Chapter 90: Ross: The Simpler The Person, the More Ruthless The Blade (2)

They followed behind Goatee and the others. Soon, they realized that these people were walking out of the village.

The direction they were heading in was the pharmacist’s hut where the witch doctor lived.

“Oh, there’s a quest!”

Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up.

After staying in Frostwood Village for half a year, the witch doctor, Gamma, had always kept a low profile. There was nothing going on, and he could not find trouble with him. He did not expect to get a clue today.

After leaving the village, they arrived and saw a continuous wilderness. It was not easy to hide. Zhou Jing and Ross walked and stopped. After the group walked into the sparse forest surrounding the pharmacist’s hut, they followed behind.

Zhou Jing hid behind a tree and saw the scene in the pharmacist’s hut.

The goateed man knocked lightly on the door, only to have Gamma quickly open it and welcome them in.

The door closed again.

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and hid under the window, hiding in a blind spot. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the house.

The Mutant Blood Potion had slightly enhanced his perception, and he could hear the conversation in the house.

“Gamma, where’re the goods this time?” This seemed to be the voice of the goateed man.

“In here.”

Gamma spoke out, and his voice was no longer as old as usual. Instead, it was full of energy.

From inside the house came the sound of rummaging, followed by the sliding of some kind of mechanism, then the thump of a few boxes being placed on the floor, mixed with the crisp clink of bottles.

After a while, the goateed man said unhappily, “There’s not alot? It’s far from enough.”

Gamma said helplessly, “The hunters in the village have dwindled. They’ve been busy training new people, so there’s fewer opportunities for me to bring herbs. There aren’t enough materials, so I can only do so much.”

The goateed man said, “Forget it. The price of each bottle will still remain the same.”

Ding, ding, ding…

There was a clatter of coins.

Gamma chuckled before he whispered, “No one noticed you when you came over, right?”

The goateed man did not mind. “Don’t worry, the entire village is asleep. No one saw.”

Gamma was not convinced by the response, “You should be more cautious. There are outsiders in the village. Half a year ago, the guy named Jason·Wood came to the village to stay and even became a Mutant Beast Hunter. He’s an unstable factor…”

The goateed man mocked, “Look at how timid you are. So what if he’s an outsider? Does that mean he’ll definitely notice you?”

“I…” Gamma was in a difficult position.

The goateed man shook his head. “If you’re so afraid, we can choose not to make any deals in the future. Anyway, I still have other pharmacists to provide for me.”

“Don’t!” Gamma hurriedly spoke out. “I can do it.”

Zhou Jing listened for a while. Although he did not see the scene, he more or less understood the situation.

If he was not mistaken, Gamma was selling potions to the goateed man. This transaction might have been going on for years.

“Frostwood Village supplies herbs for Gamma, and Gamma provides potion and medical services. The two sides work together, but he hid a portion of the medicine. He was lying when he said that there was a low success rate for making potions. He kept the extra potions in stock to earn extra money?”

Zhou Jing had roughly guessed the situation.

In the interstellar era, such things were common. It was even possible to turn a blind eye.

However, to the villagers of the Mutant World, it was inhumane to cut corners and fill their own pockets.

The villagers would definitely not be able to accept it. Even if Gamma was a rare pharmacist who was willing to stay in the village, he would most likely be chased away.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Zhou Jing did not jump out immediately.

He gestured to Ross, who was hiding not far away, to show himself and make some noise.

Ross got up silently and went to the door of the pharmacist’s cabin. He slammed his head against the wall.

Pang!!

In the silence of the night, the sound was deafening.

The sound in the house disappeared, and it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Pa!

The door suddenly opened. The goateed man did not see anyone at first glance. He looked down and saw Ross squatting at the door, covering his head.

“Catch him!”

The goateed man’s tone was furious.

The three lackeys beside him immediately pounced forward and captured Ross.

Ross raised his eyes to look below the windowsill, but Zhou Jing, who was originally here, had already disappeared and was quietly hiding elsewhere.

Seeing this, Ross was silently pressed to the ground and did not resist.

Seeing that the uninvited guest had been restrained, the goateed man heaved a sigh of relief. He frowned and sized up Ross.

“Who is this person?”

At this moment, Gamma hurried out. When he saw Ross’ face, he was stunned.

“This person is the follower of that Mutant Beast Hunter, Jason. He’s a mute with a brain problem.”

“Mute?” The goateed man’s expression relaxed slightly before he shouted, “Then why is he here?”

“I-I don’t know. This fool usually follows Jason, but occasionally he runs around… Maybe he just happened to run to us?”

Gamma looked at a loss as well.

Then he thought of something, and his expression changed. He muttered, “That Jason has been suspecting me. Maybe he sent this person to watch me… No, that doesn’t make sense. He’s a mute and a fool. Even if Jason suspects me, he can’t have sent him.”

“Suspect you?” The goateed man was confused. “What else haven’t you told me? Why is that Jason watching you?”

“I… I just didn’t cure his brother.”

Gamma stammered.

“That simple? Impossible!” The goateed man looked doubtful. “You still want to hide it from me at this point?”
