Facing the steely cold arrow, Bai Yang kept himself together, forcing himself to stay despite still being controlled by fear, and even after knowing that it was best that he left right now.

This was the first time he got in touch with the people living in this world, if he disappeared just like that, who knows what would happen after that. What if these guys stationed someone here to wait for his reappearance again, or if they sent even more people to look for him, disappearing right now meant that he risked not being able to return anymore.

It would be safest for him to leave, but the consequences might exceed his expectations. Besides, with the ability to leave anytime he wanted, he could always leave when the other side showed ill-intent, unless the person was even quicker than the speed of his thoughts.

Bai Yang's attire right now was really odd. On the outside was a camouflage suit, black gloves, a stun baton in one hand and a shovel in the other. Beneath his helmet was a mask that covered his entire face except for eyes that made him look exactly like a terrorist. 

“Who are you? Why are you sneaking around us when we are hunting?” said the burly man with the bow and arrow icy cold.

“#￥%…&*#%*（——）（@%…”

But his words, sounded just like that in Bai Yang's side.

Not only did he not comprehend a single word, but the p.r.o.nunciation of that burly man was also extremely twisted and unnatural to Bai Yang.

The language barrier meant that there would be little to no comprehension. Judging from the muscles, Bai Yang knew that this man could easily snap his neck. Hence, to show that he came in peace, Bai Yang slowly made a globally effective sign….

I hope this sign also means the same in this world…

While he smiled bitterly in the inside, Bai Yang slowly raised his hands, made a surrendering hand sign, his eyes did not even blink as he stared at the man; any odd moves from that man and Bai Yang would run right away, and wait for a week or two until he thinks that the time was right again, he did not believe that these guys would still be there.

While “surrendering”, Bai Yang replied, “I'm lost, and I bear no ill intentions.”

Deep down, Bai Yang already knew that the opposite side would not understand his language but he felt like if he did not say anything, things would turn sour quickly.

Similarly to the scene before, Bai Yang's words sounded just the same in the man's ears, which was, “#￥%…&*#%*（——）（@%…”

But even not understanding what Bai Yang said, the action made by Bai Yang did not give off a bad vibe to this burly man, he felt no threat coming from Bai Yang, thus, his cold glance softened a little.

Footsteps sounded later on, as two more men approached them. Right away, the pressure on Bai Yang intensified as he stood before these monstrous burly men.

These three guys, the shortest among them stood at least 180 cm tall, and the tallest one was more than 200cm tall, his muscles were exceptionally developed, and gave off a really pressuring air.

Though Bai Yang himself was 182 cm tall, because of his size, it felt like he was a few times smaller than these guys, just like a weak chicken.

“Brother Zhao, what's wrong?”

“This guy is peeking at us, while we're hunting!”

“Huh? Why is this guy all covered up? Too afraid to show himself?”

“What do we do? Kill him?”

Bai Yang on the other hand, looked at them with a blurred face as these guys babbled in their language completely unknown to him, little did he know that they were now having a cold and murderous discussion right in front of him, as if they were killing a mere chicken.

“Let's not kill him first, this attire is nothing like what we've seen, besides, his outfit is full with details, the materials are also something ordinary folks can't afford. What if he is someone from a huge background? If he is, killing him recklessly will only doom our village.”

“So what do we do?”

On the other hand, Bai Yang who had little to no presence on the scene could only raise his hands up high. At this point, he finally understood that the one holding a long stick and the other one with empty hands, they were tall and big, but they looked younger, both following the orders of the middle age man wielding the longbow.

These guys are really muscular, if they are my bodyguards, I can do what I want….

Just as Bai Yang's thoughts were running wild, the muscular man holding the bow lowered it down, signaled that he wouldn't harm Bai Yang and slowly place his hand on Bai Yang's head.

Is he going to crush my head or snap my neck?

While he was still considering leaving, he suddenly felt himself being lifted up….

“Ouch ouch ouch…. What are you trying to do!?”

Bai Yang shouted, but the person just couldn't understand.

His vision was blurred in the next second, as a pair of strong arms violently snapped the helmet's strap at Bai Yang's jaw, and Bai Yang fell onto the ground a second later, only then did he realize that the person was just trying to remove the helmet.

