Ye Zhongming glanced at the white dragon horse that was killing wildly in the air and on the ground, feeling relieved as he retracted his head.
After attracting the mutated life forms and breaking through the outer defenses, the outcome was already determined; it was just a matter of time.
Although the white dragon horse was a battle beast and on Ye Zhongming’s side, in the eyes of the mutated life forms, it was at least still considered a half-kindred. The over one hundred thousand All Races of the Universe in the camp were their feast today.
In this situation, the white dragon horse was like a fish in water. Coupled with its significant increase in strength and the death or entrapment of the eight leader-level figures by Jie Su, no one could stop it.
This was what Ye Zhongming hoped to see.
Jie Su was basically standing still, entangling the eight most powerful individuals. After activating a teleportation array, he had essentially completed his goal, slowly killing those eight powerful figures on the periphery and preventing anyone from escaping from his side.
Pao Bai was creating panic amidst the chaotic camp, but he no longer needed to be on fire watch, as it was unnecessary. He was continuously capturing his targets and completing kills—these targets were either mid-level figures from the eight or warriors from the eight trying to escape.
As for Ye Zhongming himself, although he was also in combat mode, his aim was not to kill but to collect various materials and equipment from the eight.
These items had nothing to do with the mysterious mountain belly.
Whether it was Jie Su or Pao Bai, the number of individuals they killed among the eight was not many, so their points wouldn’t be significant. Ye Zhongming didn’t kill much either, so his points wouldn’t be high.
The white dragon horse continued to kill, but compared to the incoming mutated life forms, it was nothing. Based on the previous victory assisted by the Mechanical Genius, the points gained by the mutated life forms should be shared points, which could be directly given to the white dragon horse later, allowing it to advance to a great expert without Ye Zhongming’s "grace."
Ye Zhongming soon filled his space equipment and started plundering other figures from the eight who carried space equipment, happily engaging in robbery.
After finishing these tasks, he quickly moved to one side of the camp, beginning to intercept fleeing All Races of the Universe. He was worried that if too many people escaped, they wouldn’t meet the requirements to complete the trial, leading to unnecessary troubles.
The battle lasted nearly a day before concluding.
In fact, within a few hours after the mutated life forms rushed into the camp, the resistance from the eight had already collapsed. It couldn’t be helped; on one hand, the number of mutated life forms was too great, with constantly new arrivals to the battlefield. On the other hand, Pao Bai played a significant role in paralyzing the command systems of many races, preventing them from organizing effective resistance.
The remaining time was basically a slaughter.
Jie Su, Ye Zhongming, and the white dragon horse Pao Bai regrouped, dodging the mutated life forms while continuing to clear out the encountered warriors from the eight.
Twenty-two hours after the battle began, they were teleported back into the mountain belly.
The three people and one dragon had hardly sustained any injuries, the only serious one being Jie Su and the white dragon horse, so the healing time was short.
"I found something that doesn’t seem right," Pao Bai said after the healing was complete, sharing his observations that didn’t align with everyone’s feelings.
Jie Su and Ye Zhongming frowned, feeling puzzled.
"I thought for a long time and came up with two possible explanations." Ye Zhongming thought for a moment and said, "One possibility is that the flow of time in the mountain belly is different from that outside, causing a time discrepancy between us and the outside world. Of course, it’s also possible that during the healing, our senses were shielded, and the actual consumption was more than we imagined."
