A single shot of salt pellets instantly killed this group of people from Wushuang City, unexpectedly easy. Tang Lin had thought he might miss or the effect would be poor. He still had anti-wolf spray in his backpack, but he didn't know what it was made of. A little accidentally got on his hand earlier, and the smell lingered for three days.
Doing something that harms others while also harming oneself wasn't something Tang Lin was keen on.
Besides, using a gun was cool!
Load, aim, pull the trigger, bang, and instantly it's all over, an explosive thrill!
He blew at the non-existent gunsmoke, relieved that everything brought from a higher plane to the Different World was indeed a weapon of mass destruction. Who knew, maybe even a lighter could barbecue the Fire Qilin.
"Oro, tidy up," Tang Lin instructed.
"Tidy up? You want me to finish off any who aren't dead?" Oro, sitting on a panda, asked in confusion.
…
Oro, you've changed. That demure feeling from earlier was indeed fake.
Tang Lin had Oro perform some emergency measures on those who weren't dead; whether they lived or died depended on their own luck.
If the people from Wushuang City had a luck reservoir of eight dippers, Shi Wuzun alone would occupy one stone, and the rest would owe two dippers collectively. By the time Shi Wuzun woke up, the bodies of the others had already gone cold.
The sky had already grown dark, the weather was not good today, and even the stars couldn't be seen. Yet Shi Wuzun could still see everything around him clearly because not far from him shone a light like a bright moon.
It was a light sphere that seemed larger than the City Lord Mansion of Wushuang City, emitting soft moonlight.
Shi Wuzun was shocked as he gazed at this moonlight and the Giant crouching beside it, feeling as insignificant as a mote of dust.
"This Giant can actually pluck the moon from the sky?!"
If Tang Lin knew what Shi Wuzun was thinking, he would certainly boast, "This spherical camping lamp was definitely a good buy."
This camping lamp cost Tang Lin over six hundred, could reach a maximum brightness of 300 lumens, and could illuminate a range of fifteen meters. It was waterproof and dustproof, with a maximum brightness battery life of 15 hours; at the lowest brightness, it could last up to 600 hours, with a switchable light of red, yellow, and white.
Oro noticed Shi Wuzun waking up and gathered a large amount of lightning in her hands. Shi Wuzun thought this Kunlun slave woman wanted to fight him and tried to muster True Qi to perform the Tathagata Divine Palm. However, this woman did nothing but produce a sound of crackling.
And the Giant, who had been facing away from Shi Wuzun, turned around at the noise, still holding that strange weapon. Shi Wuzun remembered clearly that this weapon spat out large blocks of hail like crystals, causing him to cough up blood.
"You're finally awake."
Tang Lin instinctively rubbed his knee, though the bruise had already been healed by the Child of the Earth skill, it still felt a bit uncomfortable. The salt gun continued to aim at Shi Wuzun. If he tried anything, Tang Lin would shoot him off to the afterlife.
Shi Wuzun didn't make a move. If he were in peak condition and prepared, he might have taken a chance. But now injured, he could barely use Qinggong, and one more hit would be fatal.
Shi Wuzun clasped his hands together and exclaimed, "Amitabha! To die by the hands of a Divine who plucks stars and the moon, I accept."
Fortunately, Tang Lin turned on his translator this time, or he wouldn't have understood such complex Cantonese.
Communicating with a person earned just 1 point of Wish Power per hour. Tang Lin considered that he might give it a try. The translation effect was quite good, with Shi Wuzun's words converting directly into standard Mandarin, without any local accents.
As for his speech, it would probably turn into quite authentic Cantonese, ensuring Shi Wuzun understood perfectly. Unfortunately, this amazing function only worked one-on-one, the system being rather stingy.
"Accept my foot. If you hadn't attacked first, would I need to retaliate? This was self-defense!" Tang Lin said to Shi Wuzun.
Shi Wuzun looked astonished, understanding that if he hadn't attacked, the Giant wouldn't have retaliated.
However, seeing a Demon Tiger and then a sky-high Giant, how could anyone remain calm?
"Your Excellency, what exactly are you... human?" Shi Wuzun asked awkwardly.
