Chapter 73: Evil Is Stirring
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The attack thod that Zhang Chcngcheng respectfully called Thor’s Hamr was undoubtedly a range attack.
It had strong destructive power and a wide range of damage, but the key was that it could unleash all of Lu Ming’s physical capabilities!
A full-powered strike with three-dinsional power of 170 was terrifying.
With a single strike, not only did it completely defeat Lian Jie, but even Xu Rufang, who was in its embrace, had her limbs blown off.
—And this was with Lian Jie’s protection. Otherwise, with Xu Rufang’s level of power, trying to withstand Thor’s Hamr would have left her in ashes.
Bai Tianyu looked at Lian Jie.
He saw that six of Lian Jie’s eight tentacles had been severed, leaving only two entangled around Xu Rufang. They were relatively intact but droopy, like withered eggplants.
Lian Jie’s body had been hit head-on by Thor, undoubtedly pulverizing it. However, its powerful regenerative ability allowed Lian Jie’s wounds to heal rapidly. In the ti it took for the dust to settle, its body had already returned to its complete form.
Xu Rufang experienced a similar outco.
Although her hands and right leg were severed by Thor’s Hamr, with Lian Jie’s protection, Xu Rufang did not perish. At this mont, her ability was activated, and in just a short mont, she had stopped the bleeding. There were even signs of her severed limbs growing back.
Before the second strike of Thor’s Hamr could co, Lian Jie, who had just recovered slightly, let out a strange cry and quickly retreated with Xu Rufang under the building.
As a result, Lu Ming lost his line of sight.
Even if he could continue to use Thor’s Hamr, with the obstruction of the buildings, the lethality was not enough to deal a fatal blow to Lian Jie!
Bai Tianyu briefly weighed his options and prepared to engage Lian Jie to create an opportunity for Lu Ming.
But then he heard Xu Rufang’s sorrowful cry coming from Lian Jie’s embrace.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Little Jie didn’t do it on purpose. He definitely didn’t intentionally eat people! He’s still a child. I beg you to spare him.”
Bai Tianyu,”….”
In the midst of this speechless mont, the sound of friction rang out.
Lian Jie shuttled quickly, dodging Lu Ming’s line of sight by hiding among the tall buildings as he fled into the distance.
He had to run…
He had no choice but to run!
He was not afraid of Thor’s Hamr. A Level 4 zombie with a powerful recovery ability was enough to ensure Lian Jie’s life. However, just because it could withstand Thor’s Hamr did not an that its mother, Xu Rufang, could withstand it.
It was unknown if Lian Jie was more of a zombie or a human.
But one thing was certain.
His mother really didn’t dote on him for nothing…
Of course, Lu Ming would not let go of such a huge threat.
However, this unknown zombie was really cunning.
It deliberately burrowed into the tall buildings, evading Lu Ming’s line of sight, making it impossible for Lu Ming to aim.
Several iron discuses were thrown, but apart from the first one hitting its target, the rest beca explosive devices, dealing fatal blows to the buildings.
Bai Tianyu did not manage to hold back that zombie.
Soon, the zombie ran out of the safe zone, carrying its ‘hostage,’ and also escaped Lu Ming’s line of fire.
Putting down the iron discus, Lu Ming’s gaze carried a deep concern.
“A new type of zombie, and Its strength is even greater than that of a Tyrant!”
At least the Tyrant could not withstand Lu Ming’s Thor’s Hamr, but this eight-tentacled monster could—it was already evident that there was a difference in strength.
He could not help but worry about the future.
Soon, these worries evolved into a motivation for training.
He asked Li Zitong to increase the height of the observation tower by 10 ters.
Lu Ming vented his worries on the zombies within his field of view.
It was the sa old saying.
For every additional zombie killed now, it was equivalent to eliminating a future tentacle monster.
It also provided an opportunity for skill training and attribute growth.
Truly a win-win situation.
The desire to survive overca the appetite.
Lian Jie fled frantically with Xu Rufang, with no thought of “having another bite.”
At the sa ti, in his digestive system, the genes of Lin Bai which he had just consud were rapidly assimilating into Lian Jie’s body.
By the ti he ran out of Lu Ming’s shooting range, Lin Bai had already been completely digested.
A large amount of sll surged into his olfactory organs.
The heightened sense of sll made the world in Lian Jie’s eyes more colorful and vibrant.
It was only at this mont that Lian Jie had so understanding of his own abilities.
“Devour! I can devour Awakened ones and extract their superpower for my own use!”
In the past, he had only relied on Xu Rufang for his growth. Because of this, the Level 4 Lian Jie had obtained a self-healing ability—he had believed that this was his innate ability.
But now, it suddenly realized that this was not its innate ability, but an ability it had acquired.
Before Lian Jie could think further, a strange scent suddenly filled its olfactory organ.
It was the sll of his own kind.
No, it wasn’t just the scent of its own kind. The pheromones in the scent also carried a ssage of “co find .”
Having just escaped from Lu Ming’s clutches, Lian Jie was still in a daze. At this mont, sensing the pheromones, Lian Jie made a simple decision to go and investigate.
Xu Rufang, who was entangled by the tentacles, asked softly, “Where are we going?”
Lian Jie replied, “I don’t know. Let’s take it one step at a ti.”
A Level 4 zombie was undoubtedly a dominant force at this stage.
Even though he was being relentlessly bombarded by Lu Ming, once he ran out of the safe zone, Lian Jie still had a significant advantage.
His presence alone was enough to deter any nearby zombies from approaching. He swiftly moved by swinging his tentacles and soon arrived at a park to the south of Nanxiang City.
Here was the source of that scent.
He stood at the entrance of the park and waited for a mont. Soon, sounds ca from the park.
The sa sound of tentacles rubbing against each other as it walked!
Soon, another tentacle monster appeared before Lian Jie’s eyes.
With eight tentacles stretching out from behind, the appearance of this person was clearly different from Lian Jie’s—it was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a sharp suit, with ticulously styled hair. If you ignored the eight tentacles, he looked like an insurance salesman.
As their eyes t, the man smiled warmly, “Welco, fellow creature. Let introduce myself. I’m Sima Xiao.”
Lian Jie asked, “Were you the one who attracted here?”
Sima Xiao nodded gently, “Yes.”
“What do you want from ?”
Hearing Lian Jie’s question, Sima Xiao suddenly chuckled, his eyes flashing.
“I’m looking for you to discuss sothing important!”
Lian Jie: “What important matters?”
Without explaining further, Sima Xiao just waved his hand at Lian Jie.
“I can only say that the important matters I speak about concern our common fate!
“If you’re interested, you can co with .
“If you’re not interested, 1 won’t stop you from leaving now.
“It’s all up to you.”
As soon as Sima Xiao finished speaking, Xu Rufang’s voice ca from within Lian Jie’s tentacles. “Son, this person doesn’t look like a good person. Let’s not get involved with him. Let’s leave quickly.”
However, Lian Jie felt that he had grown up…
Or perhaps it was because of his Level 4 strength that that made him feel capable.
He did not care about his mother’s suggestion at all. After a brief thought, Lian Jie said to Sima Xiao, “Lead the way..”
