Wolf Mount

Birds of a feather flock together.

Boss Ghost was originally a wanted criminal who had committed many evil crimes. Most of the people who were with him were not good people. When some of these outlaws turned ruthless, they would not even recognize their relatives, pretending to be cowards in order to survive.

Protector Sun died and then came back to life.

Zhao Hao's horizons were broadened.

"If you want to kill me, then kill me. If I frown, you're the one who raised me!"

These were the heroic words that Protector Sun had said before he "died," and he really did sound like an unyielding man.

However, at this moment, he squeezed out a flattering smile that looked incredibly ugly. "Little brother, I was just joking with you. Don't take what I said to heart. I can see that you are a chivalrous person. Eighth Mistress Tai and the baldy both said that you are honest and keep your word. We brothers can have a good talk."

Zhao Hao was amused. "There's a saying. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Why should I believe you?"

"Because of this."

Protector Sun unbound the wolf mount and pushed it over while it floated in the air.

Zhao Hao looked at the egg-sized wolf cub and carefully examined it twice before absorbing it into his body.

"Soul binding successful. Wolf Mount: Advanced primeval mount, never tired, does not have attack power."

A beautiful flower of joy bloomed in his heart and Zhao Hao immediately summoned the wolf mount.

Riding on the wolf's back, he felt as if he was riding on General Zhao.

If it was not for the fact that Wild Charge was still on cooldown, he would have wanted to test out the power of the special skill when he was on a mount.

Looking at "Niu Dehua" who was sitting on the wolf mount and posing, Protector Sun felt his heart bleed.

There was simply nothing he could do but resign himself to fate. He could not even pretend to be dead. He knew very well the consequences of not handing over the wolf mount. Just the thought of being eaten alive by a black dog made his scalp go numb.

"What about the rest."

Zhao Hao held the Savage Blade in his left hand and extended his right hand.

Protector Sun's face scrunched up like a chrysanthemum as he endured the pain and unbound the eyebrow-high cudgel.

"Hand it over!"

Zhao Hao stored the staff. His face then turned dark and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

Protector Sun looked at him innocently. "I only have that advanced primeval weapon left. My armor was broken by you."

"Is that so?" Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes. "You weren't breathing just now, and your heart wasn't beating. Don't tell me that you've mastered the Turtle Breathing Divine Art from those martial arts novels… What you did just now should be the special effect of a piece of combat equipment. Do you need me to count down from ten seconds again?"

"No, don't count anymore. I'll give it to you!"

Protector Sun's face was ashen as he handed over a talisman.

Zhao Hao did not hold back at all and immediately soulbound the item.

"Pseudo-Death Talisman: Upon activation, enter a state of false death. Cooldown time: 7 days. Durability: 3/6."

Hearing the prompt in his head, Zhao Hao could only sigh at the wonder of this world.

The World of Evolution truly was full of wonders.

"Only three points of durability left?" he snorted coldly.

"This thing can only be used six times. I've already used it three times, so…" Protector Sun said with a bitter face.

"Where did you get this?"

Protector Sun replied, "I got it from killing an advanced primeval plant half a year ago. I do not understand why it dropped either."

"You have given me so many things. I would have let you go by now if you had done this earlier. However, you pretended to be dead and lied to me once, so I have to collect some interest. I'll give you ten minutes to tell me something that piques my interest, or else…" Zhao Hao said slowly.

Protector Sun fell under a lot of pressure. He then revealed important information without hesitation, "Little brother, you're taking so much combat equipment because you want to go to the Neutral Grounds to participate in that trade fair, right? I have insider information."

"What's the Neutral Grounds?"

"Little brother, stop joking with me." Protector Sun felt that Niu Dehua was testing him, so he braced himself and said, "The Neutral Grounds is Niu Gege's territory. The three major factions all do business there. Little brother, your name is Niu Dehua, right? If I'm not wrong, you're one of Niu Gege's people, aren't you?"

"And who's Niu Gege?"

Hearing this, Protector Sun felt that Zhao Hao was unfathomable and answered truthfully, "He's the number one expert in the Endless Forest. He once defeated the top ten experts of the Crazy Corps with a single move. In his territory, no one dares to cause any trouble. In the Neutral Grounds, one can exchange items for items. For example, if one has spare defensive equipment, they can choose to exchange it for a weapon of the same level from others. You can also do other kinds of business. If you don't need combat equipment, you can exchange them for evolution crystals."

There's actually such a place?

Zhao Hao's heart shook violently. What he lacked the most right now were evolution crystals.

It would be best if he exchanged the cudgel he got from Protector Sun with crystals.

"What's the inside information you're talking about?" Zhao Hao asked after calming himself down.

Protector Sun: "Boss Ghost is preparing to make a deal with the Crazy Corps. The location will be the Neutral Grounds."

"What's the deal?" Zhao Hao asked.

Guardian Sun said, "Boss Ghost has a part of a set that Goodlad has been looking for for a long time. Goodlad also has something that Boss Ghost wants. This is a huge transaction, but I'm not sure what the sets or items are."

"They could have just traded for the items directly," said Zhao Hao. "Why would they choose to do so in the Neutral Grounds?"

Protector Sun said, "Little brother, it's not as simple as you say. Boss Ghost and Goodlad do not trust each other. They are both afraid that the other party will backstab them. Only in the Neutral Grounds, with an expert like Niu Gege to oversee the transaction, would they dare to trade with ease."

Zhao Hao gathered the information and asked, "I have a question. Why can't people with combat power above 70 refine rare crystals?"

"You don't even know this?" Protector Sun was shocked. He was no longer sure if Zhao Hao was truly a rookie or if he was just playing tricks with him.

"I'm the one who asking questions here," Zhao Hao said with a murderous gaze. "You do not have the right to ask me anything."

"Yes, yes, yes. It is my mistake for talking too much." Protector Sun quickly smiled apologetically and explained to him, "In order to refine rare crystals, you first need to evolve once. Once a person's primeval geno points reach the maximum of 100 points, they can then refine rare geno points after evolving. By the same logic, once a person has maxed out their rare geno points, they can evolve a second time and start absorbing variant geno points."

"How many people in your Ghost Head Gang have evolved twice?" Zhao Hao's expression changed.

"Only the Boss Ghost," replied Guardian Sun.

Zhao Hao asked, "How many people have begun absorbing rare geno points?"

Protector Sun answered, "Among the ten elders, nine of them have reached that level. The tenth elder was only promoted to his position because he has a D-grade combat skill. The strongest, the First Elder, has close to 300 combat strength."

Zhao Hao asked, "How is combat power calculated?"

"One primeval geno point is equivalent to one point of combat power," said Protector Sun. "One rare geno point is equivalent to two points of combat power. One variant geno point is equivalent to three points of combat power. Boss Ghost has already maxed out his primeval and rare geno points. This means that he has over 300 points of combat power. He had already gone to the Neutral Grounds to exchange for a few variant evolution crystals in the past. After refining them, he has become way stronger. However, his combat power should still be somewhere between 300 and 400 points."

Zhao Hao had gained more knowledge. This interrogation had given him much more information much faster than if he were to have fumbled around blindly by himself.

He calculated in his heart. At present, he could not defeat the elders of Ghost Head Gang.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Hao said, "Take me somewhere."

"Where?" Protector Sun's expression changed drastically.

"Take me to the Neutral Grounds." Zhao Hao smiled mysteriously. "You can try playing tricks and lure me into the Ghost Head Gang's headquarters. However, hehe, this wolf of yours is quite useful. It won't be a problem for me to kill you before I'm surrounded."
