Chapter 18 The Ugly Duckling (Thanks to the lazy Shenxiu Zhuyun for the large reward)

Early the next morning, Zhuang Hong found a path with carriage tracks, so he followed the path, intending to find a city where humans lived first.

Not long after I left, a bullock cart full of fodder drove up behind me.

An old man with short hair was sitting on the cross frame of the bullock cart, driving the cart, and spanking his buttocks from time to time. Sitting on the hay was a little boy of about ten years old, looking at Zhuang Hong curiously with his big black eyes.

When the old man saw Zhuang Hong, his mouth, which was missing all the teeth, immediately burst into laughter.

The bullock cart stopped beside Zhuang Hong.

"Young man, I'm going to Xitang Town. It's quite a distance. Do you want to give me a ride?"

Zhuang Hong pays great attention to politeness when traveling in other worlds and must not embarrass the people on earth. So he smiled, nodded and said: "Thank you, old man. If it is convenient, that would be great."

The old man crossed his fingers: "Ten cents."

Zhuang Hong's face froze for a moment. He thought the old man was kind enough to take him for free, but he didn't expect that he would have to pay for the fare. The key was that he didn't have ten cents.

Seeing Zhuang Hong's expression, the old man was surprised and said, "Young man, you are out and don't even have ten coins?"

Another said: "Hey, although this kid's energy is extremely powerful, he is superficial and messy. He is obviously just an ordinary person. Let's catch a fat sheep and this big black cow. Then we can eat beef for a while.

Yes, hahaha!"

The girl said in disbelief: "Only half? Why are you so dark? No!"

Of course, there are no two identical worlds in this endless space.

"Whoa!"

The old man sighed and said: "Hey, young man, don't be impulsive later. If you hand over your money obediently, you may be able to save your life. If you save your life, you may still have a chance in the future. If you lose your life, everything is gone. It's just a pain."

This old cow I have had for so long..."

Bullpen King: "Give me half of what you grab, and the rest is yours."

She sheathed her sword and raised her chin slightly proudly: "Just average!"

Its dozens of meters long body circled, turned its head, and with its densely packed limbs squirming, it rushed towards Zhuang Hong again.

When she was about to leave, five or six bandits surrounded a big man and blocked her way.

The old man's face was ashen. Without this cow, he would not be able to live in the future.

The girl in black sneered and said arrogantly: "I refuse because I don't want to associate with you bandits."

The bullpen king was slightly stunned, and immediately waved his mace and chased after him: "At most 60%, no more."

Just as she was about to explode, she saw Zhuang Hong tightening his fingers into fists.

As soon as he stepped on it, mud and grass flew into the air, and he faced the Centipede like a cannonball.

Zhuang Hong looked at the heroic girl in black and couldn't help but applaud and praised: "Awesome!"

The girl is agile and strikes the sword with urgency and ruthlessness, while the bullpen king is not slow in his movements. Each blow is delivered with immense force, often forcing the girl to change her moves to dodge at the last moment.

The girl sat on the ground with her back against the tree and slowly adjusted her breath. After hearing this, she said: "No need to bury them, just let them be eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards."

…

Zhuang Hong asked again: "By the way, I just wanted to ask you. The guy just said you were a secret warrior. What is a secret warrior? What is the level of a warrior?"

He finished telling the story about the ugly duckling in a daze.

"Be my subordinate!"

The girl gritted her teeth and prepared to continue running for her life while holding the broken sword.

Just when the atmosphere was extremely awkward, the old man suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the ox cart. Zhuang Hong looked forward and found two logs blocking the road not far away.

The girl in black was carrying a package and had a high ponytail tied behind her head. With a bright and sweet face, a heroic spirit burst out of her.

Just be a bystander. He never thinks arrogantly that others must live according to his outlook on life.

Liu Yueling: "..."

The old man was startled and immediately shook his head and said: "Gold? That's too valuable to accept. Forget it, just come up."

Immediately afterwards, a strong black figure sprang out from the side and passed by the two bandits at an extremely fast speed.

Liu Yueling wanted to ask Zhuang Hong why he didn't take action earlier even though he could defeat these bandits. Was it because he wanted to be a hero and save the beauty? But when he thought of Zhuang Hong's unpredictable methods, he held back.

Soon I learned from the old man that this was a world of warriors with an ancient background. Warriors mastered a technique that activates the body's potential and can gain extremely powerful power. It is precisely because of the existence of warriors that human beings have the ability to fight against giants.

