9 The Cold Swordsman

The result of their swift action to kneel down and express their respect to the deer was surprisingly good. The white deer was merciful and let the man and dog off.

It lowered its head to drink water and no longer paid attention to the nearby creatures.

The wild black boar turned around and ran as if it had been pardoned.

The three antelopes showed no intention of leaving for the time being. They respectfully waited for the white deer to go before they continued to drink water.

At this moment, Zhao Hao collapsed to the ground. His body was exhausted, and he was even more tired than when he had trained for an entire day.

The evolutionary creature that had scared him with just a look once again subverted his understanding.

He simply lay on the ground, recovering his strength while thinking about what had just happened.

It was obvious that the creatures in the World of Evolution did not have the concept of human beings, nor was there any hatred between races. In the eyes of the white deer, Zhao Hao was just an evolutionary creature like Handsome Black and the antelopes.

When Zhao Hao showed it the same respect as the other creatures, the white deer did not reveal any intention of making things difficult for him.

At the same time, Zhao Hao also verified a conjecture: Not all evolutionary creatures liked to kill.

For example, the three antelopes definitely had the ability to kill the wild black boar, but they did not do so.

According to Zhao Hao's guess, herbivores only had a strong desire to kill when they needed to evolve. On the other hand, carnivorous animals were more ruthless. For example, Handsome Black would start fighting at the slightest disagreement. However, ever since it digested the giant silver wolf's crystal, it seemed to have lost interest in all kinds of animal crystals.

"Roar!"

The deafening roar of a wild beast entered Zhao Hao's ears.

He turned over and looked closely. It was the large male antelope that had let out a roar.

The young antelope was lying in a pool of blood. It had been cut in two by some kind of sharp weapon.

Zhao Hao's eyes went wide open when he saw the culprit.

Human!

It was a human!

Zhao Hao had mixed feelings. It had not been easy. After ten days of solitude in this strange world, he finally saw someone of his own kind!

Zhao Hao was shocked when he took a closer look at the man's appearance.

The man was in his twenties and had Chinese features. He had black eyes and yellow skin. He was so handsome that he could be regarded as a prince charming. This person had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His expression was cold, and the aura he exuded was similarly cold. The first impression he gave others was that of a cold young man.

His long hair danced in the wind, making him look even more elegant.

His attire left Zhao Hao flabbergasted.

The first thing he saw was a set of silver-white light armor and a pair of matching silver-white boots. The mighty and extraordinary armor made his slender and tall body look majestic and invincible. This outfit reminded Zhao Hao of the silver knight set in a famous fantasy game. It looked really cool.

In comparison, Zhao Hao, who was wearing ordinary sportswear, instantly felt like a low-class chicken.

The cold young man held a broadsword in his right hand and a silver-white scabbard in his left hand.

The broadsword exuded a powerful aura that could cut through everything. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.

Zhao Hao subconsciously looked at the machete in his hand, which had four holes, and warm tears began to flow down from his eyes before he could say anything.

Just as Zhao Hao was sizing up the cold young man, the battle by the pool had already begun.

The male antelope pounced forward at an astonishing speed.

The speed and power of its attack far surpassed that of the giant wolf. Zhao Hao believed that he would have no chance of blocking, or even surviving, this attack with his current level of power.

A sword light flashed!

Zhao Hao did not even see how the cold young man attacked. But he did see how in the next moment, the male antelope's head had been severed and fell to the ground.

Immediately after, another sword light flashed, and the other antelope also fell into a pool of its own blood.

The cold young man's swordsmanship was incredibly mighty.

"He's so awesome! That's definitely not something that a person like me with only over 20 combat power can do. What is his combat power? 100 points, or maybe 200 points?"

Zhao Hao watched this scene with his mouth agape. He was deeply shocked by the cold young man's unparalleled combat power.

The cold young man had no intention of dissecting the bodies to dig out the crystals. The exquisite sapphire ring on his left index finger suddenly formed a twisted and strange small space, sucking all the bodies of the three antelopes into it.

"What was that? Was that a legendary interspatial ring?"

Zhao Hao's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets. He was so shocked by the scene in front of him that his heart started beating wildly.

Thinking of his backpack, he suddenly felt a sense of sorrow as if he were a beggar who had met a tall, rich, and handsome man.

The cold young man was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.

He turned around and stared at the spot where Zhao Hao was hiding.

Killing intent!

Zhao Hao sensed a strong killing intent from a hundred meters away.

He stood up and ran over, keeping a distance of ten meters from the other party. He said sincerely, "Brother, I mean no harm. Can we talk?"

The other party was the first living person Zhao Hao had met in the World of Evolution. He was being truly sincere because he had too many things to say, too many questions to ask, and too many experiences to exchange.

However, the cold young man did not give him any face.

He gripped his sword tightly and stared coldly at Zhao Hao.

Could it be that this guy isn't Chinese and doesn't understand what I'm saying?

Zhao Hao's mind raced as he tried to converse in a different way. "Kan yow suhpikeh yingliss? (Can you speak English?)"

The cold young man did not reply and continued to stare at the other party coldly.

Zhao Hao did not give up and tried a different way. "Aniyyo, are you Korean mida?"

The cold young man still remained as cold as ever, and he still did not say a word in return.

Zhao Hao displayed his indomitable Olympic spirit. "Oh, hey, moshi, moshi! You, Japanese?"

The cold young man ignored Zhao Hao completely as if he did not understand what he was saying.

Zhao Hao did not give up and used his final move. "Sawadika, are you mute?"

This time, the cold young man finally reacted. "F*ck off!"

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment before he said angrily, "F*ck, so you can speak Chinese! Why didn't you say anything for so long?"

"F*ck off!" The cold young man replied with the same words.

"Brother, don't be so arrogant. Why are you, a Chinese, making things so difficult for a fellow Chinese?" Zhao Hao looked like he was trying to reason with the facts and continued, "To be honest, I don't mean anything else. You're the first living person I've met, so I just want to exchange my experiences with you. We can also form a team and take care of each other."

The other party became even colder when he heard that. "F*ck off!"

After being told to f*ck off three times in a row, even a man made of mud would be angry.

If this was on Earth, there was no way that Zhao Hao would have even been able to tolerate being talked to in such a way a single time. He would have exploded long ago. It was just that, in this strange World of Evolution, it was not easy for him to meet a fellow human. Moreover, he was even a fellow countryman. As such, Zhao Hao suppressed his anger and asked, "Aren't humans supposed to look out for each other here? May I ask why you must chase me away? Give me a reason."

The cold young man looked at Zhao Hao deeply as if trying to determine whether he was a rookie or just acting.

A moment later, he finally stopped saying "f*ck off" and said a few more words, "Weaklings are not worthy of being my companions."
