Chapter 550: Gotcha!

Zhang Mu looked at the sky in the distance and felt a sense of understanding.

If they were judging victory based on training elite fighters, then indeed the plant tribe won.

It should be said that the three evolved beings are Cang Yu, Luo Wanxun, and oneself.

Even though the human race is large in number now, the third-place peak holds no value in the eyes of the opponent, and indeed serves as mere cannon fodder.

It’s not surprising that the human race lost.

Amidst the chaos of the crowd, the mechanical voice rang out once again.

“The strongest evolved beings of each tribe will receive racial rewards, teleportation will begin shortly, please be prepared.”

The next moment, two flashes of white light passed, and Zhang Mu and Hachikuju disappeared on the spot.

In a vast empty space, suddenly three figures emerged.

Zhang Mu looked around suspiciously and saw the figures of Hachikuju and another woman.

Suddenly, Hachikuju’s voice sounded in his ear.

“That woman is Demoness Moon Queen, also known as Death Phoenix. The three of us are probably the top evolved beings of our respective races who have been transported here to receive some rewards.

It’s a bit sad though. Why does the term ‘evolved beings’ sound so harsh to my ears?”

Zhang Mu couldn’t help but smile. He had long seen through it all. Just as Su Rui had said before, humans might just be seen as mere ants for amusement by others. Even the three of them, the strongest individuals, were unable to resist being transported here, which spoke volumes.

After merging with the blood vine, he was getting closer to reaching the fourth-rank advanced level. He was indeed the strongest among the plant beings. As for Hachikuju, he was the only one awakened in the human race.

This Death Phoenix, left behind due to the disappearance of the ghost general, was not taken away and had been recognized as a member of the Beastman. Unfortunately, she is now all alone.

“Shouldn’t normal people be excited when facing such rewards? I guess we’re going to disappoint the other party.”

Hachikuju, holding his battle axe nonchalantly, looked at Zhang Mu and said.

Yes, Hachikuju doesn’t care anymore, she even wants to mess with those troublemakers, she’s not even interested in what they are. That Death Phoenix Demoness Moon is almost going crazy because of Wang Liang now.

Zhang Mu suddenly felt like seeing their expressions, since they are going to reward them, they should show up.

“Hello, all you top-notch evolved beings.”

Zhang Mu and the others couldn’t locate the voice. When they frowned, the voice slowly said, “I am the spirit of this space. No need to search for me. I am everywhere in this space. You can call me, Spirit.”

Zhang Mu spoke first, just a spirit of the space, there’s nothing to not accept.

“Spirit, are you here to give us rewards?”

“Yes.”

A cold light flashed in Zhang Mu’s eyes, “Where is your master? Why isn’t the person behind you willing to come out?”

The spirit’s voice was very plain, as if talking about something unimportant.

“Because you are too weak and not qualified, I will take care of you, which is the best treatment.”

Even though he didn’t give them any face, Zhang Mu didn’t mind at all and laughed out loud, “So our strength now is so low in the eyes of the other side that we don’t even have the qualification to talk?”

“Regrettably, yes.”

Ling spoke truthfully, which made Hachikuju extremely angry. He was about to break open this strange space, but Zhang Mu stopped him.

“He spoke the truth, our power is too insignificant.”

“Now, it’s time to give out rewards. Since the fourth-ranked zombie clan has been completely eliminated, the reward for the fourth place is canceled, and you can choose from three rewards.”

Zhang Mu was puzzled because he remembered that in future times, these rewards were distributed according to ranking, so he wondered why they could now choose.

Just when he was confused, three bright orbs suddenly appeared in front of him, shining brightly and attracting the attention of three people.

It was not because of their brightness, but the enchanting power emanating from them.

“The crystal on the left side helps a strong warrior at the fourth level advance to the fifth level, the crystal in the middle aids early to mid-stage evolution for fourth-level beings, and the square crystal on the right side gives a chance for those at the fifth level to break through to a higher level.”

After hearing the explanation, Hachikuju coldly laughed and said, “What’s the point of choosing randomly? Might as well just decide. The first person will definitely choose the one on the far right, the second will pick the left one, and the poor third person will end up with the useless trigonal crystal in the middle.”

After speaking, Hachikuju glanced at Death Phoenix beside him. The significance of these prizes was immense, and as time accumulated, their effects would become increasingly apparent.

As Hachikuju said, the light emitted by the trigonal crystal in the middle was the dimmest and the most inconspicuous.

However, Zhang Mu, who was facing it, was completely stunned in place.

Isn’t this the item that brought him back to life before?

He couldn’t be mistaken; it was indeed that item. The ultimate goal of his entry into the Era Battlefield was placed right in front of him so clearly.

The human race previously had no choice but to choose it. As time passed, the human race realized that the gap between them and other tribes widened significantly due to the failure of the era war. They regarded it as an ominous object, and the big shots all rejected it.

It eventually fell into the hands of some minor forces. For these forces, it was a small treasure if it could help in advancing to the fourth level, giving Zhang Mu, who was only in the early stage of the fourth level at the time, a chance to seize it.

For him, having more strength means having more chances to survive and continue the Era Sub-merchant mission, so the ominous object that others don’t want is definitely a treasure in his eyes.

Finally, he was truly given a fresh start opportunity.

It was like a Pandora’s Box, quietly sitting there yet emanating an alluring light, tempting Zhang Mu to uncover all the truths.

The strongest of the plant species, please choose your deserved reward.

A spiritual hint suddenly sounded in Zhang Mu’s ear, with a steady voice urging him to complete the task quickly.

Without even thinking, Zhang Mu took two steps forward. He couldn’t take his eyes off the trigonal crystal from the beginning, and amid Hachikuju’s astonished gaze, he walked towards the center.

Is Zhang Mu acting silly?

Hachikuju’s mind was only filled with one thought; he tried to speak but found himself unable to move, just like Death Phoenix next to him.

They could only watch in horror as Zhang Mu steadily approached the most useless trigonal crystal in the middle.

Any warnings in Zhang Mu’s mind were blocked, including reminders from Vaidehi, all were blocked.

He was just following his heart.

Finally, he encountered something he had always dreamed of.

But in the moment of contact, the icy touch made Zhang Mu shudder and suddenly wake up.

He was horrified to find that he had chosen it.

Ordinary people would never choose him!

The voice in his heart seemed to be captured, the spiritual voice finally carried emotional changes, and the tone was very familiar.

It was the person who released the wave of evolution!

“Ordinary people would naturally not choose him, unless it’s you.”

“Finally caught you, Star Spirit.”
