Chapter 19 Murder, Discovery of the Suit
"Li Laoshi, what happened?"
Chen Hao squeezed through the crowd, walked directly to Li Laoshi's side, and asked.
"Brother Chen, you're back."
"Brother Chen."
The moment Chen Hao appeared, his colleagues seemed to see a powerful backer, and they shouted excitedly.
"Brother Chen, he's trying to steal the wild boar we hunted."
When Li Laoshi saw Chen Hao, he relaxed and quickly explained the reason.
"Qin Feng and Ma Tao have both been beaten by them."
He then pointed to the two men who had injuries on their bodies.
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Hao nodded, his expression turning grave and grim.
He looked at the group of people opposite him.
The leader was a burly man who was a bit taller than Chen Hao. He was carrying a jungle longsword and wearing leather armor.
Looks like he's got some skills.
"You're their boss, right?"
The burly man opposite Chen Hao looked at him with an eager expression on his face.
"Come on, let's have a fight."
"If you win, I'll give this meat back to you."
The burly man lifted the plastic bucket next to him, which was filled with strips of meat that Li Laoshi had picked off the wild boar.
Upon hearing this, Chen Hao walked towards the burly man without saying a word.
The burly man's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. When Chen Hao came into his attack range, he slashed down hard with his sword.
"Wow!" The onlookers screamed upon seeing this scene, and some even covered their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.
However, when faced with this knife, Chen Hao simply took a step back, and the tip of the knife almost grazed Chen Hao's nose before hitting the ground.
Before the opponent could retract his blade, Chen Hao stepped on the back of the long sword that was cleaving the ground.
"It's my turn."
A cold glint flashed in Chen Hao's eyes.
He slashed with his long sword, then turned and left.
"Li Laoshi, take two men and throw the body out."
Li Laoshi was still somewhat confused when he saw the burly man suddenly clutch his neck, and bright red blood flowed down his neck, staining his body red.
"Heh heh," the burly man stared intently at Chen Hao's back, never expecting that he would die so quickly.
"Murder! Murder!"
The surrounding crowd reacted strongly.
They stared in horror at the burly man who was dying, then looked at Chen Hao, their eyes flashing with fear.
Some people who originally had ulterior motives shuddered when they saw this scene in the crowd, and their fear of Chen Hao rose to its highest level.
"Oh, and don't forget to take all of their equipment."
Chen Hao gave instructions.
"Yes, yes."
Chen Laoshi quickly replied.
At this moment, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes as he looked at Chen Hao.
As Chen Hao walked out, the people blocking his way retreated in fear, terrified that he might also stab them.
Soon, a gap appeared in the crowd of onlookers.
Then many more people, not daring to linger, turned and left.
This resulted in Chen Hao and the others occupying a larger area.
Many people would rather squeeze in with others than get close to Chen Hao and his group.
"What happened?"
Zhao Long and the others were curious until they saw the corpse, at which point their expressions changed.
Soon, they found out the whole story from their colleagues.
"Well done."
Kong Hao was the first to speak.
"That man deserves to die. How dare he so blatantly rob us of our food? He completely disregards us."
"It's only because I don't have Brother Chen's strength that I would have been the first to not let him off the hook."
Kong Hao said indignantly.
With him taking the lead, Zhao Long and the others quickly reacted and voiced their support for Chen Hao.
With each word spoken, they went on to portray the dead strong man as utterly wicked, deserving of his death.
As a result, others also joined the ranks of those condemning the movement.
Gradually, the fear people had of Chen Hao dissipated, and they even began to admire him more.
Chen Hao, who witnessed this scene, looked at Kong Hao with some surprise.
"This kid is a talent."
So he told Li Laoshi to take the long knife from the strong man's hand, and then called Kong Hao over.
"Here you go, you're very good."
Chen Hao praised.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
After receiving the longsword, Kong Hao was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude to Chen Hao.
Afterwards, Li Laoshi and Zhao Long carried the strong man's body and dumped it into the forest.
Along the way, no one dared to block their way.
Upon their return, Chen Hao instructed them to cut up the animal carcasses they had brought back.
At the same time, people spread the word that one could exchange a white card for eight pounds of pork, wolf meat, or five pounds of venison.
Pork and wolf meat don't taste good; it's better to switch to other white foods.
This publicity immediately stirred up some people's interest.
However, because Chen Hao had just killed someone, some of them were hesitant to come over and make a deal with him.
Chen Hao ignored the hesitant people and instead examined the leather armor he had taken from the burly man's corpse.
[One-Star Equipment Card (Blue) - Wild Boar Hide Top (Set 1/3): Made of tough wild boar hide, it offers excellent protection and has a passive damage reduction effect, capable of negating one-tenth of attack damage.]
"Blue gear, set."
Chen Hao was startled.
"There are even outfit sets!"
Anyone who has played games knows that sets are stronger than individual pieces because of the set bonuses.
"No wonder that guy was so arrogant, it turns out he had this good stuff."
Chen Hao couldn't help but sigh, some people are indeed lucky; they might just kill a snake and get a blue-quality item.
Then, Chen Hao had someone wash the bloodstains off the wild boar skin coat with water, and he took off the wolf skin coat and put it on.
Chen Hao gave the wolfskin coat to Li Laoshi.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
Chen Hao patted him on the shoulder without saying anything.
The others looked at Li Laoshi with envy.
After a while, someone finally mustered up the courage to trade using the white meat card.
Chen Hao did not appear in person, but directly had Gao Jie hand over the task to the other party.
This was something the other party secured by volunteering.
Chen Hao then entrusted the task to her.
Furthermore, Gao Jie has a beautiful face, which can reassure many people who have concerns.
He took out the skill card, hesitated for a moment, and then used it.
Instantly, the blue card transformed into a blue light spot and surged into Chen Hao's body.
In an instant, countless images flashed before Chen Hao's eyes, all of them scenes of him cultivating the [Three Blades of the Ferocious Wolf].
As the name suggests, the 【Three Fierce Wolf Slashes】 consists of only three slashes, each more ruthless than the last.
It's easy to get started, but difficult to master.
But by the time Chen Hao regained consciousness, some time had already passed.
"Such ruthless swordsmanship," Chen Hao exclaimed.
Then he immediately began to perform the technique on the spot.
I was a little unfamiliar with it the first time, but I got the hang of it the second time, and by the third time I had mastered it.
After practicing ten times, Chen Hao completely mastered the sword technique.
Now he is confident that he can easily defeat his pre-sword-wielding self.
This is an improvement in technique; with the same amount of force, Chen Hao can exert greater power.
After Chen Hao finished practicing his swordsmanship, Gao Jie came to his side with a bunch of white cards in her hands.
"Brother Chen, these are the cards we redeemed."
"Great job, thank you for your hard work."
Looking at the nearly twenty blank cards, Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction and then put them all away.
"It's not hard work, it's what I should do."
"Brother Chen, you're the one who's really working hard, going out hunting every day and doing all sorts of dangerous work."
Gao Jie blinked her big eyes and said gently.
A group of women processing venison nearby witnessed this scene and were furious, cursing inwardly.
