Chapter 1069: Underground Dungeon

Chapter 1069: Underground Dungeon

Ye Zhongming saw that they had drunk nearly all the blood and eaten some meat. He shook his head.

That woman lowered her head in disappointment.

“You don’t want?”

The collector with the injured arm stood up and held a piece of bloody meat. He walked toward Ye Zhongming while trying to pass it over.

Ye Zhongming looked at it like he hadn’t eaten for a long time.

A weird glow appeared in his eyes, and that piece of meat suddenly jumped. The pearl that was used to light up the area fired toward Ye Zhongming’s face. It was so quick that it whistled in the air.

The others exclaimed and didn’t expect this person to attack. It was impossible to dodge at this distance.

What shocked them was that the young man knocked aside the pearl like a fly.

Blood light shone, and the white dagger slashed across the guy’s throat.

His hand that could move held his neck, but that wound sliced half his neck. Blood rained down, so it was impossible to stop it.

The guy fell backward. He wanted to look at the guy who killed him, but the glow in his eye disappeared.

Ye Zhongming looked at the few remaining people.

He wanted to get the news he wanted calmly, but it didn’t mean he would accept everything, especially when people attacked him.

In this life, especially after Ye Zhongming created Cloud Peak, he rarely killed people except when something huge happened.

There was no need for him to kill people personally. His decision or even one sentence represented the deaths of many.

But it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t kill. This was an instinct. As long as someone threatened his life, he wouldn’t hesitate and would show no mercy.

What he was going to do was to kill the others.

“Wait, wait.”

The captain’s injuries had gotten better. He waved at Ye Zhongming, “He isn’t with us.”

Ye Zhongming laughed coldly, but he didn’t trust him.

“We know each other, but we aren’t usually together.”

That woman also explained. She raised her steel cone and defended against Ye Zhongming.

This made Ye Zhongming believe her a little.

These people thought that he was a four-star evolved. So if they fought three against one, even if someone got injured, they still didn’t fear him. The reason they explained was because that person really wasn’t on their side.

This made him stop.

“I just arrived and need some news.” Ye Zhongming continued, “Tell me what I need to know, and this cow is yours.”

This trade was very tempting to people who had a tough time here. Ye ZHongming’s strength meant they didn’t think about taking all the prey.

In this dark mine, sometimes working together was more meaningful than killing one another.

They split the cow up and tossed the parts they couldn’t eat while taking all the meat.

“You don’t want the shell?”

To Ye Zhongming, the most valuable part of it, apart from the demon crystal, was the two triangular-shaped shells.

“It is useless.”

The other guy carried two pieces of meat and didn’t care if the blood dirtied his clothing. He ignored the two pieces that seemed most valuable to Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming shook his head. Although level four materials weren’t much to Cloud Peak, outside, this was a very good item and could be sold easily for a decent price.

He took a look. The two pieces of armor were great for protective gear. To toss it away made his heart hurt. He ripped the clothing of the person he killed into threads and, tied two to the shell and dragged them along.

They were very honest and answered Ye Zhongming’s questions while walking. They introduced the situation here.

He listened to their words and linked them to what Lin Yixun said. He realized a problem.

This… It might be a dungeon!

An underground dungeon!

The mist wasn’t mist but the barrier!

Only that could explain why there were these camouflaging monsters and also why Lin Yixun and the others would say that these were ruins. It could also explain the stone pearls.

“Do you think these pearls are actually the tears of the mutated lifeforms here?”

When he heard the female collector's information, he couldn’t suppress his shock and asked.

“En, or rather, something from their eyes.”

Ye Zhongming asked, “Why don’t the other people know?”

Lin Yixun didn’t tell him about this.

“Not many know.” That captain explained, “Little Ling was taken away by a monster here, and when she was trapped in the cave, she saw it happen. Those monsters would secrete a liquid flowing into the rocks and form these stone pearls within a few seconds.”

“But they thus merged into the rocks and need you to excavate them.”

“Do you know what they are used for?”

It was just a casual question. He didn’t think that the four-star evolved that were trapped here for a long time would know the answer.

Even if they might be strong outside before they were trapped.

But the truth was, these few answered.

“Energy medium.”

It was still that woman, “Someone noticed that the stone pearls had some energy, but it was only one time, so they weren’t certain. Not many people know about it, and I am coincidentally one of them.”

Medium?

Ye Zhongming took out the one that Lin Yixun gave him and tried to inject energy or mental energy into it but failed.

He didn’t fully believe those words.

He knew that he would only find out what this thing was used for when it came, so the last thing was to try to collect more of them.

“Get all the pearls I can in the shortest amount of time?”

When they heard Ye Zhongming, the captain and the two others looked at each other and hesitated, “If you give us the white dagger, then we can tell you a secret.”
