"What... what the hell is this?"
Ye Feng was very puzzled.
"Goo goo~~ Ooo ooo!~"
At this moment, the scout colorful chicken at Xiao Xiao's feet let out another cry and pecked hard at Xiao Xiao's little foot, as if reminding her of something.
"Ye Feng, the scout colorful chicken's behavior... means... it's found a zombie!"
Yue Yan, who was quite familiar with the scout colorful chicken, spoke, but her expression was a little confused.
Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying were also quite puzzled, because the masked man with the duck-billed cap did not have the rotten smell that zombies gave off from afar, and he could also talk...
"Ye Feng, be careful, this guy might be an eighth-tier zombie!"
Suddenly, Yue Yan's expression changed slightly, and she said.
"Eighth-tier zombie?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and at the same time, he looked at the masked man with the duck-billed cap with vigilance.
"Yes!"
Yue Yan nodded, "I had only heard of it before, I hadn't seen it. High-tier zombies of seventh-tier and above may have a certain level of intelligence, retain some memories from before the infected person was infected, and possess abilities superior to lower-tier zombies..."
"If I'm not mistaken, what the other party just said should be the ability of a third-tier mutated zombie - the Deceiver..."
"It's just that the other party isn't repeating it meaninglessly like the Deceiver... it can organize language to a certain extent..."
Yue Yan quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"Li!~"
While Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying were still wondering, the masked man with the duck-billed cap suddenly let out an extremely piercing shriek, causing Ye Feng and the other three to feel a sharp pain in their ears.
"Whoosh!~"
In the next second, the masked man with the duck-billed cap flickered, and his sharp, black claws swept rapidly towards Xiao Xiao.
"Whoosh! Bang!"
A flash of light appeared in Xiao Xiao's hand, and a large saber materialized. Arcane energy flames surged, clashing with the masked man's black claws.
"Clang!"
A crisp metallic sound rang out, and sparks flew.
"Ding!~"
"Detected an eighth-tier advanced zombie, located 9.2 meters to the front left!"
Suddenly, the system's mechanical voice chimed in.
"Damn it... is this system's prompt function broken or unfinished..."
Ye Feng was speechless.
"Li!~"
At this moment, the eighth-tier advanced zombie let out another sharp cry. He tore off the black cloth from his face, and his flesh rippled, revealing dense, small eyeballs.
When Ye Feng and the other three came into contact with the dense small eyeballs on the eighth-tier advanced zombie's face, their minds became momentarily dazed, which was the ability of a third-tier zombie - the Illusory Vision.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
A dull thud sounded as Ye Feng lunged forward and punched the eighth-tier advanced zombie into the ground.
"Ga! Roar!"
The eighth-tier advanced zombie roared and quickly struggled out of the ground, slamming an elbow towards Ye Feng's temple.
Ye Feng did not dodge, but pushed out a palm, steadily catching the eighth-tier advanced zombie's elbow strike. However, at that very moment, golden elemental arcane energy erupted from the eighth-tier advanced zombie's body, forming numerous sharp spikes that shot towards Ye Feng's vital areas such as his eyes, throat, and heart...
"Keng keng keng!~"
Crisp and piercing metallic sounds rang out. The numerous arcane energy metal spikes did not harm Ye Feng, but they did tear his clothes to shreds...
"Whoosh! Boom!~"
At this moment, the eighth-tier advanced zombie attacked again. With a palm strike, a sharp arcane energy fire blade slashed fiercely towards Ye Feng's waist.
"Whoosh! Bang!"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, and with a forceful palm, he dispersed the eighth-tier advanced zombie's flame blade. Then, with a "bang," he punched it into the ground again.
"Roar~ Roar~ Ga!"
In just one second, the eighth-tier advanced zombie struggled up, baring its teeth and claws, and launched an attack on Ye Feng.
"This guy..."
Ye Feng was quite surprised, because the two punches he had just landed would have scattered even a tank's armor, yet the eighth-tier advanced zombie seemed unharmed.
"Bang~ Ga!"
"Whoosh! Rumble!~"
"Clang clang! Keng~! Bang!"
The eighth-tier advanced zombie launched a fierce barrage of attacks on Ye Feng, turning the entire ground into a mess of pits, with dust and debris flying everywhere.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the eighth-tier advanced zombie and Ye Feng exchanged a solid blow. The zombie was propelled backward by the recoil force of Ye Feng's punch.
While in the air, it also shot a storm of golden elemental arcane energy and large swathes of flames at Ye Feng.
"Ye Feng, you can't let that guy escape!"
Yue Yan's anxious voice rang out.
"Whoosh!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and his figure flickered, instantly appearing beside the eighth-tier advanced zombie.
"What?"
Ye Feng was taken aback, as he discovered that the space around the eighth-tier advanced zombie was slightly distorted, clearly indicating spatial power. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the eighth-tier advanced zombie's body had merged into the void...
Seeing this, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and he quickly unleashed a faint reddish-golden flame, which instantly pierced through space and penetrated the eighth-tier advanced zombie's head...
"Buzz!"
The eighth-tier advanced zombie's body reappeared from the void and then plummeted downwards...
"This eighth-tier advanced zombie actually possesses spatial power?"
Looking at the eighth-tier advanced zombie on the ground with a large, scorched hole in its head, Ye Feng was extremely shocked.
"Ding!~"
"Host has killed an eighth-tier advanced zombie, gaining 5000 usable points!"
The system's prompt sounded.
"Yue Yan, did you discover something just now?"
Ye Feng ignored the newly added usable points and looked at Yue Yan with a questioning gaze.
Yue Yan did not answer immediately but looked at Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying, who were flying in the sky and observing with binoculars.
After a while, Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying finished their observation and flew back to the ground.
"Sister Yue Yan, we didn't find anyone following us nearby!"
Xiao Xiao retracted her binoculars and said to Yue Yan. Qiao Ying nodded and added, "Me neither!"
"Ye Feng, this eighth-tier advanced zombie... its arrival here is probably not a coincidence!"
Yue Yan's expression was grave. "High-tier zombies, because they retain some memories from their infected hosts, will instinctively move towards places that are most important to them... or places they remember most deeply..."
"This eighth-tier advanced zombie has obvious signs of artificial modification... it's likely someone deliberately released it... to follow it to find a certain place..."
"Judging from the traces of modification on its body and its possession of spatial power, it is very likely related to the Dark Holy Cult or the gods..."
"This is also why I asked Qiao Ying and Xiao Xiao to scout from the air just now, to see if anyone was following!"
Yue Yan explained quickly.
