The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Mingya complained inwardly, but dared not say it aloud.

He didn't quite understand why the other person, who was also a player, seemed to be on a completely different level in terms of combat power.

When Ye Xiao encountered any monsters on the road, whether they were opponents who inspired his fighting spirit or powerful figures who filled him with fear and suffocation, all of them were equal to him—one kick.

Occasionally, he would use his staff to strike a few particularly tough ones, but he never once drew the longsword from his back.

Even Mingya was curious about what kind of enemies could make this person draw his sword.

However, it must be said that Ye Xiao's approach was indeed efficient. After resting on the bamboo raft for a night, the two finally saw the end of the horizon where the sea and sky met, with a thin line of horizon rising.

Ye Xiaoleng arrived at the land, which was originally expected to take two days of drifting, in just one day.

Unfortunately, as Ye Xiao got closer, he discovered that the coastline that appeared was not Free Port Island, but rather a region on the Southern Continent.

This is normal. Observing the stars can only be used to roughly determine a location, and it is not impossible for there to be an error of hundreds or thousands of miles.

As far as the eye could see was a small village, where a group of fish-men with colorful skins were fishing with steel forks. In the distance, they saw a bamboo raft with two figures on it on the sea and hurriedly made strange noises to call their companions.

"Awoo-la!"

These fish-men are not rare merfolk, but rather a strange species that, like the green-skinned orcs, is rampant in the southern continent.

Their main body is often that of a fish with a huge head and a silly, cute look, but it has long, thin limbs like a human.

But Ye Xiao wasn't quite sure why the fish-men caught fish to eat.

Upon seeing Ye Xiao and Mingya, these two uninvited guests, suddenly barge into the village, many ordinary villagers ran back into their houses. Only one rather unusual blue fishman led a group of tall and strong guard fishmen to the shore to "welcome" Ye Xiao and Mingya's arrival.

"Woo la la la la".

The leader of the fishmen glared at Ye Xiao and greeted him.

Ye Xiao politely returned the bow, but he couldn't understand what the fishmen were saying, so he could only awkwardly smile and then unfold a crumpled topographical map for the fishmen to see.

"We got lost at sea and ended up here. Do you know how to get to this island?"

"Awoo—la".

The leader of the merfolk opened his arms and made a sound.

Ye Xiao hadn't studied the Merfolk language, so naturally he didn't know what this guy was saying. He glanced at Mingya, whose bewildered expression clearly didn't mean he understood either.

He had no choice but to use his staff as a stick to draw on the ground, trying to describe to the fishman the island near the southern continent that he wanted to go to.

"Woo la la la la".

The leader of the merfolk made a strange cry; it was unclear whether he understood it or not.

"He asked if you were going to a free port?"

Just then, a crisp voice rang out.

Humanity?

Ye Xiao looked up in surprise at the sound and saw a girl with waist-length black hair slowly stepping out of a low house next to her.

This fish-man village on the southern continent is actually inhabited by a human?

Ye Xiao was quite surprised. Although these fishmen seemed quite gentle now, seventy or eighty years ago, their grandfathers would have strung human heads on steel forks and played with them like candied hawthorns.

It was only after peacetime and close exchanges between various races that some treaties were gradually formed, leading to some descendants who are now less prejudiced against race.

However, this does not mean that the current murloc village is a suitable place for ordinary humans to live. Putting aside the differences in lifestyle, understanding the murloc language, which sounds like it only has a few syllables, is already extremely difficult.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've taken the liberty of joining your conversation."

The black-haired girl gently stroked her hair and, out of politeness, introduced herself first, "My name is Koi, and I am a fish-man from the Eastern Yang Continent."

Chapter Seventy-Five: Journey to the Southern Continent

"real or fake."

Before Ye Xiao could speak, Mingya asked curiously.

He glanced at the silly-looking fish head next to him with its wide, staring eyes, then at the pretty koi girl with a serene smile on her face. "Are you two the same species? No way."

"Although they are both called 'fishmen,' the fishmen of the Eastern Yang Continent and the fishmen of our Southern Continent should not be the same thing."

This was Ye Xiao's first time seeing someone from the Dongyang Continent, and he looked at them with great curiosity.

