Chapter 211: In Danger
Seeing the energy he was about to swallow being taken away by the short human in front of him, the angry monk giant zombie’s eyes began to burn with madness. The sound of a human in his mouth became very unclear, almost like a primal roar.
The monk giant zombie, who had already tasted the sweetness of the flesh on one of the White Fox’s hind legs, was unwilling to give up. He aggressively grabbed back towards Zhang Mu with the White Fox’s body.
However, the Blood Lotus devoured the White Fox’s body at a faster rate. With the fusion of the Bottle Gourd, its decomposition ability reached an unprecedented level. Following Zhang Mu’s instructions, the Blood Lotus did not directly extract and devour the beast core.
The Blood Lotus primarily evolves by consuming flesh and blood. Giving it the beast core would be wasteful, as it accumulates energy without degrading abilities. Even the White Fox’s beast core, mixed with life and death attributes, was just a rich source of energy before the Blood Lotus.
For Yuan Rui, who specialized in healing abilities, this was a significant step towards reaching a higher level.
The zombie monk following closely behind the Blood Lotus became enraged upon seeing the White Fox’s body disappear. It increased its speed and caught up with the Blood Lotus, trying to retreat back into Zhang Mu.
In the terrified eyes of Zhang Mu and the others, the monk giant zombie leaped high into the air. The protruding bone spikes on its body trembled sinisterly, evoking a feeling of powerlessness in Zhang Mu.
What kind of monster is this, exactly?
Just as Zhang Mu had the idea, the monk giant zombie grabbed the end of Blood Lotus vine and pulled it forcefully, overpowering even the Blood Lotus and dragging Zhang Mu several body lengths away.
Blood Lotus wouldn’t give up easily. It doesn’t see strength or weakness, only the smell of blood. It doesn’t care if the opponent is strong, as long as it’s a threat without Zhang Mu’s presence. It had faced the powerful Era Merchant in Xi An City and acted the same way.
Blood Lotus released its roots and the thorns from Bottle Gourd, which could extinguish life, aiming to pierce the monk giant zombie’s body.
However, this time, the usually successful Blood Lotus failed.
Its roots couldn’t penetrate the zombie monk’s body as his tough skin seemed to have amplified after a mutation. The energy carried by the thorns had an effect as it started to break down the zombie’s energy upon contact with its skin.
Skin, flesh, all were energy. Even the toughest couldn’t resist when its essence was decomposed.
Zhang Mu noticed that although the extinguishing energy was working, its effect was minimal.
He realized a terrifying fact – the monk giant zombie’s vitality was incredibly strong. Its recovery rate matched the Blood Lotus’s breakdown speed. Due to Blood Lotus being in its first stage, the contact area with the zombie only caused minor injuries.
However, Zhang Mu was in extreme danger. The strong zombie grasped the Blood Lotus, and despite its toughness, the part grabbed by the zombie was torn to shreds.
The torn wound on the Blood Lotus squirmed, its strong vitality recovering. This time, the damage was quite large, with more than ten vines snapped in an instant. Some parts retracted back into Zhang Mu’s body. Luckily, the freshly absorbed white fox blood and flesh came in handy, accelerating the decomposition by the Blood Lotus, supplementing energy to Zhang Mu in the process.
Zhang Mu realized there was no turning the tables now. He became serious and told Obsidian Beetle, “Fly away with them first. The woman at the exit of the illusion array will guide you.”
Obsidian Beetle’s tone turned unpleasant, “You want me to take two people I don’t even know? Zhang Mu, are you out of your mind? Just three humans, I can handle. Let’s go directly.”
At this moment, Zhang Mu confronted the monk giant zombie and roared through his soul connection with Obsidian Beetle, “You still want to take three people away? Believe me, if you try to fly up with them, I’ll knock you down. No one’s holding you back to leave. Don’t waste time. I know the breakthrough point of this illusion array. Now, I’m the only one suitable. I, Zhang Mu, am not that selfless of a person. In a situation of mutual interest, I only think of myself. But are we really going to die together now? There’s no need. Besides, do you really think that brainless one can kill me?”
“Hurry up and leave!”
Seeing that Zhang Mu had already confronted the monk giant zombie without consulting it, Obsidian Beetle picked up Long Er and Long Qi and left without a word. The monk giant zombie now had no interest in them, including Long Er, whom it had been closely watching earlier.
At this moment, all it knew was that its food had been taken by the human in front of it.
The hatred of losing food, especially for this kind of zombie that evolved to seize energy, food was everything to it.
The ribs of the monk giant zombie contracted, and its mouth, built of white bones, opened wide.
Between a flash of lightning and a spark, two figures, one big and one small, collided!
Zhang Mu, this time, it’s dangerous!
