Chapter 685: The chase
No matter which direction one came from, they saw that slowly rising shadow at the center of Linhai.
At that moment, all lifeforms were shocked.
Although ones size didnt mean anything in the wheel world, bigger evolved lifeforms were usually harder to deal with.
Apart from some silly ones, most of such lifeforms were strong.
When such big things became gigantic, one could be sure they had a high evolution level and were very powerful!
For example, that tree in his last life was so huge that its crown covered the entire city. Looking at it from afar, one would be shocked by its aura. Those beings had formed their own world, and nine-star evolved wouldnt offend them.
This Death King Tree that came up from underground was the same.
The giant stem had the Life Taking Carrot around it. They grew on the thick branches; those soft branches were its twigs, and the hard ones were its branches.
The Life-Taking Carrot was more like the Death King Trees hair. But to humans, these strands of hair were threatening enough.
Apart from those that grew on the trunk, more of these plants had their roots and could move about on the ground. They were quick and popped up from every corner to kill everything they touched and absorb their energy. The energy would be transmitted back to the main body through roots to speed its evolution.
At the same time, many dried corpses appeared from all around. They moved in unison towards one direction.
The zombie horde that entered from one side was the first to bump into the dried corpses. There was a dried corpse nest there, and they surged out.
The Sword Armor Zombie was the boss of the horde and had met many opponents in the past. It bumped into humans, other zombies, monsters, and other lifeforms.
But it had never met such dried things that looked identical. It could sense that they were different from it, but it couldnt pinpoint what the difference was.
But for the zombie horde, one rule had to be followed.
Zombies either joined the horde to become Sword Armors subordinates or would fight until one side was killed.
As for those who werent the same race There was no other possibility but to fight!
Thus, Sword Armor told them to attack.
What kind of scene was it when six digits of zombies charged? People who hadnt seen it before wouldnt know; those who did At least currently, most of those people are dead.
There were still many dried corpses, over five thousand of them. They would usually be able to sweep Linhai, and no one would dare offend them.
But they met an opponent now.
The dried corpses didnt have much consciousness, and they didnt fear death. But the zombies didnt either.
There were many dried corpses, enough to take over Linhai. But there were more zombies, and they came from outside, so they didnt bother to recognize them as the rulers.
Moreover, compared to the singular fighting style of the dried corpses, the zombies had more variety and were stronger.
Thus, when both groups clashed, the zombie horde only slowed briefly before they drowned the dried corpses.
The battle ended after two minutes without Sword Armor even attacking.
It found an abnormally strong dried corpse and kicked aside one of its subordinates that dried to steal a piece. It tore a piece of its body and shoved it into its mouth.
It chewed before spitting it out. If it still had human consciousness, it would say that it tasted like shit.
This thing had no nutrients for the zombie at all.
Sword Armor and its men, who had spent some time in the wilderness, needed energy, but these things werent providing it.
But Sword Armors hunger made its senses sharper. It raised its head and sniffed. It then flew up into the sky. First, it saw that tree appearing from underground, but it didnt entice it at all. It then pointed in a direction before roaring. After which, the zombie horde dashed towards that direction.
It had found a tempting meal!
Ye Zhongming didnt expect the Death King Tree to spot him so quickly. This made him more anxious to flee this place.
Linhai still belonged to that fellow. Tangling with it here wasnt a wise choice.
Under such a situation, with people still blocking his way, Ye Zhongming naturally wouldnt be polite.
A thought rose in his head, and a small figure dashed out from behind him to punch the survivor, who was stretching his neck and looking at Ye Zhongming.
She was also level five evolved, but the silver zombie was much stronger. A hole appeared on the neck of that five-star evolved.
He screamed. That evolved raised his right hand, and a light blade appeared, which sliced toward the silver zombies head.
But a second figure appeared beside Ye Zhongming, and the puppet smashed that persons knees. That person collapsed to a height similar to the twins. The silver zombie headbutted him, causing his face to cave. The light blade disappeared, and he fell to the ground, twitching intensely.
The silver corpse jumped and bit his neck, sucking large amounts of energy from it.
A five-star evolved was killed like a chicken in front of the twins. The people who were terrified by the Life-Taking Carrot were now silent, and they looked on in disbelief.
Ye Zhongming used his finger. Python God Finger enhanced with Soul Refining Techniques mental attack hit the throat of the other five-star evolved. The finger was only half an inch in, but a hole appeared at the back of his neck. Blood spurted into the crowd, and the warm, salty liquid scattered across their body.
Scram!
Ye Zhongming hollered and led his people out. Those survivors who wanted to threaten them were the ones who turned and fled.
If they fought head-on, Ye Zhongming wouldnt be able to kill a five-star evolved so easily. But these two were standing three meters from him, which was no different from asking to die.
The Life-Taking Carrot got close behind him. After its body appeared on the ground, the Death King Tree also took its first step towards Ye Zhongming.
The chase had officially begun.
