Walking through the secluded streets between tall buildings, the small team made their way forward, allowing Liang Chuyin and Park Soo-young to familiarize themselves with their professions, while Ye Zhongming provided guidance from the side.
Even those without professions were attentively listening behind them, including Xia Lei, as someone was helping them open a magical door—an opportunity that didn’t come by often.
Although everyone had a big question in their hearts about how Ye Zhongming knew all of this, no one raised the issue, knowing that even if they did, there would be no answer.
The attack power of the Shadow Four Directions Dance was astonishing, even Ye Zhongming was taken aback. Once this skill was activated, all objects within a two-meter radius would be attacked. In just a few seconds of the skill's duration, the whip would strike hundreds of times, so fast that the naked eye couldn’t capture it, only seeing a flurry of whip shadows.
Ye Zhongming, brave as he was, stood within the attack range to test it out. Without using Edge of the Moon, he could only passively endure the attacks, waiting until the skill ended before he could counterattack.
Of course, while this skill was powerful, it was still unable to force out Ye Zhongming’s trump card, just like the spirit woman.
Power came at a cost; this skill consumed a massive amount of mental and physical energy and required a high degree of bodily flexibility. Newly acquired profession Liang Chuyin could only use this skill twice, even while gritting her teeth, before becoming weak.
Equally powerful was the Apostle of Light; this profession was truly outrageous. Along the way, the team encountered a second-level mutated mosquito, about the size of a rat, with a sharp, long proboscis measuring over twenty centimeters. The earth yellow pill, which was rather restless, first startled this giant mosquito, getting ambushed and leaving a piercing wound on the leg of the big dog. Angered, the earth yellow pill started barking furiously, its fur standing on end, preparing to unleash its innate skill, but it was Ye Zhongming who forced it to calm down.
Facing such a second-level creature, it was Mo Ye who took action. Her strength was actually inferior to that of the mutated mosquito, both in speed and attack power. However, with Park Soo-young supporting from behind, an empty crystal shield was deployed, and the mosquito's proboscis, which could easily pierce through the earth yellow pill's body, couldn’t do anything against the translucent shield. No matter where it attacked from, it would be blocked by the shield until it was finally cut in half by Mo Ye wielding Edge of the Moon, unable to exhaust the energy contained in the shield, and ultimately died in frustration.
This showcased the power of the Apostle of Light, allowing a one-star evolver to kill a second-level mutated life under certain conditions!
Although it consumed more mental energy than the sweet dew technique, the strength of this shield was undeniable.
Due to their familiarity with the profession, the group took nearly two hours to cover a distance of two streets, which not only allowed the two women to gain a preliminary understanding of their professions but also resulted in the collection of over a hundred Grade 1 Magic Crystals and one Grade 2 Magic Crystal.
“Brother Ye, you're really a good person, not even robbing those three people of their magic crystals,” Little Tiger casually remarked as he looked at the energy-filled crystals.
Ye Zhongming chuckled softly and replied, “I just left behind some life-and-death tokens.”
“What?”
Everyone looked confused and turned towards the soul of the team.
“The black area on the colorful roulette is the death zone. If the pointer ends up there, it means… everything will come to an end, even if you are a nine-star expert.”
A few of them were stunned and then realized, “So they…”
As if confirming everyone's speculation, a sudden loud noise came from far away, shaking the ground and shattering the windows and doors of the surrounding tall buildings. Shards of glass and stones fell like rain, forcing everyone to take cover.
