Chapter 923: Individual opponents
The level five Earth Gilded Cannibal Flowers were one of the things that gave Ye Zhongming confidence.
Although they had many weaknesses, like their slow speed, one-dimensional attacks, and obvious weaknesses.
But they had many advantages, too.
Not to mention their own abilities, the fact that Ye Zhongming had the Blood Wood meant that the seeds were infinite. He could make them a part of his arsenal. Moreover, they weren’t a limited-time summoning item. As long as they didn’t die, they would continue to exist. Ye Zhongming used various methods to nurture them; they were actually his pet. It was different from when he used the summoning technique.
This meant that as long as Ye Zhongming and the Cannibal Flowers had some time, they had unlimited possibilities.
Of course, this was only in theory. Ye Zhongming knew that it was tough to nurture them.
Even on the corroded soil, their movement wasn’t quick. The creation of that soil needed energy, and their size wasn’t unlimited. This meant that the lifeforms couldn’t follow him everywhere, and it was also hard to let them hunt on their own.
It was hard for lifeforms like this that needed people to feed to grow.
Without cannibal soil and stem absorption, it was a problem for them to stay alive.
But when using such lifeforms, he could compensate for their weaknesses. For example, the entrance was hidden under a piece of ruins, allowing them to pass the ruins and get near the entrance. The corroded soil was connected so they could close quickly and tighten their encirclement.
Of course, Ye Zhongming didn’t think about using them to decide the battle. His goal was to cause some mental pressure while also covering the Death King Tree as it got close.
Before confirming what the lifeform that disgusted the Death King Tree was, Ye Zhongming was playing safe and chose to break through from the front. He would squeeze their living space and then wipe them out.
If he chose to sneak attack, he was afraid it would collapse. After all, he didn’t have many warriors and had a low tolerance for failure.
Those people were stunned when they saw the Death King Tree. Seeing a tree with a female face was weird, which was hard for them to accept. But this time was enough to allow the Death King Tree to continue attacking.
Many sharp and thin things pierced through the bodies of hundreds of evolved, like Yellow Ball’s Shadow Forest.
The Death King Tree was unhappy as there weren’t any high level evolved.
It turned its head and saw that Ye Zhongming was on the ruins. He nodded, and the Death King Tree headed in.
“Is Demon Gold... Soul Merchant?”
When Demon Gold appeared, Cloud Peak members hiding behind the ruins clearly saw everything. They were surprised that they were here.
Both sides were enemies, so it was normal if they wanted to con Cloud Peak. They intercepted Cloud Peak’s squad from heading back to save the mountain, which was not surprising.
What was surprising was that they were much stronger than before, whether it was Demon Gold or Green Flower.
Ye Zhongming even felt afraid when Demon Gold looked around.
He was a seven-star evolved now. If his senses were correct, Demon Gold was just six stars. Usually, he wouldn’t put much pressure on Ye Zhongming.
He tried thinking about it, but he had no answer. He led people through the entrance while those Cannibal Flowers were left outside.
They weren’t fast enough for a game of hide and seek inside.
The building had a bad smell which caused Ye Zhongming and those who entered to cover their noses in case it was poison. The team moved towards the battle and very quickly bumped into the Death King Tree.
“Ye, they want to escape. There should be an exit on the other side.”
Death King Tree might move very quickly underground, but when it was on the surface and as it had to fight, it didn’t have a speed advantage.
So, even if it sensed where the humans were retreating towards, it couldn’t chase them.
Ye Zhongming nodded. He pulled Sand Dance and led people to chase.
