Chapter 2037

~9 min read 1,666 words

Su Xiao soon saw the big guy in Baha's mouth. It was a giant lizard nearly 40 meters tall, and its body length reached an exaggerated extent.

The giant lizard stopped near Shelter No. 9. Careful observation would reveal that a flat metal cabin was fixed on the lizard's back, and an impact cannon was mounted on it.

Large amounts of dust rose, the giant lizard crawled on the ground, and several figures walked from the giant lizard's back to its neck, eventually standing on the giant lizard's head.

"Fire Skull Gang."

Broken Tooth, standing behind Su Xiao, swallowed his saliva. He had seen this giant lizard once. This terrifying creature destroyed Shelter No. 3. He witnessed that scene with his own eyes and would never forget it.

The Fire Skull Gang from Shelter No. 17 came knocking. This was within expectations; after all, the Fire Skull Gang was one of the top major forces in this wilderness.

A man wearing a half-face metal mask leaped down from the giant lizard's head. The mask on his face blocked his mouth and nose, his hair was fluffy and draped behind his back. The metal mask on his face was very heavy, and a large number of conduits were connected below it. His upper body was embedded with armor plates, and several pitch-black conduits hung down naturally.

"Fire, Fire Skull... Mogro!"

The hunters who were originally prepared to fight retreated in unison after seeing the face of the person who came. This was also the reason why Su Xiao had no interest in developing this force. Compared to the Zerg, these hunters were simply useless.

In the final analysis, they just wanted to survive, and their willpower was far from as firm as soldiers, let alone compared to the fearless Zerg.

If Su Xiao had an army of demon beasts by his side now, forget about Fire Skull or Sun Head, he would just rush up and tear them apart.

Fire Skull Mogro, leader of the Fire Skull Gang, had ruled Shelter No. 17 for 28 years. To this day, no one had been able to defeat him.

"You..."

Mogro spoke. His voice was somewhat muffled, and those eyes, which were already turning black from being red, narrowed. This guy had a severe case of Blood Burning. Being able to maintain sanity to this extent without dying was definitely a ruthless man.

Mogro's eyes swept across the several hundred hunters blocking the front. After everyone met his gaze, they subconsciously averted their eyes.

Mogro raised his hand and pressed it against the lower jaw of the metal mask, took a deep breath, and made a somewhat creepy hissing sound.

As the saying went, a person's name, a tree's shadow. Mogro's terrifying atrocities of destroying 12 shelters made the hunters feel fear. They not only feared Mogro but also feared the Fire Skull Gang and that alien lizard.

A hunter holding a gun in both hands, whose muzzle didn't dare to point at Mogro, suddenly felt someone push him from behind. Just as he was about to curse, he immediately held it back because someone he couldn't afford to offend more had come.

"Mogro?"

Su Xiao looked Mogro up and down. Preliminary estimate: at most five minutes, he could slash off the other party's head.

"Holy Flame Kuku Lin."

Mogro was also looking at Su Xiao. A moment later, he raised his hand, letting his subordinates control the Undead Lizard to retreat first. Mogro basically understood what was going on in Shelter No. 9.

"Talk inside the shelter."

Su Xiao turned and walked toward the entrance of the shelter. Mogro followed, taking one step at a time. His mechanical equipment was conservatively estimated to be over 150 kilograms.

"Leader! We are with you!"

A loud shout came from the back of the Undead Lizard. Mogro turned his head to look, just waving his hand, and those subordinates immediately stopped speaking. Although they looked anxious, the leader's order was higher than everything.

As Su Xiao and Mogro moved forward, the crowd made way for a passage.

Ten minutes later, in the three-story small building in District A, Su Xiao and Mogro sat opposite each other.

"I came here to take the medicine, using Dibam in exchange."

Mogro grabbed a conduit on his neck and exerted force. With a squelch, light gray liquid splattered.

Mogro tossed the conduit on the table. This thing was a biological structure, just wrapped in a layer of gelatinous substance on the outside.

"Are you sure?"

Su Xiao's hand pressed on the hilt of his blade. He felt that this leader of the Fire Skull Gang was here to die.

"Draw your blade. I will die here, but my children will trample this place."

Mogro's red-black pupils stared at Su Xiao. Upon seeing Su Xiao for the first time, Mogro knew this was a monster, the kind he could never defeat. In his life, he had seen two such monsters that were absolutely impossible to defeat. The other one might be even stronger.

