Apocalypse Gachapon

Even if his body tried to adapt, he was still affected by this sudden freefall.

Ye Zhongming dared not press his hands on the ground, fearing his arm would break. Having a broken arm in this unknown environment was not a wise decision.

He curled up and used the defensive equipment and his body’s flexibility to reduce the impact.

His throat felt sweet, and he was about to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. He suppressed it and stopped after making a few spins on the ground.

This was to avoid being attacked.

Fortunately, the predicted danger didn’t arrive.

Some liquid splattered on the area where he landed, but it quickly disappeared. Ye Zhongming lifted his head and saw that the membrane 50 meters above was healing quickly.

The area above him returned to normal, and it was green.

Ye Zhongming had to admit that this scene was very special.

Those branches swam along the membrane. Ye Zhongming couldn’t see where they stretched from. The roots stretched into the darkness. He didn’t think much when he was within, but now, when he looked at it, his head felt numb.

Maybe because it lost its target, but those branches stayed in the liquid before retreating.

He lowered his head and sized the area around.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

Roots!

Ye Zhongming felt like these were much thicker and firmer than the branches and had a similar color to the sticky liquid.

As he didn’t know if they would attack him, he was careful not to touch them. He looked and saw that they had no movement, so he stood up and observed the area around him.

This was a tree hall that was made by these various shaped branches. Many branches wrapped around each other to form a branch mountain. On it was the sticky liquid.

His legs felt sticky because of the liquid that had dried.

There was no place for him to put his foot down. He stopped on the branches to move forward. The King Death Tree knew he was here, so there was no point in hiding. He even sliced those that blocked his path.

But his actions didn’t draw any retaliation.

Ye Zhongming continued for a while and noticed a problem. No matter what shape these branches were or how tall they were, they were mostly like pillars.

Ye Zhongming frowned and thought about it. He then climbed to the top of a branch mountain and looked down.

The scenes shook him.

He thought about those classic sci-fi movies where those eggs were lined up.

If these brown branches were seen as eggs, they were similar to those weird eggs in movies.

Was this the place where the King Death Tree was nurturing its descendants?

It was reproducing?

Ye Zhongming was shocked. He couldn’t imagine the world if this strong and weird tree had numerous offspring.

Was it really reproducing?

Ye Zhongming turned his head as he spotted something moving at the corner of his eyes. He saw one of the branches moving towards the other branches. He didn’t hesitate and charged. When he was close, he slashed towards that branch mountain.

The firm branches were very problematic to deal with. Moon Edge was sharp, and he only sliced one of them. When Ye Zhongming pulled the broken branch out from the rest, the green liquid surged out from within.

Ye Zhongming’s body was covered in this thing, but he didn’t care. Not only didn’t he dodge, he even squeezed into the gaps.s

He wanted to see what was inside the branch mountains.

The liquid stopped flowing, and Ye Zhongming noticed a thick pipe inside the branches, and these liquids came from there.

This was connected to the liquid lake above. They connected the area below to the area above?

Ye Zhongming squatted down to take a look.

Did the liquid have other functions?

“Save…”

A sudden weak voice rang above Ye Zhongming’s head, causing his back to be covered in cold sweat.

He jumped and then turned around, holding the demon crystal energy gun. The gun pointed at where the voice came from.

“Gaye?”

When Ye Zhongming saw the person who made that noise, he noticed that it was the mixed-blood guide that he thought was dead.

This was within the branch mountain, and it was closed off. The liquid that gave off light had flowed, so this place was dark. Ye Zhongming was attracted by the tube on the ground, so he didn’t look up.

But his senses were sharp. He did scout the area above but didn’t sense that there was anyone.

Ye Zhongming took out a torch to shine above and saw Gaye hanging on top. His hair and body were covered in sticky liquid, and his eyes were half open. His limbs hung low, and he looked weak.

The torch shone around, and there were five people around Gaye. They were hung at the top of the branch mountain. But their eyes were closed, and their faces were scarily white like ghosts.

Ye Zhongming bit the torchlight with his mouth while taking two daggers. He used them to climb. He wanted to put Gaye down but hesitated and saw that he was hanging off something.

Two finger-thick suction tubes were stuck into his neck and spine. The translucent tube had a pair of inner tubes. The one closer to Ye ZHongming was sucking flesh and blood while the other sent green liquid into the guide’s body.

What was this?

Ye Zhongming didn’t understand what it was doing. If he did anything rashly, he might kill Gaye.

Ye Zhongming bit his teeth and sliced the tube. At the same time, he grabbed Gaye’s body.

The branch mountain shook because the tube was sliced.

Liquid and blood splattered, giving off a bad smell when mixed.

Ye Zhongming jumped from above. He asked Gaye, “You might die if I pull it out, should I?”

Gaye blinked and opened his mouth. He said weakly, “If I die, take care of my son.”

Ye Zhongming nodded and pulled the tube out. At the same time, he used his hands to press down against the flowing blood and spinal fluid.

Gaye’s body shook, and he fainted.

Ye Zhongming ripped the corner of his shirt to bandage his wounds while pouring a healing potion into his mouth.

Ye Zhongming had no healing user beside him, so this was all he could do. Gaye's survival depended on him.

When he placed Gaye down, Ye Zhongming noticed something and raised his head. The five others opened their eyes and were looking down at him coldly!
