Chapter 36: Power Bracelet
Iris shook her head to throw out these thoughts since she was starting to think about something that she shouldn't be thinking.
Her thoughts had started falling into the category of being excessive.
After all, she had started thinking about how there were some people that repaid those that saved them with their bodies…
Sure he was a handsome young man, but still…they barely knew each other…
So she turned her attention back to the Kong Gorilla that was in front of her.
It was her task now to take care of this Kong Gorilla.
Lin Fan had set everything up to give her this chance, so that was the only way that she could repay him.
Especially since he was going to all that trouble of keeping the Power Gorillas away.
"I'll take you down and prove them wrong!" Iris suddenly shouted as she charged at the Kong Gorilla.
There was a trace of a bitter smile that appeared on my lips when I heard this.
It seemed like there was some kind of backstory that she hadn't told me that was hidden there. But there had to be a reason that she didn't tell me this backstory, so I focused on the Power Gorillas in front of me.
With the Fanged Wolves picking them off like this, the pack of Power Gorillas had completely stopped. Even though they wanted to rush over to help the Kong Gorilla, they just couldn't do anything against the Fanged Wolves.
That was because the Fanged Wolves had another advantage compared to the Power Gorillas.
The Power Gorillas just didn't have the intelligence to work together properly.
Even if they wanted to work together, there was only so much that they could do when they were crowded together like this.
As for the Fanged Wolves, they were working together to hunt single targets.
When it was two on one and in conditions where the one couldn't fight properly, it was a complete massacre. The Power Gorillas could only watch as more and more of their group was being hunted by the Fanged Wolves.
But at the same time, there were a few Fanged Wolves that were also picking up the corpses of the Power Gorillas.
Once the prey was hunted down, there would be some Fanged Wolves that would drag the corpses away from the main group.
As for where those corpses were dragged over to…It was naturally where I was standing.
After they were dragged over, I had the Scavenger Rabbit dig through their corpses for loot. But before having the Scavenger Rabbit dig for loot, I always made sure to look over at Iris to see if she was still busy fighting the Kong Gorilla.
This was a power that I didn't want her to know about, so I only did it while she was distracted by the Kong Gorilla.
The Power Gorillas still had good loot, so I wasn't about to give those up.
Especially when I saw the bracelet that dropped.
Power Bracelet
Increases the user's strength by 10 and can double the user's power for five minutes when activated.
For a normal person that would only have around 10 strength in the first place, this meant that it would make it so they would be twice as strong as normal people. Then doubling that again would make them four times as strong, even if it was temporary.
But this thing was even better for me since I had the Boost Strength skill.
My power could already increase by 5 times with that skill, so that would mean I would have ten times the strength of a normal person with just the passive boost from the Power Bracelet.
Then if it was doubled…
I couldn't help wondering just how strong I would be with all of this combined…
It seemed like these Power Gorillas really had some amazing loot.
I couldn't help looking at the Kong Gorilla with a tempted look after seeing this Power Bracelet.
But I also noticed that Iris seemed to be struggling against the Kong Gorilla.
Earlier, it seemed like she had everything under control, but now it seemed like she was being pushed back by the Kong Gorilla. That was because the Kong Gorilla seemed to have suddenly gained a burst of power.
Its fur had even turned red to show that it had suddenly gained this power.
With the state that it was in, it seemed like it was giving a last ditch effort to fight back.
After thinking about it, I had the Fanged Wolf under me charge forward.
I hadn't planned on interfering with her fight against the Kong Gorilla, but now there was something that I wanted to test.
"Oh no!" Iris suddenly shouted as she realized that she had fallen for the Kong Gorilla's trap. She couldn't move out of the way in time to dodge the boulder that was flying right at her, it seemed like she would either have to take the hit from the boulder or get hit by the Kong Gorilla's fist.
Or that was what she had expected until she saw someone appear in front of her.
"Boom!"
With a single punch, he shattered the boulder.
Then he jumped off his Fanged Wolf and landed in front of the charging Kong Gorilla before matching punches with that Kong Gorilla.
No, it seemed like the Kong Gorilla was even being pushed back by his punches.
That just went to show just how much power was behind each of those punches.
A look of shock appeared on the Kong Gorilla's face as it couldn't believe that there was a human, a skinny looking human that could actually match its power like this. It had never met a human like this before, so it couldn't help feeling afraid.
The Kong Gorilla stepped back and looked like it wanted to run, but that human suddenly came forward and grabbed its hands, locking it in place.
Even if it wanted to run, it found that it couldn't pull away at all.
"Do it now!" I shouted at Iris who had been watching in a daze.
