Chapter 1437: Chapter 597 Lightning Ascension to Level 6_2

While Wang Tao was pondering, a Giant Zombie crawled out of the deep pit and appeared before Wang Tao.

“Take it down!”

At his command, the Golden Eagle swiftly flew over with Wang Tao.

The Giant Zombie at the forefront didn’t use the Freezing Aura, so Wang Tao had no reservations in combat, and before the second Giant Zombie could appear, the first one was already taken out by Wang Tao.

“Next one–no, the next two! Lightning, you, Little Bing, and Little Huo, go lure one!”

“Woof~”

With the lure of Lightning and the others, these Giant Zombies were taken down by Wang Tao one by one.

After confirming there were no more Giant Zombies coming up for the moment, Wang Tao had Lightning quickly consume the corpses, and he also took out a large quantity of Nutrient Solution for himself and all the pets to consume.

By the time Lightning finished swallowing all the corpses, and Wang Tao was satiated, it was already past midnight. But Wang Tao didn’t feel sleepy in the slightest.

“Continue!”

He wondered how many Giant Zombies were actually inside this deep pit, and whether there were enough for him to kill!

Once again entering the pit, this time they descended riding on the Golden Eagle.

The space below was vast, which didn’t restrict the Golden Eagle’s movements. Even though the abundance of Dark Elements obscured visibility, once Wang Tao removed these Dark Elements, the Golden Eagle could instantly see its surroundings clearly.

Chirp–

The Golden Eagle indicated it was mostly fine. Though not as sharp-eyed as outside, it was more than enough.

“Good, fly deeper in.”

Before long, Wang Tao discovered more sleeping Giant Zombies, not just one this time, but more than twenty!

“So many Giant Zombies sleeping together? Even if tempted out, they would be too much to handle–no, wait, many of them inside are Level 4 and Level 5 Giant Zombies!”

If he had to face more than twenty Sixth-Rank Giant Zombies at the same time, Wang Tao wouldn’t even think about it; he would have retreated immediately.

But when he was about to leave, he realized not all these Giant Zombies were Sixth Rank! The three Giant Zombies sitting on the outermost part were Sixth Rank, and the majority inside were Level 4 and Level 5.

Since there were so many Fourth and Fifth Rank zombies, it was simple–just go for it!

“Attack!”

Whoosh–

With the Golden Eagle’s help, Wang Tao instantly carried out a sneak attack on a Sixth-Rank Giant Zombie, inflicting considerable damage.

The fight had begun, but since there were many Fourth and Fifth Rank Giant Zombies this time, Wang Tao also let Lightning and the two ferrets join the battle. They might be helpless against Sixth-Rank Giant Zombies, but they could still fight against the Fourth and Fifth Rank ones.

Lightning, having devoured many zombies, saw its HP surge. The two ferrets’ Awakening allowed them to combine, greatly increasing their power. So with one attacking and the other defending, they cooperated perfectly well. Even zombies of the same rank couldn’t trouble them.

Especially since Lightning could carry the two ferrets like climbing a tree, running up to the shoulders of the Giant Zombies and unleashing fire and ice attacks on their heads. The Level 5 Giant Zombies couldn’t withstand it and were quickly slain through their joint effort.

On the other side, Wang Tao was also doing very well.

Although facing three Sixth-Rank Giant Zombies put quite some pressure on Wang Tao, none of these zombies had a Freezing Aura. As long as they didn’t restrict Wang Tao’s movements with a Freezing Aura, causing continuous HP loss, Wang Tao, with the Golden Eagle’s help, could kite them freely. Because Ordinary Giant Zombies didn’t have such twisted Blood Regeneration abilities, the HP they regained wasn’t higher than the damage caused by Wang Tao.

However, since they were Giant Zombies after all, Wang Tao didn’t dare to be careless; if he were caught by a slap, his Omnipotent Shield probably wouldn’t withstand a third blow.

After spending some time, Wang Tao dealt with the two Ordinary Sixth-Rank Giant Zombies, which then gave him the time to deal with the one with the Freezing Aura.

