บท 26: Army Obliteration
บรรณาธิการ: Dragon Boat Translation
There was a type of weapon that had a terrifying deterrent force in the World of Evolution.
That weapon was the bow and arrow.
In a dense forest outside the giant wooden walls of the Neutral Grounds, two sharp-eyed humans were closely watching the gates.
One of them was holding a recurve bow. This was a man-made weapon that he had brought in from Earth. This person had used this bow to cause many murders. The other person was even more ruthless. He was holding a strange-shaped crossbow. The set of crossbow and bolts that he had was a type of advanced primeval combat equipment. It could shoot twice in a row, and its power within 50 meters was shocking.
These two people were the protectors of the Ghost Head Gang.
There was also a middle-aged man with a dusty face standing beside him. It was Protector Sun.
Other than the three protectors, there were also two sinister-looking men with them in the forest.
The two sinister-looking men had similar appearances, and it was obvious that they were brothers. Their bodies emitted a very uncomfortable cold aura. They were the fourth and fifth elders of the Ghost Head Gang. They were good at combination attacks and held high positions in the Ghost Head Gang.
Protector Sun did not dare to get close to the two elders. He was frightened by their death-like aura. As far as he knew, the fourth and fifth elders used to be notorious grave robbers in China. They did a lot of immoral things and offended too many people. In the end, they had no choice but to escape into the seven-colored light pillar.
The aura that was emanating from the fifth elder, who was holding a black saber, was especially terrifying. The saber he was holding was very strange. It was filled with a terrifying aura that was like the ravaging of the undead as if it wanted to absorb the three souls and seven spirits of humans.
The protector with the recurve bow said, "Elders, waiting like this is not a solution. If that kid sells the weapons of Protector Sun and the eighth mistress, the amount he would receive would be enough for him to live in the village for a month or two. Are we really going to just stand by here and wait for him for two whole months?"
"We will wait for two months if we have to. If we let that kid escape, any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to rob our gang members in the future. Wouldn't the Ghost Head Gang become a joke?" The fifth eldr pulled out his black saber and wiped the blade with a piece of white silk as he spoke coldly.
The three protectors did not say anything else. When it came to the face of the Ghost Head Gang, Boss Ghost and the elders were all ready to kill to keep it the way they wanted.
If they let Niu Dehua go, many would likely get the courage to follow suit in the future. At that time, the Ghost Head Gang's position in the forest would be in danger.
The Ghost Head Gang was clearly trying to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys.
Protector Sun remained silent the entire time, his heart filled with indescribable emotions.
If Niu Dehua sold his wolf mount, he could probably live in the village for a few years.
Of course, Protector Sun did not dare to utter such words.
If Boss Ghost knew that he had given the wolf mount to Zhao Hao in order to survive, he would be the first to die.
Night once again enveloped the land, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.
The weak moonlight had a limited effect, and visibility was very low in the primeval forest that covered the sky.
The difference between a primeval evolver and a rare evolver was further magnified at this moment. The three protectors who had yet to evolve could barely see anything more than ten meters away. Meanwhile, the two elders, who had successfully evolved and unlocked their gene locks, had extraordinary night vision.
The taciturn fourth elder, who liked to keep a deadpan face, suddenly stood up.
His body suddenly twisted, and his bones cracked. Then, an unbelievable scene appeared.
Transform!
Just like the Monkey King in Journey to the West, the fourth elder had turned into a giant gray wolf!
This scene easily reminded people of one of the common classes in fantasy games: Druids.
Looking at the transformed fourth elder, the three protectors could not help but reveal envious expressions.
There were all kinds of strange items that were dropped from hunting wild beasts. One of such strange items was a type of combat equipment that had a transformation effect. The transformed fourth elder had the strength of an intermediate rare beast. His sharp wolf claws could easily break a tree.
The battle had yet to begin, but the fourht elder had already transformed. This clearly showed how careful he was when it came to what he did.
