Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 551: Picking corpses

Ye Zhongming wanted to pull Xia Bai from the golden light, but his body wasn’t in a good state, and he couldn’t do so.

The golden light spread on her body, and his heart sank.

He didn’t know what harm that unknown light would do to her.

But before he could do anything, he saw the beasts in the grey mist acting up. Their furious roars surged into the clouds!contemporary romance

Hearing their voices, it was as if something precious to them was being stolen.

Finally, some beasts charged out of the grey mist. It was a level seven mutated sea lion. This usually friendly fellow became a vicious and terrifying presence—especially its two cold teeth with unknown ocean beast flesh hanging from it.

The moment this level seven sea lion appeared, it charged toward Xia Bai. It gave out a warning to tell Xia Bai to leave on her own.

Ye Zhongming knew he had to attack; if not, the woman willing to sacrifice herself for him would be killed.

He amassed some energy to jump beside her and carry her out of the golden light.

The shouts from the ocean beasts reduced.

Ye Zhongming couldn’t care about anything else. He rolled a few times to get further away from the wheel.

He had realized why the ocean beasts would appear here.

The moment he carried Xia Bai out from under the wheel, the golden light shone on his body. He felt an unstoppable strength entering his body. His dry stamina had recovered by a tenth such that he could carry her easily.

A tenth of an evolved’s stamina was a sizeable number.

Ye Zhongming touched her waist. As expected, the broken bone there had been reattached.

Xia Bai spent a dozen seconds under the light. If the light could heal injuries, it might have other effects. It was understandable why ocean beasts would try to fight for a position.

As expected, the sealion ignored them and charged toward the wheel.

But a dozen more high-level beasts appeared from around the wheel. The weakest one was level six, and most were level seven.

Ye Zhongming had to carry Xia Bai and retreat further. They were already at the edge of the grey mist.

“What is that?”

Xia Bai suddenly spoke. Ye Zhongming was stunned, “It should be the Ocean King Wheel.”

“Oh.”

She acknowledged and stopped speaking. Ye Zhongming lowered his head and awkwardly lifted his hand.

He was checking her injuries previously and then had to move with her. She was awake, and his hand position had changed. It was now covering half her chest.

He touched his nose, and he wanted to reduce the awkwardness. But he saw Xia Bai, who was not wearing the mask, look at him. That face caused a red tinge to appear on his face.

Ye Zhongming had to admit that touching his nose was a little perverted. It was as if he had purposely touched her and was sniffing it…

XIa Bai smiled and grabbed his hand, putting it back onto her chest.

A soft feeling occupied his mind.

“Maybe we might die in a while.”

Ye Zhongming was stunned, and he nodded. He hugged her tightly.

A few seconds later, the battle on the other side entered its most intense moment.

Each monster wanted to occupy the spot under the golden light. They used their strongest skills and moves.

The level six ocean beast was the first to be killed.

Although it was strong, it was not strong enough. Many ocean beasts were killed. A red-scaled monster with two horns lasted a few seconds in the golden light, and the situation was stabilized.

With the strong healing ability of the light, that level seven lifeform fended off the other injured beasts and became the final winner.

The dozen ocean beasts left the corpses and looked at the beast enjoying the golden light.

Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai were shocked, and they were very nervous.

The two of them knew that they had found a secret.

The majestic snake-like ocean beast spent a minute under the golden light. The injuries on its body were healed in just ten seconds. Its aura started to strengthen during the remaining time, shocking the two of them.

They were familiar with this feeling. It was the same as the Copper Ink Ocean Sunflower in the Taming Test Tube.

It proved what they guessed. Besides the demon crystal on its forehead, a second one appeared!

When the golden light disappeared, although that crystal wasn’t as big as the first one, it was a third of it.

The snake roared unwillingly, but it drew a chain of roars. It looked back unwillingly before walking out.

It walked to the midpoint before turning towards Xia Bai and Ye Zhongming. The viciousness in its eyes was obvious.

Ye Zhongming prepared to use his trump card to fight to the death.

But who knew the monster would just glance before entering the mist and disappearing?

This…

Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai looked at each other and didn’t know what had happened.

Two evolved above six stars were the best food source for mutated lifeforms. Why would it let them go?

“Golden light can heal and increase strength.” Xia Bai’s hand tightened.

“The mist seems to stop them. They can only enter the range of the wheel when the golden light appears.” Ye Zhongming analyzed.

“Each beast leader has only one chance; they follow some rules.”

Xia Bai straightened her back, and her eyes lit up.

“If we…”

The two said simultaneously and saw what each other wanted to do.

Ye Zhongming smiled, “Since we stumbled into this place, we can’t return empty-handed.”

Xia Bai nodded and pointed ahead. Ye Zhongming looked and smiled.

The black patch wasn’t obvious, but the glow was still there. They saw a bunch of corpses around the wheel!

It was as if picking corpses was also a way to get rich…
