Chapter 194: Flipping heads

Ye Zhongming sat between two large stones. His head was sticking out and he looked around warily.

The team was asleep and they looked like they were very sound asleep.

Ye Zhongming glanced at their bodies in disdain.

Such awareness, such strength and they call themselves elite?

The only thing that Ye Zhongming was interested in here was Candy.

Candy’s surname was Tang and her name was Tang Guo. Because she was sweet and smiled really nicely, so everyone called her Candy.

She became an Alchemist by luck. She got the scroll on the first day and her brother who was much older than her helped her to get a one star evolution potion.

These were what this little girl told her over the day. She wasn’t wary of this stranger.

Ye Zhongming also knew what to reply. He didn’t ask her where her brother got the potion but through their conversation, he still revealed some alchemy knowledge to her and start to tempt her over to his side.

It was not good to do such things suddenly. There was a process thus Ye Zhongming wasn’t in a rush at all.

After a day, his injuries recovered a little but that was only enough for him to barely rely on the stick to walk. He was really slow such that they entire team didn’t get far.

Although Ye Zhongming was lying that he knew the map, but he had been through it twice. As he had ran around a lot to cause the two monsters to fight, along with his past experience, the people in the team felt that he was very familiar with this place. Ye Zhongming predicted two dangerous situations in advance which made this the easiest day for this team.

A few days ago, three of their members had died here.

The dungeon’s geography was really flat. It had hills and forests but not many. The party chose a good spot. Ye Zhongming looked around and didn’t notice anything unusual. He flicked his wrist and a gem appeared in his hand.

Ye Zhongming rushed forwards that day to take the risk to collect the treasure. Although it was really dangerous, causing his current injuries, but he still gained many things.

He even gained many times more than when he tried to scam the two monsters into fighting.

But as these were still stone, he didn’t know exactly how many pieces he could get so he had to deal with them.

He did so very slowly and tried not to make a sound. Ye Zhongming started to deal with the nature gem rough stone.

The atmosphere in the dungeon was always solemn and members of the team would occasionally wake up and look around. After noticing that there was nothing then they would continue to sleep. Tian Jia woke up once and even walked to Ye Zhongming’s side to threaten him not to doze off. Ye Zhongming only treated him like a fart.

Once the party rested enough and prepared to search for the materials, Ye Zhongming finished refining one nature gem.

What he was excited about was that this was a medium grade ice stone.

Basic and Mid Grade looked like a small grade difference but the strength that the nature staff could use was totally different. One defence and one attack managed to block the strongest skill of a level four beast. Based on this conjecture, if Ye Zhongming used Blue Blood Lotus with this mid grade gem, even if it wasn’t as strong as Extreme Ice Dragon Storm, it should be nearly there.

Undoubtedly, the appearance of the mid grade gem gave Ye Zhongming his strongest killing move up to now.

Ye Zhongming walked forwards slowly while holding the crutches. He paid attention to the tracks and the scent in the air and tried to pick up any movement.

The other members of the team maintained some distance such that they could flee the moment they saw any danger.

There were many instances when Candy couldn’t take it and wanted to accompany Ye Zhongming but she was too important to the party and was stopped by Uncle Da and Tian Jia. Only Candy’s middle aged brother came to accompany him in the end. When they bumped into paths that were hard to traverse, he would help Ye Zhongming.

“Candy and your age difference is huge.” Ye Zhongming shifted the dark green bush aside and sneakily kept several strands of grass and herbs in his space crystal.

“Oh, we have the same fathers but different mothers.”

The forty year old man replied. His voice was very low and solemn and it was similar to his introverted personality. But as he knew that he was the one who gave the evolution potion to Candy, Ye Zhongming didn’t really think that he was a coward. The fact that the team was bullying and extorting this guy was not a wise decision.

The two of them talked casually and after they found a Tiger Teeth Grass, they ended their conversation,

This was a material that the numbing potion needed and it was one of the few big materials. After finding it, they scattered to look around and they grabbed back dozens of stalks. Just this alone was enough to create ten bottles.

