Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 359: Conned again

Ah Tao was carried. He led two hunting captains and Miya to attend this operation.

It was obvious that they still didn’t trust Ye Zhongming.

“These are the crops that you plant?”

There was soil that was touched outside of the tunnel. Some plants that Ye Zhongming had never seen.

“Right, eating meat will cause illnesses, so we must eat these. But the soil is barren and cursed by the Witch of Sadness. The ground is poisoned.”

Witch of Sadness?

Ye Zhongming was more and more interested in the secret realm. This was a whole new world, of course… Ye Zhongming looked at the sky and felt like this was a new, broken world.

Ah Tao told him about many things. For example, the place he appeared in was Night Plains. It was where monsters roamed. It intersected with the Starlight Mountain region they lived in through Undead Hill.

A side of Starlight Mountain was where Dawn Saint Hall was. Those people had strong skills and were very racist. They saw the Posthumous people as low class and didn’t even treat them as humans.

Ye Zhongming naturally asked him about how to leave the Secret Realm. Of course, he did so roundaboutly, but Ah Tao didn’t say anything. Ye Zhongming’s question was too deep for someone who had never walked out of the mountain region.

But his words did help Ye Zhongming. At least he knew what the area around was like. He knew who was here and that the monsters were the kings here. Humans were struggling to survive and were on the verge of going extinct.

He also knew something, which was that earthquakes often occurred here. Its magnitude was different, but it was common. That sentence left a huge impression on him.

Ah Tao said that after every earthquake, he felt like the earth was being ripped apart, and crying. Like the cries of despairs from humans when they were about to die.

That sentence was vague, and the ground splitting when earthquakes were common, but Ye Zhongming’s heart sank.

He knew Ah Tao’s mental energy was strong and could compare to the level-six dragon. What Ye Zhongming cared about was those seemingly useless words.

The earth was crying like it was in despair.

Earthquakes meant that the core wasn’t stable. The plates were clashing with each other. Adding in those things floating in the sky…

Ye Zhongming realized that this Secret Realm was on the verge of collapse.

This guess made him nervous and more anxious to leave this place.

They didn’t face any dangers along the way as this was the border. The monsters from Night Plains couldn’t cross Undead Hill. It was as if they were terrified of that place. The monsters in Starlight Mountain liked heading into the mountains as it was easier to find there. So there weren’t many monsters here.

Of course, this was just in comparison. Posthumous People were experienced, so they knew when to head out. Now was the sunset when the monsters’ activity reduced.

A few hours later, they arrived at Undead Hill. Ye Zhongming knew how lucky he was actually to cross it unscathed. Ah Tao said that you would get attacked when you entered the hill. Their numbers would increase, and more undead lifeforms would appear to drown you.

Ye Zhongming was wise to use the basic ice element stone to kill these undead. If not, if more undead appeared and stronger ones appeared, it would be near impossible to escape.

Ah Tao’s men didn’t dare to come here, and each time they came, they were terrified.

Ye Zhongming saw that the skeletons he had killed had disappeared—especially those low-level ones. Most fell into the mountain body, and only some higher-level bones were still on the ground.

“Are you sure that they won’t charge forwards into the border? Even the stronger ones won’t?”

Ah Tao asked a crucial question.

Ah Tao was very sure. This was proven many times by their ancestors.

Ye Zhongming stopped speaking and told everyone to get prepared to fight. He timed it and charged down the hill.

Ye Zhongming’s speed shocked the Posthumous people. He was so quick, and in just a few breaths, he was dozens of meters out and into the hill.

Maybe this place hated him. The moment he stepped in, skeletons stretched out from below. He didn’t care and ran to the previous place where he fought to pick up the bones above the black color.

When he picked the black and a few blue bones, hundreds of undead appeared, and they tried to surround him.

He tied the bones and charged back.

As he wasn’t too deep in and quick, the number of undead wasn’t so many that it sent him into despair. With Moon Edge, he was able to charge out. The highest-level undead was only black, so it could not stop him.

He tossed the bones to the Posthumous people but didn’t leave. He charged into the undead.

“Ye, what are you doing? Let’s go! More of them will appear, and they will get stronger and stronger!”

Ah Tao used his mind to contact Ye Zhongming, but he didn’t get a reply. He was so anxious that he trampled on the spot.

It was as if they felt like they were being provoked. Undead Hill started to produce more undead. Very quickly, a blue bone appeared. Different from the skeleton cavalry, it was a bird this time.

It didn’t stop. The second appeared, and it was a twin-blade warrior.

A third… Blue Bone Earthwalker Beast.

The Posthumous people panicked. The others shouted and told him to return.

Three level-four undead. It was tough for him, so he retreated.

He had to pay the price for such provocation. The twin-blade warrior hit his back. Although he tried to dodge and wore the grey defensive gear, a wound appeared, and he bled.

The undead charged at him as he charged through the barrier. Ye Zhongming shouted for the Posthumous warriors to kill them. He led the attack towards those undead who were chasing.

At the same time, he stuck Nature Staff to the ground and activated a basic-grade ice gem. Water Bottle Protection appeared to protect Ye Zhongming and the Posthumous warriors.

“Ah Tao don’t forget what you promised.” Ye Zhongming said to Ah Tao.

Ah Tao looked at the undead that couldn’t cross and the mysterious figure that was protecting himself from the ranged undead attacks. He opened his mouth and knew that this kid had conned him…
