Chapter 548: Sky Barrier threat
Chinese people always had the habit of leaving a trump card, no matter the situation.
During peacetime, this trump card might be a connection, bank savings, or weapon. Sometimes, it was a two-faced personality.
In the apocalypse, such a habit was kept. The entire world even learned this habit. Their trump cards were all different due to the changing societal structure.
Some left a bottle of potion, some left demon crystals, some left skills, some hid their jobs…
Anyways, each person has had a trump card since the apocalypse started.
The reason why was obviously because one trump card meant a life.
So Ye Zhongming naturally did the same.
His trump card was Heaven Barrier Threat!
Although Ye Zhongming had lived another life, he didn’t know why he was alive again. But he had been through a tough life, so he habitually kept a trump card.
Two months had passed since he returned from the secret realm, and he had done many things. Collect city tax, open the trading market, and occupy Ying City. This made him the Ying City King. Even that talking lady didn’t dare to appear before him, much less attack Cloud Peak.
So, no matter if he wanted to admit it, he had gained many things. As for how much exactly, only he knew.
Everyone knew that Ye Zhongming was rich. For example, his job skills were upgraded, Shengyuan’s job skills were upgraded, and Mo Ye’s was. Yellow Ball had amassed evolution energy; Needle Birds had gained evolution energy. Cloud Peak Alliance was much stronger… All of these needed money.
But was that all? No, that was not all.
With the Ginseng Melons and Ye Zhongming’s Gardener job, Cloud Peak didn’t need low-level crystals. But to the current outside world, such a demon crystal was still the main currency.
Such low-level crystals were the main currency on the trading market.
Even in the apocalypse, these demon crystals were the basic unit.
Ye Zhongming turned them into his trump card.
He had the Gate of Sacrifice.
When Cloud Peak’s basic strength exceeded two stars, he didn’t have much use for level one and two crystals.
But be it the Puxing Town Trading Market or him earning money on his way to Cloud Port, he had actually amassed a fortune. Most of those riches were in the form of low-grade crystals.
The biggest use of these things was to be sacrificed to the Gate of Sacrifice.
Apart from that, Ye Zhongming used many channels to trade for unneeded materials. Along with these low-grade crystals, Ye Zhongming tossed them into the Gate of Sacrifice. As compared to the previous few times, Ye Zhongming was really calm. He wouldn’t even look at the energy line of the gate.
Under such a relaxed state, Ye Zhongming obtained a box. It was still a small one, and there was only one item.
Heaven Barrier Threat.
Ye Zhongming was excited when he saw this unassuming glass ball. It was not because of the normal appearance but because of its name.
To Chinese people, things that had to do with Heaven were really good. Ye Zhongming naturally felt the same way.
But when he saw its function, he scoffed.
Heaven Barrier Threat? It was just equipment that pulled the target down to the same evolution level.
Moreover, the gap couldn’t be more than two levels, and the enemy couldn’t exceed level eight.
If there were no level restrictions, this equipment was a good weapon. Think about how a one-star evolve could pull a level-nine mutated lifeform down to the same level and then kill it.
But it had restrictions. Levels eight and nine couldn’t be targets, meaning seven was the highest.
Ye Zhongming’s real strength was around level seven; he had beaten a level-seven lifeform before.
To such a person, such equipment didn’t have much use. He would have handed this over to the other core members if not for him being busy.
Who knew that he would actually use it today?
That weird level seven beast rendered Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai powerless. They had to admit that it was already around level eight in strength.
Although levels seven and eight were advanced lifeforms, there was only one level difference: the gap between night and day.
It was tough to advance starting from level seven, be it humans or mutated lifeforms. Not only did one have to be strong, but they also needed the average mutated lifeform level to increase to a stage where you could kill them and get enough crystals to reach the next stage.
Difficulty often represents the strength that one has. Level seven and eight, or level eight or nine. The difference in strength was terrifying.
So when the giant beast nearly as strong as a level-eight lifeform attacked, both of them who were at level-seven strength were forced to block.
Heaven Barrier Threat came to use at this moment.
A bright rainbow connected Ye Zhongming and the giant beast. That ocean beast was dragged down to level six!
Ye Zhongming didn’t use a level-seven potion, so he was judged to be six-star strength.
Who was Ye Zhongming? He might not be invincible among level-seven lifeforms at the same level, but he was one of the few strongest. He could face level-six lifeforms without any problem and crush them.
Thus, the light and those tentacles turned from dangerous things into basic skills that he could break with one hit.
The battle turned into a game, and the situation flipped on its head.
