Chapter 9: Uncle Motor Died!

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

“For example, burning water, or a flame that gets colder the less it burns?”

Su Han knew that this world and Earth were two worlds with completely different rules. On Earth, flame burning was a change in energy caused by the violent movement of molecules, and here, this characteristic of burning was actually bestowed by the law.

The law gave the fire element the characteristic of burning, so they could burn.

Then what if the burning was given to the water element?

Su Han came to the stove where his sister was cooking. Looking at the pot of water, he decided to experiment with this idea of his.

“Gather the water element! Burn!” Su Han shouted and used his mental strength to construct these two wheels of rules.

In the next moment, the pot of water started to burn with raging flames.

Su Han was overjoyed. He did not expect that he had actually succeeded!

If it was water that could burn, then what was it? It was clearly oil!

Su Han quickly extinguished the flames in the pot and filled some water into the oil lamp. Su Yu’er had just returned from outside and saw Su Han’s actions. She immediately shouted and rushed over, saying, “Brother, stop! No matter how much oil is mixed with water, it won’t increase!”

Su Han chuckled and stretched out his hand. The two wheels of rules quickly gathered in his hand, and the water in the oil lamp began to burn with a whoosh.

Su Yu’er’s outstretched hand froze on the spot. She looked at the burning water in astonishment, unable to say a word.

Su Han chuckled and said, “Su Yu’er, you don’t have to buy oil anymore. If you don’t have any oil, take a bucket to the creek and fill it with a bucket of water. This is pure, natural, and pollution-free!”

On the third day, something happened in the village.

Someone died.

As soon as he entered the village, Su Han saw that there were many people surrounding the village. Su Han squeezed in to take a look. There were two corpses lying on the stretcher. They were covered in blood. There were marks of being bitten and cut by sharp knives.

“The two of them are members of the third team. This morning, we found them in the wasteland six thousand meters away from the village.”

The leader was a golden-haired human. He wore leather armor and carried a magic sword on his back.

He carefully examined the wound on the corpse, and his expression became unusually grave.

“Some kind of beast, or orc,” he said in a deep voice.

“Orc?” A warrior said in fear, “Why are they here?”

The blonde young man said, “The border of the orc tribe is just over a few mountains. Since they are here, they obviously have the same purpose as us.”

“The Divine Treasure?” A mage girl frowned. “We have been searching in the mountains for days, but we still haven’t found anything. Can you confirm the accuracy of this information?”

The blond youth said indifferently, “This is the revelation that Lady Vivian received. It can’t be fake.”

“Except for Leilou City, all the major cities have ruled out the possibility that the exploration teams are stationed in the nearby villages. We have to find the location of the Divine Treasure ahead of time. It doesn’t matter how many people die!”

“Let’s go!”

The blond youth glanced at Su Han who was watching and led the group out of the village.

Su Han looked at the two twisted corpses and frowned slightly. The thing he was most worried about had happened. Those outsiders had brought disaster to this place. Fortunately, it was their people who had died and did not affect the village.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone call his name. Uncle Motor, whom he had not seen for a few days, walked over. He carried a sack on his back and pulled Su Han aside. He said in a low voice,  “Xiao Han, take it!”

He took out a rabbit from the sack and stuffed it into Su Han’s hand.

Su Han widened his eyes and said, “Uncle Motor, where did you come from?! You can’t have…”

Uncle Motor quickly covered his mouth and said, “Lower your voice. Don’t let anyone hear you. My body and bones have been idle for the past few days. Quickly take it home and let your sister stew it. I’ll treat you to a drink tomorrow. I know you like this!”

Su Han couldn’t resist him, so he had to bring the rabbit home.

As soon as they got home, Su Yu’er asked, “Where did the rabbit come from?”

Su Han said, “Uncle Motor gave it to me.”

He put down the rabbit and said,  “Little Yu’er, don’t go out and run around at night. There are orcs outside. It’s very dangerous.”

That night, Su Yu’er was awakened by the roars outside. Su Han hugged her and told her not to be afraid. She nodded and went back to sleep.

The next day, Su Han was woken up by the sound of crying.

He came to the village and saw seven or eight stretchers in front of the village. A few women were crying with corpses in their arms.

On one of the stretchers was Uncle Motor.

Su Han was stunned. He quickly went to the stretcher and looked at Uncle Motor’s corpse.

“What’s going on? How could Uncle Motor… He was still…”

The woman kneeling in front of Uncle Motor cried even louder.

“Last night, someone attacked the village. A few families living at the edge of the village were all killed.”

A wounded warrior from Leilou City panted and said, “Their target is Lady Vivian!”

“It’s the human forces that attacked us this time!”

Su Han did not say anything. He looked at Uncle Motor’s corpse and slowly clenched his fists.
