Chapter 202 The Cause of the Incident
"Why did you come back?"
Brother Qiang stared at his son, Ah Dai, with a look of utter astonishment, as if struck by lightning, and asked urgently.
Ah-Dai, however, remained as calm as Mount Tai, plopped down in a chair, and answered casually:
"Archer told me to come back first. He said I was clumsy and would be easily bullied if I stayed there!"
Although he said that, Ah-Dai's heart was in turmoil, silently muttering to himself:
"Hmph, what do you mean I'm clumsy? I'm clearly incredibly skilled at fighting, like a tiger descending a mountain!"
At this moment, Wu Heyi was preparing to test the operation of the energy arm when he heard the commotion and immediately stopped what he was doing, like a statue.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, his mind filled with doubt, as if shrouded in mist.
When Qiang Ge came back earlier, he told him that they had only encountered people from other villages in the outermost area that they could currently reach.
But the news Ah-Dai brought back was like a bolt from the blue: a fight had broken out right outside the village!
"Brother Qiang, what exactly is going on?!"
Wu Heyi stared intently at Qiang Ge with eyes like torches, eager to know the truth.
After exchanging a glance with Wu He, Qiang Ge frowned slightly, his brows furrowing like the character "川" (river), and then quickly began to explain.
"At the time, things happened very suddenly."
We were cautiously exploring the forest when we unexpectedly encountered such a large 800-year-old giant deer!
We were lucky, actually; we killed it by accident.
Just then, a group of people from other villages rushed out from the side. They looked fierce and pointed at us, shouting loudly, insisting that they were the ones who injured the giant antler deer first, and that we just happened to be the ones who got the kill!
Because this was the first time I'd encountered something like this, my heart instantly tightened. Looking at their aggressive demeanor, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
As he spoke, Brother Qiang gestured wildly to describe the scene, as if everything was still vivid in his mind.
His face was beaming with excitement and mockery, completely disregarding the threats from those outsiders.
"When we saw the giant antlered deer fall, a deep yellow spirit ring slowly floated out. The spirit ring emitted a mysterious light, as if it were beckoning us."
We can't just stand by and watch this spirit ring go to waste, can we?
So I made a quick decision and had one of the team members absorb it!
As for the giant antler deer meat, there was only a small amount, which wasn't appealing to us at all, so we decided to leave it all for them!
Qiang Ge spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he had done something incredibly good.
After hearing these words, Wu Heyi immediately understood.
Isn't this exactly the same plot as the Douluo Continent that he knows so well?
Both sides had their eyes on the same soul beast, and after a fierce battle, the key to their endless dispute was none other than that incomparably precious soul ring!
"When you decided to leave later, the other party definitely wouldn't have agreed!"
Their reasoning is probably that you absorbed the most important spirit ring first!
Wu Heyi cut straight to the point, pinpointing the core of the problem, and looked directly at the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Ah-Dai paused for a moment, then scratched his head, a look of embarrassment and awkwardness on his face. He then eagerly blurted out:
"Wow, Brother Wu, you're amazing!"
"You weren't even there at the time, how could you know the situation so clearly and thoroughly!"
"That's right, just like you described, Xiao Wu!"
When I saw that they were all so thin and weak, I naturally assumed that their village was not very powerful.
In my opinion, these people probably don't even know the basics of the food ring technique!
However, to my utter surprise, when we were about to leave, they blocked our way and refused to let us go.
They argued that the deer belonged to them, and that they also had a share of the spirit ring. Although they didn't know exactly how we absorbed the spirit ring, they claimed that our actions had severely violated the unspoken rule that everyone could consume spirit rings, and therefore they wouldn't let us leave!
As he spoke, Qiang pushed Ah Dai aside forcefully, and then continued to recount the series of events that followed.
"Just then, this idiot suddenly appeared and shouted at those people, 'Whoever is stronger should be listened to!'"
Sure enough, the moment he said those words, a fight almost broke out.
When that group of people saw us leave, they followed closely behind us without saying a word.
Actually, my initial idea was very simple: to come and discuss this matter with you first, and then set up a platform for both sides to resolve the issue through a fair competition.
But who could have predicted that these guys would be so impulsive, actually starting a fight right away!
With a helpless expression, Qiang pointed his finger directly in the direction where Adai was, muttering complaints incessantly.
After hearing what Brother Qiang said, Wu He couldn't help but feel uneasy:
This whole thing is probably far more complicated than it appears on the surface!
Thinking of this, he dared not delay any longer and hurriedly called to Brother Qiang and Ah Dai, and rushed towards the village entrance.
The village that now appears before us is completely different from what it looked like when Wu Heyi first arrived.
Back then, the village was laid out haphazardly and without any planning. A mere 200-plus people were crammed into a narrow area that was only the size of one or two basketball courts.
However, after Wu Heyi's ingenious replanning and meticulous improvement, the entire village has undergone tremendous changes.
Even without considering the vast farmland, its coverage area has expanded to the size of two or three standard football fields.
Therefore, it takes quite a bit of time to run from where Wu He Yi lives to the village entrance.
Moreover, Ah Dai rushed over to inform the two of them first, and then Brother Qiang explained the whole story in detail. In this way, at least two or three minutes had quietly passed.
By the time they hurriedly ran outside, if they had been even slightly slow, the conflict outside would probably have already subsided and the dust had settled!
Therefore, Wu Heyi and his two companions didn't say a word. They rushed off like arrows towards the arena, hoping things wouldn't turn out badly.
