Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1068.2- Collector (2)
The monster’s big head looked weird and took up a third of its body. It had a wolf mouth on both sides of its face that was on the sides of its nose. The crystal showed that it was a level-four mutated lifeform.
This monster was very strong and should be close to level five. Its hooves were powerful and made it very nimble. Two triangular-shaped shells grew from its spine and covered its sides so the humans couldn’t hurt its stomach. Its two mouths were a huge threat. Even the steel cones were broken by it.
That probably injured that guy’s arm.
Its two mouths seemed like the only attack, but its body and head were also its strength. When Ye Zhongming was observing this, another human was hit and sent flying at the pillar. He spat out mouthfuls of blood and held his chest with one hand. His ribs might even be broken.
Ye Zhongming squinted. The four of them weren’t weak and were all four-star evolved. This fellow was also four-star, so why did they find it so tough?
He recalled that Lin Yixun mentioned many scattered people around the mines.
Collectors!
These people weren’t willing to be with others. They were either alone or with a small group to collect stone pearls to trade for food.
Ye Zhongming heard Lin Yixun’s fear of these people. He said that they were firm and twisted. They didn’t fear death and weren’t willing to be ripped off by Black Dog or himself. They would avoid the two factions, and if they met any, they would retreat.
Lin Yixun and Black Dog weren’t willing to clash with them either. The mines were complicated, like a maze. If there was a conflict, it wasn’t easy to use their numbers advantage to kill these people. They could use the environment to cause huge losses. If you failed to capture them, they would even follow you and move like an assassin.
If there were no need, Lin Yixun and Black Dog would act as if they had not seen the Collectors.
Ye Zhongming respected these people when he heard and knew that they were stubborn people. To a certain extent, they were more courageous than Lin Yixun and Black Dog. Lin Yixun even mentioned that the collectors had more information than them. If possible, he could ask them for some information.
After watching for a while, he knew that the four of them would win, but there would be casualties. He thought about it and walked out. He took the dagger that had turned white and made some noise as he got close.
The four of them noticed him. They shouted for each other to pay attention, and their movement slowed.
One of them tangled with the beast, and the other stood between Ye Zhongming and the battlefield.
“Scram, this two-mouthed cow is ours!”
The one who stopped Ye Zhongming was the woman. She held the steel cone and stared viciously at Ye Zhongming. As she hadn’t washed for a long time, he couldn’t make out her face, but she sounded young from the voice.
“Do you need my help?”
Ye Zhongming raised his chin and glanced at the battlefield. The four of them were finding it tough to deal with the monster. Now that two were injured and one came to stop him, the remaining person was in danger and couldn’t last for long.
Ye Zhongming even raised his white dagger.
Their eyes lit up.
Why was it so hard for them to fight a mutated lifeform of the same level? Apart from their lack of vitamins causing their strength to drop, a more important point was their equipment. They didn’t even have a good weapon.
The steel cone was hard, but it was an ordinary piece of metal. It might be useful against mutated lifeforms of levels one and two but not much against level three.
If they had a white weapon, then…
At this time, their desire for the weapon and also the dangerous battle situation tempted them.
“If you hesitate, your guy would die.” Ye Zhongming waved, but he continued to look at that monster.
“Let, let him…”
That person who was knocked aside struggled to speak. He was the leader of the four, and he agreed.
Ye Zhongming charged, but he didn’t show off all his strength. He suppressed his strength to around four stars.
If possible, he didn’t want to reveal his identity here. Moreover, after learning about their personality from Lin Yixun, he knew that it was impossible to force them to say anything. He didn’t want to use that method to get information as he wouldn’t know if they were lying.
Out of ten news stories, nine were real, and one was fake. But it was possible that the fake one would kill.
Ye Zhongming tested the monster’s shell and realized that a four-star evolved wouldn’t be able to break it.
Those people frowned and felt like this person was unreliable and wasted a good weapon.
But they quickly realized the difference. Ye Zhongming started to target the mutated lifeform’s weakness. Very quickly, he dealt more damage and showed them how he sliced the meat open.
The mutated lifeform lasted a few minutes before bleeding to death.
The few of them felt this new person was strong.
When the cow fell, they ignored Ye Zhongming and started to suck the mutated lifeform’s blood. The guy with the broken arm even tried to eat raw meat from the wound Ye Zhongming opened. He ate while looking at Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming waved and was uninterested. He even took a few steps back to make those people relax. They continued to eat.
“Sorry for being a joke.” The guy who spat out blood stood up. His injuries weren’t too heavy.
“You are also… A Collector?”
Ye Zhongming shook his head.
“Then how would you like to split this?”
That person wasn’t surprised. He could tell that Ye Zhongming was a newbie and was more interested in splitting the cow.
“If we give it to you, can you give us your dagger?”
That woman, whose mouth was covered in blood, raised her head and asked.