“Why are you so rude? Are you barbarians? Can't you just tell or make a hand sign?”

But since these guys did not understand him, Bai Yang could only complain silently, while he removed the mask that covered his face.

And when the three muscular men saw Bai Yang's looks, they were stunned and they looked at each other awkwardly.

“Brother Zhao, seems like we're in deep trouble now.”

“Yeah, look at him, you can already tell that he is the child to someone with power and strength, what we did just now definitely p.i.s.sed him off. Will we get the village in trouble as well?”

“Zhu Zi is right, should we just kill him and run away? There's no one around anyway.”

“Shut up, both of you. This person is definitely one from a huge background. If we kill him, I can guarantee you, his family will find us at any cost, and that is a real disaster. Remember, these huge families all have talented individuals serving them,” scowled the middle-aged man as he interrupted the discussion between the two younger men.

“What should we do then?”

“Is he an idiot? He can't even speak.”

Mumbled the two young men continuously.

I finally know just how important it is to know another foreign language. The CET-41 that I struggled so hard and endured for so many years of studying is completely useless! d.a.m.n, I gotta do something, or I would have to run right now.

Before this situation, Bai Yang started using his brain, at maximum efficiency. With a language barrier standing between them, what was the best way for him to express his kindness? These guys were human, not beasts, which meant that it was still to communicate despite the language barrier….

With a flick of his mind, Bai Yang lit up his eyes for he thought of an idea.

Humans could not be defied of food, and this rule applied to every living being. Thus, without being able to communicate properly, the best form of kindness expression was through sharing food.

With this idea in mind, Bai Yang slowly lowered one of his hand, dropped the shovel, ok, he had to admit that it felt safer with the stun baton in his hands….

He then reached towards a chocolate bar in his pocket he prepared for replenishment and handed it towards the burly man.

The three barbarians exchanged a glance, they couldn't understand what was going on.

Seeing this, Bai Yang gave himself a second to think again, before he split the chocolate into half and started enjoying half of it happily and delivered the other half to the three men again.

“It looks good,” commented the young man named Zhu Zi while he sniffed around.

“He looks like he is sharing it with us?” asked the other young man to the middle-aged man.

With a frown, the leader replied, “He seems like he came in peace, but who knows if it is safe to eat what he offered….”

“Whoa! This is really good! The taste is really unique, sweet and fres.h.!.+”

Bai Yang, on the other hand, looked at his empty hands speechlessly, before s.h.i.+fting his vision towards the muscular man who was obviously in happiness after hurling the remaining chocolate into his mouth. He too, was also embarra.s.sed at the exaggerating moves made by the muscular man.

“Apart from replenis.h.i.+ng energy and to enlighten ladies, are chocolates that useful?” murmured a skeptical Bai Yang.

“…..”, was the thought of the middle-aged man, he felt that his words fell on deaf ears right away when the young man ate the chocolate.

Bai Yang then saw a foolish face squeezing into his sight, with a conflicted expression of wanting more but too embarra.s.sed to ask.

Shouldn't you maintain your cool, even after seeing how much your friend enjoyed it? 

Bai Yang rolled his eyes secretly, reached out to another chocolate bar and delivered it to the other man, “Here, this is the last one.”

Also, worried that these guys wouldn't believe him, he flipped his pockets around to show them.

Though not able to comprehend each other's language, Bai Yang had made it very clear, but to the impatient one, Bai Yang's action was so extra; just like the one previously, this one quickly indulged in the awesome flavor brought to him by the chocolate bar, his eyes lit up and he danced around in joy….

But when they jumped around after being devoured by the pleasure brought by the chocolate bar, the ground was trembling!

Are these chocolates that tasty?

Bai Yang suspected the taste once again.

Unlike the two younger ones that seemed foolish and reckless, the leader however, stared right at Bai Yang, and stood in a stance where he could lunge at Bai Yang anytime.

The middle-aged man, named Brother Zhao, looked at Bai Yang before glancing at his two comrades who were dancing and he pointed at Bai Yang and pointed at themselves again and towards afar….

After some time, Bai Yang finally figured it out and understood that the man wanted him to follow them.

Phew… seems like the danger is no more. Now… all I need to do is to get their trust…. d.a.m.n this language barrier!
