Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 387 A Mental Tyrant?
Seeing this situation, Li Chenzhou was shocked. But with the situation urgent, he had no time to study why this behemoth hadn't fallen, even after he'd obtained its mutated crystal core.
*Whoosh!*
Li Chenzhou's figure flashed as he charged towards the giant Tyrant. Approaching, he leaped high, the long staff in his hand whistling as it slammed down on the giant Tyrant's right shoulder.
Because his skill was used, Li Chenzhou's attack could only ignore twenty-five percent of the giant Tyrant's defense. With the attack power of his staff, it was unlikely he could break through the metal armor. He could only choose the exposed body parts, and the arm wielding the mace was naturally the best choice.
After the previous battle, Li Chenzhou knew some of the giant Tyrant's abilities. Its body defense was extremely strong. Among their weapons, only the hand cannon could inflict serious damage. But because of this, the giant Tyrant was quite wary of the hand cannon, always using the mace to detonate the bullets.
Previously, the hand cannon had blown off its palm and half of its forearm because the giant Tyrant had directly grabbed the bullet, absorbing all of the blast's power, resulting in the loss of its left hand.
Apart from the hand cannon, only Li Chenzhou's staff could damage the giant Tyrant's body. The giant Tyrant could ignore other methods. Even Grizzly's favorite rifle couldn't penetrate its skin.
Furthermore, Li Chenzhou didn't understand how the giant Tyrant sensed their presence. Although its scarlet eyes often stared at them, even showing intense hatred when looking at Li Chenzhou, the giant Tyrant didn't seem to rely on its eyes to observe its surroundings.
Grizzly had previously blasted the giant Tyrant's head apart with the hand cannon, but it was still able to fight, even dodging bullets. Li Chenzhou had also used War Fog twice, completely shrouding the giant Tyrant, but it could still fight freely, dodging a hand cannon blast from Li Chenzhou during the War Fog!
War Fog could isolate an enemy's hearing, taste, and sight. But after losing these three senses, the giant Tyrant continued to move freely.
Li Chenzhou wasn't sure whether his War Fog was ineffective or whether the giant Tyrant had another way. He didn't even know if it was still a zombie.
*War Fog doesn't affect you, fine. But now the crystal core is gone, and you can still fight? Is there any sense in this?*
The crystal core was the most important core for a zombie. A zombie that lost its crystal core was sure to die. This was an iron rule in the apocalypse, never broken by any zombie. This giant Tyrant was the first exception Li Chenzhou had seen.
*Clang!*
The staff slammed heavily on the giant Tyrant's shoulder. However, as the staff was about to hit the giant Tyrant's shoulder, its body suddenly shifted slightly to the right.
Li Chenzhou originally wanted to smash the connection between the Tyrant's arm bone and scapula, hoping to cripple its arm. But because of that slight movement, the staff landed on the giant Tyrant's shoulder, on the metal armor...
However, Li Chenzhou reacted quickly. The staff had just struck the giant Tyrant's shoulder when he was still in mid-air. He pushed the staff's body with his right hand and yanked the staff's tail in the opposite direction with his left hand.
The staff on the giant Tyrant's shoulder swept horizontally towards its head. This time, the giant Tyrant finally didn't dodge.
However, because the movement was too short, Li Chenzhou's strike landed on the giant Tyrant's right ear, but the force wasn't that great. Although it cut a gash in its ear, it clearly wouldn't affect the Tyrant in any way.
Because of Li Chenzhou's attack, the giant Tyrant abandoned chasing Grizzly, turning around and swinging its mace at Li Chenzhou from the side. Li Chenzhou immediately retreated, dodging the mace's attack range.
He could have jumped to dodge, but the giant Tyrant was very skilled with the mace. If Li Chenzhou jumped, the mace might suddenly swing upwards, chasing him.
No matter how strong Li Chenzhou's combat ability was, he couldn't dodge when he couldn't borrow strength in the air. He had previously been dodged by the Tyrant, causing the staff to hit the metal armor on its shoulder because his body was suspended in the air, and he didn't have time to change the staff's trajectory!
However, Li Chenzhou's retreat, although it took him out of the giant Tyrant's mace attack range, also sent him into the zombie horde.
Instantly, countless enhanced zombies pounced on Li Chenzhou. And looking at their movements, they weren't trying to attack Li Chenzhou, but to trap him.
"Damn it!"
Li Chenzhou cursed inwardly. He knew this must be the work of the guy controlling the zombie horde!
This guy must be able to see their fight and was adjusting at any time. And his goal was obvious: to target him and Grizzly.
Other survivors were also frantically attacking the zombie horde, but the zombie horde didn't attack the buildings they were hiding in. They were all coming for Li Chenzhou.
Just as the zombie horde swarmed towards Li Chenzhou, wanting to trap him and let the giant Tyrant kill him, Li Chenzhou suddenly released War Fog.
This talent ability, although seemingly ineffective against the giant Tyrant, was perfectly effective against these enhanced zombies.
Because Li Chenzhou's level and attributes had been greatly improved, the range of the War Fog had reached thirty meters, expanding the radius by five meters (previously a ten-meter radius).
As soon as the War Fog appeared, those enhanced zombies immediately became deaf and blind, unable to smell anything. They couldn't locate Li Chenzhou's position.
But they didn't stop like the previous zombies. Instead, they began to scurry around like headless flies, waving their arms everywhere. No matter what they grabbed, they immediately hugged it tightly.
"Huh?"
Seeing this, Li Chenzhou suddenly realized that although these enhanced zombies had lost their senses, their mental strength wasn't affected. So they were still under that guy's control.
In that case, the big guy could ignore his War Fog because he was locking onto him with his mental strength? This was actually a mental-type Tyrant?
Thinking that this guy could still fight normally even without a head, Li Chenzhou felt that his guess was very close. Unfortunately, despite guessing the reason, Li Chenzhou still couldn't think of a way to kill that guy...
