Chapter 540 - Soulless  

The blood puppet had no choice but to stop. It raised its steaming fist and swung it forward.

“Bang!!!”

The punch hit the Licker in the face. A dent appeared on the Licker’s body, and it was sent flying.

Bang…

When it landed on the ground, the Licker’s dented body had almost recovered. After rolling on the ground, it had recovered to full health, and it pounced on the blood puppet again.

How could this be?!

Lin Hanzheng’s eyes were wide open.

The progress of the matter was completely beyond Lin Hanzheng’s expectations.

Why were these Lickers’ vitality so tenacious??

The more he observed, the more shocked Lin Hanzheng was.

He saw with his own eyes that a Licker did not die even after being stared at by the blood puppet five or six times.

“Roar…”

The blood puppet seemed to be enraged. It let out a deep roar and grabbed a Licker. It held the Licker tightly in its hand until its bones were crushed, making creaking sounds.

It was as if it was venting its anger.

However, the Licker that was held tightly was immortal!

After pinching it for a full minute, the blood puppet threw the deformed Licker far away!

But before it landed, Lin Hanzheng was shocked to find that the bones of the Licker were healing at an alarming speed.

Bang!!

The Licker fell heavily to the ground.

It had recovered its original size, and the wounds on its body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Hanzheng opened his mouth, unable to understand the scene in front of him.

Why couldn’t these Lickers be killed?

He had never heard of such a modified Licker!

It must be Fang Heng!

Right! That book!

What was the origin of the book in Fang Heng’s hand?!

Lin Hanzheng stared at the book in Fang Heng’s hand, memorizing every detail of it. He was going to investigate it thoroughly when he went back.

Nearly 100 Lickers surrounded the blood puppet and attacked it crazily.

Hints appeared in Fang Heng’s vision.

[Hint: Your zombie clone (Licker) has caused 201 damage to the blood puppet.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone has received the burning blood effect. Received 40 damage.]

[Hint: Your Licker’s HP has fully recovered…]

Burning blood effect.

Every time the Licker gnawed on an enemy, it would receive a corresponding percentage of damage.

In most cases, the blood puppet had the perfect skill for dealing with normal small-scale melee units.

However, the undying body, which was rewarded after completing the hidden ending of the apocalypse, was even more of a bug!

Its powerful life recovery effect directly ignored the little damage from the burning blood. It was even immune to all lethal physical damage.

The blood puppet belonged to the category of magic and puppet creature. However, other than the burning blood damage, its attack style was still just a physical attack.

In theory, unless one was too unlucky and the dying Licker bit the blood puppet and died due to the burning blood effect, the Lickers would never be defeated!

Lin Hanzheng was deeply shocked.

After fighting for a long time, not a single Licker seemed to be injured. On the contrary, the burning blood on the blood puppet had become dimmer.

So…

Fang Heng’s strength could be considered to be at the level of a Tier 5 player?

As expected of the leader of the Scavenger Army, the strongest villain in the apocalyptic world. At the same time, he was also a player who unified the entire District 8.

Lin Hanzheng looked at Fang Heng with more respect for the strong.

After being besieged for more than seven minutes, the blood puppet fell backward and fell heavily to the ground.

“Bang!!”

A heavy sound was heard.

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows, and a layer of dead ash was attached to his eyes.

After upgrading the elementary necromancy to Level 10, his eyes could already see the soul directly.

The soul of a Tier 5 creature.

Different from normal souls, the soul of a high-tier creature was good material for casting necromancy.

It was enough for him to exchange for a small number of points in the Necromancer Association!

Even if he used the Book of the Dead to directly devour and absorb it, he could still get quite a lot of experience points.

Fang Heng wanted to try and capture it.

He had been planning this since the beginning. He was already prepared to use the Book of the Dead to retrieve it.

“Huh? There’s no soul?”

Fang Heng frowned and muttered to himself.

He didn’t see the soul of the blood puppet.

Lin Hanzheng heard Fang Heng’s muttering and turned back to ask, “What? What’s not there?”

“Nothing.”

Fang Heng shook his head and thought to himself.

“Why can’t I see it?”

“Is it because I can’t see it in the game?”

Or was it because the blood puppet was a puppet, so it didn’t have a soul?

If that was the case, would a high-tier zombie creature also have no soul?

Fang Heng felt that the latter was more likely.

It was a little unfair.

Fang Heng closed the Book of the Dead in his hand in disappointment. Then, he opened the game log and flipped it back.

[Hint: You have killed the blood puppet. You have obtained 221 survival points. You have obtained high energy evolution crystal*1.]

Fortunately, the blood puppet was quite powerful this time.

He had more or less recovered his losses.

Fang Heng was quite satisfied. He reached out and absorbed the high energy evolution crystal into the imprint on the back of his hand.

Just as he had guessed, the blood puppet was a life form controlled by an NPC. Therefore, he could also obtain a reward after killing it.

He already had 6 high energy evolution crystals on him. Adding this one, he needed 13 more to complete the creation of the Tier 4 space tearing device, unlock the new attribute of the world boundary and two additional time warp backpack slots.

He might not need the world boundary yet, but he really needed the backpack slot. A two-hour cooldown was too much.

As the real world and the game world became more and more connected, it would be better to expand the backpack as soon as possible.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

He didn’t let go of the remaining three blood puppets, and he killed all of them.

A flash of greed appeared in Fang Heng’s eyes. He turned to look at Lin Hanzheng. “Let’s go. There are still a few blood puppets left. Let’s continue.”

“Uh…”

Lin Hanzheng was thinking about something completely different from Fang Heng.

He looked at Fang Heng and nodded blankly.

It was strange. He had already put away the summoning book in his hand. Why were the summoned creatures still there?

Could it be a permanent summoning? Wasn’t this power a little too terrifying?

“Don’t just stand there, hurry up.”

“It’s coming.”

Following the same pattern, Lin Hanzheng accompanied Fang Heng to lure the other three blood puppets to the forest outside one by one. Then, they relied on the Lickers that couldn’t be killed to eliminate them.

“Unfortunately, the drop rate is only 50%. There are only two high energy evolution crystals in total…”

Fang Heng absorbed the newly obtained high energy evolution crystals into the imprint on the back of his hand.

Looking at Fang Heng’s unsatisfied expression, Lin Hanzheng felt a little terrified.

On second thought, Fang Heng was the boss of the villain organization. This kind of thing was more in line with his persona.

Lin Hanzheng immediately felt relieved.
