Chapter 1021: White Jade Centaur
One hated not studying more when they needed to use the knowledge.
The excitement from finding out the answer had totally disappeared.
If he didn’t know the star map, he wouldn’t know the location of the stars. No matter how smart he was, he couldn’t solve this mystery.
But he realized that since he knew where the problem was, there was just one thing he could do: find it!
How? Ye Zhongming decided to use the dumbest way.
He started to walk backward, and when he bumped into the first palace, he changed directions and walked in another direction.
His method was to draw circles around the Musca.
This was dumb, but it could ensure that he didn’t miss any direction. If the centaurus were nearby, then he would definitely find it.
The truth proved that he was right. After he used this method, the second palace he bumped into was the Centaurus!
It was too easy to confirm as it looked like the diagram on the Afterlife Clip.
He adjusted his breathing and walked up the stairs. He arrived at the palace gate very quickly.
Whether or not his conjecture was correct depended on whether he could push this gate open.
His hands pressed onto it, and thus, the answer was given.
Nothing happened.
He took a deep breath and pushed it.
The next second, he saw the centaur monster in the hall's center.
At the same time as he took his first step, that statue-like centaur opened its eyes.
Both sides looked at each other.
Ye Zhongming appeared calm on the surface, but he was shocked. This centaur should be a very special mutated lifeform, but it was still a mutated lifeform and not an evolved one. But why was it so calm? It looked so cold when it looked at Ye Zhongming that it terrified him.
Was it because it was half a human?
If it were someone else, the spear would have stabbed into their bodies. But Ye Zhongming was different. He had the Flame Sandstorm around him.
Moreover, it was the upgraded Flame Sandstorm.
Chaos Grade Afterlife Clip was clipped onto the blue Sand Dance. The random ability upgraded was this.
The current Flame Sandstorm had an obvious slow to enemies that entered its range.
It might have caused the attack to go from one second to 1.5, but that was enough to do many things.
Ye Zhongming was actually caught off guard today. He didn’t expect this cold-looking fellow to have a mental energy-like attack. Without the Flame Sandstorm, he would have been hit.
But Ye Zhongming was able to react.
He moved and used Quickness. The centaur’s strike was sidestepped.
The giant body and bright spear brushed past him.
He then used Kick and waved his blade, too.
His kicking motion was small. The centaur’s speed was also lowered, so it couldn’t dodge. Its body shook from the kick, and there was a cracking sound. It should be the leg of the white jade.
Ye Zhongming’s kick stopped the centaur that could have charged past.
It also stopped in Ye Zhongming’s range, and his blade landed.
Typically speaking, he would use the Burning Sharp Light skill when he slashed. It could activate a light blade to slice anything before him.
But this time, the Burning Sharp Light did appear, and it was even stronger as Ye Zhongming’s stats increased.
But the key was that a semicircle barrier appeared after. It covered the centaur's body. A butterfly-shaped blade also started to sweep the area.
If someone were familiar with Ye Zhongming, they would know he didn’t use any skill after Quickness and Kick. The Burning Sharp Light was Sand Dance’s own ability, so what was this light barrier?
Afterlife Clip not only upgraded the Flame Sandstorm but also gave it a new skill.
“Light Butterfly Slaughter!”
