Chapter 673: Chapter 275 Starfire Prairie_2
The rooftop was flat, perfect for landing a helicopter. There were no Giant Zombies here to threaten the aircraft, and with the engines now shut off, the noise had ceased, causing the zombies below to quickly disperse.
The Night Demon’s Nest was in the neighboring building. They could have landed the helicopter directly on that building, but to avoid any accidents, it was better to be cautious.
There were quite a few zombies inside this building as well, but none of them were strong. Not even a single Level 3 Zombie was found, and Wang Tao and his companions easily cleared them out down to the first floor. However, slaughtering these zombies did not increase Wang Tao’s HP by even a drop.
By then, most of the zombies attracted by the helicopter downstairs had already dispersed. After killing some more zombies, Wang Tao finally proceeded to the building with the Night Demon’s Nest.
There were quite a few plants inside the Night Demon’s Nest, and using Plant Affinity Perception, Wang Tao roughly estimated that there were over fifty Night Demons present.
That wasn’t a small number, and Wang Tao even considered leaving these Night Demons so he could return later with Ding Yuqin and others to farm HP.
But after some thought, he decided against it. Wuyang City was too dangerous, now even more than before. If they were to alarm the Giant Zombies and get flanked from the outside, it would be difficult to escape.
It was better to eradicate them completely.
Once inside the building, the quietness was almost palpable, and it was pitch-dark. Neither Yang Changhong nor He Jijun could see clearly.
This building was inhabited only by Night Demon Zombies, and since they were located on the upper floors, it was quiet and relatively safe below.
After distributing a large number of ultraviolet illumination flares to everyone, they had just ascended the stairs when Wang Tao sensed the approach of a Night Demon.
Wang Tao gave a warning. He wasn’t wearing the Entangling Roots, just a suit, holding a Bone Knife as he went to meet it.
His previous hoodie outfit was damaged, and the only clothes he had on hand that he could wear was this Combat Suit. But he was also equipped with the Black Stone Armor Set inside the suit, so there was no need to worry about his defensive power.
A Night Demon suddenly appeared at the stairwell, its pallid eyes fixated dead on Wang Tao and his group.
[Level: Level 3 Elite]
An Ordinary Level 3 Elite Night Demon. Upon seeing Wang Tao, it didn’t think twice; with a guttural roar, it immediately lunged toward them.
Wang Tao lifted his Bone Knife and struck the oncoming Night Demon square on the head.
In mid-air, the Night Demon was cleaved in half by Wang Tao’s strike—killed instantly!
He Jijun and Yang Changhong, who were in the process of throwing ultraviolet illumination flares, gasped in shock.
They couldn’t see the damage numbers, but they did see Wang Tao chop off the Night Demon’s head with a single blow!
Was this the might of a Level 4?
Wang Tao was not surprised; as a general rule, HP was linked to strength. Thirty thousand HP represented the weakest Level 3, so it was normal for him to kill it in one hit.
Wang Tao glanced at his own HP bar.
Killing a Level 3 Elite Night Demon increased his HP by 250… Although that was far too little, it was better than nothing. After all, he was already Level 4, so gaining any HP from defeating a zombie lower than his own level was already fortunate.
After the death of this Night Demon, many more burst forth, ranging from 30,000 to 80,000 HP.
Wang Tao battled, wielding his Bone Knife.
Facing Level 3 Elite Zombies, he naturally didn’t need to use Awakening. His robust physical condition alone was a flurry of one-sided slaughter.
After slaying this wave of Night Demons, something occurred to Wang Tao, and an object resembling a heart appeared in his hand.
With a mere thought, a tall Night Demon Type 1 manifested!
Wang Tao immediately issued a command for it to kill all the Night Demons present.
The Night Demon Type 1 dashed and vanished into the incoming second wave of the Night Demon Group.
The other Night Demons seemed confused by the sight of this black Night Demon, mistaking it for one of their own, only to be brutally beaten and slaughtered upon its charge!
“This Night Demon Type 1 is pretty strong!”
Wang Tao assessed. While not as strong as a Level 4, Lord Night Demon, the Night Demon Type 1 was much more powerful than a Level 3, Lord! Its physical condition might be almost comparable to Wang Tao’s own.
Thus, these Level 3 Elite Night Demons didn’t stand a chance.
The problem with both Wang Tao and the Night Demon Type 1, however, was their meager HP of just 10,000. Wang Tao was still fine, knowing how to dodge attacks and prioritize his safety.
But the Night Demon Type 1 fought recklessly. Even though the Ordinary Night Demons couldn’t inflict much damage on it, with enough strikes, its HP still began to whittle down… Such was the downside of lacking intelligence.
After roughly testing its strength, Wang Tao had it retreat to stand by Yang Changhong and He Jijun for protection, while he once more plunged into the midst of the Night Demon Group.
Having slain a few more Night Demon Zombies, Wang Tao suddenly felt like he was being targeted. He immediately looked up to see, at the top of the stairs, a Night Demon clad in Black Bone Armor!
“There it is, a Level 4 Night Demon!”
[Mana: 100000/100000]
[Grade: Level 4 – Lord]
Wang Tao’s figure flashed, and he appeared beside the Black Skin Night Demon, landing a blade to its head.
The Black Skin Night Demon had high defense, and Wang Tao’s knife only caused 5,000 damage to its HP.
After being struck, the Black Skin Night Demon clawed at Wang Tao’s chest in an instant.
