Zombie Evolution Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Ambush Mastery III

The chubby cultivator controlled the lesser Level 4 Zombie. To kill him was an easy task, but in doing so would alert their allies that there were traps.

Zhang Yang was still under the effect of the Invisibility Talisman, so as long as he stood still, then the fatty wouldn't be able to find him. But he received an ominous feeling from the drops w.a.n.g Yao used on the fatty.

The fatty moved slowly, cautious about his surroundings. As he walked past the narrow entrance, he was greeted by the rather wide cavern. The fatty was about to give the rea.s.surance that n.o.body was in the cave, about to signal, he glanced one more time.

The second he took the careful glance at the cave, his eyes s.h.i.+ned with blue l.u.s.ter, directly on Zhang Yang's position, he was about to shout to s.h.i.+ Xiong.

"s.h.i.+- He found me?!" Zhang Yang couldn't let him make even a squeak, he pounced to the fatty at lightning speed, a whole hand pa.s.sing through the fatty's multilayered throat.

That fatty was only a Level 3 Qi Refiner, he being ambushed by the Level 5 Zombie ensured his death. The pierce wound on his throat was flowing a blood river, while the fatty still had his consciousness, he pa.s.sive held his neck to find a gaping hole.

The second Zhang Yang moved, two zombies were already alerted, dragging their feet to Zhang Yang. The other zombie stimulated by the blood of the fatty was on his way there to steal the feast.

When corpse cultivators die with whole bodies, their zombies will eat their owners. Only if they have a whole body though, the situation earlier was much different as they were being burnt alive, the fatty's zombie was milking the blood of his previous owner.

Zhang Yang's next enemy is Zhang Jun's Level 6 Walking Zombie and the other Level 4 Zombie. He growled and chose to lash out on the Level 6 first. Zhang Yang steps forcefully on his dominant leg, springing towards the Level 6. Their power was similar, somewhat equal.

At the same time, the Level 4 behind Zhang Yang clenched on his shoulder and tried to tear a piece off Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang turned around to tag a Zombie Repression Talisman onto the forehead of the zombie, yellow s.h.i.+nes before the zombie became disabled.

Meanwhile, the sudden tug from the Level 4 gave the stronger zombie time to attack, he groped Zhang Yang's arms, tossing him at the cave walls while already beginning to charge, wanting to barrage Zhang Yang with a mountain of fists.

Zhang Yang's resistance to such force was not bad, though he was still thrown far back into the cave. His steps wavered as he got back up and protected himself from the zombie's sharp claws.

While fighting, Zhang Yang became curious on why w.a.n.g Yao's Level 7 Zombie, the strongest of the group, didn't join in to help even when the situation was obvious.

Outside the cave, w.a.n.g Yao was in a state of contradiction, he hesitated in wanting to expose his zombie this easily. But seeing as his s.h.i.+ Di's zombie was tagged with a Zombie Repression Talisman, Zhang Jun interrupts his thoughts:

" Looks like even my Level 6 Zombie is having a hard time right now, s.h.i.+ Xiong, quick! Please help us!" puppets weren't easy to raise, if they get injured, their owners would need to spend time, Yin Qi, and blood to fully heal the undead, completely different from wild zombies.

w.a.n.g Yao glares into the dark entrance: " Try to get your zombie to attract the enemy outside. We don't know if it's a trap and if this opponent is stronger than us all. If we return with dead zombies, how will we explain replacements to the sect?'

w.a.n.g Yao was being very cautious, putting up some false bravado to avoid issuing his zombie like so.

Zhang Jun's nerves began to swell and he begins to form a pool of anxious sweat. Zhang Jun continues to curse, tracking his puppet's movements with their link:

"s.h.i.+ Xiong. I can’t wait any longer, my zombie is in a dogfight with the unknown, I can't get him to move an inch. s.h.i.+ Xiong, it seems from the fight, the enemy is above my Level 6 Walking Zombie. If we use your Level 7, then together, we can take it down!"

w.a.n.g Yao's original plan was to be smart and get the enemy outside, but thinking as his s.h.i.+ Di's zombie was about to be destroyed, he had a change of mind. He bit his lips and threw away his selfish resolve.

"Fine! We'll go in, kill the enemy!"

In the cave, Zhang Yang learned that this Level 6 Walking Zombie was easier to compete against compared to the previous conqueror of the cave, mostly because he has gotten stronger over time. But it will take him a deal of time as he isn't using any talismans.He has been saving the bests of his talismans to deal with the Level 7, his trump cards were full with Level 3 Talismans, though there were plenty, they were limited.

While he was still in a brutal battle with the Level 6, he heard a "Dong Dong Dong" sound echoing from the entrance, he knew that the Level 7 and Level 5 are making their ways into the cave.

His spiritual sense covered the whole cave, he sees the unpleasant sight of the Level 7, with this in mind, he activated all the drawn talismans at the entrance in a confident manner

"Ji!"

The whole cave burst into flames, vegetation that grew on the walls became ashes, and the two zombies at the entrance were caught on fire. The crispy sound of cinders blew out as the freezing Yin Spring calmed the fire.

The Level 7 Zombie was rather immune to this fire, he used Yin Qi to protect his body and then jumped straight out of the fire.

Then Zhang Yang activates more of his talismans traps, chanting some "spells" or lines to activate their effects.

"Ji!"

Ten level 3 Lightning Talismans activate, flashes struck out and snakes of lightning were throwing their fists down into the cave. The sound of static was abundant in the area. The Level 5 got badly injured, falling down like a stick, while the Level 7 was hurt, but not enough to wreck it.

Then, Zhang Yang used the last ten Lightning Talismans that he prepared, the malicious lightning breaks the air between the zombie and the cave. The momentum of the lightning transferred through the Level 7's body, leaving a scorch mark on the floor beneath. The zombie stopped in its tracks from the lightning hammer, completely still like a statue.

E/N – For anybody that is confused about the shape of the cave, think of a Laboratory’s gla.s.sware or “bongs”. The circular s.p.a.ce within the bong is where Zhang Yang lies, and his coffin along with the spring. The opening and narrow part is where the entrance lies out at, a narrow entrance leading to an igloo like cave. The corpse cultivators are on the sides of the cave, right outside the narrow entrance, to the left and right.
