Just as Ye Lei was preparing to find a way to improve his favorability, the Corpse King Ape also sensed that a human wanted to control it, and it would never agree to that!
In its eyes, these weak humans were utterly insignificant and easily defeated. How could it possibly take them seriously? After all, it was the Corpse King! A powerful overlord, how could it allow others to manipulate it at will?
Sure enough, the Corpse King Ape grabbed Ye Lei's body with its other hand, and with its immense strength, it lifted Ye Lei into the air.
This action undoubtedly demonstrated its attitude: "Hmph, since you won't let me go, then I'll take you with me!"
At this moment, Ye Lei, who was being held in mid-air, also felt the power of the Corpse King Ape. He originally thought he could easily control this giant beast, but reality gave him a harsh lesson.
However, Ye Lei was not the kind of person to give up easily. He quickly let go, then flipped over and straddled the Corpse King Ape's neck.
Although the gorilla looked very fierce, Ye Lei believed that as long as he could find the right method, he would definitely be able to tame it. Now, all he needed to do was stay calm and look for an opportunity.
He stretched out his right hand and waved it gently in the air, and the lightsaber that emitted a blue light and carried a trace of coldness appeared in his hand.
"Waaah!"
The Corpse King Ape seemed to sense the extraordinary nature of the lightsaber, letting out a low roar as fear and unease flickered in its eyes.
It tried to turn and run away, but found it was too late.
"Trying to run? No way!"
Ye Lei snorted coldly, raised the lightsaber in his hand, aimed it at the zombie king gorilla's arm, and stabbed it down hard.
He knew very well that the monster in front of him was extremely powerful, and if he didn't first cripple its thick, strong arms, he would have a hard time completely subduing it.
Pfft!
The incredibly sharp lightsaber easily pierced the tough skin of the Corpse King Ape and embedded itself deep into its muscles.
"Awoo..."
A sharp pain shot through him, and the Corpse King Ape couldn't help but tilt its head back and roar, letting out a painful howl.
At the same time, a large amount of yellow liquid gushed out from the wound, splashing all over Ye Lei.
However, he didn't care about any of that. While the Corpse King Ape was in unbearable pain and had no time to pay attention to anything else, he grabbed the fur on its back with his left hand to prevent himself from falling off.
At the same time, the system's voice echoed in my mind:
Zombie affinity increased to 50%.
It seems the Zombie King Ape also sensed that this human was extraordinary, and a sense of fear arose in its heart.
"Since that's the case, then I'll cripple your other arm!"
Without hesitation, Ye Lei raised his lightsaber and stabbed the other arm of the Corpse King Ape. Two streams of yellow fluid gushed out, rendering the arms that the Corpse King Ape relied on for survival useless, leaving them hanging limply.
Seeing that the Corpse King Ape had lost its ability to attack, Ye Lei jumped off its neck and stood in front of it. The Corpse King Ape originally wanted to attack, but the intense pain made it unable to lift its arms.
Its gaze toward Ye Lei had changed from initial hatred and ferocity to one of admiration and respect. It realized that this was the master it had been searching for.
Looking at the Corpse King Ape's pained expression, Ye Lei felt no pity whatsoever. He coldly said, "Do you know why I crippled you? Because you dared to challenge my authority. This is your fate. However, if you are willing to become one of my fierce generals, I can consider giving you a chance."
The Corpse King Ape seemed to understand Ye Lei's words. A hint of hesitation flashed in its eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. It lowered its head, indicating its submission to Ye Lei.
The system's voice echoed in Ye Lei's mind again:
Zombie affinity increased to 100%
Without hesitation, Ye Lei focused his mind and began to control the Corpse King Ape once again.
Soon, the system's voice echoed in his mind.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to a zombie.]
After the system notification, the Corpse King Ape actually nodded, looked at Ye Lei, and waited for him to give him orders.
[Please name the zombie for easier control.]
Since you have the superpower of invisibility, let's call you the Invisible Ape King!
[Zombie Name Successfully Acquired: Hidden Ape King]
As if it understood, the Hidden Ape King let out a long roar towards the sky.
"Alright, come out now, you're safe!"
Ye Lei shouted loudly into the villa.
"Are you really alright?"
Zhao Meili pulled Xiuxiu along as they cautiously walked out of the villa.
"Of course it's fine, look how obedient it is!"
Ye Lei patted the Hidden Ape King and said with a smile.
"Brother Lei, you're amazing! You can actually make it obey you!"
Zhao Meili had been following Ye Lei for so long, but this was the first time she had ever seen Ye Lei control zombies.
"Not bad, another strong general has been added!"
Ye Lei had already lost count of how many times he had successfully controlled the zombies.
"Yay, yay! Brother is so amazing! This big guy is really powerful. Xiuxiu has no way to deal with it."
Xiuxiu danced with joy.
"By the way, Meili, do you know how to bandage?"
Ye Lei pointed to the Hidden Ape King's arms, which were still oozing yellow fluid, and asked.
"Oh, I know a little bit of the basics, but it might not be that good."
Zhao Meili was, after all, just an art teacher.
"Oh, it's alright. Just make sure it stops flowing. I'll have a plan when we get back!"
Ye Lei was thinking about returning to the shelter. With Xiuyan's healing magic, this minor injury was nothing.
"But there's no gauze for bandaging!"
Zhao Meili said helplessly.
"Look what this is?"
Ye Lei took out gauze and disinfectant from his spatial storage, but he didn't need the cotton balls.
"Wow! Okay, I'll handle this!"
Zhao Meili walked up to the Hidden Ape King with the gauze. The big guy seemed to understand her intention and actually sat down on his own, as if he knew that she was there to bandage his wounds.
This action surprised Zhao Meili, but she also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, bandaging the wounds of such a large animal was not an easy task, and it would have been even more difficult if the Hidden Ape King had not cooperated.
Watching Zhao Meili carefully bandage the wounds of the Hidden Ape King, Ye Lei realized that he had been exhausted for half a day. He reached into his spatial dimension, took out a bottle of mineral water, and then drank it in large gulps.
After the fierce battle, they were all exhausted, while the undead skeleton ran to the nearby pool to find water to drink.
Even Xiuxiu and Honghaier were still shaken. They stared at the huge creature in front of them and discussed the thrilling battle they had just fought.
They were well aware of the hardship and danger of this battle, and it was only through their concerted efforts and unity that they finally defeated the powerful Hidden Ape King.
