Chapter 1161: Plant face-off
Earth Sand Moon Blade was pulled out from the neck of the monster. After losing its life, it fell to the ground.
Ye Zhongming cleared a street by himself.
He sat on a corpse and panted. The first half was still okay, as there weren’t many monsters. Ye Zhongming was able to deal with it easily. In the latter half, the number of monsters increased. Even if he could insta kill them, he found it hard to keep up.
Ye Zhongming didn’t know how a nine-star evolved would fare here, but beneath a nine-star, you would be afraid of being surrounded. After all, an evolved had limited stamina and mental energy. Along with mutated lifeforms having different skills, even a strong evolved would be caught off guard.
Monsters like Ye Zhongming, who had a huge amount of mental energy, were the only ones who could be victorious when facing so many monsters.
But he was still human and not a god. After the intense battle, apart from the huge consumption, he suffered injuries.
When the last batch of monsters attacked, a teddy-bear-sized monster hid in the crowd. Ye Zhongming didn’t notice it, and it bit his leg. Although he wasn’t strong enough to break his defense, it made it hard for Ye Zhongming to move.
Ye Zhongming couldn’t free up a hand to deal with it, which affected his battle tempo. A monster punched his back, and he couldn’t handle the huge strength. He spat out blood, and the Star Armor cracked.
Fortunately, he broke free and charged back after resting for a short while.
As Star Elf reached the date, although he still had Star Sand, he didn’t have much left. He thought about it and didn’t choose to repair his armor.He was afraid he didn’t have time to head to West Asia. If the Imperial City battle started, he couldn’t head out. At the crucial moment, Star Sand could save lives.
He looked at the completion rate and frowned.
Trio’s completion rate did proceed quickly, but the weird thing was that No Man’s Zone was quick, too. The gap didn’t close but instead opened up.
He didn’t want to see that. There was only one reward, the Sauron’s Box. This was the most crucial item in his entire reward chain. If he couldn’t get it, those previous rewards would be far less valuable.
Ye Zhongming couldn’t understand how No Man’s Zone did it. He estimated their completion rate, and he should have been quicker than them.
He slightly regretted helping Five Ring Money at Hundred Cave Swamp. He had scouted this place but didn’t expect No Man’s Zone to have such terrifying strength.
Even splitting up couldn’t let them keep up?
He sighed. Seemed like he had to use some things.
He scattered some Fertile Soil and took out Cannibal Flowers. He activated these level-five mutated lifeforms.
Cannibal Flowers were special and couldn’t be brought out of some special space. So he tried not to use them. After all, Fertile Soil and the seeds weren’t endless.
After activating 50, he felt that it wasn’t safe, so he activated another 50. He would rather waste it than lose out on the box.
He took out the Proof of the Puppet and released a few hundred of them.
Of course, the two level six ice birds must also help. This was their first battle after evolving.
To be sure, he used a skill.
He modified one of the Cannibal Flowers and moved some parts of the Roselle Cedar onto it, naturally using his new grafting skill.
After which, he used Intelligence Mark!
He got this ability in Linhai that could control a plant and give it intermediate intelligence, but it had a thousand hour cooldown.
Ye Zhongming didn’t care about control, as the plants he nurtured would definitely be under his control. His main goal was the intermediate intellect.
He studied it and tested it once. It was better than expected.
It might not directly increase the mutated plant’s ability but could reduce the grafting adaptability period.
The grafting ability was very forceful. It would mesh two plants together, but after using it, they had to spend time adapting. Ye Zhongming realized that the stability of that period would affect the extent of the merger.
If it were stable, the final plant would obtain both sides' strengths. But if it were unstable, it would be less effective. It might add some abilities or have all the abilities, but it wouldn’t be too strong.
He wouldn’t be too worried if he used this at other times, as Cloud Peak would take good care of it.
But not now. He didn’t have time. He could only use other methods to allow this plant to reach his standards. Fortunately, he analysed this before.
After using the Intelligence Mark, the grafting adapting period was close to zero.
There was one more point. After having intermediate intelligence, the Cannibal Flower would be more disciplined. The leader would allow the other plants to fight around it. With the Cannibal Flower’s unique points, they would have much stronger combat strength.
The chosen plant was silent momentarily, and then its body shook. The purple body dimmed a little. A minute later, it looked much smarter than the others.
Ye Zhongming gave it an order, and it led the army into another street.
At the same time, Wen Hui was worried for her brother. He activated the second stage of the skill and summoned stronger plants. They spent up, but she didn’t know if that problem would reappear.
