Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 212: Seven Star Pearl

He activated Quickness when he used Flame Blade.

Due to the beautiful effects of Flame Blade, Ye Zhongming slashed visually before he started to move.

In truth, he did both at the same time.

Quickness could double your running speed for three seconds. Two star evolved was quick already; with this speed addition, Ye Zhongming’s position was three meters ahead. The blade that would have hit its tentacles ended up slicing from the side.

This wouldn’t be his chosen plan if he faced a level three mutated animal. After all, mutated animals had higher speed and reaction speed. Even if he used Quickness, with the level difference, Ye Zhongming’s move might miss.

But the Fake Ghost Tree hadn’t reached level four, so its movement speed was slow.

This blade hit where the tentacles and the branches connected.

Moon Edge and the job skill were not something the wooden level three tree could block. Some branches were sliced off, and large amounts of green liquid flowed out, giving a nose-piercing scent.

Yellow Ball and its master coordinated well. After Flame Blade hit, it pounced forwards. It knew its bites and scratches had no use towards such a plant, so it used its body to hit the trunk. The 100-kilogram force and momentum caused the tree to fall over.

Although its roots were out of the dirt, some parts were still on the ground. After it tilted by 45 degrees, it was about to rock its body back.

Unfortunately, not only did the Flame Blade slice off half of the branches, but the burning damage was also the natural enemy of wood. The damage caused the tentacles on the other side of the tree to open up.

When this level three plant pulled itself upright once again, Ye Zhongming’s second skill arrived. The blade light slashed the instance the tentacles opened up.

The difference from the first skill was that this was from a nearer angle, but the outcome was similar. The remaining tentacles were sliced off after the blade light.

Only the trunk of the Fake Ghost Tree remained.

Maybe it could feel pain, but its body shook. The bark covering the crystal danced. Suddenly, it turned into two soft but sharp spikes which stabbed Ye Zhongming, who was about to slash.

Ye Zhongming jumped. He barely used the last second of Quickness to dodge the attack.

This should be the tree’s skill. After its attack missed, the wooden spike turned back into the bark, and its color looked dimmer.

Ye Zhonging didn’t hold back and went to slice off the thing that nearly injured him.

The Fake Ghost Tree’s attacks and defense were nearly all related to those tentacles. Now that they were all sliced off, it was just there for the taking.

Ye Zhongming looked around it warily, and now that it wasn’t a threat, he picked up the branches to look. He kept the fruits, but he didn’t kill it.

Ye Zhongming made up his mind as this thing could be used.

Sister Rong and the others were stunned.

They risked their lives to try to get fruits from this tree. Many of them died, and only three managed to become evolved. Moreover, the three of them weren’t a match for this tree. During the day, they had lost badly.

But this guy could deal with it in less than five seconds… This gap was too big.

He tapped Yellow Ball’s head to tell it to guard this place. Ye Zhongming then entered the cave behind the tree.

His footsteps reverberated. Ye Zhongming ignored that. On the contrary, he felt increasingly nervous as he got deeper in.

He naturally knew what was here when he chose this palace as his base. But he had never seen it personally. Although he was confident, he was still slightly nervous since he hadn’t seen it before.

In his last life, Zhang Dalong occupied this place and began his path to nine star evolved. If everything is true, then could he reach those heights?

Ye Zhongming realized that rather than being afraid that the thing he hoped for wasn’t here, it was more of him being lost and unsure of the future of the apocalypse.

He had a clear goal, but he had no confidence about what exactly would happen.

As expected, it was here!

In front of him, in the middle of the stone room, stood four gachapon wheels!

Four!

The middle of the wheels had gems representing their levels; they were white, black, green, and blue!

The wheels were level two, three, four, and five!

Along with the three level-one wheels spread around, Cloud Peak had seven wheels.

Seven Star Pearl!

This was why Ye Zhongming chose to set up the base here. This was also why Zhang Dalong took this down in his last life and became a nine-star evolved.

If they occupied Cloud Peak, one could easily become a five-star evolved. One didn’t need to risk their life to search for wheels to spin.

Moreover, with enough confidence, you could earn money from others. Let survivors pay fees to use the wheel. You can use this to turn the base into a large trading market. At that time, just the taxes alone could make the base rich.

Naturally, all these were things for the future. Ye Zhongming glanced at the four wheels, and he got more and more excited.

The level two-wheel was still okay. Apart from evolution potions and immunity potions, there wasn’t anything special. But from the level three wheel on, each had decent items. The level three wheel had a card. The level four wheel had a piece of white equipment. Ye Zhongming was interested in the level five wheel with a monster transformation ointment.

As long as he occupied this place, all of these would be his one day.

Ye Zhongming clenched his fists. He felt more confident now when he faced the unknown apocalypse.

Since he saw so many wheels, naturally, he had to spin it. He had many level-two crystals, so he wanted to try his luck.

He used the Basic Elimination Technique, and this level two-wheel started its first spin since it arrived on the earth.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Yellow Ball squatted at the hole and looked at the people outside. Its ears would twitch as it paid attention to the sound from outside.

But this was not what it cared about. It just needed to guard this place.

At this point, a woman ran in with a panicked expression.

“Sister Rong, Lu Yan she… Killed herself.”

The people waiting for the mysterious guy were stunned and rushed out. They followed the girl to the second-floor bathroom and saw her lying on the wall. She had lost her life. There was a pool of blood under her, and her white hand was in the pool.

Everyone felt depressed, and they knew why she would do that. Four of them went tonight, and only Xia Bai was still alive.

It was hard to imagine what torture those four went through such that they all were willing to fight to their deaths.

“Find a good place and bury her. She died for us.”

Cries ran out. Each person here felt lost and afraid of their future. It was the same even when this weird young man came. No one was sure that he was better than Xiao Dong.

Footsteps spread from outside, and many people were approaching.

Sister Rong looked out and saw Wei Xiaoyong. He was leading dozens of people to rush over.

“Find weapons, quick!” Sister Rong’s expression was ashen white. When Xiao Dong was here, he came into contact with a few factions. Now that he was dead and Wei Xiaoyong came, Sister Rong was unsure of the agreement. But she knew that this wasn’t a good thing.

Wei Xiaoyong came from Lu Yi’s side and knew that Lu Yi attacked Jennings and killed three evolved. Both sides were in a face-off, but probably nothing would happen as both sides had similar strengths. Thus, he left a few people to observe before leading his men to the hot springs villa.

Although his reputation was bad, and he was known for being bloodthirsty and violent, he wasn’t a fool. Since Jennings and Lu Yi were fighting, why did Xiao Dong’s side have gunshots?

There were only four factions. Did they have a coup? Or an outside faction attack?

But no matter the one, he felt like his chance had arrived.

Thinning about those dozens of beautiful women, he felt an itch around his body.

Wei Xiaoyong saw corpses in Xiao Dong’s villa. More accurately, sliced-up corpses. It was gory, but he didn’t think much about it; he was more certain about his guesses.

Thus he rushed over here as he knew that the girls were there.

“Sister Rong, where is Xiao Dong?” Wei Xiaoyong waved, and his men stopped dozens of meters out. They glanced at the crowd and saw that although there were a few guys, none were Xiao Dong and his men.

“You don’t have to care, but you crossed the line. You better scram.”

She couldn’t keep giving in, so she tried to make a tough reply.

But they only had three evolved. Wei Xiaoyong thought about it and laughed.

“No matter where Xiao Dong is, I will swallow up the hot springs villa today!”

“Ah!”

There was a cry behind him before he even said those words.
