Chapter 508: Slaying the Giant Zombie
Wang Tao hadn't expected that the Giant Zombie could slap off over twenty thousand HP of its own blood... not very smart.
Luckily, Wang Tao was fast enough to jump onto the top of the Giant Zombie's head beforehand, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
He held the Flame Spear in his hand, stabbing down fiercely.
Bang!
Wang Tao felt like he had stabbed into a steel plate.
[-2318]
[Curse: Blindness]
"So hard!"
Seeing the damage number of over two thousand, Wang Tao couldn't help but sigh.
The attack had triggered the Curse: Blindness, and the Giant Zombie was instantly blinded.
"Roar!"
The Giant Zombie roared in anger but showed no panic, completely unlike the Golden Eagle who had been affected by the Curse: Blindness before.
For zombies, blindness wasn't a big problem. Most zombies had poor eyesight to begin with and mainly relied on smell and sound to identify things. They were completely different from visually-dependent mutant beasts like the Golden Eagle.
Of course, it wasn't completely without effect. For instance, the Giant Zombie was now unable to defend against the sneak attacks from the Golden Eagle, as its flight speed was too fast to react to by sound alone.
But in doing so... the Giant Zombie redirected all its attention to Wang Tao!
Wang Tao seemed to sense something and stopped attacking, suddenly jumping down from the top of the Giant Zombie's head.
Bang!
At the moment he jumped down, two huge palms landed at the spot where he had just been standing.
[-10293]
[-11734]
The attack launched by the Giant Zombie against Wang Tao hit itself on the head again, costing it another twenty thousand HP.
Meanwhile, as Wang Tao jumped down from the Giant Zombie's head, he instantly deactivated the Starfire Prairie Reload, and the Golden Eagle caught him precisely.
"Chirp~"
"Whew—well done!"
Wang Tao grabbed the feathers of the Golden Eagle, feeling his heartbeat quickened a bit.
After all, falling from a hundred meters high... could have resulted in "bits and pieces" everywhere.
The Golden Eagle carrying Wang Tao flew to the top of the Giant Zombie's head, and as they arrived, the Giant Zombie had already withdrawn its hands, and Wang Tao landed on its head again.
Roar—
The Giant Zombie roared even louder in anger. It hated having something standing on its head, especially something that smelled like food.
The Giant Zombie repeated its old trick, swinging its massive palm toward its own head.
"Doesn't seem very smart..."
Wang Tao thought to himself, but this time he didn't dodge. Instead, he activated Starfire Prairie and attacked the Giant Zombie.
At the same time, the Golden Eagle dove again, directly targeting the eyes of the Giant Zombie.
Though temporarily blinded, the Giant Zombie's head was hard and had high defense. The area around the eye sockets was slightly less so, prompting Wang Tao to have the Golden Eagle focus its attack there.
The Golden Eagle's attack was fast, precise, and ruthless. Plus, with the Giant Zombie temporarily blinded, the eagle's claws directly pierced one of the Giant Zombie's eye sockets.
Squelch!
[-32839]
The damage over thirty thousand wasn't too high, but it made the Giant Zombie stagger once again.
Though the Giant Zombie steadied itself like a Weeble-Wobble, its attack aimed at Wang Tao was thwarted.
Wang Tao's Flame Spear stuck in the Giant Zombie's head. Though not too deeply, it successfully avoided being thrown off.
Sizzle—
At the same time, Wang Tao didn't forget to use [Scorching Eyes] on the Giant Zombie, not missing any opportunity to attack.
Roar—
The Giant Zombie roared louder this time, but to Wang Tao, it was just impotent rage.
This time it ignored Wang Tao and swung its arms trying to catch the Golden Eagle.
But the Golden Eagle was smart and, backed by Wang Tao's strategy, made a successful hit and retreated immediately without any hesitation. The Giant Zombie's attack missed again.
Taking advantage of this, Wang Tao attacked furiously.
Although the Giant Zombie's defensive power was abnormally high, reducing Wang Tao's single attack damage, Wang Tao's attack speed and variety compensated for it! In just these brief moments, Wang Tao inflicted massive damage on the Giant Zombie!
Roar!
The Giant Zombie was forced to switch its target again.
But faced with Wang Tao, who was getting more adept at fighting, its attack missed again—it slapped itself fiercely while Wang Tao had already landed on the Golden Eagle.
Then, as before, the Golden Eagle took off again.
As they flew over the Giant Zombie's head, Wang Tao jumped directly onto it and the Golden Eagle continued upward.
When the Giant Zombie swung its arms to attack Wang Tao again, the Golden Eagle had reached the ideal height then dove again, targeting the Giant Zombie's other eye.
The result was similar to before. With a squelch, the Giant Zombie's other eye was gouged by the Golden Eagle, causing it to lose balance. Naturally, its attack on Wang Tao missed again.
"Good job!"
Wang Tao felt that his cooperation with Xiao Jin was becoming more in sync.
Having adapted to the Giant Zombie's fighting style, the subsequent battle became much simpler.
Each time, Golden Eagle would first draw the Giant Zombie's attention, allowing Wang Tao to attack. When the Giant Zombie ignored Golden Eagle and only aimed to eliminate Wang Tao, the Golden Eagle would dive, making the Giant Zombie unsteady and unable to attack Wang Tao. If Golden Eagle didn't have the time to dive, Wang Tao would simply jump down from the Giant Zombie's head, and the Golden Eagle would catch him securely. Then they would take off, repeating the cycle...
In this synchronized teamwork, although the Giant Zombie had five hundred thousand HP, it kept losing it rapidly.
