The creature was a heavily scaled, mutated lifeform, roughly the size of an adult male elephant, relatively small among the vast array of lifeforms depicted.
Beyond its scales, this creature possessed a pair of sharp, curved horns, a protruding snout filled with razor-sharp teeth, and an overall muscular build. The thick scales didn't give it a cumberso appearance; instead, it looked agile, clearly a terrifying entity excelling in both speed and physicality.
In the apocalypse, evolved particularly feared this type of creature.
Ye Zhongming had his reasons for choosing a fifth-row lifeform.
First, he couldn't be certain about the guardian beasts' exact strength. Apart from the energy bars, the patterns provided no descriptions—everything was guesswork.
Under these circumstances, selecting lower-tier guardians might result in insufficient strength, failing to intimidate others when collecting "toll fees" later. That would be handing out free gifts.
Second, Ye Zhongming wanted to gauge the cost range of these guardians. Mid-tier selections should logically have mid-tier prices.
Of course, this wasn't absolute, but it was the only viable approach.
One could estimate based on energy bar lengths, but what if those lengths were rely conceptual rather than concrete indicators? Ye Zhongming trusted the conventional assumption that mid-tier guardians would have mid-tier prices.
Following Cannibal Chain's example, he fed unused items into the guardian's energy bar, watching it fill gradually.
Cloud Peak's mbers observed intently, finding the process fascinating in itself.
Soon, the energy bar neared capacity. After inserting one last piece of useless level-eight material, the pattern flashed—the guardian vanished.
"No reaction?" Xiao Xuan remarked when nothing seed to happen post-disappearance. Others frowned, equally puzzled.
Only Ye Zhongming suddenly turned to look behind the group.
The guardian stood there calmly, observing them with composed detachnt.
This startled Cloud Peak thoroughly.
The Bright Star's uniqueness had lulled them into dropping their guard, assuming they were alone on the planet and safe inside this structure.
No sentries had been posted—who knew the guardian would materialize silently at their rear?
Ye Zhongming attempted various thods to command the guardian but received no compliance. Its eyes showed understanding—it simply chose not to obey.
This was unavoidable. After all, it wasn't his battle beast. Its re presence here sufficed.
Though uncooperative, the creature radiated formidable energy—likely no weaker than level eight.
Yangos clamored to spar with it, but Ye Zhongming stopped him. Provoking unknown rules would be unwise.
While uncontrollable, Ye Zhongming received prompts about upgrades. As per the space's rules, this guardian could be upgraded five tis.
Without overthinking, Ye Zhongming chose to upgrade it once.
After surrendering roughly one-third of the guardian's original purchase cost in equivalent items, the wheel space confird the upgrade's success.
Temporarily dubbing this a "Level 1 Guardian
