Chapter 3870: The Illusionary Ancestor’s Investigation
Ye Zhongming took one look and felt like there were many ways to play around this battle feature.
First was the choice of target. Apart from Ye Zhongming, there were three other groups. Who should he select as his target? This wasn’t a random choice, as this challenge could be used many times. You could even use it before they passed the test, meaning you could use it three times.
So, the first and last choices affected the success rate. Think about it: If you challenged the weakest person, then when you challenged the strongest person, that person might be in a weak state. If you chose the strongest, you might be badly injured even if you win, such that you couldn’t even defeat the weakest person.
One could say that the challenge order was important, and he had to be very careful.
Next would be the location. The explanation mentioned that you could select any space on the path. As the challenges got tougher as it went on, normally speaking, it was best to snipe these opponents in the final few spaces. But as the three soils had different stats, some people might not be badly injured when they faced a soil space of a certain color.
Black soil was the most common. If the challenged person was immune or had damage reduction in such a space, they might even be able to use the soil; if Ye Zhongming chose this place, it would be a huge problem. Not only would his challenge fail, he might get killed instead.
Of course, he could wait until everyone entered the final few spaces. The other soil colors would hurt them, and they wouldn’t be in a good state. That would be the best opportunity.
But… There was still a problem: he didn’t have much time!
He took a deep breath and looked at the three groups.
He took a deep breath and looked at the three groups. He had to challenge them quickly, win, and get the final reward. Then heads out and saves his subordinates.
Who should he choose?
Demon Monster? That fellow wasn’t willing to fight outside but it went through the most spaces here. It was obvious that it could fight. The space prohibited energy, so its strength wasn’t restricted. Its body gave it an advantage, so it wasn’t wise to choose it.
The Death King Tree? But it was a level eight lifeform that absorbed the black soil. It might have even healed its injuries and might have been stronger. So many people surrounded it to barely defeat it. He didn’t have much chance to win if he went alone.
Choose the four-person group? His head hurt. Although he was sure that his body was stronger than any of them, but he was alone, and there were four of them. It was impossible to dodge all attacks in that small space. If he was surrounded and attacked and couldn’t use skills, he didn’t have the confidence to kill them.
Moreover, he had to consider that this wasn’t his only fight.
He moved around the pictures and clicked on a small space. He chose... The death King Tree as his first opponent!
Although it was a level eight lifeform, the highest level of the three of them, it could even absorb black soil to get stronger. But because it was a mutated plant, its skills were restricted, and it could only rely on its body. Its danger towards Ye Zhongming was the smallest.
Of course, this danger was relative. After all, its abilities were weird and it would catch him off guard. But he had another idea.
He picked a space and was teleported there. The Death King Tree just passed the space it was in, and the barrier broke. The human and tree met in such circumstances.
The Death King Tree was shocked.
Seeing the translucent tree that was not much taller than him, Ye Zhongming didn’t feel like it was weaker than its peak.
“You, it is you!”
Intelligent lifeforms consider many things sometimes. Like now, the tree was shocked that Ye Zhongming would appear here and not ambush it. It wondered if it was in a trap. It wasn’t like other mutated lifeforms that would charge at him immediately.
“It is me, I was the first to complete the challenge, so I gained some powers.”
The Death King Tree looked at him suspiciously and had some guesses about what he just said.
“This is the final reward; kill you, and I will get another quarter.”
Ye Zhongming raised the puzzle piece and showed it to the tree.
Killing intent flashed on her beautiful face. She was unhappy with what he said.
“Of course, you can kill me and get that final reward, but… I don’t know if you can use it.”
The tree was lost, and felt like Ye Zhongming was different today.
“If you can’t, then to you, only the black soil is useful. Our battle would be meaningless.”
“Why not? Let’s have a trade.”
This was the reason why he challenged it the first!
He could communicate with this tree, and they didn’t have a conflict of interest.
The demon monster didn’t have a human as a medium, so he couldn’t talk to it. They didn’t understand each other's meaning, so they couldn’t work together. The humans had a conflict of interest with him. They wanted the soil and the final reward, so naturally, they couldn’t talk calmly.
So, the Death King Tree was the best to talk to first to obtain the final reward.
“I can kill you and trade with the others.”
The Death King Tree understood what Ye Zhongming meant, but she gave a cunning smile.
Ye Zhongming shook his head, “Let’s not talk about you convincing the others; you are already not the first to pass the test, so you lost the right to challenge. You can only pass the spaces one by one and it will get more dangerous. You can’t absorb the red and yellow soil, so you definitely don’t feel good. Even if you pass the test, how strong will you be? Don’t forget, you might not be able to kill me. You can’t use World Nature here.”
The Death King Tree’s face became uncertain.
“We will work together, you give up, and after I get the final reward, I will… Return the Life Brain to you!”