This was precisely the reason why the fourth elder could survive until now. Regardless of whether he was dealing with the weak or the strong, he would always give all his effort.
"Ready your aim!"
The giant gray wolf spoke in human language. Under his instructions, the two archers aimed at a black shadow ten meters away.
Zhao Hao had chosen to leave the Neutral Grounds after dark to avoid the pursuers whose vision would be affected due to the dark of night. Big Black already had very strong night vision, so he placed his bets on Big Black.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sharp sound of air being torn apart came from his left and right. Zhao Hao's saber technique was like lightning as he knocked away the arrow shot by the recurve bow. At the same time, Handsome Back easily jumped and dodged the other arrow.
The attackers in the dark were shocked. Zhao Hao did not run away after dodging the arrows. Instead, he rushed towards their hiding place.
What was the meaning of this?
The two elders and the three protectors of Ghost Head Gang were a little dumbfounded.
Even if Niu Dehua had evolved in the village, he would not be able to stop the two elders. Where did he get the courage to take on the five of them?
The answer was revealed in the next second. Zhao Hao rode on Big Black, like a fierce general charging through thousands of troops. The Savage Blade had become even more powerful under the support of his mount. The blade's body suddenly expanded, and it actually extended. A half-meter-long blade light appeared, forming a full moon slash that engulfed the five members of the Ghost Head Gang at the same time.
This attack carried the power of a thunderbolt, destroying the opponents' guts.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Three screams sounded at the same time, and the heads of the three protectors of the Ghost Head Gang fell to the ground.
"With a 10% chance, that kid actually... His evolution was successful?"
This was Protector Sun's final thought before he died.
The biggest sign of someone being a variant evolver was the release of stellar qi, and rare evolvers also had something to distinguish. They could release their initial strength to form a half-meter-long aura, which was also something like a saber aura or a sword aura.
Everyone thought that Zhao Hao was a rare evolver when they saw the soaring blade light.
However, the truth was different from what they had imagined.
[Evolver: Zhao Hao.]
[Primeval Geno Points: 100]
[Combat Power: 100]
[Lifespan: 62!]
[Evolution Technique: E-grade]
[Combat Skill:
Berserker Blade Technique, C-grade Combat Skill. Current Evolution Energy: 1030/10000.
Active Special Skill 1 [Wild Charge]: Instantly dash in front of the target and deal a fatal blow. The power of the special skill will be increased by combat power. The effect will be doubled if on a high-speed mount. Cooldown time: 60 minutes.
Active Special Skill 2 [Army Obliteration]: When swinging a blade-type weapon, unleash a large-scale life-seizing slasher. The higher your combat power, the stronger the power of the slash. Cooldown: 60 minutes.]
The Berserker Blade Technique had evolved to C-grade, and it had gained a second special skill.
Zhao Hao had relied on his new special skill, Army Obliteration, to succeed in his attack just now!
"Charge out!"
Zhao Hao did not want to continue fighting. He rode on Big Black and broke out of the encirclement.
He thought that it would be stupid of him to try and kill the two elders of the Ghost Head Gang. The fifth elder had blocked his saber at the critical moment and was forced back a few steps, suffering some minor internal injuries. The fourth elder, who had transformed into a giant wolf, was even more ruthless. With his abnormal speed, he actually dodged Zhao Hao's killing move.
Zhao Hao was not stupid enough to fight against such tough opponents.
Zhao Hao was relieved as he rode the Handsome Black for a few hundred meters. Handsome Black's vision was seemingly unaffected by the dark of night, and it ran faster than a rabbit in the dark, no different than it would in the day. He felt incredibly confident in the moment and even thought of looking up at the sky and shouting, "Who can grant me death?" But when Zhao Hao turned around to take a look, he became covered in cold sweat, and his hair stood on end. He was scared out of his wits.
The fifth elder, who was holding a black saber, was riding a huge gray wolf and chasing after them at lightning speed!
