Ye Zhongming had never seen ancient pavilions and towers intricately carved and painted, but he was well aware of modern architectural styles.
However, he couldn't quite put a label on what style this grand hall belonged to.
What he could feel was the overwhelming sense of opulence that surrounded him.
In comparison to the simple and even shabby small spaces he had encountered earlier, this was truly like heaven and earth.
Ye Zhongming remained calm; he first observed the surroundings and found no immediate danger. Instead, he noticed a beautifully crafted table laden with food and water.
Ye Zhongming approached and tested the food and water with the few remaining needle birds. After confirming they were non-toxic, he began to eat heartily. Soon, the delicious food was completely consumed.
After filling his stomach, Ye Zhongming quickly noticed that his injuries were healing at an astonishing rate. It turned out that this food and water had miraculous healing properties!
It seemed that things were far from over.
Ye Zhongming gently closed his eyes, allowing his body to recover better.
After a few minutes, his injuries, which had initially made movement difficult, had healed considerably.
Ye Zhongming couldn't help but marvel at the miraculous effects of the food.
At that moment, images suddenly appeared on the wall opposite him, and Ye Zhongming was taken aback after just one glance.
Not only did he see the now seemingly larger pregnant demon monster, but he also saw Ji Rui Guang, Anman, Jas, and Zuo Jinxuan. The four of them were fighting fiercely in a space, surrounded by many mutated creatures attempting to kill them.
What shocked Ye Zhongming the most was the sight of the Yama Tree!
This powerful mutated plant that had once attacked his team was actually still following him!
Thinking of its level made Ye Zhongming feel somewhat apprehensive. His team had taken strict precautions and searched everywhere without finding any trace of the Yama Tree. They all thought it had stopped following them, but who would have expected it to appear here?
It was a scene similar to surveillance footage.
Just as Ye Zhongming pondered why these images were showing up, he saw the answer presented on the screen.
The demon monster, Yama Tree, and the four humans had their paths marked by a red line directly on the images, and there was even a red line running through the screen, clearly belonging to Ye Zhongming.
Among these three groups of life forms, the demon monster had passed through the most small spaces, Ye Zhongming counted and found there were already fifteen, while he himself had just passed through twenty-two small spaces.
The demon monster was close to the exit.
Next was the group of four humans; they were numerous and strong, consisting of two seven-star and two six-star beings, allowing them to support each other in battle. Thus, they were currently fighting in the eighth space.
Only the Yama Tree was lagging behind, currently stopped in the sixth space.
However, among these three groups, the one that looked the most relaxed was the Yama Tree.
This peculiar giant tree was actually immune to attacks from the Black Nourishing Life Soil space! It only needed to deal with the attacks from the red and yellow Nourishing Life Soil rooms.
Moreover, after observing carefully for a while, Ye Zhongming noticed that this giant was absorbing the Black Nourishing Life Soil at an incredibly fast rate. It didn’t need to accumulate like Ye Zhongming; it directly "consumed" it, causing the eighth-level life form to shrink significantly and become more transparent. Yet that increasingly powerful aura was felt even by Ye Zhongming through the screen.
The Yama Tree, being a mutated plant, was greatly affected by the Black Nourishing Life Soil, a national specialty, so its power was recovering rapidly.
Ye Zhongming couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Now he had Cloud Summit Villa, and the Yama Tree was a mortal enemy; if it regained its power, wouldn’t that pose a huge problem?
