Chapter 6 New Talent: Flash!
Feng Murong sent a notice to all factions.
It was publicly announced that Xiao Yu had disobeyed the city lord and committed a serious mistake, and was therefore stripped of his position as the young city lord.
His younger brother, Xiao Tiande, is both talented and capable, and has officially succeeded as the young city lord, who will also be the future city lord of Yan City!
However, all factions were shocked the moment they received the announcement.
"Have Xiao Ting and his wife gone mad? They actually betrayed their benefactor, forcing their eldest son Xiao Yu to leave and making their second son Xiao Tian the young city lord? Even if Xiao Yu is crippled, he should still have his experience in finding survival supplies!"
"Exactly! In the wilderness, food and water are the most essential things!"
"As long as we find enough survival supplies, we also have a chance to build a larger base!"
"Have these two gotten so used to being high and mighty over the years that they've lost their minds?"
……
The couple did not clear Xiao Yu's name.
This led to many people cursing Xiao Yu, calling him a deserter who caused the deaths of three hundred people at the base.
However, many people also feel that even if it is true, so what?
This is the end times, where human life is as cheap as grass.
What does it matter if hundreds or even thousands of people are killed?
As long as Xiao Yu can keep finding survival supplies, he will be a treasure to any force!
Even if he's crippled, we can simply assign someone to protect him closely and have him specifically responsible for finding supplies...
However, after reading the full content of Feng Murong's announcement, everyone was in an uproar once again.
Because the content was so unbelievable, a warning was issued to all factions: do not harbor Xiao Yu...
Yan City's current strength and status are due to Xiao Yu's ability to always find food and water!
Therefore, many people wanted to take Xiao Yu in.
With food and water, they can recruit a large number of superhumans and ordinary people, and become the next Flame City.
But now, all the forces surrounding Yan City have given up on the idea.
Because none of them had the courage to withstand Xiao Ting's wrath!
……
At the foot of a large mountain.
Dozens of thatched huts were sparsely scattered across the area.
This is a small village called Maple Leaf.
"One at a time, everyone gets one!"
"Auntie, you're not feeling well, here's an extra piece of rabbit meat for you. It's alright, you can eat it, I'm not hungry..."
In the center of the thatched hut, there was a large stone pot, inside which was boiling an unknown plant. It was dark, very sticky, and constantly bubbling, with a smell even more unpleasant than Chinese medicine.
However, the stone pot was surrounded by a large crowd.
These people, dressed in rags, were all staring intently at the pot, their mouths watering.
Beside the stone pot, a stunningly beautiful girl, her face covered in soot from the bottom of the pot, was rolling up her sleeves and ladling out dark meat soup for everyone. If someone was feeling unwell, she would give them an extra piece of meat.
She looked to be in her early twenties, but she was very composed and capable.
Her short, fiery red hair was as vibrant as flames, and her ruby-like eyes were dazzling.
Seeing everyone happily drinking the soup, the girl also smiled with satisfaction.
"Sister, come quick! This was sent by the Yan City base. Brother Yu is in trouble..."
At this moment, a girl who looked about 70-80% similar to the red-haired girl, about 14 or 15 years old, with a pretty and lovely appearance, rushed over anxiously and handed over a piece of parchment.
Unlike the red-haired girl.
She has long, wavy, light blue hair and eyes as blue as the ocean.
"Show me quickly!"
The red-haired girl handed the soup spoon to the others and immediately took the parchment scroll to look at it.
The next second, her delicate brows furrowed instantly.
"What? Xiao Yu was forced into a corner and has already left Yan City?"
"Wasn't he seriously injured and crippled? Where is he now?"
This parchment is the notice sent by Feng Murong.
It tells the whole story of the change of the young city lord, and also mentions that they want to invite the two sisters to join Yan City.
The tribe where the two sisters lived was just a small settlement that brought together more than two hundred refugees.
Such a small force is negligible in the face of the behemoth that is Yan City.
