Chapter 72: Blue-Haired Man
"Not good, it's on fire!"
"Damn it, what's going on? How could it catch fire?"
Several people stood up, preparing to flee out the door.
But just as they opened the main door.
They saw a fire phoenix burning with flames all over its body.
"Ab... Ability user!"
Chen Hao had summoned a fire phoenix.
Chirp!
The fire phoenix opened its big mouth, and a stream of flames sprayed out.
Instantly burning the people at the door to slag.
"Ding-dong!"
"Congratulations to the host, corpse collection successful!"
"Obtained F-grade ability — [Lightning Rod]!"
"Only one person was an ability user?"
Chen Hao hadn't expected that among the four people inside, only one guy had an ability.
The fire in the small wooden house burned larger and larger.
Before long, the roof collapsed.
Chen Hao just watched the raging fire in front of him quietly.
After everything was burned clean, he turned and left.
He returned to the Ability Bureau.
Lu Fengfeng saw that Chen Hao had returned.
She was a bit surprised.
"So fast?"
"Hmm."
Chen Hao nodded.
"Now there's a new task that needs your help."
"I understand!"
Lu Fengfeng tapped quickly, and before long, she helped Chen Hao find a member of the Scorpion Brigade.
"This guy has a B-grade ability [Fist Enhancement], and his strength is at the eighth stage of the Master-level."
"How about it? Do you have a way to handle it?"
"Eighth stage of the Master-level?"
"Wait for me to cultivate for these two days, break through to the seventh stage of the Master-level, and it should be no problem."
"Hmm."
Lu Fengfeng nodded.
Over the next two days, Chen Hao cultivated with focus.
Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, he successfully broke through to the seventh stage of the Master-level.
Chen Hao subconsciously clenched his fist.
Feeling the power after his strength had improved.
"Awesome!"
Every time his strength improved, Chen Hao felt refreshed and invigorated.
It was even more satisfying than doing happy things!
After doing happy things, you feel exhausted, but this makes you feel spirited, as if you have endless energy.
Chen Hao took out his phone, and according to the address Lu Fengfeng gave him, he planned to go find trouble with that Scorpion Brigade member.
...In a courtyard.
Two guys were sitting opposite each other drinking tea.
Looking at the two people in the courtyard.
Chen Hao frowned.
"What's going on?"
Originally, Chen Hao planned to make a move on the owner of the courtyard.
But he hadn't expected that a guest had come to the other party's house today.
"This guy has an S-grade ability [Lightning Control], and he's at the fourth stage of the General-level!"
Chen Hao looked at the man sitting opposite the bald, burly man.
That guy had blue hair that looked like a hedgehog.
He was savoring the tea the bald, burly man had brewed for him.
"Zheng Yi, your tea is getting better and better."
Hearing the blue-haired man's praise, the bald, burly man scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Oh my, Leader, you flatter me."
"I'm just a rough guy, I just brewed it casually."
The blue-haired man smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"Drinking tea is better than drinking alcohol."
"Yeah, I used to be addicted to alcohol, if it weren't for the Leader making me switch to tea."
"I might still be an alcoholic now."
"Everything I have today is all thanks to the Leader's help."
"In the future, if the Leader has any use for me, just say the word, I will definitely do my best to handle it."
Hearing the bald man's words, the blue-haired man nodded with great satisfaction.
"Having that word from you is enough."
"I plan to go to the Thunder Canyon tomorrow."
"Thunder Canyon, what are you going there for?" the bald, burly man asked curiously.
"It's those disgusting guys, they don't want to go themselves, yet they actually made me run a trip."
"It's just lightning, is it that scary?"
As the blue-haired man said this, he raised his right hand.
At this moment, electric light surged between his fingers.
Countless currents were darting around inside, making a crackling sound.
"Those guys are really something, if they want Thunder Flowers, why don't they just go pick them themselves?"
"They actually have to trouble me!"
When he said this, the blue-haired man was unwilling and reluctant.
Hearing this, the bald, burly man's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Just because he has a lightning ability doesn't mean others do.
The bald, burly man once had the fortune of entering the Thunder Canyon once.
He saw with his own eyes a companion of his get struck by lightning and turn into a pitch-black corpse.
The smell of burnt protein, the bald, burly man still remembers vividly.
"Alright, the tea is about finished."
"I should go."
"Leader, let me see you off."
"No need, you stay here."
Saying this, the blue-haired man left directly.
Watching the blue-haired man's receding back, the bald, burly man looked back at the tea table.
A pained expression appeared on his face.
In his eyes, drinking tea is more wasteful of money than drinking alcohol.
That pot of tea just now cost him tens of thousands.
If he had used it to buy alcohol, he felt he could have drunk for a long time.
The bald, burly man walked to the tea table, and adhering to the principle of not wasting, he picked up the teapot and gulped down the tea inside.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
The bald, burly man smacked his lips.
"I don't understand, what's so good about this tea."
"My mouth is almost bland enough to grow birds."
As he said this, he walked toward the flower bed on the side.
He dug around inside, and before long, he dug out a wine flask.
"Oh my, alcohol is still more fragrant."
He opened the wine flask and took a big gulp.
As the white liquor went down his throat.
"Awesome!"
"I've come back to life!"
Watching the bald, burly man drinking, Chen Hao's eyes narrowed, and a flash of joy crossed his eyes.
"Drink, keep drinking."
In Chen Hao's eyes, that wine was the bald, burly man's final drink.
Soon, he was drunk and fell directly to the ground, passing out.
Chen Hao flipped into the man's courtyard.
Looking at the bald, burly man sleeping like a dead pig, the corners of Chen Hao's mouth slowly curled up.
"Go to hell!"
He condensed a fireball in his right hand and threw it toward the man.
Boom!
The man was instantly surrounded by flames, turning into a human torch.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
He woke up in pain.
Constantly slapping the flames on his body with both hands.
Whoosh!
Chen Hao moved, and a sharp dagger slashed toward the bald, burly man's neck.
Pfft!
Chen Hao's dagger sliced through the bald, burly man's throat.
Hiss hiss hiss!
A large amount of blood gushed out.
He clutched his sliced throat, his eyes staring straight at Chen Hao.
The bald, burly man's eyes were filled with various emotions.
There was anger, hatred, confusion, incomprehension... finally, the gleam in his eyes dissipated, and his body fell straight down.
Thud!
His body fell heavily to the ground.
Chen Hao followed up with two more fireballs, burning the man into ashes.
It might be because he drank too much alcohol.
Chen Hao found that the fire on the man's body burned particularly vigorously.
"Ding-dong!"
"Congratulations to the host, corpse collection successful!"
"Obtained B-grade ability — [Fist Enhancement]!"
"Done!"
