Chapter 687: Sky Star Beetle part 1
Ye Zhongmings eyes turned red.
It was difficult for the team to maintain such a state under the huge pressure of the dried corpses. If a third faction interfered, the team would collapse, and the equipment would be damaged. Liu Zhenghongs research would be obstructed and fail to break through.
This meant Cloud Peak would lose a fierce weapon like the crystal weapons! Look at the status of crystal weapons now and think about how they would lose gene warriors. Ye Zhongmings eyes turned red.
He tried his best and took the risk alone in Linhai. It was okay with Death King Tree plotted against him after all; it was a level eight lifeform and controlled many dried corpses. Who knew how many weird skills it had? The one attack skill it had was also very strong.
But what was happening with this caravan? Did they have enemies here? Did they want to rob them? Or were they just trying to take advantage?
Ye Zhongming might not have had many ways to deal with the dried corpses, but he did have many ways to kill survivors.
The Demon Nurturing Bee Hive appeared, and the Needle Birds flew at the caravan.
The needle birds werent a big threat to the dried corpses as their poison wasnt lethal, but not to humans. If they got hit in core areas or were poisoned, they would die. At worst, they would lose their ability to fight.
Ye Zhongming didnt care who was stopping him; he would kill the person who was blocking him.
The Needle Bird King was already a level-six lifeform, with many level-five needle birds, the majority of which were level four. The moment they appeared, Ye Zhongmings group was shocked.
There are so many mutated lifeforms with an average level of four! What was their average level? At most three!
Which means that these flying lifeforms were at a higher level than them! They thought back to how strong Ye Zhongming was, and everyone realized that Ye Zhongming alone could kill all of them.
An ear-piercing braking sound spread from the front!
The guy inside had seen the flying beasts.
Cloud Peaks boss! Please stop. We are from Cannibal Chain and have cooperated with your subordinates!
A guys voice spread. A water barrier appeared above the caravan to block the Needle Birds, but considering how fast it dissipated, it would probably only last a few seconds.
Cannibal Chain? Came to an agreement? Thinking about how his subordinates had entered Linhai, Ye Zhongming hesitated before calling the Needle Birds back.
In the drivers seat, Ruan Xiao looked at the flying beasts returning to the green equipment and sighed in relief.
He was prepared to crush this battle squad even if Ye Zhongming was inside!
The faction that analyzed the Feasting Day the most wasnt these squads trapped in Linhai but Cannibal Chain.
They relied on intel collection and sales and provided services as intermediaries. They were interested in anything that could produce value.
In Linhai, the treasure of the Feasting Day was something that the Cannibal Chain wouldnt give up on. They had scouted this place hundreds of times and also went around to find news.
Why were there so many survivors this time, and why did they know the exact time of Feasting Day? It was because many of them received information about Linhai and the Feasting Day.
Cannibal Chain was the one who spread the news.
They wanted the treasure this time.
The legend of the Life Brain was too attractive, and Ruan Xiao himself was greedy.
For this feasting day, to achieve his goal, he spread the news to attract more people to Linhai. His wishes were for them to be the cannon fodder so that they could fight the Death King Tree, and he could benefit.
Working with the Ying City Alliance was just a lie. Some of the news he gave them was also fake, intended to misdirect them to fight with the Death King Tree.
They had given Ye Zhongming a high evaluation, but he analyzed it. If Ye Zhongming was alone, his subordinates and he could deal with him.
Thus, he got excited when he was sure the Death King Tree was chasing Ye Zhongming. He even felt like things were too simple. He ordered the caravan to drive over. His eyes locked on the black bag that Ye Zhongming carried.
Ruan Xiao knew there was a high chance that the Life Brain was inside. If not, the tree wouldnt be so emotional to chase him.
But although his wishes were good, reality was cruel.
Ye Zhongming summoned many high-level flying beasts with a wave of his hand, the strongest of which was on the same level as Ruan Xiao.
The mutated beasts alone were enough to trouble Cannibal Chain, much less Ye Zhongming, who looked like he was going to kill them.
Ruan Xiao knew he couldnt kill Ye Zhongming under such a situation. Even if he couldnt defeat Cannibal Chain, he could retreat. If he failed to kill him, even if he got the Life Brain, Ruan Xiao would not be confident in facing the guy who would lead Ying City to take revenge.
Then, everything would be meaningless.
Ruan Xiao wasnt a stubborn old man with a clear merchants mind. He would change his thoughts when he realized things werent going well.
One had to say that he was a person that could adapt.
Since he couldnt defeat them, then he shall work together. It wasnt much. If he had a chance, he could still change sides.
Your men and ours entered Linhai and didnt use this direction. I will bring you to meet with them! Ruan Xiao jumped out of the car and raised his hands as he walked over.
I am a partner, and your subordinates will agree, " Ruan Xiao said, then looked at the dried corpses still attacking them and the Death King Tree rushing over. He said solemnly, But I think you need my help now!
He waved to the back. Hundreds of warriors jumped out of the caravan, all holding guns. They started to fire at the dried corpses.
To show you my sincerity, Boss Ye, I am willing to help you deal with that fellow for free. But you would have to pay the next time.
Ruan Xiao smiled and took out a small box. He opened it calmly, and a dozen finger-sized bugs flew out. They had long feelers that were a mix of white and black and wore bright black armor.
The enemy of trees-- Sky Star Beetle!
