Chapter 274: Chapter 88 Perils Abound - A Fine Line Between Life and Death_2Xiao Jie watched in amazement, "Damn, a Master of Magic really is awesome, what kind of damage is that!" When the flames subsided, several dozen zombies in the middle had been burnt to death by a large number, and those that hadn’t died let out a howl and all pounced towards Dida La. Dida La had released a Big Move and was clearly in a weakened state, leaning on his Magic Wand and gasping for air. Xiao Jie naturally couldn’t just stand by and watch, protecting Dida La was his main task—there was indeed a reason for this task, this guy’s Attack was really fierce. Secret Technique—Wind Roll Cloud! His body twisting and spinning, Xiao Jie used a Big Move to chop up the group of low-blood-volume zombies, by now he had switched to the Cold Moon Saber and Blood-drinking Blade, the One-handed Blade wasn’t very effective against Mining Zombies because it could bounce back, but it was quite easy against these Earth-burrowing Zombies. Every cut pierced flesh. Even those that didn’t die had triggered the Cold Moon Illumination special effect, each of them moving even more slowly, but they also drew all the firepower towards him. Just after he released a Big Move, three or four nearby zombies pounced at him. Xiao Jie was all too familiar with this move, having often faced it back in Newbie Village, a zombie’s Attack is always the same old three, hand grab, teeth bite, Flying Pounce—Flying Pounce is considered a Big Move. Once you’re pounced on, you’ll be subjected to a grappling effect, and they’ll also bite using Corpse Poison. Phantom Traceless—teleported right out of the circle. He danced and spun again towards the pile of zombies clumped together—Wind Roll Cloud! Just as the two of them finished using their Big Moves, the rest of the group from Party Seven immediately brandished their swords and charged in, chopping away wildly and killing several low-blood-volume zombies. Seeing that the situation in the rear had stabilized, everyone regained their composure. However, just as they resolved the issue behind them, the Corpse King in front started using his Big Move again—Accumulated Corpse Qi! A burst of highly toxic Corpse Poison sprayed out. "Three forty-five retreat, two stick with me and hold the line!" This time, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use responded extremely quickly. Three Generals quickly fell back, while another continued to hold the line with Hidden Dragon Do Not Use. Those retreating ate glutinous rice cake to detoxify, as Hidden Dragon Do Not Use prepared for the incoming assault of the BOSS. However, the Corpse King didn’t Attack him but instead suddenly whipped out an iron chain, a core player from Party Three was just scraped by a Mining Zombie, and while retreating into the circle to heal, was caught off-guard and snagged by the Corpse King. He was pulled over in an instant and grabbed by the throat. "Shit! Save him." But it was already too late. The next second, the Corpse King opened its fang-filled mouth and bit down. Bloodthirsty! -179! That player was already low on blood volume and was instantly taken down by the BOSS’s attack—dead. A +179 green number appeared above the Corpse King’s head. "Bastard!" Wu Yong cursed in anger, Xiao Jie wasn’t sure if he was cursing himself or the Corpse King, it was the first time he had seen him so angry. Yet, his heart also jumped, despite having done everything he could and coordinating well, they had still lost someone. He hadn’t finished contemplating when suddenly, behind him, a zombie pounced onto him. Fuck! Xiao Jie was startled, just after witnessing a teammate die, he was bitten himself, his hair standing on end in that instant. Fortunately, this zombie was just a Little Monster; the bite wasn’t as damaging as the Corpse King’s, only taking down a bit over fifty health and adding a bit of Corpse Poison. But having it cling onto him was rather disgusting, with too little Strength to break free from the grapple, he could only wait for the Skill’s duration to end. Fortunately, he wasn’t fighting alone. Someone fiercely charged up from behind him, it was Dongfang Sheng, who thrust his iron spear at the zombie with all his might. Combat Skills—Ba Wang’s Pole Slap! With a splurch, the iron spear picked up the zombie and threw it away, Xiao Jie barely had time to thank him before seeing, "Ah, another zombie pouncing at him." Damn, what’s going on? Where are all these zombies coming from? He hastily retreated to dodge the pounce, then followed up with a One Cut, Two Pieces to kill the zombie. Looking around, the zombies that were almost wiped out were rising up again. Holy shit, these zombies can actually Resurrect! While Xiao Jie was contemplating and directing everyone to kill monsters, these zombies kept rising after being knocked down twice, seemingly endless and unkillable. One Cut, Two Pieces! A single cut straight away killed a zombie that had just risen. Huh, that fragile? Xiao Jie had a vague feeling something was off but couldn’t put his finger on it. Yet while they were still frantically clearing the monsters, the BOSS had again released Corpse Poison. Accumulated Corpse Qi! The Corpse Poison erupted, the Skill truly disgusting, poisoning everyone within five steps and needing quick detoxification, or else the slow health drain from the Corpse Poison alone would be fatal. The front-row Generals retreated while others pushed forward. Xiao Jie’s heart also lifted. If his guess was right, the Corpse King would surely use the iron chain snagging move again, and it seemed to target players with low blood volume, being practically a one-shot kill for those with less health. And after just being bitten and poisoned, his health wasn’t in a good state, it is very possible that he would be next. Silent Annihilation Blade! His Blade instantly enveloped with the intangible Power of Silence, Xiao Jie kept his eyes on the Corpse King, ready to teleport at any moment. And then the iron chain came flying his way. It really was a case of fearing what might come to pass, Xiao Jie was terrified and quickly performed a Hawk Roll, flipping to the right, but as he flipped out, he suddenly realized that the Corpse King wasn’t aiming for him, the iron chain flew past where he had just been standing—snatching Dongfang Sheng from his side.
