Xu Fang stretched out his hand and, with a seemingly effortless stroke, severed the large head cleanly from its root with his sonic blade, leaving it bloody on the ground.
"I can't accept this..." the burly man said.
"It's alright, I'll just keep it to feed the bugs," Xu Fang said casually with a smile.
Everyone: "!!!"
A chubby boy remarked instinctively, "That was a perfect performance, I'd give it a perfect score."
Snapped!
His father slapped him on the forehead with a palm-sized hand and scolded, "How rude! How can you talk like that?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
Xu Fang laughed and said, "He's right. The reason I work so hard to cultivate is so that I can show off in the future."
The chubby boy immediately became smug: "Look..."
Before he could finish speaking, his father glared at him, and he shut his mouth, feeling wronged and afraid to say anything more.
······
Although it was called a bonfire party, it actually started in the morning.
First, there were horse races and lassoing, which weren't very exciting to watch.
It's not that their technology is weak; the main problem is the presence of the grassland wolf tribe. With so few warhorses left, it's not good if their numbers aren't high enough.
There's nothing you can do about it; even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice. Even great leaders had to make their planes fly twice back then.
In comparison, wrestling is much more entertaining; this sport is also known locally as Bok.
The two wrestlers, their bare upper bodies bulging with muscles that looked like they were about to explode, moved with incredible agility, grappling with each other using their powerful arms.
"it is good!"
"come on!"
Whenever one side throws their opponent to the ground, the entire arena erupts in thunderous applause and cheers.
"Hey!"
The victorious wrestler was led to the high platform where the wolf's head was placed. When he passed Xu Fang, he suddenly stopped and said respectfully, "Commander Xu, you are the strongest eagle on the grassland. I want to challenge you!"
Xu Fang was drinking yogurt when, before he could speak, the old man next to him shouted sternly, "Batu, how dare you!"
"fine."
Xu Fang waved his hand: "Since we're already here, it's fine to have some fun."
"You want to participate?" The person sitting next to Xu Fang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Why don't you reconsider?"
It's not that I'm afraid Xu Fang will steal the spotlight. Just kidding, this grand event was only able to be held because he wiped out the grassland wolf tribe. He's the real protagonist!
He was mainly afraid that Xu Fang would lose.
These high-ranking mages are usually inseparable from their magic, and they're generally not good at physical combat like this. Especially Batu, who's tall and strong; his size is enough to fit Xu Fang inside him!
Xu Fang is their benefactor; what if he loses in front of so many people...?
Batu, you clueless idiot! We'll deal with him after the event!
Batu was drenched in sweat as he stood awkwardly among the angry glares of the elders, uncles, and village chief. The big man looked like a schoolboy being scolded.
"Come on, let's play together."
Xu Fang put his arm around his shoulder: "What are the rules?"
Batu was even more frightened. He swallowed hard and forced a smile, saying, "It's a simple 'pounce, pull, throw, trip' game. The one who falls first or whose knees or above touch the ground loses... Commander Xu, I was impolite just now. How about we..."
"Young man, do you think I can't beat you?" Xu Fang laughed. "Before I awakened my magic, I trained in street fighting. Three or five ordinary people can't get close to me."
Batu gave a dry laugh.
He was already thinking about how to feign defeat in a more convincing way, so that he could both smooth things over and make Xu Fang look good in front of everyone.
But to his despair, he discovered that there was absolutely no way to help him.
With Xu Fang's physique, he's no match for me!
If he could time travel, he would definitely travel back to a minute earlier and watch himself, who had lost his mind and was spouting nonsense, fight two big bullies from both sides!
With his mind still a bit fuzzy, Batu stood inside the circle.
The greeting was performed.
They got into position.
He held off the other person's body.
Then it flew away on its own.
Batu: "???"
Sitting on the ground, I stared blankly at the sky. The sky was so blue, the grass so soft, and the uncles who surrounded me looked so scary.
