Fang Yuxin faced a Defense Enhancement Zombie this time, and it was evidently quite troublesome. If it had been anyone else, it might have taken some effort to kill it. Sadly for the creature, it had encountered her, Fang Yuxin.
Even Fang Yuxin was initially at a loss, but soon, she came up with an idea!
The Mutant Zombie was shrouded in a thick aura of death, and the pure vitality in her Wood Element Spiritual Energy was the natural nemesis of such deathly energy!
With this realization, Fang Yuxin clenched the handle of her blade, allowing Wood Energy to flow from her palms into the handle and gradually spread towards the blade. In an instant, the entire blade was enveloped. A thin layer of green Wood Energy wrapped around the black blade, giving it a sinister appearance. The moment the Wood Energy appeared, the Mutant Zombie retreated instantly, its dead gray eyes glaring at Fang Yuxin as if it were facing a formidable enemy, clearly wary of her.
Fang Yuxin curled her lips into a smile and, as the Mutant Zombie lunged at her again, she swung her blade forcefully, slicing from the bottom up through the zombie’s arm. She simultaneously kicked out, striking the zombie’s lower abdomen hard and sending it staggering backward.
This time, her blade easily broke through the defense of the Mutant Zombie, and it howled in agony. If it hadn’t retreated so fast, its hands would have already been severed by Fang Yuxin.
Fang Yuxin clicked her tongue in disappointment. Just as she was about to press her advantage, the Mutant Zombie, after howling, suddenly swelled up, its body inflating grotesquely.
Its clothes, already filthy and tattered, were stretched to the limit by the swelling and ripped apart even more than a beggar’s garb, looking like a piece of performance art.
Fang Yuxin noticed that its skin had turned into a strange gel-like substance, with wounds sealing tightly as though healing.
Her brows furrowed, and she enveloped her blade in an even thicker layer of Wood Energy. The dead gray eyes of the Mutant Zombie flickered, beholding the Wood Energy on the blade and retreating in fear. However, its gaze then locked onto Fang Yuxin, and a glint of greed shone through the lifeless eyes, unwilling to relinquish such a delectable feast.
So, it quickly charged at Fang Yuxin again, its claws, sharper than those of regular zombies, reaching for her without restraint. The claws were extremely sharp and shimmered with a dark gleam; Fang Yuxin was certain that a single scratch could easily tear off a chunk of flesh.
Thus, before the Mutant Zombie could reach her, she had already swung her blade. This time she used all her strength, and with the Wood Energy countering the zombie’s deathly aura, she easily cut through its outer defenses. However, as the blade penetrated deeper, she felt more resistance.
Fang Yuxin clenched her teeth and gripped the handle tightly, swinging the blade down to sever the zombie’s claws.
The zombie, gravely wounded, howled even louder, yet it continued to thrust its broken bones at Fang Yuxin. She leaped to the side, sprung off the ground, and without a moment’s hesitation, she brought her blade down with full force toward the zombie’s head.
With her previous experience, this time was much smoother.
The blade enveloped in Wood Energy dashed through and she twisted her wrist, prying out the Crystal Core.
The zombie, devoid of its Crystal Core, was dead beyond doubt, its heavy body crashing to the ground without making much noise. The peculiar gel-like skin was elastic, cushioning the impact of the fall.
She pocketed the Crystal Core and instinctively looked toward her family. Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe had taken care of another Mutant Zombie and were now hunting the remaining regular zombies, meanwhile, Fang Yuyang had also finished off his opponent.
Speed Mutant Zombies might be fast, but their defense was negligible. Once their speed advantage was lost, they were much easier to deal with.
Soon, all the zombies were dispatched, but they didn’t relax completely. Gazing at the three Mutant Zombies on the ground, everyone’s expression was solemn.
Yesterday, they had encountered just two Mutant Zombies, but today, before they even entered the city, they had already stumbled upon three. Was this a streak of bad luck, or were Mutant Zombies becoming more common?
Qu Qianhe silently burnt the zombies’ corpses, and Chen Qiao’s group looked at the Fang Family with a heavy heart. Their strength wasn’t sufficient for now; if they encountered more Mutant Zombies, they probably wouldn’t be able to cope!
