Chapter 47: Fixing Face
“Do you hear that?”
“Hear what?”
“The thief who alone has been rampaging our Westfall for many years, ‘Family Extermination’, has caused a huge trouble this time, and he is on the run . “
“Oh? That guy is a first class ruthless man . That year, he and the smuggling pellet chamber of commerce turned into enemies . The opposite party found an assassin to kill him . As a result, he was not killed, but he came back and killed the entire pellet chamber of commerce . . . This ruthless man who is on the run, whom exactly did he offend?”
“He has angered two enemies . One is not very formidable . One is extraordinarily formidable . Which one do you want to know first?”
“Let me the not-very-formidable first . “
“Black ax . “
” . . . Black ax? ! You said the criminal gang who worship the Highly Toxic Battle-Ax (an alias of the Thief God)? How can they are considered not very formidable? You’ve got to be kidding me!”
“Who joke with you! That “Family Extermination” brought 3,000 gold coins and 4 magic weapons as a deposit to hire 150 seasoned Black Axes to help him attack the Ruthless Hunter’s God Shrine . When the Black Axes finished their job and looked for him to take the rest of the money, they could not find anything . “
“Tsk! He sure lives up to his name of ‘Family Extermination’! What a big gut! He even dared to fool Black Ax! Then who is his other enemy? Don’t tell me it is the Highness . “
“You have guessed it right . It is another enemy of his . That is the Ruthless Hunter Highness .
” . . . Attacking the God Shrine is also not a rare thing in our Westfall . But dare to provoke the God behind the God Shrine? You are scaring me again!
“Who scare you! That fellow hired a person to kill the priest of the God Shrine and profaned the God’s statue . The Ruthless Hunter has issued the God’s edict, among the believers whoever can kill him will directly have a seat in the God Kingdom . Believer who can kill him will be rewarded one Legendary item!”
” . . . Is there still time for me to change my religion?”
“Take a bath and go to sleep . Even if you change your faith, can you find that ‘Family Extermination’?” Let’s take 10,000 thousand steps back, even if you’ve found him, who kill who is uncertain!”
” . . . Of course I don’t have enough ability to beat him . But if I do, I will crush him to death with my wooden stick!”
“Blabbermouth! If you really get the fighting spirit like this, go wipe the rusty hammer . Tomorrow, we go hunting that black giant, do you dare or not?”
“I do, of course! Even you are not afraid of death . Why should I!”
A similar conversation took place in the Wilderness Kingdom in the west . Almost every area adjacent to the Gobi Desert had a tavern . Those adventurers truly admired the “Family Extermination” whose news was unknown after causing a great calamity . There were many people who sought for death in this world, but those who could create such a disaster on this level were not many .

The number of hungry wolves which were polishing their eyes to find on the street was not small . But no matter how hard they tried to find him, they could not even find a trace of that lonesome thief here . They even had dug three feet into the ground till the aquifer, or climbed onto the high mountain to gaze at four directions, or caught any men wearing gowns with their faces covered and beat to take off the gowns .
It was not that they didn’t seek for help from a mighty caster, using magic to locate his location . But in the end, the result was still a bunch of primal chaos . Everything was as if covered by dense clouds .
Or did that dude really die?
Everyone just kept guessing like that . They didn’t dare to determine .
Perhaps that extremely daring and cunning fellow has died at some nook without anyone noticing . But even so, his corpse is not there?
“Ah!” A miserable shout resonated in the wild sky .
“How can a man grit teeth and cry vehemently like this!” Sui Xiong scolded some chicken-hearted man .
After saying, he swung the big wooden stick up then slammed down on Lei’s face .
Blood burst out . Tendon was broken off . Bones were fractured .
Lei couldn’t stand but miserably shriek . However, Sui Xiong didn’t move but smashed the therapy magic stick down again, recovered Lei’s vitality and continued hitting .
He kept hitting like this . After a number of times, the entire flesh and bones of Lei’s face was completely adjusted . Right now, even his family and his friends (if any) were in front of him, they absolutely would not recognize him .
“See, I have fixed many points on your face!” After Lei sighed, Sui Xiong brought over a condensed ice mirror, showing his current face, “Right now you can feel assured walking on the street . No one will recognize you . “
“Highness Hollow Mask, your face-fixing skill is the best in the world . Later on, if I meet some good brothers, I will definitely ask for your help to fix their faces!” Lei gnashed his teeth, “I believe he will definitely be moved to tears by you . . . “
“No need to appreciate me . To be honest, I don’t like you, an evil with hands full of blood . I also don’t want your long-time brothers to waste time saying hi to you on the street . Therefore, I’ve fixed your face to avoid unnecessary troubles along the way . ” After saying, Sui Xiong changed into a small Jellyfish and fell onto Lei’s head, which looked like a hat, “Let’s go . Our journey is still very long . “
Lei reluctantly sighed, pushed this creepy and dangerous thing that made people’s hair stand up, and started to pass over mountains ridges, heading South .
After going for a distance, Sui Xiong couldn’t stand asking, “I said . . . I’ve beaten you up so many times like this but you still don’t have any feeling of suddenly breaking out of a bottleneck for a very long time and miraculously succeeding?”
