Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 995: Same type monster

They had faced a sneak attack, so their formation wasn’t kept well. As these mutated lifeforms were quick, they were forced to battle enemies closest to them.

Battles often needed people to work with one another. By better-utilizing resources, you could increase your combat strength. This was why when two sides with similar numbers and equipment quality fought, the army would be stronger than the other.

After witnessing the resistance zone and Glory Army’s forces, Cloud Peak worked hard to develop in this direction. Xia Bai’s battle squad was the most elite squad, and their coordination was already very good, so naturally, they were one of the stronger ones.

However, they were forced to fight for themselves in the current situation, and this affected their combat strength.

Ye Zhongming took a look and knew there wasn’t much he could do. He could only select that slightly stronger mutated scorpion as his opponent.

Xia Bai faced the slightly weaker Desert Centipede.

The desert scorpion was much tougher to deal with than those zombies. This was not only because of its huge body, which was covered in thick sand armor, but also because of its many attack styles.

It had two thick, sharp pincers and a long tail that increased its range. Its agile mobility also created a chance for it to attack.

Ye Zhongming fought it several times and found it problematic. His skills smashed onto its body, causing sand to splash, but he couldn’t hurt it.

But it was only slightly problematic. Ye Zhongming was experienced in dealing with lifeforms with strong defense. He started to aim at the joints where the sand armor wasn’t as thick.

On the other side, Xia Bai’s battle against the centipede intensified.

Someone like Xia Bai would execute it firmly when she decided on something.

Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai knew that as the strongest on their side, they had to end their fight quickly to reduce the losses of their subordinates. With such a thought, her desire to risk her life began.

The green scythe sliced toward the mutated centipede. She ignored its attacks and even took off her defensive equipment.

To others, this method was unbelievable. Although the mutated centipede was hard to deal with, it spat out a poison mist, its joints were very sharp, and it swung its giant body; that centipede wasn’t level seven. If Xia Bai had some time, she would definitely be able to kill this fellow.

But Xia Pai avoided the mist and charged at the sharp joints. She couldn’t block it, and that left many wounds on her body, covering her in blood.

Due to her passive, the scythe became stronger as she got more injured. When her stomach was pierced, the scythe could easily slice its body.

At this level, the mutated lifeform would only get sliced into pieces.

Xia Bai was the first to end her battle, even quicker than Ye Zhongming.

On the warriors' side, they were still okay when fighting the zombies. Although they couldn’t kill all the zombies, they were on the same level. Those that were facing the two cacti weren’t in such a good state. Their bodies were covered in spikes so no one could get close. Moreover, it fired those spikes, and they were poisonous. In a short while, dozens of warriors were hit; two were slightly more serious. The others backed out because they were poisoned.

When Xia Bai rushed over, the mutated cacti felt threatened, and all its spikes exploded, turning into an arrow rain.

This was an AOE attack that covered the entire battlefield. All the Cloud Peak warriors were hit with many spikes. Many were injured because of this sudden attack, and the first deaths started to appear. A few warriors didn’t pay attention, and their backs were facing the spike. They were unlucky, and they pierced their necks, killing them instantly.

The others didn’t find it easy either. Most warriors were injured, and the entire battlefield was tragic.

Xia Bai’s squad were all important members and everyone was precious. No one expected them to lose a few elite warriors here.

Ye Zhongming tanked a hit of the scorpion to get close and thrust his blade into its mouth. After paying the price of an injured arm, he killed it.

The two cacti were also sliced by many furious warriors. Only the zombies who lost a large amount of their numbers from the cacti attack remained.

The battle ended quickly, and although Cloud Peak won, Xia Bai’s Squad’s combat strength reached around half. Apart from those few warriors that died, half were poisoned. Although the situation wasn’t too serious, they couldn’t continue to fight.

It was obvious that they couldn’t continue to explore. Ye Zhongming gave the order to retreat to the Space Stack Gate.

On the way back, the team was solemn. Even if they found companion crystals on those monsters, which proved that they were the same source as those hundreds of zombies they had killed, but it didn’t improve their morale.

When they returned to the camp by the gate, the Cloud Peak warriors guarding the place were shocked. How did that happen?

They used saint water and potions to treat the injuries. Those with light injuries recovered quickly, and those with slightly more serious ones would recover tomorrow.

As the Posthumous people didn’t send back any bad news, Ye Zhongming could remain here. But he couldn’t think of an explanation for what he had faced.

But unexpected things always happened. That night, someone found Cloud Peak.

When he saw those few West Asians, Ye Zhongming felt respect for them. Their levels weren’t high, but they dared to travel at night.

But he couldn't sit still when he heard the news they brought.

They brought news from Shiekha Saeed.

Ye Zhongming immediately brought his squad, which had mostly recovered, to follow these people to search for the West Asian who had Star Sand.