"Batu, is your brain stuffed with wolf dung?" The village chief was so angry that his heart was pounding. If it weren't for the fact that so many people were watching, he would have already smacked him with his cane.
This is outrageous! This is blatant fraud!
Oh, so he just casually tossed it around and sent this big guy, weighing over 200 pounds and as heavy as a large piece of pork, flying out of the air? Are you kidding me?
"I didn't!" Batu said, feeling extremely aggrieved. He sat up and returned to the circle, getting into position again.
Then it flew away again.
"See! I told you so!" Batu shouted excitedly as he lay on the ground. It wasn't that he went easy on the opponent; it was simply because he was bad at the game!
"What are you yelling about? You're making a fool of yourself! Go find somewhere cool!" The village chief didn't want to see this silly young man for another second. He had almost lost all face in front of Xu Junsi!
It's getting late.
An elder in a long robe played the melodious morin khuur (horsehead fiddle). As the music rose and fell, men, women, and children from the grasslands joined in the dance.
In the center, a roaring bonfire flickered, its light reflecting on everyone's faces, warm and bright, dispelling the chill of the grassland.
The girls, holding flower baskets, tossed the fresh flowers they had picked into the air, where they danced upwards along with the colorful ribbons hanging from the yurts.
Xu Fang didn't jump. Instead, he sat on the grass, gazing at the scene in a daze, and took out his phone to take a picture.
Everyone in the photo is beaming with smiles.
It was a genuine smile from the heart, as if they had never experienced the ravages of demons.
not far away.
The girls clucked and played around like little hens, constantly urging one of them to step forward.
"Don't do this, I... I wouldn't dare."
"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it even better to be afraid of being taken advantage of?"
"Exactly, exactly. Look at your despicable body, isn't this all for this moment?"
Narentuya's cheeks flushed red: "Okay, okay, stop fooling around!"
She looked at the smiling young man, her face flushed, and her voice lowered: "I am not good enough for him... It is enough to just watch him quietly."
She knew this from the beginning.
Being a dreamer and someone who loves to be moved by their own dreams doesn't mean they lack reason.
The previous attempts to strike up a conversation had exhausted all her courage, and she knew in her heart that those burning eyes would not linger on her.
He belongs to everyone, like a shield protecting everyone. Forcing him to stay will only cause more people to lose their lives.
—This tragic aesthetic is so captivating! Just imagining it brings tears to Narentuya's eyes.
The companions exchanged glances.
"Okay, we were just joking."
"Don't be sad, Toya, let's go dancing!"
"Yes, yes, we know in our hearts that you are not good enough for him."
"...If you don't know how to comfort someone, then don't try!"
They didn't know how long they jumped or what time they played, but when the campfire burned out, everyone reluctantly got up and headed back.
Xu Fang also set off to leave, leaving some money on the table before he left, as payment for the beef and mutton he had made over the past few days.
······
Soaring into the sky, the initial view was of a vast and boundless grassland, lush and green, with herds of cattle and sheep grazing on the rich pastures that were usually occupied by wolves under the blue sky and white clouds.
Soon, the outline of the grassland began to blur.
A silver city came into view.
After the city, what remains are endless mountain ranges and winding rivers.
The mountains rise and fall, layer upon layer, and the rivers shimmer with silver light under the sunlight, like silver ribbons flowing through the valleys.
This is Changbai Mountain, a land of demons and monsters, a place to seek treasures.
Where there is treasure, there will naturally be more hunters.
With more hunters, there are naturally more disputes and various thorny conflicts.
In stark contrast to the enormous workload, the wages were shockingly low. What's most tragic is that with such low wages, there was nowhere to spend money, and the surrounding area was utterly desolate.
There's a saying circulating in the magic associations of Northeast China: if you want to scare a mage who isn't officially employed, you can say this: "If you don't work properly, we'll transfer you to the branch association at the foot of Changbai Mountain."
Demons can frighten children into silence, and the Changbai Mountain Magic Association can instill fear in even a mage.
This is Xu Fang's destination.
