Chapter 364: Chapter 364 It’s Not Him

“Why is it a mute?” In the barrack, a man with a brown mask complained, “no one can be fucking trusted these days!”

There were several darker yellow masked men that had come to choose new masked men for their teams. However, after observing the performance of 10 new masked men, not a single person wanted Chu Yunsheng.

But it was not because he was a mute that no one selected him. It was actually that when Chu Yunsheng lifted up the shield, he couldn’t trigger the shield’s earth elemental protection ability, and when he held the spear, he also could not trigger the spear’s earth elemental attack abilities.

He had accidentally absorbed all the energy from both the spear and the shield.

No one wanted a powerless stranger as their subordinate. The rest of the 10 people were quickly selected by other people leaving Chu Yunsheng standing alone in the field.

“Old Sun, the mute belongs to your team now!” the brown masked men thought for a second and said.

The light yellow masked man walked with a pronounced limp. Chu Yunsheng didn’t know whether he was born with it or he was injured during the battle, but what he did know was that the man’s face was twisted behind the mask.

The wonderful thing about the mask was that it was neither opaque or completely fixed. it would change with the user’s emotions. Anyone with a pair of good eyes could even see through the mask.

The brown masked man waved his hand and said, “your team is just responsible for security patrol, so just take him. It has been decided. I won’t change my mind.”

Seeing there was no hope to get his supervisor to change his decision, the man thought for a second and said, “Supervisor, since our team has one more person now, could you give us more supply this time? We also haven’t changed our spears and shields for quite some time…”

The brown masked man immediately shook his head and said, “nope, don’t ask me for those things, you will need to find the logistics. Besides, your team doesn’t even need to go to the battlefield, why do you need them anyway?”

Then, he didn’t even wait for the reply, just quickly left the place. Because he began to notice that other masked men were also looking at him.

‘Are they short of energy supplies?’ Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but wonder.

It seemed like the situation in the forest that was controlled by the western force was not that good at the moment.

“Sigh… Mute you didn’t come to this place at the right time. You didn’t get to the glorious time we had… sigh… let’s go…” Old Sun sighed.

…

With the advantages of his occupation, Chu Yunsheng tried to find a way to leave this forest. He even made a map of the “city” behind the wall of trees.

Every day his duty was very simple. He would need to take turns to patrol the forest city with Old Sun and other 15 colleagues.

To put it bluntly, his job was just like a community police officer during the age of light. But at least, he was considered a formal official of the western force and he had a stable food ration, a place to live and at the end of the month, he would also receive some money that was made by special soil as well. Although, due to the inflation, those soil money wasn’t worth that much anymore.

But no matter how the situation in both the legal market or illegal market changed, the price of food never changed.

However, the collapse of the monetary system was not caused by the higher-ups of the western force massively producing soil money. It was actually caused by a large number of counterfeit money flowing into the western force from the eastern force.

It was said that the soil money, which only the rulers of the forest had the ability to make, was the main cause of the conflict between the two rulers of the forest.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t trust those temporary economic systems. As earlier as when he was in Jin Ling city, he had already seen a system like this. It also didn’t work out back then.

Being a mute was not all just bad. Without the ability to talk, he was able to quickly fit into Old Sun’s group. Although Old Sun’s group’s main duty was to patrol the city, they were also doing something shady the dark.

….

In a remote dark corner in the forest city, Old Sun counted his group members once again and lowered his voice, “like what we did before, split into three shares! Those fuckers got a lot of good stuff from outside. Don’t let them fool us. If they don’t agree, let’s confiscate everything!”

“Boss, I have heard that they are protected by some fire energy people. So I don’t think they are easy targets.” a skinny man who was wearing the same colored mask as Chu Yunsheng said concernedly.

“If it weren’t for the fire energy people, I’ll fucking take 70 percent! This is our 9th unit’s territory. Those fuckers didn’t even inform us before they conducted their business here. They fucking ignored us. If we don’t do anything, we will be looked down by other units.” The man was constantly cursing.

“Okay, boss, let’s do it. Mute, you are with us to guard the back door.” The skinny masked man gritted his teeth and pointed at Chu Yunsheng and said.

Chu Yunsheng was speechless. Since the dark age began, he had worked with all kinds of people and many types of departments. But he had never done the activities such as collecting protection fees from others before.

The sad thing was that he had to do it. With just his little supply, he wouldn’t be able to exchange more Earth Elemental Energy Blocks, which was the only thing that was able to stop three forces from fighting each other inside his body at the moment.

He still hasn’t figured out the way to get out of the forest city, so gathering this type of energy blocks became his only interests when staying here.

Chu Yunsheng took over half a self-made “cigarette” from the skinny masked man and leaned against the wall of the tree house. They had openly surrounded the tree house, so they were not worried to be “discovered” by the people upstairs of the tree house. Old Sun had already gone into the building with two other people, what Chu Yunsheng and the rest of the people needed to do was just to wait there for the results.

Chu Yunsheng hadn’t tasted a cigarette for a very long time, although his throat was still in pain, the temptation of cigarettes was much stronger.

