Terraria: The Digitalized Me Is Causing Chaos

“Senior Brother, I'm fine…”

Yang Tao's face was still a little pale, and he retched for a long time without throwing up anything.

He waved his hand and quickly said, “Senior Brother, don't worry about me, there are still enemies in the distance…”

The power of the bomb was stronger than he had imagined. One hundred points of attack power manifested in reality was like an 80-yuan iron hammer smashing heavily on an ordinary person.

The lucky ones had their internal organs ruptured and died on the spot, while the unlucky ones were directly riddled with holes by flying iron shards, and weren't even dead yet.

As for the horses, which were closest to the bomb, they were directly blasted into a bloody mess by the impact.

Listening to the wails of the bandits, Yang Tao focused his eyes and looked over. One or two lucky bandits, who happened to be on the outermost edge of the blast, only felt a sweetness in their chests and were thrown off by the frightened horses, unable to stand up for a while.

Linghu Chong's expression was very interesting at the moment, and he was thinking about what would happen if Yang Tao suddenly handed him such a bomb…

Suddenly, he felt that if Yang Tao really stuffed this thing into his hand, he would be curious enough to play with it, and then there would be a 'boom'…

He shook the bloody scene out of his mind. The bandits in the distance also heard the sound and, instead of charging over on their horses, turned around and fled.

“Junior Brother!”

Linghu Chong looked at the fleeing bandits and shook his head helplessly, saying, “Junior Brother, those people have run away, we can't catch up.”

Yang Tao looked in the direction the bandits were leaving and nodded lightly. In fact, if he went after them at full speed now, he might be able to follow them back to their lair, but he should report this matter to his master first and let his master worry about it.

“Senior Brother, kill the bandits who are still alive.”

Linghu Chong looked at the wailing bandits, feeling a little unbearable, and said hesitantly, “Junior Brother, is this appropriate?”

Seeing Linghu Chong's indecisiveness, Yang Tao didn't show any dissatisfaction, but sincerely persuaded him, “Senior Brother, these are bandits, not civilians, and they dared to come to the Huashan territory. Even if they die, it's their own fault.”

From Yang Tao's understanding during this period, these so-called sects were like gangs. Taking Huashan as an example, the surrounding towns and villages were protected by the Huashan Sect, and the villagers would sensibly contribute some money and food as protection fees.

“Look at the scattered grain and money on the ground. Obviously, some villages have suffered. Moreover, given their current situation, I'm afraid they won't live until tomorrow. After finding out which bandits they are, killing them can be considered helping them to be free from suffering.”

Linghu Chong was finally persuaded by Yang Tao, mainly because these bandits were lying on the ground wailing, their faces already bloodless, and one of them was breathing more out than in, and was about to give out.

Stepping on the white snow and the shattered horse meat on the ground, he walked towards the living bandits. A bandit in the best condition covered his chest, looking at Linghu Chong with fear in his eyes, his body uncontrollably retreating.

“Which mountain stronghold are you from? Why did you come to my Huashan Sect's territory?”

“Sir, spare me… spare me…”

Linghu Chong frowned, obviously not very adapted to this kind of interrogation work. Seeing this, Yang Tao also stepped forward. He had never experienced such a thing before.

However, seeing the fear in the bandit's eyes, he squatted down and, in the other party's unbelievable gaze, took out a bomb from his arms and kept tossing it in his hand.

“Now I ask, and you answer. If your answer has nothing to do with my question, I will give you the treasure in my hand.”

A patch of dampness instantly appeared on the bandit's pants. Yang Tao took a small step back in disgust and asked softly, “Which mountain寨 are you people from? How far is it from here?”

“We… we are bandits from Earth Dragon Stronghold, about 180 li from here.”

“How many people are there in the stronghold? How many adult males are there?”

The bandit was obviously collapsing now. Basically, whatever Yang Tao asked, he answered honestly, without the slightest hesitation. After figuring out the specific situation of this group of bandits, Yang Tao stood up and looked at the expression on the other party's face, and a trace of intolerance rose in his heart.

It's all the fault of poverty.

Although reason told him that these people were not worthy of sympathy, he was, after all, still a sentimental creature, and he looked at Linghu Chong, signaling him to make the decision.

Linghu Chong was also very hesitant, looking at the bandit's pleading eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and said, “Junior Brother, how about sparing his life? Let Heaven decide his fate.”

In this snowy environment, if he doesn't find a suitable hiding place in time, he will probably freeze to death before long.

Yang Tao nodded lightly and said, “Since that's the case, then let's leave it to fate.”

He glanced at the corpses on the ground and turned to walk towards the nearest town.

Naturally, there was no need to worry about the corpses. There were many wild wolves in the wilderness during this period. Within half an hour, a pack of wolves smelling the strong bloody smell would clean up everything here. If that bandit hadn't left in time, then he would inevitably become a meal for the wild wolves.

On the way, Yang Tao and Linghu Chong walked in silence. This was Yang Tao's first time killing someone. Although he knew that in the situation just now, it was either killing or being killed, he still hadn't prepared himself for a while.

But if it happened again, he would still throw the bomb in his hand.

“Junior Brother… Junior Brother!”

Yang Tao, who was lost in thought, didn't hear Linghu Chong's call for a while, until Linghu Chong reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then he came back to his senses.

“It's almost here, look ahead.”

Linghu Chong reached out and pointed to a city in the distance. Yang Tao looked over with interest, and what caught his eye was a mud-brick city wall that was not very tall, only about six or seven meters high.

There were not too many people entering and leaving the town gate, probably due to the snow.

“This town looks a bit shabby…”

Suddenly thinking of the bandits just now, and seeing the hurried and sallow-faced people, Yang Tao only felt a burst of emotion in his heart, and a feeling of wanting to do something.

Linghu Chong, who was beside him, looked at Yang Tao, who was standing still, with some doubts in his heart, thinking: 'Could it be that he is thinking about the bandits just now?'

“Junior Brother, are you okay?”

“I'm fine, I just remembered something. Let's go, Senior Brother, let's hurry up and buy the things Master ordered, and report the situation just now as soon as possible.”

Linghu Chong nodded, and the two continued to walk towards the small city in front of them. After a minute or two, Linghu Chong finally couldn't help but ask, “Junior Brother, where did you hide the bomb you took out just now? Why can't I see it?”

Linghu Chong really couldn't imagine where Yang Tao could hide a bomb that was about the size of a grapefruit.

Yang Tao looked at Linghu Chong with an expression that said, “I knew it,” and said, “I thought Senior Brother, you would hold back from asking.”

He rolled his eyes, then put his hand behind his back, and a round bomb appeared in his hand.

“Just a gift.”

Linghu Chong rubbed his eyes, really unable to figure out where Yang Tao had hidden it.
