Chapter 68: The Small Figure

When Xiao Fen was talking with Sabova, he realized that killing those humanoid Monsters before involved communication with the humans of the surface world, and now, after he said the Source of Mutation, he had already partially integrated into this Human World.

At the same time, when he heard that the Source of Mutation was not a natural product but a man-made crystal, his first reaction was that there was an Awakened nearby.

Theoretically, the Source of Mutation was not much different from the Filth Origin Xiao Fen had learned, although the Monsters infected through mutation might be more power ful than level 0 Filth Life.

But that was just a difference in magnitude, there should be commonalities in essence.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Xiao Fen’s first thought was the conclusion that “the Awakened is nearby”.

However, he quickly rejected this idea, the World Tree would not allow an Awakened to rashly intrude into this low-level Trial World.

So, what exists nearby might just be a scientific madman, not some Awakened.

Ilyenko looked at Xiao Fen and continued to ask, “What is the specific situation of the Monsters you faced?”

Sabova interrupted from the side, “Comrade Ilyenko, if you have any questions, or if there is anything you haven’t said yet, why don’t we go to those places and take a look, and then everyone can make a decision?”

Ilyenko thought for a moment, nodded and said, “Alright, do as you say, I’m still not at ease with this guy, but going to see those places now doesn’t have much of a problem either.”

The three of them walked up the steps together, around Xiao Fen, there were now four fully armed soldiers surrounding him.

Especially the two soldiers behind Xiao Fen, they were both holding thick pistols, the hammers were already cocked, in a state ready to fire at any time.

This appearance looked like they were protecting Xiao Fen’s safety, but to be precise, it looked more like they were guarding against him.

The group had just walked out of the prison when they stopped again, which made Xiao Fen somewhat irritable.

Because there were always Natives around him, he had been unable to call out the World Tree’s control console to check his main quest progress, nor could he purchase corresponding equipment through the control platform, plus he was starving, all of which made him hostile towards the people who kept interrupting their walking rhythm.

This time, what appeared in front of Xiao Fen and the others was a young man who looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

Charming golden hair, handsome appearance, tall physique made this young man look full of charm.

The shallow smile hanging on his face had an almost irresistible attraction for women, as for the well-tailored suit and so on, it further improved the class of this young man.

However, such attraction was obviously far from enough for Sabova, she glanced at this young man with some disgust on her face and asked, “Councilor Nusyanov, not going to inspect the defense fortifications you contracted at this time, what are you doing here?”

“Don’t say that, dear Miss Sabova, you see, things like defense fortifications are best left to those who know the trade, if someone like me who knows nothing about fortifications goes to inspect, it will instead make people at a loss, my father told me, leave professional things to professional people to be responsible, I listened to this, and I also did so.”

After nodding to signal Ilyenko, Nusyanov continued, “In the morning, I heard that the security department’s reconnaissance team captured a mountain man, you see, I hope to be able to help a little in this regard, so I specially rushed over.”

“Specially rushed over when we are about to leave this prison? Very precise time calculation.”

Regarding Ilyenko’s sarcasm, the handsome young man did not get angry, but smiled and answered, “For the security department and the garrison army joining hands, the city council also needs to maintain sufficient attention.”

Just when Sabova was about to say something, Xiao Fen could no longer endure this endless chatter.

His body suddenly lowered, he exerted force and rushed forward, before the two soldiers behind him could react, he had already charged to Nusyanov’s side, raised his hand and punched this young man.

“No matter who you are, what background you have, to me, you are just a waste, I don’t have time for this kind of boring nagging, if you don’t understand, I will teach you to understand.”

This was a thought that suddenly appeared to Xiao Fen, and he did so.

No one expected that Xiao Fen would suddenly launch an attack on a councilor, especially when this councilor was negotiating with the local garrison and the security department.

This attack seemed to symbolize something, and seemed to symbolize nothing, but no matter what impact it would have, at least for now, no one could stop Xiao Fen’s action.

Strangely, regarding Xiao Fen’s sudden attack, Nusyanov seemed to be prepared.

The moment Xiao Fen punched, this tall young man had already leaned his body slightly, placed his fists in front of his head, wanting to block Xiao Fen’s punch.

But just as Xiao Fen rushed out, his heart tensed, feeling that his rash impulse was wrong, so although he rushed up and punched, the power of this movement was not fully exerted.

Seeing that the opponent seemed to have expected and prepared a defense, he was even more clear in his heart, his right hand suddenly changed from a fist to a grab in the air, grabbed Nusyanov’s wrist pulse gate position, and suddenly exerted force.

Sabova, who was a little further away, before she could react, could already faintly hear the creaking sound of Nusyanov’s wrist bone in Xiao Fen’s hand, one could imagine how great the force of Xiao Fen’s grab was.

Being suddenly and fiercely pinched on the pulse gate was enough to make a person’s whole body weak, and the strength of Xiao Fen’s hand here was even more amazing, just with this pinch, Nusyanov’s whole body suddenly went soft.

If Xiao Fen hadn’t still had strength, this young councilor would have fallen to the ground.

Xiao Fen was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something, a wave that seemed to exist and not exist suddenly appeared on the front side of his brain.

This kind of wave could directly affect his brain thinking, if he hadn’t detected and guarded against it just now, he would have fallen for it again.

He suddenly turned his head, in that direction, a person wearing the same suit as Nusyanov’s subordinate lowered his head, seemingly wanting to avoid direct eye contact with Xiao Fen.

In the Trial World, Natives might also possess some abilities similar to Trialists, just like the mental shock from that person just now.

Xiao Fen immediately realized this.

The corner of his mouth suddenly revealed a dangerous smile, lowered his head to look at the young councilor who had already started to squat halfway, and asked, “Sir, I smell a familiar scent on you.”
