Chapter 265 Fire Monster
This active-attack crystal core is called [Instant Strike]. This crystal core was exploded after Yang Changhong and the others encountered a group of third-level elite zombies and killed them.
【Third-order crystal core·Instant strike】
【Quality: Excellent (60%)】
【Purity: 40% (side effect: reduced attack power)】
【Instant attack: Consume energy and attack instantly. There is a certain interval between attacks]
This power is quite interesting. According to Yang Changhong, the zombies all held cold weapons such as sticks and machetes in their hands. As long as you fight them at close range, you will definitely be attacked first!
It is difficult to see how their attacks are launched because they are so fast. But the damage is not very high, at least it is not a fatal threat to them wearing iron tree armor.
After Wang Tao saw the specific attributes of this crystal core, he probably understood that this attack is simply fast.
Of course, fast speed is actually a symbol of attack power. The simplest example is bullets. But the side effect of this crystal core is to reduce the attack power...
So this is also the reason why Yang Changhong and the others feel that the opponent's attack is very fast, but the attack power is not high.
Of course, this is not a problem for Wang Tao.
He used three instant strike cores to combine it into an epic, and then extracted one of its other abilities and fused it.
After a moment, Wang Tao successfully integrated [Instant Strike].
He tested it, and after removing the side effects, the power of this instant hit was indeed not small, almost the same as high-frequency vibration. But there is no interval between high-frequency vibration attacks. As long as he has the ability, he can use it at any time. But the instant attack doesn't work, there is an interval of about ten seconds.
But it’s enough for Wang Tao. The characteristic of instant attack is not the damage, but the instant attack, making people unable to defend against it. Wang Tao thought this was very suitable for a sneak attack.
As for the shortcomings, it may be that the attack range is relatively short.
Wang Tao took a look at his own abilities.
Instant Strike and Fusion can indeed be combined, with a probability of more than 90%. Wang Tao directly integrated.
A moment later, a new fusion ability appeared. The name remained the same, but there was one more entry.
【Level 3·1·Comprehensive】
【Integration: consume energy, you can use instant strikes, consecutive cuts, air bullets, high-frequency vibrations, shock waves, fight cattle across mountains, and charge a blow】
Wang Tao immediately began to take out the third-order all-powerful crystal core and began to fuse it.
His third-level all-powerful crystal core has been almost used up, and the explosion rate of the all-powerful crystal core is not high, but this time they cleaned up more zombies, many of which were third-level elites, so the all-powerful crystal core still exploded some. , barely enough.
After spending some time, Wang Tao's mastery ability also successfully increased by 10. At this point, all four of his abilities are level three +10!
Now, all we need is a fourth-level promotion core!
…
Wang Tao and his team rested at the base for three days to recharge their batteries.
This day, the rain became lighter.
Wang Tao and his team, who were well prepared, took a helicopter and headed to the urban area of Wuyang City again under the leadership of He Jijun.
With previous experience, He Jijun pulled up the helicopter and flew from a high altitude as soon as he went out.
Although this cannot make the noise disappear, it can make the noise relatively less and dispersed. This can prevent zombies from quickly gathering below.
Of course, the premise is that the helicopter keeps moving. Otherwise, if it stays for a while, it will still attract a lot of zombies.
As soon as he arrived near the city, Wang Tao cursed secretly.
"wipe!"
Because you can clearly see the huge figure on the edge of the city from the helicopter!
“Giant zombie!”
Everyone's face looked a little ugly.
Since the giant zombie is here, it is natural that it cannot pass through here. Although the speed of giant zombies is definitely not as fast as that of helicopters, it would be a disaster if they were knocked down by a slap. There's no need to take the risk.
So He Jijun started to take a detour.
Finally, after finally avoiding this giant zombie, another giant zombie appeared in the distance!
Everyone was a little confused.
What is the situation with these giant zombies? Why did they end up outside the city?
Wang Tao's face was very ugly.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Changhong asked with concern.
“This giant zombie is not the three we encountered before.”
"ah?"
Everyone was stunned.
“You mean, there are other giant zombies?”
