Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2226: Throw throw throw

”I canʼt find you, but I can find my Mayo.”

The long-handled axe in the little girlʼs hand was thrust into the ground in front of her. As she spoke in response to Little Ninth Brother, her hands continuously formed seals. Soon, the long-handled axe split into two identical phantom projections that stood in front of the caves she was responsible for. As the parasites surged out, the three long-handled axes began to rotate, quickly forming three areas spinning so fast they were almost invisible.

The caves the little girl had chosen were all those with relatively small exits, so the three long-handled axes, like high-speed rotating electric fans, basically covered most of the area. The parasites that rushed out collided with them and were instantly minced.

Ye Zhongming was responsible for the most caves, but he also had the most methods. First, he summoned the mechanical war beast and had it guard a single path. When no powerful parasites appeared, its firepower was sufficient to cope. Then, he pondered for a moment, and one by one, shadows were stripped from his body, each running toward a cave that needed defense. Upon arriving, they stood at the cave entrance and attacked the incoming parasites with their fists and feet.

Each shadowʼs movements were different, as if they all had their own thoughts, fighting independently.

This was somewhat terrifying.

But Jie Su only took one look and knew the reason, feeling immense admiration for Ye Zhongmingʼs application and achievements in mental energy.

Previously, when White Robe advanced to become a great expert, several clones had appeared. Jie Su had asked what that was. At the time, Ye Zhongming was not sure if it was the Star-Eye Clanʼs ability that almost everyone possessed: Extreme Speed Assault.

That was actually Extreme Speed Assault, as White Robe later confirmed.

And now what Ye Zhongming was using should also be this ability, or if not, it was very similar. Unlike when White Robe used it, Ye Zhongmingʼs split-off shadows were more numerous. This certainly had some relation to the level of his realm, but the decisive factor was ultimately the strength of his mental energy.
White Robe naturally had not used his full strength before, but it seemed that for the time being, he should not be able to reach Ye Zhongmingʼs level. The Cloud Peak King had now split off at least twenty-something shadows.

The real difficulty was not in the number of shadows, but in the combat effectiveness of each shadow.

When performing such a skill, whether the main body could attack, or even move, was directly linked to the number and quality of the shadows. If there were too many shadows, or if the shadows were required to do too much and be more ”intelligent”—that is, reaching the limit—the main body could not attack or move.

But what about Ye Zhongming? He split off more than twenty, each with its own autonomous attack capability. Although they certainly did not have as many varied moves, strange tactics, and cunning schemes as the main body, they at least had fifty percent of the main bodyʼs strength, which was certainly sufficient to deal with ordinary parasites.

Under such circumstances, Ye Zhongmingʼs main body still held the largest cave leading to this area, clearly having spare capacity.

Only if his total mental energy had reached an exaggerated level, and his application and familiarity of mental energy were so detailed and well-practiced that others could not comprehend it, would such an effect be possible.

With Ye Zhongming, the Mechanical Prodigy, and the little girl stopping the swarming parasites, the other three great experts could safely attack Little Ninth Brother and Wen Hong.

After nearly a minute of battle, everyone could see the general characteristics.

When Wen Hong chose the Fusion Method, due to the special nature of this ability, she could only choose to fuse with something. Having no other option, Wen Hong chose to fuse with a piece of equipment. Little Ninth Brother chose to fuse with... the corpses of parasites.

The two thus underwent a huge mutation.

Wen Hong became a giant fused with steel. Little Ninth Brother became a half-human, half-beast insectoid.

Their abilities were therefore fixed.

Wen Hong had ample strength and high defense, could control various metals flexibly and freely. Without weapons, she still had many weapons; without armor, she still had countless pieces of armor.

Her only weakness might be slow movement, but Little Ninth Brotherʼs existence made up for this problem. For example, the way Wen Hong left the mountainʼs interior and returned here was by parasites carrying her.

Little Ninth Brotherʼs fusion with parasites seemed disgusting, and indeed it was disgusting. He himself did not have strong offensive or defensive capabilities, but he could control almost all the parasites here for his use.

This was a very terrifying ability, because as Little Ninth Brotherʼs ability grew, the number of parasites he controlled increased. Most of the credit for him and Wen Hong passing the trials was his, because he could bring a certain number of parasites into the trials, and he also had some other strange abilities.

In the current battle, Wen Hong also stayed by Little Ninth Brotherʼs side, basically dealing with the two great experts, Jie Su and White Dragon Horse, by herself. Although she was at a disadvantage, they could not do anything to her for the time being, nor could they harm Little Ninth Brother.

This was, after all, a battlefield where just holding out for time would lead to victory. No matter how much they hated Ye Zhongming, they had not truly gone mad. After discovering that the other side had many experts and strong strength, they wisely adopted a defensive strategy.

At the same time, the two were also on guard against the vanished White Robe. This person put more pressure on them than the one using the strange formation and the dragon in front of them.

But just as everyone was on guard against White Robe, this one suddenly spoke.

”I am an assassin. Tracking targets is my specialty; otherwise, how could I complete assassinations? You think you are hiding very quickly and very stealthily? Thatʼs actually completely not the case. The traces you left behind are too obvious. Even in the darkness, I could easily find you. Also, your scent is too distinctive, too foul. I could walk to your vicinity with my eyes closed.”

White Robeʼs voice echoed here, constantly attacking the minds of Wen Hong and Little Ninth Brother, ethereal and empty, impossible to grasp.

Previously, they had discovered that when Little Ninth Brother and Wen Hong were not specifically speaking to Ye Zhongming, they understood the common language. Only their accents and some sounds were a bit strange, but it did not affect communication.

This at least showed that when they passed the trials, they had encountered beings who understood the common language, or had directly exchanged for the use of the common language.

”As for why I can pinpoint your exact location, itʼs really because that creature that is neither human nor insect loves to talk too much. When you are nearby, as soon as you speak, who canʼt find you?”

White Robeʼs words caused the Mechanical Prodigy, Jie Su, and the others to nod in agreement.

If it were not for being in the middle of battle, the atmosphere would certainly be very awkward.

They had intended to toy with these people, but it turned out that each of them had their own ways to easily find them. The difficulty of setting this trap was no better than a child playing the handkerchief-dropping game. The final result only made people... catch him quickly...
