Surviving the Doomsday Apartment—With Infinite Clones!-Chapter 358: Death Upon Leaving the Tree

Holy shit?!
If only he weren't completely immobilized...
Jiang Ye would have cursed out loud!
Mainly because this guy was just too outrageous!
He looked...
completely unafraid of the Dice of Fate!
Could it be...
he had some powerful enough method to be immune to the skeleton effect rolled by the Dice of Fate?!
Damn it, doesn't that mean he's not even afraid of "Erasure"?!
Wait!
Jiang Ye quickly realized—
Not long ago, when using the Black Net to catch the falling Formless Leaf, Jiang Wenxing suddenly chose to withdraw.
Clearly, he was afraid of the Erasure rules within this Formless Domain!
That is to say, those Erasure rules should be capable of killing him!
Then, based on the information Zhou Yuling previously revealed—
The "Erasure" effect caused by items, and the "Erasure" effect caused by players through permissions, are weaker than the "Erasure" effect directly caused by announcement rules.
Therefore, this Jiang Wenxing has the ability to be immune to the Erasure effect of the Dice of Fate.
But he cannot be immune to the Erasure effect in the rules.
So he's not afraid of the dice, but he is afraid of breaking the rules.
However...
Jiang Ye thought of another possibility—
Could this guy be underestimating the power of the special Observer identity?
Perhaps he mistakenly thinks the Erasure effect caused by the Dice of Fate belongs to the item category, when it actually doesn't?
Anyway, this guy is indeed arrogant and confident enough.
Jiang Ye thought to himself...
Should he try using the White Decree to roll a skeleton for this guy?
Or maybe try to see if he can use the decree to make him bleed?
Or, directly use the decree to create an Erasure rule?
Jiang Ye felt in his heart that the "decrees" created by the Observer clone might be on the same level as the "rules" in various announcements?
If he could master the Prophecy ability to perfection.
Then the "decrees" he creates might be directly presented in the form of announcements?
Huh?
Wait!
If he thinks about it this way...
Then the announcement they heard, "The Formless Tree has revived," "The waiting area has become the Formless Domain"...
Could it also be man-made?
If it really is man-made...
Then probably only the Nomadic Merchant could do it, right?
At the very least, Jiang Wenxing, as a Reincarnator, definitely couldn't do it.
As Jiang Ye was pondering this.
Jiang Wenxing, having waited a long time without an answer, didn't give him a second chance to reply.
He directly raised his hand and sent out another Black Net.
In the blink of an eye, he actually captured Zhang Minghan.
As a clone of Jiang Ye, Zhang Minghan was naturally mentally prepared.
But he habitually acted, putting on a very smooth performance of terror and confusion.
However, before he could say anything.
He saw Jiang Wenxing make another grasping motion with five fingers.
The Black Net surrounding the Zhang Minghan clone suddenly contracted.
The Thorns on it seemed like they could tear through Zhang Minghan's flesh at any moment...
Jiang Wenxing was also unceremonious, saying arrogantly: "Don't waste time pretending with me!"
"Whether you're Jiang Ye's clone or not will be clear once you bleed!"
"If you don't want to die, stop slick-talking and spouting nonsense!"
This Jiang Wenxing even knew about Jiang Ye's slick-talking, mouth-king persona...
Since he said so.
The Zhang Minghan clone simply stopped acting.
His expression quickly calmed, and he indeed didn't slick-talk or wisecrack, but got straight to the point: "What do you want to talk about?"
Jiang Wenxing's free left hand made a peace sign: "Two choices—"
"Either let me search your soul, or cooperate with the experiment!"
Jiang Ye didn't answer immediately, cursing inwardly.
He saw Jiang Wenxing immediately adopt a posture as if he was going to search his soul!
So, he didn't dare delay any longer and immediately made a choice: "I choose! Cooperate with the experiment!"
"Hmph." Jiang Wenxing waved his hand and retracted the Black Net.
The Black Net whipped the charred ground fiercely again.
Its Thorns brought up soil.
Jiang Wenxing then molded a Clay Figure and blew on it.
Soon, a new Clay Figure was born.
He bestowed the Phantom Parasite from the Raven Feather onto the Clay Figure.
Immediately, a phantom pattern mark appeared on the Clay Figure's brow.
Then, Jiang Wenxing glanced at Jiang Ye's Zhang Minghan clone and said bluntly: "You can make your move now."
According to the "experiment" procedure...