“That’s right…”
These giant zombies look similar, so it’s hard to tell them apart. The three giant zombies Wang Tao saw before had 200,000 blood, 300,000 blood and 400,000 blood respectively.
This giant zombie has 350,000 health, and the giant zombie they just bypassed has 300,000 health.
Obviously, this should be another new giant zombie!
How many giant zombies are there in the urban area of Wuyang City? !
Wang Tao suddenly had the idea of leaving the military base quickly. After all, there are so many giant zombies next to the base, which makes people have trouble sleeping and eating!
Everyone was silent for a moment after hearing Wang Tao's affirmative words.
Four giant zombies make people feel desperate, and there may be more than four... And just to prove their idea, after He Jijun avoided this giant zombie from a long distance, another giant zombie appeared in the distance!
“All the giant zombies in Wuyang City have gone to the outskirts of the city? Could it be that... they are specifically here to block us?”
Nie Siyan said suddenly.
This is a bit outrageous. Can zombies remember them? Are you here just to wait and see? So smart?
But considering the current situation, it seems not impossible!
“Let’s go and take a look at other places. If there are really many giant zombies in Wuyang City, and they are all on the periphery...then we can only go back.”
Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.
He Jijun drove the helicopter and continued the detour.
Then, Wang Tao discovered the fifth, sixth...tenth giant zombie!
Others were completely helpless.
Whether these giant zombies are here to wait and see, they have no way to enter the city anyway.
And everyone is worried that if these giant zombies discover the location of the military base, they may not be able to directly destroy the military base...
“Wang Tao, what do you say?”
He Jijun looked at Wang Tao.
Although they were not discovered by the giant zombies and did not cause a zombie wave, the plane ran out of fuel due to too many detours.
They will have to look for another half hour at most. Once the half hour is up, they have to leave regardless of whether they can enter the city or not. You have to leave more fuel for the aircraft and more room for error.
“Go on! I don’t believe it! Anyway, Lao He, watch the time and leave when the time comes!”
Wang Tao clenched his fists and said.
"good!"
The plane changed its direction again far away and flew in another direction.
“Hmm? What’s going on over there?”
After flying for a while, there were finally no giant zombies here. Before Wang Tao and the others had time to rejoice, they saw a group of houses on fire. It's still raining, but the fire has not been extinguished, but is getting more intense!
“That seems to be a warehouse?”
Yang Changhong was a little unsure. The helicopter flew relatively high and she couldn't see clearly with a telescope.
Wang Tao asked He Jijun to lower his height slightly. Anyway, there are no giant zombies in this place, so it should be safe.
Hum—
As the helicopter descended, the loud noise slowly spread, and many zombies on the ground began to look up at the sky.
Wang Tao and his party finally saw the fire place over there clearly. This should be a warehouse or something like that. There were many standardized low-rise buildings, but most of the buildings were on fire.
The fire was raging and smoke was billowing.
Wang Tao felt that it was impossible for this to catch fire for no reason, especially since it had been raining and it was not a hot and dry weather, so the probability of something spontaneously combusting was relatively low.
“Are there any survivors?”
Wang Tao was a little confused.
Since it is not spontaneous combustion, it must be man-made. Zombies can't set fire, right? Then there is a high probability that he is a survivor!
If there are really survivors in Wuyang City, Wang Tao should get to know him. Wang Tao thought he couldn't survive in such an environment.
Hearing the word survivor, Yang Changhong suddenly became excited. The reason why she came to Wuyang City was to find her sister.
Unfortunately, after they entered Wuyang City, they found He Jijun alive, and there were no other survivors.
Although he didn't want to believe it, Yang Changhong knew that his sister was most likely to be in bad luck.
Now that he suddenly discovered someone who was suspected of having supernatural powers, Yang Changhong suddenly became excited! What if there is news about her sister!
However, Yang Changhong soon became disappointed.
As the helicopter lowered, she clearly saw that there were no zombies or humans in the burning warehouse. There were many zombies outside the warehouse, but these zombies were not surrounding the warehouse—if there were people inside the warehouse, these zombies would not be so calm.
