Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 383: 20 thousand demon crystals

Ye Zhongming was a four-star evolved before he entered the Secret Realm. But as he used the modified potions, his real strength was no different from those that had reached five. Along with his job and skills, he wasn’t afraid when he faced ordinary level-five beings.

But after he entered the secret realm, his strength was suppressed, and he could only use around four-star strength. He was on the level of Kai Nuo, Di Nuo, and Ah Tao.

When they used the evolution potion, their strength increased. If one excluded equipment, they were much stronger than Ye Zhongming.

But after he learned the Scorching Flame Technique, he was surprised to find that the suppression was gone.

Ye Zhongming knew that this suppression was not on only himself but anyone from Earth. If Han Yihao and his wife’s Blue Bay Battle Squad weren’t suppressed, they wouldn’t have lost so badly.

But the couple who had entered the Secret Realm far earlier than Ye Zhongming were still being suppressed. Before Ye Zhongming went out, the three even talked about this problem.

The suppression disappeared because he had cultivated the Scorching Flame Technique and maybe the Soul Refining Technique.

Why would the suppression disappear after he cultivated skills from the Secret Realm? Did… This place recognized him as someone from the Secret Realm. And not a stranger from another space?

This thought terrified him.

If learning techniques in the Secret Realm could make him recognized by the realm, did that mean he would get out of the control of the wheel to a certain extent?

Ye Zhongming thought about it. He was sure that there was only one way to prove his thoughts… He decided to give it a try.

The first flying monster that Posthumous people introduced was the Needle Bird. It was fist-sized. A sharp beak occupied half its face even if it was so small. The demon crystal occupied half of the remaining. This made this thing look very weird.

Ye Zhongming and Miya observed for some time, and both saw that each other was hesitating.

Although their levels weren’t high, most were level one, some were level two, and a few were level three, but there were too many. So many that it made them feel numb.

In just that while, Ye Zhongming estimated that there were at least 20 thousand of them!

Twenty thousand meant that… Even if some were level two, this portion was in the thousands. The very few level three ones were around a few hundred. This didn’t include the few dozen level four and even level five bird kings.

If they alerted them, they would get attacked from all around!

“Why not let’s head to the Stem Bug.” Miya wanted to retreat. These needle-birds weren’t on their menu, so they didn’t pay much attention to them. Moreover, looking at their number and level, even if they could be eaten, no tribe would try to attack them. Even those large-sized tribes wouldn’t dare to.

Think about it: even if you kill them all, you won’t get much meat, and many people would die for it. No one would do such a bad business.

But Miya was pulled back by Ye Zhongming.

“We don’t have much time, and it takes at least two days to get there. We might not have time to get back to the Barbarian Copper Monsters. Moreover, we can’t ensure that the Stem Bugs will work.”

Ye Zhongming cultivated along the way. Apart from spending two days cultivating the Scorching Flame Technique, each time after that, he cultivated would take a few hours to half a day. He had spent many days.

Since that was the case, why not choose this small fellow?

As for numbers, if Ye Zhongming went all out, it wasn’t a huge issue.

“Wait for me!”

Ye Zhongming jumped out of their hiding spot and charged towards the nest. Miya failed to hold him back, and her face flushed red from anxiousness; the Needle Birds noticed Ye Zhongming. She bit her teeth and charged with her bow.

She didn’t expect Ye Zhongming to whistle. Seeing his arrogance, the Needle Birds replied to him with their numbers.

Ye Zhongming looked at these flying monsters. He was gauging their speed. He suddenly heard some movement, and when he turned his head, Miya was not far from him.

Problematic!

Ye Zhongming was slightly angry, but at the same time, he was touched. He knew that Miya wanted to help him.

“Really… Problematic!” Ye Zhongming grumbled. He pulled her into his arms and stuck Nature Staff to the ground.

Blue Blood Lotus was activated, and the lotuses flew toward the Needle Birds.

These level-two monsters naturally weren’t able to block. Each second, a huge bunch of Needle Birds would be hit.

The first Ice gem shattered. Ye Zhongming placed the second, then the third and fourth…

Miya had already forgotten how shy she felt being hugged by a guy. She was stunned by the ice crystal lotuses, and her mind was in a daze.

One person… Could deal with so many demon monsters?

Although she had seen this move before, there were too many Needle Birds this time. Blue Blood Lotus lasted a long time, which was more shocking than before. She finally believed that the thousand Barbarian Copper Beasts weren’t much. As long as he had these blue gems, ten thousand weren’t a problem!

Although these Needle Birds were being killed, there were too many. The lotuses had a range, so many arrived around Ye Zhongming. Apart from this attack passage, he was quickly surrounded.

He used the Protection Energy Shield. This ring he got from Ying City Jail’s Meng Lin was useful. Ye Zhongming and Miya were protected. The sharp beaks hit the energy shield and gave a clanging sound.

Three seconds the shield lasted three seconds before it shattered from their attacks.

Ye Zhongming used the Intermediate Summoning Technique to summon several Earth Giants to protect them. Ye Zhongming specifically used more mental energy. Their durability was over 200, and that blocked the Needle Birds.

He crushed the demon crystal and used the Green Necklace’s ability to trade for mental energy. He summoned the next batch of Earth Giants.

No choice. Although their attacks weren’t strong, but they were enough to break the defenses. Each attack would consume some durability. 200 durability couldn’t even last for more than 5 seconds!

Ye Zhongming placed the Explosive Mechanic down. This small machine shot a terrifying laser to clear a whole area.

He kept the Mechanic that was on cooldown. He tossed several Basic Lightning Techniques and hit another batch of them.

But he couldn’t continue his attacks, which consumed too much mental energy. He had to ensure there were more earth giants to keep Miya and himself safe.

Although one was level three and one was level four, ants could bite an elephant to death. If they allowed these Needle Birds to attack, they wouldn’t be able to hold on for too long.

Both sides attacked each other! Whoever couldn’t hold on would die!

Fortunately, Ye Zhongming had enough nature gems. After spending 20 Basic Ice element stones, most Needle Birds were killed. Those attacking him were the Bird King and a few hundred men.

Without strength suppression, Ye Zhongming stopped defending and chose to attack. He used the Light Seal Blademaster’s skills, and these remaining birds lasted for a few minutes.

The Bird King was captured and placed into the Demon Bee Raising Nest, and he received a notification.

“Suitable; please drip a few drops of blood—50 hours to conversion. Placing similar species can reduce the conversion time. After converting, they will become Bee Hive Worker Bees!”

Ye Zhongming looked at the dead or on the verge of death Needle Bees. He felt tired when he thought about how they had to either place them in the hive or dig the demon crystals.
