Chapter 1392: Chapter 576: Sixth-Rank Giant Zombie_2

"Good, the Giant Zombie is asleep and hasn’t noticed—huh? It woke up?"

Wang Tao was just thinking that the Giant Zombie’s freezing aura was indeed very strong, but since it was still asleep, he could still go set up traps.

However, what Wang Tao didn’t expect was that as soon as he entered within the range of the Giant Zombie’s freezing aura, the [Dormant] status of the Giant Zombie slowly disappeared.

A series of "crack" noises arose as the Giant Zombie slowly lifted its head, shaking its neck that seemed rusted, and its cataract-like eyes looked towards Wang Tao.

"It actually woke up... So this freezing aura also has an alert function?"

Wang Tao frowned slightly but did not panic.

He too was a Level 6!

Even in direct combat, Wang Tao wouldn’t be inferior to it.

However, considering the large range of the freezing aura, for safety, Wang Tao didn’t allow the Golden Eagle to get too close, because with the Golden Eagle’s current flying speed, it likely couldn’t dodge the attacks of the Giant Zombie. If it was struck even once, the Golden Eagle probably couldn’t withstand it.

Crack-crack—

The Giant Zombie propped itself up against the mountain wall and slowly stood up. It looked more like a mountain than any actual mountain, eclipsing the sun. The dim light in the sky was all blocked by it!

"Damn, that must be 200 meters tall!"

Wang Tao lifted his head and watched the terrifying Giant Zombie that had stood up. He quickly had the Golden Eagle fly higher. They couldn’t be suppressed by the size of the Giant Zombie; they needed to be at least on level with its head in order to launch attacks conveniently.

The power of a Giant Zombie was related to its size; the larger it was, the stronger it became. This Giant Zombie was 200 meters tall, taller than some skyscrapers, including the tall walls of Changhe Base! With such an enormous stature, its combat power could only be imagined to be terrifying! Wang Tao felt that he might have previously underestimated the combat power of this Giant Zombie.

Roar—

The Giant Zombie let out a roar towards Wang Tao, like it had found delicious food, and strode towards him.

Thud, thud—

The Giant Zombie’s speed appeared to be slow, but this was an illusion caused by its gigantic size. Plus, it could step over a hundred meters in a single stride - it needed only two steps to reach Wang Tao.

Wang Tao did not want to engage in close combat with it. He wasn’t afraid for himself, but he was worried that the Golden Eagle couldn’t handle it.

After all, the freezing aura radiated outward from the center of the Giant Zombie. If the Golden Eagle flew too close, it might not be able to avoid the Giant Zombie’s attacks.

"Retreat first!"

Wang Tao had the Golden Eagle immediately leave, avoiding any close contact with the Giant Zombie and not giving it any chance to attack.

Wang Tao’s own eyes glowed red as he fired two high-temperature rays at the Giant Zombie’s massive head.

[-5242]

[-5123]

[-5322]

[...]

"Eh? The damage seems pretty decent!"

Seeing the damage numbers, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

Giant Zombies are famously tough, not to mention this one was a 200-meter tall Sixth-Rank Giant Lord. The fact that Wang Tao could deal over ten thousand damage per second was pretty good.

This Level 6 Giant Zombie wasn’t as difficult to deal with as he imagined!

Sizzle—

Wang Tao’s eyes continuously shot out the high-temperature rays, incessantly firing at the Giant Zombie’s head. A multitude of damage numbers floated out, but the Giant Zombie’s total HP bar hadn’t decreased much... Looking closely, Wang Tao noticed that this Giant Zombie had an impressive Healing Ability—Wang Tao could inflict ten thousand damage, and it could regenerate five thousand!

This effectively halved Wang Tao’s damage!

A Level 6 Giant Zombie indeed wasn’t so easy to handle. But no problem, Wang Tao patted the Golden Eagle’s big head.

"Keep flying, kite it!"

The Giant Zombie’s Attack power must be extremely terrifying, so for safety reasons, Wang Tao wouldn’t put the Golden Eagle in danger. He didn’t need the Golden Eagle to attack, it only needed to keep flying without being caught by the Giant Zombie.

And Wang Tao’s estimate was quite accurate; the Giant Zombie moved at a speed of over a hundred or so, and after the Golden Eagle was slowed by the freezing aura, it was about the same speed. Thus, a balance was formed between the speed of the Golden Eagle and the Giant Zombie!

