Slay the God: Jar Merchant, General Zhao Opens the Forbidden Ruins

In the forest late at night, broken branches and limbs of trees were everywhere. A demon ape as big as a hill fell to the ground, with knife wounds of various sizes all over its body. Its abdominal muscles were directly pierced, and blood was all over the ground.

Two small figures lay beside him. Shen Qingzhu ignored the wounds on his body, raised a monster crystal core that was bigger than a basketball, and laughed wildly towards the sky: "Hahaha, it feels great, evenly matched battles are still more enjoyable."

"Brother, come on!" Cao Yuan rolled his eyes wildly, gasping for air from the pain in his body. "It was almost, we almost couldn't make it back. That damn demon ape wasn't fast, but its defense and pure physical attack were ridiculously high. If it weren't for the artifact, we would have died here tonight."

"It wasn't that close. Facts have proven that we are the ones who survived to the end." Shen Qingzhu placed the crystal core into the spatial treasure, struggled to get up, and kicked the dead demon ape. "Such a powerful demon ape must be covered in treasures. My spatial treasure is running out of storage. Quickly put it into your spatial treasure. When we go out, we can find out more and sell it for a good price."

"I'll go." Cao Yuan rolled his eyes again after hearing this: "Brother, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"How can a hundred-meter-tall demon ape's body fit into a spatial treasure if it's not disassembled?"

"Then get up and break it down." Shen Qingzhu dragged Cao Yuan to the side of the demon ape and said, "You have to understand one thing: waste is shameful."

"Okay, okay, you're right." Cao Yuan transformed again, holding up the artifact and trying to disintegrate the demon ape. However, the demon ape's body was too hard, and it took him over an hour to break it apart. As a result, he collapsed to the ground exhausted, not wanting to move at all. "Done, no more, let's rest for a while."

"Eat some honey to replenish your strength first." Shen Qingzhu took out two pieces of honey, threw one to Cao Yuan, and took the other and chewed it frantically.

After eating, the two rested for another half an hour. They were afraid that another demon ape would jump out, so they packed up and disappeared into the dark night in one direction.

.....

"Xiao Yuyu, we finally arrived at a small village."

After An Qingyu and Jiang Er finished their food, they hurried for a while and finally saw a hint of fireworks.

"Something's wrong." An Qingyu stopped Jiang Er, who was about to run to the village, and continued in Jiang Er's puzzled eyes, "There's a strong smell of blood. Be careful."

"Really?" Jiang Er sniffed hard with his little nose: "Why can't I smell it?"

An Qingyu did not explain, but pulled Jiang Er around to the village from the side. All they saw were corpses, and the smoke rising from the sky was just the remains of the burned village.

Jiang Er frowned when he saw the scene in the village. Such bloody scenes were rare, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Little Fish, what can you see?"

"I can analyze a little bit." After An Qingyu found no danger, he pulled Jiang Er into the village and said, "Look at those pieces of wood. They are all covered with claw marks, and these bodies were also bitten to death. This village should have been invaded by monsters, but it is also possible that people brought monsters to destroy the village."

Jiang Er nodded, covering her mouth and said, "No matter which world we live in, war is inevitable. Xiao Yuyu, you will protect me, right?"

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

"Thank you, Xiaoyuyu, you are so kind."

"Can you please not call me Xiaoyuyu?"

"No, I want to call, Xiaoyuyu, Xiaoyuyu..."

An Qingyu smiled helplessly when he saw Jiang Er's naughty look. But when he saw Jiang Er's happy smile, he was also very happy. It was just a name, so call him if you like!

"Let's go! We can't rest here. Now that we're here, we know where we are. The nearest town is about three hours away if we hurry. Let's get going."

An Qingyu bent down automatically.

Jiang Er smiled happily, jumped onto An Qingyu's back, hugged An Qingyu's neck tightly with both hands, buried her little face in her back, and seemed to hear An Qingyu's pounding heart, and she smiled even more happily.

.....

On the other side, the opposite situation occurs.

Fatty was comfortably carried by Molly, laughing: "Are you tired, honey? Do you want to rest for a while?"

"Fatty, just stop it!" Molly was not tired either. If she wanted, she could directly use the law of wind to control the wind to take the two away. Fatty could also use his sword to lead them on their journey. It was just that Fatty made this suggestion just now and she couldn't bear to refuse.

Moreover, with her level of attainment, carrying a person weighing over 100 pounds is effortless.

"Come, wife, let me wipe the sweat off your face."

Fatty happily took out a piece of cloth and wiped the non-existent sweat from Molly's forehead.

"Haha, you two have a really good relationship!" A woman walked out and saw Chubby and Molly. She covered her mouth and laughed repeatedly. "It's so late, where are you going?"

"Hello, sister." Pangpang immediately jumped down and asked: "Excuse me, is there any place to live nearby?"

"Yes." The woman pointed in a direction. "Go this way and you'll reach a small town in half an hour. That's where I live. Unfortunately, I have work to do, otherwise I would take you there."

"That's easy." Fatty took out two gold coins and said, "Sister, take us there. These two gold coins are for the guide fee."

The woman was shocked. She couldn't even earn two gold coins in a year's work. She quickly refused, "No, no, you two just follow the direction I point you. You don't need me to lead the way. And even if I did, two gold coins would be too much."

"It's okay." Fatty stuffed the gold coins into the woman's hand and said, "If we hadn't met you, we would have lost our way. Please take us with you."

"Forehead...!"

The woman felt the gold coins were burning in her hands, but seeing the nonchalant expressions of Fatty and the others, she thought they must have run into two young men. "Okay, then I'll take you on a trip. To be honest, two gold coins is more than I could earn in a whole year's work. Are you sure you want to give me the gold coins?"

Can’t earn two gold coins a year?

Pangpang and Molly looked at each other. Neither of them knew whether it was because the labor force in Fang World was cheap or the purchasing power of gold coins was strong. However, neither of them had much desire for gold coins, so they just gave them away. Besides, there were still a lot of them lying in the space treasures!

"Yes, as long as you take us to town, the gold coins will be yours."

"Okay, thank you, sir and madam. I see you were born into aristocracy. Are you here to gain experience?" The woman was curious. "Also, when we get to town, there are many unscrupulous merchants there. Don't be fooled. If you need a guide, I can ask my husband to show you around town."

"Thank you in advance. We'll talk about it when we get there." Pangpang didn't want to be a sucker, so there was nothing wrong with asking someone about the prices.

Then, the three of them asked and answered questions and slowly walked towards the town.
