Doomsday Roulette

White Silk absorbed the energy of the spirit woman’s evolution, which was the immense energy required to evolve from eighth level to ninth level.

For White Silk, it might also need that much energy to evolve to ninth level.

However, due to conversion rate issues, even after absorbing the spirit woman's energy, it had not completed its evolution, or rather, it still lacked the total amount needed for evolution.

Before the evolution was complete, it was evident that it could not let the spirit woman go.

Even if it drained all her evolving energy, the spirit woman was still a top-tier eighth-level lifeform, and the energy she contained was also quite considerable.

However, it seemed that White Silk was not very efficient at absorbing the energy from such evolved lifeforms, so much so that after all this time, the spirit woman had not died yet.

Of course, Ye Zhongming preferred to believe that it was the protective measures of the spirit woman as a lifeform that slowed White Silk's energy absorption, allowing her to survive.

But these human evolvers were different; they were awake, injured, and they were not special mutated lifeforms like the spirit woman.

No matter how unique White Silk was, it could not escape the fact that it was a mutated lifeform, making human evolvers the best source of food and energy.

So when Achinas and the others were thrown over, White Silk, which had already tasted the sweetness of energy, began wildly absorbing their energy.

It was like a person who could only eat tasteless food suddenly feasting on a variety of delicacies – who would still care about the bland stuff?

As a result, one strand of White Silk that was wrapped around the spirit woman loosened and joined the feast of fresh delicacies, followed by a second and a third…

In the end, only two strands remained wrapped around the spirit woman, and her position shifted from the center of the entire cave to the ground below.

The few foreign evolvers who could still speak expressed their hatred towards Ye Zhongming in the foulest language, but he focused only on the spirit woman and the magic crystal in the distance.

Ninety percent!

The whole piece of magic crystal had already turned ninety percent silver, and it was just a step away from evolving to ninth level.

However, the troubling issue for Ye Zhongming arose; no matter how he treated Achinas and the others, he couldn’t increase their energy in a short time for White Silk to absorb.

This peculiar lifeform was still lacking just a bit for its ninth-level evolution.

Ye Zhongming’s intention was to save the spirit woman when this guy evolved to ninth level!

He didn’t want to bring over a few more people, but since White Silk was evolving towards ninth level, the energy contained in the seven evolvers wouldn’t help much.

As for the eight-star evolvers… apart from Achinas and the others, the rest had either been killed by the red dress guard in the attack or were still at the coalition's base. Ye Zhongming and the warriors of Cloud Summit were not foolish enough to challenge an enemy that outnumbered them by a thousand times.

Five eight-star evolvers plus one eight-star evolver’s corpse, Ye Zhongming thought that would be enough, but in fact, he underestimated White Silk's appetite.

The weakest Peijia was the first to be sucked dry, followed by Apudu, and then Donis.

Only Achinas and Rustig remained.

Looking at the situation, they wouldn’t hold on for long either.

If they also became dry corpses, the spirit woman, who could provide some energy, would be trapped again, wouldn’t she?

Ye Zhongming felt a headache coming on, racking his brain for a solution.

At this moment, the black cat suddenly made a move!

It bit open its own wound and jumped into the cave!

It wanted to use its body to exchange for the possibility of the spirit woman escaping!

Previously, the black cat had jumped into the cave and even attacked White Silk, but White Silk had not harmed it because the black cat had already escaped, and this evidently less intelligent lifeform viewed it as an “outsider.”
