Doomsday Roulette

The searchlight lit up again, shining on a spot not far from the Flame Lion, where a humanoid lizard that was a much larger replica of the pattern appeared.

"Insect man?"

Ye Zhongming gritted his teeth, thinking that the Devil's Bet Table was indeed as sinister as it sounded, and now insect men were emerging.

This was a type of life that was particularly bothersome during the apocalypse.

In his previous life, Ye Zhongming was killed by a lurker, which was essentially a type of insect man, but generally, people were used to calling them damned bugs.

These bugs had very strange abilities, making it difficult for survivors to defend against them. Under the same evolution level, people would rather encounter a mutated zombie or monster than an insect man.

This humanoid lizard was the same; being a level 3 mutated lifeform, Ye Zhongming would prefer to face another Flame Lion than deal with this annoying creature that was covered in sharp bone blades and could spit corrosive liquid.

"Still a level 3?"

Little Tiger, behind him, looked somewhat stunned. He had previously only fought a level 2 mutated lifeform, and that experience of being beaten down left him still feeling uneasy. Now, two level 3 beings had emerged, making even the carefree Little Tiger tense up.

"Be careful of the Flame Lion's fire; getting hit can be troublesome. This black insect man, watch out for the acid it spits; it's highly corrosive. Its body is covered in black bone blades that can open up at any moment; don’t be deceived by its current appearance,"

Ye Zhongming rapidly advised the group on what to watch out for, hoping it would help them understand during the upcoming battle.

At that moment, the last white square slowly came to a stop, and Ye Zhongming's eyes lit up because the pattern on this square was exactly that of the Screaming Cage!

Ye Zhongming felt a surge of excitement; he hadn’t expected to hit a one-in-nine chance!

You should know that basic exclusion techniques weren’t easy to use on the Devil's Bet Table!

Gritting his teeth, Ye Zhongming suddenly turned around and threw something out of the space crystal. It was the piece of metal Osmium he had retrieved earlier.

Although he had cut a small piece to mix into Shengyuan's metal giant shield, this piece was still very heavy. Ye Zhongming pointed, and the metal Osmium transformed in mid-air into a metal humanoid roughly the height of an average person, which then slammed into the ground, blocking the path of the level 3 insect man.

“Durability 500, duration 8 minutes!”

Ye Zhongming spent nearly 200 points of mental energy, summoning his strongest basic summoning technique creation to date.

But that was not the end; he pointed to a raised area of the ground nearby. This was a large rock buried underground, and with another 200 points of mental energy spent, a stone giant stood up from there, roaring as it charged towards the Flame Lion.

Having spent 400 points of mental energy in one go, Ye Zhongming’s mental energy had dropped to a dangerous level based on previous situations, but this time he saw no signs of anything unusual. He pointed again at the ground next to Shengyuan, and a soil giant stood up, opening its arms and blocking in front of everyone.

A total of 600 points of mental energy had been consumed in an instant.

Seal: Flame Blade!

Ye Zhongming’s most powerful attack skill descended from the sky, heading straight for the insect man.

If it had been the previous Ye Zhongming, he would have probably already overdrafted his mental energy and collapsed on the ground. But today, he had summoned three powerful creatures and used the extremely energy-consuming radiant seal blade master skill, yet he was still standing there just fine.

This was due to the brain worm.

After some special treatment, the brain worm had transformed into brain worm powder, which was Ye Zhongming’s greatest gain from the new district base, aside from the tens of thousands of magic crystals.

The biggest benefit of the insect powder was its ability to increase mental energy.
