Golden Cloth.
The third material that Ye Zhongming placed was the golden cloth that carried the Monster Baby’s treasures.
Ye Zhongming noticed that this material had magical life-absorbing powers. If damaged, it would become a terrifying presence that absorbed all sorts of energies.
Ye Zhongming used it once. If one were not paying attention, it would damage even himself.
Thus, he kept it until now.
This time, he just wanted to give it a shot.
After all, it was a piece of cloth. The boots looked like they were also made of fiber, so they should fit the requirements.
In truth, the cloth did fit the requirements, just that… The commotion was a little huge.
“Your sister is playing with you, and you still make such a huge commotion.” Xia Lei was chewing some meat and rolled her eyes. This caused everyone to pay attention to their surroundings and prepare to leave.
Fortunately, it was day, and that golden light wasn’t as intense as the Gate of Sacrifice. It calmed back down after shining for a while and didn’t cause much problems.
Ye Zhongming looked at the boots that had turned grey and now had a golden light circling them. He was a little shocked.
“Speed +26, Agility +17, balance+ 11, toughness +20, skill: Increase movement speed by 100% for three seconds, 10-hour cooldown. Skill: Kick, deal damage twice your strength, and consume 100 mental energy.”
The base stats remained the same: some had increased a little. What shocked him were the two more passive skills that appeared.
“Passive skill 1, storage (Can upgrade), 2 square meters.”
“Passive skill 2， Star Consuming Satan (can upgrade), absorbs all life-related matter to replenish the user’s consumption and heal his injuries.”
Another golden legendary equipment.
Ye Zhongming danced in happiness.
The Gate of Sacrifice was the first golden equipment he had. He was emotional but not as excited as he was now.
After learning how to use the Gate of Sacrifice, Ye Zhongming knew that, in the long term, it was no different from a god artifact. But he had to sacrifice more things to use it. It was hard for him to use it again now, even if he had used up all his items, so it limited his short-term help.
But the Blood Stepping Boots were different. This was a piece of equipment that could give Ye Zhongming some help.
Not to mention the space equipment stat. Just the second passive that allowed him to continue fighting. It also made him as strong as a cockroach.
Using the absorption speed that the golden cloth had, if Ye Zhongming suffered from his injuries in the dungeon, he might have needed to kill a few level-two monsters and then absorb them, and then he would heal within a day.
Moreover, he noticed that it mentioned it would absorb all life force. This meant it could absorb monsters and anything that had life, such as plants. In other words, if they fought on grass, Ye Zhongming could replenish energy, stamina, etc. If he were injured, he would also get healed. Don’t forget, Ye Zhongming did use the stat stone and had the Stamina Fountain!
This skill was so strong.
Moreover, it could be upgraded.
After wearing the boots, Ye Zhongming felt that his body had become much lighter. He walked left and right to adapt to his changes.
But although this thing was good, the golden light was too obvious. Even if it was dim, others could see it right away.
Who knew how much-unneeded trouble he would attract if he wore these shoes in the future?
When Ye Zhongming was worrying about this, the light on the shoes dimmed and turned into a pair of normal boots.
Ye Zhongming thought about it, and suddenly the golden light spun.
Now he knew that when wearing a legendary-grade equipment, he could control whether or not he wanted to show off its color.
As for why he didn’t know about it… The best equipment he had was only green…
Ye Zhongming wore his new shoes as he returned to the team; his face was covered in a smile that confused everyone else.
“Shouldn’t you feel tired after doing that? Why do you look so excited?” Xia Lei asked Liang Chuyin.
She glanced at Ye Zhongming, “Post nut clarity, online sources say that is what happens.”
Little Tiger and Le Dayuan both laughed.
Ye Zhongming had the urge to test the kicks on them.
Xia Lei, Mo Ye, and Tang Tian were the ones that noticed that he had changed his boots. They paid attention to it, but no one asked.
