In the forest, a silhouette flashed past as fast as lightning.
A moment later, Tang Hao arrived near the nest.
He was shocked by what he saw. The entire area was in ruins, as though someone had fought a war there.
“What’s… going on?”
Tang Hao was stunned.
He clearly remembered that the place looked totally different the last time he was there.
“Shards! Where are my shards?” Tang Hao rushed forward anxiously and started searching.
He did not want to lose the two gold shards!
“It’s not here. It’s not here either!” He dug with his bare hands and searched everywhere.
“Hm? There’s a shard here. There’s one here too. Wow, there’s another one!” Tang Hao suddenly found iron shards. He dug up five shards in a short time.
‘Could someone else have come to deal with that stupid bird while I was gone?
‘Damn, how bold! Do they have a death wish?
‘Whatever. That’s good for me!’
Tang Hao searched around happily. In a short while, he found a few more shards.
Suddenly, the demonic roc that was resting in its nest raised its head. There was a glint in its penetrating gaze.
‘Another one of those two-legged insects!’
It was quite angry. The endless harassment took away precious nesting time with its eggs.
Now that things had calmed down in the past two days, another one appeared again.
‘I’ll show you insects my power!’
It stood up, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky. When it looked in Tang Hao’s direction, it was instantly stunned.
‘This insect looks familiar!’
At that moment, Tang Hao also raised his head to look at it.
Man and bird stared at each other for a long time.
‘Wait. Isn’t he the culprit? He’s the one who brought me so much trouble!’
The demonic roc remembered who Tang Hao was and roared angrily.
That two-legged insect wanted to steal its eggs. That was unforgivable.
It flapped its wings crazily, raising a violent wind that poured toward the ground.
Tang Hao shrieked and started to run.
He activated the Fleetfoot Stride technique, and each step took him several meters away. He instantly got out of range of the bombing.
He turned around to look at the roc and let out a sigh of relief. Then, he flipped the bird at the roc in the sky.
Another shrill cry shook the sky.
The demonic roc was furious. How dare that two-legged insect provoke it!
It flapped its wings again. A black gale appeared around its body and swept toward the ground.
Boom! Boom!
The ground shook violently.
Tang Hao escaped with his footwork technique again. He pointed his middle finger at the roc again at the periphery.
The demonic roc became even more furious. It swooped down and bombarded crazily.
Tang Hao continued to run. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a golden light from the corner of his eye.
He looked carefully and saw that it was a gold shard. It rested in a mound of loose soil, having been blown away by the explosion.
“Don’t run!”
Tang Hao shouted loudly. He rushed over to grab the shard and soon saw the other one. He ran over and kept it in his bag.
“Bye bye!”
He had to get away as fast as possible. If he accidentally died, he would lose the shards again.
The demonic roc tried to catch up to Tang Hao, but Tang Hao was fast and crafty. It was helpless even though it was furious, and it eventually gave up.
It let out a long cry and flew back to its nest.
Tang Hao sat down and panted.
Then, he grinned and muttered, “It was a good idea to learn this technique first. Things would have been a lot harder if I didn’t.”
He took out the shards and counted them. He looted a total of two gold shards and twenty iron shards, which meant that he picked up a windfall of seventeen iron shards.
“Not bad!”
Tang Hao stashed them in his bag and stood up.
“What should I do next? Oh, right, let’s go earn some more shards!”
Tang Hao headed deep into the mountains.
Meanwhile, the market was in an uproar.
Everyone looked in the direction of the mountains in disbelief.
Just a moment ago, they were hunting that kid down. They did not expect that the angry roar of the demonic roc could be heard in the mountains again. It was obvious that the kid had gone to the roc’s nest again.
“Is that kid crazy? Does he have a death wish?”
“Ha! He is addicted to suicide! Don’t tell me he wants to break the record? He can continue dreaming!”
Some were laughing, but some were shocked.
“Come, guard the entrance and wait for that kid to come to us!”
They surrounded the entrance.
The kid had to pass through the entrance whether he died or not. He would not be able to escape if they guarded the entrance.
Soon, the news of Nameless Qin’s appearance spread to the major factions.
“Heh, that kid has finally appeared. Let’s go and kill him. If we don’t kill him once, it’ll be hard to appease my anger!”
They gritted their teeth and set off with their people.
They did not bring too many people. It should be easy to kill a mere kid, and there was no need to go all out.
They swarmed over and gathered at the market.
Other than the major factions, many people also came to watch the show.
They all wanted to see the true face of the newbie who had broken a record in half a day.
The people camped in the market after understanding the situation.
Soon, the market was packed to the brim with people. Those who came later could only sit outside.
They all waited with bated breath. Everyone wanted to kill the kid at least once.
They waited and waited…
An hour passed.
Two hours passed…
They gradually became impatient.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao killed a lot of beasts in the mountains. After obtaining several iron shards, he was ready to return home.
After he got out of the mountain, he saw the situation at the market and was stunned.
There were people as far as the eye could see. The market was packed to the brim.
Moreover, every one of them had a hostile expression on their faces.
“F*ck! Is there a need for such a display?”
Naturally, those people were not there for sightseeing. Tang Hao guessed that they were waiting for him.
His expression changed, and he was about to run away.
At that moment, someone saw him from afar.
He shouted, “There he is! He’s not dead! Quick, kill him!”
The entire market was in an uproar. Tens of thousands of eyes filled with killing intent swept toward Tang Hao. It was a terrifyingly oppressive gaze.
Tang Hao did not say a word. He turned around and ran.
“Don’t run if you dare, filthy brat!”
“Aren’t you very fond of dying, you filthy brat? I’ll forgive you if you let each of us kill you once!”
They roared furiously and rushed toward him like the incoming tide.
Tens of thousands of people! What a spectacular scene!
‘Oh, my weak heart!’
Tang Hao clutched his chest as he ran. He was extremely nervous.
He rolled his eyes when he heard the curses from behind. If each of them killed him once, he would have died in real life before everyone was done!
He ignored them and continued to run.
