The piercing screams erupted from the mouths of the five individuals, and Ye Zhongming immediately felt a wave of dizziness and disorientation.
Ye Zhongming's mental power was likely unparalleled in the world, and mental-type skills didn't affect him much. However, the five individuals were launching sound wave attacks, making it impossible for him to defend in such a confined space.
Struggling against his blurred vision and temporarily lost hearing, Ye Zhongming instinctively pulled the trigger of the Crystal Energy Magic Bullet Gun, unleashing arcs of energy imbued with lightning that instantly covered the sky.
He did not seek to kill these obviously abnormal humans; he only wanted to ensure his safety until he recovered.
The sizzling sound was gradually captured by Ye Zhongming's returning hearing. He knew he had hit something, and after covering the area above him with firepower for a few seconds, he rushed out of the branch mountain with Nogaei in his arms.
He moved his body, alleviating the pain caused by dizziness that made it difficult to find the exit accurately.
As discomfort faded away, Ye Zhongming looked back at the place he had just emerged from.
There were four distinct thuds, almost overlapping, but Ye Zhongming could clearly distinguish them. Moments later, four figures emerged from the branch mountain.
One was missing, presumably the one Ye Zhongming had hit who was already dead.
Among the four individuals, there were both men and women. With the bright slime above their heads, Ye Zhongming could see them clearly. They appeared almost indistinguishable from humans, but the most peculiar feature was their completely green eyes.
Moreover, there was a bi-directional tube connected to their spines.
This was a completely new life form he had never seen before, somewhat... between human and a corpse.
A large amount of slime was injected into the bodies of these four strange humans from the tube behind them, and then the tube slowly retracted back into the branch mountain.
Without the constraints, the four half-human, half-corpse beings launched their attacks.
Two of the male beings had tendril-like vines sprouting from their feet, quickly wrapping around their bodies. Although not tightly bound, they formed a rudimentary vine armor. Meanwhile, the fingertips of their hands extended hardened wooden spikes, slashing towards Ye Zhongming.
The two female beings opened their mouths, and something resembling a flower bud shot out. Once completely emerged, the bud blossomed into a green-purple flower with a tiny hole in the center. As their abdomens contracted, when they expanded again, a barrage of wooden needles shot out from the hole in the flower.
These four strange beings had both melee and ranged capabilities, which surprised Ye Zhongming immensely.
Without magic crystals and lacking any human or plant aura, Ye Zhongming couldn't discern their levels, so he could only go all out.
The brilliance of the edge of the moon enveloped the area.
The wooden spikes and the blade light from the male beings clashed against everything, producing loud sounds of metal striking metal, while flames surged forth.
Perhaps the hardness of these wooden spikes did not fear the edge of the moon, but Ye Zhongming completely overwhelmed the two male mutated beings in terms of power. The wooden spikes were directly deflected, and Ye Zhongming took the opportunity to burst into the space around the two.
At the same time, the flames surged toward the incoming wooden needles. These small projectiles, after all, lacked the sturdiness of the wooden spikes. Even those that weren't burned lost their power and accuracy, falling to the ground.
However, neither side ceased their assaults. The female mutated beings continued to shoot wooden needles, and the two male mutated beings started their second round of attacks against the close-quarters Ye Zhongming.
Unfortunately, Ye Zhongming had already gauged their strength, and his own counterattacks became sharp and fierce.
Kick! Intermediate python god finger!
