Perhaps tonight, they would find the Mutated Zombie that had exiled Tidamia.
This thought made Fang Zhou's Soul Fire tremble slightly. Standing atop a towering hill, he raised his skull and gazed toward the southeast. Although the surrounding Undead Energy was denser than ever, he found no other obvious signs.
Fang Zhou shook his skull, calming his somewhat excited emotions. As usual, he divided the more than forty Skeleton Servants into over ten teams to conduct a grid search toward the southeast.
He had only one thought in mind. Find the Mutated Zombie and the White Bone Stone Crystal Cluster it occupies.
As the Skeleton Teams approached the southeast, the surrounding environment grew more perilous. Huge cracks would occasionally appear in the ground, like wounds on the earth, emitting waves of a putrid stench.
According to Tidamia's memories, although the Beheading Giant Sword Skeleton Warrior had lost its encounter with the Mutated Zombie, it had still been able to hold its own for a time. Tidamia recalled the battle. Despite the opponent's enormous and seemingly impervious form, its Attack Power and Corrosive Poison abilities were not superior to Tidamia's own.
More crucially, the Zombie Race's fatal weakness—slow movement—had not been improved in this particular Mutated Zombie.
Tidamia remembered leveraging its own agility and quick reactions to repeatedly dodge the zombie's attacks. It sought opportunities to counterattack between the zombie's clumsy swings. Although it ultimately failed to defeat the zombie, Tidamia managed to escape by relying on its Combat Techniques and agility. It left the zombie to watch helplessly as it disappeared into the Dark.
After scouring Tidamia's memories, Fang Zhou made a rough assessment based on its combat strength. If the Mutated Zombie's strength hadn't increased significantly in a short time, then with his current power, he should be able to cut it down with ease.
Of course, Fang Zhou well understood the principle of not courting unnecessary danger. Therefore, he planned to adopt a more cautious strategy.
Currently, Fang Zhou not only had powerful warriors like the Berserker Heroic Spirit Olaf and Tidamia under his command, but also a massive Skeleton Army. Utilizing these advantages, Fang Zhou planned to employ the "Bone Sea" tactic. This involved gathering the strength of all the Skeleton Warriors to besiege the Mutated Zombie, using overwhelming numbers to compensate for any deficit in individual power.
After drafting a rough battle plan, Fang Zhou reconfirmed the positions of his Skeleton Teams and instructed them to fan out and explore. Then, he personally chose a direction and led one of the teams to begin tonight's journey of slaughter.
In this land shrouded in Death, hunting, devouring, and evolving formed the primary principle of the Undead Realm.
「Several hours passed.」
Immersed in the thrill of the slaughter, Fang Zhou was suddenly roused by an alert from his Soul Link. He instantly realized that Skeleton Team 1 had made a significant discovery.
Following the Soul Link, he shifted his perspective, connecting to Archer 1. Through Archer 1's eyes, Fang Zhou's Soul Fire flared brilliantly as a wave of joy surged through him.
The Mutated Zombie… it's been found!
Under the crimson moonlight, the Mutated Zombie was entrenched atop a low hill of corpses, occasionally howling toward the sky. It was far more massive than an ordinary zombie, nearly twice the height of an average human. Its body was covered with a thick, hard layer of keratin.
This keratin layer glistened with a faint metallic sheen under the light of the Blood Moon. It was evidently a product of the mutation, greatly enhancing the zombie's Defense.
