Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 1088: Chapter 437: Dark Fog Zombie_2 Chapter 1088: Chapter 437: Dark Fog Zombie_2 However, this Black Fog Zombie had a thick pool of HP, a total of three hundred thousand blood, and could not be taken lightly.

“Prepare for battle, throw out all the flares!”

Ultraviolet illumination flares were common items in everyone’s packs, useful both against Night Demons and for lighting.

Swish—

Several flares were instantly ignited, but surprisingly, the light they emitted was very dim!

The previous flares were like little suns, not just Night Demons, even humans couldn’t stare directly at them. But now, the flares they held were like tiny candles, barely allowing them to see their nearby comrades…

“Even the light from the ultraviolet illumination flares can be blocked…”

Wang Tao frowned, but as long as they could see their surroundings and not attack their own people, it was fine.

“Hehe…”

As the group lit the flares, they immediately caught the attention of that fat zombie inside the cave.

It roared softly, and the zombies here were instantly activated; some stood up, others turned around, and with their pale eyes, they intensely stared at Wang Tao and his group.

“…I think I understand the purpose of this black mist now.”

Wang Tao had thought that this “Dark Mist” awakening was very mediocre, but seeing the state of the zombies in the cave at this moment, he suddenly understood—this black mist could turn day into night, and zombies at night were particularly berserk!

“Everyone be careful, this Zombie Lord doesn’t seem very strong, but these Ordinary and Elite zombies are strong, all of them are berserk zombies of the night!”

Wang Tao immediately voiced a warning.

And before he had finished speaking, those zombies had already rushed over.

The group could not see clearly what was happening deep inside the cave, but they could distinctly feel a fierce aura emanating from within.

“We’ll go hunt the Lord, you guys draw these zombies outside!”

Wang Tao wasn’t sure about the Combat Power of this Level 5 Monster Lord, but these black mists acted like a buff that enhanced the zombies; it was difficult to kill the rest until this Lord was taken down.

To be safe, Wang Tao instructed them to draw the other zombies outside the cave because it was too dark here, and if that Black Fog Zombie could increase the black mist, they would be completely unable to see.

“Okay!”

The group responded.

Wang Tao, along with Jiang Shixue, charged at the Black Fog Zombie Lord from both sides.

The closer they got to the Black Fog Zombie, the denser the black mist became. When they reached near the Black Fog Zombie, the flare probably couldn’t even emit light. But for Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue, this was no issue.

Bang!

[-10283]

[-1028]

[…]

Wang Tao’s slash only inflicted just over ten thousand damage; the defense of the Level 5 Monster Lord was indeed strong.

Jiang Shixue also swung twice, dealing damage similar to Wang Tao’s.

This Black Fog Zombie Lord was clearly not adept at speed, reacting only after being attacked repeatedly by Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue, and it roared fiercely at Wang Tao.

Then Wang Tao saw a thick cloud of black mist surround him.

If it had been anyone else, they would probably have been completely blinded by now, but for Wang Tao, it was utterly useless; though the mist was truly dense, and even his Night Vision was somewhat limited, albeit he still had Mental Detection!

With Wang Tao’s Mental Detection fully deployed, it was like having a god’s view, with everything around clear in Wang Tao’s mind!

Whoosh—

Wang Tao disappeared from the spot, and a fat and fierce claw swiped where he had just been, clearly missing its target.

When Wang Tao reappeared, he was already on the other side of the fat zombie. Meanwhile, his hand produced a blazing fireball.

Go!

Boom—

[-20412]

[-2041]

[…]

As the zombie turned its head to look at Wang Tao, the fireball instantly smashed into its face.

The damage from the fireball was lower than Wang Tao had expected; did this Black Fog Zombie not have an Ice attribute?

But whether it had the Ice attribute or not didn’t matter—wait a minute!

Wang Tao suddenly thought of Little Bing and immediately shouted.

“Little Bing, come here!”

