Chapter 80: Goal: Ghost Metal
Naturally, Ye Zhongming didn’t go mad.
He only wanted more.
From the beginning, apart from wanting the Monster Baby’s treasures, he had his own thoughts toward this Chain Prisoner.
With his current strength, he couldn’t kill this level-four monster.
Not to mention kill, he couldn’t even badly injure it.
But he just wanted some things. Compared to the Monster Baby, he cared more about what he could get from it.
One could tell from the fact that he didn't fight for any treasures.
Under such a context, he attacked!
High risk high reward, he was going all out.
That shot wasn’t aimed at its body, but… The chains of Ghost Metal around it!
The metal was really expensive and some would flow out to the world. But they were all sold in grams and each was really expensive.
Ye Zhongming didn’t know what it was used for. He wasn’t a top expert and couldn’t get classified documents. He wasn’t a key job like a Smith so he didn’t come into contact with such precious materials.
But rumors said that if you added in a bit of ghost metal when crafting, it would greatly increase the quality of the weapon. It would even get magical abilities.
Naturally, Ye Zhongming didn’t know the truth about those rumors but there would be a reason such things were spread. Ye Zhongming just needed to know why the metal was precious. As for the exact use, he could slowly study them after getting them.
The bullet hit the chains and gave out a resounding sound. Sparks flew and the target shook. Ye Zhongming saw that there wasn’t much of an effect and it only left a small mark.
Many people didn’t understand why he was doing that. They thought he wanted to attack it just that he missed.
But what Ye Zhongming did next made him realise that his goal was these black chains.
Peng peng peng!
Ye Zhongming used all the bullets in his gun. Each one hit the same spot. At such a distance, even if he wasn’t a marksman, relying on his past experience, he would definitely not miss.
Small cracks finally appeared where the chains were connected.
It was an extremely small crack but a breach didn’t appear yet. If not for his good eyesight, he might not have noticed it.
Not only were the people below shocked, but even the Chain Prisoner was confused and didn’t know what the ant was doing.
“What are you doing? Snatch!”
Captain Ye who was forced out by the trio was stunned by Ye Zhongming’s actions. But when he saw that Chief Liu’s men used the chance to climb the ruins and were holding up their guns, Captain Ye shouted. His gun fired first.
Chief Liu cursed but his body dodged to the side.
Chief Liu wasn’t on the ruins so he wasn’t shocked by Ye Zhongming’s actions. Although he ordered them to fire but apart from Xia Lei’s miss, the others didn’t overcome their mental barrier to fire at humans.
Thus, he changed the method. He ordered a portion of his men to follow him close to the ruins. After which, he told them to raise their guns.
He didn’t tell them to fire, just to be wary. He was waiting for a chain reaction.
Captain Ye was the first to react and was the first to fire. Facing an attack, Chief Liu’s men instinctively fought back.
Gunshots could be heard!
Bullets covered the entire ruins.
Most of them on it were evolved so their reactions were quick and they found a cover. As for the treasures that fell on the ground, no one had time to bother.
The bullets caused smoke to billow and one’s vision to be obscured. Everyone was firing blind and whether or not one hit depended on luck.
Chief Liu hid behind cover and had a cunning smile on his face. His goal was reached and his men were shooting. Now what he had to do was to wait for a chance to pick up those treasures.
Many people had the same thought. Wang Ding and Captain Ye met up and observed the battlefield. Theyw ere looking for a chance.
Mo Ye and the others backed off to where they came from. They got three treasures and if they could get one more, that would be fantastic.
The trio hit at a side. They didn’t have guns so they could only wait. To them, the longer the delay the better. That would reduce their injuries too.
Smoke covered the ruins and also those who were fighting for the treasure. But on the ruins, Ye Zhongming and the Chain Prisoner’s battle was heating up.
It got annoyed by Ye Zhongming’s harassment. It smashed the blood trunk down and that giant area was like a mountain that pressed down.
Ye Zhongming rolled to dodge it. As he only had one usable hand, he didn’t care about the new gun and just tossed it to the side. He picked up Moon Edge and ran below the Chain Prisoner. He jumped onto its huge leg and started to climb. He slashed right on the ghost metal.
This metal was the lowest point of all its chains and it was 4-5 meters above the ground. Standing on its huge feet, this was the max that Ye Zhongming could hit.
After slicing down, he landed on the ground and rolled to avoid its feet. He raised his head. Moon Edge was much more useful than bullets. Although he didn’t break it, it left a fresh mark.
But that wasn’t enough. Ye Zhongming took out a rope. It was the one he got from the gachapon in the supermarket. He tied it on a huge stone and after making rounds around his arm, he tossed it onto the chain.
He tested the feeling and he started to run. He then used the strength of the rope and the speed from the movement of the Chain Prisoner to swing upwards.
He was mid air and found a chance to grab the chains.
Ye Zhongming had climbed onto the metal chains that wrapped around this level four monster.
