Chapter 1087: Chapter 437: Dark Fog Zombie Chapter 1087: Chapter 437: Dark Fog Zombie “Level 5 Zombie Lord!”

Upon hearing Han Rui’s words, everyone’s expression instantly turned serious.

The strength of a Level 5 zombie would definitely crush that of Level 4 zombies. However, they had previously killed many Fifth-Order Night Fiends with Wang Tao, so they were not afraid.

Wang Tao’s focus was not on whether it was a Level 5 Lord, but on the fact that Han Rui said this Level 5 Lord Zombie was different from the previous Frozen Zombies…

“Let’s go check it out first; if we can fight it, we will, if not, we’ll retreat. Besides, we have cleared all the zombies behind us, so retreating will be easy,”
Wang Tao said to everyone.

They should have no problem hunting a Level 5 Lord Zombie, given they had previously killed many Fifth-Order Night Fiends. Their strength had improved significantly, especially Wang Tao who had awakened twice already…

But there were exceptionally strong zombies, like those who had awakened the “Giant” ability. Whether they could win in such a case, Wang Tao was unsure.

So Wang Tao didn’t make any definitive statements, especially since they had already cleared all the zombies they had encountered along the way, making retreat easy even if they couldn’t win.

Everyone naturally had no issue with this, their strength had all improved to various extents, and they were eager to try battling a Level 5 Zombie Lord.

The team member Qu Shilin was shocked. She didn’t expect that Wang Tao and the others, upon hearing about a Level 5 Zombie Lord, their first reaction was to fight!

“No, aren’t you going to think it over? After all, it’s a Level 5 Lord Zombie…”

Qu Shilin spoke timidly.

“Don’t worry, we’ll protect you,”
Lan Yulian thought she was scared and thus tried to comfort her.

“I’m not scared–well, maybe a little, but this is a Level 5 Lord Zombie! Are you really just going to go over there? Without making any preparations?”

Qu Shilin quickly explained.

Hearing this, Wang Tao and his team all laughed.

“It’s not that we don’t make preparations; we just really don’t have any. If we can win, we will fight; if we can’t, we’ll retreat. It’s that simple,”
Wang Tao said smilingly.

“…”

Qu Shilin had always been with a Legion, and the Legion would make sufficient preparations before every major battle to ensure nothing went wrong. But Wang Tao’s situation was different from the Legion’s; he didn’t have heavy artillery or bombs, their personal ability was the strongest asset, and if they were in good shape, then they were indeed ready.

And their strength was indeed formidable, even if it was challenging a Level 5 Zombie Lord, it was not impossible.

Thus, Qu Shilin softly said:
“Alright! Then you–all of us, that is–let’s do it! Although, I might not be much help…”

“Go for it!”

Wang Tao and his crew continued forward, and after walking a few steps, they encountered a dark, icy cave.

“That Lord Zombie is inside there! But… I’ve noticed more than one Level 5 Lord inside! There are also many Level 4, 5 Elite, and Ordinary Zombies!”

Han Rui spoke softly.

“No worries, Jiang Shixue and I will head in first to check out, just follow closely behind me,”
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue walked in the forefront; the cave sloped downwards, and it was very dark inside. Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue, having night vision, led the way to avoid being ambushed.

As soon as they entered the cave, everyone instinctively shivered,
Not only because the temperature inside was even lower than outside, but also because their vision suddenly turned black! It was as though it had switched from day to night in an instant!

The group instinctively turned around to find that the entrance behind them had become somewhat blurry and unclear!

“What’s going on?”

“It’s so dark… so cold!”

Having never encountered such a situation before, they were all a bit panicked.

“Don’t worry, there is no immediate danger, you all can still see me, right? Just follow me,”
Wang Tao’s voice slowly calmed everyone down,
“We can still see…”

They could indeed see Wang Tao’s silhouette, although it was also a bit blurry, as if a veil was between them.

Wang Tao looked back to check his and everyone else’s HP; there were no abnormal statuses.

Then he looked at Jiang Shixue, whose eyes were glowing red, particularly spirited. This strange darkness didn’t seem to affect Jiang Shixue either.

As for Lightning and the two ferrets, they were even less concerned, being nocturnal creatures, and naturally had no problem here.

Thus, Wang Tao continued to lead the way,
The road inside this icy cave was not straight but twisted downwards; after turning a bend, the group felt it was even darker, almost losing sight of Wang Tao’s silhouette. Fortunately, Wang Tao stopped walking and didn’t proceed further,
“I see the Zombie Lord…”

In the depths of the cave, a large group of zombies was present; some stood dazed while others lay on the ground, among them was a large, obese zombie leisurely swaying around.

[HP: 300000/300000]
[Mana: 300000/300000]
[Grade: Level 5 – Lord]
[Awakening: Dark Mist]
[Dark Mist: Emanates a thick black mist that can obscure the light around the bearer]
Wang Tao had guessed earlier that the extreme darkness inside the cave was likely related to the Zombie Lord, and now his assumption had been confirmed.

However, upon seeing this awakening, Wang Tao thought it seemed somewhat trivial,
While it indeed obscured the visibility, causing many to struggle to see, not to mention that both he and Jiang Shixue could see; everyone else also had their own sources of light.

If it had been a “Giant” or a similar awakening of a formidable zombie, Wang Tao might have considered retreating, but this Dark Mist obviously could not stop Wang Tao’s progress.
