Elder Alfred impatiently slammed his scepter on the ground and said, “Stop the ruckus!”

Silence immediately enveloped the boisterous village, and Elder Alfred turned to look at Chu Nan. The other druids also followed suit as hundreds of pairs of eyes instantly moved to look at him.

As he felt a chill rise from his back, Chu Nan hastily spoke, “Why are you looking at me?”

“Mister Chu Nan,” Elder Alfred cleared his throat and spoke with discomfort. “First, we would like to thank you for saving Aleta. We, the druid race, would do our best to repay our benefactor, but with the barbarian’s arrival, we are incapable of any repayment. You possess powerful strength as well as the elvish bloodline. The elven race has always maintained friendly relations with the druids, and now that we are currently facing a crisis, we implore you to lend us a hand on the account of your elvish bloodline.”

“This…”

Chu Nan revealed an awkward smile. Although others did not know his true strength, he knew the best. He was someone who possessed ninety-nine energy sources, a genius amongst genius that was a super trash. After he had witnessed Aleta’s unfortunate appearance, he did not wish to end up in the same condition as him.

“I am a human after all, and it wouldn’t be appropriate if I were to interfere with the grudge between druids and barbarians, right? If I provoke the barbarians’ dissatisfaction for humans, won’t I have committed a grave mistake?”

After he finished his noble speech, even Chu Nan himself was surprised. He did not expect that he would have potential as a politician after crossing worlds, and the excuse he gave was honestly reasonable.

“This…” Elder Alfred furrowed his brows.

Even though they knew that Chu Nan was making excuses, their pride prevented them from asking for his help again.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be making a move first…” Chu Nan dryly coughed.

A spear whistled as it flew into the village and firmly etched itself on the ground less than a foot away from Chu Nan.

The three-inch-long spearhead practically buried itself in the ground, and the wooden stick jerked back and forth, clearly displaying the strength of the thrower.

“Leave? No one is allowed to leave today!”

Following the domineering shout, a brawny man walked out from behind a large tree.

He was more than 2.5 meters tall, and the thickness of his waist was comparable to that of a bear’s. His thick arms were two sizes bigger than Jack, with different colors painted all over his skin. There was also an untrimmed leopard skin hanging on his waist as he swung around an axe held together by two wooden sticks and a stone.

He then stood before the druids, and as he opened his mouth that could swallow Chu Nan’s entire head whole, he shouted. “I, Shanz, have returned!”

The short and simple sentence radiated a powerful, wild, and savage aura.

Three barbarians with similar builds followed by his side, and behind him were hundreds more men with heights over 2 meters. Their disordered formation radiated a fierce momentum.

They are barbarians? Chu Nan rubbed his eyes and tried to find someone with the same build as him out of all those monsters to be his opponent.

Fortunately, the heavens did not let him down as he had found a group of barbarians that were of similar height as him. None of these barbarians who had just arrived surpassed the height of 1.8 meters, and their skin was not as tanned as Shanz’s. Instead, it was rather smooth and white, and they wrapped the skin of wild animals around their private parts.

Why are the barbarian men so ugly, yet the females so sexy? Chu Nan secretly felt wronged for those females. Even though they were not as gentle and sweet as Lin Chi-Ling1, with their unique appearance filled with unruliness, it was still possible for them to become models.

“Hmm? There’s a human here?” Shanz sized up Chu Nan, and a smile of contempt immediately surfaced on his face. “He’s even weaker than the females of our barbarian clan.”

When the other barbarians heard Shanz’s comment, they all cracked up in laughter.

“Shanz!”

“Aleta? You aren’t dead?”

Unconcealable surprise reflected in Shanz’s eyes. Aleta, who had been squashed into a pile of meat by , was currently standing before him in one piece.

After a short moment of astonishment, anger surfaced in Shanz’s eyes as he roared, “How could this be possible! Did you use the blood sacrifice that your race forbade‽”

“Blood sacrifice?” Jack stepped forward with a proud smile and pointed toward Chu Nan. “With Mister Chu Nan here, he is capable of healing Aleta’s injuries regardless of how many times you use Battle Fury to severely injure Aleta!”

The moment Chu Nan heard Jack mentioning himself, his heart immediately leaped out. His heroic actions of saving someone was not for him to be shown off in such situations.

As expected, Shanz’s fierce gaze turned to Chu Nan. “You could heal injuries of that severity? I’ll get rid of you first then. I’ll like to see who else is capable of saving him!”

In an instant, hundreds of savage gazes were directed at Chu Nan, and he immediately felt as if he was naked running in a field of snow.

Looking at the hundreds of shining spears in their hands, Chu Nan gulped. He did not have the dexterity that druids possessed, and he was bound to end up like a hedgehog when they threw their spears at him.

Shanz took a step forward, and Chu Nan had the illusion that the ground was shaking.

“Human, stand out if you are a man!”

Shanz brandished his fist that was larger than Chu Nan’s head and excitedly tested his punch on the tree beside him. The trunk of the tree that even a person could not hug had slightly shaken. Rustling sounded from the tree and it instantly triggered the barbarians’ excitement.

Isn’t it seeking death to fight with a monster like him? Just as Chu Nan clicked his tongue and was about to reject, someone pushed him out from behind.
