Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2182: Not trading for anything

The three people lay on the ground, staring blankly at the lid that continuously emitted sparks, letting the sparks from the energy door heal their bodies.

Previously, they had undoubtedly been filled with anticipation and surprise about this experience, because they had discovered a shortcut to becoming stronger quickly.

They felt that this magical encounter was their fortunate blessing.

But the trials had only begun two rounds, and in the second round, they had nearly died.

Those toad-like things with excellent jumping ability not only had good defenses but were also very shameless. Upon touching them, whether a weapon or a fist, they would get covered in a lot of sticky stuff. When this sticky liquid accumulated, weapons would become dull, and their speed would slow.

There was also poison.

For the three, this poison was not fatal, but it would cause side effects: dizziness, weakness, confusion, and even stomachaches…

Under that kind of torment, while facing непрерывные attacks, their disheveled state was understandable.

If Jie Su had not used his Following Formation, they probably would not have passed even the second trial.

White Dragon Horse was also in bad shape. Those jumping parasites posed an ordinary threat to it; its physique prevented it from being bothered by their toxicity. However, when the creatures hidden in the water later struck, White Dragon Horse was attacked immediately.
Clumps of white silk wrapped around White Dragon Horse, pulling it to the ground and trampling it.

Now, one of Ye Zhongmingʼs war beasts had had its wing torn off by others, and a large wound was opened in its abdomen. If it were not receiving treatment, it would probably be dead by now.

”This really isnʼt something for humans to do.”

White-Robe sat up. His body rapidly recovered under the healing sparks, making him feel much better. Only the body was restored. The tension and trauma lingering in his spirit could not be dispelled in a short time.

That, too, was a kind of exhaustion, or rather, torment.

Ye Zhongming also sat up. He looked at White Dragon Horse and saw that its broken wing was regenerating, which put his mind at ease.

Although he had not had White Dragon Horse for long, he had invested a lot in this guy.

After the three people and one dragon had fully recovered, everyoneʼs focus was on the energy door. This was the part they were looking forward to, and White Dragon Horse was no exception.

This time, White Dragon Horse appeared first. Its reward value was 34 (27 this time, 7 remaining from last time), and its Furelai value was 55600.

This battle had increased White Dragon Horseʼs Furelai by two points.

This was not unusual. It would be abnormal for Furelai not to move at all during such life-and-death battles.

”I cannot craft any armor for you right now. Maybe you can choose some body protection gear.”

Ye Zhongming suddenly spoke.

Most of his space equipment, containing materials, was left at the base and not brought with him. He had very little on him. Also, while passing through the trials here, he could not take any materials away. So Ye Zhongming, despite having skills, could not craft equipment for everyone.

The several people could still manage facing the challenges, since they still had various abilities and whatever equipment remained, but White Dragon Horse relied entirely on its body. Once it encountered a strong attack that could break through its defenses, it became very passive. Without much help available to it, White Dragon Horse was quite dangerous.

During the second trial, Ye Zhongming had been startled. If this guyʼs body were not relatively robust, something serious would have happened.

White Dragon Horse thought for a moment, stood in front of its reward pool, looked it over, and selected a piece of equipment.

It was a dragon saddle!

It could be ridden, and it could also protect White Dragon Horseʼs key chest and abdominal areas.

Ye Zhongming was very satisfied with its choice. Little guy, very emotionally intelligent.

This dragon saddle cost White Dragon Horse a full 20 points. Based on their earlier examination of the reward items, this value was approximately the price of ordinary Red Condensation-grade equipment.

After White Dragon Horse, it was White-Robeʼs turn. This time, he received 44 reward points.

”Seems pretty good.” White-Robe said with a smile.

The reason his points were higher than White Dragon Horseʼs was that the latter had been severely injured after falling to the ground, greatly reducing its combat power. It had killed the fewest parasitic creatures and naturally received the fewest.

In terms of Furelai, White-Robe had increased by five points, reaching 33506.

Adding the two remaining reward points from before, White-Robe now had 46 reward points. He looked at his gear, which was tattered again, and had difficulty deciding.

Choose equipment again? That was possible. With his current reward points, choosing two pieces of ordinary-quality Red Condensation-grade equipment was completely feasible. This would definitely allow him to maintain combat effectiveness for longer in the trials.

However, based on the difficulty of the first two trials, after the third round, even two pieces of Red Condensation-grade equipment would probably be destroyed. Hadnʼt everyone seen that the Raini Grade equipment they wore couldnʼt withstand even two rounds of attack? Even if Ye Zhongming could not yet make high-quality Raini Grade, ordinary ones were still Raini Grade.

”Maybe you can choose not to exchange this time.” Ye Zhongming suddenly said from the side.

The others looked at Ye Zhongming.

”The next trial will certainly be more difficult, but we should be able to get through it smoothly, because this magical place restores not only our injuries, physical strength, and mental energy, but also our ability cooldowns. Although not a full restoration, it greatly shortens the process. After two rounds, I can already transform and activate my bloodline. So for the next round, even if the difficulty increases, with my help and Jie Suʼs Following Formation, we should be able to hold on.”

Ye Zhongming analyzed for the two. ”Since thatʼs the case, we can wait until after the next round and see how things are. Here, take these.”

Saying this, Ye Zhongming handed White-Robe several weapons, including his last remaining Red Condensation-grade equipment and several Ke Steel-grade weapons.

”Try to kill as many as you can and get points. Jie Su and I will look out for you. If there is a fourth round, it will depend on you to hold on.”

White-Robe thought it over and found it feasible. Jie Su also agreed.

White-Robe chose to keep all 46 points. Then it was Ye Zhongmingʼs turn. He received exactly 50 reward points, bringing the total to 61, including the previous ones.

Ye Zhongming advised the others to keep their points, but he spent 15 points to purchase specialised food for his two elementals. He just didnʼt know how long it would last them.

The Cloud Peak Kingʼs thought was to replenish the two little onesʼ energy as quickly as possible so they could manufacture more of those elemental cards, which would be a great help in battle.

Jie Suʼs points were the most among the three this time, a full 62 points. He had so many more mainly because he had used his Following Formation to kill a large number of parasites.

However, since he had not kept any reward points before and had exchanged them all for Furelai, his remaining points were still 62.

After the exchanges were completed, the three people and one dragon had hoped for some rest time, but to their disappointment, the drawing force of the energy door quickly appeared, and they had to set foot on the path of the third trial.