After Zhang Minghan attacks the Clay Figure, the Clay Figure will use Phantom Parasite on him, copying his identity.
Afterwards, the Clay Figure will possess the Phantom Parasite identity of "Zhang Minghan."
However, the Clay Figure doesn't look like Jiang Ye.
Killing it won't trigger the clone kills clone effect.
Only after it becomes Zhang Minghan's identity can it be considered Jiang Ye's Fake Clone.
However, this kind of Clay Figure Fake Clone... might be different?
Jiang Ye also wanted to do this experiment.
But, just as he was about to act, he suddenly thought:
"According to the rules in the announcement—in the Formless Domain, killers are erased!"
"If I kill the Clay Figure now..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Wenxing shot him a sharp look and said bluntly:
"As long as the Phantom Parasite effect is achieved, it naturally doesn't count as a successful kill!"
"Just like when you were on the arena, the Phantom Parasite effect takes precedence over the duel outcome judgment!"
That's right.
Jiang Ye could accept this explanation.
However, he was surprised—
From Jiang Wenxing's tone...
Did he already notice Jiang Ye when he was using the battle simulator to duel?
Jiang Wenxing's attitude was too decisive and swift.
So, Jiang Ye didn't have much time to think before directly launching a simple attack on the Clay Figure.
After successfully "killing" the Clay Figure, Phantom Parasite indeed took effect.
The Clay Figure was reborn from the shadow of the Zhang Minghan clone.
A moment later, it emerged from the shadow, now possessing Zhang Minghan's appearance.
But its body...
still faintly showed traces of clay.
Jiang Wenxing sent another Thorn whip over.
The Clay Figure bled Black Blood, and the next second, it directly dissipated into black mist!
This state was the same as the previous failed experiment!
That is—the Clay Figure was erased, and did not use blood to nurture a new Formless Leaf!
At that moment, Jiang Wenxing's face clearly became extremely ugly again.
When he looked at Jiang Ye again...
Jiang Ye instantly understood the meaning in his eyes—soul search!
Damn it!
Quick as lightning! Without thinking, Jiang Ye shouted loudly:
"Actually, it doesn't need to be so complicated!"
"Even, there's no need to do any experiments at all!"
"Your demand is simply to make the Formless Tree grow Formless Leaves again..."
"Then it's actually very simple—just let me generate ninety thousand more clones!"
Yes, this was the simplest method!
However, Jiang Ye was truly worried that Jiang Wenxing would reject this method and still forcibly search his soul...
After all, he must also be very curious about where that Formless Leaf and Jiang Ye's numerous clones actually went.
So, honestly, Jiang Ye didn't hold much hope that Jiang Wenxing would agree to his suggestion.
His Observer clone was already prepared to act again!
However, to his surprise...
This Jiang Wenxing, for whatever reason.
His eyes lowered slightly for a moment.
Then when he looked up again, he said bluntly: "Fine. First generate one clone and let me see if it can successfully create a Formless Leaf!"
Jiang Ye hurriedly nodded.
But soon, an awkward, apologetic smile appeared on his face:
"Um, well... generating clones requires survival points, I don't have any survival points left..."
"..."
A trace of speechlessness flashed in Jiang Wenxing's eyes, but he didn't question it.
He directly went and robbed survival jade tokens from other strong players on the scene, throwing them to Jiang Ye.
Thus, after obtaining a windfall, Jiang Ye smoothly generated a new clone.
Since there was no milky-white gas at the moment, the new clone wasn't a light clone.
But an ordinary, C-grade talent one.
This time, the experiment continued—
After the new clone bled, it indeed, like the light clone and Wu Ying clone, seeped blood mist that surged towards the Formless Tree!
Seeing this, Jiang Wenxing narrowed his eyes, his consistently ugly expression finally relaxing at this moment.
He even generously praised: "Not bad."
"Then, continue!"
"..."
Thus, under Jiang Wenxing's supervision, under the gaze of all the strong players...
Jiang Ye, for the first time so blatantly, began his great task of creating clones!
Of course, his clones were created...
The next second, they would be cut by Thorns, still seeping blood...
And roughly when he created the 5th clone.
The light clone that was bled earliest had now completely turned into a Desiccated Corpse.
The next second, the Desiccated Corpse transformed into a Formless Leaf, growing on the Formless Tree!
This scene made Jiang Wenxing look even more satisfied!
The other strong players seeing this also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because this meant...
