Thank you to the fat bird leaning against the big tree and thinking of the two brothers Stephen, and thanks to other friends of the book!
The suspense in the battle was not much. The posthumous children previously dared not act here like this because this method simply did not work. Although the undead lifeforms were afraid to cross the boundary, their attacks could.
The attacks from undead mages, undead flying creatures, undead archers, and other undead lifeforms could cover a vast area beyond the boundary. In the face of such attacks, the posthumous children would be killed until there was nothing left but bones.
But this time was different. Ye Zhongming had the Shield of the Water Bottle, which could resist these undead lifeforms' attacks, and this applied to long-range attacks as well. What the posthumous children needed to do was simple: stand outside the boundary, without any defense, and just swing their weapons to fight.
What they held in their hands were all weapons and blades modified by Ye Zhongming, much more powerful than what they had used before.
The undead lifeforms had almost no chance to resist and were killed like fools. Even that blue bone dual-blade warrior who had injured Ye Zhongming didn't get to act; he was chopped into bone fragments by two hunting team captains.
When the Shield of the Water Bottle was about to give way, Ye Zhongming finally ordered everyone to retreat, of course, he did not forget to collect the Soul Pearls.
The reason Afo felt cheated was because of this.
“Ye, that… can we change the conditions?”
On the way back, the posthumous children were very excited. This time, they not only obtained a large number of excellent bones for making weapons but, more importantly, they suffered almost no casualties while gaining so much, which had been unimaginable before.
Naturally, they understood the reason for all this and looked at Ye Zhongming with different eyes. Now, in their eyes, besides the previous curiosity and admiration, there was also respect.
A person who could modify equipment and possessed great strength would be respected and honored anywhere.
However, Afo felt a bit complex. Today, he tried to act casual while inquiring about the Soul Pearls related to those undead lifeforms. Who would have thought that the clever and somewhat cunning Ye would raise such conditions?
Afo was very conflicted. The conditions proposed by Ye Zhongming were too difficult for him, and for all the posthumous children, to fulfill. He initially wanted to refuse directly, but thinking about the cooperative relationship they had just established, he didn't want to be too blunt and say it was impossible. So he smartly agreed but suggested a quantity of Soul Pearls that he believed Ye Zhongming could never achieve. He thought that quantity was impossible to fulfill.
But who could have imagined that he not only achieved it but did so on the same day!
Afo felt as if a mountain had crushed his feet countless times...
Ye Zhongming was secretly laughing. Afo, this old man, was intelligent but had lived in a closed environment for too long. His understanding was always based on the maximum extent he could imagine, unaware that in this world, many things that seemed extremely difficult and impossible to others might not be difficult at all.
Earlier, Ye Zhongming had some doubts about the function of the Soul Pearls because none of the posthumous children mentioned them, only speaking about bones. Ye Zhongming was skeptical in his heart. On the way here, when Afo mentioned it, Ye Zhongming immediately knew that the Soul Pearls must be useful to the posthumous children, or whether they were useful to others, Ye Zhongming really couldn't be sure, but they were definitely useful to Afo.
Because this old man was a powerhouse in mental strength, and Soul Pearls were just related to this aspect. On Earth, Soul Pearls were a kind of material or catalyst, mostly related to mental aspects, and there should be no difference in the secret realm.
