Chapter 375: Life-Intertwining

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Dark Dragon King’s attack was quite incisive, and he spouted a mouthful of flames that burned several dozen Zombies to ashes.

As for the Corpse Wizard King, he killed mercilessly. Every time he moved past a group of Zombies, holes the size of a man’s thumb would appear in the back of their heads. Their bodies couldn’t be penetrated by either a blade or a spear, but the Corpse Wizard King cut them down without pause, and their blood essence and souls were completely absorbed.

As for the purple mouse, Little Ice, it scampered around quickly, turning all the Zombies that pounced at it into humanoid ice statues.

The five great Wizard Guards possessed great power, but it was a pity that the Stone Forest Spell Formation flickered ceaselessly due to the Zombie King’s summons, while large groups of Zombies came out of it constantly. They couldn’t be exterminated completely, and when a wave of Zombies was knocked down, another one would sweep in to take their place.

In the twinkling of an eye, the restriction’s land was filled wholly by Zombies, while the low-grade Illusory Formation lost its function thoroughly due to the Zombies’ acute sense of smell.

Fortunately, the Zombies’ speed and power were affected greatly by the Gravity Restriction. Otherwise, the situation would have been more dangerous for Yang Ling and his companions.

After Yang Ling burned dozens of Soul Robbing Incense Sticks, he hid in a corner and observed the actions of the Zombie King, Huttings. He prepared himself to teleport at a crucial juncture and mount a deadly attack on him.

The Soul Robbing Incense Sticks were as thick as a thumb, and after they were ignited, they would emit colorless and odorless poison gas. The gas could paralyze an enemy’s nervous system, while also lowering their reaction speed and movement ability.

Since Yang Ling had previously managed to use Soul Robbing Incense to weaken the Flying Dragon King and tame it, he had asked Alice to make a batch of them, and he stored a reserve of them in his space ring.

The red-eyed Zombies possessed boundless power, and their bodies were invulnerable to blades and spears. They were also very fast, and their bodies held a deadly Zombie Poison.

His low-grade magical beasts such as Horned Bee Beasts and spiders couldn’t face such a large number of these monsters head-on, and if he commanded the Magical Beasts Army to swarm at them, they would probably take heavy losses. This was why Yang Ling was forced to come up with another solution.

He had decided to use Soul Robbing Incense to lower the Zombies’ reaction speed and movement ability, then order the Dark Dragon King and Little Ice to attract their attention while the others focused their whole power on killing the Zombie King Huttings.

If they killed him, Zombies would probably stop coming out of the Stone Forest Spell Formation, and their issue would be easily solved.

He didn’t know how effective the Soul Robbing Incense would be against Zombies, whose bodies contained acute poison, but if the plan offered any additional chance of victory, he had to try.

“Hehehe, die, die, you should all die!” The Zombie King Huttings laughed loudly as he raised his heavy iron hammer and pounced at Emmett.

The Dark Dragon King, the Corpse Wizard King, and the others had killed a large number of Zombies, but it seemed that the Zombie King didn’t care about his minions.

Over the countless years that the Zombie King had existed, innumerable Zombies had been buried in the underground tomb. That was why the Zombie King wasn’t affected by the destruction of so many of them. As long as he went back to the underground tomb, he could summon another group in a short while.

“Huttings, this is one fight that you won’t be walking away from.”

The Scorpion King Emmett was filled with confidence because he knew that Yang Ling hid in a corner to provide them support. Emmett commanded the innumerable scorpions to obstruct the Zombies pouncing at him while he charged toward the Zombie King, depending on his speed to counter his opponent.

After Emmett practiced the Puppet Wizard Mantra and cloned himself, he gained both speed and a tenacious life force. Even if the Zombie King crushed his head, he would at most lose a group of scorpions. He would form a large new group of scorpions in the twinkling of an eye and recover his previous appearance. He was like a super-cockroach that couldn’t be killed.

As for the Zombie King, he possessed greater offensive power than Emmett, and his iron hammer could leave holes in Star Metal, let alone in Emmett’s flesh. In the twinkling of an eye, more than a hundred of Emmett’s scorpions were killed by the Zombie King’s hammer, and Emmett’s whole body became thinner.

“Humph, Soul Harvesting!” When Emmett suffered another blow from the Zombie King’s hammer and lost a group of scorpions in his chest region, he flew into a rage and used his Mind Magic. At the same time, he commanded a group of scorpions to pounce at the enemy without regard for their lives, and they opened their mouths to bite their targets.

The body of the Zombie King held a deadly Zombie Poison, and when the scorpions bit into him, both the Zombie King and the scorpions began taking damage. They were sacrificing themselves to injure their enemy.

Previously, Emmett could have depended upon his high-speed to leave. But at this moment, Emmett could only grit his teeth and throw caution to the wind. He didn’t have a way out.

“Ah, my dear Emmett, you really are stupid. Trying to harvest my soul is courting death.”

When the Zombie King saw Emmett recklessly encircling him with scorpions, he laughed heartily. A dense black gas began to emanate from his body.

As the scorpions were engulfed by the black gas, they started falling down one after another like rain. It wasn’t just their souls that suffered a deadly infection, as even their life forces were absorbed by the Zombie King in the twinkling of an eye.

Awful!

Emmett instantly lost control over a large number of scorpions, and their life force disappeared. He was startled, and he withdrew decisively. But it was already too late; the Zombie King sped up and pounced at him. The Zombie King cackled madly.

“Offer me your soul, Emmett! Let me see how a monster like you was formed by scorpions.” The Zombie King revealed a nasty smile and got ready to devour Emmett’s soul.

