Chapter 107 Mark Evolution
Zombies mutated.
The terrifying aura swept across the entire lake island.
The traps left by the cultists a hundred years ago to prevent the forest spirit from escaping the seal were extremely vicious.
Looking at the ferocious dragon head, Yu Ke's forehead was covered with cold sweat and his back was cold.
There was no need to think about a head-on confrontation. He could only find a way to destroy the last chain and let the forest spirit that had escaped deal with this monster.
Only by destroying the formation that accumulated the dirty blood on the lake island can this zombie be completely eliminated.
Otherwise, all efforts would be in vain.
Picking up the black thorn longbow and retreating to the surface of the deep pool, Yu Ke used the same trick again. Several streams of water rushed out and entangled around the dragon-headed zombie, trying to buy enough time for the forest spirit to gather natural energy again in this way.
However, before the water flow approached, the dragon-headed zombie suddenly opened its mouth and roared wildly.
The sound waves wrapped in dirty blood shattered the water flow.
The Shadow Moon Leopard seized the opportunity to launch another surprise attack. It seemed to understand that it was extremely difficult to kill this zombie. Seeing Yu Ke and Sen Ling's cooperation nearby, it changed its target to delay the action of the Dragon Head Zombie.
It rushed out from the shadows, and its sharp claws went straight to the Dragon Head Zombie's calf. Sparks burst out when they crossed. It found that the defensive ability of the scales on the surface of the Dragon Head Zombie after the mutation was extremely exaggerated, so it had to settle for the second best and wanted to use its own momentum to knock it away.
The whole Shadow Moon Leopard sacrificed itself to hit the Dragon Head Zombie. The momentum was really strong, forcing the latter to slide a few meters, plowing a gully under its feet, and using its claws and teeth to break the defense of the Dragon Head Zombie to cause more damage.
Before the Shadow Moon Leopard could take advantage of the situation to achieve more results, the Dragon Head Zombie grabbed its neck with its backhand and threw it to the ground. The dragon claws attached to the scales opened left and right, cutting open the Shadow Moon Leopard's skin and flesh, bringing up a lot of blood.
Whether it is strength or defense, they are not on the same level!
Fortunately, Shadow Moon Leopard's self-sacrificing action successfully bought a few seconds, but put himself in danger.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Two arrows flew over and hit the raised right claw of the dragon-headed zombie.
Yu Ke would not sit idly by and watch the Shadow Moon Leopard, who had fought side by side with him, being killed. His action once again aroused the anger of the dragon-headed zombie, who abandoned the Shadow Moon Leopard and attacked him instead.
The bowstring vibrated, and various special arrows were fired in succession.
The electric arrows had been used up, and the dragon-headed zombie's scale armor covering its entire body had too exaggerated defense. Yu Ke half-closed his eyes, locked the dragon-headed zombie's eye sockets, and raised his hand to fire two explosive arrows in succession.
Boom! Boom!
The arrows successfully hit and exploded one after another.
Before Yu Ke had time to check the effect, the dragon-headed zombie rushed out of the smoke.
Even though his eyeball was shattered and two dark holes were blown out of his eye socket, he didn't care at all and vowed to crush the former completely.
The Shadow Moon Leopard had been severely injured before and it was probably difficult for him to fight again in a short time. Yu Ke had to choose to retreat and keep a distance, hoping that the deep pool around the lake island could help him delay the dragon-headed zombie and get a chance to launch the final attack.
The good news is that the dragon-headed zombie really can't walk on water like Yu Ke. Its huge body will sink to the bottom the moment it steps into the deep pool. The bad news is that this guy has no intention of fighting Yu Ke on the water.
Rushing to the edge of the lake island, the dragon-headed zombie just waved his hand, and the chain behind him flew out, carrying its body and extending it to the water surface, avoiding falling into the water while continuing to attack Yu Ke.
"Sen Ling, how long will it take?"
Yu Ke bent his bow and put his arrow, his eyes wandering between the dragon-headed zombie and the statue under the giant tree, and asked in a deep voice.
Yu Ke couldn't get past the dragon-headed zombie and approach the last chain that bound the statue in his current state.
