Doomsday Roulette

Chapter 1348: The First Step 🐾

Published: February 12, 2025

In this place, any roulette equipment is useless, but spatial equipment can still be utilized.

The Demon Servicing Beehive, although classified as roulette equipment, is also a piece of spatial-type gear. While it has lost the ability to nurture and incubate mutated life, it can still be opened at will.

The two ice birds can be released. Previously, Ye Zhongming had sensed a strong desire from the two battle beasts. Since entering this area, they had been eager to come out because they had discovered food—food they really liked.

At first, Ye Zhongming was unsure of what the ice birds wanted to eat, as he was completely unfamiliar with this place. Eventually, he confirmed that what they desired were heyma, a type of insect.

With equipment and skills unusable, only his formidable physical abilities remained, so Ye Zhongming had to be cautious. Since the ice birds decided the insects were edible, he let them take a shot.

When the Indy squad suddenly saw the two ice birds appear, they were startled. The ice birds were now seven-star battle pets, and the pressure they exuded was not something these adventurers, whose physical qualities barely ranked as three-star evolvers, could compare to. They also had no idea just how powerful these ice birds were; all they knew was that they were stronger than themselves.

Immediately, the looks in the eyes of the six people shifted as they looked at Ye Zhongming. No wonder he insisted on coming here despite their warnings; he clearly had something to rely on. What puzzled them was where these two beautiful white birds had come from.

The ice birds circled in the air. Although there was tempting food in the soil below, they didn’t lose their rationality. After glancing around to ensure there was no danger, they focused on the fallen leaves and then looked toward their master.

Ye Zhongming considered for a moment and signaled for them to enter the area of the three Red Scarf Trees.

The two ice birds immediately flew in, not only entering the range but also directly flying to the very center.

This caused the Indy team of adventurers to exclaim in surprise.

"Ye, bring them back quickly! That place is very dangerous; those heyma don’t just have strong biting power, they can fly briefly too!"

Lan Jin pulled Ye Zhongming directly; she didn’t want these two ice birds to perish here. In her heart, as long as these two were around, many other tasks could be accomplished, and making money was a sure thing, but not here; the heyma were simply too numerous and too dangerous.

Ye Zhongming smiled and didn't respond, as he was communicating with the ice birds in his heart.

The two creatures chirped excitedly, filled with confidence.

On the ground, the Insect Towers appeared in numbers far greater than when the Indy squad had entered previously.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the adventurers turned grim. They realized how fortunate they were that only one person had died before; these insects had never engaged with them before.

"Do we need to go help?"

Indy swallowed hard. Although his trembling body betrayed his inner fear, his mouth was suggesting to Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming shook his head, thinking that Indy was a pretty decent person.

The ice birds, upon seeing so many Insect Towers, became very excited. They scanned the ground, and after circling once, they plunged down.

At the same time, some Insect Towers suddenly exploded, and swarms of insects flew into the sky, charging towards the two ice birds.

The Indy squad outside felt an immense tension; they were almost afraid to look. They had long lost count of how many times they had heard stories of strong adventurers being engulfed by swarms of insects.

However, what happened next left them astounded.

The two ice birds not only showed no fear but instead charged right into the swarm, their sharp beaks darting left and right, swallowing the insects whole.

Joy appeared on the faces of all the Indy team members, even the one who had previously looked down on Ye Zhongming didn’t want these two powerful battle pets to die here.
