Terraria: The Digitalized Me Is Causing Chaos

The north wind was bleak, and two figures on horseback walked on the road.

Although the temperature here was much better compared to the snow-covered situation on Mount Hua, the wind blowing on their faces still felt like small knives.

"The weather here is starting to get cold too..."

Yang Tao looked at the slightly gloomy sky, which seemed like it could snow at any moment, turned his head to look at Lin Pingzhi, and asked:

"How are you? Are you cold?"

Hearing Senior Brother's concerned voice, Lin Pingzhi tightened his cotton coat and said, "Senior Brother, I'm fine."

Yang Tao shook his head, took out his phone, and checked the map and the time.

"Let's rest here first. We'll be able to reach the seaside tomorrow."

The reason for not choosing to let him reach the destination first and then teleport Lin Pingzhi over using a teleportation crystal tower was mainly to temper Lin Pingzhi, who had never suffered hardships since childhood.

Although Lin Pingzhi's personality had changed greatly after the Qingcheng Sect incident.

But deep down, he was still somewhat weak.

The two dismounted and walked towards the flat ground beside the road. Yang Tao took out a bonfire and some food, and they just sat on the ground to rest.

"Pingzhi, how do you feel about this trip?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Pingzhi paused his eating motion, then said with a complicated expression, "Senior Brother, I've learned a lot."

Thinking of the Yuan Dynasty soldiers who had died by his hand along the way, Lin Pingzhi felt as though his hands were covered in blood.

Looking at Lin Pingzhi's appearance, Yang Tao smiled and didn't say much, just took out some food from his backpack and handed it to him.

"Eat, and we'll continue on our way after resting for a while."

Lin Pingzhi obediently took the food and slowly began to eat.

A gust of cold wind blew past, sweeping up the fallen leaves on the ground.

After resting for a while, the two continued on their journey. They traveled for two hours, and the sky had grown somewhat dim.

The unique smell of the sea breeze could already be clearly sniffed in the air.

"We're almost there!"

Hearing Yang Tao's words, the tired Lin Pingzhi immediately perked up.

"Senior Brother, have we arrived?"

"Yes, we're very close to the seaside now. The sky has already darkened. You'll rest here tonight, and we'll set sail tomorrow."

Yang Tao sat on horseback, took out his phone, and looked at the small map on it. A few more kilometers to the east, and he could see the view of the sea.

Just as he was about to say something, an unexpected incident occurred.

"Stop!!"

Several burly men sprang out from the woods beside the road. Leading them was a strong man with a fierce face.

He stood in the middle of the road, holding a worn-out woodcutting knife, looking very much like he owned the place.

Yang Tao's mouth twitched twice. Judging by the clothes on these people, they were no different from ordinary commoners.

They were even worse off, likely due to not changing or washing for a long time in the wilderness.

"If you two want to pass through here, you'll have to leave some money for the road. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

Although the leading man looked exceptionally fierce and was waving the very sharp woodcutting knife in his hand to pump himself up.

But his thin body was not convincing at all.

It was clear that these people were just starving and had no choice but to rob travelers.

"Sigh~"

Yang Tao looked at these people, his heart filled with emotion for a moment. He had overthrown the Yuan Dynasty precisely because he didn't want to see such scenes.

"Pingzhi, you go. Don't kill anyone this time."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

As soon as Lin Pingzhi finished speaking, his entire body leaped up from the horse's back, and he drew the long sword from his waist.

The long sword turned into a cold light and struck directly at the leading man's face.

The man's face changed drastically. While raising the woodcutting knife in his hand, he shouted loudly, "They are martial arts practitioners, run quickly!"

Yang Tao smiled upon hearing this, "They really are novices, they don't even know jargon. Shouldn't they be shouting 'Wind's tight, let's pull out' at this time?"

His voice wasn't loud, but Lin Pingzhi still heard it clearly, stumbling and nearly falling to the ground.

'Could it be that Senior Brother Yang Tao used to be a bandit?'

He recalled the scene where Yang Tao used his father as bait to lure those martial artists.

Adjusting his movements, he stabbed directly at the man in front of him. The opponent's woodcutting knife was incredibly slow in his eyes.

Bang...

The long sword struck the woodcutting knife. The man only felt a huge force surge in, his body uncontrollably retreated, and finally, he sat down on the ground.

Lin Pingzhi did not stop his movements, but instead charged towards the robbers who were preparing to flee.

Lin Pingzhi couldn't handle experts, but against this group of ordinary people, his strength was like a fierce tiger charging into a flock of sheep.

In just a few breaths, this group of robbers was easily subdued by Lin Pingzhi.

And the most severely injured person was merely struck across the face by Lin Pingzhi's sword, leaving a bright red mark.

Yang Tao rode his horse forward, looking down at the man sprawled on the ground, and asked softly, "Which mountain stronghold are you from?"

The man who had originally looked fierce now had a face full of terror. He flipped over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing while saying:

"Adult, we are just commoners from the surrounding villages. We just couldn't survive, so we took the risk and came out to rob..."

"Please, Adult, spare our lives!"

Yang Tao didn't speak but took out a jar, shook it, and Xiao Qing, who was resting, immediately appeared beside him.

"Gongzi..."

A soft voice came from Xiao Qing's mouth, but it made everyone present feel a prickling sensation on their scalps.

The man immediately buried his head on the ground, not daring to look up at all.

Even in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, there was a look of astonishment.

Yang Tao ignored their reactions, pointed at those people with his finger, and said, "Xiao Qing, see if these people have killed anyone."

"If they have, just kill them."

Xiao Qing's expression didn't change at all; she still looked at Yang Tao with that reverent gaze.

"Gongzi, you can rest assured leaving this matter to your servant."

Xiao Qing lightly floated towards the people on the ground, carefully sensing the aura emanating from them.

People can lie, but souls cannot.

After circling around, Xiao Qing's gaze turned towards Lin Pingzhi. Her originally gentle eyes were now filled with killing intent.

This killing intent made Lin Pingzhi feel as if he had been targeted by a fierce beast; an extremely cold aura enveloped his body.

Subconsciously, he tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand, preparing for defense. Just as he couldn't help but launch an attack, Yang Tao's voice came.

"Xiao Qing, he's one of us."

Instantly, Lin Pingzhi felt a sense of spring warmth and blooming flowers; the originally cold aura vanished in an instant.

Looking at the girl named Xiao Qing before him again, her warm smile made him feel a sense of being healed.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood!"

She lightly bowed towards Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi stared blankly at Xiao Qing's back. For some reason, his heart was beating very fast.

Xiao Qing did not notice Lin Pingzhi's abnormality, or rather, her mind was not on Lin Pingzhi at all.

She floated back in front of Yang Tao and said very respectfully, "Gongzi, these people do not have any malevolent aura..."

No malevolent aura meant that these people had not taken any lives. It was impossible to tell if this was their first time robbing travelers.

But at least they were not people of great evil.

Yang Tao dismounted and stood in front of the leading man, smiling as he asked, "I can give you a chance to escape poverty..."

"But your lives will belong to me from now on."

"Think about it, are you willing to come with me?"
