Chapter 18: My Brothers

Moreover, many people came. They took the materials and started working.

Such an upgrade was not magical at all. It did not conform to the rules of the game.

Dagger watched as Xiu’er busied herself with helping out. She was like a happy little butterfly. After giving her some instructions, he went offline.

When he opened his eyes, it was morning.

After a simple breakfast, he said goodbye to his fellow villagers and set off.

There was almost no road behind them. Tai-shu Trench had too few villagers, and the traces left behind had long been worn away. Instead, the footprints of some small beasts gradually appeared.

It was said that Tai-shu Trench was formed early on by fugitives.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he carefully identified the direction and recalled a few special coordinates in his memory. There were mountains, big trees with carvings, and strange-shaped rocks.

Fortunately, although he had been away for a few years, he was not lost. It was still long before dark, but he saw a familiar field.

He had returned on his own.

It seemed to have only taken half a day?

It was not that the place was getting closer, but that he had become stronger.

“I’m back,” Dagger shouted. Suddenly, a dog barked in the distance.

Soon, a big dog appeared in his field of vision and ran over crazily.

“Haha! Ah Shan is the best. He still remembers me as his master.” Dagger hugged the dog and laughed.

Ah Shan jumped around happily.

For this pure mountain hound cub, he had paid a lot for it back then. Unfortunately, he could not bring it away from here.

This kind of dog that was used to being wild in the mountains was definitely unable to adapt to life in the city.

It was unavoidable for it to hurt people. This was the dignity of Ah Shan the mountain hound.

If it adapted, it wouldn’t be it anymore.

“It’s Dagger! You’re back. It’s been a few years. Haven’t you been mesmerized by the colorful world in the city?” The uncle in the field laughed loudly.

“You’re back! Home is still the best.” Dagger laughed.

“You came back alone. Why aren’t you paying attention to your safety? What if you get taken away by a leopard?” The uncle lectured with a straight face.

Dagger could only accept it.

“I knew it. Ah Shan ran so happily. Dag must have returned.” A happy voice sounded.

“Dag! You still know how to come back? You’ve forgotten about your brothers. You have been gone for several years.” The two young men walked out excitedly and hugged each other fiercely. They were brothers who grew up together in the village.

“How rude of you? Call me Dagger,” Dagger said unhappily.

“Haha! Sure I can call you Dagger too. According to the rules of our mountain, you just have to defeat me.” The burly man laughed and assumed a muscular posture.

It was all because of the television programs from outside.

“Alright, looks like you’re itching for a beating. Let’s practice.” Dagger chuckled.

“Dag! You’re good at making money and you’re smart. You are still lacking in this area.” Bang’zi showed off even more. He took off his shirt and showed off his strong muscles.

In comparison, not to mention Bang’zi, even the slightly shorter Shan Cao beside him was much stronger than the thin Dagger.

It couldn’t be helped. When Dagger was in his mother’s womb, his mother was injured and that affected her baby.Since then, he had always been weak. The Tai-shu Trench Earthen Style that was passed down had trained all the other children into good lads. Only Dagger couldn’t do it.

“Are you ready?” Dagger said proudly.

“I’m not good at using my brain. You’re not good at physical strength. I’ll only use one hand to give you an advantage.” Bang’zi proudly put one hand behind his back and posed.

Although it looked simple and rustic, it was actually impossible to reach this level without more than ten years of hard work. Those who were capable could tell at a glance.

“You deserve a beating.” Dagger flew forward.

“F*ck!” As soon as an expert made a move, it was obvious. In an instant, Bang’zi’s expression changed. This speed was unbelievable.

Unfortunately, it was too late to react. He reached out to block, but without exception, he missed.

With a kick, Bang’zi fell to the ground.

How satisfying. This heartless thing. I’ll let you know why the flowers are so red.

“Ah!” He let out a howl, but Bang’zi still gritted his teeth and got up.

Because to be defeated by this sickly Dag, he would definitely become the laughing stock of the Tai-shu Trench. He would become everyone’s laughing stock for the rest of his life. For the next three or four generations, they would tell it as an after meal funny story.

As soon as he got up, Bang’zi was kicked over again.

Tai-shu Trench’s Earthen Style was not simple. Unfortunately, in the world of martial arts, speed was the only thing that could not be broken. Moreover,Dagger was extremely familiar with the strokes of the Earthen Styles.

He had a thousand countermeasures, but it was all useless if he could not use them in time.

Dagger was so fast that he had no time to dodge or react. Moreover, his strength was shockingly strong, and his hits were extremely heavy.

Shan Cao was dumbfounded.

“Old Chinese doctor, it must be the old Chinese doctor outside the mountain who cured Dagger!” This person was obviously reading a novel.

The fourth time he fell, he really couldn’t get up. The footprints on his body were bruised and swollen. It would take him at least ten days to half a month to recover.

And that was with the help of local medicine.

“Awesome, damn it!” Dagger let out a long sigh.

How refreshing.

“Dagger, you’ve changed. You didn’t fight in the past,” Shan Cao said naively.

“Nonsense!” Dagger muttered in his heart. In the past, he was no match even for those much younger than him. Was he be stupid enough to fight?

“In the past, you were still young, so I gave in to you. Now that I’m back, I feel that you’ve grown up. You also need to know how cruel this world is,” Dagger said proudly.

This made Shan Cao speechless. He clearly felt that something was wrong, but yet it seemed to make sense.

Soon, the other young people of Tai-shu Trench came. There were three of them.

There were not many villagers here now. Most of them had moved outside, and this was all thanks to Dagger.

There were even fewer young people.

However, it had been much safer over the years. Coupled with all kinds of high-tech technology, otherwise it would be very difficult for these people to survive.

“Dag is back! We missed you so much.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Without Dag, our lives are much harder.” Everyone shouted.

“Call him Dagger,” Bang’zi grunted.

“Who hit him?” The others finally realized what was going on, and their expressions changed. Bang’zi was the best fighter among them.

If it was in the past, according to the customs of the village, he would definitely be the king of the young people and the boss.

It was a pity that there was Dag, the strange genius, who had brought all the young men out to make a fortune. It was just a pity that he could not fight.

This resulted in King of the Youngsters in this generation.

The next generation? There was no such tradition anymore. The children who entered the city were different.

“Come at me together.”

Dagger said proudly.

Soon, they all fell to the ground and wailed in disbelief.

Remember to call me Dagger in the future.

“Dag, aiya! It hurts!”

They were still not used to it as it was too sudden.

But soon, Dagger taught them to get used to it.

Using the simplest method in the mountains.

Then, everyone sat together and drank wine and meat.

These remaining five were the little tyrants of the Tai-shu Trench. They were the best at fighting and used to be the elites of the village.

Now that they were all single, as there were no young ladies who were willing to be married here.
