Capítulo 16: Bait
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Small sized humanoid monsters carrying shovels and pickaxes fell to the ground as a big group of over one hundred humans clothed in ragged clothes fired their guns at them.
The monsters were two times more than the people fighting them, but they did not have the technology of firearms nor did they have spells in their arsenal like the common Fireball, Earth Spike and other similar spells.
In the middle of the group could be seen a small group of three people, a dog and a strange, half a meter owl as they helped the others in dealing with the remaining monsters.
woof!
A dog's growl could be heard as a red figure bit into the neck of a monster. Disgusting sounds of flesh being ripped apart could be heard, but they were soon engulfed into the crazed cries of the people and monsters.
The small group of the trio and the two beasts were Wang Tao and his group.
After killing the Giant Spider, the group searched around the city for survivors of the groups that were scattered apart, quickly forming a big group of a hundred people, before facing a wave of attacks from
The Kobolds had no special characteristics other than their short figures and the shovels and pickaxes they were carrying. In short, there was not much of a difference between them and Goblins.
"I reached level 4!" exclaimed Ying Yue happily
"I have also reached level 7." a smile full of delight could be seen on old man Zhang's face
"Good job, you two. We should kill more of these monsters and level up faster." spoke Wang Tao as he checked his notifications
"You have leveled up!"
"Your contracted familiar, Fire, has leveled up!"
"Your contracted familiar, Fire, has leveled up!"
"Your contracted familiar, Kiki, has leveled up!"
Just from fighting the Kobolds helped Wang Tao and Kiki to gain a level but Fire actually managed to get two!
Thinking for a moment, Wang Tao allocated all his points in Intelligence and Wisdom, two in the former and one in the latter respectively.
As they regrouped with the others, Wang Tao managed to find really useful informations about status points from the other survivors.
Strenght - as the name implies, the user gains additional power, muscle strength and endurance.
Agility - it increases the speed of the user, making his whole body react faster, attack faster and the reaction of the person.
Intelligence - the user gains additional spiritual force, allowing him to cast more spells.
Wisdom - the user's ability to focus and accuracy are highly increased
Luck - this stat was still a mystery to the people but some of them believed that the higher your luck is, the better your chances of acquiring rare items was or the chance of an attack to miss a vital spot.
Wang Tao and the others were equally distressed thinking about the status points. Normally, in novels and movies the system would explain everything related to the system, just like a godfinger, a system that supports and explains to the user all the information he could get his hands on.
But they...they haven't even gotten any information!
Still, Wang Tao was happy about his discovery. He has decided to focus on Intelligence and Wisdom so he can cast more spells and in the future, when he finds more Skill Books, he might actually find ones suitable to him, unlike what happened in the past, when he tried to learn the Fireball Skill.
Looking at his and his familiar stats, Wang Tao smacked his lips in satisfaction. They were getting stronger!

"So what do you think about this?" asked Huang Lu coldy, as he looked at the backs of the people fighting the Kobolds
"Sir, it's too risky. If we fight against that creature right now, we are all gonna die." answered one of the subordinates as his body trembled slightly at the thought of that beast
"Come on, Wang Gang. Don't be such a scaredy cat. Boss, i totally support your decision! If that brat refuses to help, hehe...." said the man fawningly as he looked at Huang Lu nod his head in content
'Damn, he's such an asslicker...' complained Wang Gang in his head
Looking at Wang Tao's figure from afar, happily talking with the others, a cold smile appeared on Huang Lu's face. If they could actually lure that beast out and let it fight against the goblins, he, Huang Lu, would gain the greatest benefits from it!
Thud thud thud
The bodies of the last Kobolds fell harshly on the ground before the survivors started scavenging through the corpses of the Kobolds, looking for any valuables.
Clap Clap Clap
The approaching figure of Huang Lu startled the people for a moment as they warily looked at him, holding the metallic cases and other valuables they found tighter.
Seeing this, Huang Lu chuckled for a moment before he waved his hands and said "Everything is yours, my friends! Don't worry, i won't take anything from you, whoever finds it first shall keep it!"
