Chapter 23: Shamate, Ma Jieke II

Although Awakened are powerful, they currently still cannot withstand bullets and sharp knives.

Because of this factor, these thugs were not very afraid of these students they usually looked down upon, but for the sake of insurance, they still found someone who was also an Awakened to hold down the fort.

Thugs also know how to boost morale.

The negotiation lasted about an hour, and most of the time it was that Shamate clamoring about something; the voice was sharp yet hoarse, extremely distinctive, and very easy to leave an impression.

Just when many people were feeling impatient, the scene finally changed.

I don't know what they were talking about, but the Shamate standing at the very front suddenly roared: "In society, I am Ma Ge, a man who is ruthless and speaks little. The last condition: recharge every brother with a Yellow Diamond and membership for one month! From now on, we go our separate ways. Yes or no, say it!"

Zhang Wei almost spat: Damn it... I've been listening to you chatter for over half an hour, and you say you don't speak much?

The watching students also felt a bit pained: What happened to the promised brawl?? Can you stop yapping endlessly? F***, hurry up and fight!!

The thugs behind the Shamate also felt bad: Are you kidding me? Who the hell cares about Yellow Diamonds and memberships? We didn't come here in the middle of the night to drink the northwest wind for this, okay?

This Shamate said smugly: "Brothers, how is this benefit I fought for you? One month of Yellow Diamond, a lifetime of confidence! One month of membership, a lifetime of prestige!"

The thugs were blank-faced, looking at each other: What kind of person did we pool money to hire? Who the hell found this guy? Hurry up and stand out so I can slash you twice, okay?

On the Yi Zhong side, the seven Awakened who harbored the great sentiment of protecting the school and the people also felt chaotic. They had originally expected that under the oppression of evil forces, they would rise up, heroically resist, and never yield, finally defeating this gang of blood-sucking villains after a bloody battle, thereby leaving behind an immortal story and a reputation passed down through generations in the history of Yi Zhong.

But... where is the promised opponent? Who the hell replaced them with a clown?? Is it interesting to arrange a fight with such a contestant?? It will be laughed at by netizens if it gets out!!

Everyone in the arena fell into a state of speechlessness, only that Shamate was smug, enjoying the gazes of everyone.

"This feeling is even better than recharging a year of membership." Ma Jieke was completely intoxicated.

The Shamate also has a name—he is he, a different Ma Jieke.

Whoosh...

A mountain breeze brushed through the summer night, and everyone suddenly felt a chill, but they smelled a strange odor.

"Wow, what is that smell?"

"So stinky, who farted?"

"According to my many years of experience, this is definitely not the smell of a fart..."

"It's a bit like the smell of a zoo!"

Just as everyone was complaining, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the mountain forest not far away, looking very burly, and a muffled sound came with every step it took.

This black shadow soon walked out of the forest and revealed its true form under the afterglow of the neon lights. The appearance of this person shocked everyone in the arena!

Nearly 2 meters tall, iron-blue skin, bulging muscles, a layer of faint black hair covering the body, dark red eyes, and exposed fangs—these appearances all confirmed that this was an ape...

A mutated ape!

Everyone stared blankly at this uninvited guest who arrived abruptly, almost losing the ability to react, with only a layer of fear and disbelief instinctively rising from the bottom of their hearts.

What on earth is wrong with this world?

No matter how many photos of mutated creatures one sees on the internet, it is not as shocking as witnessing it with one's own eyes at this moment!

Although the world's largest gorilla is nearly two meters tall, there is no such species in Rongcheng at all, not to mention that this thing walks with such vigor; its posture is almost human.

The courage of teenagers is ultimately strong.

Seeing this large ape walk directly into the arena without looking at the surroundings, those students who had already slipped away couldn't help but return when they saw there was no danger, observing from a distance.

This thing seems to have human nature; perhaps this is a rare opportunity for close-up observation.

The students who reacted quickly took out their mobile phones and aimed them at this large ape, full of anticipation for the excitement to follow.

The people in the arena facing this mutated ape directly were under even greater pressure. Watching this thing stride over, many students and thugs began to have weak legs, and even the Awakened group of seven was no exception.

Without having shed blood, possessing only power—it is mostly like this.

"To fight... or not to fight..."

"Stop yapping! I'll come..."

"Fight!"

The ape made an indistinct speaking sound, but the general meaning was still understandable. Compared to human Awakening, the situation of this exotic beast speaking human language made everyone even more shocked!

Beasts can speak human language now; isn't this a monster? This is the rhythm of evolving into a mythical world!

But as the last word "fight" fell, this large ape stepped with both feet, its entire body leaped up violently, and its seemingly clumsy figure turned into a fierce hurricane and rushed toward the nearest person.

The thug who bore the brunt was almost scared to the point of peeing, his legs went limp on the ground, and he looked at the huge fist getting closer and closer in despair.

"Brothers are like limbs; dare to touch my limbs, and I will beat you into a lifetime of sorrow!"

Unexpectedly, the Shamate Ma Jieke quickly met it, chattering away while taking the smashing fist without hesitation, and his whole person retreated four steps with a thud-thud-thud.

Eh? It doesn't seem very strong?

The Yi Zhong student representatives who were preparing to slip away saw this scene and immediately stopped their steps; after all, no one wanted to end up in such a grand scene with a tail-between-the-legs retreat.

The demon monkey was powerful and heavy. After Qin Anyang suffered a loss, he no longer fought hard. Relying on his flexible figure, he danced the watermelon knife in his hand with cold light, and for a time, they were evenly matched.

At this moment, this Shamate was still chattering endlessly, leaving the group of seven at a closer distance speechless.

"Damn... were you raised on hormones? Don't mess up my hairstyle; I spent 40 yuan at Yidao to get it done!"

"Why are you so ugly? Your fur is all messy... I'll introduce you to a hair salon to blow-dry your hair before coming back. Their prices are cheap and their technique is good."

"... F***, don't hit my face! I'm going to stay overnight at an internet cafe tonight; how do you expect me to open a video chat?"

Hearing this guy chatter endlessly, Zhang Wei, who was not far away, found it funny while also feeling a bit envious... If this guy could also absorb Resentment, with hundreds of people at this scene, he could probably get tens of thousands in this wave, right?

Hmm... should I take the opportunity to absorb a wave?

Seemingly impatient with the other party's nagging, the ape bared its fangs and let out a muffled roar. This strange sound with great penetration made the onlookers nearby feel obviously uncomfortable, and Ma Jieke, who was bearing the brunt, was clearly stunned, falling to the ground on his butt.

"Go!"

The group of seven from Yi Zhong who were silently watching from the side exchanged glances and finally made their move!

No matter how much they didn't get along with these thugs usually, they were all humans after all, and it was hard to watch him be killed by an exotic beast.

Moreover, the monkey's intention was very clear; it would definitely fight them next, so it was better to strike first!

The main reason was that this monkey was not as powerful as imagined. Qin Anyang could fight it for a while by himself; if the seven of them combined were still cowardly, they would truly become a laughingstock in the future!
