Chương 14: Ghost Head Gang
Biên tập viên: Dragon Boat Translation
"Soul binding successful. Black Panther Leather Armor: Intermediate primeval combat equipment, able to withstand a full-powered attack from an intermediate primeval creature. Has a certain degree of defense against advanced primeval creatures. Durability: 18/30. This leather armor cannot protect the head. Please use it with caution."
"Soul binding successful, Windspeed Boots: Beginner primeval combat equipment. Improves movement speed and jumping ability by 10%. Durability: 15/20."
With two thoughts, Zhao Hao transformed.
The Black Panther Leather Armor and the Windspeed Boots automatically covered his sportswear.
At this moment, he was wearing black leather armor, black boots, and holding a black blade. He was like a demonic messenger who walked out of the dark night, giving off a cold and domineering feeling.
Just this appearance alone made him look like a legendary expert.
What was even more amazing was that this kind of armor did not need to be washed. When it was returned into the body while being dirty, all the dirt would be expelled from it. As long as the durability was not exhausted, Zhao Hao could keep wearing them.
A man would not be rich without windfall, and a horse would not be fat without plentiful grass.
This old saying was fully verified by Zhao Hao.
The ups and downs of life often came very suddenly, and the party who was robbed became the beneficiary instead.
Zhao Hao's belief in finding his fellow humans to discuss and interact with was shattered at this moment.
He even thought that the cold young man's solitary style might not be a bad thing to take up as well.
"Big daddy, no, grandpa, ancestor, can I go now?"
The more the bald man looked at Zhao Hao, the more panicked he became, and he abandoned all his dignity.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry to leave. Follow me."
Zhao Hao walked a few dozen meters away and looked at the gorgeous woman who was beaten to death by Handsome Black.
Then, he looked at the two trembling, burly men and said in a deep voice, "I'll ask you a few questions. I'll also ask that woman some questions later. Those who speak the truth can leave alive. Those who lie have no need to live in this world any longer."
The bald man's expression changed drastically. This was an isolated interrogation. The young man in front of him did not look like a rookie to him any longer.
The gorgeous woman could not hear their conversation from such a distance. If their confessions were inconsistent with that of the gorgeous woman, one of them would definitely be in big trouble.
In fact, this was something Zhao Hao had seen in gangster movies. This was his first time testing something like this out himself.
In order to survive, the bald man threw caution to the wind. "Just ask, I'll tell you everything I know!"
"How long have you been in the evolutionary world?" asked Zhao Hao.
"One year."
"It's been a year, and you're still so weak?""
These words dealt a critical blow to the bald man. He said with a pained expression, "Ancestor, I'm not as good as you. I've killed more than a hundred primeval creatures, but I've never obtained a combat skill. Also, most of the things I obtain have to be handed over in exchange for food and protection."
"Who is protecting you?"
"Boss Ghost."
"Who's Boss Ghost?"
"He used to be a wanted criminal, codenamed Evil Ghost. I'm not sure if you've heard of him.""
"The criminal who committed crimes in Zhonghai, Hujian, Funan, and Fubei provinces but was never caught by the police?" Zhao Hao was secretly shocked. There were not many people in China who did not know about the notorious reputation of that wanted criminal.
The bald man said, "Yes, he was pursued by the police and was the first to charge into the seven-colored light pillar."
Zhao Hao asked, "What's your Boss Ghost's current level? What combat skills and equipment does he have?"
"Boss Ghost's combat power is a mystery. We privately guessed that his combat power is at least 300 points. His combat equipment is also very impressive," said the bald man. "He has a set of rare defensive equipment and a variant weapon."
"Wait a minute." Zhao Hao became dizzy from the new information he just received. He took a deep breath and asked, "Rare defensive equipment and a variant weapon?"
The bald man looked at him strangely and explained, "According to the information we shared internally, the creatures in the World of Evolution are divided into three stages: primeval, rare, and variant. Each of those is further divided into three grades: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Boss Ghost's rare defensive equipment is very powerful. Ordinary people cannot break through his defense at all. His variant weapon is even more frightening. I'm not trying to scare you, but even a hundred people who were of my level would not be his match."
Zhao Hao felt like he was sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
He thought that primeval creatures were already very powerful, but he did not expect that there would be even higher levels.
The three antelopes that intimidated the black wild boar by the spring pool should be rare creatures.
And that white deer was most likely an advanced variant creature!
According to this calculation, Boss Ghost probably has about half the strength of half the white deer. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Zhao Hao asked, "What are Boss Ghost's combat skills?"
The bald man said with lingering fear, "As far as I know, he has two combat skills. One is a D-grade Ghost Steps. When he uses it and runs, his figure moves as quickly as that of a ghost. He also has set of blade techniques. I don't know its name or level, but it's very strong. Some people guess that it's a C-grade combat skill!"
"C-grade?"
Zhao Hao was under immense pressure.
"I don't know. I've never been to the headquarters." The bald man smiled bitterly.
"You have a headquarters?" Zhao Hao was shocked.
The bald man replied, "Boss Ghost has occupied a good piece of land in this endless forest. The headquarters has raised a group of experts. Those people have at least E-grade combat skills. I can't compare to them. In these three months, Boss Ghost has not even been coming out personally. Regardless, we are required to give the crystals and combat equipment we get to the messengers he sends. The headquarters operates a 30-70 split with us. I have to hand over 70% of the crystals I obtain to them. If not for that, my combat power would not only be at the 48 points it is right now."
"You've never thought of leaving and working on your own?"
"Who does not want freedom? I did something wrong back then and was forced to escape into the seven-colored light pillar. At my level, if I had not followed Boss Ghost, I wouldn't have even been able to survive for a few days. While having to give away 70% of what I gain does make my heart bleed, if I don't hand it over, I'll die. What can I do?" The bald man had a helpless look on his face. This was true helplessness, and he was not faking at all.
"Since there's a headquarters, are there branches?"
"Yes, I'm from the eighth branch."
"How many people are there in your eighth branch?"
"Twenty."
"Why have I not seen any of you guys before?"
"Ancestor, there's a spring nearby! Even variant creatures come here to drink water sometimes. Usually, we don't even dare to get within 5 kilometers of the spring. Today, the water storage at our branch has run out, so we came to get some water. When we did so, we coincidentally met you."
"Who's your branch leader?"
The bald man hesitated, his gaze somewhat erratic.
"That woman who tried to stab me is your superior, right? You hid it very well. It looked like she was listening to your orders, but in fact, you were just following her orders." Zhao Hao laughed coldly. He waved the black saber in his hand and said indifferently, "I don't have much patience. You have one last chance."
"I'll speak! Ancestor, I'll speak!" The bald man was not just afraid of death. He then said a shocking piece of news, "Our branch leader's nickname is Tiger. No one knows his real name, but he knows an E-grade combat skill, the Fierce Tiger Fist Technique. The woman who tried to stab you was sent by the headquarters to settle accounts. She... She, she, she… She also has another identity. She's the Eighth Mistress of Boss Ghost!"
