"I'm sorry I'm late tonight~~ There's still one more chapter. Thank you all for your support, I won't mention everyone individually, but Old Phantom thanks you all."
Ye Zhongming exhaled softly and instructed everyone to open the boxes to see what was inside.
"What's wrong?" Xia Lei leaned closer to Ye Zhongming, unsure of what her man meant by his sudden behavior.
Playing with these factions at his fingertips, making them kill each other while his side reaped the benefits to smoothly enter the next stage—had he really done everything he could? Was there anything left to sigh about?
Ye Zhongming pointed to the Shield of the Water Bottle, and Xia Lei, along with some others nearby, shifted their attention from the bloody battlefield to the massive phantom that protected them from attacks.
"Seems like... it's a bit weaker?"
Mo Ye tilted his head to compare it with how the Shield of the Water Bottle appeared when it first manifested, uncertain of his observation.
Ye Zhongming nodded, confirming Mo Ye's speculation.
He was very clear about the process of the competition of death roulette, having received information from those who passed through. However, the methods to pass the roulette test varied greatly among individuals and organizations. For instance, in the current third layer points battle, while other factions might rely on overwhelming strength, Ye Zhongming and Cloud Summit chose a more tactful approach.
Yet, an unexpected situation arose—Ye Zhongming discovered that even without anyone attacking, the energy of the Shield of the Water Bottle was gradually decreasing.
This indicated that the competition of death roulette space was absorbing the power of High-Level Natural Gemstones!
Although the current dimming of the Shield of the Water Bottle wasn't very obvious, these were High-Level Natural Gemstones! The fact that Ye Zhongming noticed it so soon indicated that the energy absorption speed was very rapid.
"What should we do?"
Xia Lei asked, her gaze shifting to the score recording light screen. There, aside from Cloud Summit and Unicorn King Freedom Master, the scores of the other three factions were fluctuating wildly.
"Don't worry too much, it's nothing major. Just check what rewards are useful to you and allocate them," Ye Zhongming gently shook his head. He hadn't anticipated that the competition of death roulette space would behave this way. It felt as if some people were outsmarted by fate, but finding a solution wasn't difficult. Ye Zhongming quickly recovered from his brief frustration; he still had a firm grip on the battle situation.
The warriors of Cloud Summit Villa immediately sprang into action, opening the treasure chests, causing exclamations to ring out. These items represented points and were certainly not ordinary. One chest contained over ninety points and surprisingly revealed a piece of silver equipment.
Even for Cloud Summit Villa at this moment, silver equipment was still an excellent item, with only a few in the hands of core members.
"Let's charge out, boss!"
Little Tiger, watching the battle outside, could barely contain himself, licking his lips with red eyes, clearly itching to join the fray.
"Okay, right away."
Hearing Ye Zhongming's words, many people were taken aback. They all knew Little Tiger was impulsive, but given the current situation, the longer they allowed the factions to slaughter each other, the more advantageous it would be for Cloud Summit. Why was the boss also acting impulsively?
"But it’s not you guys. It’s me."
"Look at those boxes," Ye Zhongming explained softly. "If we don’t intervene, they will use those boxes. Given the energy depletion rate of the Shield of the Water Bottle, the Water System Gemstones I have combined can last at most about an hour. By that time, the survivors will grow much stronger, and they will surely join forces to attack us frantically. If that happens, our losses will be significant."
"Since that’s the case, we need to strike first to prevent them from gaining more rewards. This will also reduce the pressure on us in the end."
