Chapter 1097: Puppet Ruins
The three of them hadn’t recovered from the shock and confusion when they left.
The information they got was just too shocking.
That person actually knew things about Bright Water World and even sold Ye Zhongming three locations.
Of course, there was a chance that the information was fake. But looking at him, they didn’t think it was. His words made so much sense. If you could lie to that level, Ye Zhongming would give up three five-star potions.
The three locations cost one five-star potion each.
If they were true, Ye Zhongming didn’t think they were too expensive. The three pieces of news he got were the location of the job advancement scroll, the Omnipotent equipment upgrade scroll, and the skill cooldown potion recipe.
The first two were extremely rare, and the latter was an item that could increase combat strength. Reducing cooldown time could directly increase combat strength.
The cooldown potion was significant to Ye Zhongming. To a certain extent, the potion affected his safety. The second life had a cooldown time; the shorter it was, the safer he was.
So he spent a considerable sum to purchase information about the three locations.
He didn’t buy more because he still needed to verify it, even if he felt like he wasn’t cheated.
“Boss, can we split up to go to three places tomorrow?” Zhao Xiangxue suddenly suggested to Ye Zhongming.
The three places were all in the third region where the ordinary evolved would head to. Since Five Ring Money gave this region to factions that weren’t too strong, it meant that these regions weren’t too dangerous. With their solo strengths, they could get these things alone.
But Ye Zhongming shook his head.
“Although we know some information, it isn’t much. To judge that there isn’t much danger just because of the information is too haphazard. Let’s head in together. If we can confirm that we can face it alone, it won’t be too late then to split up.”
With his mind made up, the three of them found a decent-looking hotel to enjoy comfortable beds. When they woke up, people in the entertainment zone had already started moving towards the hall they had come from.
The three of them followed and heard some people discussing where the big factions were going.
Ye Zhongming heard the stall owner mention that the big factions were in the second region.
While listening to these people and collecting some information, he heard some commotion ahead. He lifted his head and saw a bunch of Five Ring Money soldiers rushing over.
They wore the same equipment, and their levels weren’t low. It was their elite squad.
These warriors split toward two sides to reveal a person in a weird costume.
Judging whether this person was a guy or a girl was tough.
“You can call me Deacon Tong.”
A simple sentence made everyone quiet down. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Not only because he was one of the five deacons and on the country rankings, but everyone got news that said the control of Bright Water World was in this person’s hands.
This place was in another dimension, and no one knew what would happen. The person in control would control their lives to a certain extent, so naturally, they were respectful.
This person was terrifying, and it was correct to be careful in front of him.
“Apart from thanking all of you for helping Five Ring Money explore Bright Water World, I came to remind all of you that it is huge. It is so big that I don’t know all of it. I don’t know what dangers are hidden in every corner.”
Deacon Tong’s gaze continued to scan the crowd like he was searching for something.
“So please be careful. Although items are good, you need to be alive. Don’t be stubborn because Bright Water World will be open for many days. If you solve a problem you can’t solve, you can return to the entertainment zone and find others to work together. You might get fewer things, but it is better than getting nothing and even dying, right?”
Deacon Tong clapped, “In a while, the gates will open. You can choose where to head. Lastly, good luck.”
After saying that, he left with all the soldiers.
Ye Zhongming lifted his half-lowered head and looked at this person’s back view. He felt like this person’s gaze was weird. He did not need to come to say all that stuff, as he could have just sent someone.
But he wasn’t given much time to think. The walls made of rays of light started to change, and many colorful tunnels appeared.
“These tunnels lead to different places for you to choose from. They close in half a minute and reopen every 12 hours. You can return from your original path. Each time it opens, it lasts for ten minutes. If it passes, you must spend another 12 hours inside.”
A Five Ring Money person shouted and told them to make their choice.
Everyone started to discuss it, but they didn’t know where to go. No one explained where the tunnel led.
The time everyone had was too short, and the tunnels would close before they could discuss anything.
As the three of them knew the position, they walked towards a yellow tunnel.
Time was too short, so the evolved didn’t think so much and entered a tunnel they had chosen. Some tunnels had more people, and some had fewer people. There were even a few, and only one person entered.
Half a minute later, the dozens of tunnels closed at the same time, and the streaks of light returned to their previous appearance.
The trio entered a yellow tunnel and sensed an invisible pressure. As they often teleported between Earth and the Secret Realm, they were familiar with this feeling and walked calmly.
Behind them were over 20 evolved who had chosen this tunnel.
The three of them walked quickly to the other end. The people behind them looked at each other and followed.
After passing a bright jelly-like screen, they saw a mountain peak. Clouds wrapped around it. On one side, a fountain on the mid-waist of the mountain made the place look very ethereal.
Ye Zhongming looked at the mountain and knew they were in the Puppet Ruins.
