Chapter 508: Slaying the Giant Zombie_2
At a certain moment, Wang Tao thrust his spear downward, and the Cursed Kill finally appeared.
[-2394]
[Curse: Slaying]
"At last, Slaying has shown up!"
Wang Tao didn't know how many times he had attacked the Giant Zombie, various curse statuses had emerged, including some he had never seen before, but not Slaying.
Wang Tao had even thought his luck wasn't good today, fortunately, Lady Luck was on his side.
The Giant Zombie had five hundred thousand HP, and 20% from Slaying would be a hundred thousand HP!
And now the Giant Zombie still had 220,000 HP left, which meant Wang Tao and Xiao Jin just needed to whittle it down by another 120,000 HP!
The premise was to do it within three minutes.
And for Wang Tao... it wasn't difficult.
"It's nearly dead, let's put some extra effort into it!"
Wang Tao briefly communicated with the Golden Eagle, who stopped holding back and exerted full force. Wang Tao also took out some Enhancement Potions and injected himself. At the same time, he stopped deliberately conserving Awakening Energy, shooting High-Temperature Rays on the Giant Zombie's forehead like it cost him nothing.
Roar—
The Giant Zombie had a foreboding feeling and clumsily patted its head before turning tail to run.
"Thinking of running?"
Wang Tao had just leaped from its head and landed back on the Golden Eagle.
His eyes emitted two Red High-Temperature Rays, firmly locking on the Giant Zombie.
Suddenly, the Giant Zombie's body stiffened.
[-3238]
[-99763]
[0/500000]
Boom—
The Giant Zombie's HP hit zero, and it collapsed with a thunderous fall.
"Phew— Finally dead!"
This was Wang Tao's third time facing up against a Giant Zombie head-on, but the previous two he killed were weak, mere "juvenile giants" in Wang Tao's eyes. This one, however, was a genuine "adult giant," and a strong one at that.
Defeating such a Giant Zombie gave him a powerful sense of accomplishment.
Of course, even though he faced it head-on, he still used a lot of clever tactics. Most importantly, he exploited the Giant Zombie's slow wits, defeating it with intelligence.
Although the Giant Zombie's strength was formidable, Wang Tao felt it wasn't as smart as a Night Demon.
But naturally, this was good news—if it were too clever, humans would really struggle to survive...
"Let's go down!"
The Golden Eagle carried Wang Tao down.
As he looked at the body that resembled a collapsed building, Wang Tao felt a bit sentimental:
"It's truly huge. When will you grow this big?"
Both were Level 5 Lords, but in terms of sheer strength, the Golden Eagle was not as strong as the Giant Zombie.
This was obviously related to size, like the various zombies Wang Tao encountered before; at the same level and with the same HP, even without a Giant Awakening, the larger ones were more formidable than the smaller ones. Not to mention, it possessed Giant Awakening...
If the Golden Eagle could grow that big, perhaps it would be just as strong?
"Chirp—"
Upon hearing Wang Tao's words, the Golden Eagle chirped softly.
"Hm? You're saying you probably can't grow as large as it? Unless you turned into a Zombie Beast?"
Wang Tao was slightly surprised to hear the Golden Eagle's response.
The Golden Eagle vaguely sensed that its size could grow, but even if its strength grew to match the Giant Zombie's, it most likely wouldn't reach the size of the Giant Zombie unless its strength far exceeded that of the Giant Zombie...
It thought this was related to the virus inside the zombies, which made such Giant Zombies larger. Meanwhile, its own body, free of even a trace of impurity, was as pristine as Wang Tao's...
Wang Tao couldn't verify the accuracy of the Golden Eagle's senses, but he guessed they were correct, as many animals possessed incredible Perception abilities. It was reasonable for the Golden Eagle to sense these things.
"Let's forget about it, your size is pretty good as it is; any bigger and you'd have nowhere to live."
Wang Tao smiled as he stroked the Golden Eagle's feathers.
"Chirp~"
The Golden Eagle sounded a happy chirp; it certainly didn't want to become a Zombie Beast.
After the Golden Eagle landed on the Giant Zombie's head, Wang Tao jumped straight down.
The Giant Zombie's head had a big hole, and the spoils were all there. A total of 6 items and 5 Loot Packs!
Seeing so much stuff, Wang Tao grinned broadly, not having exerted such effort in vain.
[Obtained: "Fifth Order Crystal Core - Promotion x1"]
[Obtained: Awakening Energy Pearl x1]
[Obtained: Awakening Key x1]
[Obtained: Giant's Eye x2]
[Obtained: Giant's Heart x1]
[Obtained: Blood Bead x1]
An Orange Ascension Crystal Core, an Awakening Energy Pearl, an Awakening Key, two types of crafting materials, and Wang Tao's favorite thing—a Blood Bead!
[Blood Bead: Randomly increases a certain HP limit]
Wang Tao had used a Blood Bead twice before; the first time, it increased his HP limit by 30,000, and the second by 20,000.
Wang Tao had also obtained many items that increased HP limits, but those had limitations, becoming ineffective after a certain number. This Blood Bead, however, didn't show a limit in its description! That's what made the Blood Bead so valuable.
As for the random increase in HP limit, Wang Tao didn't have high expectations—as long as it increased, he wouldn't complain.
Wang Tao immediately used the Blood Bead.
Moments later, Wang Tao felt his physical condition had strengthened again, and he checked his Attributes.
[260000/260000]
260,000 HP!
His HP was just at 210,000, which meant... this time, the Blood Bead added 50,000 HP!
"Sss! A 50,000 HP increase!"
Wang Tao's eyes gleamed; this was exhilarating!
He just wondered if the large amount of HP added by this Blood Bead was related to the Giant Zombie's Level. After all, the Blood Beads he used before were from Fourth-Order Giant Zombies...