Moreover, the sound of their plane is getting louder and louder. If there are any survivors, why don’t they come out to watch the plane? After all, this is a military aircraft and represents the military...
Wang Tao was also a little disappointed. He didn't find any trace of humans.
Unless a human being hid deliberately, this area was relatively flat and open, and there was a fire, so there was no place to hide.
"It seems that there are no survivors. Or the survivors have left long ago - huh?" Wang Tao just finished speaking and was suddenly stunned for a moment.
He quickly rubbed his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Changhong asked.
"There seems to be something in the sea of fire... Damn it! Fourth-level lord!"
Wang Tao pointed to a place in the sea of fire with some confusion.
Yang Changhong and others followed Wang Tao's gaze and found something wrong.
In that raging sea of fire, there was a shadow burning with flames!
Looking at his figure, he looks like a tall human being. But I can't see its facial features clearly, maybe it has no facial features!
This flaming figure was in a hazy state, and everyone wondered if they were dazzled and mistook the flame for a human being. But it is indeed different from the surrounding flames, much like a...person!
"What it is?!"
Everyone was very miraculous when they saw this scene.
Wang Tao subconsciously ignored the sea of fire when he was observing it before.
After all, it is impossible for a person to be in a sea of fire. As for zombies, although the flames cannot stay on the zombies for too long, this is because the blood of the zombies has a fire-stopping effect. This does not mean that the zombies are not afraid of fire. They are all carbon-based organisms, how could they not be afraid of fire?
But this thing is indeed in the middle of the sea of fire, and it even seems to be an energy body of flame!
But when Wang Tao saw its specific attributes, he suddenly understood. This is a monster!
【HP: 120000/120000】
【Blue amount: 120000/120000】
【Level: Level 4·Lord】
【Impurities in the body: 50%】
【Awakening: Blazing Flame】
[Blazing flame: body burning with blazing flame]
The awakening ability of this monster is to set itself on fire? So not only is it not afraid of fire, this sea of fire may have been caused by it!
But...it doesn’t matter whether you are on fire or water, as long as it is a fourth-level zombie, it is Wang Tao’s prey!
Wang Tao immediately aimed his heavy machine gun at the flame monster.
“Attack!”
He reminded everyone, and then pulled the trigger instantly.
Da da da-
Jiang Shixue's hand had already been on the machine gun. After hearing Wang Tao's instructions, she immediately pulled the trigger.
Four heavy machine guns fired at the same time, and four tongues of flame flew towards the flame monster.
However-
【-1】
【-1】
【-1】
【…】
Looking at the large series of "-1", Wang Tao was a little dumbfounded.
No, this fire monster’s defense is higher than that of a giant zombie?
He can still get more than ten points of blood when he uses a heavy machine gun to hit giant zombies!
The question of not believing in evil fired again, aiming at the head of the zombie. But the result is still the same!
【-1】
【-1】
【-1】
【…】
“Something’s wrong!”
Wang Tao felt something was wrong. No matter how high the defense of this fire monster was, it couldn't possibly only take a little damage, right? Even if it’s two or three, that’s fine!
“Brother, there seems to be something wrong with the flames on its body?”
Jiang Shixue suddenly spoke.
Although she couldn't see the health bar, she could see that bullets hitting the zombies seemed to be of no use.
Wang Tao also felt that the flames on its body were strange. Now that he heard that Jiang Shixue had this idea, Wang Tao immediately became more sure of his judgment.
“Lao He, go down a little!”
Wang Tao shouted.
He Jijun immediately lowered the helicopter some.
There are no high-rise buildings in this area, so there are no visual blind spots, and the field of vision is very wide. If a giant zombie comes and can be spotted immediately, you can be more bold.
As the helicopter lowered, Wang Tao could see the flame monster more clearly.
He saw that when he pulled the trigger and the bullet flew towards the flame monster, the bullet did not land directly on the zombie, but was blocked by the flames on its body!
“Holy shit! What kind of ability is this!”
Wang Tao told everyone about this discovery, and everyone was confused.
Can flames stop bullets?
