Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2201: Progressed expert

The three people immediately became alert.

They had come out of those caves before and knew what was inside. What they could confirm was that the parasites inside were somewhat wary of the interior of this mountainʼs belly.

When they were closest, they only lingered at the edges of the caves leading into the mountainʼs belly.

They feared this existence, the nature of which even Ye Zhongming and the others did not know.

However, after watching the earlier ʼvideosʼ, the three people and one dragon were temporarily unsure of how much restraint this existence had over the parasites, the products of the Slave Race. In other words, if it could suppress ordinary parasites, what about those stronger parasites? In that video, there had been parasites equivalent to the peak experts of the cosmic races.

If such an existence came here, would it still hold the mountain belly in awe? What if it jumped straight down?

In their current state, even if Jie Su and the White Dragon Horse were both at the great expert level, they would still be powerless against such a powerful lifeform.

They walked to the edge of those sparks and looked out through the gaps.

The vibrations came intermittently. Sometimes there was only one sound, sometimes several. But one thing was certain: the sound was gradually approaching, becoming increasingly obvious.

They looked at each other and noticed the cautious expressions on each otherʼs faces.
But just then, the energy door began to display their scores.

They immediately returned.

What that sound represented was unclear to them, and they could not deal with it for the time being, but the points were real. They wanted to see exactly how many Jie Su had obtained.

This time, the energy door no longer displayed everyone together. It reverted to the previous state of appearing one by one.

White Robe was the first.

His previous points had been 1,027. Since the cost of repairing equipment had all been borne by Ye Zhongming, there was no change. Because this round was again a swarm tactic, his room to grow was not too great. He obtained 809 points, bringing his total to 1,836.

The Silver Order Leader was also a bit helpless, but there was nothing he could do. His fighting style was simply not suitable for this type of battle. It had to be said that White Robe was already better at frontal attacks within the Star-Eye Clan. If it had been anyone else, they might have done even worse.

White Robe thought for a moment and said, ”This time, I wonʼt exchange for anything either.”

White Robe said this for a reason. First, if Jie Suʼs points were enough this round, then they would have a great expert among them, and the next trial would probably also be manageable. Second, Ye Zhongmingʼs transformation ability would also be ready for the next round, so White Robe would not need to make any sacrifices either.

White Robe glanced at his points, secured the othersʼ agreement, and immediately chose to end.

The vibrations coming from the cave had given everyone a sense of stress.

Jie Suʼs image began to appear on the energy door. Everyone watched intently as his points changed.

2,999 points, 3,000 points... The numbers changed rapidly, finally stopping at 4,348 points.

The several people closed their eyes helplessly.

Earlier, they had calculated that, at the current exchange ratio of 1:4, for Jie Su to become a great expert, he would need 1,351 points in this round. And what about now? Jie Suʼs reward points had gone from 2,999 to 4,348. That meant he had obtained 1,349 points!

Just two points short!

What a pity!

Not only was it a pity, but it would also greatly impact their following challenge. According to the way that each round of trials would be much more difficult than the last, relying solely on Ye Zhongmingʼs transformation ability in the next round might not be enough to hold on.

”Donʼt worry. The Furelai points havenʼt been announced yet,” the White Dragon Horse suddenly said, waking the several people from their sadness and turning their sorrow into joy.

They had forgotten that after each round, everyoneʼs Furelai would increase, from one or two points at the beginning to seven or eight or even more later. This round should also bring an increase.

The only question was how much the increase would be.

82,650!

This number was soon displayed.

Some of them clenched their fists, some cheered, and some suddenly relaxed.

According to this number, the points Jie Su needed to upgrade to a great expert would become 4,338!

And Jie Su now had 4,348, already exceeding it by ten points.

All the previous risks had been worth it, and this small group of theirs finally had a great expert!

”Hurry and exchange it. Letʼs see if, as we predicted, he can directly cross that line!”

”Yes, exchange those ten points too. He must surpass the 100,000 line.”

Ye Zhongming and White Robe spoke up one after another. Jie Su no longer hesitated. He chose to exchange for Furelai. With 4,348 reward points, he exchanged a total of 17,392 points. Added to the previous 82,650, Jie Suʼs Furelai now stands at 100,042!

With his eyes closed, Jie Su felt the energy spread inside his body, as if something had dissolved in his mind. At this moment, unlike the descriptions in many legacy advancement experiences of bodily swelling and severe headaches, he only felt a warmth like a spring breeze, along with what seemed like a true, thorough understanding of his body.

Speed, strength, defense, spiritual power... one by one, even without testing them, Jie Su felt that these were all comprehensively improving. It was a qualitative change, even...

His spiritual power at this moment continuously spread outward, like flowing water, spreading from the mountain belly to the surroundings. He ʼsawʼ the parasites in the mountain belly. They were still there, but their focus was not on the mountain belly; they were facing outward.

They exhibited a strange emotion toward the outside, as if hatred, as if anger, as if fear, and as if also submission...

Then, he also ʼsawʼ more caves, more parasites, and... two strange lifeforms moving toward this place.

Those were... Jie Su momentarily could not find words to describe them.

His spiritual power passed over them and continued outward. Jie Su felt that this was a giant mountain mass, so large that it was astonishing. Otherwise, it would not have been so huge.

Finally, his spiritual power spread out of this mountain mass and into the sky.

Due to the perspective, Jie Su could only look in the direction his spiritual power spread. So after heading out of the mountain mass, what he saw was mostly the sky.

But he still confirmed his position in an instant.

The excitement and joy in his heart suddenly woke him from that state. He stood up, with no time to continue savoring the joy of becoming a great expert. Instead, he looked at his two companions.

”The vibrations inside the mountainʼs belly are being caused by two lifeforms approaching this place. One is a monster, the other a humanoid monster. They are not walking fast. It will still take some time for them to get here.”

Hearing Jie Su say this, Ye Zhongming and White Robe were stunned. Two monsters? For Jie Su to be so serious, they should at least be at the great expert level, right?

Jie Su paused for a moment and then continued, ”The place we are in right now is the Half-Abyss Demon Cave.”
