The seemingly suicidal action of the iron lock prisoner sent Ye Zhongming into a cold sweat.
He felt the immense killing intent contained within the prisoner’s single eye!
“Retreat! Retreat!”
Facing the Merit Medal, Ye Zhongming called for his people to pull back further; what was about to happen could be extremely terrifying!
The aerial bullets raining down from the sky came to a pause as the bullets from the golden and silver Jingjue Floating Sphere aerial machine guns ran out.
The iron lock prisoner’s large mouth creaked open, looking exceptionally eerie, and Ye Zhongming’s unease intensified. He continued to distance himself from this giant while riding on the earth yellow pill.
However, the others were still oblivious, immersed in the joy of about to kill the eighth-level mutated life form.
At this level, these mutated life forms were treasures. Everyone knew that magic crystals were no longer the most valuable parts; the flesh, bones, and organs contained enormous energy, possibly granting humans some special abilities.
“Ah woo!”
The iron lock prisoner braved the hail of bullets and thrust the giant Bloodwood into the ground, his body rising as a result. Blood poured from the gaping wounds on his body, as if a rain of blood was falling.
Seeing the iron lock prisoner stand up stunned the crowd, but they didn’t realize the danger; only a few high-level evolvers or those with special abilities began to feel confusion and a sense of crisis.
But before they could react, the iron lock prisoner initiated his most ferocious counterattack after being put on the defensive!
He lifted the enormous Bloodwood overhead with both hands, and upon colliding with his single horn, a massive energy flowed between the two drool-worthy pieces of equipment Ye Zhongming coveted, a patch of purple appearing on the Bloodwood.
“Fruiting?”
Many people were taken aback by this sight, as they clearly saw small purple fruits suddenly appearing on the Bloodwood.
“Damn it!”
After seeing this, Ye Zhongming cursed under his breath and directed the earth yellow pill to fly towards the Cloud Summit Villa!
He recognized what they were.
With a deft twist of the wrist, the iron lock prisoner spun the giant wood around, and those small purple fruits began to rain down from the Bloodwood.
Though everyone didn’t know what they were, they sensed they were not good news and directed their attacks at these small fruits. Surprisingly, these fruits were exceptionally tough, with very few attacks able to break through their purple skins.
Seeing Ye Zhongming charging down, the people from Cloud Summit and Ying City quickly retreated, and Mu Xinfey and Guangyao realized something was wrong, hastily following suit.
The small fruits started to fall to the ground; from a height of several dozen meters, these purple fruits, about the size of a half fist, didn’t take long to reach the ground.
When the fruits hit the ground, they neither exploded nor split open but rather… burrowed into the earth.
“What is that?!”
Mu Xinfey rushed in front of Ye Zhongming, loudly inquiring.
Ye Zhongming glanced at the small fruits drilling into the ground and said solemnly, “Carnivorous plants!”
The others didn’t understand, but the people from Cloud Summit did. Beneath the newly built city wall of Cloud Summit, carnivorous plants were reportedly planted and had been modified!
They understood how formidable these things were.
But the others did not know, especially those warriors from Zones C and G who had rushed up close, as well as the external forces that had been invited.
Seeing the carnivorous plant seeds burrowing into the ground sent chills down their spines. Some began to retreat, while others hesitated, causing chaos in their formations.
Seconds later, they paid the price for their earlier eagerness.
Greenish-purple seedlings burst forth from the ground, spreading across a vast area centered around the iron lock prisoner. These seedlings grew at a visible pace, transforming into fully-grown carnivorous plants taller than a person in the blink of an eye.