Their lives were temporarily safe!
And the previously disappeared Formless Leaf finally had a way to be replenished!
Even more...
Just as Jiang Ye went to generate the 7th clone.
Jiang Wenxing said bluntly: "If I'm not mistaken..."
"The way that previous Formless Leaf disappeared..."
"Should be you using clone swapping, swapping its position with the light clone that attacked me at the time."
Sss...
Holy shit! Truly worthy of being a Reincarnator!
In his eyes, Jiang Ye seemed to have no secrets!
Before he could answer.
Jiang Wenxing said bluntly: "Now, use clone swapping to 'pick' that Formless Leaf for me!"
The other strong players hearing this were also pleasantly surprised.
Because this meant...
The previously unsolvable problem of how to pick the Formless Leaves now seemed to have a solution!
Using Jiang Ye's clone swapping, all the Formless Leaves could be picked!
Zhou Yuling's heart was also shaken!
She seemed to understand now where Jiang Ye's Formless Leaf, picked up from the ground, came from...
If this guy already knew how to pick Formless Leaves, why did he play along with her act of luring away strong players to operate the Formless Tree?
If she had known he could pick Formless Leaves like this...
Couldn't they have just found an unnoticed corner, secretly used the misty gas for blood-drip acknowledgment of the Formless Leaf?
Why make it so complicated, even bringing out such a heaven-defying Reincarnator...
Zhou Yuling really couldn't figure out what Jiang Ye was thinking.
Of course, she didn't know—
The Formless Leaf in her hand, the Formless Leaf that was previously on the Formless Tree, and the Formless Leaf generated by his clones, could be said to be three different types of Formless Leaves!
Those Formless Leaves on the tree, and the Formless Leaf in Zhou Yuling's hand at this moment...
Jiang Ye couldn't perform clone swapping on them.
Only the Formless Leaves on the tree that were transformed from his clones could be swapped.
He had a vague idea in his heart.
But seeing Jiang Wenxing's attitude, he didn't say much and obediently followed his instructions, performing a clone swap between the newly generated Formless Leaf on the tree and his newly generated 7th clone.
Thus, in the blink of an eye—
The Formless Leaf on the tree came to the ground.
The clone on the ground fell onto the tree.
Since the clone wasn't growing on the tree, it automatically fell off...
No one present cared about that clone.
Jiang Wenxing's gaze directly locked onto the Formless Leaf on the ground!
Due to fear of the "Erasure" in the announcement, he didn't reach for the Formless Leaf.
Instead, he still planned to find a lab rat...
However, before he could find a lab rat.
Jiang Wenxing's satisfied expression stiffened on his face again.
Because...
He saw...
That Formless Leaf that fell to the ground actually, like the 99,999 Formless Leaves that fell from the tree before...
Turned into charred black earth!
On that patch of charred earth, it looked as if it had vanished into thin air!
Indeed!
This scene matched Jiang Ye's vague speculation!
Formless Leaves that have been on the tree...
Or in other words, Formless Leaves that have "lived"...
Simply cannot leave the Formless Tree anymore!
And the reason that previous Formless Leaf was an exception was perhaps because it fused with the main body!
Zhou Yuling watching this scene was shocked again!
However, before she could think deeply, she was locked by Jiang Wenxing's gaze again.
Jiang Wenxing took a deep breath, trying hard to restrain his terrible mood.
Then, again in a decisive, commanding tone:
"Now, hand over that Formless Leaf in your possession!"
"..."
Sure enough...
The Raven Feather with Phantom Parasite on her couldn't escape Jiang Wenxing's eyes.
That Formless Leaf naturally couldn't be hidden from him either.
Zhou Yuling didn't struggle at all and handed over that Formless Leaf.
At that moment, the strong players present were shocked again!
They never expected...
Zhou Yuling actually already had a Formless Leaf on her!
How... how did she pick it?
Clearly, from what's seen now, if a Formless Leaf leaves the Formless Tree, it's destined to disappear!
The gazes of these strong players shifted between Zhou Yuling and Jiang Wenxing.
However, these two people's gazes turned toward Jiang Ye in perfect synchronization.
To be precise, Jiang Ye's Zhang Minghan clone.
Jiang Wenxing very cautiously held that Formless Leaf and said bluntly to Jiang Ye:
"Very good."
"Now, stop this useless 'leaf-making' operation."
"Tell me—where did this Formless Leaf come from?"