He originally wanted to ask what thing you are, but phrasing it that way might earn him another round with that strange weapon, leading to an untimely demise.
"I'm just passing through..." Tang Lin thought for a moment, then asked Shi Wuzun, "Have you heard of Kua Fu?"
"Kua Fu who chased the sun?"
Luckily, Shi Wuzun didn't say Kua Fu who drinks just one sip, or Tang Lin would have been unable to resist pulling the trigger.
"That's right, I'm a descendant of Kua Fu, pay up... No, anyway, I'm an ancient Giant. Under normal circumstances, I won't interfere in your mortal affairs, just don't provoke me."
Tang Lin figured it was time to establish a persona. After all, he'd be traveling through different worlds frequently. The idea of being a descendant of Kua Fu matched his Giant identity well.
"Under normal circumstances? Do you have any purpose in coming to Wushuang City?" Shi Wuzun continued to ask.
He originally didn't want to explain too much to Shi Wuzun, but Tang Lin thought having another ally to fight Xiong Ba wouldn't hurt, so he said to Shi Wuzun, "Xiong Ba acts against nature and has committed deeds that offend Heaven. I emerged to kill Xiong Ba."
"Xiong Ba?!"
Shi Wuzun was shocked. Although Xiong Ba's recent reputation was strong, Shi Wuzun considered him only a rival of Wushuang City. What on earth could he have done to provoke a Divine being to act against him? Using live people for training, or a massacre of ten thousand people?
Tang Lin's words made his impression of Xiong Ba elevate from a Martial Arts Hero to a colossal figure on the Demon Path.
Shi Wuzun had already believed Tang Lin's identity, the enormous physique was proof enough. If anyone said Tang Lin wasn't a descendant of Kua Fu, Shi Wuzun would spray in their face. What could a mythic Giant eat to grow this big otherwise?
"If you're willing to help take down Xiong Ba, I will offer rewards in return." Tang Lin opened his palm, and a gray-white stream of air wrapped around a blood-red fruit, descending in front of Shi Wuzun.
Having over a hundred Blood Bodhis, Tang Lin figured offering one to recruit Shi Wuzun wouldn't be much of an issue.
Seeing this sight, Shi Wuzun was further convinced of Tang Lin's identity; this wasn't Martial Arts, it was an Immortal Technique.
"Is this a Blood Bodhi?" Shi Wuzun asked, gazing at the red fruit.
"Correct, it's a Blood Bodhi. If you help me against Xiong Ba, this will be your reward," Tang Lin said to Shi Wuzun.
Shi Wuzun roughly understood how Nie Renwang got his Blood Bodhi. He must have met this descendant of Kua Fu early on and joined the crusade against Xiong Ba.
As for the Giant having so many Blood Bodhis, the Fire Qilin in Lingyun Cave was likely slain by the Giant. He had heard this news just after leaving Wushuang City, a happy surprise, though it was a pity for the accompanying Samurai from Wushuang City.
But it didn't matter, what goes around comes around, and before Shi Wuzun became a monk, he also wielded two machetes to make a living. He'd chant the Rebirth Mantra for these Samurai later.
As for collaborating against Xiong Ba, Shi Wuzun said to Tang Lin, "This matter is of great importance. I will report to the City Lord of Wushuang City before responding to Your Excellency."
With that, Shi Wuzun left, dragging his injured body away.
Tang Lin didn't stop him, Shi Wuzun was just an added insurance policy in killing Xiong Ba, a fortuitous bonus. Whether successful or not held little consequence. Tang Lin wasn't afraid of him bringing people back for revenge; with the salt gun in hand, the world was his. Plus, if Tang Lin needed to flee, no one in this world could catch him.
Letting Shi Wuzun go, Tang Lin then faced an important problem—how to sleep tonight?
His first time camping in the wilderness, Tang Lin felt a bit nervous.
Laying the sleeping bag within the dug trench, he crawled inside without changing his clothes. As he was about to sleep, he saw Oro's solitary silhouette in the cold night and said to her, "Do you want to come in too? I promise not to lay a finger on you."
