Chapter 72: Free meal
Ye Zhongming chased the Monster Baby got a long time and finally saw signs of it near the square of the lake. This fellow was now off the body of the Purple Cloud Ant and it was biting a chicken that it had got from some other place.
So greedy?
Ye Zhongming didn’t know what its personality was. He usually participated in the outer areas of missions so he had no chance to observe this Monster Baby up close.
He glanced at its injured shoulder and it was actually smooth, one couldn’t see any injuries at all.
The Monster Baby suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Zhongming. It let go of the chicken and started to shout.
This shout was much softer than that of the Chain Prisoner. It was like the difference between a horn and a mosquito.
The Purple Cloud Ant beside it charged at him when it heard it roar.
Yi?
Only then did he realise that this Purple Cloud Ant was an ant general!
Purple Cloud Ants were usually level one beasts. Be it Blade Ants, Mage Ants or Needle Ants, they were all level one. But there were high level ones out of the group like this General Ant, it was a level two beast. Based on what Ye Zhongming knew, there were King Ants which were level three. The Ant Queen was level four and might even be higher than that.
In the last life, no human had seen the Purple Cloud Ant Queen so their estimates of its level were just guesses.
Who knew that this Monster Baby could control a level two General Ant.
Ye Zhongming was tense and when the General Ant was a few meters away, he sidestepped to the side.
In the next second, a thin bone needle flew toward where he was standing.
“Bone Needle Flick!”
This was one of its talent skills!
This was a really obscure move. Although the needles weren’t long but they were really powerful, able to pierce through centimeter-long metal boards.
The General Ant was stunned when it noticed that the human could dodge its skill. It charged fiercely just to hide its sneak attack.
But it didn’t sense any high level evolution aura from his body, making it even angrier. On the sides of its body which were thicker than normal Purple Cloud Ants, two transparent wings appeared and it started to glide in the air. Its speed was many times that of when it was on the ground.
But the Purple Cloud Ant miscalculated once more. While Ye Zhongming dodged, he moved the Moon Edge from his left hand to his right which could only barely twitch. His left hand pulled the arm shield off which he tossed into the air. The ant just flew up but it was hit and fell back to the ground.
Although Ye Zhongming was a one star evolved, but he ate the modified evolution potion and also ate the Ape Turtle’s meat. His body was seven times that of normal people and he was much stronger than normal level-one experts. That shield toss wasn’t light and one of the general’s wings twisted badly after being smashed. One of its legs was also broken which caused it to roll on the ground in pain.
The rule of the apocalypse was to kill someone when they were down. Ye Zhongming slid beside it, placing Moon Edge to his left hand and waving out, slicing all the legs on one side of the ant.
Dark green liquid flowed out of its broken limbs and the Purple Cloud Ant General’s cries became softer.
Ye Zhongming’s body flashed once more. This was his 4th movement. He dodged the large amounts of acid from its mouth before he waved Moon Edge once more. His 5th movement was the same as the last one, slicing off all the legs on the other side.
At this point, this Ant General lost all its mobility and was just there to be killed.
He pulled Moon Edge out from the general’s head and dug out its demon crystal.
The half eaten chicken in the Monster Baby’s hands fell to the ground. It was as if it had seen something unbelievable.
Suddenly, it started to shout. It didn't care if others could understand it at all, it looked like it was just trying to express something.
Ye Zhongming walked quickly towards it. What he needed to do was to slice its head off and then snatch the golden bag.
In the last life, that was what people did.
When Monster Baby saw Ye Zhongming speed up instead of stopping, it screamed before running backwards. But its small legs meant that its speed was even slower than primary school students. It ran a few steps and after realising that it was useless, it stopped.
It did something that shocked Ye Zhongming.
It grabbed its golden bag and dug into it. It took something out and smashed it at Ye Zhongming.
This shocked him. He thought that he didn’t know much about the Monster Baby so he had some killing move.
But its strength was too small so that thing flew really slowly. Ye Zhongming saw that it was a scroll so he didn’t dodge it. He grabbed it and held it in his hands.
“Basic Summoning Technique!”
Damn!
Ye Zhongming’s eyes opened so wide that they were about to pop out of their sockets!
That scroll was a skill scroll! It was a really popular summoning skill!
That Monster Baby tossed out a skill!?
Ye Zhongming looked as the Monster Baby wanted to toss another thing out. He felt like this fellow should be called heaven as only heaven will give you a free meal...
He didn’t hesitate at all and just learned it right away.
His mind felt a little dizzy and something appeared. Ye Zhongming learned his second skill after Basic Elimination Technique. n0VElusb.c0M
Ye Zhongming wasn’t a fool so he continued to move forwards. It threw another thing that Ye Zhongming grabbed. It was a job advancement scroll.
In his last life how much did he spend on this? Now it was being tossed at him like it was trash! The comparison was so fresh.
“Is there more? I want more!”
Pa!
It threw something else. Ye Zhongming took it and it was a one star evolution potion. It was not as good as the last two but not bad.
“Again!”
The Monster Baby listened and threw something else. At the same time, a cunning look flashed in its eyes.
Ye Zhongming wanted to grab it but he felt that something wasn’t right. His body pounced out and the moment he reached the ground, that thing the Monster Baby tossed exploded and left a giant hole!
As the dust settle, a figure flashing green stood up from the hole!
