Have you ever tried the feeling of a rapidly descending elevator suddenly stopping? In that instant, do you feel your whole body freeze, your heart and lungs 'thump', and then dizziness and cold sweat?
In his past life, Du Chen had experienced this feeling, and now, accompanied by a loud noise, it felt like the world was trembling, and he once again experienced this feeling.
Is it an earthquake?
Doesn't seem like it!
Is it thunder?
Also not right, at this moment, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly! Then what was that sound? Du Chen looked around in confusion, but unfortunately, besides the official road, the continuous mountains in the distance, and the bandits and mercenaries, he didn't find anything unusual.
The mercenaries who had just arrived in the Rivik Province were also at a loss, looking at Du Chen one by one, waiting for orders.
Suddenly, just a few seconds ago, the ferocious and fearless leader of the bandits, after the loud noise, had a drastic change in his expression and shouted, "The devil is here again, run!"
The bandits were instantly panicked.
Only our Aliza remained calm and fearless, still striding forward, rushing to the front of the bald bandit leader at a speed that didn't match his physique, and swung his iron-like fist like lightning, landing a punch on the leader's chin.
Mixed with blood, the leader flew up, but upon closer inspection, a few teeth fell from the blood.
When the leader reached the highest point of his flight, Aliza jumped high into the air and threw a punch towards the sky.
Thud!
The poor leader once again increased his flying trajectory, contributing more blood and teeth.
When Aliza landed, a few teeth happened to fall on his head, making a pleasant sound of teeth hitting his bald head.
Our Aliza took a closer look and found a big gold tooth among them.
"Young master, we're going to get rich!"
He picked up the gold tooth from the ground, rubbed it on his pants, and carefully put it into his pocket.
"Hehe!" Aliza laughed innocently, as if he had just played a fun game, then he waved his unusually large arm and rushed towards the next target. "Hey, whose teeth are made of gold?"
"Wow! A true hero!"
The mercenaries exclaimed loudly, while the guardians of the Saint Kain family hung their heads in disappointment. They remembered the scene when Aliza ** before, luckily he had shown mercy at that time.
Like a tiger among sheep, Aliza relied on his extraordinary strength and astonishing speed to defeat more than a dozen bandits in the blink of an eye.
He casually extended his long arm, grabbed a bandit by the collar, and delivered a punch to his face. Then he opened the poor bandit's mouth, searching for the opportunity to 'get rich'.
Watching Aliza earnestly searching for gold teeth, with his innocent and straightforward appearance, Du Chen couldn't help but laugh. At this moment, Steve got off the carriage, looking interested as he observed Aliza's 'performance'. He jokingly patted Du Chen's shoulder and said, "From now on, we'll leave the task of cleaning up the battlefield to Ali Zha! Nothing will be missed!"

He turned his head and shouted to the mercenaries, "Brave gentlemen, I pay you in gold coins, not to watch the show. Act now, capture a few alive and find out what that sound was!"
After saying that, Steve summoned his holy artifact - Sigru's gauntlet - and smiled, "It's been a while since I've had some fun with a man. Let's have some fun today! We must enjoy ourselves..." Du Chen rolled his eyes beside him, "Big brother, what are you talking about? Enjoy ourselves doing what?"
He raised his hands high, and clusters of meteor showers chased after the fleeing bandits, turning them into Aliza's favorite roasted suckling pigs!
As soon as the mercenaries joined in, the scene immediately turned bloody. These battle-hardened mercenaries were ruthless killers, striking at the bandits' vital points with every slash and thrust.
In almost the blink of an eye, dozens of bodies lay on the ground.
Was this the real world of fighter gods?
Yesterday, the mercenaries were laughing and drinking together, and now they were harvesting human lives like chickens, with smiles on their faces!?
Du Chen felt uncomfortable deep down. As someone from the civilized world, he found it hard to accept such a bloody scene where the killers seemed so content.
"Aliza, bring me one of them alive!" Du Chen shouted.
"Okay, young master, this one will do!" Without even looking, Aliza casually grabbed a bandit from beside him and ran back to Du Chen, tossing the bandit to the ground. He was about to 'get rich' again.
"Don't do it, help me interrogate this guy!" Du Chen couldn't bear to watch any longer and stopped Aliza.
He didn't want to involve a teenager in such a bloody affair.
Turning his back and no longer looking at the cruel scene, Du Chen glanced at the captive Aliza had just brought. He couldn't help but be taken aback, "You... are a dwarf? Or a gnome? Or some other mixed-up race?"
It turned out that the captive Aliza had casually grabbed was not a human.
His skin was very pale, a kind of pale without any hint of color, and he was very fat, as fat as his height. He looked like a big snowball, only reaching up to Du Chen's waist.
However, this guy's facial features were no different from those of humans, and his limbs were the same.
The captive trembled all over, his fat jiggling up and down. He knelt, or rather, lay on the ground—his fat body could be manipulated into a ball in any position. He pleaded, "Noble young master, please, please forgive my crimes! I... I am a Snowbeast Harry."
"Snowbeast? Kill him!" Aliza raised his fist.
"Ali Zha, stop!" Du Chen shouted at him, but without blaming him.
The so-called Snowbeasts were said to be a subservient race of the demon race during the war between humans and demons long ago. They became enemies of humans, known for their treachery, laziness, and cunning, but without any real abilities. They survived by scheming and flattery, and were a race despised and looked down upon by everyone.
However, precisely because of their weakness, humans did not exterminate them after the demons were destroyed. They were simply suppressed from all sides and their living conditions were strictly restricted.
"Oh, noble young master, praise your kindness! Your friend is so brave that he almost scared me to death. Please allow me to kiss your toes in gratitude for stopping this warrior!" Harry's fat face was filled with a flattering smile as he actually went to kiss Du Chen's toes.
"You **** off!" Goosebumps rose on Du Chen's skin as he kicked Harry away.
No wonder humans looked down on Snowbeasts!
Du Chen shook his head inwardly and asked fiercely, "Now, I'll ask a question and you answer. Otherwise, Aliza, knock out all his teeth and see if there's any gold!"
Harry immediately shut up and looked at Du Chen obediently.
"What was that sound just now? Why did your leader say the devil was coming?"
"Firstly, allow me to praise your courage. I was almost scared to pee my pants just now, but you..." Seeing Du Chen's displeased expression, he quickly changed his tone and spoke very smoothly, "Recently, this area has had several occurrences of this sound, and every time it rings out, it brings a major disaster!"
"Disaster? What kind of disaster?"
"Allow me to explain in detail!" Harry lay on the ground, stealing glances at Du Chen's expression. His thin lips were very slick. "In September, when this sound rang out, there was a major earthquake along the Neoin River, causing a flood that only happens once every fifty years. In October, just as the blocked river was being cleared, the sound occurred again, causing two mountains along the river to collapse due to an earthquake, blocking the river again..."
"Are you saying that every time this sound rings out, an earthquake occurs?" Du Chen asked in astonishment.
