CHAPTER TEXT:
In an instant, the hill where Ye Zhongming was located fell into the chaos of a storm and bombardment.
In a small confined space inside one of the aircraft, a person was manipulating the joystick and constantly adjusting the crosshair on the screen.
At a certain moment, the person pressed down hard on the control.
A fish-shaped missile with a tail flame shot out from the aircraft and exploded on the Shield of the Water Bottle moments later.
Thick smoke billowed up from the hill.
At this time, the numerous aircraft did not care whether they killed Ye Zhongming; they directed their firepower towards that area.
Only the electric-bellied kunpeng, while attacking, periodically checked on the situation of the humans below. After all, its terrifyingly powerful feathers required considerable time to regenerate and should not be wasted recklessly.
Soon, some aircraft ran out of ammunition, hovering in the air, and the firepower raining down on the hill gradually diminished.
As the smoke cleared, the faint glow of the Shield of the Water Bottle was still visible, proving that Ye Zhongming had not sustained any harm.
The person inside the aircraft furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and pulled out a yellow note.
"The defense capability of the Shield of the Water Bottle is very strong and cannot be breached. I will engage in close combat; please provide support quickly."
After saying this, the person swiftly folded the note into a paper airplane, leaped out of the aircraft, and threw it into the air. The paper airplane immediately transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.
Protected by the Shield of the Water Bottle, Ye Zhongming saw the person jump from the sky, but he paid no attention to it. Instead, he focused on the electric-bellied kunpeng and its associated life forms.
This guy was the most troublesome.
Whether now or later, it would follow Ye Zhongming like a shadow, constantly harassing and attacking him, making it impossible for him to fight or move with full strength.
Even if its level was not high, the combination with those associated life forms was enough to pose significant trouble for Ye Zhongming.
However, without Yangos and Xia Bai, how could he deal with it?
Ye Zhongming suddenly retracted the Staff of Nature.
This action startled not only the person who was jumping down but also caused the mutated creatures in the air to instinctively rise a little higher.
Ye Zhongming flipped down the hill, and at the same time, took away the cascading firepower.
The ammunition followed Ye Zhongming and fell on the side of the hill facing away from the aircraft.
Yes, the direction Ye Zhongming flipped down was the side from which he had come earlier.
Instinctively, the aircraft began to fly forward towards the hill, as only by doing so could they regain the target's whereabouts.
This was a very normal occurrence; even the evolver who had jumped down and glided safely to the ground did not realize that something was wrong.
Until… they saw a figure suddenly burst out from the hill and leap into the sky.
How high can an evolver jump?
How high can an eight-star evolver jump?
Most people wouldn't even think about this question, and those who did would have no opportunity to find the answer.
No eight-star evolver would deliberately seek to confirm something so meaningless.
But at this moment, the evolver witnessing this scene realized just how high an eight-star evolver could actually jump!
Like a cannonball, Ye Zhongming used his momentum to leap powerfully upward.
Fifteen meters? No, it should be nearly twenty meters!
Equivalent to the height of a seven-story building!
The evolver was startled.
While speed, strength, and endurance were things evolvers were accustomed to—everyone was superhuman—jumping was different. Due to the influence of gravity, leg strength, waist strength, and various other factors, the improvement in this aspect was not as dramatic as in others.
Before the apocalypse, a jump of over two or three meters was already world record territory; now, being able to jump five or six meters was already close to monsters.
