My Text-Based Cultivation Game

Not long after the middle-aged man surnamed Gu finished speaking, a strange power suddenly exploded in the nearby sky.

coming!

The middle-aged man surnamed Gu had already purchased information from underground websites at a different price, and at least four groups of people would be taking action tonight.

The first wave was planning to force their way in and bleed the tree demon; the king-level expert was among them.

They have become excessively lawless, relying on their strength.

The second group did not advocate taking overly violent actions; at least they opposed forcibly storming the army.

They just wanted a piece of the pie and didn't want to be enemies with the authorities.

The third group consisted of foreign awakened individuals who remained in the country. They somehow learned about the tree spirit and wanted a share of the spoils.

As for the fourth wave, it consists of middle-aged men surnamed Gu and others who want to secretly gain some benefits.

They are not part of any organization and can be categorized as "the others".

So the first and second waves of people reached a consensus: the first step would be to exclude the third wave of foreigners.

The second step was to eliminate the army guarding the tree spirit.

The two sides disagreed on this step.

The former advocated for a direct assault, while the latter advocated against a direct confrontation with the army.

However, this disagreement disappeared after the latter promised to remove the military's obstruction.

As for the final distribution of spoils, that will be determined based on the number of spiritual items produced by the tree spirit.

If the number of spirit items produced is large, then the profits will be split in half; if the number of spirit items produced is small, then each person will have to rely on their own abilities.

The middle-aged man surnamed Gu hoped things would develop in the latter direction; the more chaotic things became, the better they, the "fishing in troubled waters," could pick up the scraps.

But for some reason, the middle-aged man surnamed Gu felt a vague unease in his heart.

It seems like... something's missing?

Tree spirit?

The intelligence reports that the tree demon is quite powerful, but it is a stationary target that cannot move. With a king-level expert present and many other powerful individuals, dealing with the tree demon should not be a problem.

Could it be that young, handsome, and powerful expert?

That's even more impossible. If a tree demon can be dealt with, what kind of trouble can a mere commander-level expert cause?

Maybe... I'm just overthinking it.

"boom!"

Just as the middle-aged man surnamed Gu was pondering, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out on the distant hillside, like the opening gong of a play, announcing the official start of tonight's good show!

Turning my head, I saw that Huo Yu had already started watching the show with binoculars.

"Damn it! Huo Yu, you brat, stop thinking only about yourself using binoculars, give me one too!"

……

At that very moment, on a hillside a few kilometers away from the middle-aged man surnamed Gu, explosions were heard one after another. Under the cover of the mud splashed up by the explosions, a blond-haired, blue-eyed man covered his wounds and fled frantically.

Holy crap! Are these Xia people crazy?!

He just wanted to get a share of the pie, so why did they have to provoke him the moment he showed his face?

He didn't even care about those troops, just to kill himself?

Don't you have an old saying, "Everyone who sees it gets a share"? Why are you excluding us like this?

Can't you show some respect for our international friends?

Do you still want our foreign friends to praise you?

"Praise you my ass!"

A roar like that of a tiger shattered the night, followed by a towering figure descending from the sky, landing on the ground like a cannonball and exploding into a patch of earth.

Through night vision binoculars, it can be seen that this tower-like figure is actually a tiger-headed human!

"Still chasing after me?!"

The blond, blue-eyed man exclaimed in fluent Chinese, then, enduring the pain, his body glowed with golden light as he swung his hand and threw several golden orbs at the tiger-headed, human-bodied monster.

The tiger-headed, human-bodied monster snorted and casually slapped the golden orbs away.

"Bang bang bang!"

The ball of light was knocked away and landed on the nearby ground. It exploded and created several circular craters.

"Aren't we all here to seize resources? Aren't we all aiming the same thing? Why are you chasing after me to kill me?"

"What belongs to our Xia Kingdom, is it your place to divide it? Die!"

As he spoke, the ground beneath the tiger-headed, human-bodied monster suddenly exploded, and in the next instant, the tiger-headed, human-bodied monster vanished, reappearing behind the blond, blue-eyed man.

"!!!"

The blond, blue-eyed man's eyes widened in shock. He instinctively crouched down, narrowly managing to snatch the claws of the tiger-headed, human-bodied monster from behind him.

He then rolled over without regard for his image, putting distance between himself and the tiger-headed, human-bodied monster.

"That little kitten is really fierce." The blond, blue-eyed man, who had barely dodged the attack, let out a long breath. "But little kitten, don't you think I don't have a backup plan?"

The tiger-headed human seemed to sense something, glanced westward, then crossed his arms and looked at the blond, blue-eyed man with amusement.

"Really? Then show me your backup plan."

"This kitten is not only fierce but also so careless. Goodbye then!"

The blond, blue-eyed man slapped the ground with both hands, and a circular golden magic circle instantly appeared on the ground. Then he shouted, "Spin!"

A blinding light burst from the golden magic circle, and a confident smile appeared on the lips of the blond, blue-eyed man. This was a spatial teleportation magic circle from the inherited knowledge he received when he awakened his spiritual power. It could instantly teleport him five kilometers away, making it invincible for escaping.

During the transfer, you may suddenly feel a sense of dislocation, which can easily cause dizziness and nausea.

Therefore, when using this move, he would always close his eyes tightly to resist the feeling of nausea.

But when the magic circle was activated, the blond-haired, blue-eyed man did not feel the familiar nausea for a long time.

Slowly opening his eyes, the blond-haired, blue-eyed man discovered that his magic circle was enveloped by a blue magic circle with strange runes moving around it.

At the same time, a young man emitting blue light gracefully descended slowly from the sky in front of him.

"Looks like your backup plan isn't working out." The tiger-headed, human-bodied monster said to the blond, blue-eyed man with a slightly sarcastic tone.

"I!"

The blond, blue-eyed man was genuinely panicked this time, but it's precisely in situations like this that one must remain calm!

Although I don't know why, it must be the work of this young man emitting blue light in front of me!

Then kill him!

The blond, blue-eyed man's eyes gleamed, and he casually summoned several golden orbs, which he then blasted towards the young man.

The young man didn't seem to take the blond, blue-eyed man's attack seriously. He pulled out a folding fan from his waist, opened it, and with a casual wave, the golden balls disappeared completely.

One-hundredth of a second later, the sound of an explosion came from afar.

What?!

Now the blond, blue-eyed man understood why his magic circle had failed: the man in front of him had awakened spatial abilities!

While his own teleportation array was indeed useful, it was no match for a powerful being who had awakened spatial abilities and whose strength was no less than his own.

Well, this is really the end.

The tiger-headed, human-bodied monster cracked its knuckles as it approached the blond, blue-eyed man step by step.

"Run! Keep running! Why did you stop?"

As he spoke, the tiger-headed, human-bodied monster raised its fist, about to smash the blond man's dog head in half with a single punch.

"Alright, Little Tiger." The young man tapped the tiger-headed, human-bodied fist with his folding fan. "Don't kill him. Leave him to the authorities."

"ha?"

Upon hearing this, the blond, blue-eyed man was overjoyed, knowing that these Xia people wouldn't dare kill him!

But the young man's next words plunged the blond, blue-eyed man's heart into an ice cave once again.

"The inherited knowledge in his head is still quite useful. Besides, he is a strong person after all, and there are many aspects of him that can be studied."
