Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 31 Counting
Lin Xiufeng stomped hard on the neck of the dying wolf.

not dead.

He kicked me again.

The wolf's three eyes were lifeless.

Compared to the Armadillo King, the Mastiff Wolf has a much stronger attack power.

However, the wolves' ability to withstand attacks is far inferior to that of the armadillo king.

The armadillo king was used as a punching bag by five Heavenly Warriors and was relentlessly ganged up on for a full ten minutes!

The wolf was exhausted by six Heavenly Martial Souls with above-average combat power.

He ultimately died at their hands.

This must be the difference between a king-level and an ordinary mutated beast.

Lin Xiufeng, holding a knife, saw Zhao Youyue standing there watching and urged her:

"What are you spacing out for? Grab a knife and skin her alive!"

"...No! I can't do it!"

Zhao Youyue found it too bloody and cruel just thinking about it...

The problem is, it's disgusting and filthy!

"Alright, then let's just leave it alone. You've never killed anything, and neither have I. I only saw five Heavenly Warriors do it once. I don't know how either, and I find it too dirty."

Lin Xiufeng sheathed his knife and stood up.

"It seems that the fur of mutated beasts is very valuable and can be used to make clothes, quilts and cushions. The bones are good ingredients for soup, and the meat is also delicious."

As Lin Xiufeng recounted the events, he suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed:
"That's right! There's also the Light Orb! The Light Orb is inside my body!"

"...Don't try to seduce me!"

Zhao Youyue doesn't have a real concept of value, since she doesn't lack anything right now.

She was tempted by the idea of ​​making soup from bones.

There's also a transforming light orb!

'Waaaah... Lin Xiufeng, you bastard, you bastard!'

Zhao Youyue was filled with resentment, but she refused to admit defeat and said firmly:

"Fine, I don't care! I'm going to pick up my bag!"

"I'll go pick the one that's farther away; we'll meet up here later."

Lin Xiufeng left on his own, leaving Zhao Youyue alone. Looking around, she felt a little panicked.

Speaking of which, this is the first time she and Lin Xiufeng have been separated since they came to Dream Continent.

Although, they weren't very far apart.

Lin Xiufeng found the bag of the first person who had been gored by the wolf, and when he returned with it, he saw that the surroundings were quiet and deserted.

Apart from the shadows of the trees, there was only woodland.

That feeling of utter desolation was inexplicably unsettling.

Lin Xiufeng recalled his second brother's words about him keeping Zhao Youyue company, and then he truly realized:

Traveling alone is very different from traveling with someone.

It's not just about having one more person; it's about the difference between being alone and not being alone.

Before Lin Xiufeng could walk back, he suddenly heard Zhao Youyue shouting:

"Lin Xiufeng—Lin Xiufeng—"

"coming!"

Lin Xiufeng agreed, and Zhao Youyue on the other end immediately felt relieved, her anxiety and discomfort vanishing without a trace.

The group of people were close by, so Zhao Youyue picked up all four bags.

Lin Xiufeng brought back two bags, making a total of six.

"This Sister Yin, I guess she has the best stuff."

Lin Xiufeng placed the order slip aside.

Zhao Youyue said unhurriedly, "I like to save the best for last."

"I'm fine with anything." Lin Xiufeng took Meng Ge's bag and dumped everything out.

Zhao Youyue said with a smile, "You said you'd eat whatever you wanted, but you just like to eat the good stuff first."

"It depends. Save the good stuff that you won't lose for last, and take the good stuff that might change first, eat it and use it later."

As Lin Xiufeng spoke, she checked the items in Meng Ge's luggage.

The food was nothing special, just potatoes and sweet potatoes...

"We have homemade dried meat!"

Lin Xiufeng was quite surprised and picked it up and put it aside.

"I don't even know what kind of meat it is, would you dare to eat it?" Zhao Youyue wasn't interested. She had so many delicious things brought from Tianlan Star in her bag, why would she care about this homemade jerky of unknown origin?
"Did Brother Meng bring the problematic dried meat and poison with him?"

"It didn't say there was anything wrong with it, it just said where the meat came from. What if it was rat meat?"

