Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 15 Fight the Mutant Beasts! Everyone go fight the mutated beasts!
The village is called Sanjia Village.

The village was bustling with people, seemingly unaffected by the random spacetime turbulence that erupted in the Heavenly Martial Realm.

That means that after turbulence breaks people down, the place where they are reassembled does not need to have turbulence.

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue often attract attention.

There were men and women.

Handsome and beautiful young men and women are bound to attract attention.

Besides, they're both a bit tall.

Zhao Youyue was already used to dealing with this kind of gaze.

She usually ignores it, unless the man she's with is too handsome, in which case she can't help but glance at him.

She noticed that Lin Xiufeng wasn't looking at her, and felt he was putting on an act, so she deliberately nudged his arm and said:

"A beautiful girl is looking at you from three points! Right front and right back!"

Lin Xiufeng casually glanced at the goods displayed in the houses along the roadside and said:
“I am different from you. I have important matters to attend to, and I have no interest in these mundane things.”

"I think you're going through a post-coital slump!"

Zhao Youyue was very dismissive and didn't believe Lin Xiufeng's pretense at all.

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice."

Lin Xiufeng sighed.

Zhao Youyue suddenly stopped and looked at a man setting up a stall by the roadside.

"Look what he's selling!"

"I see, they're all miniature robots."

Lin Xiufeng had already seen it and understood after a moment's thought.

Those who have been in the Heavenly Martial Realm for a while will eventually run out of power in their micro-robots, and since they can't return to Tianlan Star, they will be sold off.

Zhao Youyue was very curious and went over to ask, "How much does it cost?"

"Regardless of the model, one gram of Tianlanxing industrial food will be exchanged for one."

Zhao Youyue had guessed the price would be low, but she never expected it to be this low.

This means that a small bag of spicy strips can be exchanged for several.

"Don't go! Since you're pretty, I'll give you two per gram! Three—"

The man tried his best to persuade him to stay, but it was clearly no use.

Zhao Youyue was just asking casually; she wouldn't exchange even dozens of them.

Seeing Lin Xiufeng deep in thought, she asked:
"What are you thinking about?"

"It seems that returning to Tianlan Star is extremely difficult. Otherwise, those in the Tianwu Group who could go back would have already bought up a large number of micro-robots to take back with them, and there wouldn't be the situation where it's difficult to sell them even when setting up a stall."

“My uncle went back. Accumulating enough merits can earn him a limited vacation back to Tianlan Star, but he’s not allowed to bring anything extra.”

"The Heavenly Martial Group won't riot?" Lin Xiufeng was very puzzled.

"My uncle's achievements were built on the power of the Anti-Heaven Martial Group."

The two chatted as they strolled around, only to find that everyone there needed clothes and processed food, but no one was selling processed food!

There were clothes for sale, but they were all in a terrible state, so tattered that it was like wearing nothing at all, the kind that you wouldn't even want to use as a rag.

If you have food and clothes, you can exchange them for a miniature robot that has run out of power.

There are also ores, and some grains and fruits grown in Tianwu Realm, etc.

"Cold weapons!" Zhao Youyue was delighted to see the weapons for sale.

Lin Xiufeng said with a smile, "It's not bad to play with."

While Zhao Youyue was still in a daze, she heard Lin Xiufeng say in a low voice:

"Is it possible that the power of the Heavenly Martial Soul doesn't necessarily require cold weapons, and that Heavenly Martial Warriors don't need these things at all?"

Zhao Youyue realized that this was very likely the case; those two lovestruck men, Jin Dao and Yin Jian, hadn't used any cold weapons.

So she maintained her happy smile and said:

"This one is especially good."

The shop owner gave them a complicated look and explained:

"The miniature robot has limited battery power, so these tools make it easier to navigate. That's a sickle for farming, and these are essential gear for camping in the wild..."

Zhao Youyue, feeling somewhat embarrassed, secretly kicked Lin Xiufeng.

Their attempt to cover up their innocence was clearly futile; the shop owner could obviously tell they were newcomers. "Let's take another look."

As Lin Xiufeng calmly walked away, he kicked Zhao Youyue in return.

The latter, still unconvinced, tried to kick him again, but Lin Xiufeng warned him:

"It's your own insecurity and lack of composure that's causing this! We clearly have the all-purpose combination transformation tools and weapons of the Topological Nano Dual Stone, why would we need that piece of junk?"

"...I only have a knife. How do you know you have one?"

"You entered the Heavenly Martial Realm without any all-purpose tools?"

"I thought I could exchange my clothes, but I didn't have time."

Zhao Youyue was only concerned with bringing the most valuable hard currency at the time.

The idea itself wasn't wrong, but in the seaside home, the newlyweds had no shortage of clothes, but they only had one set of tools. Even if they had an extra set, they wouldn't use it to change clothes.

"I'll lend you one later."

Lin Xiufeng has more, and Wang Qiang has more.

The two continued strolling around for a while and saw that there was a casino where you could bet on anything worthwhile.

But neither of them was interested.

I'm interested in the place to eat, but the variety of ingredients is very limited. It's the same few dishes I eat every day at the Seaside House, and I'm already tired of them.

"Nothing special. Nobody fights here."

Lin Xiufeng was somewhat disappointed.

Before Zhao Youyue could speak, a sudden commotion erupted, followed by someone shouting:

"A mutated beast at the Heavenly Martial Realm has been spotted! Everyone, go! Hurry!"

Such shouts and calls grew louder and louder.

Many people poured out of the houses, only to find out that there were so many people in the village.

The crowd moved in a dense, throng toward the north gate of the village.

Lin Xiufeng walked ahead for a while, when Zhao Youyue suddenly grabbed him and squeezed in front of him.

"What are you doing?"

"There was a groping attack."

Zhao Youyue was very annoyed, but she couldn't see who it was when she turned her head just now. There was no time to stop and deal with the situation, so she had to suffer in silence.

"I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Lin Xiufeng guessed that the person might push his luck even further.

He pretended to look straight ahead, but actually used his height advantage to glance at Zhao Youyue's side.

Sure enough, a moment later, a man was seen deliberately squeezing forward from the side to stand next to Zhao Youyue.

Just as the man reached out, about to touch him, Lin Xiufeng grabbed the short man's arm, pulled him forcefully, and swung him backward.

When Zhao Youyue turned her head, she saw a figure being thrown through the air.

"Found it?"

"Ah." Lin Xiufeng didn't expect that throwing it with all his might would send it flying so far.

Why did you act so suddenly? What if—

Zhao Youyue stopped herself in time, wondering what if it was a Heavenly Martial Artist.

"forget."

Lin Xiufeng was also a little scared. He had forgotten that he was not a Heavenly Warrior. The effect of self-suggestion was too good.

Fortunately, it turned out that the person was not a Heavenly Warrior.

As the crowd exited the village, the road outside quickly narrowed.

Once you exit through the north gate, you enter the mountains; there are no fields there.

The vast crowd formed a single file, and after a while, one could hear messages being relayed from those at the front, shouting:
"We're still some distance from the Heavenly Martial Realm mutated beast. It must be extraordinary. We need to surround it before we make a move. Don't rush, everyone will get a share, no one will be left out."

With everyone participating so actively and spontaneously, there must be some benefits.

But Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue didn't know the specifics, and they didn't want to ask around for fear of revealing their newcomer status.

If someone targets you, you'll be in danger.

The two suppressed their curiosity and didn't ask any questions. Fortunately, because they were bored on the road, they always had someone to chat with when they were traveling together.
