Apocalypse Gachapon-Chapter 917: Fight or peace

“Long time no see.”

Death King Tree’s beautiful female face smiled as if those corpses on the ground had nothing to do with her.

Ye Zhongming kept silent and didn’t say anything. He knew that the Death King Tree purposely led him here.

But he had to come, and the Death King Tree knew it.

There was a massive difference in strength from all the level eight lifeforms Ye Zhongming had seen.

The zombie ape that appeared in the Cloud Peak defense battle wasn’t very strong because its strengths and weaknesses were obvious, and it was easy for people to target. If it weren’t too talented and didn’t have many talent skills, it would be the weakest out of all of the same level.

Another one of this type was the level eight Pink Ball. Strictly speaking, it was only seven and a half, or it had level eight level but level seven strength. If not, Red Hair wouldn’t be able to kill it. This was the gap between natural lifeforms and ones that were created. Even after Cloud Peak grasped this technology in the future, the situation probably won’t be any better.

The five-headed level-eight beast were average, and they were special presence. Out of the beasts, they were definitely the top. So, in the same level of lifeforms, although they were weaker than those extremely strong, they were still strong enough.

Such a lifeform was the most common in the entire level.

Of course, there were some, like the pliosaurus Ye Zhongming met at the Ocean King Wheel or the three-nosed little elephant. These fellows didn’t attack, so it was hard to judge.

Apart from those, the remaining ones were at the top.

Yellow Ball, Talking Lady, and Red Hair all belonged to this category for level seven lifeforms. They rarely had opponents at their level, and it was hard for them to decide who would win if they fought. Be it their bodies or abilities, they would crush the weaker ones of the same level and have an advantage over the ordinary ones.

Although level eight was a higher level, the pattern continued. Ye Zhongming had seen two of such, the Chain Prisoner and the Death King Tree.

Of course, you could count Yangos or the Pliosaurus, but Ye Zhongming hadn’t fought that fellow, so he couldn’t judge their strength. But as a dragon, they wouldn’t be too weak.

Such a presence summoned Ye Zhongming here at such a crucial moment. He had to come; otherwise, it would pose a huge threat.

If he ignored this message and the Death King Tree participated in the siege, World Nature would probably destroy Cloud Peak within half an hour. The significant aoe attack would kill many ordinary evolved instantly. Once they lost the walls, no matter how Cloud Peak tried, they couldn’t stop the mutated army.

Moreover, Ye Zhongming had to come alone. Everyone was fighting, so the city defense would be a problem if he brought some strong helpers. He couldn’t let Cloud Peak get broken into, so he had to come alone.

But he wasn’t overconfident. He wasn’t the person that had met the Death King Tree at Linhai.

He was now a seven-star evolved. Moreover, his job, skills, and equipment were all much stronger. Ye Zhongming could only rely on the Staff of Nature then and was suppressed. If he fought it now, he didn’t fear it at all.

Although he might still lose in the end, if he didn’t lose his head, the Death King Tree couldn't kill him.

He had confidence but he wasn’t arrogant. He observed it. It was different from Linhai. If one had to describe it, it was now a crystal tree.

The Death King Tree was beautiful. From its branch to the branches, it gave off a stunning color. The entire tree was 2.5 meters tall.

What shocked him wasn’t the crystal body but the female body inside. In the past, the face was the face, and the body was the body; they were separated. Now, they were actually together.

Even after seeing many beauties, such as Liang Chuyin, Xia Lei, Park Xiuying, Mo Ye, Zhao Xingmei, Gan Lan, etc., he had to admit that this female body was perfect and had no flaws.

He glanced at the demon crystal. The orange was very light and starting to become the same color as its trunk.

After being badly injured and losing much of its strength, it was able to recover and was close to level nine.

“How do we describe the human’s situation?” Death King Tree was in thought, “You are not happy? Don’t want to see me? Hate me? Or are you in awe of my body?”

Ye Zhongming’s mouth twitched. He felt like the Death King Tree’s brain was a bit messy as it was a mix of human and plant.

“You came here at this time to pick a fight?” Ye Zhongming looked at the corpses. Although most were sucked dry but their clothing was well-preserved. They were all wearing a standard uniform.

This was not something an ordinary squad could give. Even though Cloud Peak only had similar equipment, their uniforms weren’t at this level.

Death King Tree blinked its beautiful eyes, “Fight? No, no, no. I want to eat you. My appetite today is good. Eat you, then…”

Its crown waved towards Cloud Peak, “Eat a bit more, and I think I will be on the edge of evolving.”

Ye Zhongming’s heart sank. As expected, after this fellow’s injuries healed, it chose a good time and planned to eat him.

Due to nature essence, either plants treated him like family, or they treated him like a feast.

Ye Zhongming shook his head, “You can’t kill me. I can even try to kill you.”

The Death King Tree was stunned and laughed.

“What do humans call that? Preposterous!”

“No, although I am not 100% certain, I have 80% confidence.” He took out the Soul Shattering Staff and stuck it to the ground. He started to activate the marks slowly.

He had tested its strength, and he was shocked. But he neglected something which almost killed him.

But that couldn’t hide the fact that this soul artifact was strong. Even the level eight beast couldn’t survive its attack. It was no weaker than a purple piece of equipment—the best type of purple equipment, not things like the crystal energy gun.

Death King Tree saw Ye Zhongming take a weird weapon, and at first, it was filled with disdain. Even if Ye Zhongming got stronger, there was still a level gap. It was one of the top level eight monsters, and it was confident that it could eat this human.

It used its intelligence to call Ye Zhongming over at such a time so that his annoying subordinates wouldn’t be able to follow. It just wanted a full meal to get the energy to prepare to become level nine.

But before it could say something, fear appeared on that beautiful female face. It even took two steps back.

The Death King Tree felt a terrifying power from the staff. Especially when those marks lit up, that power became more apparent.

Even when it faced the Chain Prisoner, the Death King Tree probably wouldn’t be so afraid.

What was going on?

What terrified it was the bone staff itself.
