Qin He is about to make a fortune from this.
"Roar--!"
The zombie horde realized that most of the attacks that caused their casualties came from the upper floors.
Immediately, all sorts of arrows, guns, and magic rained down on the building walls.
……
"Ugh! Damn it... such a dense attack. Luckily, the defensive barrier can still use that Saint-level Demon Core. Our lives are safe for now."
She suddenly had a new swift sword in her hand, which must have been prepared for her by Eruru.
With lightning and fire surging all over his body, Yan slowly walked over, carrying a half-dead peak eighth-tier expert.
"Yes, Qin He... he's really reliable!"
After making that exclamation, Erulu suddenly spotted something amidst the endless horde of zombies!
It was a figure that seemed somewhat familiar to her; it was someone from the chamber of commerce in charge of this transaction. The middle-aged woman had now turned into a zombie.
Using the detector to observe carefully, Elulu discovered that the zombie was actually carrying one of the keys of the Electronic Doom Dragon!
"Damn it! Why wasn't such an important thing as the key stored with the cargo?"
She cursed the merchant guild a thousand times in her heart, then told Qin He about the key:
"Qin He! That middle-aged female zombie in a suit carries one of the keys used to control the Electronic Doomsday Dragon!"
"We...we have to find a way to get the key from it. But with so many zombies, how are we supposed to get it..."
If you use the magic core explosion arrow to lure the zombies away, they'll leave in hordes. Finding and retrieving the key from among those departing zombie hordes will be incredibly difficult.
Using Vild's stealthy methods, she managed to retrieve the key from the zombie's hand.
No, Vild is only a lower-tier sixth-order zombie. Even setting aside the possibility of being caught in the zombie attack, how could she possibly get close amidst so many zombies?
While Mana certainly possesses the ability to levitate, if she were to actually fly towards that key... she would likely be riddled with holes by a barrage of attacks in no time.
Qin He took a deep breath, and the ninth-tier lower-level red dragon core was once again in his mouth.
"Everyone, do everything you can to clear the area around that zombie. I'm going to grab the key!"
……
"Hoshina, let's make our move now. I never expected that Qin He would actually be able to find a powerful weapon at the level of a Saint-level pseudo-dragon... In a moment, we'll use the zombie with the key to lure Qin He away from the mountain."
As high-level zombies who spread this zombie disaster, nurse Hoshina and catgirl vampire Sirius came specifically to deal with Qin He.
Although Lutafya's orders were merely to cause some trouble for Qin He.
But... Qin He is the chosen one of the dragons and monsters. If he is allowed to develop, it is hard to guarantee that the human side will not be destroyed by war in the future.
"Yes, then we'll infiltrate the building. First, we'll capture Princess Elulu... With her 'Flickering Light' weapon in hand, everything inside will be nothing but ants."
As long as Qin He can be lured away, Zhong Liuxiu will be no threat.
—At least, that's how the two zombies judged it.
……
Elulu focused her attention on the large group of zombies, intending to activate the maximum power laser mode of the extinguishing beam.
The more zombies Qin He could wipe out, the safer he would be.
Mira focused her mind and chanted incantations, amplifying the unreleased light arrows again and again.
Freya was preparing to cast a light wall or similar spell, hoping to slow down the monsters as much as possible.
Qin He handed the Phantom to Zhong Liuxiu, asking her to provide fire support.
Zhong Liuxiu was also focused, unleashing almost all of Phantom's output modes.
Mana was always ready to use her Lunar Claws to carve and kill all the zombies.
After Inanna shattered the eighth-tier magical beast in front of her, she rushed to Qin He's side to offer encouragement and blessings.
……
it's time!
Seizing the moment when the middle-aged zombie was squeezed in the middle and could hardly move... Qin He frantically mobilized the powerful energy within the Dragon Core, allowing himself to reach the peak of the seventh rank once again!
Qin He, at the peak of the seventh rank, was basically on par with three Chosen Ones of the same level. However, he believed it was best to avoid the attacks of these terrifying zombies if possible.
