Apocalypse Gacha Chapter 499- Activating the Cannibal Flower

This was a place that Sister Rong, Xia Bai, etc., guarded together. Unfortunately, apart from the two of them, the women who defended this place had died one by one after all the battles.

This was where the Fake Ghost Tree was. Behind it were four wheels in the cave, from level two to level five. Along with the three level-one wheels outside, it formed the seven pearls of Cloud Peak.

Ye Zhongming had always suspected that the Heaven Tree that occupied a city in the last life that scared off nine-star stars evolved from the Fake Ghost Tree, so he didn’t kill this mutated plant. He only sliced its branches to use as materials to restrict it.

But after entering, Ye Zhongming was shocked. Over ten Fake Ghost Trees blocked the path to the four wheels.

He looked at their levels. Apart from the initial tree that was level four, the others were level two and three.

“What is going on?”

Xia Lei was planning Cloud Peak matters and was too busy, so she sent Liang Chuyin to accompany Ye Zhongming. Ye Zhongming turned towards her when he saw such a situation.

“Spy, traitor, and person with bad intentions.”

Liang Chuyin pouted in disdain, “Not everyone has the same heart as us. Many factions want to infiltrate us to get intel—especially the modified potion, demon crystal weapons, and gene technology. Apart from those we killed right away, we fed those we captured alive to Big Yellow. Those lower level ones were given to this tree and could be used to prevent others from sneaking into Cloud Peak.”

Ye Zhongming nodded. He had left for half a year, and Cloud Peak had learned how to deal with this matter. It was cruel to deal with spies like this, but the difference in methods between killing and feeding the Fake Ghost Tree helped to leave a huge threat to scare off people.

“Who are these people?”

Ye Zhongming looked at the Fake Ghost Trees. Apart from the level four mother body, the other trees were complete. It was obvious that Cloud Peak members allowed it to happen.

“Many, for example, people who want to stand out, people who wanted to harm their partners, as well as people who tried to target our women.”

“En?” Ye Zhongming smiled, “Are you all not letting people chase you?”

Liang Chuyin rolled her eyes at Ye Zhongming before saying, “Are they chasing us? The better ones want our money and bodies to become core Cloud Peak members. The worse ones are like this tree.”

She pointed at a level-three Fake Ghost Tree and said, “Three months later, this person thought he was handsome and started to chase Sister Lei. He wanted to become Cloud Peak’s boss. Sister Lei exposed his true nature, slicing his four limbs and sending him here. If he didn’t have bad intentions, then what?”

That happened? Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes and walked to the tree’s side. The branches tried to tangle Ye Zhongming.

A casual kick sent the tree toward the cave. The core demon crystal part was smashed, and it twitched before dying.

“Then why are we still leaving it around?”

Ye Zhongming started to examine the mother tree.

Liang Chuyin spat out her tongue but felt the kick was handsome.

Ye Zhongming thought about it and told Liang Chuyin, “Let it evolve to level five.”

The two continued to the stone room where the four wheels were. There was a purple plant at the entrance. When it sensed someone was getting close, it would raise its oval head with a mouth! Under the weird head was a level-four green crystal.

Cannibal Flower!

Ye Zhongming did get something from the Chain Prisoner.

He chose a few places to plant it when he left, but only this one survived.

When it picked up the master’s scent, the two-meter-tall purple flower was shaking. The oval-shaped head had a mouth full of sharp teeth. Its thick branches bent and drooped low to express that it was yielding.

Ye Zhongming went to touch it. A fierce aura spread from his fingers to his mind. It was the notification to use his blood to activate it.

Even Ye Zhongming was confused by that notification. This was the first time the Gardener job gave him a notification.

He thought about it, and he chose yes. The head of the Cannibal Flower opened and landed on Ye Zhongming’s arm.

Ah!

Liang Chuyin exclaimed and pulled out a whip to attack. But Ye Zhongming’s other arm held her back.

It broke Ye Zhongming’s skin before letting go. After it absorbed his blood, Ye Zhongming used Activate. Its body shrunk first before a red energy rose on its leaves. Very quickly, the purple flower turned purplish red, giving off this devilish color under the shine of the torches.

The flower started to grow out from the surface. The bald branches had a few palm-sized leaves. The center of each had a meter-long tube hanging down. The tip was very sharp. Apart from that, the flower looked more like a metal, not a plant.

“Level four Gilt Cannibal Flower. Ability 1: Eat evolved lifeforms to provide energy to evolve.”

“Ability 2: Absorb, absorb the blood of evolved to increase its defense.”

“Ability 3: Corrosive Trap; after it uses this skill, the soil around it will start to break down to raise its movement speed. The trap also can absorb blood.”

This… Ye Zhongming was delighted. The activate skill was so good? Skill 1 was nothing much, as the Cannibal Flower evolved in such a way, but the other two were very practical. It was hard to imagine what kind of sick defense and attack the flower would be once it evolved to a high level.

Moreover, this Cannibal Flower could move, and Ye Zhongming could place it anywhere!

This was a surprise!

Ye Zhongming studied it and noticed a small bundle below its head. Inside it were ten seeds!

This Cannibal Flower started to reproduce!
