Porter of Two Worlds Chapter 40

Chapter 40: De Yang Town

After leaving the scene and about two hours later, Bai Yang finally started feeling better.

He was just an ordinary human, if he ate and drank too much, his stomach wouldn't feel good, so if he saw such a bloodied scene, he would be afraid too!

He held Xiao Mao's hand tightly in an attempt to chase away the fear in him.

“Zhao s.h.i.+.”

He shouted weakly.

“Young master, I'm here.”

Zhao s.h.i.+ who stood at the side quickly replied.

“How did we do?”

Bai Yang asked right away.

The villagers felt warm right away, working under such kind-hearted “boss”, it would be worth fighting for him!

“Young master, there are no casualties, we are all fine, only a few suffered minor injuries from the impact of the pirate leader's blows. It's alright, we are still all worked up!”

“Good.”

Bai Yang let out a relieved breath, it would be best if no one got hurt.

Zhao s.h.i.+ then hesitated for a bit, “Young master, about the captured pirates, they are all disabled right now, so what are we gonna do about them?”

Eh? Prisoners?

Bai Yang blinked his eyes, he felt a little strange and amazed, that he was able to decide their fate entirely?

“Ughhh, by default, what do you do with them usually?”

“Two ways, we either kill them, the crimes they committed are punishable by death a billion times, or we could send them to the guards in exchange for some rewards. All we need is your decision, young master.”

Zhao s.h.i.+ asked seriously.

Bai Yang was completely stunned, he knew that life was cheap in this world, but not that cheap, they were actually deciding hundreds of life with a single decision!”

He then asked again, “Will there be any problem if we killed them?”

“No.”

The answer he received was clean and simple, as if they were talking about the life of a hundred pigs to be slaughtered.

“Okay, let's send them to the responsible department after we arrive in whatever that town called, De Yang Town?”

Eh?

So you asked so much, only to decide to send these prisoners to the guards?

“Are you stupid? They can't threaten us anymore, so killing them or not matters no longer, they can no longer stand up and pick up a weapon to rob anyone else anymore, besides, throwing them to the officers can get us some rewards, so why not?”

Bai Yang said frustratedly; he wouldn't admit that he was not cold-blooded enough to kill someone, not to mention that their veins were severed and they would have to live in suffer because of that in the future, so why not just spare them?

Hmmm, I'm a good man!

As for what would happen to these bad guys after they were sent to the officials, that was none of his business….

Without explaining further, Bai Yang closed his eyes and started calming himself again, he had yet to recover from the shock he received from the glimpse.

But he was wondering, that there were actually officials in this world, so it seemed like it was not as chaotic as he imagined…..

And they continued the journey…

Bai Yang threw up so hard that he lost the mood for anything, he felt that he was about to die and the shadow shrouding his mood couldn't be measured at all…

Xiao Mao, on the other hand, cared for him attentively on his side, fearing that there would be something wrong.

Throughout the journey, they pa.s.sed through another few intersections, but everything was calm and nothing happened.

Yet, Bai Yang had to praise the villagers' intelligence as they were able to identify the best route in such complicated surroundings….

They did not run into any more bandits, instead, they encountered another batch fo villagers.

At this point, Bai Yang couldn't even be bothered to raise his head a little, he ignored them entirely and was surprisingly not curious to see how were they different from Zhao s.h.i.+ and the others. He had a quick glance and looked away after that….

Zhao s.h.i.+ and the others actually greeted them, it seemed like they knew each other.

Perhaps it was because of the armor they were wearing, but Zhao s.h.i.+ and the others gave the guys a tremendous shock. They did not even dare to go close to them and even waited for them to go first before continuing their journey again….

Bit by bit, after leaving the village for about 8 hours or so, they finally got out from the forest and the view cleared up instantly!

From the exact point after they left the forest, a dividing line seemed to have appeared in the world, the thick bushes and tall trees reached all the way to the end of the skies at both sides, at the front was a calm river, whose depths was unknown and ripples were peaceful.

“Young master, we're out from the Lost Forest, and we will arrive at the docks of De Yang Town after crossing this Bi Bo River.”

Zhao s.h.i.+ whispered to Bai Yang, fearing that he would startle the exhausted Bai Yang.

Hearing this, Bai Yang became slightly more excited and stood up with the help of Xiao Mao.

What he saw next made his mind go blank.

Are you kidding me? This entire water is a ma.s.sive lake, and you're telling me its a river?

To Bai Yang's knowledge, be it Yangtze or Yellow River, one could see the opposite river bank even at the widest gap, but this one, this Bi Bo River, he could barely see the horizon… It was at least ten kilometers wide, and you're telling this was just a river?

My a.s.s!

“Xiao Mao, is this really a river?”

He was extremely unsure about this, so he asked Xiao Mao quietly; with how obedient she was to him, she wouldn't lie.

“Of course, don't you know this, young master?”

Know your head….

While mumbling in his heart, Bai Yang dozed off upon looking at the scene before him; he couldn't imagine just how ma.s.sive a river with a 10km width would be!

He turned around again, took a look at the Lost Forest that stretched to the end of the skies, and wondered just how big the forest was…..

After calculating silently in his heart, Bai Yang realized that they took the most time while coming out of the village, but they did not travel that far as he thought, at most 150km? It couldn't be helped, the rafts were just too slow…

If I have a diesel-fueled boat, I at most need an hour or so but here we are, spending almost 8 hours just to get out….

Bai Yang was speechless.

The rafts sailed slowly on the peaceful river, and because of how calm the river was, it felt like it was not moving at all.

When they departed, there were only four rafts, but now, there were six, the extra two came from the bandits and were now being used to transport them.

Bi Bo River was just like its name, it was ma.s.sive and deep, but calm at the same time.

Continuing forward, Bai Yang later on saw a city wall!

A wall made of stone lied right across the opposite of the river, standing at least 20 meters tall and how long it was couldn't be measured, anyhow, it was ma.s.sively long….

Even further away was a green plain, it appeared to be endless and on it grew some sort of unknown plants, waving at them along with the wind…..

What the…. Such a ma.s.sive city is actually just a town over here!

There was a big exclamation mark floating on Bai Yang's head…..

When they got closer, Bai Yang could already see the so-called dock. It was a few miles long, raft after raft cl.u.s.tered around the dock, pa.s.sing by each other busily and shouts could be heard far away.

If someone did not know, he would even think that this was Chaotianmen Dock….

“Zhao s.h.i.+, don't lie to me, this is what you call De Yang Town? And it's only a small town?”

Bai Yang turned around and looked dead serious at Zhao s.h.i.+.

“Yeah.”

Zhao s.h.i.+ felt very innocent, Lying to you won't benefit me at all…..

“No, wait, tell me, just how big is De Yang Town and the population of this town, do you know anything about it?”

Zhao s.h.i.+ shook his head in confusion, and expressed that he who did not have the chance to study wouldn't know about all of these…

Fine, what else can Bai Yang say? The only way left was to learn all of these by himself. He wondered how these villagers managed to survive until now with that limited knowledge of theirs. Did they not have the urge to learn more?

Ermmm, I'm out from the newbie island now right? But even so, I'm still a level 0 noob, thankfully I have these high-level guards with me right now so it might be fine….

He looked at the opposite side of the river and mumbled.

This world seemed to be a little bit odd, Have you ever seen a so-called town as huge as the Chang'An in ancient history?

While standing on the raft, Bai Yang's mind ran wild.

I'm just a frog, one that jumped out from the well and finally has a chance to have a glimpse of this huge world….
