Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 376 - 176 HP Soars_2
Chapter 376: Chapter 176 HP Soars_2
Could there be a similar behemoth inside the reservoir?
With this thought, Wang Tao suddenly felt a mix of excitement and caution.
If such a zombie really existed, it would likely be Level 3!
Wang Tao had killed a Level 3 Zombie before, but that was done by exploiting the sunlight to eliminate a Night Demon, not through a typical kill.
Of course, the situation now was different—now all zombies would gradually find themselves engulfed in a sea of flames, and if there really were Level 3 Zombies, Wang Tao wasn’t without a chance to fight!
Wang Tao shared his speculation about the possibility of Level 3 Zombies in the area with Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun, warning them to be cautious.
Both nodded quickly.
Jiang Shixue was rather unfazed, as she didn’t experience much fluctuation in emotions when it came to combat—to put it simply, she didn’t know fear.
Xu Xiaojun, on the other hand, was somewhat scared, which is only human. However, he firmly believed that even if it were a Level 3 Zombie, Wang Tao could take care of it. He held a blind trust in Wang Tao.
The fire continued to burn, and from time to time, Level 2 Zombies would leap out of the flames, only to be swiftly dispatched by Wang Tao’s arrows.
Wang Tao no longer cared whether or not there were Level 3 Zombies, deciding to kill all the zombies he could before considering anything else.
Wang Tao estimated that quite a few zombies would be burned to death before they had a chance to escape the inferno, wondering just how much HP would be wasted… It was a shame that Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun couldn’t perform ranged attacks; otherwise, they could have collected some kills too.
The reservoir was deep, and there were protective railings all around. Even if some zombies did manage to break free from the inferno, they couldn’t cause any harm to the trio.
But there were always exceptions. Some zombies had the ability to jump directly out, while others had ranged attack abilities, launching assaults on the trio from across the sea of flames.
Luckily, Wang Tao was always cautious. He was on the lookout for such zombies. They wouldn’t get the chance to ambush him; he reserved the privilege of surprise attacks for himself.
Thus, the three of them dealt with these zombies easily, without much danger.
Moreover, Wang Tao had discovered something valuable—a zombie with the “Spittle Nail Ability” had just leaped up.
The Spittle Nail Ability allowed for storing one-tenth of consumed food in the stomach to be later used as a weapon and spat out.
Never mind the abilities of that zombie, what mattered was that killing it would yield a “Magical Stomach Pouch”!
In the past, Wang Tao had killed three Spittle Nail zombies, each dropping a Magical Stomach Pouch, and this Spittle Nail zombie was no exception—it dropped one too!
“Tsk tsk, I can sell this to Yang Changhong, if she can offer something of high value…”
…
Wang Tao originally planned to arrive at the reservoir in the morning, wipe out all Level 2 Zombies by noon, and meet with Yang Changhong in the afternoon.
But plans can’t keep up with changes, and there were too many zombies hidden in the reservoir. The fire that started in the morning continued burning into the afternoon without stopping.
All three of them used handkerchiefs to cover their noses and mouths. The smell of burning corpses was unbearable.
He was also somewhat concerned that the large-scale flames and thick smoke might attract other Level 3 Zombies or those mysterious creatures from the wilderness.
However, it seemed they were fortunate; the area was perhaps too remote, and only a few scattered Ordinary Zombies nearby were easily taken care of by Xu Xiaojun.
As for the mysterious creatures… Their numbers were small, and unless one was extremely unlucky, encounters with them weren’t so easily come by.
“Feels like this fire won’t be extinguished by tomorrow…”
Looking at the great fire, Wang Tao felt a bit helpless.
When the fire initially started burning, he could easily finish off the zombies. But as the fire grew larger, finisher moves became difficult. And now that it had grown to this extent, they were out of the question—as he could occasionally hear the zombies’ roars, but couldn’t see where exactly they were amidst the large fire; they couldn’t escape from within it…
It was somewhat wasteful, to be honest, but Wang Tao was still satisfied. He glanced at his own HP—[24850/24850]
Before coming here, his HP limit was 15,200, but now it was 24,850! It had risen by 9,650!
Although most of the zombies in the flames were Level 2, Elites with generally low HP, and the one with the highest HP was the Terrorizer, there were so many zombies that Wang Tao lost track of how many he had killed.
“Just 5,000 away from 30,000 HP…”
Wang Tao felt a slight thrill in his heart.
This trip was really worthwhile, and the idea of setting the fire had come at just the right time; otherwise, amassing nearly ten thousand in HP limit would have taken quite some time.
The reservoir was replete with wild growth. Seeing that the sun was setting and it was still not burnt out, Wang Tao decided not to leave but to rest here for the night. After all, he hadn’t yet claimed his Crystal Core and Loot Pack, which were down below.
In the afternoon, the wind direction changed a bit, so Wang Tao switched to a different position. Looking at the shining Crystal Cores and transparent packs in the sea of fire, he felt a strong urge, but he resisted.
After all, the fire below was too intense, and who knew if zombies were still hiding there. It was better not to go down until he was sure it was safe.
Wang Tao also sensed something odd—the resilience of these weeds to fire exceeded his expectations. He wondered if perhaps the weeds had mutated as well.
But this had a silver lining—
When Wang Tao previously threw Molotov cocktails at zombies, the flames on their bodies would quickly extinguish.
He didn’t understand why at first, but after some observations, he found that the zombies’ blood might have a “Raining Fire” effect… hence, although a Molotov cocktail could burn zombies, it usually couldn’t kill them.freeweɓnovel.cøm
