Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1144: Second form

Floating white Frost Monsters, disappearing corpses, cold ground…

All of this made Ye Zhongming and Gan Lan feel cold.

They didn’t think ghosts existed, but the unexplainable scenes made them uneasy.

The outcome of such a feeling was often death.

They didn’t fear ghosts, just death.

Ye Zhongming looked around to confirm that the corpses had really disappeared. He turned around and looked toward the numerous Frost Monsters.

It would be good if those disappearing corpses didn’t affect them. If they did… He still had to kill those that were alive.

He held Staff of Nature. This time, it wasn’t to defend but to attack.

On it was a fire element gem.

Only Ye Zhongming would do such a thing.

Unlike strengthening, Ye Zhongming realized that gems could marge with mutated plants of the same nature.

Of course, this process had a high failure rate. Moreover, there was a high demand for the material. It had to be pure, and it would fail if it had other impurities.

With the material base of the secret realm, Ye Zhongming found many single nature plants. He had many water and ice gems, and their levels were high. So, he strengthened mostly other elements, most of which were fire elemental gems.

After all, the other element gems were too rare.

This rare intermediate fire gem was strengthened twice by Ye Zhongming, making it a B Grade 2 fire gem. B represented Intermediate, and two represented that he strengthened it twice.

The name was simple, but it represented strength. This gem was very powerful, and he kept it as his trump card.

But as there were too many monsters and the fire element countered them, he used it.

He placed it on the Staff of Nature, and a warm aura appeared in the sky. This was much more intense than Gan Lan’s armor, and the closest Frost Monsters paused.

A huge streak of light fired from the staff, and a giant tree image appeared in the sky. Although it was translucent, flames wrapped around it, increasing the temperature further.

The two ice birds were ice elements; even if they knew the tree was on their side, they flew back in fear and avoided it.

Gan Lan looked in shock.

She realized her gap with Ye Zhongming when Ye Zhongming instantly killed those Frost Monsters. But when this Staff of Nature appeared, she realized that there was a huge moat between them.

After the flame tree appeared, it shook twice, and blistering flames appeared on its crown. As time went on, they burnt even brighter.

When it got bright enough, the Frost Monsters were already close.

The flame tree’s attacks began.

If the flame tree only had branches when it appeared, after the burning flames appeared, it had leaves. The flames started to retract, forming small fireballs like it had bore fruit.

This magical and beautiful scene dazzled Gan Lan. Although both guys and girls were impressed by things, beautiful things more easily attracted girls.

After which, those fireballs started to shake quickly. As they shook, some of them fired.

The moment the first fireball flew, those behind it continued. A fireball rain occurred, and they targeted the Frost Monsters.

The first fireball hit the target. The fist-sized ball was nothing compared to the Frost Monster’s body, but it exploded and lit up when it hit it. It melted its body in a short time.

This meant that the fireballs could instantly kill the Frost Monsters.

The fireballs killed hundreds of them instantly, which cleared a huge area before him.

The melted Frost Monsters turned into liquid and froze into the ground.

Ye Zhongming looked and saw that these places were quickly returning to normal.

He was shocked.

For example, after a lake froze because of the low temperature, if you poured water on it, it would be easy to see the difference once it froze. After the Frost Monsters melted and froze, they would differ from the original ground.

But this difference disappeared in a short time!

This made Ye Zhongming think about the corpses in the ice mines.

Were they absorbed?

Ye Zhongming thought about it, and it made sense. The ground was absorbing their bodies.

But he didn’t have much time to think. There were too many Frost Monsters. Although hundreds were killed, more surged over.

The flame tree used the fireballs, but the flame light was much weaker. But it burnt once again and formed a hundred more fireballs.

The fireballs fired and gave another flame storm.

Then, a third time.

After this, the intermediate flame gem used all its energy and shattered.

Even if Ye Zhongming was rich, his heart hurt.

Nature gems were expensive. Along with the failure rate, this gem could be compared to a four-star potion, but it was consumed in one attack.

Fortunately, Ye Zhongming had some stock. He switched another, and the fireball rain continued.

Three times consumed the energy, but it also killed close to a thousand of them.

This efficiency stunned Gan Lan.

Ye Zhongming observed the remaining monsters and used the most simple area-to-number ratio to estimate the number of Frost Monsters.

Around ten thousand!

Which meant that his attacks only killed 20% of them.

But he didn’t want to waste the modified flame gem. He kept the Staff of Nature and tossed two groups of crystal grenades. It ripped the Frost Monsters into pieces, but the effect was much weaker than before. Only 200 of them were killed.

Then, he brought out the Soul Shattering Bone Staff.
