Doomsday Roulette

Chapter 791: Close Combat 🥊

Published: February 10, 2025

No matter the past or the present, it was the first time Ye Zhongming saw a living pregnant demon monster standing before him, one that was equivalent to a seventh-level demon monster.

The feeling was strange and awkward.

While others might be surprised or even terrified upon witnessing such a scene, Ye Zhongming, being a reborn person, knew that demon monsters had strong reproductive abilities and often captured human females to bear their offspring.

However, it was indeed his first time seeing such a high-ranking pregnant demon monster.

At the same time, many questions arose in Ye Zhongming's mind.

Why had the other demon monsters left, yet three remained here? And why were their levels so high? Why did they show such smiles upon seeing him? Why was one of the demon monsters already pregnant, yet still stayed here? By human standards, with such a large belly, it should be close to giving birth, right?

Of course, there was also this roulette; why was there no visible reward on it? Only a slot for placing magic crystals? Did this roulette only require one magic crystal to spin?

Scattered around the roulette were numerous magic crystals of various levels, and even more were piled behind it, some of which were placed haphazardly on this roulette that even Ye Zhongming did not recognize.

Were these demon monsters the ones spinning this roulette?

Had these green-skinned creatures reached such a level of intelligence? Had they even broken the rule that mutated life forms could not spin the roulette?

All these questions made Ye Zhongming cautious, preventing him from advancing as he stood before the Jingjue Floating Sphere.

He truly yearned for good things, knowing that only by continuously strengthening himself could he avoid being eliminated in this apocalypse filled with miracles and blessings. Only then could he better protect his life and the lives of his subordinates, thus escaping the fate of being a pawn.

But Ye Zhongming would not force himself to do anything that endangered his life.

He could fight desperately but would not seek death.

The three demon monsters, each standing four meters tall and equivalent to humans at the seven-star level, or even stronger, were beyond what he could handle. No matter how confident he was, with the earth yellow pill, he could at most deal with two or three. Ye Zhongming knew he would inevitably lose.

The female green-skinned demon monster in the middle kept touching her large belly, waving her hand at the two companions, and hissed softly. The two green-skinned demon monsters immediately charged towards Ye Zhongming.

A female-dominated group?

Ye Zhongming was slightly taken aback; could it be that the demon monsters had a matriarchal societal structure?

Moreover, Ye Zhongming realized another issue: the pregnant female demon monster seemed unable to engage in combat, meaning he only had to deal with the two remaining demon monsters?

His foot, which had originally stepped into the Jingjue Floating Sphere, halted.

Once he felt there might be an opportunity, Ye Zhongming's desire for this mysterious unknown roulette surged to the forefront.

The two demon monsters moved exceptionally fast, covering the fifty-meter distance and leaving Ye Zhongming with only a moment to think. In the next second, they were upon him, attacking from left and right.

Ye Zhongming quickly dodged backward, and with a whistle, a golden shadow burst out from the Jingjue Floating Sphere, lunging straight at the nearest demon monster.

Ye Zhongming called forth the earth yellow pill, deciding to put up a fight.

Sand dance was taken from the weapon nurturing space, and the battlefield immediately activated, surrounding Ye Zhongming with a swirling sandstorm. As the demon monster charged in, its lightning-fast body noticeably slowed down.

Though it was still quick, Ye Zhongming was now able to gauge its movements.

The demon monster's body was indeed strong, but Ye Zhongming had also upgraded through the improved Evolution Potions. With a series of equipment and skills, such as the Merit Medal, Sea King Crown, and blazing flame combat technique, his physical attributes were at the peak for his level. Even Xia Bai, who had reached the seven-star level, was inferior to Ye Zhongming in that regard. Although this demon monster was equivalent to a seventh-level evolved life form, in the sandstorm, Ye Zhongming was no longer fearful, at least in terms of speed.