"Don't overthink it, just eat it. If you put it that way, I can only keep it with me and wait until I'm less bothered by it before I can bring myself to eat it!"

Lin Xiufeng continued counting, only to be disappointed to find that there was nothing of value.

Generally speaking, it's similar to the belongings of the four people with triangular eyes.

However, it's reasonable that they were originally in cahoots.

There are two gold rings.

"Could it be Meng Ge's wife's? Could it be that his wife has an incurable disease, leaving Meng Ge all alone, and he came to the other world of Tianwu Realm because he had no desire to live?"

Zhao Youyue's rapid association reminded Lin Xiufeng of his father.

"Is it possible that Meng Ge stole a couple's rings?"

"Hmm... I think so."

Zhao Youyue stopped and continued emptying other backpacks.

After emptying several backpacks, there were no surprises.

Sister Yin has more nice things: three gold bracelets, ten pairs of gold earrings, five gold bracelets, more than twenty gold rings, and seven gold necklaces.

Zhao Youyue pondered and speculated:

"Could gold also have value in this?"

"If someone had a heart that longed to return to the blue planet, they would probably accept gold, right?"

"Micro-robots will be obsolete in a few years and won't be worth much. Just keep the data storage core."

"Gold jewelry doesn't take up much space, and Tianwu Po doesn't care about its weight."

"To be on the safe side, let's bring it along. You get half, I get half, or how about we use the miniature robots to precisely divide it equally?"

"Just divide it as you see fit, no need to be so precise, it's not worth wasting electricity."

Zhao Youyue didn't care, but Lin Xiufeng didn't hold back.

He has been used to managing his own pocket money since he was a child, and he cares about anything of value.

"These watches?"

Lin Xiufeng divided the gold jewelry, trying to distribute it as evenly as possible.

"It's not worth much. The most expensive one is only a few tens of thousands. You can take it with you."

Zhao Youyue glanced at the pile of trinkets and picked through them.

"My apologies, you're a rich and beautiful woman."

Lin Xiufeng packed up the watches, hoping to exchange them for some useful resources in the future.

"She is obviously fair-skinned and beautiful, but not rich, maybe slightly above average."

"I understand! It's slightly above average out of 0.3%."

Lin Xiufeng rummaged through the tattered clothes and suddenly discovered a surprise: two small packets of cakes.

"Oh ho! Oh ho—"

"What?!" Zhao Youyue glanced at it, somewhat disappointed. "This doesn't taste good!"

"They're all mine, I'm not picky."

"It's still edible!"

Zhao Youyue immediately changed her mind, thinking that in the future, when all the good food was gone, she could use it to make do when she was craving something sweet.

"I searched through her clothes and guessed that this young lady didn't want to eat it, probably because she was afraid that Sister Yin would find out."

Lin Xiufeng had high expectations for the treasure hunt, but there were no more surprises.

"In the end, all six of them combined are not as practical as the previous diary!"

Lin Xiufeng leaned against a tree, flipping through the contents of her diary.

He didn't bother to look through the rest of the clothes, because Zhao Youyue was actively examining them one by one.

From the diary, Lin Xiufeng learned about the Heavenly Martial Soul, as well as some techniques for using power, such as the first aid techniques recorded inside, and the commonly used 'Artillery Fist'. He also learned more about the Dream Continent...

The owner of the diary has been in the Heavenly Martial Realm for two and a half years, and has been following Sister Yin for a year and a half. His Heavenly Martial Soul has been upgraded from the third level to the fifth level.

In Lin Xiufeng's eyes, this was too slow.

But Lin Xiufeng soon realized that he had been too impetuous.

The owner of the diary had come close to breaking through many times during that period, but each time he was exhausted by battles, going from almost absorbing all the power of the Heavenly Martial Arts to just barely reaching his ankles.

"Attrition is the greatest enemy of breakthroughs; Sister Yin's four survival rules are not nonsense. The fourth rule: If you can't win, never fight."

'This artillery-firing fist technique is interesting. I wish I could learn it sooner; it would definitely make fighting wolves much easier.'