The power of the devil and won the final victory.

With a crisp sound, the girl's long sword suddenly broke into two pieces, and she herself was blown away by the huge force, hit the tree and fell down.

Countless fine threads suddenly emerged from Zhuang Hong's hands, reflecting white light under the mottled light.

Zhuang Hong secretly said: "That girl is probably going to lose."

Zhuang Hong: "Ahem, my type of warrior is different from theirs."

The bullpen king also shouted and came forward.

"puff!"

The bullpen king said domineeringly: "Being my subordinate will only cost you 60% of the monthly salary at most. If you don't agree, you will die. You guys, tie her back to me."

A gust of breeze blew, making the three of them shiver.

The bullpen king turned his head and stared at Zhuang Hong, and asked with a sullen face: "Why, you want to be my subordinate? You are not qualified! Also, hand over all the valuable things on your body to save me from having to search the dead man."

Once you die."

"Zhuang Hong."

But seeing the child Er Niu looking at him expectantly, he couldn't be disappointed. He thought about it and asked uncertainly: "How about telling you a story about the 'Ugly Duckling'?"

After that, he dragged several sections of centipede corpses into the dense forest and bushes.

When the bullpen king saw Zhuang Hong approaching, he laughed loudly and walked towards Zhuang Hong carrying the mace.

He seemed to have forgotten his words, and just stared blankly at the incredible scene in front of him, and finally locked his eyes on Zhuang Hong.

Zhuang Hong looked slightly embarrassed. After thinking about it, he came up with a new idea: "How about I tell you another story?"

The sword flashed.

Zhuang Hong looked embarrassed. He had always listened to other people telling stories before. Where had he ever told stories to anyone?

The air fell into an eerie silence, with only the sound of the wheels turning.

In other words, Zhuang Hong is likely to be in an airspace with more abundant resources than in the direction of the earth...

The bullpen king has not forgotten his job of robbing at this time.

Old man: "I don't know, aren't you a warrior?"

The old man's scalp suddenly became numb, and he quietly hid behind the bullock cart and stuffed his son's two cows into the fodder.

The big man was extremely burly, holding a mace. He tilted his head and looked down at the woman in black. He opened his black teeth and laughed and said: "Young lady is so handsome, and she is also a secret warrior. How about..."

She suspected that Zhuang Hong was pretending to be stupid with her, but looking at the sincere look on his face, it didn't seem like he was just pretending.

Zhuang Hong was about to reply when he suddenly hid aside as if he had something to say.

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

"Hahaha!"

Zhuang Hong stepped forward, pierced the centipede's head with his sword, and then slid it along the carapace. The centipede finally stopped.

When Zhuang Hong walked out, stroking his belly, he almost couldn't help but burp.

For example, in the Jinyun world where Zhuang Hong lives: when a strong-blooded man faced a beautiful and youthful girl, he actually said, 'Be my subordinate' instead of 'Be my wife'.

As Zhuang Hong expected, the girl's movements were no longer as agile as before, and she raised her sword to block in time when she couldn't dodge.

"Who is this person who never seems to wake up? How did he do it just now? And those invisible threads..."

A centipede the size of a water tank suddenly poked its head out of the void and happened to pass by Zhuang Hong.

Erniu: "Is the ugly duckling a powerful warrior?"

"Dangdangdang~"

The girl in black unsheathed her long sword, the wind blew under her feet and she stabbed the strong man with the mace with her sword.

The next moment, all the bandits, including the extremely powerful Bullpen King, suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground, twitching wildly. A stream of blood oozed from their ears and eyes, and they soon lost their breath.

Overall, the bullpen king was stronger than the girl. He held the girl down and beat her, and seemed to be worried about accidentally breaking the girl.

Liu Yueling said with a dull expression: "No, it's nothing."

At this time, Zhuang Hong couldn't help but think that Hei Jinhua's previous statement that the airspace where the earth was located was remote and desolate might be referring to whether the creatures in various worlds possess extraordinary powers.

A cold light flashed in Zhuang Hong's eyes, and just as he was about to send these two people away, he heard a scolding sound coming from the distance.

Zhuang Hong's eyes lit up as he watched, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's awesome! It's awesome!"

She looked Zhuang Hong up and down, but no matter how she looked, she didn't see how strong Zhuang Hong was, or even that he was not a warrior.
