CHAPTER TEXT:
Ye Zhongming was seeing such high-level mutated companion life forms for the first time.
The spirit woman and her black cat were the most powerful companions he had encountered, while zombies and mutated animals could also be considered different kinds. However, the two must have had some connection in their past lives to form such a relationship.
So, how did this sand fox and the two sea buckthorn trees come to be?
This thought flashed through Ye Zhongming's mind, and he shook his head. After spending more time with Sister Hong, even his way of thinking had been influenced.
The combination attack of the ghost eye sand fox and the mutated sea buckthorn trees was powerful. They had just killed so many evolvers cleanly and efficiently, but the movement of mutated plants was inherently very slow. Even though the two sea buckthorn trees could be considered as tree people, each time they moved, they needed almost three seconds. Thus, even though they could cover a distance of ten meters with each movement, it was still not enough to shake off the pursuing evolvers.
As a gardener, Ye Zhongming had a relatively good understanding of mutated plants, and with the genetic life laboratory, his understanding had deepened further.
He remembered the tree people in the laboratory. Although they were human-turned-tree, some abilities were commonly possessed by mutated plants, one of which was a speed enhancement ability activated temporarily.
He wondered if these two mutated sea buckthorn trees had such capabilities.
Captain Wang led the evolvers at the seven-star and six-star levels to start their siege on the three mutated life forms.
Normally, there were four seven-star evolvers and nearly twenty six-star evolvers here. If they worked together, they could take down the ghost eye sand fox and the mutated sea buckthorn trees. However, the battle was exceptionally intense.
These people were not part of a single team and inevitably had some ulterior motives, prioritizing their own safety over everything else. Under such circumstances, results would naturally not come quickly.
“Meng Veterinarian, let your battle beasts engage from the side!” Captain Wang suddenly shouted at Meng Veterinarian, and others voiced their agreement.
Meng Veterinarian's face darkened; he understood what they meant by “engage”—it meant sacrifice!
As the only seven-star evolver without an organized faction, he was the best candidate for sacrifice in this situation where everyone had their own agenda but wanted to achieve results.
Meng Veterinarian whistled, and his three battle beasts immediately began a fierce assault on the three mutated life forms. Seeing this, the others were delighted; they didn't expect this guy to be so cooperative! They all focused on the opponents, ready to attack as soon as they spotted a weakness.
On such a rainy night, they wanted to resolve the battle quickly.
However... Meng Veterinarian's three battle beasts only attacked once using their ranged abilities before retreating back into the woods to rejoin their master.
Captain Wang and his team were stunned and could not help but curse out loud.
With one fewer seven-star evolver and three six-level battle beasts, their pressure increased dramatically.
At this moment, the ghost eye sand fox saw an opportunity. Its eight eyes suddenly lit up, and a nearby seven-star evolver exclaimed before going berserk, attacking wildly around him, hitting both friend and foe alike. A few unwary six-star evolvers were immediately struck down.
The previously encircled situation crumbled instantly because of Meng Veterinarian's retreat and this man’s frenzy.
The mutated sea buckthorn trees, like a pair of twins, quickly followed the ghost eye sand fox in its attack, shooting dozens of wooden thorns to envelop the surrounding evolvers.
Those with high levels or strong defenses could barely hold on, but those with poor defenses were struck down, gasping for breath before they died.
However, humans did not just give in so easily. Captain Wang threw something, which hit the mutated sea buckthorn trees during their attack and exploded in liquid that made the two seven-level trees shudder. Another seven-star evolver wielded his weapon, transforming it into a shadow of a knife that instantly cut into the waist of the ghost eye sand fox, turning its beautiful fur blood-red.
