Chapter 17

“F*ck!” Fatty Qiu shouted and pushed the shield to Yu Guang, intending to crush him into a meat patty.

The rapidly enlarged shield was right in front of him. Yu Guang lightly stepped on the ground, and a few ice needles pierced the shield. It was as painless as a cow’s hair. After a couple of ringing sounds, it turned into water and was stepped on by Fatty Qiu.

The thick and heavy shield’s defense points were full. Despite Fatty Qiu’s physique, he was not slow in carrying such a heavy thing!

More importantly, Yu Guang felt that Fatty Qiu was not just simply using the shield to rampage around. The air between the two seemed to have become solid, and his body was squeezed by the wind barrier formed by the shield.

Yu Guang felt as if he was standing at the bottom of a hydraulic press. His chest felt stuffy, and his four limbs felt as heavy as lead. Even raising his hand became a difficult task.

“Go to hell! Hahaha!” Fatty Qiu laughed loudly. His barbaric voice was like the roar of an orangutan or a beast, startling the birds in the forest and causing their wings to flap and fly around.

Rumble.

The waist-thick tree was broken in half by the impact, falling to the ground.

“Eh?” Fatty Qiu felt that his hand felt hard. It did not feel as hard as when he hit a human limb, nor did it sound like having his bones broken.

He poked his head out from behind the shield. In front of him were the uneven sections of the broken trees and the unique fragrance of wood. That arrogant kid had long disappeared.

Fatty Qiu looked around vigilantly and spat disdainfully. “Little fool, where did you hide?”

“Hu…” Behind a tree five steps away, Yu Guang let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he dodged quickly, or else there wouldn’t be any intact bones left on his body.

He looked around and found that Old Fan had disappeared quietly.

“You guys really ate up the whole world with one move!” Yu Guang curled the corner of his mouth and turned his head around, just in time to meet Old Fan’s sinister eyes.

Old Fan sneaked and hid behind him while he was dealing with Fatty Qiu. Yu Guang saw the faint cold tip of the knife in Old Fan’s hand, which suddenly enlarged in his pupils!

“Ah!”

A scream tore through the silence of the forest, and the sharp tone changed.

“Hahaha! I found him!” Fatty Qiu smugly patted his belly and ran toward the scream. Before he got close, he smelled the stench of blood.

“Old Fan, you…”

Before Fatty Qiu finished his words, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t move! The coldness jumped from the soles of his feet to the back of his spine. Fatty Qiu saw that he was frozen, from the bottom to the top, like frozen pork.

Opposite him, Old Fan was frozen into an ice sculpture with an icicle sticking out of his thigh. However, due to the rapid freezing speed, the spurting blood was also frozen on his thigh. It could be said to be the world’s smallest ice sculpture of an artificial fountain.

The two frozen people could only move their eyes up and down. They were shaking rapidly in panic.

Yu Guang squatted between them and moved out of the encirclement. He stood up and patted the dust off his pants.

He took out his phone and shone its light on their faces. Only then did he see their faces clearly. Old Fan’s face was thin, and his cheeks were sunken. The light stimulated his bloodshot eyes, and he kept blinking.

Fatty Qiu was as fat as Buddha. The fatty rolls on his face covered his chin, and the veins on his temples were frozen solid by the ice.

Yu Guang lowered his head and saw the wound on Old Fan’s leg— the icicle pierced through a thumb-sized hole. “I’m sorry. I was a little nervous just now, but it’s not all my fault. It’s your fault for not listening to me properly. But you don’t have to worry. With your wound frozen, you won’t die from blood loss.”

Old Fan blinked his eyes angrily, as if he was saying, ‘Thank you!’

“Why aren’t you guys talking?” Yu Guang frowned slightly. It was his first time freezing people, so he didn’t know the process clearly. He also didn’t know what would happen to them. It would be a big sin if they were frozen to death.

“Wuwuwu! Wuwuwu!” Fatty Qiu’s eyes were wide open. He tried hard to make a sound, trying to tell Yu Guang that his mouth was frozen.

“Ding Ding Ding!”

The familiar ringtone rang again.

Yu Guang didn’t notice the two’s protest. He turned around and looked at the caller ID. The same unfamiliar phone number had called three times, so it was most likely an urgent matter.

He hesitated for a moment and picked up the phone. “Hello, this is Yu Guang.”

“Yu Guang! You finally picked up the phone. It’s me, Cui Anyu!” Although the voice on the other end was very flat, there was a sense of relief in it.

“What’s the matter?”

“Well, I have something to ask of you…” Cui Anyu said anxiously. “Tomorrow afternoon, the night watchmen will have a two-person team combat test. I need a partner. Can you come and help me?”

She finished the matter in one breath, waiting anxiously for Yu Guang’s answer.

“Mhm… Night watchmen?” Yu Guang dragged out his voice as he thought about it. What a coincidence, another matter related to the night watchmen.

He felt that it was fine to help Cui Anyu. He had nothing to do anyway, and the system needed beastmasters and subdued beasts to work together to unlock the new effect.

“Alright. Where and what time?” Yu Guang said straightforwardly.

“I’ll wait for you at the campus gate at three in the afternoon.” Cui Anyu didn’t have a smile on her face, but her voice was full of joy.

“Okay, I won’t leave until I see you.”

After the call was over, Yu Guang hung up the phone.

Behind him, Fatty Qiu and Old Fan were already scared out of their wits. They thought to themselves that this kid really had something to do with the night watchmen. Everything will be over this time!

“Wuuuhhhhh!” The two of them made some muffled noises, hoping to attract Yu Guang’s attention.

Yu Guang heard the sobs behind him. He turned around and saw that their faces were flushed red. If it weren’t for the ice covering their faces, their eyeballs might have popped out.

“Sorry, sorry. I forgot you guys can’t talk.” He scratched his head in embarrassment. With a swipe of his forefinger, the ice on their mouths gradually melted into an oval-shaped hole.

Yu Guang smiled. “Now, where was I?”

He was asking sincerely. After being interrupted by Cui Anyu’s phone call, he needed a hint.

However, to Fatty Qiu and Old Fan, this was a rhetorical question. The person in front of them really didn’t want to know and was giving them a chance to confess.

“My lord! We were wrong! We were wrong! We failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended you. Please forgive us!”

“We really deserve to die for offending you. Please forgive us, my lord! We won’t dare do it again!”

“My lord night watchman! Please forgive us!”

The two of them cried and fought for their lives. If their bodies were not trapped by the ice, they could have even performed a kowtow symphony for Yu Guang.

Yu Guang sighed speechlessly. He could not be bothered to explain the night watchmen’s matter again. Instead, he asked, “I heard you guys talking about digging up treasures. What treasures are here?”

The two looked at each other, wondering if they should play some tricks. Then, they glanced sideways at Yu Guang’s harmless smile. The ice all over their bodies warned them of Yu Guang’s terrifying strength, so no matter how cordial his smile was, it would only take him a few seconds to kill them.

Old Fan gulped and said, “I have a map. If you’re interested, take a look at it.”
