After the level 5 roulette challenge ended, the smell of blood on the island had become so thick it was almost unbearable.
Although the appearance of purple equipment made other battles seem dull in comparison, every life fought with all their might for the sake of rewards and survival.
A smooth and successful challenge led to the rapid rise of Cloud Summit Villa's reputation, but it also faced a tacit suppression from other forces.
Cloud Summit was too dominant, especially with the emergence of purple equipment, which made many envy them to the point of jealousy.
In this situation, many factions that had previously agreed to trade exclusive items for mutated lifeforms with Cloud Summit Villa reneged on their promises, no longer offering any convenience to Cloud Summit.
As a result, Ye Zhongming ended up with nothing from this round of roulette challenges.
He felt somewhat helpless about this situation but could do nothing but accept it.
When the level 6 roulette challenge began, the scene was extremely quiet. The sea beasts did not engage in battle due to issues with magic crystals, while on the human side, the presence of Xia Bai made the true experts hesitate.
They were sure they were no match for Xia Bai, and since Xia Bai still had another chance to challenge, what would happen if he entered during the level 6 roulette challenge?
Moreover, the boss of Cloud Summit Villa, who had been inactive, would undoubtedly appear in the level 6 roulette since this was his only chance to obtain rewards. As for the level 7 roulette challenge, they could participate, but did they possess enough seventh-grade magic crystals to spin the roulette?
They had no way of knowing that Ye Zhongming actually had so many...
"Let's make a deal."
Just as Ye Zhongming was about to enter the battle, a clear voice suddenly echoed in his mind. His eyelids twitched slightly, and he forced himself to calm down.
Mental communication?!
Ye Zhongming was quite familiar with this method of communication; he had been deeply impressed by Yangos back in the day.
He did his best to remain calm and then looked towards the eighth-level upper dragon.
Indeed, it was this creature trying to contact him, but the one communicating mentally with Ye Zhongming was a sixth-level sea beast that resembled an elderly man with white hair and beard.
"We need the items on this roulette, but we cannot spin it."
From a human perspective, such a statement undoubtedly exposed their weakness and put them at a disadvantage in negotiations, but it was understandable from the sea beasts' standpoint.
They did possess wisdom comparable to humans, but ultimately still lagged behind in other aspects.
"Is this your idea or the upper dragon's?"
Ye Zhongming remained silent for a moment before suddenly using mental communication to ask the other party.
The strange sixth-level sea beast was taken aback, not expecting this human to also master such an ability.
"You surprise me," said the powerful sea beast, then added, "Upper dragon, are you referring to our king?"
Ye Zhongming subtly nodded. It seemed the upper dragon could not directly communicate with humans, as its strength did not lie in this area, so it sought this strange sea beast as a bridge.
"We will help you defeat other opponents, and your people will receive all the rewards. We want exclusive rewards."
Although their words were somewhat convoluted, Ye Zhongming understood because there were very few six-star evolvers among humans. Even if the sea beasts killed all the remaining six-star humans, the 'money' obtained would not be enough to spin the roulette once, signaling that they could not obtain rewards.
However, it was clear that the higher the level of the roulette, the more enticing the rewards would be for the sea beasts. Even the sixth-level roulette had rewards that the upper dragon yearned for.
But these creatures were not without cunning; they did not explicitly state which items they wanted but instead proposed the condition of obtaining all five types of exclusive rewards for mutated lifeforms.
