Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1141: This is bird

Success came with failure; that was the rule of the jungle.

Liu Zhenghong’s experiments produced these Needle Birds. They underwent a similar process, but their previous level was the only difference.

In truth, apart from the Needle Bird King, the other few Needle Birds were the strongest of the group and were similar in strength.

But now, some died while some lived. The slight differences were shown, and those slightly stronger managed to survive.

The two Needle Birds pushed the corpse of the one that died as if they were saying goodbye.

When they straightened their bodies, a strong aura spread.

They had absorbed a large amount of the ice bug gene, which merged with their original genes. However, as the new gene amount was huge, it mixed with their genes and formed a new being. So, the Needle Birds were a whole new lifeform that could adapt to the environment.

This place turned from a dangerous location to their home ground.

The two needle birds didn’t evolve and were still level five. But their aura exceeded that of most level six lifeforms.

Their changes naturally couldn’t be hidden from Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming cleared the ice bugs off his body after leaving the corridor and even helped Gan Lan.

His idea was correct. The Scorching Flame Technique was really useful against the elements here. Whether it was the low temperature or ice bugs, they couldn’t stand up to the technique.

He didn’t even use his other equipment and passed the long corridor.

“Thank…” He carried Gan Lan again, but she knew he was saving her this time. If not for him, even if she risked her life to use the equipment and job skills to escape, she would lose her life. There were endless amounts of Frost Monsters ahead, and the ice corridor was behind her, which meant that Ye Zhongming saved her life. Not to mention a short hug; even if he did anything more, she wouldn’t say anything.

The current world was a casual one.

Of course, it was also a bloody one.

But she could only thank him a little when he saw him turn around towards the path behind. His body was tense, and he was ready to fight.

Gan Lan also looked toward the corridor. Due to the curve of the arc, she couldn’t see the other end. But apart from the mist, there was nothing else.

Gan Lan knew how strong Ye Zhongming was in Linhai. He was someone who could battle a level eight lifeform and come out unscathed. Naturally, she didn’t think that he was overreacting. Since he was nervous, there was definitely some danger.

Gan Lan also prepared to fight.

“What is it?” she asked nervously. She wanted to know because the battle methods against plants and animals differed.

But Ye Zhongming didn’t reply and continued looking at the corridor.

Before she could continue, she heard some noises.

It was as if… A big thing was flying…

Gan Lan’s mouth opened wide as she saw two giant ice bugs in the mist!

She had never seen such a big ice bug before. She held her weapon, and the fire energy around her grew. She was ready to use her job skills at any moment.

Ye Zhongming glanced at her. He didn’t say anything before turning.

She was really nervous.

Although the ice bugs weren’t big, there were many of them which left trauma in her heart.

If two huge ice bugs appeared, how dangerous would they be?

To her, these two fellows were ice bugs. If not, why were they able to pass the mist easily? Why didn’t they activate those holes?

But the next second, she saw Ye Zhongming return to the mist.

“You…”

She said nothing and planned to stop him. The ice mist was the home ground of the ice bugs.

But she said one word before she saw the two ice bugs.

They were two ordinary puppy-sized lifeforms with translucent wings, white bodies, and white fur. Beneath their wings were four short and sharp limbs with a few black lines. Their heads weren’t big but had cone-like beaks and white eyes.

Their bodies hung in mid-air, and as they flapped, her pupils constricted. They were too quick. This meant this was a fast flying lifeform, and the gap between them would be closed instantly.

What surprised her was that the two ice bugs just floated there, and the colors on their bodies changed with the mistʼs thickness.

This… What kind of camouflage was that? They could change with the environment such that they were hidden.

She saw Ye Zhongming reach out.

“You are crazy…” She stepped forward, and the two ice bugs threatened her before she could say a complete sentence.

When she stopped, the two ice bugs landed on his hands and acted cute to him. They would peck his arm.

“They…”

“Right, my battle beasts.” Ye Zhongming replied happily. He had reformed the connection. Of course, they weren’t Needle Birds now; their symbolic needle-like beaks were gone.

“Your…”

Everything shocked her too much today. Be it the armor that turned from green to blue or the ice bugs, they shocked her.

“Your ice bugs are beautiful.”

She should say something to praise the guy that saved her. Moreover, the feeling of finally being able to say a complete sentence helped her to relax.

But…

Ye Zhongming said solemnly, “They aren’t bugs but birds.”

“...”

Gan Lan suddenly felt like it was good to be quiet.