"Should I call you a good father, or mock you for coming here to die?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as they can get the medicine, they are the hope. I am not anymore."

Mogro laughed, a very unpleasant laugh.

"Oh? Letting your people trample this place, and then searching for the medicine, wouldn't that be a better choice?"

"..."

Mogro was silent. Before seeing Su Xiao, he had indeed thought so. People were brought, ready to go to war with Shelter No. 9.

Up to now, only a small number of traitors had appeared in the Fire Skull Gang. Most of the hunters there chose to follow Mogro to grab the treatment medicine, which showed Mogro's strong personality charm.

"You, have you seen the superhuman plant Dibam?"

Su Xiao released the hilt. Although it was only a brief conversation, he felt the other party's sincerity. Mogro was vastly different from Yahada. The former was cruel and tyrannical, but at critical moments, he was willing to sacrifice for his descendants and subordinates, while the latter was simply greedy.

If Su Xiao had killed Mogro within the Fire Skull Gang, he likely wouldn't have been able to kill his way out alive.

"Seen it once, and obtained one."

Mogro picked up the conduit on the table and tore it open, revealing a few green leaves inside.

Click, click, click...

A crystal layer climbed onto Su Xiao's hand. He used two fingers to pick up that small plant, and the Reincarnation Paradise prompt appeared.

【The Hunter has obtained the seedling of the superhuman plant Dibam (incomplete).】

【Prompt: This amount of seedlings, after being burned to ashes, is insufficient to find the orientation of the main body.】

Su Xiao looked at the green plant root in his hand. This thing was at most five centimeters long, and the leaves on it were somewhat withered.

Dibam, Great Catastrophe, Undead, Contaminated World Core.

Many of Su Xiao's doubts were resolved. If nothing went wrong, Mogro in front of him had the nature of an Undead, but the other party seemed to be deeply eroded, plus the erosion of Blood Burning, the two appeared to have a phenomenon of fighting poison with poison. Precisely because of this, Mogro had lived until now.

"The treatment medicine is already running low..."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Mogro clenched his fists.

"Tell me where the main body of Dibam is, and I will give you the formula for the treatment medicine."

Su Xiao leaned forward, watching Mogro with a smile.

"You... are crazy."

Mogro showed an expression of astonishment for the first time. He had been there once and obtained many things there, but he never wanted to go a second time, never.

"Take me there. The treatment medicine formula, Shelter No. 9, over 84,500 hunters, all belong to you. No, it should be that they belong to your descendants."

"..."

Mogro was silent. After thinking for a few seconds, he stretched out a hand and said in a deep voice: "Deal."

"Deal."

Su Xiao shook Mogro's hand, which was wrapped in metal plates.

【Prompt: The Hunter has reached an alliance relationship with Fire Skull Mogro.】

【Shelter No. 17 Reputation System has been opened. Current Reputation: 370/3000 (Friendly).】

Seeing this sudden prompt, Su Xiao was stunned for a moment. Mogro, who looked neither human nor ghost, was actually the kind of person who was extremely honest.

Such a person either died in their youth or was betrayed. Once such a person gathered a force, combined with a sufficiently cruel personality, that personality charm would definitely beat all protagonists in the derived world.

The intelligence of the superhuman plant Dibam was suddenly delivered to his door. Su Xiao wasn't too surprised. As the saying went, things in the world were impermanent. Moreover, he sent out so many hunters, the first purpose was to search, and the second purpose was to spread the news.

"Depart in one hour."

Su Xiao had no interest in staying in Shelter No. 9. The possibility of obtaining benefits here was lower than imagined. Some hunters did have good things, but most hunters were similar to the Broken Tooth brothers, poor to the point of only having mechanical exoskeletons.

Moreover, mutual distrust destined that it was difficult to purchase items with Shock coins. Those hunters didn't want to sell, but didn't dare. Under the condition of unequal strength and status, selling would definitely develop into robbery. This style was deeply rooted in Shelter No. 9. This wilderness was simply too savage.

"Give me one day."

Mogro clearly had things to explain to his subordinates, and even to complete the replacement of the leader position.

"Five hours."

"Can do."

Mogro stood up and left without any hesitation.

After Mogro left, Naga, who had been guarding the door, stepped forward.

"Mr. Holy Flame, is Mogro... trustworthy?"

Naga's expression was normal, but he was desperately hiding some kind of emotion in his eyes.
