I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World

Chapter 376: Chapter 373: Getting Lost_1

This giant tree was not slender; it was a fat one. Not just any fat, but extraordinarily so. It stood at nearly five hundred meters tall, with a trunk diameter of at least a hundred meters, standing between heaven and earth, like a pillar that connects the sky and the ground!

Under its canopy, there was a shadow. No matter how brilliant the sunlight was, it could not penetrate through it!

Tang Ye’s depth of digging only penetrated about a sixth of the thickness of the tree’s trunk. If he dug a little deeper, even he, as a Level 5 zombie, would not be able to continue digging.

Angrily stomping his foot, kicking up a cloud of wood chips, looking around reluctantly, Tang Ye could only walk back out. When he came out, Ah Fu had just awakened.

As it evolved to Level 5, it increasingly resembled the devils in Western myths, its body completely black. The red lines wrapped around its body while at Level 4 twisted, looking like natural tattoos.

It just stood there, fifteen to sixteen meters tall, its muscles unconsciously bulging without any intentional movements, looking exactly like a giant beast!

Its legs bulged thickly as though they were stick-insect’s legs magnified hundreds of times, evolved lengthy bone spurs sticking out of its ankles, bending downwards, directly embedded into the soil.

The horns on its head also curved downwards around to the back of its ears. The originally undisciplined thick black antennae on its back also became orderly in rows stretching from its left shoulder to its right shoulder.

Looking at its state, Tang Ye was quite satisfied, especially with the antennae on its head. Due to evolution, several dozens had grown. If not looked at carefully, it could be mistaken for hair. This evolution had added points to Ah Fu’s appearance, providing a violent aesthetic appeal.

Tang Ye turned his attention to its hands and his eyes lit up. There were a dozen holes at its thick wrists, each hole housing a thick, sharply pointed bone spur.

Tang Ye’s eyes lit up because Ah Fu had reported in its first message that it could freely retract the bone spurs on its wrists!

Like Tang Ye, Ah Fu is a mutant zombie, an absolute power-type specialist. This kind of zombie that possesses strength also has terrifying defense capability.

The high attack power that this provides Ah Fu also results in a powerful destructive force unlike Tang Ye, whose bone blade would break down midway through digging a tree.

Thinking of this, Tang Ye immediately dragged Ah Fu into the hole he had dug. Under his guidance, all of the bone spurs on Ah Fu’s arm extended, turning into a bone spade that emitted a cold light!

Tang Ye looked at Ah Fu and touched his nose, then shouted loudly: "Go!"

Grr!

Immediately, Ah Fu let out a roar, raised a hand, and aimed the bone spade at where Tang Ye had dug. With a loud "bang", the bone spade dug in fiercely, sending wood chips flying!

"Beautiful!"

Tang Ye was excited in his heart. He did not believe that such a large tree could grow normally. It must be an evolved plant. Since it is an evolved plant, there must be an Evolution Crystal Core inside. Anyway, whether there is an Evolution Crystal Core inside or not, Tang Ye refuses to believe that there isn’t!

Under Ah Fu’s digging, it managed to penetrate a few meters beyond where Tang Ye had reached. However, this turn of events disappointed Tang Ye. The closer you get to the center of the tree trunk, the harder it becomes!

Now, Ah Fu had reached its limit. Several notches had appeared on the bone spade on both hands. Tang Ye stomped his foot furiously and punched the wood next to him.

With this punch, nothing happened to the wooden wall, but there was a click and the bones in Tang Ye’s fist were dislocated.

"F*ck!"

With an angry curse, he returned the displaced bones in his fist to their original positions and led Ah Fu outside again.

Coming out, he looked at the treetop that could almost blot out the sky with a complicated expression, knowing that he definitely would not gain any advantages this time.

He later rationalized that having an extra Zombie Dragon Junior Bro wasn’t a bad thing to balance his mentality. He jumped down with Ah Fu and left the island.

When he got down, he first checked the direction and confirmed where Xu Haishui and Ah Fu had flown, then moved in that direction.

The speed of the two Level 5 zombies was high, and in a short while they crossed several kilometers. At first, Tang Ye thought he was moving in the correct direction and didn’t find anything wrong.

However, after two hours, they didn’t see Xu Haishui and the Pseudo-dragon, and instead arrived at a hillside.

Tang Ye didn’t pay much attention to this hillside, assuming Xu Haishui should have flown far away. When the Pseudo-dragon had led his three zombies to the location of the giant tree, it looked like they had climbed over a hillside.

Because Tang Ye didn’t carefully observe the view he saw along the journey, he assumed this hillside was the one they had previously passed.

He and Ah Fu reached the top of the hillside. Looking down, they were startled.

"What’s happening!"

Tang Ye’s face was filled with unprecedented shock. They saw the giant tree again, the island that was lifted up by the roots, and the same forest below. Tang Ye wondered whether he been drugged and was suffering from illusions!

"Damn!"

Tang Ye quickly turned back and saw only misty clouds and fog behind him. They couldn’t see the shadow of the giant tree while the giant tree in front was occasionally visible amidst the clouds and fog.

He and Ah Fu ran forward to uncover the truth. After around two hours, Tang Ye arrived at this "newly appeared" giant tree and circled around it, finding the traces left by the Pseudo-dragon’s crawl.

Upon seeing this, he was both astonished and amazed, marveling at the wonder but also feeling a little flustered.

"What’s going on? Did we just walk in circles?"

Looking back at the path he had taken, Tang Ye circled around the giant tree in front of him, flew to the island above, and found the hole he had previously dug.

This hole and the traces left by the Pseudo-dragon had shown that the giant tree in front of him was the same one they had left behind!

Tang Ye glanced at Ah Fu and saw no unusual expression on its face. He could only smile bitterly. If only Ah Fu and the Pseudo-dragon had flown out, he could at least discuss with Xu Haishui what was happening if they encountered a similar situation.

Although Ah Fu had evolved to Level 5 and had the intelligence of a three-year-old child, its intellect was still too low, completely like a child. It blindly follows Tang Ye, its "Adult". Wherever Tang Ye walks, it goes. It has no subjective consciousness.

After stopping here for a while, Tang Ye continued walking with it with a skeptically. This time, he walked slowly. It took almost four hours to reach the hill again and found his own footprints from earlier.

During this time, they encountered a Level 3 giant deer which was smashed into a pulp with one punch from Ah Fu, becoming their dinner.
