Chapter 876 SSS-level Zombie King
This didn't look like an attack that a giant tree of this level could perform at all, which made Lu Weiyi even more suspicious of the opponent's level. Before the next attack, Qin Jin grabbed him and used the force to lift his body into the air, dodging several attacks from different directions in mid-air. The trajectory of his actions was completely beyond the scope of human cognition, which made Lu Weiyi admire him.
"This is not the banyan tree that is controlled by the wood-related ability," Qin Jin said as he reached out towards a stem that was attacking them. This time he did not dodge.
Lu Weiyi didn't even notice what he did. A section of the stalk broke on both sides, and the middle section was pinched in Qin Jin's hand. After looking at it, he handed it to Lu Weiyi.
Only then did Lu Weiyi realize that this thing was made of countless finger-thick vines twisted together like a twist, with palm-sized leaves on it. Because it was cut off, it gave off a spicy smell, like the pungent smell of chili oil. It was indeed completely different from the banyan tree that Gu Qingji had created before.
So... is there anyone else here?
Lu Weiyi had a bad idea in his mind about being a person who could live with this big tree.
He turned his head to look at Qin Jin, "What kind of supernatural power does the Zombie King have who established the Zombie Kingdom here?"
"...wood type" Qin Jin said in a serious tone.
Of course, this was not something he had discovered in advance, but rather information fed back from the giant energy wolf. The giant energy wolf, which had been setting fires everywhere on the mutant giant tree, was now being entangled by an unknown creature.
The other party looked like a ball of energy, with a head too small to be clearly identified, but there was a circle of kelp-like creature on its back that could dance with the wind. The black "kelp" was like tentacle, constantly attacking the spiritual giant wolf, attempting to completely dissipate the energy of the energy giant wolf by blocking the surroundings.
Not long after it appeared, another energy banyan tree, which was shrunk countless times in size, appeared in the energy giant wolf's field of vision, and attacked the energy body tremblingly and unskillfully.
"Where's your energy body? I'm trapped." Lu Weiyi's skills were not good, and they couldn't use up a lot of energy without the other party knowing. Qin Jin could only take him to dodge as much as possible. Fortunately, zombies were not very sensitive to fatigue. As soon as he asked Lu Weiyi for help, he saw the familiar banyan tree energy body slap the energy wolf with a branch full of energy, and then...
The camera accurately hit the strange "kelp", and the color of the kelp instantly faded.
"..." Qin Jin.
This seems like a bad teammate.
"Found it!" Lu Weiyi's voice sounded, and then the giant golden bird flapped its wings, sprinkling golden spots of light in the night sky, and flew towards the alley next to the mutant giant tree.
It has to be said that compared to his pitch-black spiritual body, the golden phoenix seems to be divine. Just from the appearance, it seems to have interpreted the identities they represent - light and darkness, justice and evil.
Thinking of this, Qin Jin couldn't help but look at the excited Lu Weiyi and sighed at the fickleness of fate. He, such a righteous man, became a zombie, while Lu Weiyi, a man with incomplete values, was the representative of human justice.
Over there, the phoenix had already picked up a figure who was trying to run deeper into the alley at an extremely fast speed. The moment the figure's attack failed and was picked up by the phoenix, a deafening roar echoed through the dark night, and the silence of the night was broken by this roar, and countless responses echoed throughout the entire city.
The plants that originally attacked Qin Jin and Lu Weiyi also attacked the Phoenix, but because it was a physical attack at the level of being able to connect the body, it had no effect on him and was not hurt at all.
Hearing the dense responses, Lu Weiyi even suspected that this zombie had really gathered all the zombies in the city around it. He even went so far as to say that perhaps the so-called zombie kingdom had been successfully built.
Because the Zombie King was picked up by the Phoenix, the giant wolves that had been surrounding the spiritual body immediately rushed towards the Phoenix. Under the attack from both sides, the Phoenix had no choice but to let go of the zombie and started fighting with the two of them.
The mutated animals that Lu Weiyi had seen before did not have energy bodies. He always thought that this was an ability unique to humans. Even though he met Qin Jin later, he was once a human being, so it was nothing strange. But now a banyan tree also had an energy body. Even though it didn't look very smart, it did not affect its combat effectiveness at all.
"I can't hold on for much longer." He has been constantly consuming his superpowers during the day and has not rested yet. In addition, the suppression of his superpowers has already exhausted him and he cannot sustain Phoenix's several actions, especially since there are already many zombies around who have received orders from the Zombie King to attack them.
"Go first," Qin Jin ordered decisively. The two of them retracted their energy bodies at the same time, turned around and ran in the direction they came from.
The zombies behind them poured out from all directions, chasing after them with a clear goal. Previously, they were hidden under the branches and leaves of the mutant giant tree, and the energy of the mutant giant tree served as a shield, so Lu Weiyi didn't notice it for a while. Now, he saw that there were high-level zombies behind them, forming energy spots that filled the entire area.
It makes people feel like they are being chased by zombies throughout the city, and of course... maybe that's true.