He could only choose to find another way and find a way to find the fleeting opportunity from the impending crisis.
"Ten seconds!"
Relying on the delay of the Shadow Moon Leopard, Forest Spirit successfully gathered some natural energy in this space filled with dirty blood.
Ten seconds, it doesn't sound long.
But in a high-intensity battle, ten seconds are enough to decide the outcome of the battle.
Without the Shadow Moon Leopard to help delay time, Yu Ke had no way to avoid it. His movement speed was not as fast as the dragon-headed zombie stepping on the chain, so he could only grit his teeth and face it head-on to buy the last ten seconds for Forest Spirit.
Nine seconds!
Yu Ke threw away the longbow in his hand, stepped on the waves, and controlled the water to rush towards the dragon-headed zombie to try to intercept it, but was easily pierced by the blood brought by the latter's claws, and then a charge approached Yu Ke.
Seven seconds!
The claws wrapped in dirty blood came whistling. Yu Ke did not use the Leviathan Axe that was still accumulating energy. He barely dodged with the super perception enhanced by the analytical calculation characteristics. He kicked the dragon-headed zombie's knees and punched its elbows with both fists. The frosty air attached to it, trying to freeze its joints.
Yu Ke was fully focused. Both his on-the-spot reaction and combat skills reached an unprecedented level, but he was facing a terrifying zombie that had been sleeping underground in the lake island for a hundred years and had been blessed by many parties.
The attack failed. No matter how hard Yu Ke tried to dodge, he was still hit by the dragon claw on his left shoulder. His flesh and blood collapsed and he flew out.
Five seconds!
Yu Ke did not stay on the water surface, but took advantage of the momentum of the fall to dive into the deep pool and continue to distance himself.
The dragon-headed zombie did not follow him into the water, but the chains under his feet chased him relentlessly, surrounding him from all directions. These chains engraved with blood curses were obviously no longer ordinary things, and they could continue to extend as long as the energy was not exhausted.
Three seconds!
Calculating the time in his mind, seeing that the chains were about to touch him, Yu Ke rode the waves and broke through the water, regardless of the dragon-headed zombie not far away, grabbed the Leviathan Axe, and locked his sight on the last chain that bound the Forest Spirit Statue.
No need for extra nonsense, the Forest Spirit in the mark on his right hand, along with the natural energy that had been condensed with great difficulty, attached to it.
Spinning on the spot, he controlled the Leviathan Axe with his mind, calculated the route in his mind, and then swung it out with all his strength, causing it to draw an arc above a deep pool and head straight for the location of the Forest Spirit Statue.
One second!
Yu Ke, who had blocked all the attacks, turned around hastily.
The dragon-headed zombie's attack was imminent, with metallic scales and dirty blood wrapped around the dragon's claws.
Yu Ke raised his arms and called for waves to act as a barrier.
The next second, he felt like he was hit by a high-speed car. He felt a sharp pain in his arms and chest. He didn't have time to react. He flew backwards and hit the rock wall in the distance across a distance of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, creating a huge pit.
When the smoke and dust caused by the shock gradually dissipated, Yu Ke was already in a mess in the pit.
His arms were tilted and drooped by his side. The chest armor of the Abyssal Whale combat uniform was completely shattered. Yu Ke was still vomiting blood from his mouth. His injuries were obviously very serious.
With great effort, Yu Ke, who was limp and powerless, saw the dragon-headed zombie that had already crossed the deep pool and landed in front of him. His sight quickly passed him and looked towards the center of the island in the middle of the lake.
The dragon-headed zombie jumped in front of Yu Ke, and its dark eye sockets seemed to be inhabited by the resentful souls of hundreds of years ago. It stared at the latter, silently showing off its victory, and raised its dragon claws, ready to end the life of the human in front of it.
"Heh"
Yu Ke grinned and snorted coldly, without any fear on his face.
The dragon claws reached forward with dirty blood, and went straight for Yu Ke's head, but just when it was about to succeed, the blood-covered forest spirit mark on the latter's right arm suddenly burst into a dazzling green light.
In an instant, the dark underground palace was shrouded in this green light full of vitality.
