On the Bright Star, the members of the Ogre Chain were resting.
For this specially trained sorceress team, they had sacrificed at least fifty percent of their melee combat capabilities, which meant that during battles, they either had to severely injure or even annihilate their opponents, or they had to endure attacks themselves.
When facing the Guardian Beast earlier, it was easy to imagine what kind of losses they would suffer if they couldn't resolve the problem immediately.
Before coming here, Wu Xiu had never anticipated encountering such challenges.
In her mind, this team, which maximized their attack power, was capable of handling any situation and crushing all enemies in their path.
Of course, she had always considered evolvers to be the "enemies."
Little did she know, the conflict between them and the evolvers was only in its initial stages; the main content ahead involved battling the monsters chosen by the roulette space. This inadvertently increased their risks and magnified the team's lack of melee capability.
Other teams within the space were busy with their own affairs, striving for their respective goals, and they had little understanding of the Ogre Chain. Even Ye Zhongming wasn't entirely clear on the depth of this team’s capabilities.
Only Wu Xiu knew that her team was not suited for this kind of combat; they feared prolonged battles more than others thought.
This was also a major reason why she voluntarily gave up the Mountain King Plateau.
The earlier victory allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief, and the way the space waited for everyone to complete the first round before moving on to the next provided the Ogre Chain with some time to recuperate. Coupling that with a few cooling potions, it ensured their combat capability for the upcoming battles.
"It’s best to resolve issues within two spells; otherwise, it will still be dangerous," Ruan Xiao said, standing next to Wu Xiu, watching their subordinates seated on the ground with closed eyes, recovering, and he sighed lightly.
He was quite envious of Ye Zhongming. As a top-tier craftsman, he could equip himself and his subordinates with extremely luxurious gear, allowing for comprehensive development, instead of being like the Ogre Chain, which had to pursue certain extremes, leading to irreparable congenital flaws in other areas.
"Let’s see how it goes; if it’s really bad, we can use the potions Ye Zhongming provided. Each small villa always has various good items; it’s hard not to be envious," Wu Xiu remarked before continuing, "The first two stars we encountered, the first one belongs to Cloud Summit. That’s a bit unfortunate; normally no one would go for the first star."
"And the star ahead of us belongs to the women’s camp, while the one further ahead belongs to Cloud Summit. Just hit the Soaring Crystal, and when we reach the Cloud Summit star, we can leave behind some wealth for it."
Ruan Xiao nodded; from this perspective, the situation was quite good. After all, no matter how much they spent, Cloud Summit would compensate them. Reaching the Cloud Summit star was the best outcome.
"Let’s see what this reward is," Wu Xiu said as she opened the small box they had just received and looked inside.
"This is…"
Ruan Xiao's face showed surprise.
"A blueprint?" Wu Xiu opened a tablet that was part of the reward, revealing around a hundred images and descriptions of mutated life forms.
The two heads of the Ogre Chain exchanged glances, both wearing bitter smiles.
………………………………
The Soaring Crystal was knocked away by the hefty Black Peach, and the higher the evolution level of the individual, the more silent they became. They observed multiple subtle changes in Black Peach’s techniques.
That was a sign of precise control over power.
A fat man capable of such finesse was impressive. Compared to Wu Xiu moments ago, Black Peach clearly had a better grasp of the special stone hammer.
The fog that blocked the Bright Star parted, revealing where the Soaring Crystal fell.
