NOVEL NEXT Chapter 477: Snatched Away the Skill
"There seems to be someone up ahead," Ye Xuan said, looking at the road ahead.
Upon hearing this, Li Hui focused his gaze to look ahead.
A few seconds later, Li Hui spoke, "There's someone riding a motorcycle up front, and a mutated animal chasing them, looks like a wolf."
As soon as Ye Xuan heard this, he quickly turned the steering wheel, changing direction to chase after the running wolf.
"Oh crap," Li Hui exclaimed, then he gripped the handle on the car roof tightly.
Li Hui knew that Ye Xuan was an excellent driver. As soon as Ye Xuan started to speed up, Li Hui knew he had to hold on tightly, otherwise, the violent shaking would make him get out of the car and vomit wildly.
Ye Xuan drove the car and quickly caught up behind the mutated wolf. Timing the wolf's movements, he fiercely stepped on the gas and swerved to the side. With a "bang," he swiftly knocked the mutated wolf flying.
Then, Ye Xuan rolled down the window and the fireball in his hand shot out rapidly, landing on the injured mutated wolf. Soon after, the mutated wolf was engulfed in flames by Ye Xuan's attack.
[Dudu]
The gaming system popped up a points notification indicating the points Ye Xuan earned from killing the mutated wolf.
At this moment, the motorcycle in front stopped, and the person quickly jumped off and waved towards Ye Xuan and his group.
Ye Xuan parked the car in front of them.
"Thanks, man."
The motorcycle rider walked over to Ye Xuan and smiled at him.
Ye Xuan looked at the name above the head of the man on the motorcycle, who was nicknamed "Mite Bear," with a level of fourteen. Not very high, so it made sense he didn't dare to take on the mutated wolf head-on before.
"No trouble at all," Ye Xuan replied indifferently.
The man's attitude was amicable, with no intention of causing trouble with Ye Xuan and his team, so Ye Xuan didn't seek to agitate matters either.
"Hey, you're heading to Jin'an City, right?" Mite Bear looked at Ye Xuan and asked again.
"Mhm," Ye Xuan nodded.
Upon hearing this, Mite Bear immediately smiled: "Ah, if you're going to Jin'an City, you might as well join me. Besides, Brother Star has set up a base over there, you guys can also rest there."
Ye Xuan frowned slightly upon hearing what Mite Bear said.
The Brother Star mentioned by Mite Bear was probably the base leader. Every city had such bases, and Ye Xuan was no longer surprised by them. However, they didn't need charity, so there was no point in going to the base.
"No need, we have other places to go," Ye Xuan rejected outright.
Mite Bear was stunned upon hearing this.
Several seconds later, Mite Bear continued with a smile, "Alright, if you guys have other places to go, I won't keep inviting you. But since you saved me today, I want to thank you. Let me know if there's anything else you need."
"I need gasoline; you can take me to a gas station," Ye Xuan said, his gaze falling on Mite Bear's waist.
A pouch that was stained with red blood was hanging around Mite Bear's waist.
"Sure, there's a gas station up ahead, I'll take you guys there," Mite Bear said, then got back onto his motorcycle.
After Mite Bear got on his bike, he gestured to Ye Xuan and his group, and Ye Xuan restarted the car, following behind Mite Bear's motorcycle as they continued onward.
"We're in luck today, having found a guide. Much better than aimlessly wandering in Tianmeng City like headless flies," Li Hui couldn't help but remark.
"Mite Bear's pouch on his waist." Tang Xuerou suddenly brought this up.
Li Hui was puzzled upon hearing Tang Xuerou's words, turning his face: "Bag, what bag?"
"A bloodstained bag was hanging from Mite Bear's waist. What do you think is inside?" Ye Xuan asked.
"An evil dragon's organ?" He Yalan said with a frown.
After all, the people from the Tianmeng City rescue station had become mutants by consuming stuff like the brains of evil dragons.
"Not necessarily," said Ye Xuan, "but it's definitely nothing good."
As he spoke, Ye Xuan suddenly stepped on the accelerator.
After entering Jinan City, Mite Bear took Ye Xuan and the others to a gas station in the city.
"This is the place." Mite Bear stopped the motorcycle and spoke to Ye Xuan and his crew.
Ye Xuan parked the car at the refueling area, and Li Hui was the first to open the car door: "I'll fuel up! Boss, you take a break."
Having said that, Li Hui scampered off to refuel.
Ye Xuan's gaze fell on Mite Bear, who pulled out an energy drink and took a heavy gulp.
"Are you from Jinan City?" Ye Xuan asked Mite Bear.
"Yes, this is our base."
"What are you lot yammering about? These are my friends." Mite Bear turned and took a few steps forward.
Ye Xuan frowned, wondering how Mite Bear knew them?
"Oh, it's Brother Biscuit, my apologies, I didn't see you there," said the man leading the group in the gas station, hurrying over and greeting Mite Bear with bows and nods.
Mite Bear extended his hand and gave the guys at the station a knuckle-rap on the head: "I'm such a big guy, and you're telling me you didn't see me."
"Brother Biscuit, my bad, my eyesight is poor, I'm sorry," the man said, passing Mite Bear a pack of cigarettes.
"Alright, beat it," Mite Bear said as he took the pack of cigarettes, sounding somewhat impatient.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
The group responded and retreated back.
Watching those men re-enter the rest area, Ye Xuan turned to Mite Bear: "Is this gas station your turf?"
"Once you're in Jinan City, everything is pretty much my big brother's territory," Mite Bear said, lighting a cigarette and taking a deep drag, "so don't stay in Jinan City for too long. Fuel up and leave quickly. If you follow the national road, you should be able to reach City D."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of light trembled in Ye Xuan's eyes.
So it turns out that Jinan City is already under the control of Mite Bear's big brother, not just these gas stations; the entire Jinan City has become his turf.
What kind of person could actually take over the whole Jinan City?
"So Jinan City is already completely under your big brother's control... I was actually thinking about going there to gather some resources..." Ye Xuan said on purpose.
"Yeah, our boss is no ordinary person. It's said that he lost his abilities after a skill Spiritual Power user stole his Spiritual Power from him.
But he bore the humiliation and chose another way to become stronger. Being able to control the entire Jinan City shows his extraordinariness. Following him, I feel he's incredible," Mite Bear said.
The skill was stolen by a skill Spiritual Power user.