However, his gaze was relatively subtle, so as not to be offensive.

"Hello, my name is Ye Xiao, and this is Ming Ya. We are travelers from another world."

"Eh, another world?"

Koi was clearly hearing this for the first time; she covered her mouth with her fair hand, her face showing surprise.

"Oh, is it okay to say something like that directly?"

Mingya also looked at Ye Xiao with surprise.

This time point is still a week after the Great Transmigration. The contact between the natives of the present world and the players is not as deep as it would be six months later. Therefore, it is normal for most people to be surprised because they have not yet seen the "otherworldly traveler".

After a brief self-introduction, Jinli invited the two into the house as guests. From their conversation, Ye Xiao learned that this girl from the Eastern Yang Continent had come to this remote fishman village in the Southern Continent to collect a certain herb known as "Red Begonia" in their area.

Unfortunately, she spent nearly half a month searching the coast near the village but still couldn't find the herb. She was planning to travel to the more distant orc port city of Thunder City to seek it out.

This is naturally a good thing. As a port city in the Southern Continent, Thunder City has ships that go directly to the Free Port, so Ye Xiao no longer needs to observe the night sky and wander around aimlessly on a broken bamboo raft.

With the help of the koi fish translating, the simple fish-people were actually quite hospitable. Most of these creatures weren't particularly intelligent, and they didn't harbor any complex emotions like racial hatred. Since the koi fish said Ye Xiao and the others were friends, they genuinely treated Ye Xiao and Ming Ya as friends as well.

Of course, the village chief of this little fishman village was more intelligent as a leader. However, he was old and had long since let go of the conflicts that belonged to decades ago. After seeing that someone could communicate with Ye Xiao and the other two, he gave a few instructions with a "whoosh" and then directed the other fishman villagers to continue fishing.

The sun set, and the sky grew dark.

Ye Xiao and Ming Ya each took a futon and slept in the small thatched hut shaped like a granary.

Although the conditions were rudimentary, for Mingya, who had been surviving in the wilderness for a week, this was far more comfortable than a bamboo raft or a cave on a deserted island.

You can let your guard down and not worry about monsters breaking in at night, or falling into the vast ocean if you turn over.

Even those fish-headed, fish-brained merfolk were far more pleasing to the eye than the ferocious venomous snakes and beasts on the deserted island.

As for Ye Xiao, he has absolutely no taboos. Even if the sky were to fall and the earth were to crack, the quality of his sleep would not fluctuate in the slightest.

Nothing was said that night, and the next day arrived quickly.

With the merfolk waving goodbye, Koi led Ye Xiao and Mingya onto a Kodo-pulled truck and headed west towards Thunder City.

The Kodo Beast wagon was borrowed by the murlocs from a nearby orc tribe, where the minotaurs were particularly fond of murloc fin soup, so they had a fairly good relationship with the murlocs.

The truck driver was also a minotaur. Besides Ye Xiao and his two companions, the truck was also carrying some spices, which were stacked in bags woven from hemp grass on the roofless truck bed.

Ye Xiao crossed his legs and leaned back against the bags, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, idly watching the lush green forests along the way.

The climate along the southern coast is quite pleasant. It is summer, and neat rows of broad-leaved forests stretch across the hills, filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.

Occasionally, one can glimpse the distant green waves of meadows stretching across the mountains from the forest, where clusters of brown huts belonging to the orcs appear like giant mushrooms.

On the other side lies an endless expanse of azure sea, bathed in the morning sunlight, where shimmering waves transform into strings of sparkling pearls.

"Oh, Koi Girl."

Ye Xiaodiao was used to being quiet, but Mingya rarely met a third person in this world with a human appearance, so she naturally couldn't control her chatter. "I heard you say that Dongyang Continent is so far away from here. How did you manage to get here all by yourself?"

Koi tapped her slender fingers on her lips and tilted her head. "Of course it swam over."

"what?"

Mingya found it hard to believe, "That would require swimming tens of thousands of miles, right?"

"Well, probably."

Koi nodded. "I swam at sea for almost two months before I saw land."

Mingya stroked his chin, the image of the lovely girl in front of him swimming like a frog on the sea surface appearing in his mind.

