Chapter 4: First Encounter with Little Fairy Doctor, Triggering the First Kill

"Father, I want to go out and gain experience."

When Mu Chen returned, Mu Zhan finally revealed his plans.

"Okay, be careful while you're out and about."

Mu Chen also knew that staying in one's comfort zone would not make one a strong person; one must go through hardships to become a true strong person.

"These contain some medicines and supplies for traveling, just in case."

As Mu Chen spoke, he handed Mu Zhan a storage ring containing some pills, gold coins, and a life-saving trump card.

At the same time, Mu Chen would secretly send a trusted expert to accompany him, since he only had this one son.

"Thank you, Father!"

Mu Zhan still respected his adoptive father very much. He had always been good to him since he was a child, not only participating in his growth but also managing the family, which was no easy task.

Mu Zhan rode a flying magical beast from the capital city and, after several transfers, arrived at the small town of Qingshan, near the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

This is Xiao Yan's first stop after leaving the beginner village. The boss is easy, and he can clear the dungeon with little difficulty.

Mu Zhan came to Qingshan Town for two purposes: first, to take Little Fairy Doctor away, and second, to receive Xiao Yan's newbie gift pack.

Little Fairy Doctor is a future Dou Sheng-level combatant, and we must win her over. As for Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body, I have three great talismans that can completely solve the problem.

As Mu Zhan entered Qingshan Town, he was greeted by various shops selling healing pills, monster flesh and blood, and weapons.

The area is mostly inhabited by mercenaries who make a living by hunting monsters in the Monster Mountain Range. Most mercenaries join mercenary groups, as they have a higher chance of survival if they act together.

The largest mercenary group is the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, whose leader is Mu She, a one-star Dou Shi.

He was also the first boss Xiao Yan encountered after leaving the beginner village.

After making several inquiries, Mu Zhan finally found the Wan Yao Zhai, where many injured mercenaries were recuperating.

Upon entering Wan Yao Zhai, one sees a woman using tools to bandage a mercenary's wounds.

She wore a light white dress. Her appearance was not stunning, but she was still a rare beauty, exuding a fresh and ethereal aura.

Mu Zhan's gaze moved downwards, finally settling on the slender waist bound by a green ribbon. Looking at that waist, which was barely large enough to be grasped in one hand, Mu Zhan was basically certain of the woman's identity.

The girl who rescued the mercenary was none other than Little Fairy Doctor, who possessed the Calamity Poison Body.

Little Fairy Doctor is kind and helpful. Most of the mercenaries in Qingshan Town have been treated by her, so they all respect her.

"Young man, stop looking. There are many people like you who came here because of its reputation, but they all left empty-handed."

An elderly mercenary nearby noticed that Mu Zhan kept staring at Xiao Yixian and assumed that Mu Zhan was like Xiao Yixian's other suitors.

Do you have a map of the herb-gathering area in the Monster Mountain Range?

Mu Zhan ignored the old mercenary and walked straight towards Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor noticed Mu Zhan as soon as he entered. There was no way around it; Mu Zhan's clothes and appearance were too conspicuous among this group of mercenaries.

When she saw Mu Zhan approaching, she frowned and wanted to refuse him, because she shared the same view as the old mercenary, thinking that Mu Zhan, like his suitors, wanted to pursue her.

What she didn't expect was that the person was just asking if she had a map for gathering herbs. Knowing she had been presumptuous, Little Fairy Doctor blushed a little and was glad that she hadn't said anything to reject his advances, otherwise she would have made a big fool of herself.

"Yes, I'll go get it for you right away."

After finishing her work, Little Fairy Doctor jogged into a small room and returned with a map in her hand.

"Thank you, how much?"

After Mu Zhan obtained the map and glanced at its general contents, he stored it in his storage ring and inquired about the price of the Little Fairy Doctor's map.

"It's free, and it's not anything valuable."

I almost misunderstood them just now, so how could Little Fairy Doctor have the nerve to ask them for money? She waved her hands repeatedly in refusal.

Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor wouldn't accept money no matter what, Mu Zhan took out a gold coin, placed it on the counter, and then turned and left.

"He's not planning to go into the Monster Mountain Range alone, is he?"

Little Fairy Doctor was very kind. She guessed that Mu Zhan bought the map because he wanted to enter the Monster Mountain Range. However, Mu Zhan looked so young and had no elders with him.

Fearing that Mu Zhan might die, she wanted to warn him. Seeing the gold coins on the counter, she picked them up and chased after him, but by the time she reached the door, Mu Zhan had already disappeared.

However, Mu Zhan's act of taking the gold coins was witnessed by a group of fierce-looking mercenaries nearby.

"Boss, did you see that? That kid has a storage ring."

A short, sleazy-looking man spoke to a burly man with three scars on his face.

"This kid is probably just some young master from a powerful family out having fun again."

The scarred, burly man stroked the several storage rings on his hand, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"And what about us?"

The younger brother made a snapping gesture.

"Let's go, after we finish this job, we'll go into hiding for a while."

The scarred man picked up his weapon and, with his henchmen, chased after Mu Zhan in the direction he had gone.

……

Mu Zhan noticed that several little tails had followed him without him noticing. He smirked and deliberately chose to go to secluded places.

"You've been following me for so long, aren't you ready to come out?"

Mu Zhan walked to a secluded alley, stopped, and said to those behind him.

"Well, you actually found out, kid."

The scarred man and several of his henchmen appeared in Mu Zhan's line of sight.

They were all armed, staring at Mu Zhan as if he were their prey.

"You've done plenty of murder and robbery, haven't you? Haven't you ever thought about the day you'd lose your life?"

Mu Zhan stretched out his hand and pointed at each person with his finger, as if to confirm the number of people.

"You don't need to worry about that. Just hand over your money and I'll spare your life."

Seeing Mu Zhan's calm demeanor, the big man was also a little unsure, but seeing so many underlings around him, he felt more confident.

"Is that so?"

Mu Zhan's fighting spirit manifested in his black and white gauze robe. With a push of his right foot, he instantly flashed in front of the burly man using his movement techniques.

Mu Zhan's speed was too fast; the big man didn't even have time to react before Mu Zhan flashed in front of him.

Flames and battle aura clung to Mu Zhan's hands as his powerful fists slammed into the burly man's face without reservation.

puff!

A fist slammed into the big man's face, and the big man's head was smashed by Mu Zhan's punch, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, leaving only a headless corpse standing in place.

This was the first time Mu Zhan had gone all out. He had held back during their previous sparring sessions in the capital, but now that this was a life-or-death battle, he dared not hold back and went all out from the start.

"A Battle Master...a Battle Master! He's a Battle Master!"

The incident happened in an instant; before the younger brother could even react, he was covered in blood from flying flesh and blood.

"I...we are from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, you can't kill us."

Although the group were thugs who robbed and plundered, they only bullied the weak. They had never encountered a killing god like Mu Zhan, who was decisive and ruthless in his attacks.

They were so frightened by the scene that their legs went weak and they couldn't even run. They quickly called upon the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"I don't care what mercenary group you are, if you mess with me you'll die."

Mu Zhan used flames to evaporate the blood from his hands, and, suppressing his discomfort, dealt with the remaining people one by one.

After everyone had been dealt with, Mu Zhan finally couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited.

"Damn, this is so uncomfortable."

Mu Zhan vomited for a while, almost throwing up his dinner from the night before. After all, in his previous life he was an ordinary person living in modern society who had never even killed a chicken or duck, let alone a human.

However, Mu Zhan also knew that it was impossible not to kill people in this Dou Qi Continent, so he had to adapt and urge himself to adapt to this world as soon as possible.

Mu Zhan took the valuables from the group and put them into his storage ring. He then threw out a flame, instantly burning the corpses.

The entire process—from looting the bag to destroying the evidence—was completed in one swift motion.