Thinking of this, Lu Weiyi felt that they were a bit careless. They used to think that it was not easy to reach the SSS level in a limited area, so they naturally thought that it was the same everywhere. Now it seems that there is always someone better than you.
Running at full speed, most zombies of lower levels were left far behind them, and only the zombie king of the same level as them could keep up with their pace.
The two looked at each other and had a plan in mind. They slowed down at the same time, as if their superpowers were about to run out. They kept a distance from each other, waiting to completely distance themselves from the zombie horde so that they could do a two-on-one and quickly kill him.
However, when they were about to leave the city where they were, the zombie stopped chasing them. Even when Qin Jin turned around to provoke it, the zombie just looked at them coldly, as if it had seen through their trick.
Until the large group of zombies caught up with them, Qin Jin and Lu Weiyi knew that their plan could not be implemented tonight. Their special powers could not withstand the consumption, so they could only leave quickly. The groups of zombies behind them stood in a row beside the zombie king, forming a wall of zombie bodies, expelling anyone who broke into their territory.
After a lot of trouble, when the two returned to their resting place, it was already dawn. Cheng Qi returned with Zhang Qing and a few zombies. The clothes they were wearing were no longer the same as when they left yesterday. They were a little surprised to see the two men in such a miserable state.
"I'm going out to replenish some energy." Lu Weiyi's supernatural power was no longer enough to support him to deal with the attacks from outside. He made up an excuse to Qin Jin and prepared to go to the space to restore his supernatural power.
Qin Jin didn't even bother to ask, he just said, "Tell me what you think first?"
Before Lu Weiyi expressed his opinion, he said directly, "I haven't had close contact with the zombie, so I can't judge how strong I am compared to him, but the mutated banyan tree should have been upgraded not long ago."
"Are you sure?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"Sure, I saw its energy body, it was a banyan tree, but it was obviously... defective, as if it was incomplete" and his brain was indeed not good, "When I first upgraded SSS, because the energy could not come from the crystal core..."
He stopped talking halfway and looked at Lu Weiyi meaningfully, "It has not been completely integrated. Only part of the body has been transformed into energy, which results in my energy body being incomplete."
"A flying wolf's head?" Lu Weiyi had seen the video footage left behind when the base was besieged by zombies in Kyoto. Among them was a wolf's head floating in the air shown by an energy detector.
"..." Qin Jin.
He did not refute, "This situation is very unstable and can be said to be an opportunity for us."
But the choice depends on Lu Weiyi's deployment of the personnel at the Yuebanwan base. Relying on them alone is no match for four hands.
"Let me think about it. You saw them yesterday. Something happened at the base. I'm not sure if they can spare any manpower." Lu Weiyi didn't finish his words.
After returning to the space quietly, Lu Weiyi first informed Zhuang Mingxu of the situation, asked him to make a choice, and then fell asleep.
When he woke up, the depleted supernatural powers in his body had been restored. He stretched himself energetically and looked up. He saw Zhuang Mingxu sitting at a stone table not far away drinking tea. The light fragrance filled the air and was refreshing.
"Are you awake?" Zhuang Mingxu poured him a cup and said, "Try it. This is the mutant tea picked this year. It has a lingering flavor and is worth a try."
Lu Weiyi yawned and looked him up and down.
"You're not hurt." Zhuang Mingxu understood and pulled his hand, placing him beside him. He took out an insulated box from the side and opened it. Inside were two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a bowl of hot soup. He motioned for him to eat first and then talked about what happened to them this time.
"If your information is correct, we should indeed try our best to avoid the possibility of the other party growing up like this. Qin Jin is right about this."
"However, we are the ones who are making the main contribution this time, so we must not compromise on the interests. Moreover, we have never encountered SSS-level mutant plants before, and no one can guarantee how dangerous they are. It is not easy to train each of our high-level psychics, and they cannot be wasted at will."
"So you also support us in taking action?" Lu Weiyi looked up at him.
Zhuang Mingxu nodded and reached out to pick off the rice particles stuck on the corners of his mouth, "We need to find someone with experience to take a look."
As he spoke, he began to write and draw on the list on the table. By the time Lu Weiyi finished his meal, he had already made all the arrangements.
"In terms of personnel, I will arrange the best team at the moment, and as for the specific operations, there will be dedicated people in charge."
"?" Lu Weiyi pointed at himself in surprise. This was the first time that Zhuang Mingxu asked someone else to take charge.
"I don't know much, so I may not be able to help you with combat command in the future. Your partner this time is Qin Jin, that guy..." Zhuang Mingxu laughed twice, "He's also a cunning villain, you can't outwit him. Find a commander who can convince him, so that you can avoid being at a disadvantage."
He already had the best candidate in mind, but it was not convenient to tell Lu Weiyi now. Thinking of that person, Zhuang Mingxu touched his nose and felt that he might be taught a lesson.
Qin Jin was still outside, and Lu Weiyi could not stay in the space for too long. After dinner, Zhuang Mingxu returned to the base to dispatch and assemble the advance team, while Lu Weiyi left the space.
