The strong aroma had already confirmed to Ye Zhongming that this big fellow was the Insect Emperor Honey!
Although Ye Zhongming's true intention was not to claim this item for himself, he still felt a shock in his heart when he saw this semi-transparent yellow object.
The scent here was so dense it felt tangible; just breathing in casually made him feel as if the power within his body was boiling. It seemed as if something was infiltrating through his skin, merging with this force, nourishing it, and strengthening it.
Ye Zhongming understood that this was not an illusion, but a real sensation, meaning that the aroma of Insect Emperor Honey was causing all his physical attributes to increase!
This increase was very slow, slow enough that even if Ye Zhongming inhaled it for an entire day, it wouldn’t improve his physical condition by even one percent.
But he was now an eight-star evolver, a top-tier eight-star evolver, and his physical capabilities were almost indistinguishable from those of a nine-star existence. In fact, some non-physical nine-star evolvers might even be inferior to Ye Zhongming in this regard.
To raise his physical attributes by even one percent was extremely difficult, as it often represented a staggering number.
However, what about this Insect Emperor Honey? Perhaps it wouldn’t achieve this effect in a day, but what about in ten days? A month? A year?
Breathing in this fragrance for years and years, how much would his physical attributes increase?
Even Ye Zhongming, who had seen countless treasures, instinctively desired this substance.
This Insect Emperor Honey, with just this singular ability, could rival a piece of purple gear, no, a piece of seven-colored level equipment!
Ye Zhongming immediately shifted his focus.
Just as Ye Zhongming was drawn to the Insect Emperor Honey, the emaciated old man sitting in front stood up.
When this person stood up, Ye Zhongming stole a glance back, and he could no longer conceal the shock in his heart!
Although there was a significant height difference, this old man… looked remarkably similar to the three-legged person beneath the Sacred Pool in the Blue Secret Realm!
What did this imply?
It suggested they were of the same lineage!
Wasn’t this a mysterious world? Could it actually be the planet where the three-legged people lived? Had he been suddenly transported to one end of the universe? Or had he fallen unconscious and then traversed an unknown number of years before being sent here?
If it were the latter, then had Earth undergone drastic changes, with people long gone?
Just thinking about this possibility sent a chill down Ye Zhongming’s spine.
The familiar faces from his past life might have transformed into white bones or perhaps left no trace on a distant Earth light-years away, making it hard for him to breathe.
“Outsider?”
At that moment, the three-legged old man suddenly spoke.
Not with his mouth, but directly communicating with Ye Zhongming through mental energy.
Indeed, it conformed to this race's life characteristics—remarkable mental prowess.
Ye Zhongming took a moment to recover his emotions, letting his heart settle gradually.
He felt that encountering another lifeform who was also an outsider might be a good thing; he might glean some answers he wanted from this person.
But before Ye Zhongming could speak, the old man began to speak.
“Whoever comes here to cause trouble will die.”
After saying this, a massive mental storm surged from him towards Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming cursed inwardly, and his body surged forward.
He genuinely wanted to ask this person some questions, but that didn’t mean they had to stand facing each other; it was certainly fine to ask after the other party was down.
Seeing Ye Zhongming not fainting as he had anticipated, a look of surprise appeared on the old man’s face, and his subsequent reaction was somewhat slow.
In battles of this level, a second was enough to determine the victor.
Ye Zhongming reached the three-legged man, and his fist had already swung out. The three-legged man, unable to evade due to his surprise, gritted his teeth and made no movement. Instead, he swung out an arm to strike at Ye Zhongming's ribs, opting for a mutually destructive approach.
