Chapter 214: The Tables Turn (Part 1)
Unable to use his full strength while lying on his side, Zhang Mu once again relied on the power of the Blood Lotus. He wrapped it around a nearby long bamboo root, pulled with all his might, and started sliding on the ground.
Enduring the pain of the rough ground rubbing against his skin, Zhang Mu managed to move away from the monk giant zombie’s stomping foot just in time.
The Blood Lotus shrunk faster than the monk giant zombie could move. Once they were at a safe distance, Zhang Mu slammed the ground, quickly got up, tucked away the Blood Lotus into his left arm, and prepared to run.
Looking back at the monk giant zombie close by, Zhang Mu smirked and said, “Sorry, not playing with you this time. And as for food, you won’t be getting any from me. Don’t even think about it.”
Unable to defeat the monk giant zombie, Zhang Mu let out a few taunts but then prepared to run, knowing the correct direction to break through the illusion using his mental strength.
But when Zhang Mu was about to take one last look at the zombie monk, he suddenly noticed something strange. The giant zombie monk was not chasing after him anymore and had stopped in its tracks.
Without the giant zombie monk following him, Zhang Mu didn’t leave immediately. He became curious about what this big silly creature was up to.
Zhang Mu was acting reckless. While others would have happily run away in this situation, he felt uneasy when he saw that the monk giant zombie wasn’t chasing him anymore.
Is it trying to trick me?
This thought crossed Zhang Mu’s mind for a moment, but he quickly dismissed it. The monk giant zombie didn’t seem to be very clever or deceitful, so it was unlikely to be trying to deceive him.
Zhang Mu, with his arm still sore from scraping against the ground, cautiously approached the motionless monk giant zombie. He kept his legs tense, ready to leave at a moment’s notice if anything unexpected happened.
The monk giant zombie’s arms were hanging by its sides, and its eyes were slowly closing.
As Zhang Mu cautiously moved closer to within two meters, the monk giant zombie remained motionless.
It was as if the monk giant zombie, unaware of Zhang Mu’s attempt to steal from it earlier, had fallen completely silent.
The sound of bamboo leaves rubbing against each other suddenly caught Zhang Mu’s attention.
He realized that the bamboo forest ahead had stopped moving, remaining still in its original place, no longer intertwining and changing as before.
The illusion formation, is it not working?
Suddenly, Zhang Mu wondered whether the reason the monk giant zombie had now stopped moving was because of this. It was fine just now, so why did it suddenly change like this?
As Zhang Mu pondered, he suddenly noticed with horror that the monk giant zombie was undergoing visible changes.
The bone spikes on its chest and back were slowly shrinking, and its body was returning to its original form.
Boom!
Like losing its strength, the zombie monk directly dropped to its knees heavily on the ground, keeping its upper body straight, which startled Zhang Mu, who thought the zombie monk was going to attack. He quickly stepped back.
After a few seconds, he realized there was no movement at all. Slowly, he approached and saw that the zombie monk had completely returned to the appearance Zhang Mu first saw, resembling a thin monk corpse.
But where the bone spur grew just now, even though it has shrunk back, the healing is very slow, with just a tiny bit of new flesh growing. The recovery speed is even slower than that of a human like Zhang Mu.
Suddenly, Zhang Mu had a scary idea in his mind that startled himself.
This monk giant zombie, could it be dead?
