Chapter 354: Chapter 169: Level 3 Lord_1

“`

Night.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue once again arrived at the county.

Upon seeing the situation inside the county, Wang Tao’s eyes widened.

“Hiss… so many!”

He thought there were only three Level 3 Blood-red Zombies in the county, and he had killed one, so there should be two left… But now he had just entered the county and already saw three Blood-red Zombies!

“Let’s take a detour.”

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue stealthily went around.

Although he now knew the zombies’ fatal weaknesses, seeing three of them as soon as he arrived gave Wang Tao a bad feeling—if there were this many elsewhere, it might not be wise to provoke them…

After bypassing these three zombies, Wang Tao saw another isolated Blood-red Zombie.

“Should we make a move?”

Jiang Shixue seemed eager to try; she did not know the meaning of fear.

Wang Tao was somewhat tempted, but after thinking it over, he refrained.

“Let’s check for other zombies in the vicinity first…”

If it was just this one, Wang Tao felt confident he could handle it with an Ultraviolet flashlight and Ultraviolet illumination flares, even though it was night.

But if there were other Blood-red Zombies nearby, that was a different story.

“Hmm.”

The two of them searched around the lone Blood-red Zombie and Wang Tao felt a tingling on his scalp.

“One, two, three… eight! Damn, good thing we didn’t act rashly!”

Wang Tao hadn’t expected there to be so many Blood-red Zombies nearby.

Could it be… there was a lair of Blood-red Zombies in the county, and it was close by?

However, if there really was a large lair, then if they could blow it up like they had the grain storage, the spoils would be tremendous!

“Let’s find a place to rest first and then see if there’s a chance to follow them…”

“Alright~”

Taking them on now was out of the question; after all, with so many Level 3 zombies, Wang Tao certainly couldn’t beat them. He had the Ultraviolet Light and flares, but their range was limited, unlike the sun which left zombies with no place to hide. These zombies could flee. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

The two found a six-story residential building with no other tall buildings around, which was perfect for observation.

Every so often, they could see Level 3 Blood-red Zombies appearing, and they appeared most frequently near the grain storage.

Wang Tao guessed that perhaps because of the commotion during the day, these zombies hadn’t dared to show up, but they still wanted to check it out at night… This also indirectly proved that these zombies indeed possessed some intelligence!

Until the sky began to lighten, Wang Tao found no opportunity to attack.

“They’re running away!”

Jiang Shixue alerted Wang Tao.

“Let’s go, follow them!”

The sky in the distance was beginning to show the first light of dawn, and the fierce Blood-red Zombies immediately ran towards the darkness.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue suddenly appeared near the Blood-red Zombies, but the zombies seemed not to see them or, as if eager to get back home, ran towards the darkness without care.

The zombies were fast, and in the blink of an eye, most of them were out of sight.

Wang Tao targeted a zombie and closely followed behind it.

But perhaps feeling the threat of the sun’s emergence, these zombies were running wickedly fast, even faster than when they had chased Wang Tao before!

Even with his speed greatly increased, Wang Tao still couldn’t catch up.

So, without a second thought, he took out his Ultraviolet flashlight.

Whoosh!

A beam of purple light struck the Blood-red Zombie.

“Roar—”

The zombie immediately let out an angry roar and ran even faster!

Its skin sizzled as if it were being burned.

However, compared to the sun, the damage from the Ultraviolet flashlight was insignificant—in the sunlight, they would turn to ash in seconds, but Wang Tao’s Ultraviolet flashlight only made it drop a few hundred HP.

Watching the Blood-red Zombie disappear from his sight, Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.

“It seems that the main use of this Ultraviolet flashlight is for defense; it’s impossible to use it as a weapon. They can completely dodge it, and the damage isn’t high…”

Still, Wang Tao was content; having some form of defense was better than none.

As day fully broke, the bustling Jinbi County began to settle down, and Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue searched again but still couldn’t find the lair of the Blood-red Zombies. However, they did find several Level 1 Elite Zombies.

Wang Tao didn’t hold back and easily took down these few zombies, so leaving empty-handed was avoided.

Back at Fish Bay Camp, Xu Xiaojun was busy cooking fish.

Seeing Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue return, Xu Xiaojun felt somewhat ashamed.

He felt like he was of no help at all, a big guy only capable of small tasks…

Xu Xiaojun wasn’t one to hide his feelings, and seeing the shame and dejection on his face, Wang Tao immediately said with a smile:

“Little Jun, do you have any Abilities you like?”

“Ah? I don’t know much about Abilities…”

Xu Xiaojun scratched his head.

“I see. Then listen to me.”

“Okay…”

Xu Xiaojun didn’t understand the meaning behind Wang Tao’s words but still nodded immediately.

Xu Xiaojun was too weak, not even at 2000 HP. With that level of strength, staying with Wang Tao indeed dragged the latter down.

So Wang Tao decided to enhance Xu Xiaojun’s strength.

Xu Xiaojun had only merged with a Crystal Core, the Power Crystal Core.

This Crystal Core suited him well, because its side effect was related to body size, with smaller physiques experiencing negative growth. But Xu Xiaojun had a robust build, so the side effect was basically null for him.
