#1794 - Phase 2
Fang Heng took a small, incomplete disk-shaped object from his backpack.
A special compound capable of stimulating the proto-virus.
It was clear that the virus within his body couldn't stimulate the dormant virus within the corpse to awaken.
But this thing probably could!
Fang Heng held the compound and slowly approached the corpse.
Whoosh!
Before the compound was even three meters from the corpse, the corpse, which had been lying on the ground, seemingly dead, reacted immediately!
"Chirp, chirp chirp… …"
Tiny red tendrils overflowed from the surface of the corpse!
Seeing this, Fang Heng immediately retracted the compound and retreated.
The red tendrils that overflowed from the corpse slowly wrapped the entire corpse tightly in the center, forming a red, worm-like cocoon.
"Crack, crack, crack… …"
The red tendrils completed their mutation in a short minute, then slowly retracted back under the skin from the surface of the body.
The already fallen corpse re-animated and stood up once more.
This time, the form of the re-animated corpse had undergone subtle changes. A large patch of skin on the left side of the body hadn't healed, and countless tiny red tendrils could be clearly seen wriggling beneath the wound.
Fang Heng whispered a reminder: "Here it comes, this time it's the big guy."
Lu Yanlong also sensed the aura emanating from the corpse and simply retreated to the entrance of the cave.
This was the real deal!
Whoosh!
The corpse instantly transformed into a red afterimage, rushing towards Fang Heng at high speed, while the tendrils within its body burst out from the wound on its left side!
Several tiny red tendrils, condensed into red spikes, shot out from the body first, forming a giant web that enveloped Fang Heng!
"Whoosh!!"
A dark golden book suddenly appeared in front of Fang Heng.
The Book of Oath!
"Swish! Swish swish!!!!!"
Dark golden, sacred pages flew out from within the Book of Oath at high speed!
"Boom! Boom boom boom!!!!!"
The golden streams of light collided with the dense web of red tendrils and exploded!
The Holy attribute could also exert extra damage when dealing with re-animated corpses!
Plus the purification effect attached to the sacred pages.
Instantly, the giant web that had opened in mid-air was completely destroyed!
Subsequently, the sacred pages transformed into streams of light, continuously bombarding the corpse, knocking it back step by step!
Visibly, the corpse's health was rapidly decreasing!
At the same time, the energy within the Book of Oath was also consumed to only one-third in this short half minute.
Lu Yanlong was astonished as he watched from the side.
It was actually the Holy attribute?
He watched as the corpse boss's health was blasted from full health to only half by the Holy attribute streams of light!
Fang Heng actually had such a powerful trump card that he hadn't revealed all along?
"Swish! Swish swish swish!!!!!"
Four spiraling magic arrays revolved around Fang Heng's feet.
A visible aura of ice emerged from within the magic arrays!
The Undead Skeleton Leader stepped out from within the magic array, and the Ice Severing Blade immediately swung towards the re-animated corpse!
"Bang! Bang bang!!!!!"
The re-animated corpse was continuously knocked back by the ice skeleton!
After being severely injured by the Book of Oath, coupled with the subsequent soul freezing effect attached after the descent of the ice skeleton boss, the re-animated corpse's various abilities greatly declined.
Fang Heng switched to the Necromancy form again.
Mental strength gathered, and the Book of the Dead appeared in front of him.
"Chirp! Chirp!!"
Thick, solidified chains of souls overflowed from within the Book of the Dead, rapidly wrapping around the corpse!
Once the corpse was controlled, the subsequent battle entered Fang Heng's rhythm.
Fang Heng quickly made a judgment.
The Licker's attack power was too low, barely enough to deal with large creatures. They could swarm up and fill the lack of damage with numbers, but it was difficult to be effective against agile, small-sized creatures.
In addition, the re-animated corpse had undergone the virus infection effect, and its self-recovery ability was not bad.
Relying on the Lickers as output was unrealistic.
So Fang Heng decisively chose to rely on the Undead Skeleton Leader as the main output.
Because he was worried that the Undead Skeleton Leader would be instantly killed, he also needed to watch from the side. Once he found that the Undead Skeleton Leader's health was lower than one-third, he would immediately reverse summon it back and switch to a new Undead Skeleton Leader to join the battlefield.
The scene fell into a stalemate again.
Lu Yanlong carefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Switching between the Undead and Holy attributes, how many trump cards does Boss Fang still have that he hasn't revealed?
Thinking, he took a few steps back, avoiding the main battlefield.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go up and help, but this level of battle had already exceeded the scope of what he could help with.
Spatial studies were best at escaping, and to say he could fight head-on, he couldn't beat it either.
As the battle progressed, a layer of cold sweat overflowed from Fang Heng's forehead.
It seemed that the Undead Skeleton Leader could unite to beat the re-animated corpse, and the situation was under control.
But in reality, Fang Heng needed to concentrate fully on controlling the chains of souls and the Undead Skeleton Leader to fight, and he couldn't relax at all.
Fortunately, the re-animated corpse only relied on instinct to act, and its fighting style was relatively simple.
Watching the re-animated corpse's health slowly decrease bit by bit, Fang Heng switched to the Book of Oath again, consuming all the remaining energy in one go!
Give me a blast!
"Swish!! Swish swish!!!!!"
Golden streams of light overflowed from within the Book of Oath again, blasting towards the re-animated corpse, causing continuous explosions on its body, knocking it flying!
"Thud!"
The corpse heavily crashed into the wall, and its body slowly fell down.
The red tendril lifeforms in the lower layer of the skin quickly retracted into the body.
"Whoosh!!!!!"
Blue flames rose from the re-animated corpse, instantly engulfing the entire corpse in intense burning.
In a few short seconds, the re-animated corpse was burned to ashes.
Fang Heng retrieved the Book of Oath, and the game prompt appeared on his retina.
[Hint: Player zombie clone successfully killed - Corpse Aberrant, player found Tier 3 Mutation Crystal * 1].
"Huff… …"
Fang Heng put down the mark he had condensed in front of him, panting heavily.
It took a great deal of effort to solve a leader-level creature.
It was too difficult.
This was still on the basis of the Book of Oath assisting in knocking out three-quarters of its health.
Otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome.
Fortunately, the ending was still good, and the Tier 3 Mutation Crystal was obtained.
Thinking, Fang Heng approached the remains of the ashes after being burned by the blue flames, and picked up the Tier 3 Mutation Crystal left on the ground.
"Eh? What is this?"
Among a pile of black ashes, Fang Heng found a dark golden metal disk in addition to a Tier 3 Mutation Crystal.
Metal disk?
Fang Heng's heart stirred.
He remembered that in the main tomb before, Sha Lin had taken out a similar disk from the corpse in the stone coffin.
It was a pity that it was eventually taken away by the internal line arranged by the Federation.
Could it be the metal disk containing the Avila chip?
Strange.
According to what Sha Lin said earlier, there was no Avila chip set in the corpses in ordinary tombs.
Then why could it be found?
Did Sha Lin's information have an error?
Fang Heng couldn't help but wonder, squatted down, and reached out to gently touch the disk.