Although these shoes didn’t give him the confidence to beat Soul Merchant, they caused him to have the confidence to go up against them.
He even had a thought that was growing in his heart.
If he and his men were strong enough, one day, he would wipe out this tumor from the world.
After eating, the team proceeded forwards. After a simple battle, they crossed the small town and collected some crystals.
Mo Ye and the others had scouted this place before, so they knew the route. In the afternoon, they were just an hour away from Cloud Peak.
But at that moment, the team and another faction bumped into one another.
“Looking at their dressing, they should be the Black Cloak Motorcade.”
Mo Ye held her blade tightly. The female cop was affected by the apocalypse, so apart from the people on the team, she was wary of strangers.
Black Cloak Motorcade was not one of the factions around Cloud Peak, but many people did know about them.
Ye Zhongming saw the motorcade of 4-5 motorcycles, 3 SUVs and a bus. He knew that this was the outline of the future trading motorcade.
These people didn’t have a fixed base and just roamed the wilderness. They collected all sorts of resources and traded with factions to strengthen themselves.
Of course, this referred to the more orderly ones. Some would rob the weaker camps or attack and consume other motorcades.
The motorcade slowly stopped in front of them. A few riding the motorcycles removed their helmets and raised their hands to express kindness.
But if you thought that they were friendly, then you were wrong. Ye Zhongming observed several black gun barrels at the corners of the windows.
“Hi brother, we come in peace!”
A person came off the SUV and held his hands up. He hadn’t dealt with his beard for a long time, so that one couldn’t tell his age. Anyways, he shouldn’t be over 40.
“Since you don’t mean harm, tell your brothers to keep their guns. People will get anxious when guns are pointed at them; if one feels anxious, who knows what they would do.”
Xia Lei smiled, and her upper body shook. She hid half her body behind Shengyuan. This big fellow stood in front of everyone and held his shield there. Normal guns couldn’t shoot through this thing.
Ye Zhongming glanced and knew that many of these 20 people were evolved. They all had guns and weren’t weak.
Those people who got off to greet them were also observing his team. They glanced at the grey bulletproof shirt that Little Tiger and a few of them were wearing and Shengyuan’s white shield. Their expressions changed when they saw the dog with a white crystal on its head hiding behind the group.
He realized that this group was prepared. Suppose they did anything, not to mention if their bullets could shoot through the white shield. Just the level two pet, it was ready to sneak attack. Who knew if they would have the upper hand if they were caught off guard?
After which, as they were close, they saw the white blade on many of their backs.
Apart from three women, every one of them had one.
The guy waved his arm at his men and shouted, “Calm down, calm down. Come out and see our friends that have come from afar. Brother, bring my 1916 bottle!”
“Let me introduce myself; I am Yuan Shang. I set up a motorcade with a few friends and relatives. As we all wear black shirts, they call us Black Cloak Motorcade. Haha, we are merchants and traded.” He shrugged, showed the two grenades by his waist, and revealed his muscles.
“We saw you all here, so we came over to see if we could do any business. We hope that you don’t misunderstand.”
Xia Lei glanced at Ye Zhongming’s face; she realized he was expressionless, so she said, “It doesn’t matter; sometimes misunderstanding in the apocalypse is a good thing.”
Her words were said with a smile and magnetic tone, but it was a warning. It caused some of their expressions to change.
“But I like to do business; let’s see what you all have.”
Yuan Shang smiled, “This beauty knows how to speak. We do not have much good stuff; they are all food, water, and essentials. Seeing that you all are in a good state, would you like to buy some food?”
Ye Zhongming shook his head, and then his body flashed. He stepped out and was so quick that everyone couldn’t react.
He just moved a little, but he crossed Yuan Shang and was beside the bus. He bent down and took out a bag from below.
“If you want to do business, then take out your sincerity. We don’t want to kill people, but we don’t have the habit of speaking in a dangerous environment.”
Ye Zhongming tossed the explosives to Yuan Shang and then waved a black remote in his hands.
