Doomsday Roulette

Chapter

"Still One in Two"

This person entered Cloud Summit Villa with a clear purpose: to take away the Yama Tree.

Moreover, all of his abilities and techniques were plant-based. Such a master could only be found among the Gu Rui Star Clan.

Ye Zhongming had previously been uncertain about how obsessed the representatives of the plant-based faction from the All Races of the Universe were with the Yama Tree. During the time since the novice battlefield ended, they had displayed calmness, not expressing any intention to have the Yama Tree come to their side.

Ye Zhongming thought they had given up.

After all, no matter how well the Yama Tree performed, it only had a few thousand fuleira. For the Gu Rui Star Clan, that might not even qualify as a competent warrior; what they were interested in was merely its potential.

But… was there really no potential newcomer among the members of the Gu Rui Star Clan? Ye Zhongming didn't believe that; he was sure they not only had such individuals but likely many.

So when they came once and you didn't let them take the person, what would happen?

Typically, the Gu Rui Star Clan was quite low-key.

Who would have thought that a life suspected to be from the Gu Rui Star Clan would still show up?

They must have an interest in the Yama Tree that Ye Zhongming couldn't comprehend.

The intruder defeated the lai lai bird with one strike, enveloped by Liang Chuyin's weakened body and the agility-reducing effect of the smoke. In mere seconds, he overwhelmed the white dragon horse, which was fortified by the comprehensive water chain, enduring the combined attack of the Assault Camp's red dress guard that was equivalent to a peak expert's assault. If Ye Zhongming hadn't returned in time, relying on his transformation power and the life-and-death strike of the mountainous giant dragon to achieve victory, he would have taken the Yama Tree away.

This person was certainly not a peak expert, but in terms of strength, in Ye Zhongming's view, he was at least above eighteen thousand fuleira.

With the help of the formation, the entire Cloud Summit was able to keep him here.

If this life was from the Gu Rui Star Clan, he should be a renowned top expert among them.

If that were the case, his death would definitely leave behind a tree ring!

A recently deceased tree ring from the Gu Rui Star Clan would be far more precious than the one he had found for the Yama Tree, which had probably been stored for an unknown period.

Unfortunately… there was none.

No tree ring!

So the conclusion was… this person was not from the Gu Rui Star Clan?

This conclusion left Ye Zhongming somewhat disappointed yet relieved.

The disappointment stemmed from the fact that without a tree ring, the Yama Tree naturally couldn't absorb it. It had crazily absorbed the power within that tree ring during its previous battle to enhance the power of nature, but it had already consumed most of it. There wasn't much left for it to digest slowly. If there was something to supplement it, that would be very beneficial to the Yama Tree.

The relief came from the pressure of the Gu Rui Star Clan. If this person were from the Gu Rui Star Clan and such a master died in Cloud Summit Villa, that colossal race would undoubtedly not let it go easily. Ye Zhongming might not survive until the dwarves found him and could be killed by these tree people.

But now discovering that he might not be from there naturally alleviated some pressure.

With these somewhat complicated feelings, Ye Zhongming went to check on the injured earth yellow pills.

Big Yellow had self-healing abilities, so while his injuries were severe, he was not in danger of losing his life. However, to fully recover would likely take over twenty cosmic days. That person's plant-based power was extremely strange; if there wasn't the Yama Tree slowly absorbing some residual power left in Big Yellow and some kind of medicine from the Long Void Water Clan acting on it as well, it would likely have been a troublesome matter.

The injuries of the lai lai bird were somewhat similar to those of the earth yellow pills, but since it was of a higher level and stronger, even if that person's attack had intensified, it was still fine, and its recovery time would take half as long as the earth yellow pills.