Little Bing, who was fighting and retreating with others, immediately abandoned the enemy at hand and agilely ran toward Wang Tao.

Little Bing could also see in the dark. While Wang Tao dodged attacks from zombies, Little Bing climbed onto Wang Tao’s shoulder.

“Freeze it!”

Upon Wang Tao’s command, Little Bing immediately spewed a white cold stream from its mouth, instantly spraying it on the Black Fog Zombie.

[-2212]

[-2073]

[-1823]

[…]

The damage Little Bing dealt to the Black Fog Zombie was very low, and it was still diminishing. However, the zombie’s speed visibly slowed down, allowing Jiang Shixue to take the opportunity to cut it several times.

Wang Tao didn’t rush to attack. He let Little Bing continue freezing the Black Fog Zombie while he charged up another fireball.

When he found an opening, he directly threw the fireball at the Black Fog Zombie’s face.

Boom——

[-41843]

[-8368]

[…]

A damage number over 40,000 floated above the Black Fog Zombie’s head.

“That really worked!”

Wang Tao was instantly overjoyed.

After seeing the Fusion Awakening of Little Bing and Little Huo, he had been thinking if he himself could coordinate with Little Bing, since he was also a Fire Awakened. However, he had not found an opportunity to test this theory.

Now, after a test, he found it indeed viable!

HHis previous fireball had only exploded for over 20,000 HP of the Black Fog Zombie, but now this fireball had blasted the zombie’s HP by 40,000!

No, it was more than 40,000. Wang Tao noticed another difference from before. His previous fireball had blasted 20,000 HP of the Black Fog Zombie and caused burn damage, the first three occurrences of burning damage being the highest, each at 2,000 HP, which was 10% of the fireball’s damage, so altogether 26,000 HP of damage.

This time, however, the fireball not only blasted 40,000 HP but the burning damage wasn’t just over 4,000; it was over 8,000! That’s an increase to 20%! Similarly, there were three occurrences of burning damage, but a total of 67,000 HP damage!

That meant Wang Tao’s total damage had increased by 2.5 times compared to before!

Wang Tao instantly felt he found the knack—if he needed high damage output in the future, he could coordinate with Little Bing!

This could be considered their “Fusion Technique,” he guessed.

However, this move wasn’t without any drawbacks. The Black Fog Zombie was initially slowed by Little Bing, but Wang Tao’s fireball instantly dispelled its slow status!

Moreover, flames were still burning on its body. Though the fire’s damage wasn’t high anymore, only the initial three burns were severe, and Little Bing couldn’t freeze the zombie again.

“This means, this Fusion Technique can only be used once in a short time…”

When Wang Tao had watched Little Bing and Little Huo use their Fusion Awakening earlier, they had instant-killed zombies, so Wang Tao hadn’t anticipated this situation.

Nevertheless, this Fusion Technique with Little Bing was still good, and it could be used as a trump card.

While Wang Tao mused, he didn’t stop his actions and continued to cooperate with Jiang Shixue to attack the Black Fog Zombie.

This Level 5 Black Fog Zombie Lord had thicker HP, but its attack, defense, and speed capabilities were not outstanding. Moreover, Wang Tao hadn’t seen it use any special abilities. He felt it was easier to handle than the previously encountered Fourth-rank Frozen Zombie Lord!

But on second thought, that seemed reasonable because this zombie’s strongest ability was to obscure light with black fog. If it had not been Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue but others who came to attack it, they probably couldn’t even get close due to the sheer darkness—completely invisible, and flares were useless!

In such pitch-black conditions, if they were attacked by countless berserk Level 4 and 5 zombies, the consequences could be dire!

Boom——

[-42256]

[-8450]

[-6743]

[0/300000]

After seeing all the heat disappear from the Black Fog Zombie’s body, Wang Tao let Little Bing spray ice one more time, then a fireball wiped out the Black Fog Zombie’s HP bar!

Swoosh——

A pile of items burst out.