“No . “
“So, a little bit of complete enlightened feeling, the return of a prodigal son; something like yesterday’s death is today’s birth, or before I didn’t have a choice, but now I want to be a good guy . . . Or other kinds of thoughts like that?”

“No . “
” . . . Indeed a rotten wood!”
After going for a distance, Sui Xiong couldn’t stand asking again, “Lei, I have a very powerful trick that can help others renounce evil and turn to virtue, help them turn over a new leaf . Even though I can’t help them go to Heaven, at least, they can get a chance to atone for their crimes, hence, avoid going to hell . Are you interested?”
“Right now, I am very well off . I don’t have any intention to change my mind . “
“If you die now, you will absolutely go to hell!”
“Going to hell means someone is guilty and deserves to be punished . If a bad egg like me doesn’t need to go to hell, then this world indeed has a problem!”
Sui Xiong was surprised . He couldn’t help but click his tongue and exclaim, “I haven’t recognized this! Turns out you are also an angry youngster! Do you also feel there is something wrong with this world? I feel like that too and it seems like we really have a common voice!”
” . . . Sorry, I don’t want to have a common voice with a jellyfish!”
“Hey, but I am a God! How can you not have a common voice with a God?”
“Oh, let me correct . I don’t want to have a common voice with a God in a jellyfish shape that is disguising himself as a hat on my head . ” Lei indifferently answered, “Please look for your believers to discuss about this subject . They will definitely support you unconditionally . “
” . . . Lei, have people ever told you that you are very plain?”
“Yes, a lot . “
“Then add me too!”
They continued their journey . Right now, they had left the Gobi Desert and Westfall and now entered the Ash Rock mountain range .
The Ash rock mountain range was known for its abundant production of ash ore rock . This so-called ash ore rock in Sui Xiong’s eyes was similar to some kinds of limestone . Its disposition was not hard and was easy to exploit . Moreover, after burning, it would turn into a fine powder, which could congeal again with water and mud . Although being congealed, it was not as hard as the lava rock, but it was not less than a brick . Considering the cost of production and transporting, it was suitable to be a building material .
Due to this reason, the Ash Rock mountain range had many quarries . The Gold Coin Federation on the west, the Wilderness Kingdom on the east, and also the Hero Eagle Kingdom on the south all used a lot of ash rock mud to build roads and houses . This mountain range at least gave people a feeling that they were enjoying a particular painting .
It was very dangerous inside this Ash Rock mountain range . This place was haunted by many dangerous kinds of devil beasts . There were some special ferocious races among them . The adventurers normally didn’t enter this mountain range because they were scared of creating any clash and encountering unnecessary dangers .
In this mountain range, the most commonly seen dangerous creature was the ‘Ominous Gnome’ race . Their body was about half of the height of an ordinary adult, but their muscles were exceptionally developed . Many of them were gifted with magic capability .
For example, everyone knew that the Shaman was required to reach a certain level to obtain the ‘Stone Skin’ . . That magic would allow the caster’s skin to turn into a layer, which looked like a solid rock shield . Thanks to this, one could be able to resist many attacks . This magic had turned every single one from the ‘Ominous Gnome’ race, who lacked defensive equipment due to the underdeveloped technology, into a fully armed soldier .
Besides, the Ominous Gnome still had the ‘blood-thirsty’ and ‘frantic’ abilities . The first ability made them get more and more aggressive as the battle developed . At the same time, they sucked out the vitality of the deceased to recover their physique quickly . The second one allowed them to reach to an amazing speed and strength in a short period of time . Some exceptionally robust Ominous Gnomes could recover their body after resisting some frantic devil beasts . This devil power really broke the rule!
Just only an ordinary Ominous Gnome had already been mighty like this, not to mention the fact that they even got their own civilization system, other powerful particular forces, even a God to protect them . Therefore, whenever the adventurers saw their traces in the mountain, most of them would choose to retreat, avoiding getting in conflict with them .
But, this certainly didn’t apply for Sui Xiong .
“You said, the Ominous Gnome is a creature that very atrocious, brutal, combative, and unreasonable?” The Jellyfish was floating back and forth on the sky, waving his tentacles, and skeptically said, “This is absolutely not right! Don’t you see they are not unreasonable, but very passionately hospitable?”
Lei looked at those Ominous Gnomes whose bodies were painted with all kinds of colors, surrounded him, and constantly bowed to Sui Xiong . He couldn’t help but give a supercilious look . His heart was full of reluctance .
You are brutal! You are ferocious! You are violent! You are unreasonable! You immediately throw away your moral principle when having just met a friendly God!
Where are your Savage Tribe’s dignity and pride! Brazenly ingratiate an outsider like this! All of you aren’t scared the Gods in the sky will get angry!
All of you clearly have destroyed my stage! Do you know not too long ago, I’ve just bragged about all of you?! Do you know a moment ago I’ve just talked about how brave you are?! Do you know I’ve just finished a bloody battle and prepared to die here?!
Brothers, the fact that all of you come out chaotically like this, don’t cooperate like this, really makes me tired . . .