As long as the Golden Eagle maintained this speed, the Giant Zombie would never catch up to it, and naturally, it also wouldn’t be able to inflict any damage.

Although for Wang Tao, the continued use of [Scorching Eyes] will consume more and more Awakening Energy, but with Wang Tao’s current Awakening Energy limit of over 9,000, there’s no need to be too frugal.

Wang Tao felt that he could kite this Giant Zombie to death.

"Having such strength is useless if it’s still just a big dumb brute..."

Wang Tao complained in his heart, then occasionally attacked it with High-Temperature Rays, aiming for a flawless victory.

However, while fighting, Wang Tao’s expression turned serious again.

"What the hell is with this abnormal Blood Regeneration ability!"

Wang Tao suddenly realized that the Giant Zombie’s HP regeneration was not fixed but varied with the percentage of HP remaining—the lower the Giant Zombie’s HP, the more it would regenerate!

At the start of the battle, Wang Tao relied on the damage from [Scorching Eyes] to surpass the Giant Zombie’s healing, thus lowering its health bar.

But as the Giant Zombie’s HP decreased, its healing ability also grew stronger. And Wang Tao’s attack power was almost constant... so, the effective damage Wang Tao could inflict was diminishing.

He estimated that once the Giant Zombie’s HP dropped to a certain level, the damage caused by Wang Tao would be on par with its regeneration!

"I thought it would be easy to kite it to death, but it seems that’s not going to work!"

Wang Tao somewhat helplessly stopped the use of [Scorching Eyes]. There was no need to waste Awakening Energy now. He rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, then placed the two little ferrets he had in his pocket onto the Golden Eagle’s back.

"Stay away from me for a bit. I’m going to fight it up close."

Although the Giant Zombie’s Blood Regeneration ability was heaven-defying, Wang Tao hadn’t given it his all yet. It had only used one type of attack method so far.

Wang Tao had many ways to attack; he could fly, had a strong Shield, especially since his Fire Attribute was the nemesis of the Ice Attribute. Plus, his Dark Attribute had various Curse Effects, even one that could stop regeneration... Wang Tao felt ready to battle.

However, Wang Tao’s wings had a limited energy supply, at most allowing for 16 minutes of flight, so it wouldn’t be possible to wage an Endurance Battle against this Giant Zombie. Wang Tao also set a timeframe for himself: if he couldn’t take it down in 10 minutes, he would withdraw and plan for the long term.

Chirp—

The Golden Eagle responded and fled beyond the range of the Freezing Aura without looking back.

Aside from Wang Tao, it was usually fearless, as it could fly and escape if it couldn’t win in a fight. But the Giant Zombie made it feel extremely threatened. Just one mistake could turn it into the Giant Zombie’s meal. Since Wang Tao didn’t need it anymore, it quickly took off.

Swoosh—

Wang Tao spread a pair of Dark Blood Great Wings like those of a Devil’s Wings behind his back and hovered in the air.

The Giant Zombie’s target was clearly Wang Tao. It didn’t even glance at the fleeing Golden Eagle and ran straight towards Wang Tao with large strides.

The Freezing aura carried by the Giant Zombie also affected Wang Tao. Despite not being slowed down as drastically as the Golden Eagle by 50%, there was still a slowdown of about 20% to 30%. Naturally, Wang Tao would not confront the Giant Zombie with this disadvantageous status effect.

He activated Starfire Prairie.

Whoosh—

Flames ignited around Wang Tao, the frost on his clothes gradually vanished, and the flames spread from his body to the Giant Blade in his hand and also to his huge wings. The aura of Freezing around him disappeared... A "Flame Demon" appeared in the eyes of the pursuing Giant Zombie.

Perhaps sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Wang Tao, the Giant Zombie unusually slowed its pace. Its murky eyes stared intently at Wang Tao, silently opening its mouth, and a yellow-green mucus oozed from within.

"...Is it drooling over me?"

Wang Tao felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately flapped his Flame Wings, soaring towards the Giant’s head like a comet trailing flames.

The Giant Zombie swung its hand attempting to grab Wang Tao, but his speed was too fast, and he slipped right through its fingers!

In the blink of an eye, a Giant Blade flickering with both flames and Black Light had already been plunged into the Giant Zombie’s forehead.

[-33843]

[Curse: Corruption]

[Corruption: The target’s own Blood Regeneration ability is reduced]

"Such good luck?"

Seeing that the first Curse was one that reduced healing, Wang Tao immediately raised an eyebrow.

Since that was the case, he wouldn’t hold back!