"But I'm also very curious, may I ask what kind of other world you come from?"

Koi then spoke up, "When I was a child, my father told me stories about how in the history of dynasties, there were sometimes extraordinary people with unique skills. They were said to be time travelers who did not belong to this world. Could you be such people?"

"Hmph, that's right."

Upon hearing this, Mingya immediately puffed out his chest. "I am indeed from another world, one in a million transmigrators. Heaven brought me to this world, presumably to entrust me with the important task of saving all living beings."

"so smart."

The koi carp opened its eyes wide in surprise.

Ye Xiao lay on the spice bag, glancing sideways at Mingya's proud face, and wondered whether he should tell him that there were actually millions of players in this world.

But after a slight hesitation, he decided not to say anything and let the guy have his fun for a while. Anyway, once they entered Thunder City, the guy would know everything he needed to know once he connected to the player forum.

Kodo beasts are much slower than the horse-drawn carriages commonly used by humans, but fortunately they are sturdy and stable, making it easy for them to travel on the rugged mountain paths.

With the sunlight shining on his face, Ye Xiao listened to the two people next to him chatting away, and felt a rare sense of ease.

But just then, a huge shadow suddenly flew across the sky in the field of vision.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, and then, like a huge flock of birds, countless figures took to the sky, spreading their wings and blocking out the dazzling sunlight for a moment.

"what?"

The other two also noticed this strange phenomenon and looked up to see those "bird-like" figures flapping their wings and gradually expanding, seemingly surrounding the Kodo Beast truck carrying Ye Xiao and the others as prey.

"A two-legged wyvern, damn it, it's a member of the hunting clan!"

The minotaur driving the vehicle cried out in alarm, and immediately, several large nets descended from the sky without warning.

Chapter Seventy-Six: The Secret Techniques of Dongyang

The so-called hunting clan is actually a group of beastmen bandits who have been roaming the area recently.

As a barbaric race that prioritizes force above all else, it's perfectly normal for some clans to enjoy burning, killing, and looting.

Raiding and even fighting between orc tribes is commonplace, let alone today, these bloodthirsty jackals actually saw a cartload of humans.

Beast God above, humans riding in a merchant cart?

Is it still in the Southern Continent?

If we don't seize this opportunity, we'll be letting down our ancestors.

So the wyvern team, whose manpower was enough to rob an entire caravan, threw their restraining nets down at the lone wagon below without hesitation.

"Hey, hey, there's only one truck down there. Just throw out four or five nets, that should be enough. Don't leave them lying around. Nets are free, right?!"

On the wyvern at the front of the group, a green-skinned orc who looked like a leader raised his spear and roared at his companions.

Then, they all let out a piercing howl and manipulated the two-legged dragons beneath them to plummet downwards.

On the Kodo Beast truck, Ye Xiao gripped the rope net covering his face with one hand, already starting to show signs of impatience.

Why bother with a bunch of robbers while riding in a rickety oxcart?

"The Hunting Clan! This is a merchant wagon representing the Bloodhoof Tribe, heading to Thunder City! How dare you rob it?! Are you insane?!"

The minotaur driving the chariot, pulling at the net wrapped around his body, saw the wyvern carrying the orcs land and immediately shouted a rebuke.

"The Bloodhoof Clan?"

The lead green-skinned orc jumped off the wyvern's saddle, a disdainful smile spreading across his fleshy face. "How come I didn't know that minotaurs are now doing business with humans?"

"Oh my, oh my, there's even a delicate-skinned human girl. What, did the little bird of a human noble family not like the taste of ox horns, so it came all the way to the Southern Continent to try them? Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!!!"

A group of orc bandits let out unrestrained laughter.

"Show some respect, you bunch of bastards! These are guests of the Bloodhoof Clan!"

The minotaur was quite angry.

He does not mean that.

A group of bandits ignored the minotaur's warning and came up with spears to rob the goods.

But Ye Xiao overheard this and had a different thought.

guest?

The koi could understand the language of the fishmen, and Ye Xiao initially thought it was just a talent of being a fishman himself. But then he realized that the girl also had a good relationship with the minotaur clan... Ye Xiao wondered if this girl's social skills were a bit too strong.