After all... if there was a deadly strike mixed in with the power of a peak eighth-tier expert, it would cause considerable damage to Qin He.
Although his cultivation level has improved, Qin He's dragon body is still at the lower fourth rank.
Almost the instant Qin He charged toward the zombie, countless attacks rained down.
First came the Lunar Claw, unleashed at an incredibly extreme angle. This Lunar Claw was the strongest attack Mana could unleash by releasing her own bloodline!
Its unparalleled bloodline power sliced through hordes of zombies along the way.
But... countless spells, bullets, and battle aura slashes, combined with the attacks of thrown weapons, seemed to have been anticipated and attacked Qin He!
"How could these zombies react so quickly?"
Damn it, facing an overwhelming barrage of attacks directed at him simultaneously, Qin He absolutely could not stand idly by and wait to die.
Although Mana was shocked by what she saw, she still swung her Moon Claw again with all her might, charging straight into the combined attack of the large group of zombies!
Ignoring his astonishment, the sight of the zombies launching a coordinated attack on Qin He in an instant was far too dangerous.
Without giving them time to think or react, Zhong Liuxiu immediately opened fire.
Phantom's bullets rained down like rain, determined to stop the attack targeting Qin He no matter what!
If the situation becomes truly critical, Zhong Liuxiu might use the Electronic End Dragon's peak-level magic core to summon spirits for five minutes.
In just five minutes, a powerful being at the peak of the Saint rank could slaughter all the zombies here.
However... the key may also be destroyed under the influence of the powerful force of a peak-level Saint-level magical beast.
"Qin He... I won't let anything happen to you!"
Eruru lifted the restrictions, completely unleashing the flickering laser beam mode! Through the gun's internal device, she transformed the magic energy into a laser cannon capable of burning through everything.
With a single, devastating sweep, it was like a splash of paint on a canvas. Hordes of zombies attacked, and even the buildings behind them were frantically sliced and melted by the laser beams!
At this moment, everyone was doing their best to stop the zombies from attacking Qin He.
Even with fierce fire support, it couldn't stop the zombies' deliberate and relentless attacks on Qin He.
"If you've got the guts... then come and kill me!"
With his meteorite spear in hand, Qin He once again fought in all directions. While deflecting attacks with his spear, he also swung his scythe, and the Bloodthirsty Reaper spontaneously protected its master and blocked the enemy, splashing scarlet blood among the zombie horde.
But... just at this moment, a peak eighth-tier zombie seemed to have a mind of its own, picked up the middle-aged female zombie and fled at high speed!
"what happens?"
Startled by this sudden scene, and then... seeing the zombies turning in unison, baring their fangs, Qin He realized the truth!
"Oh shit……"
"Someone is manipulating these zombies!"
Chapter 85 Retrieving the Key from a Sea of Corpses
Yes, these damned zombies were originally Lutafya's creation. The idea that they could be controlled by someone to target Qin He... he wasn't surprised at all now.
Realizing this terrifying truth, Qin He immediately transmitted his voice to Zhong Liuxiu:
"Xiuxiu! Don't worry about me, I'll kill all the zombies here... Now... gather them all together in one place immediately, and be quick!"
"These zombies are all under someone's control now. If I'm not mistaken, they're using the key to lure you away so they can attack you!"
Knowing the tense situation, Qin He disregarded his own safety and first warned Zhong Liuxiu and the other girls to be wary of the hidden hand in the shadows.
Hordes of zombies immediately charged at Qin He, completely changing their combat logic.
—Even if it meant losing a part of their bodies, they would do everything in their power to slow down Qin He's pace and injure his body as much as possible!
A black iron spear that had previously pierced the Flame-Maned Scorpion-Tailed Lion King suddenly attacked. Qin He knew... a direct confrontation would only make him more vulnerable and helpless.
Turning his spear around, Qin He, relying on his Nidhogg blood which made him immune to all poisons, charged directly into the horde of zombies. With a flurry of blows from his meteorite spear, the zombies before him were reduced to mangled pieces, scattering everywhere!
But that's not fast enough, not enough!
