“What kind of strange fish are these?!” Someone cursed.

What attacked them wasn’t some big, giant monster, but palm-sized fish with razor sharp teeth.
Their attacks were strong when combined with their ability to absorb qi and magic.

“Get ashore! Everyone! Hurry up!”

People were swimming ashore like their butts were on fire.
There were several unlucky few who were too slow and had already become fish food without so much as bones left over.
Too brutal!

Zo gasped for breath.
His face was pale and there was a sharp pain in his leg.

He had three silver fish latched onto his thigh.
They refused to let go and their bites were incredibly painful.

Like Zo, several other people also came ashore with fish attached.
They had nearly ended up dinner for the fish because their protective shields had been worthless, as easily absorbed as they were by the fish's ability to absorb qi and magic.

“Ah!” It was so painful.
They’d bitten into his flesh, but the pain was akin to them biting into his bones.

“Let go!” Feng Wu had been lucky.
She made it to shore before the qi for her shield was absorbed by the fish.
She immediately walked over to help Zo when she saw him get ashore.

The fish refused to let go.
Someone tried to use fire magic to burn them away but it didn’t work.
Attacks using magic and qi had no effect.
These fish were as difficult as the two corpses that had chased them earlier.

Feng Wu took out Xiao Chun when her qi didn’t work.
The moment Xiao Chun appeared, all the little fish opened their mouths and speedily released their victims before hastily jumping back into the water.
They sank to the foamy bottom and disappeared from sight.
Not a single one stayed behind.

Crowd: That was an escape!

Seriously! The sword was a magic sword though.
Why were the fish so afraid of it?

People already knew Feng Wu’s sword was extraordinary.
When they were fighting against the two corpses, her sword was the only one that did any damage.
Their own attacks had had no damage whatsoever.

Many coveted Feng Wu’s sword; some even had ideas of killing and stealing.

The continent had never been one where people worked and lived in peace and contentment; the strong survived and the weak were eliminated.

A powerful weapon in the hands of someone not strong enough to hold onto it, well that was just temptation in the making.

“Little girl, your sword is quite powerful.
Could it be a holy sword?” A middle-aged man, relying on his age, approached Feng Wu amiably to ask about Xiao Chun.

“No.” Feng Wu easily replied.
Xiao Chun had said he was a heavenly sword.

No? What? Who do you think you’re lying to? Sure enough, when I was young, I too thought I could deceive people.
The middle-aged man thought disdainfully.

“Well since it’s not a holy sword, then little girl, why don’t you sell the sword to me? The price is up to you.” He had a look like money wouldn’t be an issue.

Zo was livid faced as he looked at the scene.
This man was shameless!

“No.” Feng Wu shook her head.

“Why don’t I exchange it for this sword instead then?” He pointed to a long sword chock full of magical beast ores and stones.

“No.” Xiao Chun was a friend.
She would not exchange him.

For Feng Wu, Xiao Chun wasn’t just a sword, he was also her friend.
And like Master, he was from the other world, so his existence was extra special.
What could she do? Replace Xiao Chun with a stranger?

“This sword is worth ten million gold pieces.
Are you sure you don’t want to think about it?” The man grew annoyed at Feng Wu’s silence.
Tens of millions of gold coins for your one small lousy sword and you still don’t want it.
You’re too shameless little girl!

“No.” Feng Wu shook her head firmly.

Zo was relieved Feng Wu didn’t do the trade.
He was afraid she didn’t know and would be deceived by the man.

“That guy is shameless! Trying to exchange a regular magic sword for a holy sword!”

“How shameless! With that attitude, you might as well just steal it.”

“Yeah, just too embarrassing!”

The swordsmen on the other side discussing amongst themselves were ashamed of the man trying to do the trade.

The man sighed, but he didn’t say anything more.
He stepped aside and didn’t try to bamboozle the sword from her.

No one was fooled by his retreat though; it was clear he hadn’t given up.
If an opportunity arose, he would definitely go after the sword, and it would probably be with violence.
He wouldn’t approach her and talk to her again.

After the show, the injured sat down to heal and clean their wounds.
As long as there were healing potions to be had, the flesh would heal easily.
Even Zo, who had the worst physique, was healed after drinking a healing potion from his space ring.
The only thing left behind was a pink scar.

Those uninjured looked around their surroundings and found they were inside a huge, underground cavern.
Of course the humungous cavern wasn’t dug by the prisoners turned laborers.
No, they had discovered the cave and dug a tunnel to it.

It really was an incredibly big space.
The cold pool they fell into was surrounded by cold air, and close to that pool was a clear, transparent flowing stream with a bed filled with large gravel stones.
The stream led into a deep, dark passage.

“Let’s go.
Hopefully we can get out of here.”

They continued after their wounds healed, and as usual, Feng Wu followed behind with Zo.

The sound of flowing water was crystal clear in the cave.
The humidity was also very high, so people felt cold and clammy.
Even with qi and magic, they were still uncomfortable.

They quickly reached the stream and stood facing the dark tunnel.

“It’s so dark!”

“Let’s go.”

“Everyone, follow closely.
Don’t know if there are any dangers lurking.”