If the underground tomb didn’t have a restriction, the Zombie King would have long ago ordered an army of Zombies to stamp all the scorpions to death. Then he could have devoured Emmett’s soul at his leisure.

Devouring Emmett’s soul would give him the Cloning Skill, and then he could be reborn through any Zombie. His power would then increase greatly, and he would be able to venture into the depths of the underground tomb.

What should be done?

Could it be that only the last solution was left?

When Emmett saw the Zombie King’s speed rising suddenly and becoming greater than even his own, he was startled. He realized that his enemy either hadn’t used his whole power previously or had just grown in strength.

Emmett could use the Insect Explosion Spell to detonate the scorpions’ souls and inflict heavy injuries upon Huttings, but doing so would be costly. Even if he was reborn through the scorpions in a distant place or the scorpions in the Wizard Pagoda, he would still end up losing a large amount of Soul Energy, and his power would drop drastically.

While Emmett was hesitating, and the Zombie King Huttings was laughing, Yang Ling suddenly attacked from nearby. He launched the Ice-sealing Domain and used Wind Evasion Spell to teleport next to Huttings, then he thrust the Blood Elf Dagger at Huttings’s back.

Enough time had elapsed for Yang Ling to conclude that the Soul Robbing Incense didn’t affect the Zombie King very much. Thus, he needed to attack personally. Delaying any more would allow more Zombies to come out of the Stone Forest Spell Formation, and the situation would become more disadvantageous to him.

Ah!

The Zombie King let out a miserable scream, and he turned his full attention from Emmett to Yang Ling. He launched a series of crazy attacks, and a dense black gas with a foul smell came out of his body.

Is it a Strengthened Zombie Poison?

When Yang Ling inadvertently took a breath of the black gas, he became dizzy and his limbs grew numb. He was startled, and he decided to withdraw immediately.

Before Yang Ling launched the attack, he had consumed several vials of Zombie Poison antidote made by Alice, and he hadn’t expected the Zombie King’s dense black gas to be more destructive than the Corpse Wizard King’s Zombie Poison.

“Life-Intertwining!”

The Zombie King was surprised to see that Yang Ling could still withdraw quickly after absorbing the black gas, and he snorted coldly before he used his most powerful spell. The terrifying black gas turned into many fine threads that formed a cobweb around Yang Ling, who couldn’t dodge in time. The threads looped around him one after another and bound him tightly.

The Zombie King had trained for innumerable years in the underground tomb, and he finally managed to reach black magic’s pinnacle. He could use the fine threads to absorb an enemy’s life force, and he could also use them to invade an enemy’s soul. But using this technique required a large amount of his Magical Energy and Mental Energy.

At first, the Zombie King had planned to use this spell against Emmett to absorb his life force and soul, and learn the cloning technique. But the intense pain caused by Yang Ling’s sneak-attack drove him into a mindless rage, and he launched his strongest spell.

“Life-Intertwining?” Yang Ling mumbled. As he felt the black gas entering his body, his mind grew weary and his limbs became weak.

Yang Ling quickly suppressed his surprise and consumed half a bottle of the Spring of Life’s Water. Gritting his teeth, he sat down cross-legged and started going through the Wizard Mantra silently. He strived hard to use his Physical Protection Wizard Power.

This isn’t right… Surely this isn’t just Zombie Poison! Yang Ling thought.

Yang Ling felt that the black gas around his body was becoming more intense, and more of it was seeping into his body. He wasn’t able to use Wizard Power to force it out of his body, which made it clear that it wasn’t Zombie Poison.

What can I do? Yang Ling wondered. Is this really how I’m going to die?

Yang Ling took a deep breath with great difficulty, racking his brain to recall the Wizard Spells recorded on the Stele. Maybe one of them could help him get rid of the gas.

Many pieces of memory ran across Yang Ling’s mind. The moment when he tamed his first Horned Bee Beast, or when he got to embrace Sofia for the first time in the Valenia Volcanic Valley, or the image of docile Alice pestering him all day long.

Should I use my body to test the poison? He thought.

After Yang Ling recalled that Alice that practiced Poison Techniques, he had an idea. He recalled the Poison Technique Wizard Mantra that he hadn’t used in a long time. Grinning, he started reading it silently, and his hands weaved hand signs as he went. Little by little, he started refining the black gas.

“My Lord! My Lord!”

“Get lost, and die!”

When they saw that Yang Ling was engulfed by the Zombie King’s black gas and that his life’s ripples were only becoming weaker, both the Dark Dragon King and Little Ice charged at the Zombie King without giving regard to anything else.

As for the Scorpion King, Emmett commanded all nearby scorpions to pounce at the Zombie King. He shouted loudly, preparing to use the Insect Explosion Spell to take down his enemy with him.

“Hehehe, come here and offer me your soul.”

After the Zombie King stole a large amount of life force from Yang Ling, he laughed excitedly. He once again used a large-scale Life-Intertwining Spell without worrying about the intense consumption of his Mental and Magical Energy. He got ready to take everyone out at once.

However, just as his black threads rose and started to engulf the sky, the Zombie King’s body shuddered suddenly, and his laughter came to a stop. For some unknown reason, he couldn’t continue absorbing the life force of Yang Ling’s body. His own life force started flowing back toward Yang Ling.

The black threads were pulled down from the sky and converged oddly above Yang Ling, as if they were being drawn by a magnetic field. Wisps of life force were flowing out of them, and as seconds passed, the life force came more and more quickly.
