The human survivors, who were just feeling happy about the victories in the first two rounds, fell into silence at this moment.
They finally remembered how they got here and how the sea beasts arrived.
Those sea beasts that were so close to killing them weren't weakened; they just hadn't attacked.
In the first two rounds, the sea beasts didn't have enough "money," not because they didn't want to "earn," but simply because the money was too little...
In the third round of challenges, the number of challengers on the human side had exceeded five thousand!
To the sea beasts, these challengers were all money.
And the sea beasts' full-scale attack was just the beginning. The upper dragon, not quite sure what it did, emitted low sounds from its mouth, and shortly after, many independent formations of sea beasts joined its ranks. As more and more sea beasts joined, a bandwagon effect began to form.
Originally, the reason the sea beasts were split into so many formations was not only due to different territories but also because of the Sea King Disk's principle of "no challenges, no actions." These sea beasts didn't have to worry about the immense pressure from the only eighth-level mutated life form present.
However, when many opponents of the same level chose to obey, their previous thoughts began to waver.
For humans, this was not good news. When the sea beasts were divided, there was the chance to take advantage of the chaos, but once these sea beasts united, things would become exceedingly complex.
Just looking at the indifferent yet contemplative eyes of that eighth-level upper dragon made it clear that their intelligence was not inferior to that of humans.
In the end, more than thirty thousand sea beasts participated in the third round of challenges!
Even the people from Cloud Summit Villa became tense, because this time, the core member representing their side was Liang Chuyin, along with thirty core team evolvers.
As long as they were numbered to fight by the Sea King Disk, they had to participate! But facing six-level sea beasts, with over forty five-level ones, the probability of encountering them was too high, making it extremely dangerous.
Even though they had experienced many dangerous special rounds, there had never been a precedent for the core members of Cloud Summit to die. This time, the challenge was all one-on-one battles, with no chances for mutual assistance. What if something went wrong? Liang Chuyin was the first to follow the boss, and if anything happened to her, would the boss go mad?
However, looking at the green Thousand Leaf Scale Armor on Liang Chuyin and the silver Shadow of Deep Cold Ripples whip in her hand, this worry lightened somewhat. As long as she avoided those three six-level sea beasts, it should not be too dangerous, right?
The sudden attack from the sea beasts startled Ye Zhongming out of his crafting state. He dropped the several pieces of equipment he had just made, stepped out of the protection circle to take a look, and then said, "Let's wait before we go on stage."
Wait for what? Naturally, to wait for equipment!
Ye Zhongming could not personally send his subordinates out, but to ensure their safety to the greatest extent, he had already put in a great effort.
The weapons and equipment just crafted were prioritized for the people of Cloud Summit.
Now that the sea beasts were launching a full-scale assault, Ye Zhongming decided to be more resolute.
He would arm his fighting subordinates to the teeth!
Other craftsmen might not be able to do this, but Ye Zhongming could.
Not only did he possess a powerful crafting profession with a prefix, but he also had immense mental power as support, and he had enough materials at hand to pile up into small mountains.
What was most daunting was the Ghost Gold and Drilling Sea Gold in Ye Zhongming's hands.
These two items guaranteed that as long as Ye Zhongming was willing to spend, the items he made would be of precious quality.
To be honest, the items Ye Zhongming had previously crafted on-site were somewhat rough. He had used a small tactic, focusing more on the level of the equipment once it was made rather than its practicality.
