Understanding the meaning conveyed by Chu Che, Chen Ye quickly changed his tactics.

Amidst the churning smoke, the previously seemingly unsolvable smoke shell underwent a transformation.

A small door formed from smoke appeared directly ahead.

Actually, this door wasn't that small either.

It was about 1.8 meters in height and 80 centimeters in width.

It was perfectly capable of accommodating a single person passing through.

With Chu Che's warning and the previous lesson learned, Chen Ye had no intention of trying to be clever with any little tricks again.

Moreover, he made corresponding adjustments internally.

What Chen Ye wanted wasn't to completely block these Door-Opening Anomalies.

It was to buy time.

To buy enough time.

Just twelve minutes.

Everything would have hope.

Originally, the interior was also entirely formed by the fake solid shell created by the Smoke Breath Mist.

But now, these fake solids instantly transformed into smoke mist.

Furthermore, the smoke mist formed numerous partition walls inside.

Chen Ye planned to turn the smoke mist into a maze.

To make these Door-Opening Anomalies waste time within the labyrinth.

Moreover, the poison within the smoke mist was also effective against the Door-Opening Anomalies.

As long as he could delay long enough.

Perhaps these guys wouldn't even make it to him before they couldn't hold on any longer.

When the door appeared, all the Door-Opening Anomalies froze in unison.

Those Door-Opening Anomalies that had originally intended to break the smoke shell all crawled toward the door Chen Ye had left open.

As if something there was tempting them.

This small door simulated by smoke was only about the size of a dog door.

Yet it still attracted the attention of countless Door-Opening Anomalies.

In Chen Ye's view, that tiny dog door was crowded with humanoid figures of varying heights.

The figures squeezed at the very front frantically attacked the door.

The black energy on their bodies also grew increasingly dense.

Just then, Chen Ye saw a humanoid figure covered in festering sores appear at the outermost edge of the crowd.

When this figure appeared.

All the nearby Door-Opening Anomalies, as if seeing a monarch, cleared a path for it one after another.

Chen Ye's attention instantly focused on this festering figure.

The festering figure hung its head low, its features unclear, its steps slow but unwavering.

With just a simple step forward, even those Door-Opening Anomalies with their backs turned to it cleared the way at that moment.

Its appearance was like a firefly in the dark night.

A bad premonition rose in Chen Ye's heart.

The festering figure slowly walked to the position of the small door Chen Ye had opened, letting out two "heh heh" cold laughs from its mouth.

As if mocking Chen Ye's little scheme.

Chen Ye's expression turned grave.

Chen Ye knew very well that this small door actually couldn't hold for long.

The black energy on those Door-Opening Anomalies had a certain corrosive effect on the shell simulated by smoke.

With so many Door-Opening Anomalies attacking that small door, it only accelerated the destruction speed of the door.

But this disgusting creature covered in festering sores before his eyes still brought Chen Ye immense psychological pressure.

Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Ye was unwilling to take action against these Door-Opening Anomalies.

Even if he had to act, it wouldn't be now.

At least not until the tide time was almost over today.

The festering figure reached out and touched the small door Chen Ye had created.

That arm was also covered in festering sores, with disgusting yellow-green pus oozing from those sores.

But this pus didn't drip down the arm onto the ground. Instead, as if possessing life, it slowly began to corrode the small door of the smoke-simulated shell.

When this pus made contact with the smoke shell.

Wisp after wisp of yellow thick smoke appeared in the air, accompanied by some "hiss hiss" sounds.

Like a hot knife encountering butter.

In just a few seconds, the small door, which was already struggling to hold, was instantly corroded into a large hole.

The pus figure let out two more "heh heh" laughs from its mouth that seemed to be mocking.

Then it was the first to step into the Smoke Breath Mist.

Just as this pus figure crossed through that door.

Chen Ye clearly saw some changes occur on this pus figure's body.

The most obvious change was that the festering sores on the pus figure's body increased, and its form became even more emaciated.

On the wound of each sore, something seemed to be wriggling...

Chen Ye looked at the back of his own hand.

Good grief, the hair on the back of his hand was even more exaggerated than before.

The spiritual perception of a Superhuman. Sensing that something seemed to have changed when this Door-Opening Anomaly stepped through that door.

That door seemed to be a door of evolution.

As long as it crossed through that door, its life level would rise a notch.

This...

It seemed there were strange rules here.

At the same time, after the festering anomaly crossed through that door.

Two more Door-Opening Anomalies behind it surged toward the door that had been corroded.

Just then, a short Door-Opening Anomaly rushed ahead of all the other anomalies and charged through that door.

Similarly...

In just an instant, that short humanoid figure rapidly expanded, directly growing to adult size.

Chen Ye instantly became certain.

He understood why these Door-Opening Anomalies were so obsessed with "door" structures. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

For them, "doors" were evolutionary steps.

As long as they passed through a door, their life level would rapidly grow.

The unease in Chen Ye's heart climbed rapidly.

If he let all the Door-Opening Anomalies pass through the door he designed, wouldn't that mean all the Door-Opening Anomalies would level up?

How the hell could he fight that?

As his thoughts moved...

The Smoke Breath Mist instantly collapsed, the previously formed hard shell instantly dissipating into mist.

Now, there were no doors at all.

In the original spot, there was only a thick, intense mist.

This mist covered an area of about one kilometer around.

Without a door, the Door-Opening Anomalies instantly became confused.

They looked at the intense mist before them, momentarily unsure what to do.

The pus figure that had entered the mist earliest also stood there foolishly.

Like a robot that had lost its control system.

A remote-control car without its remote.

The Smoke Breath Mist had the absolute ability to block perception.

For humans, once entering this range, taste, smell, vision, hearing, etc., would all be blocked.

Currently, there was no solution.

Perhaps Chen Ye hadn't used this ability against high-sequence powerhouses before.

He previously had a chance to fight Ding Shen, but it never came to pass.

For Anomalies, it could block living human aura.

So far, he hadn't encountered any Anomaly that could ignore the blocking effect of the Smoke Breath Mist.

Perhaps this ability was ineffective against powerful Anomalies.

But due to Chen Ye's good principle of avoiding fights, he usually just fled when encountering powerful Anomalies.

At this moment, the festering anomaly swayed its lowered head left and right, as if puzzled, wondering why it couldn't sense anything.

It took two steps to the left, then stopped, took two steps to the right, and returned to the original spot.

But Chen Ye knew that this smoke mist couldn't completely guarantee his safety.

With so many Door-Opening Anomalies, as long as they kept entering the smoke mist.

They would eventually fill this smoke mist.

That would be the time for him to confront them head-on.

Sure enough, one Door-Opening Anomaly began to walk into the mist.

After this Door-Opening Anomaly entered the mist, it also scurried around like a headless fly.

But soon, ten more Door-Opening Anomalies entered the Smoke Breath Mist.

Pushing the previous Anomalies further inside.

Only that pus figure remained standing there confused, no other Door-Opening Anomalies dared to approach it.

The next second, over a hundred Door-Opening Anomalies entered the Smoke Breath Mist.

Pushing the previous Anomalies even further inside, getting closer to the shelter Chen Ye had built.

And just at this moment.

Not far away, the Glowing Characters had an extra line added at some point.

It was unclear whether Chu Che wrote it before the second wave of the Anomaly Tide, or after the tide had begun.

But it had this sentence on it.

"Persevere! If you persevere, there will be unexpected rewards!"

"After surviving this round, a miracle will happen!"

Of course, Chen Ye couldn't see this sentence right now.
