Chương 17: Skyrocketing Strength
Biên tập viên: Dragon Boat Translation
"Protector Sun, find him for me! You must find that little bastard!"
Under the light of the setting sun, the eighth mistress, who had been woken up, screamed crazily with a twisted face.
The Ghost Head Gang followed the operating model of the awesome gangs in martial arts novels. Below the gang leader were the positions of elders, protectors, and branch leaders. The middle-aged Protector Sun was quite a strong person. His combat power was around 100, and he had learned an E-grade combat skill. He also had advanced primeval offensive and defensive equipment.
Protector Sun said cautiously, "Eighth mistress, it's getting dark. This area is very dangerous. In my opinion, it would be better to return to the branch first. It would be more appropriate to gather 20 men to hunt down that person once Branch Leader Tiger returns from hunting."
"I don't care. You have to catch that little bastard. I want to cut his flesh off bit by bit!" The eighth mistress had gone hysterical. She had been way too spoiled over the past two months that she no longer even placed elders and protectors in her eyes.
B*tch!
Protector Sun cursed in his heart. In actuality, this woman basically had no ability. The only thing that she really had going for herself was her ability to spread her legs. The elders and protectors of the Ghost Head Gang did not have a good impression of such mistresses. But there was nothing they could do. Boss Ghost was practically the local emperor of the area, and the mistresses were equivalent to members of his harem.
Suppressing his anger, Protector Sun said, "Eighth mistress, this place is very close to the spring. There are variant creatures there. It's not that I don't want to catch that kid, but I really do not have the ability to do so confidently. Let alone variant creatures, it would be difficult for me to protect you if we were to encounter a rare creature."
"Trash!"
The eighth mistress was so angry that she cursed out loud. She also knew that she could not afford to offend rare creatures.
As night fell, the group of people returned to eighth branch with their faces covered in dust.
Some people were happy while others were sad.
On the other side of the forest, Zhao Hao was overjoyed.
Holding the evolutionary crystals in his hand, he could sense their levels. Among the 28 crystals, there were 18 beginner primeval crystals, 5 intermediate primeval crystals, 4 advanced primeval crystals, and 1 beginner rare crystal!
Zhao Hao found a relatively well-hidden spot and instructed Handsome Black to keep an eye out for him as he began refining the crystals.
Now that he had offended a behemoth like the Ghost Head Gang, his top priority was to quickly increase his combat power. He began refining the higher-level primeval crystals first. The 4 advanced primeval crystals gave him 12 primeval geno points, while the 5 intermediate primeval crystals gave him 10 primeval points. Adding the 18 beginner primeval crystals on top, he had gained over 30 primeval geno points just this session alone.
After six days of continuous refinement, his combat power reached 70 points!
The speed at which his strength was increasing was as if he were riding a rocket.
It appeared that half a month of hard work was not as good as a robbery.
"That windfall was really awesome. I really want another."
Zhao Hao had tasted the sweetness of plundering and wished he could meet a few more people "willing" to provide him with more money.
Holding the only rare crystal, Zhao Hao fell into deep thought.
"My evolution level is not high enough. I can't refine it."
Every time he tried to refine the rare crystal, he would receive a thought telling him that he was unable to do so.
He did not understand what the so-called evolution level was, and the bald man had never revealed this information.
"That baldy said that 100 points is the maximum for the primeval geno points. Could it be that my primeval geno point count must reach 100 before I can absorb rare geno points?"
Zhao Hao guessed this to be the case, but he would still need to figure it out himself in the future.
"Wuu."
Handsome Black acted cute again, staring straight at the rare crystal.
"What a coincidence. Could it be that this crystal is a rare item of some canine?"
Zhao Hao's heart skipped a beat as he handed the rare crystal to Handsome Black.
Big Black swallowed it in one gulp, but it did not fall asleep, nor did it emit the powerful aura after evolution. Zhao Hao was confused. He did not understand what was going on.
Suddenly, Handsome Black's hair stood on end, and its front leg lightly touched Zhao Hao.
After taking the rare crystal, Big Black's intelligence seemed to have improved. It did not let out a low growl to alert him of the presence of an enemy.
What it meant with its actions was that there was an unknown creature approaching.
The man and the dog immediately found a spot to hide and waited for the uninvited guest to appear.
Footsteps sounded from afar, and the sound got closer and closer.
Gradually, they heard a conversation.
"Protector Sun, I'm puzzled. Why should we work ourselves to death for the trouble that woman caused? F*ck, who does that b*tch think she is? She's just a newbie, yet she's always bossing us around. She lost more than 20 crystals, and the responsibility is on her. But not only did Boss Ghost not punish her, but he also told us to find that kid within half a month. What kind of f*cking logic is this?"
A burly man in his thirties was cursing. He was the leader of Ghost Head Gang's eighth branch, Tiger.
Protector Sun said, "You don't understand Boss Ghost's character. He doesn't care about the eighth mistress, but the Healing Bracelet. That thing can even reattach a broken arm. It's a life-saving divine artifact. The boss must really value it. The eighth mistress loves to play tricks. Since she hid such a valuable piece of equipment from Boss Ghost for so long, I doubt she will have a good life in the future."
"This place is too dangerous. This is the last place I would willingly go to. I doubt you know, but half a year ago, when I first came here, I encountered a variant beast. The beast's glare scared me so much that my legs went weak. I had to make use of everything I had to escape." Tiger said with lingering fear.
"According to Baldy and the others, that kid called Niu Dehua's combat power should be less than 100. Since you and I are both afraid of this place, that Niu Dehua should also be afraid. He can't be hiding near the spring. However, Boss Ghost only gave us half a month. If we can't complete this mission, you can probably already guess what will happen to us." Protector Sun sighed.
"It's too difficult to capture a person alive in such a large forest. What was Boss Ghost thinking? Wasn't he afraid that the kid was a tough guy? What if Niu Dehua committed suicide?" Tiger said with resentment.
"As long as we bring him back to the headquarters, even if that kid is made of iron, he will definitely buckle. Elder Zhu studied torture tools in the past and he has created hundreds of different torture methods. No one has ever withstood more than ten of Elder Zhu's torture methods. At that time, that kid would definitely vomit out all his combat equipment." Protector Sun had absolute confidence in Elder Zhu.
"But… Ah!"
Tiger still wanted to speak, but he suddenly let out a shrill scream.
A blade light came from behind him and pierced through the branch leader's heart.
Wild Charge!
Zhao Hao's first move was a killing move. When he heard that the other party had prepared a hundred tortures, his killing intent was aroused.
Going against a branch leader and a protector in a head-on battle would be extremely difficult. As such, he had to get rid of one first.
He already had weapons, armor, and boots. What he lacked the most right now were evolution crystals. Therefore, he did not have the time nor care to capture the enemy alive and slowly seize their combat equipment. He attacked immediately and then rushed towards Protector Sun.
At this moment, Protector Sun, who was holding a staff, had engaged in fierce combat with Handsome Black.
His staff technique was quite powerful, and he waved it powerfully. Big Black could not gain an advantage quickly.
Zhao Hao joined the battle, and Berserker Blade Technique created what was seemingly a storm of blades.
Their two weapons collided many times, producing ear-piercing sounds of metal clashing. Even though they were both using advanced primeval weapons, neither Zhao Hao's Savage Blade nor Protector Sun's staff showed any signs of damage.
As they fought, Zhao Hao's mood became strange.