Others were a little distrustful and tried again, but it still didn’t work. Whether it was a heavy machine gun bullet or a rifle bullet, it would be blocked after hitting the flame monster, and then slowly fall to the ground!
“I thought the previous explosion-proof zombie had high defense, but I didn’t expect this one to be more powerful...”
Yang Changhong smiled bitterly.
Heavy machine guns can’t hit the flame monster, so how can they win?
Wang Tao stopped shooting. When Jiang Shixue saw that Wang Tao had stopped, she stopped too.
Then Wang Tao saw that the trace of blood they had just defeated the flame monster was filled up again in an instant!
“Also has the ability to heal itself…”
The only thing Wang Tao is thankful for now is that this flame monster doesn't seem to have long-range attack capabilities.
As long as it cannot attack the helicopter, Wang Tao will be invincible.
Wang Tao tried other attacks, such as throwing scalpels, steel bars, etc.
But no matter what attack hits the fire monster, it will always cause a little damage. And this damage will be fully restored.
Everyone is a little helpless. With this level of defense, it is impossible to beat him to death!
The zombies are gathering more and more below. If you can't think of a way, then you have no choice but to leave. After all, the giant zombie is not like this fire monster who just takes a beating without fighting back.
At this time, Wang Tao mounted his heavy machine gun again and fired a shot at the flame monster. But this shot is not an ordinary bullet, but an air bullet.
boom!
ˆ【-1593】
"efficient!"
Wang Tao just suddenly thought that ordinary bullets are useless to it, so are air bullets useful?
He had used air bullets before when attacking explosion-proof zombies. But it is less powerful than heavy machine gun bullets, so Wang Tao is useless. Now I suddenly remembered it and gave it a try. The result is really effective!
“What is the principle of this? This kind of non-physical attack is actually harmful?”
Wang Tao doesn’t know what the principle is, but since it works, he’s welcome!
Da da da-
Wang Tao fired again.
He was basically certain that this fire monster had a self-healing ability. Because when Wang Tao attacks it, it doesn't recover blood. Once it stops attacking, it regains health. The self-healing ability will be interrupted. So this is most likely a self-healing condition.
So as long as Wang Tao keeps attacking it, it won't be able to use self-healing!
Wang Tao can use air bullets once every ten seconds, and can use them 10 times a minute. According to the damage of 1,500 per time, that is 9,000 per minute! As long as it doesn't recover blood, it can be killed in ten minutes!
Ten minutes, can you hold on?
Facts tell Wang Tao, no.
Because a giant zombie is walking in the distance!
Seeing this giant zombie, everyone was a little nervous. But no one urged Wang Tao.
The flame monster seemed to be a little interested in the helicopter. It walked out of the sea of fire, but the flames on its body still did not go out.
Wang Tao saw this and said directly:
“Lao He, lower it a little more!”
Hum—
He Jijun said nothing and continued to lower the helicopter. It lowered to a distance of more than ten meters from the flame monster before stopping.
Wang Tao took out his bone knife and slashed the flame monster into the void. A shock wave rushed towards the flame monster.
Air bullets can actually damage it, but what about shock waves?
ˆ【-1283】
“Sure enough!”
Wang Tao’s guess is correct, this kind of non-physical attack can hurt it!
So, Wang Tao gritted his teeth.
“Old He, can you help me lure away the giant zombies?”
“I can. What are you going to do?”
“I want to...go down!”
Wang Tao took a deep breath, and then said to Yang Changhong and Jiang Shixue:
“I’ll go down alone, I can hurt it! You go and lure away the giant zombie! Please!”
After saying that, Wang Tao jumped out of the helicopter!
At the same time, the iron tree roots wrapped around Wang Tao's wrist squirmed rapidly. Before landing, Wang Tao turned into a "plant monster".
咚—
After Wang Tao killed the Iron Tree Monster before, the "Tangled Roots" devoured the Iron Tree Monster's corpse, thus evolving once and becoming the "Tangled Iron Tree Roots". And it has one more ability - fire protection.
There is a small setting that I forgot to write in the previous article. It is that Night Demon Type I is similar to Night Demon. They are both afraid of ultraviolet rays. I have already added it in the previous article.
