Chapter 326: Red crystal: level-six
“Is Worker Le away?”
Mo Ye saw the enemy take a few losses before they started to clear the traps carefully. He asked Sister Rong and Lu Yi.
“Yes. They went with Young Master Yun’s father and uncle to Hungry Tiger Cavalry’s base and are waiting for our main squad there.”
Lu Yi was worried; he was not confident about the upcoming fight.
The main force was in Ying City, so few remained. Half were newbies. Although they all had one-star evolution potions, they weren’t too strong.
Lu Yi didn’t oppose Ye Zhongming’s decision as he knew Cloud Peak had to interfere in Ying City. After all, it was the apocalypse, and trust was a huge problem. Although Ye Zhongming convinced the two factions to work together, they had to be strong to prevent problems from happening.
That concerned Cloud Peak’s future.
Ye Zhongming only suspected that people would attack the base. They hoped it wouldn’t, but now his suspicion was real. The one that came was the strong Ying City Jail.
The higher-ups left knew that this would be a tough battle.
If they didn’t do well, they might...
Lu Yi frowned and stopped thinking about it. There was no point. They couldn’t lose the base.
He glanced at Liu Zhenghong, who was playing with her blade. Sister Rong opened her mouth; she hesitated before saying, “Ye Zhongming told you to leave with Worker Le.”
She laughed, “I am not such a coward. I fought and survived until now. I am a fighting scientist.”
Mo Ye smiled. A battle was about to occur, so having such a partner was good.
“Jinghong, are you not going?”
Liu Zhenghong tapped the shoulder of a guy beside her. This was one of the first groups of people that came after Ye Zhongming occupied Cloud Peak. He was a doctor. He also joined in to help Jia Yi and the others clear the Fake Ghost Tree in their bodies.
He relied on his medical skills and basics to become Liu Zhenghong’s assistant. She didn’t leave, but he could. Any technical talents could leave the place first.
“I am afraid you won’t want me if I leave. There aren’t many places to eat to my fill and look at beautiful women.”
Everyone laughed. The nervous atmosphere was turned much better.
Ying City Jail was 50 meters away. Although they paid some price, it wasn’t a big issue.
“Finish the bullets! Then it is time for us to risk our lives!”
Mo Ye pulled the trigger. Cloud Peak attacked first.
..........................................................................................
Ye Zhongming carried Yellow Ball and ran on the road.
Although he considered it, because he didn’t find any of its tracks, he felt like it wouldn’t be a huge problem. He didn’t expect it to appear at this moment.
He paid the price for that guess.
Yangos were here!
Along with it was the red crystal on its head!
Ye Zhongming cursed it several times, but it couldn’t change the fact that it was level-six.
A few days had passed, and Yangos, who was high level-five, had evolved. It was here to take revenge.
It came out from the clouds and cleared Sun Wanhu and his plane. It flapped its wings and smiled at Ye Zhongming.
“Where is your... Battle pet!”
Ye Zhongming felt his head hurt. He fell to the ground and let go of the badly injured Yellow Ball.
Blood flowed from his nose. That teasing mental signal appeared in his head.
Dragons were strong mental energy users. Yangos was already at the top of the intermediate evolution. Although it couldn’t speak like Talking Lady and Red Hair, its mental energy wasn’t weaker. It could transmit its thoughts clearly to a target.
“Fight your sister!” Ye Zhongming scolded. He carried Yellow Ball, who bared its fangs at the dragon and wanted to fight.
Yellow Ball was injured. Even if it were not, Ye Zhongming would choose to flee.
Dragon Race was different from other races. It was impossible to defeat it when you were lower level, even if Ye Zhongming was here too.
To challenge the level-six Yangos, Ye Zhongming had to work with Yellow Ball, Talking Lady, and Red Hair.
So Ye Zhongming didn’t run to his men and Cloud Peak. That would be him bringing calamity to them. He ran towards the core Ying City area. He contacted Red Hair for her to find Talking Lady. It was best if they could find the Rat King. If they all worked together, they could battle this dragon.
After all, no one wanted to see a level-six presence behaving arrogantly in their living space.
A level-six dragon and a level-five dragon were two different concepts. If the level-six dragon did what it wanted, the high-level lifeforms in Ying City would be eaten individually and help it turn into level-seven.
Ye Zhongming knew that this fellow washed surrounding cities in blood. It was more than one. Who knew how many lifeforms it swallowed to evolve in just half a month?
Dragons were like that. Especially the evil Western dragons that often wiped out cities.
Ye Zhongming’s speed while carrying Yellow Ball was fast. Blood Stepping Boots buffed one’s speed based on your stats. As he got stronger, he would become quicker.
But he was not as fast as the flying dragon. Dragon race might not be the quickest in flying, but they were one of the fastest.
The gap went from a few thousand meters to a few hundred.
“Kneel and I will let you die honorably.”
Ye Zhongming gave him a middle finger.
Being able to act cool was one of the annoying dragons' personalities.
Heat spread from behind him, and Ye Zhongming activated quickness to speed up. Not only did he dodge, but he also opened up some distance.
But it only lasted for three seconds.
Yangos was 200 meters away. At this distance, other dragon skills were in range.
As expected, Yangos slashed with its short but sharp claws. A giant meteor whistled down. Its ten-meter diameter slammed down at Lightning speed, so Ye Zhongming could not dodge.
Ye Zhongming stopped. He tossed Yellow Ball behind him, and his eyes were bloodshot.
