Both sides are currently in a balanced situation, but in reality, this crocodile has already been cornered with no chance of escape.
As time drags on, the crocodile grows increasingly weak, and the zombies present visibly recover, showing little difference from their pre-battle status, possibly even better.
The battle has reached a total crush state; the crocodile’s body is surrounded by seven or eight zombies, frantically tearing at it. Its lamentations are futile.
"Hmm?"
Su Changxing raised an eyebrow, keenly noticing that the zombie whose head had been bitten off and was lying dead on the ground suddenly twitched its fingers, its body moved more vigorously, and miraculously came back to life!!
The headless zombie crawled up from the ground, staggering towards the crocodile, its speed slow.
Were ordinary people to witness this scene, it would create a psychological shadow.
A brainless zombie can still move independently, defying the world’s logic.
However, as the crocodile died, the headless zombie staggered a few more steps forward and finally fell heavily to the ground.
Because it had exited the combat state, without the hunger to sustain it and lacking sufficient life force for survival, it died again.
"That’s too exaggerated." Su Changxing pondered, realizing the Divine Inheritance was far beyond his imagination.
This ability escaped the constraints of the world’s rules, existing on another illusory surface.
Consequently, the zombie kept skipping between life and death was stuck in a state between life and death.
There’s no doubt that zombies are alive, and they will die.
Undead creatures’ ability to revive is a trait of their race and arises from the world’s rules, is logical, is the world’s rules.
Yet, this is different.
He could tell that the reanimated zombie was the same one that had originally died, not a newly created life or a fabricated one.
With the power of hunger aiding, the Undead Tide acted more unscrupulously, being able to clear areas with fewer zombies, greatly improving efficiency.
Extraordinary Crystals were sent continuously from outside the safe zone to Su Changxing.
Even so, Extraordinary Crystals were insufficient, as his body was like a black hole, needing increasingly more energy; 36 Tier Eight Extraordinary Crystals had been consumed without further enhancement.
The expeditionary Undead Tide swept southward, gathering more zombies itself, growing increasingly massive, surpassing a hundred thousand, leaving desolate locations in its wake.
A school.
The Vanguard Army of the Undead Tide discovered a school, appearing empty, even zombies were sparse, only some distributed at the edges, no humans present, seemed abnormal.
Su Changxing pondered that there must be a powerful Extraordinary Creature residing inside, causing other creatures to stay away, yet unable to spot the creature’s trace.
Soon.
He noticed the artificial lake in the center of the school, the water still clear, rippling with falling leaves, reflecting the light from the sky.
Hundreds of zombies formed a squad to approach the lake for probing, without any noise, the lake remained tranquil, even without a ripple.
Calm to an oppressive degree.
Obviously, zombies might not know what pressure is, only roaring foolishly, more annoying compared to humans.
Seeing the situation, Su Changxing directly instructed a squad of zombies to jump into the lake for inspection, and sure enough, saw a huge black shadow lurking in the lake. It appeared like an enormous dark green fish with legs, lantern-sized eyes staring at the zombies that suddenly jumped in, confused why these little bugs dared to intrude upon its territory.
Lake water surged, the dark green fish opened its mouth full of fangs, biting towards the zombies that jumped into the lake.
Su Changxing, through the zombie’s perspective, keenly sensed a dozen or so vague large hands centered around the fish, appearing in the lake formed by water flow.
This big fish possessed the ability to control water, making hundreds of zombies that jumped into the lake immobile, able only to watch as the fish bit down on them.
If the previous lizard was merely massive, then this fish’s ability was absolutely terrifying, effortlessly suppressing hundreds of zombies to immobility, though using the lake’s power.
Su Changxing chose not to retreat, instead directing the Undead Tide to charge from all sides into the water; after a reinforcement of the tide, his confidence surged, believing the Undead Tide could indeed engage with such a detailed powerful creature.
More importantly, he needed the Extraordinary Crystal within the fish’s body; higher quality energy was necessary to push the tide’s divinity.
Numerous zombies leaped into the lake like evil ghosts, swarming towards the dark green fish. More invisible water-formed large hands emerged, slapping approaching zombies aside.
The large hands’ power was strong, swirling water could start a devastating impact on the ordinary zombie’s body, rapidly dyeing the dark green lake water black, turning it foul.
However.
This was merely a probing attack from the Undead Tide; there were more zombies waiting onshore, surrounding the entire school, densely packed, staring at the artificial lake in the center.
As pairs of eyes flickered with blue light, an unusual terror spread.
Batches of zombies were torn into pieces and sank to the lake bottom, more zombies continually jumped into the lake, launched attacks on the dark green fish.
Possessing hunger, the Undead Tide became more resilient than before, enabling a similar number of zombies to fight for longer periods.
Some scattered at the bottom, whose bodies were incomplete, restored to their physical state, surged upward, then were wrecked by the water, sank to the lake bottom again, revived and surged up again••••••
Such a process lasted more than two hours, the lake surface floating with limbs and debris, emanating a foul stench, the dark green fish finally showing fatigue, facing seemingly endless zombies, feeling a trace of powerlessness.
By then, this battle’s outcome was certain.
This aquatic Extraordinary Creature can only withstand the Undead Tide, leaving this artificial lake might drastically weaken its power, even less than the prior lizard.
After half an hour.
A large amount of lake water seeped from the artificial lake’s shores, zombies filled half the lake, dark green fish exhibited prominent wounds, constantly oozing, scarlet blood drifting in the dark lake water.
The Undead Tide managed to engage the dark green fish and cause it harm.
With strength declining, the dark green fish’s power swiftly weakened, water-formed large hands became flimsy, struggling to kill ordinary zombies.
Zombies crawled onto the dark green fish’s body like evil ghosts, using claws and teeth to tear his body bit by bit, jointly dragging it ashore, revealing a body full of pustules, expanding and contracting continuously, similar to fish gills.
The dark green fish lay on the ground like a dead fish, losing the ability to resist, emitting a raucous crow-like screech.
The Big Horn did not intervene, merely stood on shore watching like a supervisor, finally approaching, cutting apart the fish’s body, extracting a fist-sized dark green Extraordinary Crystal, flickering with peculiar oil sheen, resembling ice, lowering the surrounding temperature, frosting it with frost.
The dark green fish’s massive body was quickly dismembered by the Undead Tide, providing zombies with ample energy, facilitating the formation of Extraordinary Zombies.
This expeditionary Undead Tide grew stronger, assimilating numerous Extraordinary Zombies, also fostering a part of original Extraordinary Zombies with a substantial number of Extraordinary Creatures’ corpses.
These original Extraordinary Zombies were evidently stronger than the assimilated Extraordinary Zombies, perfectly matching the tide’s aura, while the assimilated Extraordinary Zombies enjoyed half the aura’s effects, they and ordinary zombies fully benefited.
