For the next week, Su Yang diligently killed rabid dogs, maintaining an income of about 40 gold coins per day, which is 4 Mora. After a week, he had accumulated about 30 Mora. At the same time, Su Yang also learned that after finding a good location to build a house, submitting one Mora could speed up the application process, and in principle, he could obtain the right to reside there. However, he would have to collect the building materials himself.

At this point, Su Yang had about 130 Mora left, including what he had earned that week. Su Yang was usually very frugal and spent almost no money except for accommodation. He even relied on hunting for food.

Within a week, Su Yang had already found a suitable site for building his house. It was located on the edge of the forest, with a small open space backed by the forest, a stream not far away, and a valley further away. It was quite secluded. Although it was a bit far from the town, it was still convenient overall. Su Yang used the signal flag he received from the guild to mark the area of ​​the land he wanted to use. Now he just had to wait for the people from the guild and the city lord's mansion to come and approve it.

This time, Su Yang enclosed several large trees on the edge of the forest, and the remaining open space was about a quarter the size of a football field, or about 1800 square meters. Building a house was a minor matter; the main reason for enclosing this open space was that he wanted to cultivate it in the future.

After completing these tasks, Su Yang felt that there shouldn't be any problems with the approval this time, so he started collecting building materials. He needed to build the house first, but Su Yang wasn't greedy. He just wanted to build a small bungalow that he could live in.

There wasn't enough time to make bricks or anything like that yet, so Su Yang had to build with wood, stones, and mud for now. Thus began Su Yang's long journey of cutting down trees.

Because the trees were too thick and there were too many people at the logging camp, in order not to reveal his strength, Su Yang had no choice but to drag the logs one by one towards the open space. He could only collect a maximum of 4 logs a day. Fortunately, the amount of logs needed was not too much, so it was relatively easy for Su Yang.

That day, Su Yang was happily dragging logs because the approval had been granted. He only needed to drag three more logs to finish when he encountered a group of uninvited guests wearing black masks. Each of them wore a machine similar to a headband and was robbing passersby along the way. Some new adventurers went to fight them, but were quickly defeated.

However, failure was not the worst part. Those guys used some unknown means, and the novice adventurer lying on the ground convulsed uncontrollably. Then, he screamed and shouted like a madman, foaming at the mouth. Before long, he completely lost his mind and became a mindless walking corpse, like a mental patient.

At this moment, the ordinary people around screamed:

"Run! It's an insulator!"

The bewildered onlookers scattered like birds, leaving only Su Yang standing there, stunned.

"An insulator? Someone who isn't afraid of getting electrocuted?"

While Su Yang was still speculating, the group of insulators had already arrived in front of him, shouting fiercely:

"Hey! Hand over all your valuables and elemental bracelet! Otherwise, you'll end up like that guy!"

Hearing this, Su Yang pondered how to deal with this group of people. If he killed them all now, the news would definitely be spread by ordinary people hiding in the shadows. If he didn't kill them and backed down, he would be out of money.

Just as Su Yang was in a dilemma, the Insulators had run out of patience. The leader waved his hand, and two of his subordinates immediately charged towards Su Yang. Su Yang was startled and immediately prepared to fight back. At this moment, a black light fell in front of him, and then the light dissipated, and a person walked out from it. The person held a black shield and was tall. As soon as he appeared, a powerful elemental fluctuation came out, and two stone pillars surged from the ground, forcefully knocking the two Insulators who were charging away. Then, two solid swords with purple light appeared behind the flying Insulators and pierced their bodies. As the solid swords disappeared, a woman wearing a black robe appeared not far away.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the leader of the insulators cried out in terror to the others:

"It's the Crimson Storm-class adventurer—Black Whale! Retreat!"

After speaking, the group immediately vanished without a trace. At this moment, three people approached from a distance, all dressed in black. The woman, dressed as a healer, stood before Su Yang and asked with concern:

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Faced with this situation, Su Yang's social anxiety immediately kicked in, and he lowered his head and remained silent. This displeased the pioneer of the Black Whale Squad, who questioned Su Yang with an angry voice:

"I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?!"

At this moment, the sharpshooter stopped the pioneer: "Swald, don't be impulsive. He's just a rookie adventurer. It's normal for him to react like this when he encounters an Insulator."

As soon as the marksman spoke, the pioneer immediately shut up obediently. It seems that most marksmen, as a damage-dealing class, are captains.

Seeing that Su Yang remained silent, the healer stopped asking questions and instead activated his elemental power to check if Su Yang was injured.

"Holy Temple of Healing, please grant me divine intervention and insight."

A flash of green light appeared, and a light green ripple drifted toward Su Yang, but it dissipated automatically as soon as it reached him.

This surprised the healer: "Unable to detect? Or was it defeated by the power of other elements?"

Instantly, the remaining four members of the Black Whale Squad entered defensive mode and quickly formed a battle formation, with the guard at the forefront, shouting loudly:

"Who the hell are you!"

At this point, the sharpshooter changed his attitude and whispered to his teammates, "If this person doesn't answer or makes any hostile moves, treat him as an insulator and kill him on the spot!"

The two sides were locked in a stalemate. It turned out that Su Yang did not want the healer to investigate him, fearing that he would give himself away. Unconsciously, he activated the air element, forming a barrier around himself that resembled an air wall. The wood element's probing ripples were shattered as soon as they touched the barrier. Su Yang himself was also confused. He clearly hadn't activated the bracelet!

Su Yang hurriedly entered the tree world and went to the bottom of the tree to check his condition.

Name: Su Yang

Age: 24

Elemental Powers: Cloud, Air, Light; Development Progress: 95.23%

Special element: Fog; Development progress: 100%

Permanent Skills: Detection Radar, Cloud Barrier

Spirit Beast: Sky-Splitting Tiger (Status: Normal)

Companion Spirit Skill: Light of Harmony

This sight left Su Yang completely bewildered: "Is this really a system? When was it updated?!"

"That must have been the automatic activation of the permanent skill Flowing Cloud Barrier. It was probably generated by the fusion of air and cloud elements. Otherwise, my C-grade air element bracelet definitely wouldn't be able to activate such a skill."

Su Yang understood. He had definitely been misunderstood. Moreover, he had heard from those insulators that these people were Crimson Storm-level adventurers. What if he couldn't beat them? Should he run away first? But what if he couldn't escape? In the end, Su Yang decided to see if he could try to communicate with them first. Although he was afraid that communicating would make them even angrier, running away would definitely lead to a fight. Su Yang was even more afraid that he would be killed if he couldn't win.

Su Yang bowed first, then stammered, "I, I'm just, just a new adventurer. I, I don't know, I don't know what just happened."

"Oh, and I'm not hurt. Thank you for your kindness."

This time, the Black Whale team was a bit confused. If it really wasn't Su Yang who did it, they might have really misunderstood him. After all, the combat power of a Crimson Storm-level adventurer is no joke.
