âWhy do you seem a bit off?â Garan asked Ye Zhongming as they teamed up to crush some Death Vines.
In less than half an hour since the Yama Tree emerged from the ground and discovered Ye Zhongming, this group had already fought against the Death Vines twice.
Since the Death Vines werenât all concentrated in one place, under Ye Zhongming's leadership, they fought while moving. Although there were losses, at least they werenât halted, and the treemen kept protecting the equipment while constantly moving.
Ye Zhongming had a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead. Upon hearing Garan's question, he instinctively turned to look at her.
âI have a support profession, Frequency Insight.â
In this battle, Garanâs team was responsible for supporting Ye Zhongming, so she had been by his side the entire time.
Ye Zhongming raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
This support profession had less noticeable effects at lower levels; it wasnât very accurate in grasping changes in external situations or the strength status of targets. However, as the power of the profession's skills increased and the owner's evolution level rose, this skill would become increasingly useful.
In his past life, many people said they would rather fight two evolvers of the same level than clash with one who had Frequency Insight, which shows the power of this support profession.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming knew one more thing: the most fearsome assassin in his past life, apart from having stealth and assassination as main professions, also possessed Frequency Insight. He could use this skill to find the most vulnerable, weakest state of his target while lurking, ensuring a remarkably high success rate.
He didnât expect this woman to have obtained such a skill.
This was a promising candidate for an assassin.
However, thinking about her fire-based main profession, Ye Zhongming felt a bit regretful. Those with elemental professions were too easily detected by those with keen perception; wanting to become an assassin was almost a fatal flaw.
âMy mental power is a bit drained,â Ye Zhongming replied simply.
After speaking, his gaze fell upon the end of the passage where some chaotic sounds were coming from, likely indicating more Death Vines were approaching, but they had encountered other survivors.
Before escaping through the rainbow gate, Ye Zhongming had actually gone to another place. He left a backup plan, but so far, he didnât know if it would come into play.
If all the conditions were met and with a bit of luck, perhaps he could break this situation effortlessly.
Of course, this was just a backup, not even a trump card. Ye Zhongming only thought of it because Garan piqued his interest.
The primary task now was still to escape and regroup with his subordinates.
To be honest, the strength of the people around him was still too weak. If it were the warriors from Cloud Summit cooperating with him, they could at least cover half a kilometer more.
Suddenly, a scream erupted from the front. Ye Zhongming cursed internally, quickly leading Garan and her people forward. He didnât know why, but the previously cleared passage had been completely destroyed, revealing an elliptical pit that had sunken directly from the ground.
Standing where the passage met the pit, they could already see the sky outside.
What made Ye Zhongming feel most threatened were the dark green slime oozing out from the bottom of the pit!
Although he didnât know exactly what it was, Ye Zhongming guessed it was something created by the Yama Tree to control and improve dried corpses. The appearance of this substance certainly boded no good.
Glancing at a survivor who had screamed and, due to inertia, was pushed down by a companion who hadnât retracted their foot in time and was now scrambling up from the pit, Ye Zhongming noticed that the slope of the pit wasnât too steep. For evolvers, climbing it wasnât a challenge.
âClimb to the surface; thatâs our only option!â Ye Zhongming pointed upwards.
Since there was no way to retreat, the only route left was to ascend to the surface.
