Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 189: Nature Gem Mine

Each dungeon had its own features and each color represented that.

In his last life, humans would represent the level of dungeons with numbers, stars and letters. But Ye Zhongming leaned towards using color.

The entire dungeon had the same color so people with the same idea as Ye Zhongming felt like the color can give one a more direct impression of the dungeon.

Red’s goriness, black’s violence, green’s weirdness, yellow’s intensity, blue’s chill, or…

But no matter how you differentiated dungeons, it was still terrifying. Anyone who survived kept an intense respect towards the dungeon.

The dungeons were like eggs that stood tall on Earth. On the outside was a thick mist and the color of the mist described the main color of the dungeon.

People called the mist Chaos Barrier.

One couldn’t see through the Chaos Barrier but one could pass through it. Of course, that was just for humans. For the monsters inside, the dungeon was their feeding ground and also their cage. Apart from those really strong ones or if the barriers cracked, if not the monsters would have to remain inside.

In his last life, Ye Zhongming often passed this dungeon and even bled in this place so as to fight for the resources within.

But the first time he was here was five years later.

At that time, most of the resources in the dungeon were obtained. Out of all the dungeons that were split based on color, this dungeon represented slight danger.

This situation was changed after a battle squad that came here to hunt monsters had a few teams of theirs wiped out. The elites of this squad found a secret area in this dungeon. It wasn’t big but it was a high quality gem mine.

A bunch of monsters absorbed the energy from the gems and they evolved really quickly. They were the ones that wiped out a few teams of that battle squad.

Gems were a really practical thing in the apocalypse and were something that some jobs needed. For example Smiths, Alchemists, Potion Makers, Lementalists, Mage etc. Some evolved with pets also needed gems to feed their pets.

This caused the price of gems to become really expensive and it was a resource that was fought for.

Ye Zhongming’s battle squad was near Ying City and that was a place with many factions which was why he participated in this battle.

This dungeon was white grade because those monsters turned deep blue after consuming the gems. After paying a huge price and after clearing out these monsters that had all reached level five, the group was able to share these gems.

Dungeons would change and all sorts of magical things that couldn’t be explained by science would appear. For example, monsters reproducing, evolving, eating etc. Humans didn’t understand. It was as if as long as the monsters remained in the dungeon, breathing would allow them to grow and reproduce.

The reason why Ye Zhongming chose to enter the dungeon was because he wanted to see if that gem mountain still existed or if it appeared in the future. Or did it exist and just didn’t get noticed?

Truth proved that the gem mountain had existed just that monsters occupied it or for other reasons, so people didn’t notice it until five years later.

But Ye Zhongming didn’t understand why weren’t there monsters eating or absorbing the energy of the gems.

This was the reason why the team carefully moved here but didn’t rush towards the blue gem mountain.

“Three o'clock!”

Xia Lei suddenly said and Ye Zhongming used his binoculars to take a look.

Ye Zhongming observed for some time but didn’t notice anything. But right away he saw that the bushes at the foot of the mountain had a different color as compared to the bushes elsewhere.

Seeing that, Ye Zhongming knew why the other monsters didn’t come here to absorb the energy.

It was occupied by something and this was its territory! Moreover, this monster was definitely the strongest in the dungeon.

“What is that?”

Liang Chuyin saw that mark and because of her lack of experience, she didn’t know what that was.

“It is a mark left by the pee of the monster!”

The others understood right away. Many monsters had such actions. They would leave their fluids around their territory and use that to announce that this place was theirs.

Ye Zhongming frowned as he was now sure that the reason why the gem mountain returned to an ownerless state was that the monster here got strong enough and broke out of the barrier. Only then did other monsters occupy the mountain and get stronger.

If that was the case then, close to a month had passed since the dungeon appeared so how strong would the monster be? Could this team kill it?

Moreover, this place was deep in the dungeon. If they attracted other monsters, what would happen if they all gathered here?

Ye Zhongming had to consider all these factors as any carelessness would cause one to die here.

“Is this the natural gem that you talk about? The type that can be placed on the Nature Staff?”

Although Park Xiuying didn’t know why the red dungeon would have these dream-like blue gems but she couldn’t help but be attracted to that beauty.

“En, do you see the color? Those are water-element gems. Those darker color ones are ice. These two are natural mines.”

Only then did they know that these were nature gems.

Ye Zhongming thought about it before deciding to lead them out.

After leaving the mountain, Ye ZHongming led everyone forward through a set path. His experience was really useful as he could deduce if the marks on the ground were dangerous or not. He moved in twists and turns but in the grand scheme of things, it was really close to a straight line.

These stunned the three cops who also studied marks when they were in the force. They weren’t normal people like Liang Chuyin and Park Xiuying. They were professionally trained but as compared to Ye Zhongming, their skills were far behind.

Ye Zhongming didn’t say anything at all as it was no use saying anything. Anyone who struggled for ten years in the apocalypse would also become an expert.

Yellow Ball was of great help too. It had great hearing and smell which supported Ye Zhongming’s experience. They spent two days before finally walking out of the dungeon.

“You want to head back?” When the group that just got out heard that Ye Zhongming wanted to return to the dungeon, they felt like he was crazy.

Although they didn’t face any dangers but there were a few close shaves. They saw a strong level four monster leading three level three monsters to walk past them. If not for Ye Zhongming being intelligent and telling them to jump into a pile of shit, they would have had to fight the four monsters. If that happened, it would be fortunate if just a few of them survived. contemporary romance

Under such a dangerous situation, Ye Zhongming wanted to go back. Wasn’t he asking to die?

“Don’t worry, I will be fine. I am a small target and it won’t be so easy for them to spot me. I won’t force my way. If there is no chance, I will come back.”

“I will bring Yellow Ball too. You all see how strong it is, with it here, nothing in the dungeon can sneak attack me.”

Yellow Ball stood up when it heard its master praise it and shook its fur to show off.

Seeing that everyone was still worried, he said, “All of you have a mission. I have chosen Cloud Peak as a base and we are near that place now. You have to understand the situation around me before I am back. What kind of factions, monsters, is there a large scale zombie horde? If possible, you need to find the wheels and see what wheels there are around and what levels there are. But remember, don’t go to Cloud Peak.”

“Okay, that is settled!” Ye Zhongming clapped, “When I am back, we will occupy Cloud Peak.”

“I will go with you, I can block for you.”

Shengyuan who hadn’t spoken suddenly said towards Ye Zhongming who was about to turn and leave.

“Protect Master Le and that would be the same as protecting me.” After saying that, Ye Zhongming led Yellow Ball and returned to the dungeon.

Red Hair’s body shook and her chewing slowed down.

In that instance, the two black shadows charged over. The human shaped shadow shot out several black needles which gave off a cold light in the night sky. The small figure was quick as lightning. It had a pair of sharp claws that pierced through the darkness and headed towards Red Hair’s heart.

Red Hair gave out a low warning. She flicked her hand upwards to knock the little figure. Although there were two cuts on her arm but as she didn’t feel a sense of pain at all, it wasn’t much.

But those marks seemed familiar, it was the same as the cuts on the face of the human who was taken over by the white octopus.

She knocked the black figure but couldn’t dodge the few cold lights. Red Hair was knocked back. The strong defence of her skin meant that the light didn’t shoot through. She took a look and they were a few strands of hair.

She pulled them out and wanted to fight back but that human was next to her and punched her face.

That punch was really strong and her head tilted to the side. The White Octopus that she hadn’t swallowed was spat out.

The black shadow didn’t stop and grabbed the octopus.

In the moonlight, a black crystal shone on the forehead of that human shaped shadow.
