Apocalypse Gachapon

When Ye Zhongming jumped out of World Nature’s range, the human faction led by Ying City Alliance and Cloud Peak started to attack.

The truth was in front of them. Either they killed the Death King Tree, broke the flower, and left, or they would die here and become its fertilizer.

They had no other choice but to fight.

Many smart minds realized that if they won today, they might get many benefits.

People were like that in the apocalypse; they would find things that benefit them in despair, even if that was just hope.

“The Death King Tree is retreating!”

When the green figure blocked Ye Zhongming, many saw that the level eight mutated lifeform was retreating.

Although everyone was courageous and fighting, the Death King Tree still had the advantage. The dried corpses surrounded the humans and attacked them. The closest human to it, Ye Zhongming, was being stopped by something. So why did it have to retreat?

Shortly after, everyone knew the answer.

The Life-Taking Carrots on its crown stopped waving and started to constrict. They turned into pipes. Those branches also stretched, and the tips became sharp. Even the roots that supported its body spread.

These numerous body parts grew longer. They then stabbed the dried corpse horde like snakes.

No one was able to count the number, as there were too many. Even if they weren’t as many as the dried corpses, there were at least tens of thousands of them.

These things stepped into the spines of the dried corpses. Those who were stabbed shook and then became fiercer.

If normal dried corpses were stabbed, their grey corpses would start to shine. The crystals that lost their glow would have color again. Their aura also began to climb.

If the half dried corpses were stabbed, their bodies would grow bigger. Special parts would appear and become firmer, having a close-to-metallic glow.

Ah!

A human was close to the dried corpse that mutated and was hugged and bitten on the face. He screamed and tried to struggle. His weapon and body parts tried to hit it, but his resistance got weaker very quickly. When the dried corpse released him, that survivor fell.

“They are absorbing lifeforce!”

Someone exclaimed when he looked at how the corpse had lost all its water.

Many people’s heart sank. They knew the reason why the Death King Tree retreated.

The humans surrounded it to get the demon cyrstal and materials as well as the city that might have treasures hidden in it. Why did it kill humans? To fight against Ye Zhongming? Not. It might not have many thoughts, and it wasn’t normal to judge its actions through the lens of a human. But its goal had never changed.

It wanted to evolve to level nine. The humans that it trapped were its energy source to evolve.

Now, it was finally feasting.

“Xia Bai!”

Ye Zhongming shouted. His goal was clear. He had to stop it from feasting. Who knew when that fellow would complete its evolution? Even if it couldn’t, its strength might increase. Whatever the outcome, it wasn’t good for the humans.

He called Xia Bai so that the strongest person apart from him could disturb the Death King Tree so that it couldn’t absorb energy freely.

Xia Bai charged toward the Death King Tree’s main body to replace Ye Zhongming, who was being tied down.

“I am your opponent!”

Lin Xing reappeared to block Xia Bai. A similar tube was stuck in his neck, and some green liquid was being injected into his body.

A silver blade appeared in his hand, and he smiled viciously at Xia Bai.

A dangerous and strong aura spread from Lin Xing’s body.

“I will give the advanced version to your subordinates!”

The dried corpse continued to kill humans, which the Death King Tree enjoyed. She teased Ye Zhongming, who was busy.

Before her words landed, Mo Ye appeared beside Xia Bai.

The entire battlefield was chaotic. The disciplined team still maintained a formation, while those without discipline were in chaos.

Cloud Peak was the core power and was leading the Ying City Alliance. They were the only stable force in the entire human faction.

Mo Ye didn’t need to lead them now. Everyone knew what they had to do, so after seeing the situation, Mo Ye rushed over.

Only a few people, apart from Xia Bai and Ye Zhongming, were suitable for disturbing the Death King Tree. Mo Ye was one of them.

If one was too weak, they wouldn’t be able to disturb and would just be asking for death.

The Cloud Peak warriors controlling the Violent Lightning Turret helped to clear a path for Mo Ye.

“Go!”

Xia Bai was fighting with Lin Xing, and when she saw Mo Ye appear to take over, she helped block some of the dried corpses rushing over.

Mo Ye passed where she stood and got near the Death King Tree.

One move and a giant talisman appeared above her head. The Sharp Wind Talisman appeared and slashed a giant wind blade, which sliced dozens of dried corpses into two.

“En?”

The Death King Tree was slightly shocked. She didn’t expect this woman to have such a strong move. With the unique Holy Army Coat, Mo Ye was strong enough to threaten this level-eight lifeform.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

It was obvious that the Death King Tree’s self-protecting ability was at its weakest now.

“Officer Mo, we meet again.”

An ear-piercing voice spread from another direction. Mo Ye turned her head and saw someone wrapped in black mist with a horn on his head—a human lifeform strolling over.

The black mist turned any dried corpse that got close into ash.

Mo Ye looked at the slightly shocked Death King Tree and didn’t bother. She asked coldly, “Who are you?”

The human lifeform laughed. It was still ear-piercing, “I am Zhang Dalong. Does Officer Mo remember me?”
