Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1554 - 651: Octopus Monster

Wang Tao wanted to test whether he could make the Giant Zombie and the Sea Beasts fight each other.

Sea Beasts don’t eat zombies. Even with so many zombies passing by the rift’s shore before, the Sea Beasts ignored them completely, only ambushing humans when they approached.

But whether zombies eat Sea Beasts... Wang Tao believed it was highly likely, though he couldn’t be sure. He had considered luring zombies to the shore to see if they’d actively attack the Sea Beasts.

It wasn’t that Wang Tao desperately wanted to watch a "sandpiper and clam brawl while the fisherman reaps the benefit," but he wanted to figure out whether Sea Beasts and zombies were on the same side.

If zombies attacked the Sea Beasts and ate them, then it’d be clear that the two weren’t in the same camp, which would be good news for humans.

But if zombies treated Sea Beasts like they treated humans—ignoring them entirely—then humanity would be in deep trouble!

So this question was one Wang Tao absolutely had to figure out.

Wang Tao had also thought about luring a Zombie Tide to the shore to observe whether it would clash with the Sea Beasts. However, these Zombie Tides were meant for others to "farm XP," and luring them all away wouldn’t be appropriate. Besides, attracting such a massive Zombie Tide was no simple task; whether it could be done was uncertain.

By comparison, luring a single Giant Zombie would be much easier. Especially since this particular Giant Zombie seemed very powerful, Wang Tao quickly decided to test it out!

At the moment, although the group couldn’t see what the Giant Zombie was doing inside the sandstorm, they could see the sandstorm rapidly approaching them. Clearly, the Giant Zombie had spotted them.

"Chirp—"

The Golden Eagle let out a provocative screech, spread its wings, and sent a strong gust toward the sandstorm. Although it caused no harm to the Giant Zombie, it was highly insulting.

"Roar—"

The group faintly heard a furious roar from within the sandstorm, which seemed to grow even larger.

After finishing its provocation, the Golden Eagle immediately turned and fled.

The sandstorm pursued it, scattering countless rocks along the way. While those flying rocks didn’t cause much HP loss to the group, they were genuinely painful.

But for the group, this wasn’t a significant issue; instead, they burst out laughing.

Their objective was already half-accomplished. Next, it depended on whether Wang Tao could lure the Sea Beasts out.

The Golden Eagle’s flight speed was incredibly fast, while the Sandstorm Giant Zombie was quite slow. With this advantage, the Golden Eagle easily left the zombie behind. However, Wang Tao’s goal was to lure the Giant Zombie to the shore, so the Golden Eagle alternated between flying and stopping, constantly provoking it.

Compared to other zombies, Giant Zombies were relatively intelligent, but a provocation like this was clearly unbearable for it. Its roars grew increasingly loud, and the surrounding sandstorm intensified.

However, the Sandstorm Giant Zombie lacked long-range attack ability. As long as the Golden Eagle avoided being swallowed by the sandstorm, the zombie couldn’t land a hit and could only keep trailing behind, gradually being led toward the rift.

Far away, those battling against the Zombie Tide caught sight of the Giant Zombie being lured away and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they felt concerned for Wang Tao and his group.

"A zombie capable of creating such a sandstorm is obviously not an ordinary Giant Zombie. Who knows if Commissioner Wang’s team can handle it..."

"Commissioner Wang bought us plenty of time; let’s go! Give it your all!"

"Charge! Kill them!"

"..."

Listening to those comments, the Army Commander of the First Legion pulled the corners of his mouth into a slight smile.

While others might not know Wang Tao’s team’s strength, he certainly did. That team had even killed Level 6 disaster-level creatures before, so taking down this Giant Zombie shouldn’t be much of a problem—odd and peculiar as it might seem. fгeewebnovёl.com

If Wang Tao deliberately lured away the zombie, there was probably another plan in mind...

Shaking his head, he didn’t overthink it. He went back to issuing orders, reminding everyone to maintain their formation. At their current pace, it wouldn’t be long before they overcame the colossal Zombie Tide!

On the other side, the Golden Eagle finally flew near the rift, with the Sandstorm Giant Zombie in hot pursuit.

Looking at the deep water surface, Wang Tao ordered the Golden Eagle to fly low over the area.

It was here that they had discovered Big Fish Sea Beasts, while the Transparent Fish area was still some distance away.

Since the goal was to lure out Sea Beasts, it should naturally be the Big Fish Sea Beasts. These creatures were full of valuable resources, making any kill profitable. The Transparent Fish Sea Beasts, on the other hand, held no value—killing them was a waste of time.

Still, to be safe, Wang Tao refrained from throwing bait into the water. Instead, he used himself as bait, flying over the rift on the Golden Eagle.

The Transparent Fish couldn’t perceive activity on the water’s surface, but the Big Fish Sea Beasts could see it. So even if Transparent Fish were present, they wouldn’t notice Wang Tao.

The Golden Eagle quickly flew over the rift—nothing happened.

Wang Tao wasn’t impatient. He let the Golden Eagle circle back, provoke the Sandstorm Sea Beast again, and then fly over the rift once more—still, no Sea Beasts appeared.

Next, the Golden Eagle continued this back-and-forth zigzag flight pattern over the rift.

The Sandstorm Giant Zombie finally caught up and saw the Golden Eagle flying above the rift. It instinctively tried to enter the water. However, perhaps sensing something, it abruptly stopped and stood frozen at the shore, roaring furiously.

"Not going in? Not that stupid after all!"

Observing the Sandstorm Giant Zombie’s actions, Wang Tao laughed aloud.

Based on Wang Tao’s prior experience, Giant Zombies weren’t afraid of water—he had seen Giant Zombies walking through rivers before. But the rift was different; leaving aside the Sea Beasts lurking within, the rift itself had a depth of at least several hundred meters.
