Chapter 2: Zombie King – A Battle To Bet His Life

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the other side of the portal was a lush jungle.

“Huehuehue ~”

Just as Ye Tianyu was looking around vigilantly, a series of strange cries came from the forest.

It sounded like an old man crying, or howling, or a demon laughing madly.

“This sound is so strange!”

“Is the owner of that voice the ultimate Boss?”

Ye Tianyu held the longbow in front of him and slowly walked forward.

About ten meters away stood a towering tree. Its thick trunk was painted with many strange blue runes, and a hemp rope was tied in the middle. A cold breeze caused the talisman hanging on the hemp rope to shake. It looked very eerie.

Suddenly, a huge shadow loomed down. It was the shadow of a humanoid creature.

Who would someone have such a big shadow?

As if recalling something, Ye Tianyu hurriedly retreated a few steps.

Almost at the same time, a tall, strong demonic creature jumped down from the tree.

With a bang, a deep pit was formed in the ground!

[Mutated Zombie King] (Zombie-like Demonic Creature)

Description: As the king of the Dense Fog Forest, its sharp claws have the ability to tear through steel and it contains the zombie virus. After being infected, ordinary people will mutate into zombies, whereas there would certain damage dealt to mutants.

Attack Method: Body Strengthening (Sharp Claw is its strongest attack method. After being strengthened by its demonic powers, its claws are comparable to sharp daggers)

Overall Combat Level: C+

Upon seeing this evaluation, Ye Tianyu was very surprised.

He had hunted hundreds of monsters in the hidden dungeon, but they were all low-level zombies or low-level zombie hounds. At that moment, as he faced the mutated C+zombie king, he actually felt a long-awaited fear.

It was as if there was a voice in his body telling him that the enemy before him was extremely dangerous. If he did not escape, he would face death.

“Huehuehue ~”

Ye Tianyu didn’t have much time to think. The next moment, the zombie king tilted its head and let out a weird sound from its throat. Its entire body started to lean to one side.

When it was preparing to attack, it would habitually tilt its body and use its flexibility to increase the impact.

Ye Tianyu stared without blinking at the zombie king. He knew that the zombie king was not waving at him, but looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Like the calm before a storm, the atmosphere became abnormally oppressive.

Suddenly, the zombie king charged forward like a bullet. Its sharp and long nails tore through the air, leaving deep scratches on the tree trunks on both sides.

The zombie king sprinted and appeared less than a meter away from Ye Tianyu.

So fast!

Ye Tianyu didn’t have time to think. He rolled behind a big tree and narrowly avoided the attack.

“How terrifying. With its combination of agility, speed, and super strong attack power, it is truly worthy of the title ‘zombie king’. Its overall combat power is much stronger than ordinary monsters!”

“The Skeletal Warriors are too weak. Even if they are summoned, they only have the power to deal one strike. I have to think of other ways!”

As Ye Tianyu used the trees as cover to dodge the attacks, he calculated the best timing to strike. His thoughts were running at full speed at this moment.

“Dammit, it’s happening again!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Within a few minutes, the zombie king launched several attacks.

Sometimes, it would attack with its sharp claws.

Sometimes, it would use its sharp teeth to bite.

Sometimes, it would rely on the impact of its body to pounce at him.

The zombie king’s attack was crazy and lethal, leaving traces of its attack on the surrounding trees.

Ye Tianyu was placed in a dangerous spot several times, but with his agile reflexes, he could always avoid the most dangerous moments.

Unfortunately, this was not a fair battle to begin with.

Ye Tianyu was a human after all. His stamina would eventually run out, but the zombie king wouldn’t. It only followed its heart’s desire for flesh and blood. It was as scary as a tireless fighting machine.

While dodging, Ye Tianyu stepped on a piece of gravel and fell backward.

The zombie king roared excitedly like a wild beast. It accelerated and rushed over, its long and sharp claws shining with a cold light.

At this critical moment, Ye Tianyu summoned the Skeleton Warrior. It grabbed the zombie king’s legs, throwing it into the forest.

Smash!

A shattering sound was heard. The zombie king’s sharp claws dug deep into the tree trunk. It roared and tried to pull itself out of the tree’s grip.

This was a good opportunity!

Ye Tianyu caught its flaw and immediately ordered, “Skeleton Warrior, trap it!”

The Skeleton Warrior stretched out its white bone arms from behind the tree trunk and firmly grabbed the zombie king’s arms. As there was a tree trunk between the two, the zombie king could not attack.

“Ah! Die!”

Ye Tianyu’s face was pale. It was unknown if it was due to fear or because he had expended too much energy, but he abandoned his longbow and took out an arrow. He raised it above his head and stabbed it towards the zombie’s head.

At this moment, he unleashed his strongest power without reservation.

“Clang clang!”

The zombie king’s head was very hard. Ye Tianyu’s fierce attack only left a shallow wound on it and the intense pain caused it to become even more violent. It tried to break free but failed.

Ye Tianyu suddenly realized how hard this thing was. It was almost as hard as the rocks on the roadside.

Since he couldn’t kill it in one go, he would have to attempt a few more times!

Stab!

Stab!

Stab!

…

Seeing that the zombie king was still struggling crazily, Ye Tianyu raised his sharp arrows and continuously stabbed at it. At first, he could still aim at the head and attack it, but in the end, his vision started to become blurry. He no longer knew where he stabbed, nor did he remember how many times he repeated his actions.

He waved the arrow in his hand over and over again until he heard that familiar prompt.

“Beep! Successfully killed the zombie king!”

“Checking the progress of Class Advancement mission…”

“Hahaha! I’ve finally succeeded!”

A smile blossomed on Ye Tianyu’s pale face as he burst out laughing.

“Beep! Hidden Dungeon mission completed!”

“Beep! Completed collection of 150 zombie teeth. Gained immunity to the zombie virus!”

“Beep! Completed killing of 100 ordinary zombies, 50 zombie hounds, and one zombie king. Mission progress reached 100%!”

[Detected the only hidden class. Do you want to change class? After you change your class, you will not be able to choose any other class!]

Ye Tianyu made his choice without hesitation.

“Confirm!”

[Dark Magic Summoner, Class Advancement in progress…]

“Class Advancement progress: 1%…”

“Class Advancement Progress: 2%…”

“It’s starting!” Ye Tianyu was both anxious and expectant..
