Chapter 1370: Captured after returning

When Ye Zhongming just woke up, his vision was slightly blurred. He sensed some warmth, so a heat source should be beside him.

But he closed his eyes shortly after as he sensed that his body was being tied.

This meant that he was captured when he was unconscious.

Since he wasn’t dead, this meant that there was a chance. He acted as if unconscious and listened to the movement around to understand the situation.

There were sounds of people eating and drinking, but nobody spoke. He waited silently and also checked the condition of his body.

Before he fell unconscious, he injected mental energy into the Roselle Cedar and ignored everything. The Heima all bit him and covered him in pain.

Looking at him now, you would know that the defensive equipment was all useless. Those were all blue grade, and there were the shields from the two elemental elves. In just that short while, those small lifeforms sacrificed themselves to break Ye Zhongming’s armor.

Naked parrots like his head and neck were badly hit, and some places showed white bones.

If not for Ye Zhongming’s skin having a good defense, he would have died.

Of course, the most serious was the Bug Emperor’s final strike. Ye Zhongming sensed sharp teeth stabbing into his body. But he then fell unconscious and didn’t know what happened.

Now, he felt the pain in his chest. That hit nearly killed him.

Although he knew he was in his worst state since reviving, he was very calm.

He knew that he was back on Earth.

There was a familiar smell, familiar feeling, familiar power.

Everything had returned to normal.

Footsteps spread from afar, and they got close. The eating and drinking sounds stopped.

“Boss!”

“Brother Huo!”

“Second Uncle!”

These people greeted. This was obviously their leader.

“What happened?”

A low and steady male voice spread into Ye Zhongming’s ear.

“We are not sure.” A person two meters from Ye Zhongming said, “A few days ago, the animals in the forest went mad and messed up our camp. When a few of us were cleaning up, an explosion shocked us. We took a look and saw a weird fellow, but it was already dead. A huge hole was in its stomach, and a person lay beside it. This person is still unconscious.”

This person spoke clearly and described the situation. Not only did his boss understand, but Ye Zhongming understood, too.

That leader acknowledged. Ye Zhongming heard him walk two steps and observed the weird fellow’s corpse.

“I have never seen such a lifeform; there are no demon crystals.”

Ye Zhongming’s heart jumped. No demon crystals? Was it the lifeform Red Hair had bumped into?

“Its skin is so hard?”

“Boss, don’t you think that apart from horns, this thing looks like Alistar in League of Legends?”

“This is much thinner and weaker.”

“The wound in its stomach looks like… It exploded from within.”

“Boss! Stand far away. Look, what is that? It looks like a parasite!”

“Little Liu, can you calm down? This thing should be a dead plant lifeform. Which eye of yours sees that it is a parasite?”

“Ah? Haha, that is true.”

The few people surrounded the weird corpse and spoke. Ye Zhongming could guess the rough situation.

As these people described, Ye Zhongming was shocked. A thought appeared in his mind.

Was it…

He opened his eyes and saw that monster from the gap in the crowd.

Two meters long, with green-purple skin and similar limbs to humans, they were much stronger. Big hands and legs, each with only three fingers. Each finger was the size of a human’s palm and had no sharp fingernail. Its mouth was opened wide, so it should have been screaming before it died.

This fellow without demon crystals did not look like it posed a threat.

Ye Zhongmming wanted to see its open stomach to prove his guess, but those people blocked it, and he couldn’t see anything.

“Yi, this person is awake!”

A person saw Ye Zhongming open his eyes and exclaimed. He immediately drew everyone’s attention over.

“Can you speak?”

The boss walked over and looked at Ye Zhongming’s ropes and at that terrifying wound that had not healed. The wariness in his eyes reduced.

The rope was specially made. They came from branches in the rainforest, and after modification, they became soft and tough. Without seven-star strength, you couldn’t break free. Moreover, this person was so badly injured.

“Can…”

Ye Zhongming’s voice was hoarse; anyone could tell how weak he was. Apart from his injuries, the Unrest Season was also a cause.

“You killed this fellow?”

Before Ye Zhongming replied, that person carried a bag from the side.

“Boss, we found these on him. I think this is weird, so I didn’t kill him.”

The boss acknowledged and praised his subordinate.

He took the bag and took things out.

Although the defensive equipment was mostly shattered, some, like the battle contribution badge, space equipment, and mental energy necklace, were okay.

These things had to hang on his body. As for the others, they were in his space.

Another equipment wasn’t kept, which was the Blood Stepping Boots.

Golden equipment can hide its glow. Unlike the battle contribution badge, which was exquisite and beautiful, it wasn’t noticed and taken.

“This is space equipment?”

This boss was knowledgeable. He didn’t know what the battle contribution badge was, but he recognised the space equipment.

This was good, but ordinary people couldn’t get it.

“Who are you? Which faction do you belong to? Open the space!”

The boss’s eyes were filled with greed.

Ye Zhongming coughed and smiled.
