Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 835 - 85: The Battle for Shelter (Part 3)

Water Source.

Before entering the Divine Ruins, everyone knew that water was very precious within the ruins.

In a day, there are only four periods available, and searching for water sources within the vast ruins during these periods is no small feat.

The Mountain Barbarians, having lived by hunting for tens of thousands of years, have unique methods of finding water sources.

The reason why this group of Mountain Barbarians only found this stone house at nightfall was because the first thing they did upon entering the ruins was to look for water sources.

Without food, a person can last several days, but without water, even enduring a day and night is very difficult.

The environmental changes in the Divine Ruins are very harsh, making water even more precious under such circumstances.

Therefore, upon learning that the Mountain Barbarians knew the whereabouts of a water source, the members of the Four Symbols Team, including Ying Wuwang, were visibly tempted.

Meanwhile, the members of the July Team each wore an alert expression, consciously distancing themselves from the group.

Dozens of eyes swept onto Yue Jinghua.

That group of Mountain Barbarians regarded Yue Jinghua with strange expressions, unexpectedly bewildered that this seemingly tender and youthful boy was the leader among these people.

Ruo Pan and Feng Buhui both felt a bit tense. Although they did not believe that the captain would send them into a trap, they also understood the importance of the water source.

Yue Jinghua’s character is one of determination, unwilling to relent until reaching her goal. If she were to...

"Water is indeed very important," Yue Jinghua calmly stated, despite the numerous gazes.

Upon uttering these words, several members of the Four Unlikes Team breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Yue Jinghua understood the big picture, sacrificing two comrades for a precious water source.

"Jinghua!" Shalman exclaimed in surprise, unable to believe Yue Jinghua would say such words.

"However, back in my hometown, there’s a saying: ’Humans are the most precious asset, to hell with the water source,’" Yue Jinghua remarked, spitting as she spoke. Her spit sprayed right onto the face of the female Mountain Barbarian. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The female Mountain Barbarian let out a blood-curdling scream as her face instantly turned into a bloody mess.

It turned out that when Yue Jinghua spat, she had filled her mouth with Dark Energy, and as it sprayed out, her spit was as hard as iron sand, instantly causing the female Mountain Barbarian’s face to burst.

A moment earlier, faces were smiling, yet now, killing intent filled the air.

With a single spit, Yue Jinghua vanished and reappeared like a wound-up spring. In her hand, a white flash passed through the neck of the female Mountain Barbarian.

With a chilling hiss, a hair-thin bloodline appeared on the female Mountain Barbarian’s neck.

The bloodline grew wider, eventually erupting like floodwaters, spraying everywhere.

The ground was smeared with blood red, and the female Mountain Barbarian’s head had already rolled to the ground.

"Waaah," the group of Mountain Barbarians cried out in anger, seeing their companion struck down.

They swung their chains, slicing through the air like venomous snakes, whizzing towards Yue Jinghua.

Over twenty Mountain Barbarians surrounded Yue Jinghua with chains from all sides, each aiming to strike key parts like her eyes, nose, mouth, knees, and joints.

The members of the July Team immediately tensed, preparing to rush forward and fight alongside Yue Jinghua.

Just then, everyone felt a blinding flash and instinctively squinted.

Ying Wuwang moved.

Quietly observing from the side, Ying Wuwang now held a long, curved blade in his hand.

The blade, resembling a Tachi, was narrow and slender, a double-edged sword, emitting a chilling, icy light. Upon reflection, it shone a snowy hue, causing everyone to instinctively shield their eyes.

At that moment, Ying Wuwang was drenched in a killing aura, his figure moving as one with the blade.

In silence, several dozen Mountain Barbarians’ bodies were bisected, crashing to the ground.

Each body was cut at the waist, with clean edges devoid of blood, the wounds charred as if burned by fire.

Yet, the Tachi-shaped demon weapon in Ying Wuwang’s hand transformed from pure white to blood-red, trembling as it absorbed the blood, emitting a formidable blade hum.

Ying Wuwang pointed the sword at a remaining Mountain Barbarian.

Among all the Mountain Barbarians, this one was the smallest, appearing to be a female Mountain Barbarian.

She trembled, staring at the murderous Tachi, fear the only expression on her grotesque face.

The demon blade "Blood Slaughter," one swing, and countless graves mourn.

With just one move, he had slaughtered over twenty robust and mighty Mountain Barbarians.

The power of this move seemed even more formidable than her own "Sky Splitting," Yue Jinghua mused.

"Little Brother Yue is right; people are the most precious asset. As the captain, I must ensure the safety of my comrades. If I am unwilling, no one is allowed to harm you in the slightest," Ying Wuwang smiled charmingly, causing everyone to feel an illusion.

On Ying Wuwang’s back, it seemed like black wings had sprouted— a devil, truly a devil.

He was born for slaughter.

The members of the July Team felt a stiffness at their waists, as if Ying Wuwang’s blade had just been slashed at their own waists.

This was a demonstration, a warning—while it seemed he was killing the Mountain Barbarians, in truth, it was a caution to them.

If Ying Wuwang so desired, he could ensure their safety, yet, similarly, he could easily slaughter them like these Mountain Barbarians.

"Waaah," the lone female Mountain Barbarian cried in terror. Unfamiliar with the language of the Human Race, she was driven insane by the death of her companions, endlessly begging for mercy.

"She says the water source is at a temple in the northwestern part of the city," Yue Jinghua declared, though disliking the Mountain Barbarians, she had no intention of killing them all. After all, they were Human Race, twenty-something living lives instantly wiped out—this feeling wasn’t pleasant.

"Northwestern corner? There’s some distance from here. Let’s search tomorrow," Ying Wuwang said, waving the Tachi through the female Mountain Barbarian’s throat; blood instantly flooded everyone’s eyes. "These ugly Mountain Barbarians only taint the world’s sight if left alive."

After killing everyone, Ying Wuwang cleaned the Tachi, put it away, and looked at the Merit Ring on his hand, gaining over two hundred Merit Points. This group of Mountain Barbarians possessed Dark Heavenly Cultivation.

Yet, Ying Wuwang’s expression remained indifferent, as if the bodies on the ground were nothing. Who would have thought this seemingly amiable person was actually a remorseless killer?
