The spirit woman stopped her movements, not only because the black cat had been smashed down by a mountain peak that appeared out of nowhere, but also because at that moment, Ye Zhongming's sniper rifle was pressing against her forehead.
There was a dangerous feeling that made her blood freeze!
No matter when, as a special life form, the spirit woman was always extremely calm.
But now, her eyes were filled with panic.
This was indeed not a combat style she excelled at.
As the top-level psychic mutated life, her most powerful means were interference and control. She should have been surrounded by endless zombies and mutated animals, overwhelming the enemy with countless subordinates instead of fighting alone.
Without controlling enough subordinates to ensure her safety, the spirit woman was at best a half-complete being.
However, the spirit woman had always thought that with the help of the black cat, even as a half-complete being, she wouldn’t fear any enemy, even Ye Zhongming, who had once suppressed her fiercely.
The result was that she was still being suppressed, and it was the kind of suppression that left her with almost no power to retaliate.
Why? Why is this happening?!
The spirit woman did not understand. But as a mutated life form, it was her instinct to fear the strong and be cruel to the weak. She was afraid, afraid of the bullet that could come from this gun, threatening her life.
She had previously felt that being alive was more valuable than being dead, but now it seemed that perhaps her and the black cat's two magic crystals were more attractive to Ye Zhongming, who was eager to evolve to the nine-star level.
At this thought, the spirit woman felt a tremor for the first time.
At the same time, her knees felt a bit weak.
Don’t think too highly of the spirit woman.
There is no denying that she is very intelligent, even among the generally becoming sentient mutated life forms, she is outstanding, and many evolvers are not as smart as her.
But no matter how wise she is, she is still a mutated life form, a... ninth-level zombie.
Her high intelligence made her aware of what is good and what is bad, naturally allowing her to understand fear, dread, and submission.
Ye Zhongming's power evoked that emotion in her.
She certainly would not crawl at Ye Zhongming's feet like a battle beast, but she could bow her head. The spirit woman believed that Ye Zhongming would understand.
Sure enough, when she lowered her head, Ye Zhongming lowered his gun.
“Follow me to hunt. After obtaining ten ninth-level magic crystals, you can go wherever you want. Of course, your promise to help me last time still stands.”
The spirit woman immediately nodded.
Ye Zhongming then looked at the Yama Tree.
“I am different from her. I will stay here, Hong is my, um, good friend, and you are my mating partner.”
Ye Zhongming resisted the urge to roll his eyes, waved his hand, and the mountain peak disappeared. The black cat had not died but was severely injured, with several dents on its body, and it didn’t know how many bones were broken. When it looked at Ye Zhongming, its spirit was even lower than the spirit woman's, filled with fear and submission, too afraid to move from its smashed state.
“Sister Hong, have you seen enough of the excitement?”
The King of Cloud Summit shouted at the side in a bad mood, eliciting Liu Zhenghong's signature laughter.
“Little Ye, you did well!”
With this statement, Liu Zhenghong quickly approached from one direction, accompanied by a team of about a hundred people.
Ye Zhongming glanced over and noticed that besides the people he had arranged to protect Sister Hong, there were also key members of the teams that had followed her out of the city, along with a seven-member avoidance squad and twenty gene warriors.
Seeing Ye Zhongming here, the masked avoidance squad saluted him and quietly retreated.
“Sister Hong...” Ye Zhongming frowned, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Liu Zhenghong’s cheerful smile.
