The zombie lord, having missed its first attack, once again concealed itself.
However, the conspicuous death mark on its head acts like a beacon, rendering its stealth ability useless.
However, the opponent moved extremely fast, and even Su Yue had some difficulty catching its trail.
However, Su Yue still keenly noticed the zombie that had launched the sneak attack.
It was quite similar to the "Jorōgumo" we encountered in the library before; it was actually a mutated zombie that looked like a praying mantis.
Although it has reached the lord level, unlike the previous massive armored giant king, its size is similar to Luvia's.
Its arms were transformed into two iconic "red short blades," and its movements were as swift as a red and white lightning bolt.
The pair of short wings hidden on its back give it the ability to fly short distances, making it even more powerful.
【Orchid Mantis King - Zombie Lord】Level: 15 (Lord Level)
Basic attributes: Strength: 130 (+130), Spirit: 50 (+50), Constitution: 130 (+130), Agility: 150 (+150).
Talent: Natural Camouflage: The Orchid Mantis King can remain invisible when not attacking. While invisible, it receives reduced damage and gains additional health regeneration. (Special talent, cannot be looted.)
Violent Aesthetics: After years of hunting, the Orchid Mantis King has honed a set of superb hunting skills. Whenever it launches an attack and successfully hits an enemy, it inflicts fear on the enemy and reduces the enemy's attack damage by 50%.
Skill: Blood Sacrifice: The Orchid Mantis King uses its own blood as a sacrifice to weave a crimson barrier. Within this barrier, all enemies are silenced and suffer continuous damage.
Phantom Army: Summons three illusions of the Orchid Mantis King. These illusions inherit certain attributes and skills but suffer additional damage. Removing any negative status effects upon activation removes this skill.
Ghostly Descent: The strongest move. Forms a pact with a ghost, increasing the Orchid Mantis King's maximum health by 50% and its health regeneration speed. Attacks will ignore 50% of armor and deal splash damage.
Mantises are natural masters of disguise and natural hunters.
The Orchid Mantis King before them was a stealthy, assassin-type zombie lord.
Not only do they possess excellent survivability and agility, but they also have powerful burst and sustained combat capabilities.
Su Yue closed his eyes, sensing the Mantis King's swift movements around him, its chilling killing intent following him like a shadow.
Under the cover of night, the Mantis King's attributes seemed to be enhanced, surpassing Su Yue's by a significant margin.
If this had happened before, Su Yue would definitely have avoided confronting the Mantis King in the dark.
Choosing to return both sides to the same starting line after dawn would be the wise move.
However, when the Mantis King's claws pierced Luvia, Su Yue's anger was instantly ignited.
Although this experience did not have a significant impact on him personally, it was the first time he had suffered a loss since his rebirth, and he would never tolerate it!
In the darkness, the Mantis King gently licked its short blade, its zombified mouth extending all the way to its ears, making it look exceptionally ferocious.
Under its cold and merciless gaze, the man before him seemed to have given up resisting, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
There's an old saying: The mantis stalks the cicada.
Their speed is even faster than the blink of an eye for humans.
From launching the attack to capturing the target, the entire process took less than 0.05 seconds.
In the quiet and dark night, the Mantis King moved with the speed of lightning, instantly piercing the silent night sky.
Assassination-type zombies have one characteristic: they love to ambush and like to backstab.
Given the chance, they will not hesitate to backstab.
If there is no opportunity, create one and launch a backstabbing attack.
Just as the Mantis King's brow unfurrowed and its eyes gleamed, it quietly approached Su Yue from behind.
However, just as it made its move, Su Yue suddenly opened his eyes.
Silently!
As soon as the afterimage flashed by, Su Yue dodged the Mantis King's fatal attack.
The Mantis King's short blade pierced deeply into the concrete ground!
If you were to be stabbed by it, you would either die or be seriously injured; the consequences would be unimaginable!
If the first attack misses, the Mantis King will disappear again after a few seconds, looking for the next opportunity to ambush and backstab.
But now, it's Su Yue's turn!
However, he did not rush to attack the Mantis King.
He knew that the Mantis King was far more agile than himself, and that dodging its attacks would be a piece of cake.
All we need to do is lock it up tightly, making it unavoidable, isn't that enough?
Summoning of the Dead!
Behind the Orchid Mantis King, the corpse of an elite zombie moved in response to the sound.
Its eyes instantly turned crimson, and its entire body was enveloped in a black and red aura, entering an invincible state.
The orchid mantis king was clearly unaware of all this, blindly trusting its talent for "natural camouflage".
They mistakenly believed that as long as they did not launch an attack, they could remain hidden forever.
But what it didn't know was that the death mark on its head had already revealed all its whereabouts!
Suddenly, an elite zombie stretched out its withered arm and grabbed the Mantis King's slender leg.
Immediately afterwards, the zombie used the steel-like strength of its limbs to firmly lock the Mantis King's body in place.
Under the effect of the innate "all-seeing eye," the Mantis King's neck weakness was completely exposed.
This move, "Love Stronger Than Gold, Seven-Day Lock," foreshadows that for the next 60 seconds, the Mantis King will be unable to move and will be at Su Yue's mercy!
