Chapter 2: The Wild Wolves Group

Eating the meat of Sea Kings can also make one stronger.

You know, powerful people can eat a great deal.

However, hunting Sea Kings is no easy feat. With his ten - year - old body, he simply can't defeat a Sea King.

The top priority now is to train.

Once he has the ability to defend himself, he can go out to sea and hunt Sea Kings.

The island where Xia Luo lives is very small. The habitable area is just a flat stretch near the port, where more than a thousand people live.

Behind the port are mountains after mountains. In fact, the mountains cover about ninety percent of the entire island, and there is no human habitation there.

It's a perfect place for Xia Luo to train and hunt.

As an orphan, Xia Luo has never known who his parents are. He has been living on the charity of the mayor's family, but life has been very tough. Otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have thought about fishing by the sea.

It's just that this time he was unlucky and got swept away by the waves.

Stepping out of the thatched cottage, Xia Luo didn't look back. He picked up a firewood - cutting machete and walked into the boundless mountains.

From now on, he set a small goal for himself: to become the conqueror of these mountains.

At first, when he was thirsty, he drank mountain spring water. When he was hungry, he ate all kinds of fruits. Several times, he almost ate poisonous fruits.

But at such times, his mind would react in time. It was a bit like the spider - sense of Spider - Man in his previous life.

But in this world, it was like being able to foresee the future!

Thanks to his danger sense, Xia Luo didn't live like a fish in water in the mountains, but he was self - sufficient.

From time to time, he'd set up some traps to hunt for prey and have a good meal.

He'd also go down the mountain now and then to swap furs for weapons and such.

This year's training didn't make Xia Luo feel even a tiny bit lonely.

Instead, he was extremely excited because he could truly feel himself getting stronger.

Every morning when he woke up, he could feel that he was stronger than the day before. His body was no longer as frail as before, the kind that could be knocked over by a single wave.

The most obvious change was that he could fight wild boars on the mountain head - on.

Moreover, every time he got injured, as long as he had a big meal, he would feel better the next day.

This made Xia Luo feel how crazy the world of the Pirate King was.

This one - year of scientific training could no longer meet Xia Luo's training needs.

He found that simple push - ups and running were no longer very effective. Even if he did push - ups all day long, he wouldn't get tired at all.

He needed to add more training!

He went down the mountain with the precious animal furs he had collected from a year of hunting.

When he arrived at the port market, people saw a child about one and a half meters tall carrying goods taller than himself, and they all stepped aside.

"Isn't that Xia Luo? Didn't he disappear?"

Some people who knew him before began to be puzzled.

It couldn't be helped. Xia Luo had been on the mountain for a whole year. He had come down very few times, only to buy some necessities and then go back. He rarely showed up.

Even the mayor might not be able to find him.

Xia Luo stopped at a conspicuous spot in the port, acting like there was no one else around. Then he spread out a blanket, put down the furs, and quietly sat on the ground waiting for buyers.

People around gathered around him one after another.

People pointing at Xia Luo annoyed him greatly.

"Are you gonna buy or not? If not, get lost! Don't mess with my business!"

Xia Luo roared at the crowd.

The crowd fell silent instantly. Everyone looked at Xia Luo as if he were a fool.

This made Xia Luo even more irritated.

"Kid, when you come to set up a stall, you should at least find out whose territory this is."

A group of people had set their eyes on Xia Luo as soon as he carried the furs here.

"It's the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang!"

When the crowd saw the Wild Wolf Gang coming, they scattered in all directions, making way for them.

"Get out of the way! Hurry up!"

Four or five hooligan thugs from the Wild Wolf Gang dispersed the people around, clearing a path. A burly man with a thick gold chain around his neck, a gold tooth in his mouth, and a rugged appearance walked out.

Xia Luo frowned and watched all this, a bit surprised.

He didn't expect there would be a gang in a small town with only a thousand people.

But Xia Luo wasn't afraid at all.

"Kid! What are you looking at? Don't you know you have to pay protection money to set up a stall here?"

The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang walked up to Xia Luo and looked down at him, while rummaging through the furs laid out on the blanket.

"Hey! These furs are something special! There aren't even any wounds on them!"

The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang casually picked out two furs. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be fox furs.

"Not bad. These two furs will be your protection money!"

Saying that, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang was about to pull his hand back.

But Xia Luo was quick - witted and grabbed the leader's wrist, looking at him menacingly.

"Huh?"

The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang looked at the small hand holding his wrist and tried to pull it out forcefully. To his surprise, he couldn't. Instantly, he stared at Xia Luo with a scowl.

"Pay up. Twenty thousand berries for the two of them!"

Xia Luo said calmly.

Hearing the strange words "pay up" all of a sudden, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang burst into laughter, laughing very loudly, throwing his head back.

The lackeys beside him, seeing their leader laughing like crazy, didn't understand why, but they also started laughing along.

"Hahaha! Ahahahaha!"

"Pay up? I, Bess, have never paid for anything in my life when buying stuff!"

Bess said and abruptly shook off Xia Luo's hand.

He thought he could fling the kid away, but unexpectedly, Xia Luo didn't even budge.

"Looks like you're here to cause trouble!"

Xia Luo stood up, holding Bess's wrist as he spoke.

After seeing this, Bess couldn't help taking two steps back, but Xia Luo held him firmly, and he couldn't move at all. Just as he was about to draw a dagger with his right hand.

With a sudden burst of strength from Xia Luo, Bess staggered and was pressed to the ground.

It happened so fast that Bess didn't even have time to react and was pinned down.

"Boss!"

The lackeys beside him came to their senses.

They all drew their daggers and batons and rushed towards Xia Luo.

"Damn it, let me go. You're dead. You're definitely dead."

Bess, who was being stepped on by Xia Luo, wriggled desperately, trying to break free from Xia Luo's control.

But Xia Luo's foot was like a pair of pliers, firmly stepping on Bess, making all of Bess's resistance useless.

"This kid is doomed. Offending the Wild Wolf Gang means there's no place for him in this town!"

Just when everyone felt sorry for the child.

Xia Luo stepped on Bess while looking at the thugs charging towards him, with the corners of his mouth curling up.

He leaned slightly to one side and knocked down five of them with just a few punches and kicks.

"Ouch!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

The five people wailed on the ground.

This scene left Bess, who was under Xia Luo's foot, stunned.

It also left the onlookers around stunned.

"This! This...!"

Everyone was shocked by Xia Luo's actions.

He knocked down five people with just a few punches and kicks, and it seemed as if he didn't even exert much force.

Ignoring everyone's astonishment, Xia Luo squatted down, grabbed the gold necklace hanging around Bess's neck and yanked off the gem - studded ring on his finger.

Then he landed a punch on Bess's mouth.

Instantly, Bess let out a pain - filled scream.