The crowd immediately cheered before rushing through the bodies like a bunch of wild animals scavenging whatever they could find.
'Morons...' thought Huang Lu as he looked at them with contempt
After the people finished their small 'treasure hunt', the people quickly regrouped around Huang Lu, the lucky ones happy with their findings, while the unlucky ones threw angry looks at the others.
"Don't worry my friends, there will be an even bigger chance to get more treasures soon!" loudly said Huang Lu
His words immediately attracted the crowds attention, eyes filled with greed waiting for Huang Lu to continue.
"Wang Tao, my friend, come here!" called Huang Lu, interrupting his conversation with the others
Hearing his name called, Wang Tao had a strange feeling as he walked to Huang Lu's side. Looking at the young man who was called to sit beside Huang Lu, the people had a weird look on their faces but didn't say anything.
"I know that you must be curious why i called you here, but we need your help!" said Huang Lu with a chuckle
"How can i help you?" asked Wang Tao warily, as the strange feeling he felt earlier intensified
"Well, it isn't actually you, but it's that Baby Kikiyaon of yours that we need the help from. I'm sure you have realized it by now, but we can't fight against the goblin army with only so many people. One of my subordinates actually discovered a humongous beast in the north of the city deep in slumber. We need your help to..."
"No!" roared Wang Tao indignantly, interrupting Huang Lu's speech
They wanted to use his Kiki as bait?! There's – no – freaking – way he's gonna allow that!
"No?" asked Huang Lu codly his eyes full of killing intent
Taking a few steps forward towards the crowd, Huang Lu's eyes turning cold instantly, making the hearts of the people beat faster.
"My friends, we have sacrificed so much for this expedition, when we left, we were over three hundred people, now, we are left with a quarter of us! Who hasn't made a sacrifice just so that our families, friends and people that are still hiding underground can survive? Who hasn't fought against those beasts, dying their hands in the blood of our enemies?!" roared Huang Lu at the stunned crowd
His words were like a spark that starts the fire, climbing higher and higher untill it was a burning inferno of rage.
"Who do you think you are?! We should all contribute together so that we can ensure that we succeed and less of our brethern die in this damnable world!" screamed a lady from the crowd
"Yes!!!! We are all in this together, do you care more about that beast than the rest of us?!" another voice could be seen
"Is that beast more valuable to you or humanity? If you refuse to help us, we'll just skin it alive and grill it to satisfy our hunger!"
"Help us, please!"
"..."
"..."
Hearing the crowds screams and roars of anger, greed and different mixed emotions, Wang Tao's heart turned cold.
The crowd quickly parted, leaving Ying Yue, old man Zhang. Fire and Kiki in the middle, as an angry look appeared on their faces.
'These people are so shameless!!!!!!!!' screamed Ying Yue in her heart, her petite body trembling from anger
Old man Zhang was not faring any better than Ying Yue. He was angry yet hopeless at the same time.
Only now, Wang Tao understood Ying Yue's words from that time, when they were leaving the basement. This Huang Lu's a snake...
"What do you say, Wang Tao, will you help us..or..." said Huang Lu calmly as he silently caressed the sword in his hand
Taking a look at Kiki, Wang Tao's heart was in despair. After he contracted Kiki, he could feel a strong bond between them, just like the one he had with Fire, after raising him since he was a small pup! Now, obliged to use Kiki as bait for the sake of others, Wang Tao felt like his heart was bleeding.
It was at that moment as a mental transmission was sent to Wang Tao, his eyes immediately locking on Kiki's calm, yet arrogant eyes.
"Are you sure...?" said Wang Tao in his mind looking at Kiki nod his head.
Turning to look at Huang Lu and the angry crowd, Wang Tao took a deep breath before saying "We will do it." immediately calming the angry mob, a look of satisfaction in their eyes.
"You did a good choice, Wang Tao." said Huang Lu showing his row of white teeth
'If we succeed, i will be even stronger! Then, not only controlling this city, but i will let all the humanity know, that i, Huang Lu, was born to be a ruler!' thought Huang Lu to himself as he looked at the crowd with disdain
'This is just the beginning...'
