Doomsday: Grinding EXP Through Hunting

Before long, the slaves in the village gathered together, half in doubt and half in belief.

They cautiously assembled in front of the large house in the village, where they saw the slave owner's body hanging.

What happened next was beyond Tang Wen's expectations.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Regardless of age or gender, everyone's knees went weak, and they all knelt before the old slave owner's corpse. They kowtowed repeatedly, the number of times lost to count.

Tang Wen, the spectator, grew impatient.

He quietly stood up and sneaked back into the village.

Bai Youruo and Bai Xue followed him.

"The master was killed by that strange sound! I am the village steward, and now I am the new master. All of you, kneel before me! Kneel!"

Tang Wen's expression turned peculiar as he looked at the dark, skinny old man before him. He couldn't understand where this man got the confidence to say such things.

"Why? A steward is just a steward," someone retorted.

"You dare defy me? You're asking for death! Kill him! Whoever kills him will be rewarded with a bag of rice! A bag of the finest foxtail millet!"

The crowd stirred.

A bag of foxtail millet was no small matter.

Seeing the others tempted, the man who opposed the steward quickly shouted, "Kill him! Let's kill the steward together! After killing him, we'll share the millet equally!"

"Who dares!" The steward jumped up and down, letting out a shrill cry. "I am the steward! I've been to the city with the master. The master is dead, but he has friends in the city…"

The crowd turned to look at the man who opposed the steward.

He tried to flee but was tackled to the ground by those around him.

Several people, armed with stones, surrounded him.

Soon, blood covered the ground, and he was dead.

The men who had just killed approached the steward. The ferocity in their eyes hadn't yet faded.

The steward was startled.

"What? What do you want? Do you want to end up like him?"

"The millet! You promised us the millet!"

"That belongs to the master! How can we touch it?"

"You lied to us!"

"…"

The steward was also killed.

Those who had killed the steward's opponent then turned on the steward himself.

The man whose stone was still dripping with blood stepped forward and pointed at his comrades. "You, you, you, and me—we're brothers now! Everything here is ours! These women are ours too!"

"I'm the eldest, you're the second, you're the third, and you're the fourth!"

"I'll take five women, you take four, you take three, and you take two!"

"I'll live in the big house, and you'll live next to it."

Tang Wen couldn't help but laugh. What a talent.

He didn't intervene at all.

He and the two women quietly watched as events unfolded.

That night, the eldest brother eagerly took five women to bed.

After about ten minutes, he fell asleep, satisfied.

The third and fourth brothers quietly sneaked in and smothered him to death with the women's clothes.

They took over the big house and the women. The next day, they announced to the village that the eldest brother had died accidentally and had appointed them as co-leaders before his death.

But the second brother wasn't convinced.

He gathered a few young men and confronted the third and fourth brothers.

One of the young men, unable to hold back, charged forward with a wooden spear.

Chaos erupted.

Another bloody fight broke out.

"Quite an eye-opener, isn't it?" Bai Youruo's lips curled into a mocking smile, her eyes cold and indifferent.

This was the nature of slaves.

The slaves she had saved in the past were no different. Once they gained a bit of freedom and power, they didn't strive to live better lives.

The only thing on their minds was how to enslave others and become slave owners!

Tang Wen shook his head: "I anticipated something like this, but I didn't expect these people to be so reckless! Just a tiny bit of profit made them throw their lives away without a second thought."

Bai Youruo nodded: "Their limited perspective held them back."

Tang Wen had lost interest in watching further: "Let's not waste any more time. We should get moving!"

"Agreed!"

As the sun set, Tang Wen packed up the animal skin tent above their heads.

The two women gathered the items on the ground, and the three of them set off once again on their journey to Mountain Chasing City.

The giant wolf raced across the wilderness, and the further south they went, the higher the temperature rose.

Running at night brought a cool breeze.

But during the day, the heat made it impossible to sleep, tossing and turning restlessly.

Tang Wen sought the help of the Sand Wolf King.

Immediately, a gentle breeze began to swirl around them.

The breeze carried away the heat, allowing everyone to fall into a fitful sleep.

Several days passed, and Tang Wen and his companions encountered another slave village.

After observing for a while.

Bai Youruo said: "This village is much larger and wealthier than the last one. Let's go around it!"

The village had stone houses, wells, and about a hundred households.

Tang Wen had no intention of bypassing it: "At most, there's just a powerful Martial Master here. With our Transcendent Wolf King, killing him will be easy!"

"Why?" Bai Youruo's expression darkened.

Bai Xue also looked at Tang Wen.

Tang Wen pulled out two silver ingots from his pocket: "I only have ten taels of silver on me. What about you?"

"This?" The two women were stunned, exchanging a glance. They had been on the run for so long that they had lost almost everything. Now, all they had were a few hidden gold leaves.

"Let's prepare!"

"Alright." Bai Youruo shook her head with a bitter smile.

Who would have thought that the esteemed young lady of the Bai family would one day resort to raiding a slave village?

A few dozen seconds later, the Sand Wolf charged down first.

It was evening, and many people were still outside.

When they saw the enormous Sand Wolf, they immediately began to scream.

"Wolves are coming!"

"A giant wolf!"

"Master, save us!"

"Run for your lives!"

"Beasts!" A furious shout rang out.

A figure darted out from the ground. Tang Wen's sharp eyes immediately noticed that this person had emerged from a side brick room next to the main house of the village.

A Martial Master from the side room?

Then who was living in the main house?

Could there be someone else?

"Be careful! Something's not right."

Tang Wen reached out with both hands, placing them on Bai Youruo and Bai Xue's shoulders.

"If things go south, we retreat." Bai Youruo didn't want any unnecessary complications.

As the two were speaking, two more figures appeared.

One rushed out from the main house.

The other came from another side room.

"They're all Martial Masters!" Bai Youruo instantly assessed.

Tang Wen immediately turned to the Wolf King: "Let's attack together!"

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind passed, and the Wolf King vanished on the spot.

In the eyes of Tang Wen and the two women, it appeared like a phantom, flashing into the village. A single wolf's claw pierced through a man's chest, and blood dripped down in a steady stream!

"It's a Transcendent! Run!"

The Martial Master who had emerged later screamed in panic, but in the next moment, his instincts screamed a warning. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of something flying toward him.

Instinctively, he dodged violently.

Ssssh!

Another disembowelment.

The Sand Wolf King was well-prepared, working in perfect sync with Tang Wen.

The Flying Stone forced the opponent to dodge, and the Wolf King's claw was already waiting for him.

In the blink of an eye, two Martial Masters were dealt with.

Only the first one who had appeared remained.

He was fleeing madly, not even turning back at the screams behind him.

As long as he was faster than his companions, there was hope for survival.

But unfortunately, he was not fast enough to outrun the wind-affinity Sand Wolf King.

In just one encounter, he was crippled.

Tang Wen arrived, and the man kept pleading for mercy.

Tang Wen said, "Speak up!"

There must be a secret in the village.

As for what exactly it was, he didn't know.

As a qualified captive, one should learn to make proactive connections.

"You... you're someone sent by the gang leader."

The gang leader?

Tang Wen drew his blade and flicked it with his finger. Clang! The blade vi

brated.

"Understood, understood! It was Vice Gang Leader Qiao and Elder Li who told us..."

Slap!

The cold blade struck the man's face.

Tang Wen said impatiently, "Did I ask about that? Tell me about the situation here."

"Yes, yes, yes! There's an iron mine here. The ore purity is very high, but the overall reserves are probably not large..."
