Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 549: Second mutation

Ye Zhongming rarely met a match at the same level.

After pulling him down to his level, that dual level-seven beast lost its level advantage.

When Ye Zhongming’s Moon Edge was about to stab into its body, Little Peng stopped him.

“Try this.”

Little Peng took something and passed it to Ye Zhongming.

“Taming Test Tube?”

Ye Zhongming’s eyes lit up. This was a good item.

There were many ways to tame beasts. Most of them relied on equipment. But there were different types of equipment. Evolved preferred those that directly tamed the beast.

But many restrictions were based on the battle pet level, the situation, etc.

Some equipment was more special. It had restrictions but allowed some free space regarding the pet level.

An example of such was the Taming Test Tube that Ye Zhongming was holding. Its conditions were really strict and requested that the mutated beast be alive. One had to use blood and mental energy while taming it, and it needed a long time to tame…

Anyways, there were many conditions.

But the only thing that evolved was happy about was that if the taming process succeeded, the mutated lifeform’s level wouldn’t drop. It would maintain at the level it had when kept in the test tube.

Ye Zhongming looked at Little Peng and stabbed Moon Edge into its body. A dozen seconds later, the giant beast was about to die.

He activated the test tube, and a giant light covered the beast. But the double demon crystal fellow couldn’t care about all of that. Its mind was blurring out, and it was about to die.

Its giant body quickly shrunk, and this magical scene kept everyone’s eyes on it. When it turned into the size of an arm, it was sucked into the test tube.

Ye Zhongming exhaled and received some information in his mind. The first was to confirm that he would use mental energy and blood to provide it with energy. Then he saw some information.

“Level Six Copper Ink Sunflower (Second mutation), state 1: About to die. State 2, being tamed.”

“Taming time: With enough blood and mental energy, 300 hours.”

Although the introduction wasn’t too detailed, it was enough to tell Ye Zhongming some things.

For example, the problem with the two demon crystals.

Second mutation?

He had heard those words before, but they were in novels he read during peacetime. He was sure he hadn’t heard of this during the apocalypse.

Life… Could it mutate a second time?

Ye Zhongming felt like, after this year, the mist around the apocalypse didn’t scatter. It was even getting thicker as he used his advantage to get even stronger.

This didn’t feel good and it even turned his gaze more serious.

“Let’s go.”

Little Peng trembled. Ye Zhongming saw a huge ripple in the ocean beast wave. A batch of black things were rushing over at the three of them.

“Run!”

Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai did charge out from the wave, but it was because they were keeping a low profile. The wave was ordered to siege the city, which was why they were able to open a path.

But things were different. This wave was charging at them. Under the attacks of this group, even people as strong as Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai didn’t dare to try anything. If they were surrounded, it would be a battle of attrition.

Ye Zhongming didn’t want to use all his trump cards here.

The three of them ran towards a direction that Little Peng pointed to.

“I owe you one.”

Ye Zhongming pulled Little Peng and said while running. The Taming Test Tube was a good thing.

It should be the most valuable thing in his hands, but he gave it to him. Ye Zhongming would get a second evolution level-six lifeform if he successfully tamed it. This was not a small favor but a big one.

The three of them were quick, and when they arrived on the beach, Little Peng pointed into the distance and said that the mysterious power was there.

Ye Zhongming looked at Xia Bai. She used Darkness Calamity, and a patch of black bugs appeared to turn into a bug carpet.

“Get up.”

Xia Bai stepped on the carpet. The bugs covered the three of them and carried them above the ocean.

Little Peng carried Black Hatred and looked below curiously. He didn’t know what they were.

This was a simple plan that the two of them had thought about. These bugs weren’t flying equipment, so they had no good idea. Flying slowly was better than entering the water.

The beast wave reached the shore, and many of them sniffed where the Copper Ink Sunflower disappeared from, like they were searching for their leader.

Some beasts charged into the ocean and chased the three of them. They weren’t planning to let them go.

The beasts were fast, and the trio were slow. When the ocean beasts chased up to them, the battle started. It wasn’t intense, but it continued and attracted more beasts who joined in.

Two hours had passed when the three of them arrived at the spot that Little Peng mentioned.

“There!”

Little Peng pointed at a spot and shouted.

Ye Zhongming was slightly stunned as there was a mist.

Was something magical happening in the mist? For some reason, Ye Zhongming felt like there was something there that made his heart jump.

Those beasts that were battling with them had disappeared.

“Are those ocean beasts?”

Xia Bai’s sudden words caused Ye Zhongming and Little Peng to turn in her direction. They saw a black patch; if one didn’t look carefully, one would think they were ripples. But on closer look, one saw they were a group of silent and orderly ocean beasts.

The two looked at Ye Zhongming and waited for his decision.

Go or not to go?

If they went, they might have to face many more ocean beasts. If they didn’t, all their hard work would be for nothing.

What now?

Ye Zhongming bit his teeth. He decided to take a look.

Xia Bai was expressionless. She had to accompany him, diving into the abyss or a sea of flames. Little Peng knew it was dangerous but was unwilling to give up as the answer was right ahead.

But before the three of them got close, they felt a breeze. A moment later, a storm formed that swallowed the three of them.
