Chapter 246 A ruthless person!
Guili Forest.
Because the forest was shrouded in mist year-round, making it impossible to see what it looked like, Qianghuan, standing at the forest entrance, was a little scared: "Do we really have to go in?"
"If you're scared, then leave first," Feng Jiutian said coldly.
Qiang Huan immediately retorted, "Who said I'm scared!"
Ji Xiao frowned: "It's quite foggy inside. According to the map, it'll probably take a while to walk."
Ji Xiao was holding a map of Guili Forest that he had bought in the city for ten gold coins. The markings were not very clear, but the directions were still vaguely recognizable.
"Let's go."
Feng Jiutian waved his hand, and the group stepped into the mist of Guili Forest and disappeared.
But before long, they heard a shrill female voice: "Help! Brother!"
Kill people and seize treasures.
Feng Jiutian didn't even need to look before he thought of this.
What good things can happen in Guili Forest? Aside from feuds, it's killing and looting.
Feng Jiutian didn't want to get involved and planned to bypass the sound and head in another direction, but Ji Xiao's sense of justice was overwhelming.
Before Feng Jiutian could speak, Ji Xiao rushed out first!
"Damn it!" Feng Jiutian cursed under his breath, "Follow me."
The remaining three people followed Ji Xiao's shadow, and soon seven or eight people appeared in front of them. Two of them, a man and a woman, were seriously injured and lay on the ground, covered in blood.
A group of people dressed in matching clothes surrounded a man and a woman with ill intentions. Ji Xiao roared and charged forward, driving them away. He then squatted down and asked the two injured people, "Are your injuries serious?"
Feng Jiutian watched coldly from afar. Ruohan made no comment; his attitude was the same as Feng Jiutian's, after all, as the next head of the Ruo family, he had more experience than others.
Feng Zhi and Qiang Huan, the two girls, wanted to rush up and help, but after seeing Feng Jiutian's appearance, they held back.
"I'm fine."
The rescued woman cried out softly, and Ji Xiao helped her up.
"Thank you so much, my benefactor. So please, my benefactor, die!"
The woman, who had been speaking sweetly, suddenly became ferocious, and her ice element instantly condensed into an ice spike, which she stabbed fiercely at Ji Xiao!
Ji Xiao was a martial artist with thick skin and tough flesh, but he was still injured when he was caught off guard. The man behind him also used his elemental power to deliver a fatal blow to Ji Xiao!
At this moment, Feng Jiutian made a move.
The figure vanished from the spot in a flash, the killing intent domain condensed and transformed into a tangible blade, directly severing the man's head. The woman kicked him to the ground!
Ji Xiao, still seemingly in disbelief, clutched her chest and murmured, "Why..."
He clearly saved those two people...
"Snapped!"
Feng Jiutian slapped Ji Xiao across the face and said coldly, "Are you awake now?"
"This is the Tenglong Continent! The place you're standing on is the Guili Forest!" Feng Jiutian's voice was cold and ruthless: "So don't treat this like child's play. No one will play the hero-saves-the-damsel game with you. This is a real world where the strong prey on the weak!"
Ruohan stepped forward and reminded him, "This isn't the academy, Ji Xiao."
Feng Zhi felt a chill run down her spine after seeing the truth clearly, because of the couple's conspiracy, and even more grateful for her own rationality.
Qiang Huan treated Ji Xiao's injuries without saying a word; her thoughts were the same as Feng Zhi's.
"Why!"
Ji Xiao roared like a wild beast: "I clearly did nothing wrong!"
"Are you still a child? Ask her yourself what she really wants to do!"
Feng Jiutian kicked the heavily injured woman under his foot, increasing the force of his kick: "Speak!"
"Spare me! Please, young lady, spare my life!"
The woman frantically tried to break free from Feng Jiutian's feet, but was stomped down again and coughed up blood.
"We're just pretending to be weak in Guili Forest. There are often newcomers at the forest entrance who will rescue the weak, and we can steal some supplies from them when they're not paying attention!"
As Feng Jiutian increased his strength, the woman hurriedly spoke.
Ji Xiao's pupils shrank, and he looked at the woman in disbelief, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"How long has it been!" Feng Jiutian asked again in a cold voice.
Fearing for her life, the woman quickly pleaded, "It's only been three years, please spare me, young lady!"
The giant man's corpse beside her had already intimidated her enough; the woman was now in extreme fear, her body still trembling slightly.
Feng Jiutian's sharp eyes swept over Ji Xiao: "Did you understand?"
Ji Xiao remained silent, head bowed, motionless.
Feng Jiutian swiftly drew his dagger and killed the woman, blood splattering all over the ground. Ji Xiao was too stunned to stop Feng Jiutian's actions.
"But why kill her?" Ji Xiao's voice was a little hoarse, as if she still couldn't accept the cruelty of this world.
Ruohan stepped forward and lifted the somewhat dejected Ji Xiao up. She pointed at the man and then at the woman: "Open your eyes wide and see clearly, Ji Xiao. Just how many lives do they have on their hands!"
"For three whole years, at least fifty to one hundred people have died at their hands!"
Ruohan, exasperated, shoved Ji Xiao: "If you continue to question Jiutian like this, then you don't deserve to stay in this mercenary group."
Feng Zhi and Qiang Huan remained silent, tacitly acknowledging what Ruo Han had said.
"Ji Xiao, I'm only saying all this because you've already joined the mercenary group."
Feng Jiutian said coldly, "If you were an irrelevant person, you would be lying here with these two corpses. My team doesn't need a teammate who drags us down! Nor does it need a teammate with excessive maternal instincts!"
Feng Jiutian gazed into the distance, recalling her days as a mercenary assassin in the modern world. Back then, she worked alone, occasionally taking on a team mission. Unexpectedly, one of the women in the team let a pitiful beggar go!
Those in their line of work are never allowed to reveal their true identities. Once a beggar reveals their whereabouts, they will be tracked down by the National Administration.
Sure enough, the beggar, driven by greed and fame, drew a picture of the woman from the mercenary group.
That incident was a disaster for their mercenary assassin group; a third of the entire organization was lost, all because of one person's excessive kindness!
From that moment on, Feng Jiutian vowed that her team did not need kind people, but rather people who could be ruthless!
Whether you call her heartless or cold-blooded, she is still a human being. All she knows is that she doesn't want to experience the pain of losing her teammates again.
"Ji Xiao, I hope you remember this well: the world is never as simple as it seems. And this is just the beginning. If you can't accept it, then quit now."
Feng Jiutian uttered these words, then took the map and headed in another direction.
