Chapter 708: Who won?
Chapter 708: Who won?
Many dried corpses did die in the battle with the humans, but that was only around 50-60 thousand. That explosion took away a similar number.
The explosion injured the humans, but they didnt care as such a scene was too shocking.
The ocean-like number of enemies were suddenly blown into pieces, and the squeezy battlefield was wide and free. The battle also stopped.
This sudden occurrence stunned everyone.
But it wasnt over. A second explosion continued. Those tubes killed another wave of dried corpses before anyone could react.
Many people then realized that the Death King Tree was mutilating itself. It probably had nearly enough energy, which is why it was using this simpler method to complete the final evolution.
Survivors who understood didnt feel happy that the enemy was killing itself. Instead, they were more worried as this meant that they were about to face a level-nine lifeform.
Charge!
Run!
Two different voices appeared at the same time. When the outside threat was gone, and they were about to face a bigger danger, the people who had been risking their lives before started to split.
Some ran toward the outside, while others headed for the Death King Tree. Some just remained on the spot and hesitated, not knowing what to do.
Those who fled were mostly from Linhai. Their fear of the Death King Tree was in their bones. When they were surrounded and forced to fight, there was nothing they could do. But now that the dried corpses had exploded, their first thought was still to flee.
They couldnt even deal with a level-eight Death King Tree. Were they asking to die against a level-nine one?
Those who remained on the spot were mostly those who came to find treasures. They wanted to leave because the Death King Tree was so strong that they were terrified, but they werent willing to leave empty-handed. They were thinking whether or not there was a chance that they could benefit.
Those at the front were naturally Cloud Peak, who led the Ying City Alliance and Cannibal Chain.
Since they entered, the Ying City Alliance decided that their fates followed Ye Zhongming. They were tied with Cloud Peak, so naturally, they didnt have a reason to retreat.
However, after a year with Ye Zhongming, they had a consensus.
This was a guy that could create miracles.
There probably wouldnt be any accidents this time.
Cannibal Chain members had a far more complicated thought process, especially Ruan Xiao. He didnt want to follow them if possible, but he had no choice. He only received some of his payment. Ye Zhongming also didnt pay him for his gold equipment breaking.
If he died here, this would be a huge loss. As a businessman, he didnt allow such things to happen.
Ruan Xiao would rather help Ye Zhongming so that he would win than see Cloud Peak and Ye Zhongming die, thus losing his investment.
So he led Cannibal Chain to follow, but they were behind.
In the time that the human camp dissolved, the dried corpses all exploded. Those tubes also dropped from the Death King Trees body for some reason.
The current tree was more like a regular tree.
I have to admit that you are stronger than I thought. She suddenly spoke. Her voice was different from before, and it was calmer this time.
But it is useless.
That face was originally beautiful, but now that it was so serious, she looked very noble. But when she spoke, it gave Ye Zhongming and the rest goosebumps.
Look, the flower is moving!
Finally, someone noticed that the flower above had silently moved. If not for people staring at the Death King Tree, thus seeing the flower in the sky, they wouldnt have noticed.
A bad feeling rose in Ye Zhongmings heart, and his speed picked up.
But it was too late.
After the humans saw that it was moving, the flower sped up. It started to get close and shrink like a streak of light.
The flower first touched those who were trying to escape. Before they even understood what had happened, the flower wall hit them. They launched their attacks instinctively, but they were useless.
The group fell over, and the flower wall pushed them back.
The next person to touch the flower wall was Ye Zhongming, who was at the front. Next was Cloud Peak and Ying City.
Attacks landed on this translucent wall, but they were uselessat least for now. Humans who participated in the battle were all forced into this narrow space.
Many people tried to push the walls, but they were useless.
These things were like elastic covers. After being pushed to its limit, they would start to retract. Its speed and toughness filled one with despair.
There is a reaction, but we need some time!
Mo Ye said to Ye Zhongming. Everyone tried to attack, and this mini flower wasnt inpenetrable. But its defense was stronger than Clear Sky Lake's. They needed time to break the barrier.
Seeing that the flower had trapped everyone, the Death King Tree laughed again.
You arent giving me the energy I need to get to level nine? That is okay; just watch me evolve. Look at a noble presence born. You should feel honored that you are my first prey after reaching level nine, right?
A silver light appeared on its body, and an orange crystal appeared. The silver light started to enter the crystal.
Others didnt know, but Ye Zhongming knew that the crystal of level nine mutated lifeforms was silver!
This fellow was really evolving!
You gave me a huge problem, but I won.
She closed her eyes. The shiny stem started to twist as if you were looking at it through a burning flame.
This should be done by reshaping its body so that it is suitable to carry a level nine lifeform.
In normal circumstances, everyone knew that stronger evolutions would take longer. But the Death King Tree was too weird. No one knew how long it would takemaybe a few minutes! This barrier was also not something they could break in a short time.
This meant that the humans were slipping into the abyss.
No, you havent won.
Ye Zhongming slapped the flower and said firmly.
