Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1068.1: Collector

Ruins?

Ye Zhongming repeated it, but he was still a little shocked.

He had naturally heard of ruins before, but was there such a place in the apocalypse?

But he didn’t think it didn’t exist just because he hadn’t seen it before. He didn’t have a high status in his last life, so he didn’t understand many things.

But he was slightly excited. If the ruins were something he didn’t know about, it meant that he was unveiling the mysterious veil of the apocalypse.

“This is the news you heard?”

Lin Yixun shook his head, “No, the ruins are just what we call the stone pearl mines. The news I heard is that the stone pearls can be used in the Bright Water World.”

Ye Zhongming tensed up. So, these pearls were really useful?

“Bright Water World?”

He heard a phrase, Bright Water World?

“En, I am not sure about the specifics, but I heard a manager mention them.”

Ye Zhongming nodded and believed most of it.

Lin Yixun had been trapped here for a long time, so he must now know about news from the outside world. He heard of the Bright Water World but didn’t know about Bright Water Feast. From this alone, you could tell that he wasn’t lying.

At the same time, Ye Zhongming had some guesses. Was this Bright Water Feast held in another space?

He knew that Earth didn’t have such a space in the past, but if you had such an item from the wheel, would it be something like the special wheel space?

But the special wheel space couldn’t be controlled by evolved, what about this Bright Water World?

Ye Zhongming couldn’t understand, so he stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he would find out when the time comes.

“Let’s talk about things here.” Ye Zhongming sat beside Lin Yixun and listened to him talk about the mines.

……………………………………………………………………

The mine started to snake down, and the manmade marks became more obvious. The tunnels here were rougher than before.

Lin Yixun told Ye Zhongming about this path. He said it led to a secret place producing many stone pearls.

But he didn’t find anything along the way. Lin Yixun said that he would know where the pearls were if he saw them, but until now, he had seen nothing. Was it because he hadn’t arrived, or was that person lying?

Ye Zhongming walked a while more before stopping.

He shone the torch and saw some mist-shaped things.

This mist was very pale. If not for Ye Zhongming’s good eyesight, he wouldn’t be able to notice it.

He walked to the side of the mist and tested it with a dagger. Nothing changed. He touched it with his fingertips before moving aside and didn’t feel anything unusual. Only then did he carefully pass through it.

When he arrived on that side, he turned back at the mist and didn’t understand why such a thing existed.

He could only continue forwards. But he took two more steps before his body shook, and tossed his dagger forward.

It stabbed into the wall. He was so strong that the blade entered, and only the handle was shaking outside.

The sound of the dagger and the pillar clashing was just a slight creaking sound, but Ye Zhongming captured it.

He saw that a lizard-like thing was pinned to the wall and was dead. Ye Zhongming pulled the dagger and grabbed the lizard. It was a level-three mutated lifeform. It was the same color as the pillar. Even its demon crystal had a layer of skin like that of an eyelid. When needed, it could hide the demon crystal.

Its skin was the same color as the wall and very firm. Its six limbs had sharp claws, and the tail, which was the size of its body, had a sharp hook.

Ye Zhongming opened its mouth and saw fangs. He tested them, and they weren’t poisonous.

Ye Zhongming didn’t recognize it.

What was this?

He kept the demon crystal and material and strengthened the dagger before continuing forward.

During the next dozen minutes, he met several of those lifeforms. Some were level two, some were level three, and they had no special abilities. They used their speed and strength to sneak attack but were useless against Ye ZHongming. But they were a threat for levels four and five evolved.

Ye Zhongming knew why Black Dog and Lin Yixun’s people had brown marks on their cones. It was from the dried blood of these beings.

It seemed like this dark place was filled with dangers.

Ye Zhongming suddenly put out his torch as he heard some noises. He snuck over and saw humans at the corner.

These were four evolved with steel cones: three guys and a girl. One of the guys dragged an injured arm, held something like a fluorescent pearl, and shined ahead for his fighting partners.

The other two guys and the girl were fighting a cow-sized monster!

Ye Zhongming used the light from the pearl to see that the tunnel ahead had increased. The manmade marks were gone, as if everything here was natural. Stone pillars and pieces were all around. Many tunnels branched into different directions. Some stones even crystalized and reflected beautiful colors.

This made Ye Zhongming think about Karst Cave. This place was bigger and more mysterious than that.

He looked at that monster and saw that its skin wasn’t similar in color to the stone walls. Or rather, it was slightly different. It looked like a crystalized stone. It would be tough to notice if it didn’t move and stood in this cave.

It was actually another perfect camouflage!
