Chapter 564: If you were gold
One wouldn’t understand that chill if one didn’t personally go through it.
Even Ye Zhongming felt uncomfortable.
Think about it: if one day a horn or a tail grew from your body, what would you feel? Now that you were like a monster, even someone who was mentally strong would directly collapse.
Although having demon crystals wasn’t a huge change, it was even less than those whose jobs and skills gave rise to unique body parts, but it gave off a different meaning.
In the apocalypse, survivors slived to get demon crystals. Now that they had demon crystals on their bodies, this…
It was unbelievable.
Everyone had a different expression, but there was one similarity: they were caught off guard.
But, after all, they had lived for close to a year. The survivors who arrived here had been changed by the ocean besat wave. Be it mentally or physically, they were much stronger. They suppressed their fear and started to study why such a thing would appear on their bodies.
After the Ocean King Crown did that, humans had time to adapt. It just floated there and didn’t move.
Ye Zhongming used that time to touch the red demon crystal on his head. He started to think about this matter.
The Ocean King Crown wouldn’t give humans evolution crystals for no reason. He had never heard of humans with demon crystals in his last life. He felt like they were temporary. They would disappear when they got out of this island or out of the crown’s control.
Also, Ye Zhongming felt like the nine wheels were similar to what he guessed. The fact that the crystals appeared from nowhere also proved this point. He would find out in a while if he were correct.
He had to admit that the wheel knew how to play if his guesses were correct.
Moreover, it was a game that killed humans.
“You, do you know something?”
Guang Yao moved over and asked Ye Zhongming.
Although his occupation was special during peacetime, he was very smart and studied a little about psychology.
After allying, he stayed near Ye Zhongming. When he calmed himself down from the terror of having demon crystals on his body, he paid attention to Ye Zhongming. This guy didn’t have any negative emotions. He was frowning and thinking while looking at the wheel and touching the crystal on his head.
It seemed like he knew something.
Ye Zhongming looked at Guang Yao and smiled, “Why not let’s trade information? What do you think?”
Guang Yao giggled, “I don’t have much information; I came here…”
“Now, this has no point.” Ye Zhongming interrupted him, “You are the first team that charged onto the bridge, and you are telling me you know nothing?”
Guang Yao glanced at Mo Ye, who crossed her arms and stood behind Ye Zhongming, “Okay. I can tell you about it. The resistance zone that I am a part of found out in advance. Don’t ask how we found out, as I don’t know. I only knew that a golden bridge would appear, and after entering, we would get to a place with treasure.”
He pointed around and sighed, “But this treasure seems problematic.”
He kept silent momentarily before saying, “I only know this. What about you?”
Ye Zhongming looked away. He knew this fellow wasn’t telling the truth and should be hiding something.
“The crystals on our head should be temporary.”
The moment he opened his mouth, Guang Yao and the other core members behind him eyes lit up.
Even if they walked out from this place, they would still get hunted if their foreheads still had demon crystals. This was not a life that they wanted to live. Hearing Ye Zhongming say that, they heaved a sigh of relief.
“But this isn’t good.” Ye Zhongming looked at the beasts, “These demon crystals may be going to kill us.”
“What do you mean?”
Little Xiu opened her mouth, and she seemed very friendly.
“You must be curious about those items you don’t recognize on the wheel, right?’
The core members nodded. They didn’t recognize half of the items on the wheel, which wasn’t normal.
“If my guess is correct, the mutated lifeforms can spin them. The rewards we don’t recognize are for them. Our demon crystals are their money.”
What?
Not only were the Sky Elephant Division and Elegant Cavalry Squad stunned, but even those from Ying City were in disbelief. But they weren’t stupid; they just thought about it and felt like Ye Zhongming’s words made sense.
Why would humans and beasts enter this place at the same time? Why would the beasts attack so many ocean cities? Why would this wheel appear? Moreover, why did it have treasures that people didn’t know about? Why would demon crystals appear on their bodies?
“Also, did you notice that our crystals and theirs are different?”
With Ye Zhongming’s reminder, everyone compared theirs to the beasts. At the edge of the human ones, there was a golden line that was so thin that you would miss it if you didn’t pay attention.
If not for the resistance zone’s trust that he was in full charge after he arrived here, Guang Yao would think that someone betrayed him.
No matter what, the apocalypse was one where you had to risk your life, and dying was normal. But if you were not only their food but now their money source, the dangers you faced would increase.
One could say that humans had some hope without the demon crystals. Now that they had the crystals, if Ye Zhongming was right, there was no way out between humans and beasts. They would have to fight to the death.
There were hundreds of thousands of humans but many more ocean beasts. If the Ocean King Crown wanted a war, then…
Guang Yao felt like death was approaching.
When everyone was thinking, the crown moved. It shot out a golden light. This time it didn’t land on the humans but on the level one wheel.