He pinched the cigarette butt, squinted his eyes and took a deep drag on the cigarette and then blew out a long smoke while squatting in a corner. Through the smoke, he seemed to see his aunty, Dumb Insect…

Suddenly, a rapid whistle appeared from the upstairs of the tree house. It instantly startled Chu Yunsheng’s dream.

“Shit! Those fuckers!” the skinny masked man immediately threw away the cigarette butt and cursed. At the same time, he quickly kicked the back door of the tree house and broke in.

“Brothers, get your weapons! Mute, you follow me, everyone else stays here. Don’t let anyone go!”

Immediately, two people began to break in from the back door. There were even more people that got in from the front door truculently.

“Captain Sun, you need to think carefully about what you are doing here.” said coldly by a man who was wearing a pair of glasses. There were many stuffed bags scattering around him.

Old Sun spat on the ground and said, “this is the 9th unit’s territory, you need to follow our rules. Don’t you dare think that those fire energy people would scare me away? We, the masked man army, are never scared of them. Old Three, take your people to search the attic, we are going to confiscate it all! ”

The skinny masked man immediately rushed to the stairs, However, those underground merchants did not stop them. Their reactions instantly made Old Sun’s heart drop.

Chu Yunsheng was guarding the entrance of the stairs while holding the spear and shield. The skinny masked man already reached the end of the stairs at the moment. However, his body suddenly began to shake and then he began to move back in panic. The people that followed behind him also ran back quickly as if they saw a ghost.

“Old Three?” Old Sun was startled, but in the next second, he was also terrified.

From the attic, slowly walked down a person who was wearing golden armor, and a golden mask. Behind that person, three fire energy people closely followed.

Old Sun instantly lost his courage and stuttered, “it… it… is… a… mis… miss… misunderstanding… We… we… will… get… out… right now…”

The skinny masked also reacted quickly, he repeatedly bowed at them while quickly moved back.

However, the armored person ignored them, got down the stairs and walked towards the middle of the room. The underground merchants seemed to be very respectful to the golden armor person. They slowly moved back to stay behind the golden armor person.

“Originally I did not want to come down, but since your 9th unit is here, it will save me a lot of time. I have heard that the mute is in your team? Is he here?” it was a woman’s voice, and just right after she fished, all of Chu Yunsheng’s colleagues instantly turned around and looked at him

One of the three fire energy people walked out of their group and walked toward Chu Yunsheng to take a close look. Then he turned around and nodded at the golden armored woman.

Chu Yunsheng instinctively held the spear and took a quick glance at the stairs. He did not know why the golden armor woman was looking for him. But he had always been a cautious man.

“Woosh!”

Suddenly the golden armored woman charged out and grabbed the skinny masked man’s spear and lunged it at Chu Yunsheng.

“Bang!”

Chu Yunsheng was already prepared. He quickly lifted the shield to block her attack. At the same time, with the armored woman’s push, he hopped off the stairs and got down the stairs quickly.

The woman closely followed, and both of them quickly disappeared in everyone’s sight.

“Boss?” the skinny masked man whispered in confusion.

“Shut up, I got into big trouble this time. The information is wrong. Fuck… ” Old Sun’s face was twisted. Then all of them began to move down the stairs quickly.

Chu Yunsheng had already learned how to deal with accidents or this type of strange fight. Once he began to fight, he only thought of two options in his mind. It was either to defeat his enemy or escape as soon as possible.

If he had Yuan Qi energy, he would have been able to easily injure this woman. But now, the only thing he could use was the 9 diagrams of body movements that he learned in the divine realm. Plus his body strength, which was currently at the peak of Yuan Tian stage two.

Despite that, he was soon trapped by those fire energy people in the hall of the tree house.

The rest of the masked men didn’t join those people to trap Chu Yunsheng. But they also didn’t seem to want to help Chu Yunsheng either. They all stood aside watching what happened.

It didn’t take Chu Yunsheng very long to figure out that those fire energy people didn’t plan to attack him.

Every golden armored woman’s attacks were aimed at the vital parts of his body. It was not a tentative attack at all. He believed that if he had a slight mistake, he would be killed instantly.

The first option in Chu Yunsheng’s combat strategy had always been escaping. However, since he couldn’t run away, then he would do his best to eliminate as many of his threats as possible.

He immediately began to put all his focus on the diagrams of body movements to maximize his movement speed.

Although those fire energy people didn’t attack him, he decided to unleash all his spear attacks at the fire energy person who was guarding the entrance.

His speed was very fast, although he didn’t know any technique of using a spear, he was still able to stab the spear several times in a second.

“Puff…”

Three fire energy people immediately cast out their fire abilities to stop Chu Yunsheng.

The person that guarded the door touched the blood on his throat in shock. If he didn’t react in time, the spear would have pierced through his neck already.

Chu Yunsheng was knocked back by the fire energy attack. However, he didn’t stop moving. While he was in the air, he immediately spun his body and lunged his spear forward at the golden armored woman.

“Puff…”

“Bang!”

Then, everyone gasped in shock.

Chu Yunsheng’s shoulder was pierced through by a spear and the woman’s mask was knocked on the ground.

In the next second, the woman knitted her brows and shook her head, “It’s not him… Han Xiao, give him some compensation.”
