Ye Zhongming had seen the phenomenon of evolution levels before, but they were all very special existences.
Whether it was the green-skinned demons or the monster encountered in the Cold Bay Rainforest, they left him with an incredibly profound impression and experience.
Especially the latter; to this day, Cloud Summit had yet to research it thoroughly.
It had become one of the few things that left Ye Zhongming feeling incredulous and bewildered since his rebirth.
Now, was there another type?
According to his father, these blowdart dolls were white in color, clearly not green-skin monsters, and definitely not the kind of life form that has space within its belly. Were they yet another new and peculiar existence?
“Mr. Ye, it's not that I'm afraid of dying. As long as you talk, I’ll go in. But if you don’t have urgent matters, I suggest taking a detour. Although it will add more than a week to our journey, it would be much safer.”
Ye Zhongming shook his head and didn’t speak, clearly disagreeing with this suggestion.
Although Cloud Summit had become powerful, the various forces behind them were catching up quickly, and the top ten in the national district were entering a rapid development period one after another.
Cloud Summit had previously relied on individual strength to quickly hunt eighth-level life forms, but that advantage was gone. Other forces could now do the same, and the number of eight-star evolvers in the superpowers was increasing daily.
In such circumstances, it was imperative for Cloud Summit to maintain its lead, and time was very pressing.
This rescue operation had already delayed them for a considerable amount of time, and adding another week was not something Ye Zhongming wanted to see.
Furthermore, although Ye Zhongming had prepared thoroughly before setting off to rescue the spirit woman, some scattered news now indicated that many events had occurred in Yakutsk and were still ongoing. The spirit woman was likely still trapped in a crisis.
Seeing a glimmer of hope for rescue, Ye Zhongming did not want to waste any more time.
In addition, his own time was also a concern.
Since he had come to the northern region, he still needed to head to North America to obtain another crown, which was the Dominion Equipment. The opening day was not far off.
To obtain such an item, one had to arrive the moment the date started; otherwise, they would inevitably be outpaced by others.
After all, many people knew about this news.
To be honest, Ye Zhongming was very curious about both the white tiger beetles and the blowdart dolls, and he was even filled with interest in that terrifying ghost mist.
Ye Zhongming did not believe in some all-devouring ghost mist; there must be a reason behind it.
Seeing Mr. Ye refuse his proposal, his father stopped speaking and immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare some items.
Xiao Xuan and Xiao Min watched and discovered they were preparing some ice balls, which varied slightly in size but were generally uniform, weighing about the same as an adult.
Everyone understood that this was to deal with the traps created by the white tiger beetles.
Such things could be sourced locally; using weapons with levels to dig out a piece of soil or cut through a few massive stones was quite easy.
“This is just a rough method. The holes dug by the white tiger beetles aren’t so easy to avoid. They have extremely sensitive hearing, and sometimes when they detect a living being approaching, they will hide in their tunnels. Once the distance is close enough, they will break through the ice layer and attack.”
His father shook his head as he spoke. If the life forms in the Ice Crystal Marsh could be so easily dealt with, it wouldn’t be referred to as the desolate land that isn’t a desolate land.
These ice balls, weighing around 100 to 200 pounds, were not a problem for the evolvers. With these items paving the way, the Cloud Summit team entered the Ice Crystal Marsh.
Once inside, the feeling was completely different from what it was outside.
