Chapter 223 Its Abebe is back
The group followed each other as they walked through the snow into the cave.
The floor inside the cave was dripping with water and slippery.
The road was winding and treacherous, making it very difficult to travel.
Ta Xue walked at the front, its head searching around, its little white mustache trembling. Meng Shiwan had no idea how it was searching for the aura of the black cube.
Based on the route taken by the snow-covered figure, Wu Ming deduced, "The underground spring is just ahead."
After climbing a few steps, the view in front of you suddenly opens up.
The group shone their bright headlamps and saw a large expanse of water ahead.
The water is crystal clear, and you can see the milky white stalactites below. However, the further you look into the middle of the pond, the darker it becomes, indicating that the water there is very deep and that the spring must be located below.
The pond is surrounded by wide stone paths and stairs, which tourists used to follow to visit it.
Now, there are many large iron barrels and bottling equipment placed along these roadsides. The water for the various bases is continuously transported out from here.
Unfortunately, the machine has stopped working and the staff have all disappeared.
Above the pond, countless stalactites hang upside down, their sharp points creating a sense of oppression. Water droplets occasionally gather and fall onto the water's surface below, making a soft, rhythmic sound.
"Meow!"
Ta Xue suddenly let out a fierce alarm.
Meng Shiwan looked in the direction of the sound and saw it barking loudly at a wall, its ears perked up, its body lowered, and its fur standing on end.
"Found it, block the entrance and exit."
Meng Shiwan swept through the wind blades and attacked the wall directly.
Other ability users rushed over as well. Several earth-type ability users, following Meng Shiwan's instructions, sealed off the entrance and exit completely.
Now it's their turn to catch a turtle in a jar, except the turtle has now become the zombie king.
Meng Shiwan's wind blade smashed into the stone wall and disappeared instantly without splashing up a single stone; it was an illusion.
Shattering the illusion, the zombie king, dressed in orange overalls, emerged from the crack in the rocks carrying a black cube and fled quickly.
The zombie king was incredibly fast. The instant it emerged from the crevice, it cast an illusion spell again, concealing itself and vanishing in an instant.
The group that rushed over to kill the zombie king were all bewildered after seeing him disappear, and searched around like headless flies.
The Zombie King's illusionary ability allows him to conceal himself, disappearing from everyone's sight at any time, and even launching a sneak attack on them.
Unfortunately, none of these superhumans possess the skill to detect illusions, which puts them at a significant disadvantage.
As for thermal imaging equipment, it goes without saying that, strictly speaking, zombies are dead people, and their body temperature has long since blended into the environment, making it impossible to measure.
"Awoo~"
Ta Xue let out a menacing roar and pounced towards Ye Sangyu.
Ye Sangyu's superpower wasn't very aggressive, so she stayed in a corner, with the other superpowered individuals who came with her protecting her behind them.
The snow-treading action startled them, and they all released defensive skills, protecting them layer by layer.
Before they could even reach the snow, their outermost water wall was inexplicably struck, splashing water everywhere, creating ripples that eventually caused it to collapse and shatter.
"It's the Zombie King, he's there."
The defenses couldn't have collapsed so easily; there's only one possibility: the Zombie King has attacked.
The surrounding ability users all threw their abilities at the broken water wall, but unfortunately, the abilities hit the air and received no response.
At this moment, Ta Xue, who had been rushing towards him, turned around and chased after him in another direction.
The zombie king, invisible to others, could be clearly sensed by Ta Xue.
Meng Shiwan gazed in the direction Ta Xue was chasing, slowly closed her eyes, and foresaw the activation of her supernatural ability.
She saw the hidden zombie king suddenly appear, holding a black cube in one hand and tearing the arm of one of the superhumans with sharp claws in the other. Soon, this superhuman began to show signs of mutation.
Meng Shiwan suddenly opened her eyes. Before the zombie king arrived, she pushed her speed ability to the limit and arrived in front of the ability user. Countless ice spikes condensed and launched a wide-range attack in the direction the zombie king came from.
Just to be on the safe side, she used ice spikes, accompanied by sharp wind blades, to attack along the path she predicted the zombies would appear.
This tactic worked very well. The zombie king, which had been hiding, had nowhere to hide from the large-scale, dense attack and revealed itself.
His body was covered in dense icicles, one of his arms was sliced off by wind blades, and the black cube fell to the ground with a thud.
Hehehe~
The zombie king made a hissing sound from its throat.
Since the zombie king failed to hit the head, he reached out to grab the falling black cube.
To everyone's surprise, Ta Xue reacted quickly, rushed forward, grabbed the black cube with both paws, stood up and ran.
"Stand up and run?" Ye Sangyu, who had been hiding, almost thought she had misread it.
She stared wide-eyed, and sure enough, it stood up and ran.
It held the black cube with both paws, stood upright, walked on its hind legs, and its posture was a bit sneaky. It was even grinning.
He was clearly very happy to have found the black cube.
Its little darling is back, how could it not be happy?
At the same time, the other superhumans saw their opportunity and unleashed their powers upon the zombie king's head.
Regardless of where the zombies were, they launched a wide-range attack.
The zombie king has finally revealed himself; we absolutely cannot let him escape.
The zombie king had just cast an illusion to hide himself and try to escape, only to find that there was nowhere to run and that he was surrounded by deadly attacks from all sides.
This time, let alone killing it, the zombie king was smashed into a pulp by the superpower and was beyond dead.
Seeing the zombie king dead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
"He's dead. That cunning zombie king is finally dead."
"Who just killed the zombie king? Wasn't it me?"
"It's me, isn't it? My lightning-type ability has the widest range."
"How is that possible? A single lightning-type ability couldn't kill the zombie king. It must be my tornado that worked."
Are they fighting over who killed the zombie king? They're fighting over the reward of one hundred vials of power-enhancing fluid.
Ye Sangyu couldn't stand it anymore. She put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Have you no shame? If it weren't for my sister seriously injuring the zombie king, how could you have managed to kill it? Now you don't mention my sister's contribution at all, do you? You only talk about who delivered the final fatal blow."
After being scolded like that, everyone felt guilty and really fell silent.
Given their personalities, if someone insulted them like that normally, they would definitely start arguing.
But now, I can't say a word, that's truly a loss.
If Meng Shiwan hadn't seen through the illusion, and Ye Sangyu hadn't reversed time to save their lives, and if Meng Shiwan hadn't severely injured the zombie king just now, they might have died long ago.
They actually have the nerve to fight for credit now; the greatest credit shouldn't belong to them at all.
