrogance, but his eyes carried caution.
“What is your name?”
Wei Xiao Bei did not purely ask his name. While he was asking, Wei Xiao Bei had carelessly stepped on a rock and instantly crushed it to ashes.
At that instant, everyone’s eyes widened, including Zhang Zhi Long.
Those who did not understand what happened would have thought that Wei Xiao Bei was a Guo Shu Expert or even a reincarnated god.
After all, he crushed a rock so easily.
No one could fathom how strong his legs were.
On the other hand, Zhang Zhi Long could understand more. Powerful strength alone could not crush the rock underfoot.
No matter how strong one was, they could only push the rock under. It must be known that the cement in the lake was very soft.
Easily crushing the rock like this needed a lot of skill to perform!
Grand Scholar?
Zhang Zhi Long immediately thought of this possibility and looked at Wei Xiao Bei with a complex gaze.
A Guo Shu Grand Scholar!
What kind of joke was this?
This Junior Apprentice Brother was someone who I looked after before.
Initially, this Junior Brother did not even have a martial arts foundation. It had only been what, eight months?
How could his martial arts have reached this level?
I haven’t even reached Neutral Jing yet. I really have nothing to say when I am compared to him.
Wei Xiao Bei could accurately sense people’s gazes. He knew that his Second Senior Apprentice Brother was looking at him. He turned his head slightly and patted his shoulder. He nodded his head, knowing what his Second Senior Apprentice Brother was going to ask.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei nod his head, Zhang Zhi Long let out a relaxed sigh. He wiped away his complicated feelings and felt a lot better.
In any case, they were Apprentice Brothers. As the Senior, his face was irradiated.
No matter how Zhang Zhi Long was feeling, the man who Wei Xiao Bei called forth immediately began to shrink away and instantly stated his name.
“I am Ling Hu Zhong! A citizen of Cui Hu City, 28 years old with an undergraduate degree, and not yet married.”
While he was nervous, Ling Hu Zhong stated his current situation.
However, everyone was wondering why he even stated his civil status as if he was meeting with the girl of his dreams.
Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei ignored this, “Your name is Ling Hu Chong? Martial artist?”
“No, no, no, it’s Ling Hu Zhong!”
Originally, this person was quite nervous so his deepened voice caused Wei Xiao Bei to mishear.
“Okay, Ling Hu Zhong, how did you come in here?”
At this time, Ling Hu Zhong did not dare hide it and described his and everybody’s experience.
It appeared that Ling Hu Zhong was not a complete hoodlum. He was only an unemployed person. After graduating from college and failing to find a job, he had been living off of his parents.
Afterward, he had been caught by the police for gambling. At that time, he got to know someone who opened a lending company and joined the company in collecting debts.
Because the company required it, he had a green dragon tattooed on his arm. He posed as someone with powerful might from the criminal underworld while helping collect the debts.
This time, he had gone to collect a debt alone and saw a traffic accident by the road. He joined in to watch the liveliness. In the end, these people who were watching the liveliness were dragged into the Dust World, excluding the one involved in the accident.
It could be said that these people had special luck.
Wei Xiao Bei counted them; there were 21 of them who had seen the accident.
“I am truly unlucky!”, Ling Hu Zhong exclaimed in the end.
This made Wei Xiao Bei laugh a bit, “Who told you to go watch the liveliness? Someone was involved in an accident but no one went to help. It serves you all right!”
Some people clearly accepted his words, but there were still others who thought that it was not right. According to their logic, there were too many blackmailers, who would dare save others just to become the victim of blackmail?
However, no one dared to say this out loud in front of Wei Xiao Bei.
Of course, Wei Xiao Bei was only saying this. This kind of thing wasn’t just formed in one or two days. This was simply a problem of society, but if it was him, he would still go and help if he encountered an accident.
