The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 324

Chapter 324 Traces of the Corpse King

This was the truth. Quantity and endurance were the two magic treasures of the Corpse Race. They were also the fundamental reasons why humans built cities along mountains.

The reason for that was because humans could temporarily gain the upper hand in the battle of human corpses in the wild.

However, in terms of protracted battles, they were naturally not comparable to zombies. Zombies were terrifying things, and they could be said to be existences like permanent motors.

It seemed that they would never feel tired and could continue fighting. However, with the current level of human evolution, it was naturally impossible for them to do so.

The large number of corpses gave the Corpse Race endless support. Without a strong city wall, all four sides were enemies. When facing an endless horde of corpses, humans could only flee quickly under the suppression of battle power.

Otherwise, once they were entangled, they would be exhausted after a fierce battle, and that would be the time when they would lose their lives.

As for Yifan and the others, their final retreat was inevitable. Right now, they were fighting to their heart’s content, of course, in order to buy Zhou Xin and the others more favorable rescue time.

As for the number of zombies, it was the most troublesome problem in the war between humans and the zombies.

Fortunately, these fellows had already lost their fertility after turning into zombies. Otherwise, it was impossible to imagine what would happen.

Naturally, the number of corpses could not be reduced in a day or two. This was a protracted battle between human corpses.

Of course, for now, Yi Fan and the others could do something to extend the time they could hold out.

And this matter was naturally to find the Corpse King among the corpse horde and kill them. After all, with the Corpse King, the Corpse Race’s combat strength and cohesion were obviously higher than without the Corpse King.

The observer on Yifan’s side was naturally ink-clothed like the Heavenly Eyes.

“Rumble …!”

With a loud noise, the ink robe that was lit up with brilliant green flames pierced through the orange-red fire cloud. A pair of huge sharp claws pulled out several long scratches.

Within the clouds of flame zombies, there were a few cyan flame patterns. Countless flame zombies turned into sparks of cyan flames and fell from the sky.

“Master…! We’ve temporarily discovered eight Corpse Kings. They’re all located in the rear of the group of corpses. Three of them are on the top floor of the Zhongjian Building.

“Three of them are on a small hillside on the left side of a highway. The other two are on top of the 34th fortress built by their master. Do you need me to hunt down the Corpse King?”

In Yifan’s spiritual world, Mo Yi’s crisp voice finally came. Yifan immediately replied, “You did a good job, Mo Yi. Continue to observe. Leave these Corpse Kings to us. The sky is your battlefield. You and Ruo Xue can just deal with the Corpse Kings in the sky.”

“Yes … Master!” Mo Yi’s obedient response sounded in Yifan’s mind.

After knowing the position of the Corpse King, Yifan swung his chop and began to look around. Then he shouted, “Fang Mubai, bring your Ink Armor Army and immediately charge towards the Zhongjian Building. There are three Corpse Kings on the roof of that building. I’ll leave them to you!”

“Promise to complete the mission!” Fang Mubai’s eyes flashed with a wisp of excitement as she replied in a deep voice.

Then, he raised his eyes to look at the faintly distant Zhongjian Building. On the saw-toothed blade in his hand, a black blade aura with a unique metallic luster suddenly lingered.

“Asura Broken Cloud Slash!!”

As Fang Mubai shouted in a low voice, the veins on his hand bulged, and dozens of black afterimages streaked across his sawtooth blade. It was like hundreds of black Heavenly Sabers, carrying dozens of meters of saber aura as it slashed down abruptly.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

As the wind howled, Fang Mubai’s saber slashed down like a black saber mountain towards the group of corpses within a few dozen meters.

“Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!”

The group of corpses within ten meters of the saber suddenly cleared up.

“Chi …!”

As the wind blew, Fang Mubai raised his four wings and flew out at top speed. At the same time, he exhaled and said, “Ink Armor Army, set up an arrow formation and charge with me!”

“Drink …!”

The collective shouts of 5,000 people echoed throughout the battlefield. There was an extremely rhythmic pattern. After the claws clashed and tossed, the 5,000 Ink Armored Army quickly turned into a defensive circular array into an offensive arrow array.

“Chi chi chi chi chi!”

The five thousand Ink Armor Army, with Fang Mubai and several Ink Armor Commanders as their arrows, were like sharp arrows as their blood boiled and their sharp blades pierced into their flesh. They flew towards Zhongjian Tower at an extremely high speed.

Seeing Fang Mubai’s reaction speed, Yifan was quite satisfied. At that time, through the soul contract, in Cauliflower’s spirit, he instructed, “Cauliflower, do you see that small hillside by the highway over there?”

As the cauliflower was rolling, a confused expression appeared on its head. After looking around for a moment, it finally discovered the small hillside that Master had mentioned. It said in a daze, “Master, I saw it, I saw it!”

It was still a clear spring-like voice. In fact, Cai Hua was just a little high-spirited Cai Hua who had just rolled around, and for a moment, she was unable to tell where she was.

Yi Fan said angrily, “On the hillside, there are three Corpse Kings. They are used as snacks for you!”