The roots of plants broke out of the rock wall beside Yu Ke, and in just a few seconds, vines and branches grew, which directly wrapped around the arms of the dragon-headed zombie, preventing it from continuing to attack Yu Ke.
Whoosh!
The dragon-headed zombie, sensing the change in the environment, roared and tore off the vines, but unfortunately its destruction was far less than the speed of vegetation growth.
Dozens or even hundreds of dark green vines fell from the tree canopy above its head, tying the dragon-headed zombie up like a dumpling. Its overwhelming power lost its meaning at this moment, and there were weeds growing at an astonishing speed under its feet, sowing grass seeds into the gaps between its scales.
The dirty blood was washed away in the process of the weeds growing.
The dragon scales that seemed invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, were also stretched open by the tender green grass leaves, revealing the atrophied skin and flesh underneath that gradually turned gray and black due to the loss of blood.
There is no doubt that the decline of the dragon-headed zombie has entered the final countdown.
The will of the forest spirit, which had been silent for a hundred years, finally broke through the blockade and returned to this world.
The vitality that emerged from this was definitely not something that a zombie could suppress!
The vines dragged the dragon-headed zombie that struggled in vain back to the island in the middle of the lake, while Yu Ke, who was still lying in the pit on the rock wall, was bathed in the vitality of nature.
Not only were the injuries on his arms and chest repaired, but he could also feel that the vitality of nature was transforming his body at a deeper level, but it was difficult to detect in a short period of time.
The changes in the diamond mark were particularly clear, and more delicate branches and leaves began to emerge at its edges.
The awakening of the forest spirit has gone a step further than before, and the mark will naturally be strengthened accordingly.
This is the reward that Yu Ke deserves!
After resting for about two minutes, Yu Ke stood up. He was seriously injured and could not recover immediately. It would take time.
Fortunately, his legs were still normal and he had no problem walking.
He looked up at the island in the middle of the lake, which was full of vitality and shrouded in fluorescent green light.
The Leviathan Axe lay quietly on the ground. The forest spirit statue not far away had already gotten rid of all its restraints. The chains filled with filth dissipated in the light. Although the scriptures on the statue's trunk and limbs had not faded, the head had returned to normal.
The cloak woven from the slender branches of the giant tree was draped over the statue, covering up the traces that had not yet recovered.
The dragon-headed zombie was dragged back to the island in the middle of the lake by the vines, hanging in the air like the cultists who were regarded as the core of the illusion array.
This monster, which had previously beaten Yu Ke and Shadow Moon Leopard to a pulp, was like encountering a natural enemy when facing the awakened forest spirit, and could not make any effective resistance.
As the dark energy in the body was forcibly extracted by the giant tree vines, the zombie's huge body began to shrink, and the ferocious dragon head turned back into the face of an old man with exhausted energy.
At this moment, Yu Ke stepped onto the island in the middle of the lake again. He glanced at the Shadow Moon Leopard that was shaking and getting up, and noticed that the blood lotus on the island had withered completely, replaced by a large area of lush green grass.
His eyes fell on the dragon-headed zombie that was about to disappear completely. Yu Ke suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked at the Senling statue and said,
"Can I get rid of it?"
Yu Ke had personally experienced the terrifying strength of this guy.
It is obvious that he must be a special individual recognized by the trophy characteristics.
You must know that this operation has limited professional experience due to the full help of Senling and Shadow Moon Leopard. The dragon-headed zombie in front of him is likely to bring Yu Ke the biggest gain of this trip. How could he miss such a great opportunity?
Senling naturally had no objection to Yu Ke's request.
After all, the former almost lost his life to help it escape, so there was no problem in meeting this small request.
A fluorescent green light flashed between the vines, and the dragon-headed zombie was immediately lowered in front of Yu Ke. Except for the skull and neck, the rest of the body was still tightly wrapped.
The Leviathan Axe was rolled up by the vines and sent to Yu Ke. The axe blade had already been attached with natural energy.
Yu Ke glanced at the completely destroyed black coffin next to him, and his eyes paused on the dragon mask.
He walked towards the dragon-headed zombie.
Now it was time for the victor to take the spoils.
