Chapter 498: Chapter 217: Hundred-armed Zombie (Last Day of Double Monthly Tickets)_1
This was a zombie that looked like a hedgehog, but instead of quills, it had decaying, menacing arms! There were at least a hundred of these arms, flailing and writhing, making one’s scalp tingle.
Wang Tao couldn’t see its eyes, but when he looked at it, it seemed to sense something. The arms began to move rapidly like centipede legs and charged towards him!
“It’s coming! It has an Ability that lets it shoot those arms out; anyone hit by the arms will most likely die!”
Lan Yulian explained anxiously.
This zombie had killed many of her people yesterday, and she still had a psychological shadow from it.
“Shooting out arms? That’s something… And its Perception seems really strong; it noticed me from so far away…”
Wang Tao looked at the zombie’s Attributes.
[HP: 40000/40000]
[Mana: 20000/20000]
[Grade: Level 3 – Lord]
A Level 3, Lord with forty thousand HP!
Looking at this Attribute alone, Wang Tao thought Lan Yulian and her team were lucky yesterday.
If their luck had been any worse, it wouldn’t have been just heavy casualties; they could have been completely wiped out!
“It’s a Level 3, Lord Zombie. It’s normal for you not to have been able to beat it,”
Wang Tao said softly.
The Level 3 Zombies Lan Yulian and her team had managed to kill yesterday were either Level 3 Ordinary Zombies, Level 3 Mad Demon Zombies, or weakened Level 3 Elite Zombies… In any case, they hadn’t really encountered any proper Level 3 Elite Zombies, let alone a Level 3, Lord Zombie.
“A Level 3 Lord! No wonder…”
The two women suddenly realized.
A Zombie Lord was much stronger than Elite Zombies!
If they had known it was a Zombie Lord, they would have run away early and wouldn’t have tangled with it.
But it wasn’t easy to determine whether it was a Lord or not.
Lords had territories. If there was only one zombie in an area, or if there was one very powerful zombie, or if it commanded other zombies — then it was definitely a Lord Zombie.
But at the time, zombies were all over the place, and everything was in chaos. Seeing zombies approach, Lan Yulian and her team’s first reaction was to attack. They could only vaguely sense it was a Level 3 Zombie but couldn’t discern whether it was an Elite or a Lord. Not to mention, having killed many Level 3 Ordinary Zombies and weakened Elite Zombies, they were growing confident, which made accurate judgment no less difficult.
“Wang Tao, what do we need to do?”
Lan Yulian looked towards Wang Tao. She didn’t ask if Wang Tao could win but instead directly asked what they should do.
Since Wang Tao knew it was a Lord Zombie but didn’t run, that meant he was confident, and all they needed to do was support him.
“You two hide first, I’ll take the main attack, and Lu Yingfeng look for opportunities to assist. As for you, protect yourself and keep an eye on Lu Yingfeng, and don’t attract its attention at all costs,”
Wang Tao instructed.
“Okay!”
Both women responded and then hid themselves.
Wang Tao walked out boldly, facing the Hundred-armed Zombie head-on.
The two women were very anxious, with Lan Yulian ready to heal and restore HP to Wang Tao at any moment.
Then, they were stunned.
They saw black roots resembling those of a tree suddenly appear on Wang Tao as he approached the zombie. In the blink of an eye, these roots wrapped around him and formed a massive set of armor. Wang Tao transformed into a two-and-a-half-meter-tall “monster”! And in his hands, a giant White Bone Knife had appeared from nowhere!
“What is this!”
It was the first time the two women had seen Wang Tao like this and couldn’t quite believe it.
“Could it be a transformation Ability? And where did that Bone Knife come from?”
Before they could ponder further, Wang Tao was already in contact with the Hundred-armed Zombie.
Thump!
Wang Tao couldn’t find the zombie’s head, so he could only attack the decaying arms.
With one slice, several arms were cut off by Wang Tao.
The Hundred-armed Zombie didn’t seem to lose much HP, but it became enraged, suddenly leaping high into the air, then bouncing towards Wang Tao like a ball.
“It can jump that high?”
Wang Tao hadn’t expected the zombie to be so agile.
However, with his Iron Wall Ability already activated and the speed boost, he easily dodged the Hundred-armed Zombie’s attack.
Boom—
The stone pavement was smashed into a spider-web of cracks.
And just like a ball, the Hundred-armed Zombie hit the ground and used its arms to bounce back up, lunging at Wang Tao again.
This time, Wang Tao didn’t dodge but instead timed his move carefully, powering up for a decisive strike.
He used high-frequency vibration for this slash.
Bang!
The Hundred-armed Zombie was sent flying, and Wang Tao felt his knife had cut deep. Above the zombie’s head, a damage number of [-3645] popped up.
“Its Defense isn’t that high after all!”
Seeing this number, Wang Tao grinned. As long as it wasn’t a monster with high Defense like the Big Tree Monster, he wouldn’t waste too much time.
When the Hundred-armed Zombie got knocked back, Lu Yingfeng, who had been ready to strike, appeared suddenly. Clad in armor, she tightly gripped her Tang Dao and stabbed at the Hundred-armed Zombie as it was about to land near her.
Thrust!
[-1894]
After the stab, Lu Yingfeng didn’t linger for combat but quickly retreated.
Wang Tao glanced at her in surprise; the damage from that strike was quite high. After all, Lu Yingfeng hadn’t reached Level 3 yet, while Wang Tao was genuinely at Level 3 Combat Power. For her to inflict almost two thousand damage with a single strike was impressive indeed.