With another flap of his dragon wings, Qin He summoned several World Tree branches inlaid with crystal spearheads. Swinging them wildly, he used his unparalleled control to unleash impacts far exceeding their previous limits!
Forcefully pushing aside the zombies along the way, Qin He further channeled his mental power to make the branches of the World Tree surround and protect him.
Having acquired the peak power of the seventh rank, Qin He once again raised the Demon Origin Ring in his hand!
Now, Qin He has not just one Demon Origin Ring, but both of them!
"Shadow Sharp! Heavenly Strike!"
With the summoner's strength enhanced, the three much more powerful Shadow Fiends fiercely protected their master. One of them used its body as a shield, blocking the barrage of attacks before immediately disintegrating and reforming around Qin He to aid him in defeating the enemy.
A lithe and agile creature charged forward, stepping over the heads of numerous zombies, heading straight for the zombie that had escaped with the key!
The third head shattered its body, transforming into a suit of armor woven from pure demonic energy. It constantly shields Qin He from any harm that comes his way.
The three-headed Heavenly Punishment was surrounded by flashing lightning, as if it were about to unleash divine punishment upon these wicked creatures.
Knowing that the zombies possessed anti-magic abilities, they relied on their brute force to frantically kill off the zombies surrounding Qin He.
With one man and six beasts, Qin He charged forward like a thunderbolt, advancing madly under the cover of the Demonic War Beast, relentlessly pursuing the zombie carrying the key.
"Roar!!!"
At the peak of the eighth tier, a zombie red dragon hurtled towards them... It was a self-destruction! A peak eighth-tier dragon was self-destructing, exhausting all the energy within its dragon core!
"Fuck your mother... Are you going to self-destruct? Go to hell and explode then!"
Enraged, Qin He channeled his surging power and swung his spear straight at his target.
Before the zombie dragon could self-destruct, he first smashed its skull, then used the force of the gun to send the dragon core and the zombie core flying out!
With a single strike, the skull of the peak eighth-tier dragon was ripped open and its brains flew off. Qin He stored the zombie red dragon in his spatial scale, but what came next was even more zombies that intended to self-destruct!
With a flap of his wings, Qin He chose to take to the air to avoid these damned self-destructing zombies.
If they stay on the ground, the only outcome will be being killed by the endless zombies exploding themselves.
Even when airborne, Qin He would still face relentless self-destruct attacks from flying zombies and a barrage of ground fire...
"Ha...hahahahaha! Lutafia, I'll remember you."
Calm down, Qin He. Is this truly a hopeless situation?
No…absolutely not! This was nothing more than a disaster that Lutafia stirred up on a whim. If we can't even handle this little mess, how can we be compared to those people?
Yes! I've always had a choice.
Once he realized the true power he could rely on, Qin He made his move.
He manifested his dragon form and frantically tore apart the fearless, self-destructing zombies before him.
Qin He is now a silver dragon over twenty meters long. He breathes out evil flames that scorch everything... that is the power of Nidhogg.
"Die!"
Qin He, now a dragon, wielded the meteorite iron spear, which changed shape at his will, frantically sweeping away the zombies along the way. With his other hand, he drew the long-dormant Demonic Prison Blade, slaying everything in its path!
His claws, his wings, his dragon tail.
At this moment, Qin He truly began to use the blessings of life, determined to use everything in his life to slaughter every last zombie in front of him!
The vast dragon's might swept across the land, intimidating all living beings in the city.
The zombies, who should have been unaware of fear and pain and driven solely by instinct, were actually slowed down by Qin He's dragon might.
Charging recklessly through the horde of zombies, Qin He headed straight for the zombie that was trying to escape with the key at the edge of his vision.
Magic, battle aura, bullets... Qin He attacked relentlessly, tearing apart the relentless obstruction of zombies along the way, as the six demonic war beasts took turns sacrificing themselves for him.
Siris and Sena want to seize the key and take the Cyber End Dragon as the spoils of this mission.
Whether presented to Lutafia or kept for personal collection, it would be perfect.
However, they soon realized they had made a fatal mistake...