By the time Wang Tao put in some effort and took out the Freezing Giant Zombie, Lightning and the others had also finished their battle. The twenty-plus Giant Zombies were all killed.

“Good job!”

Wang Tao swiftly gathered the spoils of war while having the Golden Eagle stand guard.

But this time, even after Lightning had swallowed all the bodies, no other Giant Zombies appeared.

“It seems there really are fewer Giant Zombies here… Let’s continue searching!”

What Wang Tao was actually looking forward to was finding something like the Night Demon’s Nest, capable of continuously incubating Giant Zombies, so he would always have Giant Zombies to hunt. Unfortunately, it seemed he had wished for too much; so far, he hadn’t found anything like that.

Wang Tao also took the opportunity to test the [Sixth Rank Weapon – Iron Snake Wood]. After obtaining this biological weapon, he had used a large number of Crystal Cores to raise its Compatibility to 100%, making Wang Tao the new master of the Iron Snake Wood.

It had to be said, the trapping ability of the Iron Snake Wood was indeed very strong. It could even trap a Giant Zombie!

And it wasn’t just for a few seconds, but for several minutes!

If it weren’t for the fact that Wang Tao saw the Compatibility of the Iron Snake Wood dropping, which was equivalent to consuming Crystal Cores, making him feel a bit pained, it could probably have trapped for even longer!

Having witnessed the power of the Iron Snake Wood, Wang Tao suddenly thought of the Summoning Altar.

“If those Evil Gods were summoned and then trapped with the Iron Snake Wood… I wonder how long they could be held?”

After all, Wang Tao had never seen the true power of Seventh Level beings, so he wasn’t quite sure. However, he thought that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely give it a try!

If he could indeed trap a Seventh Level life form, the difficulty of Wang Tao attempting to defeat higher-level opponents would be reduced…

However, now was not the time to think about these things, it was best to deal with all the Giant Zombies inside this deep pit first!

“Huh? What’s that…”

Suddenly, Wang Tao saw another Giant Zombie.

But that scene…

In the distance, a Sixth-Rank Giant Zombie suddenly plunged its hand into its own lower body, fiddled around, and a yellow-green mucus along with black blood spurted out, followed by the sight of a ten-meter-tall Little Giant Zombie being pulled out!

After the Little Giant Zombie came out, it immediately began to suck up the mucus from the ground. Meanwhile, the Sixth-Rank Giant Zombie grabbed an Ordinary Zombie from somewhere and shoved it into its own body through its lower body!

“…Damn, is it birthing Little Giant Zombies? But this method is too explosive!”

Wang Tao had previously mentioned not seeing anything like Incubation Flesh. Now he had seen it! But Giant Zombies did not need Incubation Flesh to be born; instead, they came from the bellies of other higher-ranked Giant Zombies!

“So this is how Giant Zombies are incubated! No wonder there are so many here, and many of the Giant Zombies aren’t of a high level… But this means I can’t breed Giant Zombies…”

Daring to breed Giant Zombies was essentially courting death. Wang Tao would not attempt something so suicidal, so he could only exterminate all the Giant Zombies he saw.

There were quite a few Giant Zombies in this area, but similar to before, there were only two Sixth-Rank ones, the rest were either Fifth-Rank or even Fourth-Rank.

For Wang Tao, this was naturally not a problem.

…

Three days later, Wang Tao could confirm that there were no longer any living Giant Zombies in this deep pit.

“I’m so damn tired…”

Wang Tao, who had almost not closed his eyes, suddenly relaxed and then grinned.

Wiping out so many Giant Zombies not only netted him a hefty reward, but it was also a great boon for the other survivors. If that many Giant Zombies had made it out, it would have been extremely dangerous for many survivors. Wang Tao had also helped solve troubles for the nearby survivors… if there were any nearby.

“Let’s go, we’re heading back–”

“Woof~”

Just as Wang Tao was preparing to return, he suddenly heard Lightning bark excitedly, then it pounced straight toward him. Wang Tao caught it in his arms, and Lightning grunted, sinking into sleep in his embrace.

“Huh? It’s actually about to ascend to Sixth-Rank!”