Not to mention that the Maple Leaf Tribe's fighting strength is average, they often fail to hunt prey, and people frequently starve to death.
However, both sisters are Awakened Ones, one with fire and the other with water, possessing limitless potential.
That's why I received Feng Murong's invitation.
Xiao Yu grew up in the wilderness and had known the two sisters for a long time; they had a very close relationship.
He was filled with admiration when he learned that the Maple Leaf Tribe was helping those refugees free of charge.
He helped the tribe several times and taught them how to hunt and find resources for survival.
Thanks to Xiao Yu's help, the small camp barely survived, and the two sisters were always very grateful to Xiao Yu.
The people of Yancheng said that Xiao Yu deserted and caused the deaths of three hundred comrades, but the two sisters resolutely refused to believe it.
Unexpectedly, these people went so far as to drive Xiao Yu to a dead end.
"Sister, Brother Yu is seriously injured and stranded in the wilderness. He must be in great danger!"
"Hmm... those people in Yan City don't care whether he lives or dies, but we do! Let's go! Let's find him right now! As long as he's willing, this is his home, and we are his family!"
The two sisters exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with anxiety, and immediately set off.
They were going to the wilderness to find that person! Someone who was very important to them!
He was seriously injured and stranded in the wilderness, his life in imminent danger. We must find him as soon as possible.
They completely ignored Xiao Ting and Feng Murong's warnings!
……
Xiao Yu's defection from Yan City caused quite a stir in the wilderness.
Without his tireless efforts in finding supplies, Yancheng would be facing a water shortage!
In an attempt to alleviate the water shortage, the city lord Xiao Ting broke his promise and withheld water from the common people.
This action immediately sparked protests from all civilians.
After all, it takes ordinary people a long time of hard work to accumulate 10 energy stones per year.
I'm already drenched in sweat from working every day, and I'm exhausted like a dog.
As a result, not only could they not wash off their sweaty bodies, but they also couldn't even get a sip of water when they were thirsty!
How can we live like this?
But he was faced with Xiao Ting's domineering and high-pressure tactics.
These are commoners of lowly status.
In the end, they could only grit their teeth and silently endure it.
However, they had all decided that after living here for a year, they would move away from Yan City immediately.
Xiao Ting never imagined that his brilliant plan would completely enrage tens of thousands of civilians.
Several months later, as these people gradually leave, the glory of Yan City may be gone forever.
Xiao Yu had long anticipated these things.
However, he doesn't care about Yan Cheng's life or death at all right now.
When he was wronged, the people of Yancheng not only did not speak up for him, but even kicked him when he was down!
Therefore, even if Yan City is destroyed one day, he will not meddle in other people's business!
Now, all he wants is to improve his strength and live a free and unrestrained life.
After all, he had suffered too much in both his lives, and his talents were never recognized.
Now that I have the system, it's impossible for me to be content with mediocrity.
Hunting in the wilderness is not so easy.
Sometimes you think you're a hunter, but your identity suddenly changes.
From hunter to prey!
The car suddenly overturned, catching everyone off guard!
Therefore, although Xiao Yu is quite strong, he only hunts first-tier ferocious beasts and must hold back!
In the wilderness, you must never risk your life.
Because of exhaustion, he could die at any moment!
Hunting down the ferocious beasts one by one is too slow.
Therefore, Xiao Yu collected a large amount of materials such as vines and bamboo to set up various traps.
Using these traps, we hunted more than a dozen ferocious beasts today, a considerable haul.
At this moment, he was looking at a pile of colorful crystals in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.
[System, redeem energy points!]
[Ding! You have gained 11 energy points!]
The next second, the system panel displayed: [Energy Points]: 12
"More than I expected! Time to upgrade the Lightning Sable."
Seeing the numbers on the system panel, Xiao Yu smiled with satisfaction and immediately gave the order.
[Ding! Consumed 10 energy points, Lightning Sable upgraded to Tier 2! New skill gained - Blink!]