“Yeah! Corpse King, cauliflower is my favorite! Thank you, master!” With that, the Cauliflower Emperor’s silver light flashed and shot into the ground, disappearing without a trace.

Yifan smiled bitterly and shook his head. The Rock Tiger Saber opened and closed horizontally, clearing a huge empty space among the corpses.

Then, he shouted again, “Hua Leng, Mo Ling, I’ll leave the frontal battlefield to you. The two of you should command the Ant Sea and try your best to prolong the time it takes to stop the corpses!”

Mo Ling and Hua Leng’s antennae kept shaking as they responded in unison.

“Yes, Master.”

“Yes, Great Master.”

“Boom!”

As soon as the two queen ants finished speaking, Yifan had already exerted his strength under his feet. With a rumbling sound, he flew out like a rock.

As for his target, it was naturally Fort 34.

At the edge of the battlefield, on the roof of China Construction Building.

The three Corpse Kings were standing on the roof, roaring as countless zombies heard them.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

The sound of sharp blades piercing through the air could be heard endlessly. Countless frost zombies were firing out ice arrows.

Countless sharp-edged zombies were shooting out poisonous bone blades, and these bone blades naturally came from the mouths of the highly poisonous zombies.

In fact, these Corpse Kings didn’t care about the lives of their lower clans. Even their own personal guard corps, the Corpse Kings only treated them as their lower clans that sincerely admired them.

In fact, even peak Fourth Grade zombie kings might have subordinate concepts, but they were far inferior to the wisdom of those obsessed zombies.

“Ahhh …!”

A corpse roar carried a warning intent, but one of the three corpse kings, whose skin was dark blue, suddenly roared.

The other two Corpse Kings immediately followed suit and saw a black “sharp arrow” rushing towards them.

“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

Almost at the same time, the three Corpse Kings roared, seemingly filled with anger.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Countless poisonous bone blades and ice arrows shot towards the black “sharp sword”.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

As Fang Mubai and the five commanders of the Ink Armor Legion raised their heads, an ice arrow mixed with a rain of bone blades poured down.

“Shield …!”

Apart from Fang Mubai, who was wearing a bloodline armor and seemed to be fearless, all the other Ink Armored Army warriors reacted even though they were protected by worm armor.

All of them raised their left arms, releasing dark black crystalline power from their bodies. However, in an instant, the horny arm blade on their left arms was rapidly softening and deforming.

In an instant, the horny arm blade turned into a small, exquisite wall shield. Under the shroud of crystal power, it produced a huge energy shield.

‘Ding ding ding ding ding ding!’

The ice arrows and bone blades rained down, but apart from the sound of clanging on the energy shield, it didn’t seem to have any effect at all.

“Ah …!”

A silver-armored Corpse King roared from the top floor.

“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

Dozens of deformed silver-armored zombies rushed out at top speed. They landed on all four limbs, but they still had a gigantic figure. The smallest of them was about two meters long.

“Knock knock knock knock knock!”

Countless zombies automatically lined up in a wide corridor. Dozens of deformed silver-armored zombies rushed over like silver-white armored vehicles.

Fang Mubai shouted, “Second Guild Leader, Fourth Guild Leader, follow me upstairs to kill the Corpse King.”

“Guild Leader One, Guild Leader Three, Guild Leader Five, lead the team and rush downstairs. Surround me downstairs to prevent the Corpse King from escaping.”

“Yes …!”

The five Guild Leaders answered neatly. They were Fang Mubai’s subordinates, the most elite warriors. Just like the soldiers before the apocalypse, they had the duty to obey orders.

“Chi …!”

The wind whistled, and three figures, two men and a woman, quickly left the formation and flew towards Zhongjian Building.

“Chi …!”

“I’ll go up first. Follow me!”

Fang Mubai paused, raised his wings, and flew towards the roof. Behind him, a male and a female Guild Leader quickly followed.

“Knock knock knock knock!”

The earth trembled, and the sound was like a giant drum. Two four-legged, two-horned, deformed fourth-grade silver-armored corpses collided with the arrow formation formed by the Ink-armored Army like two high-speed tanks.

At this critical moment, the 1st Commander of the Ink Armor Army said calmly, “Now, break into pieces and disperse in three groups.”

“Whoosh …!”

With a command, the black “arrow” instantly turned into three pieces, blossoming on three sides, killing three passageways.

“Bang bang bang bang!”

The three deformed silver-armored corpses blasted a path through the corpses, but the blood on their heads belonged to the same race.

In fact, the strength and speed of these three deformed silver-armored corpses were unquestionable. However, in terms of agility and intelligence, they were lacking. They weren’t on the same order of magnitude as evolvers of the same rank.

Therefore, even though they were among the corpses, they were still nimbly dispersed by the Ink Armor Army. Not only did they avoid this wave of attacks, they even induced countless of their fellow clansmen to be killed.

“Dong dong …!”

A few more earth tremors rang out, and a few deformed silver armors continued to charge towards the scattered armor army.