This made the members of the team excited.

Actually, finding materials was based on luck, especially without a fixed trading area. It was very difficult to create a bottle. Even if you had the recipe, it depended on your luck.

The team entered the dungeon because they got one material in the recipe when they were outside. They were tempted and then chose to come here.

The threat of the dungeon wasn’t very big for this ignorant team and that gave them the courage to enter.

But their luck was quite good and they really found a core material.

Uncle Da was so excited that his face turned red. Numbing Potion affected whether or not their team could kill level two lifeforms. It concerned whether or not they could evolve quickly. Each main ingredient found increased that hope.

Ye Zhongming lowered his head to rest but he also smiled.

Their luck was not bad and Ye Zhongming’s luck was really good. He actually found two more herbs nearby. Along with the one from before, these three could make one recipe! Moreover, he had enough for many of that!

This was a surprise.

.

Ye Zhongming was happy for a while before he calmed down. He thought about it and knew why they were so lucky.

This dungeon was an undiscovered area, only some bold people dared to come here. Moreover, only those lucky ones could survive. Not many people could reach here and survive to get out which meant that the secrets of the dungeon were still kept.

Another reason was that recipes and jobs were at the initial stage and survivors didn’t understand a lot about this. They craved evolution potions far more than they wanted these potions, as such not many people searched for materials.

For example, if this team didn’t need the Numbing Potion to hunt level two lifeforms, they wouldn’t have come to this dungeon.

But the excitement didn’t last for too long before they faced dangers.

Two level two Red Eye Deers appeared nearby. This grass patch was where they ate at. n0velUsb.c0M

“Run!”

Someone in the team shouted and they started to flee in the opposite direction.

Only Candy and her brother stumbled and looked at Ye Zhongming. They wanted to help him but before they moved, Uncle Da dragged them away.

The party disappeared behind a small hill.

Ye Zhongming was calm but he felt his heart hurt. If he was in a good state, he could kill these two monsters easily. Now he had to waste some good stuff.

His hand flashed and Nature Staff appeared on the ground. Ye Zhongming chiseled that Basic Grade Ice Gem onto the wooden staff. To be safe, he chose to activate a fourth of its energy.

Blue Blood Lotus appeared in front of Ye Zhongming. Cold energy seeped out such that the two charging deers stopped and they turned around in terror.

But Blue Blood Lotus was activated instantly. Ice leaves shot towards the fleeing target.

Those ice leaves were too quick and caught up in a blink of an eye. They didn’t react at all and hundreds of holes appeared in their bodies.

Two level two monsters were instantly killed.

Ye Zhongming stumbled over to dig their crystals. He looked at their corpses. The bodies couldn’t be used anymore as they were turned into a beehive and were frozen like statues. However, their legs were fine. Ye Zhongming cut them off using Moon Edge and found some branches to set a fire before he barbecued them.

Level two monster meat, eating it would greatly help his recovery speed.

After half an hour, Ye Zhongming saw the team appear nearby and they were heading over carefully.

As the fire wasn't too big, Ye Zhongming ripped off the outer part of the meat that was cooked and placed them on a leaf. He then continued to cook the raw areas.

When the team was nearby, there was a full bow of meat on the leaves.

“Damn, you are really living a good life!” Tian Jia saw no dangers nearby and also saw two monster corpses. After a moment of shock, he snatched the leaf in Ye Zhongming’s hand and that caused the meat to drop onto the ground.

Uncle Da walked over with a sunken expression and he said coldly, “Where are the crystals?”

The team naturally wouldn’t think that Ye Zhongming was the one to kill the two level two monsters. Their guess was that another strong monster appeared. But the crystals were dug by someone and Ye Zhongming was the only one here.

Two level two crystals, that was a huge fortune for the team.

Ye Zhongming looked at Tian Jia and then at Uncle Da with squinted eyes. He took out those two crystals.

“Here.”

Uncle Da and the others had eyes filled with greed. He reached out to want to grab it but Ye Zhongming held it tightly.

“Unfortunately, you have no right to get it.”
