CHAPTER TEXT:
"Thank you to the genuine Captain Poet for the 5888, thank you to lolo1212 for the 588, and also thanks to Leng Qiu, Lingnan, Right Hand, Wuying, Ye, Baizhan, Jiang Tian, Potato, and many other friends from the book club. There are too many to mention, but Old Phantom saw it, thank you everyone!"
Ye Zhongming may not say that he understands all the professions and skills in the apocalypse, but he has had contact with the vast majority of them.
He is sure that the red light that suddenly appeared on the two burly men earlier, which can attach to their bodies and weapons, as well as the two milky white rays emitted by Afo using his wrist beads, are not professions or certain skills.
He can see clearly that these skill-like things are emitted from within these people’s bodies, and Afo’s is even integrated with the beast teeth.
What kind of ability is this?
Moreover, as Ye Zhongming observed, he also found that these posthumous child warriors have organized and methodical fighting styles, indicating they must know some systematic martial arts.
This is different from professions like knife masters and fist fighters; the power of these human professions on Earth is based on skills and instantaneous explosive strength. The martial arts used by these posthumous children are somewhat similar to the national martial arts that Xia Lei knows.
Afo's other ray did not hit the three-star ape monster but killed a second-star one instead.
The few middle-aged men following Afo drew their weapons and rushed forward, one of them even said something to Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming naturally couldn’t understand, but he guessed it was to ask him to help take care of Afo.
After using that mysterious ability, Afo was obviously a bit weak, sweating profusely on his forehead, clearly showing signs of great exhaustion. He was in no condition to fight anymore.
In this regard, this kind of ability really can't compare to professions; at least, the consumption for professional skills is mostly mental energy. Afo's mental energy is strong enough to communicate via thoughts, yet he can only use his skill once, which likely consumes physical stamina or something else, unrelated to mental energy.
The few middle-aged men rushed in, also emitting a faint red glow, and their weapons, infused with this light, became incredibly powerful, clearly dealing more damage to the ape monsters than ordinary warriors.
The battle was at a stalemate; these middle-aged men were quite strong, likely between three-star and four-star, just slightly weaker than the two burly men.
However, the strength of the three-star evolved beast among those ape creatures was on par with the two sturdy men, while the other second-star evolved ones were just a little weaker than these middle-aged men, but they had an absolute numerical advantage.
Now Ye Zhongming understood why these posthumous children did not let these monsters into the stone hall; because in the corridor, they could utilize the terrain to block these monsters. Once they entered a wide area, the overall strength of the posthumous children around two-star evolution truly would not compare to over twenty ape monsters.
Suddenly, Miya, who was watching from behind, babbled something to Ye Zhongming. He looked at Afo, who smiled bitterly and said, “Miya wants you to help us. This time, she really is willing to... pay a reward.”
Seeing Afo's expression, Ye Zhongming felt that Miya’s original words shouldn’t sound quite like that, but he didn’t mind much. After thinking for a moment, he decided to step in.
He had far too many things that needed these posthumous children to help with, and since these ape monsters were indeed let in by him, it’s only reasonable for him to clean up the mess.
The Edge of the Moon appeared in his hand, and Ye Zhongming skillfully moved through the corridor, quickly approaching the front lines.
Many posthumous children gaped in awe upon seeing the shining object, not knowing what it was.
Ye Zhongming didn’t see the expressions of those behind him; instead, he focused on a three-star black magic crystal ape monster that was beating a middle-aged posthumous child without any resistance.
