Chapter 904: Dangerous situation
At this moment, many people knew why those mutated lifeforms were so quiet for those few days.
It seemed like it wasn’t because they had lost motivation because the red mist had disappeared. They hadn’t given up on Cloud Peak. They wanted to… Have a full meal before leaving. They were channeling energy!
Many smart people would guess that the mutated lifeform might actually retreat if Ye Zhongming didn’t bring those support troops. After all, there weren’t that many people, and there wasn’t enough food for them.
But Cloud Peak sent reinforcements.
The entire Cloud Peak was filled with 200 thousand people. The scent they gave off sent the mutated lifeforms mad.
If they broke into the city, they could have a full meal!
These mutated lifeforms rarely had a chance to see so many human evolved gathered together.
The special thing was that the average human evolution level was similar to theirs and was slightly higher. As food, apart from being delicious, they were nutritious. These mutated lifeforms wouldn’t let this chance go.
The longer they gathered, the more attacks they launched. These mutated lifeforms became calmer and craved more food.
They could have their biggest feast since the apocalypse started as long as they took it down. Many lifeforms might evolve and reach higher levels because of that.
The highest mutated lifeform level was level eight. These were rare in the millions or tens of millions of mutated lifeforms. They were at the edge of the highest evolution level. So it was impossible that the mutated lifeforms didn’t crave reaching that level.
Ye Zhongming knew about those thoughts. Once a mutated lifeform reached level nine, it would rule an area and form its own territory.
Why did humans give these level-nine lifeforms names? Apart from their strength, it made it convenient to identify them.
For example, Yangos’s territory. It was better than calling it the level nine Western Dragon.
A territory was not as simple as having a fixed home. It would have the right to kill and rob lifeforms in its region. Not only could it control the threats in the territory, but it could also plan how to improve its own body and strength towards that higher realm that no lifeforms could reach.
When they reached level nine, many lifeforms first ate the level eight lifeforms in the territory…
Of course, these temptations were just dreams for high-level mutated lifeforms now, but that didn’t stop them from craving to reach such a level.
Humans were their best energy source, so they obviously wouldn’t give up on a chance to fill their stomachs.
If one observed carefully, humans would notice that the battles between mutated lifeform forces had increased. Before this, these fellows had small squabbles while seiging. The few level eight kings allowed such a situation to happen.
But now, they worked together to crush the city walls.
Accidents did happen. Two level-eight zombie kings were killed. One was dead because of its special body, and the humans could attack it from the walls. Although it nearly broke the walls, it died. The second zombie king died a little randomly.
But the mutated lifeforms had a strict level system. The zombie horde that comprised the highest numbers had many level seven zombie kings to replace the level eight zombie king. This allowed the agreement of the mutated lifeforms to continue.
Thus, after Ye Zhongming appeared and attacked, the mutated lifeform army made a move. They might not be sure of Ye Zhongming’s location, but it wouldn’t stop them from killing this human while they attacked.
“Protect Yellow Ball!”
Mo Ye’s voice became sharp and on the verge of breaking. Everyone could tell that Yellow Ball, Xia Bai, and Ye Zhongming were targets. Without support, even if they protected Ye Zhongming, Xia Bai and Yellow Ball were in a bad situation.
One mustn’t think that a level seven evolved was strong. Even the level eight zombie ape was killed under the human’s focus fire.
She got to work after shouting that. The giant wood talisman appeared above Yellow Ball. It wasn’t to attack anyone but to help them block some attacks.
The wind talisman appeared, too. A wind blade sliced many agility-type zombies about to jump on Yellow Ball’s back.
The crystal cannons and ranged skills on the wall were activated. They hoped to kill those little zombies that flew over. They didn’t want them to get close to Yellow Ball. Blood mist exploded in the sky. These little zombies were nimble, but their defenses weren’t outstanding. The moment they were hit, they were killed instantly.
Just when those on the walls heaved a sigh of relief, the cannon zombies’ liquid cannonballs arrived.
There were many of these liquid blobs, as dense as a storm! They were very quick. Under the cover of the small zombies, they hit Yellow Ball’s body while the human attacks were on cooldown.
Those attacks smacked into Yellow Balls’ body, giving a thumping sound that sent chills down the spines of people who heard it.
Yellow Ball was caught off guard and was sent tumbling forward. It lost its balance.
Xia Bai, who was holding onto Ye Zhongming with one hand and holding the scythe with the other, also fell downwards due to losing balance.
Anyone who saw those scenes exclaimed.
Many people ignored the cannon zombie attacks, mutated porcupine arrow rain, and moved in that direction. Many people looked over the walls and attacked in hopes of hitting those skills.
The armor started to crack, and there were many spots on it. Some parts of Yellow Ball that weren’t protected were even up in flames. These injuries made it cry.
The cannon zombies’ attacks were too dense, and there were too many types of attacks, which meant that Yellow Ball couldn’t defend against all of them.
The wings flapped, and it tried to stabilize. But it saw Xia Bai falling, so it charged down. It was quickly below Xia Bai so they could fall onto its back.
“Yellow Ball, be careful!”
Mo Ye shouted. The giant wood covered in holes started to fall, smashing the area behind Yellow Ball.
Xia Bai, who was trying to control her body and let the black armor bugs hold her up, took a look. Her eyes, which were always cold, were filled with shock. The pearl on the purple mask representing water lit up, and an extreme cold mist covered the area.
A giant figure was gliding close behind Yellow Ball. There were four giant heads on its bird-like body!
