Chapter 553: Why not useful
Ye Zhongming tossed all the useless materials into the Gate of Sacrifice, with Xia Bai looking at him from the side.
Their relationship suddenly developed, but that didn’t make them awkward. On the contrary, things became more natural.
Girls and guys in the apocalypse often sleep together for normal or weird reasons, much less, they have shared experiences.
Ye Zhongming saw that Xia Bai was more natural in front of himself after this matter. As for how she behaved in front of others, he was not so optimistic.
Strictly speaking, everyone who survived the apocalypse had mental issues. It wasn’t bad for Xia Bai to keep her two personalities.
After finishing all this, he felt like the sky was lightning up. The area around was brighter. But there was a wind, and they looked at one another. They knew that the wheel was about to activate.
Ye Zhognming pulled Xia Bai back to that spot.
The two of them had recovered—especially Ye Zhongming. With the Star Absorbing Stan and the Soul Refining Technique, his recovery exceeded Xia Bai, who was shone on by the golden light. In just half a day, he could get back to his peak.
The two of them waited quietly for the changes. They memorized everything useful; no detail could escape them.
Like before, a tornado blew the mist and opened the sky. Moonlight shone on the wheel, and the golden crown shone a golden streak of light.
Xia Bai was wary. She noticed Ye Zhongming run toward the outside of the mist, but he stopped, and his body bounced back.
He shook his head towards her to tell her that they couldn’t get out.
It seemed like they had to think of another way.
The two of them didn’t enter the golden light immediately. The ocean beasts didn’t show signs of bothering about them. They started a fight to the death for the golden light.
They had seen such intense battles but were still shocked by it.
The attacks of mutated lifeforms were cruel, but scenes between a dozen humans wouldn’t be as brutal and gory as this.
This was because the mutated lifeforms were more used to using their bodies to decide the outcome while humans cared about themselves.
It was as intense as the last time, but the difference was that a level seven six-armed naga was standing in the golden light a long time ago. It was so strong that it could fend off several waves from different directions. Although it kept getting injured, the golden light healed it. The other beasts roared furiously.
Either they killed the two-meter-tall naga or continued this battle of attrition.
Some intelligent mutated lifeforms started to regret it. The six-armed naga wouldn't be so arrogant if not for them killing a few of the beasts on the way to the wheel.
Ye Zhognmign didn’t attack. He was observing and calculating the time and the changes in the wheel.
The naga was the last one standing, and it mutated for the second time. The beasts left. The naga wanted to kill the two humans, but maybe the time didn’t allow it; it left, too.
“13 minutes!”
The two of them said simultaneously. They had recorded the time it took since the wheel opened.
It was the same.
A moment later, he signed.
“Seems like we have to leave after benefiting some small wins.”
Based on what he estimated, it was also not an accurate guess. If the ocean beasts headed to the center city, the humans faced at least 30 level-seven lifeforms. This was enough to scare off anyone.
Although they didn’t know if the monsters went to Cloud Port, if they all went there, they might siege together.
Ye Zhongming couldn’t take that risk as he was responsible for their lives.
“Twice a night? Will it happen during the day?”
The truth proved that it would activate in the day, too!
This time, Ye Zhongming attacked. He used the Explosive Mechanic and Crystal Energy Demon gun at close range when those beasts were fighting.
He killed the one in the golden light first. He paused, and the beasts started to kill one another. When a new beast entered the light, Ye Zhongming struck. The explosive mechanic fired when they regained their rationality and prepared to chase Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai.
Ye Zhongming spent large amounts of crystals to kill this group before dragging Xia Bai into the golden light.
This was an instinct. But when they touched the light simultaneously, Xia Bai, who was a step later, was sent flying to the side.
“Don’t come out!” Xia Bai saw that Ye Zhongming wanted to help her, so she stopped him. The two of them recalled that this light only allowed one person.
Ye Zhongming nodded and sensed the power of the light.
He had around two minutes.
When the light ended, he was back to his peak strength. His stamina and mental energy were full.
But he noticed that his strength didn’t increase by much.
But his expression changed. He wanted to see if he could enter a second evolution but was disappointed. So, what was the point of staying here?
The two of them didn’t give up. He passed the Blood Stepping Boots and recovery necklace to Xia Bai so that she could recover. When the wheel was activated for the second time in the day, Xia Bai was back to 80% strength.
The two of them had the strength to challenge these beasts.
Like it was compensating Ye Zhongming, three level-six beasts entered the range. The other seven were level seven.
When mutated lifeforms touched the golden light, they only had 40% of their strength, and even then, they were covered in injuries.
Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai attacked at the same time. After killing the beasts, they won 3 minutes under the golden light.
“You go.”
Ye Zhongming pushed Xia Bai in, and he looked from the side. Ye Zhongming asked her how she felt when the golden light was over.
She closed her eyes and said, “Do you have a level-one potion?”
Ye Zhongming nodded and passed a modified potion to Xia Bai. She used it, and her body changed.
“Level 2!”
Ye ZHongming passed a level-two potion to XIa Bai. He had the first three levels.
“I think I know.”
Xia Bai used the level-three potion and said to Ye Zhongming.
