Translator: 549690339

The Broken Wing Dance skill, featuring impressive damage, mobility, and a powerful third-stage attack that can control opponents, can paralyze anyone hit by its energy wave, throwing them into the air. It’s a versatile move that can be used for both offensive and defensive tactics.

Splash-

Upon seeing Song Jian retreat to a backstage corridor, the bat-winged zombies swarmed in, screaming. They piled on top of one another, desperate to squeeze into the tight space.

“They seem to have lost any sense of self-awareness…” Song Jian frowned, looking at the chaotic red eyes of the bat-winged zombies, filled with fury and a thirst for blood.

“Attack!” Song Jian advanced instead of retreating, standing his ground in the corridor. He swung his sword, chopping at the monsters rushing towards him. These creatures had claws as sharp as metal. The tips of their claws gleamed with a green light. They launched themselves from the air at a furious speed, and any neglect on Song Jian’s part would result in them managing to land a blow.

Thud-

The Vitality Points of the bat-winged zombies were slashed to zero one by one. They burned in mid-air, dissipating into a cloud of black smoke accompanied by a pitiful scream, only leaving some black ash floating in the air.

Sword Finger!

A three-meter-long silver sword light suddenly flashed and stabbed forward, piercing the bodies of six or seven bat-winged zombies like kebabs.

Plop Plop Plop-

The bodies of three bat-winged zombies exploded, turning into black smoke and breaking apart. The rest were heavily injured, struggling on the ground of the corridor, their bodies continuously emitting black smoke.

Song Jian fought as he retreated, quickly killing three to four dozen bat-winged zombies. The other zombies didn’t hesitate in the face of their comrades’ death, throwing themselves at Song Jian one after another.

Despite his vitality points recovering at a rate of twenty-three per second, Song Jian’s vitality points kept dropping. The bat-winged zombies’ attacks were all highly toxic. Each hit resulted in a burning pain at the wound site.

System: Bat-Winged Zombie (Juvenile) has inflicted 55 points of damage on you, with an additional 15 points of Toxic Damage; your talent skill “Thick Skin” has activated, reducing 12 points of damage and immunizing against the Toxic Damage. After considering your physical condition and equipment defense, the Bat-Winged Zombie (Juvenile) has inflicted a final damage of 24 points on you.

System: Bat-Winged Zombie (Juvenile) has inflicted 59 points of damage on you, with an additional 15 points of Toxic Damage; your talent skill “Thick Skin” has activated, reducing 12 points of damage and immunizing against the Toxic Damage. After considering your physical condition and equipment defense, the Bat-Winged Zombie (Juvenile) has inflicted a final damage of 28 points on you.

Such combat prompts were falling like a waterfall, startling Song Jian. His talent skill was really powerful; it immunized him against every instance of Toxic Damage. Otherwise, Song Jian would have long since retreated, instead of standing his ground in the corridor, fighting against three to four bat-winged zombies.

Soon, he reached the end of the corridor, which led to a hallway lined with dressing rooms. Song Jian retreated towards the dressing room he first entered, which had a staircase to the attic. If he couldn’t hold them off, he would have to retreat to the attic and block the entrance.

A thick layer of black ash now covered the corridor, with more than fifty bat-winged zombies dead. Among the black ash, various glowing items floated about. These were the items dropped by the bat-winged zombies that Song Jian had no time to collect.

In actuality, this quest isn’t designed for solo players but for a combat squad. Only with a well-organized and fully-equipped squad could one potentially block the suicidal onslaught of so many bat-winged zombies using this corridor.

But unexpectedly, Song Jian, with his extraordinary vitality recovery rate and strong attacks, couldn’t go as far as a full-fledged combat squad, but he came close. Relying on his strategy of retreat and fight, he managed to eliminate nearly half of the bat-winged zombies. The rest couldn’t inflict fatal damage on him. As long as he had enough time, Song Jian believed he could wipe them all out before his Vitality Points run out.

The speed of his Vitality Points’ depletion was very slow. At this moment, Song Jian still had more than 300 Vitality Points. If it were someone else, they would have hidden in a narrow place by now. But, Song Jian had killed fifty to sixty bat-winged zombies.

“Phew, that was refreshing!” Song Jian wiped the jet-black blood splattered on his forehead, surprisingly a smile crept onto his face.

Whoosh-

He was hit hard on the shoulder again. Although he was immune to the poisonous damage, the moment he was attacked, he felt a burning pain in his shoulder, as if something was scorching and corroding the wound.

The durability of the Zombie Leader’s Armor also appeared, its durability had now dropped to 28/56. This made Song Jian a little worried. This piece of Zombie Leader’s Armor was a minor masterpiece, and it’s a set with gloves that came with set-increased attributes.

Once the armor is damaged, not only will he lose the attributes of an upper garment but the 3-point strength attribute bonus the set provides would disappear as well. That would be somewhat unbearable.

“Broken Wing Dance!”

Seeing that the cooldown of the sword skill “Broken Wing Dance” had ended, Song Jian immediately released this skill. With the Devouring Belt and Frost Skeleton Necklace, as long as Song Jian didn’t expend high-consuming skills like “Eye Kill”, his Spirit Points would consistently remain above 90%.

“Phew, No more, 1 must replenish some Vitality Points, otherwise, it’s not sustainable. Even if 1 reach the attic, they will drain me to death!” After casting the skill, Song Jian retreated. He checked his Vitality Points, which had dropped from over three hundred to just over two hundred and eighty. For others, more than two hundred Vitality Points might be their total, but for Song Jian, he had already reached a very dangerous zone.

“Blood Pool Summoning Skill!”

Song Jian murmured, and a Hexagram Magic Array materialized under his feet centered around him;

Whoosh-

A flock of Blood Ravens flew out of the Magic Array. Average level of the thirty-odd Blood Ravens was around five. Their sudden appearance startled the bat-winged zombies. Those that were about to pounce on Song Jian also halted, but they resumed their charge at the realization of the Blood Ravens’ strength;

Level five Blood Ravens were no match for these bat-winged zombies, plus, bat-winged zombies could fly, nullifying the only advantage Blood Ravens had.

However, Song Jian had not summoned the Blood Ravens to resist the bat-winged zombies – a mere few seconds’ distraction would suffice.

The Blood Ravens were obliterated one by one by the bat-winged zombies, turning into splattered blood, dyeing the entire corridor in red. The sweet nauseating smell of blood filled the surroundings.

The Blood Ravens bought Song Jian six seconds of recovery time, restoring his Vitality Points to over four hundred.

As one by one the Blood Ravens were obliterated, red zombies emerged from the Hexagram Magic Array.
