The space in front of him was almost identical to the previous one, with no difference in shape; however, on the ground… it was still the Nourishing Life Soil, a type of pure soil without any impurities, which was its unique sign.
But the Nourishing Life Soil in this space was… yellow!
Ye Zhongming blinked, his mind racing. In his previous life, the Nourishing Life Soil he had encountered was the pure black type found in the earlier space, which was recognized by the survivors of that time.
But what was this yellow variety?
Suddenly, Ye Zhongming recalled the three colors on the roulette when entering this space.
Black, red, yellow!
Could it be that the true Nourishing Life Soil actually comes in three colors?
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Ye Zhongming felt that perhaps the people from his previous life didn’t know this, or if they did, they wouldn’t pass this information on to an ordinary evolver like him.
Regardless, as long as it was Nourishing Life Soil, that was good enough!
Ye Zhongming instructed the carnivorous plant to step into it first, and after confirming that nothing happened, he followed suit.
Under the feet of the gold-plated carnivorous plant, there was very little decaying soil, only about the size of a basin. It seemed that its abilities were still insufficient to corrupt soil of this level.
After looking around, Ye Zhongming planned to gather soil.
Like in the first space, Ye Zhongming quickly scooped up a handful of this yellow Nourishing Life Soil into his bottle, and immediately there was a change in the space.
In the air, under the wave-like light, a bright circular ring appeared, silently crashing towards Ye Zhongming. If it weren't for the dazzling light it emitted, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t have even noticed its approach.
Having been on guard, Ye Zhongming directly drew his sand dance and held it in front of him.
This wasn’t a plant, it wouldn’t have a fifty percent damage reduction effect. He couldn’t afford to be careless and let this thing hit him.
Due to gravity, his movements became slow, so Ye Zhongming could only hold the knife in a defensive position.
With a loud sound, Ye Zhongming staggered back, taking several steps before stopping. He immediately checked his sand dance and, seeing that nothing was wrong, felt slightly relieved.
This bright circular ring had such immense power!
After blocking this attack, the ring stopped moving, floating in the air as if it had done nothing.
Fortunately, like in the first space, it would stop after attacking.
Ye Zhongming began to gather the Nourishing Life Soil for the second time. Another ring appeared, and once again he blocked it with his knife.
This time, however, he used the back of the knife.
Then came the third and fourth times, and Ye Zhongming successfully blocked the attacks. By the fifth time, an unexpected event occurred. The other bright rings, which had remained still, launched an attack together with the newly appeared one.
Caught off guard, Ye Zhongming only managed to block three of them, while the other two hit him directly, sending his body flying until he crashed against the light barrier, finally stopping.
Feeling his internal blood surge, Ye Zhongming took a moment to calm down before slowly standing up.
Just now, in a critical moment, Ye Zhongming had wanted to use the Staff of Nature, but to his dismay, in this space, the Staff of Nature… was ineffective.
When he placed the nature gemstone within, there was no effect whatsoever.
Ye Zhongming then took out his firearm and shot at the rings in the air, but the firearms were also ineffective here.
In the end, even when he tried to use his primary profession’s abilities, there was no response.
Was this a forbidden energy space?
But why could auxiliary professions still be used? The gardener and craftsman professions were not restricted?
Ye Zhongming was a bit confused, but he thought it likely had to do with the attributes of the space.
Looking at the bright rings in the sky, Ye Zhongming felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Was he going to have to endure physical hits all the time?
