Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1553 - 650 Sandstorm Aura_2
Chapter 1553: Chapter 650 Sandstorm Aura_2
The battle below continues, despite the presence of a sixth-rank lord-level zombie in the horde, but they still can’t break through everyone’s defense line.
The lord-level zombies have a certain level of intelligence, but this intelligence is obviously insufficient to match the First Legion Commander’s wealth of experience, making it an absolute intelligence crush. The zombie tide may seem fierce, but defeat is only a matter of time.
At that moment, Wang Tao suddenly looked up, gazing into the distance. Jiang Shixue and the others, noticing Wang Tao’s action, immediately turned their heads as well.
In the distance, a small sandstorm was slowly approaching, and at the center of the sandstorm was a huge figure, muscles bulging!
"Giant Zombie!"
Upon seeing this zombie, everyone’s expressions instantly became serious.
Ever since Wang Tao destroyed that giant zombie nest last time, they hadn’t seen a giant zombie since. They thought perhaps they were extinct, but unexpectedly, they appeared again. Obviously, there were more than one giant zombie nests.
The strength of the giant zombies is comparable to the same-level disaster class, and due to their enormous size, most attacks do not hit their weak points and have little effect. If it rushes into the crowd, it could cause massive casualties instantly!
Moreover, everyone feels this giant zombie seems stronger than before...
They immediately turned their attention to Wang Tao, asking if they should intercept the giant zombie.
[HP: 1000000/1000000]
[Mana: 1000000/1000000]
[Level: Sixth-Rank Lord]
[Awakening: Giant]
[Status: Sandstorm Aura]
Wang Tao had seen many statuses before, but this [Sandstorm Aura] was new to him. The name is similar to [Freezing Aura], and he suspects the actual effect might be similar...
Sure enough, after checking the specific description, Wang Tao confirmed it was a similar type of status to the Freezing Aura.
[Sandstorm Aura: Reduces its own movement speed, increases earth attribute defense, and attacks carry earth attribute. Enemies within a two-hundred-meter radius will be attacked by sand and stones, their vision obscured, and earth attribute defense reduced]
The Freezing Aura also reduces its own speed, increases ice attribute defense, and attacks with an ice attribute, but Freezing Aura itself does not cause damage, only slows down and reduces the target’s ice attribute defense.
However, this [Sandstorm Aura] is different. Besides reducing the carrier’s speed and granting earth attribute attack, it won’t slow down the target but will obscure the vision of enemies in range and attack them with sand and stones.
In other words, this [Sandstorm Aura] is damaging! Plus, with this sixth-rank giant zombie’s [Sandstorm Aura], spanning a radius of two hundred meters, this is equivalent to a disaster-level awakening!
Wang Tao was unsure of how much damage this [Sandstorm Aura] could inflict, but clearly, even those with awakenings couldn’t withstand it.
"This giant zombie is off. That sandstorm is an aura state it carries. It can obscure vision, reduce earth attribute defense, and cause damage!"
Wang Tao immediately explained.
"Turned out to be an aura state..."
Everyone was a bit surprised.
There have been several sandstorms around the base recently, and they assumed the sandstorm around the giant zombie coincidentally blew onto it, thinking the giant zombie was unlucky. But unexpectedly, it was a state carried by the giant zombie itself!
They had already experienced the power of the [Freezing Aura] on elite or lord zombies, which was manageable for them. But when [Freezing Aura] was on a giant zombie, both the freezing effect and area were greatly enhanced, making it impossible for them to fight, and only Wang Tao could handle it.
Now this [Sandstorm Aura] surely isn’t weaker than the [Freezing Aura], and since the [Sandstorm Aura] causes damage, it almost matches disaster-level zombies! Those below definitely can’t hold it off!
"Let’s engage, we can’t let it get any closer!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Wang Tao notified the First Legion Commander, then had the Golden Eagle fly towards the sandstorm giant zombie.
The people below were fully focused on the battle, and the giant zombie was still some distance away, so they didn’t notice it at first. However, when the Golden Eagle suddenly took off, it immediately drew a lot of attention. Given the Golden Eagle’s large size, it had been shading them from the sun. When it suddenly left, it naturally caught everyone’s attention.
Apart from those engaged in battle who couldn’t be distracted, others instinctively glanced at the Golden Eagle’s position, and then they spotted the giant zombie bringing the sandstorm.
"Holy crap! A sixth-rank giant zombie!"
Everyone exclaimed in astonishment.
The giant zombie was already enormous, and with the sandstorm it carried, its slow movement exerted immense pressure at once.
If not for the First Legion Commander’s ongoing shouts to snap them back, many might have been injured moments ago or even devoured by the zombies in the horde.
"Stay focused! Commissioner Wang has personally gone to deal with the giant zombie; we don’t need to worry!"
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately calmed their minds and focused on dealing with the zombie tide. With Wang Tao personally intervening, the sixth-rank giant zombie stood no chance!
On the other side, the Golden Eagle had already reached the sandstorm giant zombie’s side.
The action speed of this sandstorm giant zombie was slow, but wherever it passed, both weeds on the ground and abandoned houses were destroyed by the sandstorm, leaving the place a true wasteland!
The closer it got, the more terrifying the sandstorm felt, as if it was the real apocalypse, capable of destroying everything! Had it not been for the Golden Eagle’s formidable strength, it might have been sucked into the storm.
"I’m feeling a bit helpless here..."
Xiang Hongbin said seriously.
Others nodded in agreement.
When they were further away, they could see the giant figure within the sandstorm. But now, being closer, they could barely see anything beyond the raging sandstorm, let alone the figure of the giant zombie.
So it’s not even about whether they have long-range attack ability; even if they do, how could they target the giant zombie’s head if they can’t see it?
"So this is the ’obscure vision’ effect..."
Wang Tao murmured.
The sandstorm was composed of tangible dust and gravel; no matter how strong his vision, he couldn’t see through it. So he too couldn’t see anything.
But it wasn’t a big deal. Han Rui, focused on the sandstorm, suddenly pointed in a direction.
"Its head is right there!"
After ascending to the sixth rank, Han Rui’s perception ability was enhanced considerably, her perception range could now cover most of the sandstorm! With just a slight sense, she could detect where the giant zombie was lurking.
Wang Tao’s eyes glowed red, and two high-temperature rays shot instantly towards the direction Han Rui pointed.
Sizzle——
[-2294]
[-2323]
[-2215]
[...]
Seeing the damage, Wang Tao decisively retracted the [Scorching Eyes].
He hit the giant zombie’s head, but each hit only caused over two thousand damage—this was the lowest damage caused by Wang Tao’s [Scorching Eyes] in some time.
But this wasn’t Wang Tao’s fault, nor was the sandstorm giant zombie’s defense too high; it was due to those sandstorms—
The sand and stones in the storm were tangible entities, dense, and numerous. They blocked Wang Tao’s [Scorching Eyes] attacks. By the time the ray hit the giant zombie’s head, it had been significantly weakened, so the damage was that low.
Moreover, the giant zombie’s blood regeneration was rapid, making it apparent that relying on the little damage from the [Scorching Eyes] to eliminate it was impossible.
"Should I rush in..."
Wang Tao frowned. With his current strength, directly charging into the sandstorm to confront the giant zombie head-on was feasible, but he had another plan in mind...
"Retreat for now, let’s lead it to the crack!"
