Zhao Qingxuan’s eyes were deeper than the darkest night as she gazed beyond the city walls, her expression serene.
This was her newly comprehended esoteric art, S-class "Night Eyes," which made the darkest night as bright as day to her.
She saw the countless zombies hidden at the edge of the forest outside the base, concealed by the darkness. If they were to rashly go to their aid now, she was sure the zombies would immediately launch a surprise attack, potentially leading to the base's fall.
Furthermore, she also spotted the epic-class zombie standing by the volcano, gazing at the base.
It watched with hungry eyes, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.
However, Zhao Qingxuan wasn't overly worried.
Over the past few days, the awakened had seen the emergence of many Starfall-class powerhouses. Among the zombies, the number of Starfall-class entities was ultimately not that great.
"Order everyone to unleash their full might. Tonight, while holding back the zombies, we must also kill more. We still need more high-level energy crystal cores!"
"Yes!"
The communicator immediately relayed her orders.
Yang Chufeng and the others, upon receiving the message, were already rubbing their hands together, fully prepared for battle!
On Zhou Yiming's defensive front,
Zombies surged forward like a tide, and a torrent of energy in the form of flames, poisonous mist, and water columns rained down upon them.
"Hahaha, a bunch of zombie brutes, you think you can break through our base? Not a chance! Gulp down your energy crystal cores obediently and become the energy for our growth!"
Zhou Yiming roared excitedly.
Having reached the Starfall-class,
He could now easily slay those Starfall-class boss zombies without even unleashing the power of his extraordinary weapon.
"Damn it, when will I be able to comprehend an SSS-class esoteric art like the big shots!"
Zhou Yiming envied Wang Luo's Great Buddha.
With an SSS-class esoteric art at his disposal, he wouldn't even have to worry about that epic-class boss.
Unfortunately, he had only comprehended one S-class esoteric art so far, and he hadn't even glimpsed the threshold of an SS-class, let alone an SSS-class!
With a swing of his pig-slaughtering saber,
A Starfall-class Tracker was cleaved in two by him, its green zombie blood conspicuously visible under the firelight.
Beside each captain stood several SS-class and S-class awakened individuals.
They too had comprehended S-class esoteric arts, possessed formidable strength, and could handle some boss zombies.
As powerful attacks rained down,
Large numbers of zombies fell.
At the distant volcano,
The Epic Devourer’s expression grew increasingly grim as it watched its zombie horde fall.
These humans could use their energy crystal cores to continuously level up, while they themselves could only evolve by relying on the mystical energy emanating from the volcano.
However, this energy erupted only periodically, which meant they could only evolve from time to time, unlike humans who could improve as long as they had energy crystal cores.
Roar!
A low growl emanated from its maw.
If humans advanced so quickly, how could they ever exterminate humanity?
How could they create a perfect kingdom to welcome their gods?
The next moment, it fixed its gaze on Zhou Yiming, or rather, the pig-slaughtering saber in his hand. This was an SSS-class extraordinary material, quite rare even in the depths of the earth.
That was originally meant for them, but how could it have been snatched away by humans?
No,
This item was equivalent to a double SSS-class entity, it had to be taken back.
The next instant,
Its body leaped thousands of meters from its spot, hurtling towards Zhou Yiming. It was epic-class, so dealing with a Starfall-class should be easy, right?
But inexplicably, it thought of that Azure Dragon, and its expression immediately soured.
That human seemed to be only Diamond-class!
It felt somewhat humiliated.
On the city wall,
A figure instantly appeared beside Wang Luo, respectfully reporting, "Reporting to Supreme Elder Wang, Chief Zhao has sent a message saying that the epic-class boss has gone to Captain Zhou's location!"
"Gone to the Butcher's side?"
Wang Luo, seated on a chair, nodded, "Understood!"
The next moment,
His figure vanished with a "whoosh."
Zhou Yiming was in the thick of battle when a sudden sense of danger washed over him.
He turned his head to see a zombie descending from the sky, crashing down towards his position.
"Slash!"
Without a word, Zhou Yiming
decisively unleashed the power of his extraordinary weapon, sending a massive golden slash towards the zombie.
*Puff!*
The Devourer's eyes sharpened. It sensed a terrifying attack that could threaten its life and immediately spat out a torrent of flames.
The skies filled with flames and the sky-rending slash collided, exploding in the air.
"Holy crap, what the hell, is that the epic-class zombie?"
Zhou Yiming instantly understood.
Who else could unleash such terrifying power besides that epic-class zombie?
"Why is it targeting me?"
"Perhaps it just likes your type!"
Wang Luo said, suddenly appearing.
Upon seeing Wang Luo, the Devourer’s figure abruptly descended, letting out a roar of unwillingness.
It had appeared so stealthily, yet it was discovered by this human??
"What? Has your tongue grown back?"
Wang Luo sneered.
Roar!
The Devourer roared in anger. This human was utterly ruthless, so brazenly exposing its scar.
However, it still provocatively extended its slime-covered tongue towards Wang Luo.
"Dare to show your tongue in front of me again, and believe it or not, I'll rip it out one more time!"
As Wang Luo spoke, he pondered whether he should eliminate it.
With his current strength, he could do it. However, he worried that killing an epic-class zombie might attract a legendary-class zombie, which he did not wish to encounter.
Although, in his Azure Dragon form, he could contend with a legendary-class entity,
What if it attracted other unpredictable variables that he wouldn't want?
Thus far,
The emergence of an epic-class zombie in Anluo City already represented a significant deviation from his previous life. Wang Luo did not want to invite further trouble.
It was better to proceed cautiously and deal with it after his strength reached King-class.
The Devourer eyed Wang Luo.
Finally, it could only retreat in frustration. It clearly understood that outside the volcano, it was no match for this human.
However,
After retreating a few steps, it noticed that Wang Luo did not pursue it?
Why was that?
Did the other party have some hidden ailment?
Or was it merely a paper tiger?
Could it be a lingering effect from its previous transformation into a dragon?
So its current appearance was merely to intimidate it, and it didn't dare to actually fight?
The Devourer's grayish-white eyes darted back and forth. The more it thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Then, it opened its maw and spat a stream of flames towards Wang Luo.
"Go to hell! I don't attack you, and you don't thank me, but you dare to attack me? Do you think I can't handle a fight?"
Wang Luo grunted,
A tornado appeared in his hand, and he forcefully swung it at the Devourer.
Instantly,
A tornado, connecting the heavens and the earth in the darkness of night, swept up the Devourer and many zombies around it into the sky...
