102: You have no brothers now.
Hu Haoqiang found it hard to breathe in the eerie atmosphere. He slowly looked up at the young man in front of him.
This was a boy who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen, currently toying with a long saber in his hand with a playful expression.
Seeing Hu Haoqiang look up, he raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Did I tell you to look up? Do you want to die?"
Hu Haoqiang quickly lowered his head and pleaded, "Boss Luo, I've given you everything and told you the information. Can you spare my dog life..."
Hu Haoqiang, who was almost thirty, was so obsequious, calling someone much younger than him "Boss Luo," which was quite strange.
However, what he received was not forgiveness from the other party, but a cold, murderous female voice:
"Is 'Boss Luo' a name you are allowed to call?"
The moment the voice fell, a black crossbow bolt suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Hu Haoqiang.
Hu Haoqiang instinctively wanted to run away, but remembering the fate of his former subordinates, he forced himself to hold back.
He immediately kowtowed furiously to the short Boss Luo, but dared not utter another word.
It seemed the commotion was a bit noisy, and Boss Luo slowly spoke:
"Alright, get ready to take us to that place to have a look.
If the gate of calamity is really as miraculous as you say, I won't kill you."
After he finished speaking, two people walked out from behind Boss Luo and propped Hu Haoqiang up.
One person pushed him, signaling him to lead the way.
Hu Haoqiang, forcing himself to move his numb legs, walked directly outside.
The young man's power left him with no thought of resistance, let alone his equally incredibly powerful subordinates.
Hu Haoqiang was filled with regret; he felt he shouldn't have come here for that long saber.
After being driven out of the square, he unhappily hid nearby, finally waiting for the previous team to emerge.
There were also a few hangers-on behind that team, but upon seeing Hu Haoqiang, they wisely chose to leave.
However, that team of Professionals did not want to hand over the item, and after a brief confrontation, the team fled directly with the long saber.
Hu Haoqiang immediately led his subordinates in pursuit, as there were not many gates of calamity left in this area, so the danger was not very great.
He was determined to get that Black Iron-grade weapon!
But as they pursued, this team ran into An City's Qiaoxi District.
On the first floor of this bathhouse, Hu Haoqiang and his men cornered that team of Professionals.
After a battle, they killed their opponents and finally obtained the Black Iron-grade long saber.
However, when he tried to leave, he encountered this short young man.
And a team of Professionals behind him.
At that time, the young man, known as Boss Luo, simply said:
"You've dirtied my living place. How do you want to die?"
Before Hu Haoqiang could react, his subordinates were surrounded by Boss Luo's men.
Without any chance to resist, they didn't even have time to react before gradually turning into corpses.
If Hu Haoqiang hadn't reacted quickly enough, directly offering the newly acquired Black Iron-grade equipment and explaining the whole story of how he got there, he might have been killed directly too.
Suddenly, Hu Haoqiang saw his last subordinate still lying on the ground with his eyes open.
The man opened his mouth, sweating profusely from pain, but could only look at him with pleading eyes.
Hu Haoqiang swallowed, and cautiously said to a person nearby:
"Um... I still have a brother over there..."
Hearing Hu Haoqiang's words, that person turned and saw the Professional on the ground, and said thoughtfully:
"I almost forgot, thankfully you reminded me."
Then, under Hu Haoqiang's somewhat joyful gaze, he walked directly towards the Professional with the severed arm.
He patted the other person's face, sighing helplessly:
"Boss Luo finally found us such a good place, and you guys made it look like a slaughterhouse..."
The Professional with the severed arm quickly apologized, almost kowtowing in remorse:
"I'm sorry, I'll never do it again, I know I was wrong."
"Hmm, be more careful in your next life."
After saying that, his hand rested on the other person's head.
With a bang, red and white matter splattered, but not a single drop landed on this person.
It was as if there was an invisible film, blocking all the filth.
This person stood up, returned to Hu Haoqiang's side, and urged:
"Let's go, you don't have any brothers now."
Hu Haoqiang's face instantly turned ashen, but he could only nod blankly.
But he dared not resist, nor even show the slightest dissatisfaction, only leading the way like a puppet.
He used to think he was ruthless enough, but compared to this group, he was still far too lacking.
This was simply a group of lunatics, a group of madmen who killed without batting an eye!
... In the square, Gu Qinghan couldn't help but feel a little sleepy watching Zhao Mengling and her group cooperate to kill monsters.
Their method of killing monsters was very cautious; they would dodge whenever possible.
There was no other way; after all, the monsters' levels were higher than theirs, and they weren't like Gu Qinghan's Skeletons, who could recover from injuries quickly.
Even with healing Professionals, they needed mana to cast skills, and they couldn't waste it casually.
Gu Qinghan glanced at Chen Yuting, who was holding a black necklace beside him, and couldn't help but feel a little speechless:
"This thing isn't even good-looking, and you've been staring at it for ages."
Chen Yuting snorted, then happily equipped the black necklace.
This was a Black Iron-grade equipment Gu Qinghan had just obtained:
[mana Necklace (Black Iron): Level 12]
[Special Effect: When taking damage, five times the mana is deducted to negate the damage. Cooldown: 1 minute.]
This was a life-saving equipment that could protect Chen Yuting very well.
At least, it could give Chen Yuting a chance to react when facing a sneak attack.
As for Gu Qinghan himself, he had already established a link with the Bear King, and also had a 90% damage sharing effect.
It could be said that it was currently difficult for Gu Qinghan to even die.
Moreover, Gu Qinghan had now leveled up to 15, and the Bear King could already be summoned.
The newly lit soul fire was still an enhancement effect, reducing the cooldown of Bone Spear Technique by two seconds.
Now, Bone Spear Technique only needed an 8-second cooldown.
He was somewhat looking forward to the gate of calamity spawning some powerful monsters, preferably ones that could drop good items again.
A few more minutes passed, and the battle there finally ended.
Under the silver-white moonlight, the group quickly picked up the two pieces of equipment that had dropped, but put them away without much interest.
Clearly, these equipments were not very good.
Although there was no electricity now, the moonlight every night provided decent illumination, which was a small convenience for humanity.
Gu Qinghan had his Skeletons guard the door, quietly waiting for the next wave of monster information to appear.
Slowly, a few lines of information appeared, which made Zhao Mengling and the other two's expressions suddenly change:
Level 15 Monster Count: 30
Level 15 Elite Monster Count: 3
Level 18 Bronze Monster Count: 1
The countdown was only a little over ten minutes; soon, these new monsters would arrive.
However, this brief piece of information froze the previously harmonious atmosphere on the scene.
