Chapter 175 - 175: Activation Technique
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-
On the walls, biscuit soldiers and bread soldiers were firing arrows. The rain of arrows shot at the monsters seemed even more terrifying than the arrow towers on either side.
Whoosh- Boom!
Miniature catapults, only palm-sized, were shooting pebble-sized projectiles. These pebbles, whenever they hit a monster, would leave a bloody hole. Some ordinary level-one zombies were instantly killed if hit in the head.
“Such power! We might have succeeded in creating one even without uniting,” Song Jian murmured, stroking his chin.
Turning his head, Song Jian asked the Baker Master Pig, “Could you teach me the spell you just chanted? 1 can pay tuition!”
“Sorry, this is our Gnome bloodline magic, the Animation spell. Without Gnome blood, it cannot be learned,” Baker Master Pig replied earnestly.
“Animation spell, is it that amazing?” said Song Jian, unable to hide his surprise.
At that moment, Song Jian saw that the safety house based on the fruit shop had various kinds of fruits standing on the walls.
Pineapples, lemons, pomegranates, apples, watermelons, pears…
All kinds of fruits, with tiny arms and legs supporting their large bodies, looked somewhat comical. Just like the bread soldiers and biscuit soldiers, they were attacking the monsters outside the wall.
Pomegranate soldiers were spitting pomegranate seeds as if they were machine guns. Groups of apples, pears, and lemons were holding hands and flinging their companions toward the horde of monsters. The thrown fruits exploded like bombs, clearing large areas.
It was comical to see the watermelon. It was too heavy for any fruits to lift, so it had to bounce off the wall and fall into the monstrosity. A thunderous boom followed, and a red and green mushroom cloud rose.
In the tea shop, cups of tea were animated. The wall was filled with cups of teas, thick as arms, their straws continuously spraying tea. The milk tea, once it touched the monsters, seemed more formidable than sulfuric acid. The monsters covered in it silently dissolved into pus, not even leaving a complete corpse behind.
On the wall of the convenience store stood a row of plastic soldiers. Animated children’s toys, even tanks and planes, rushed out of the safety house and fired at the monsters.
“This is just like a fairy tale!” Song Jian chuckled at what he was seeing. The monsters were being beaten so badly by these comical soldiers they couldn’t even lift their heads. It was just like the game Plants vs. Zombies, with the monsters unable to approach the safety house.
Time flew quickly. An hour later, the numbers of monsters were dropping fast. The levels of Yin Bo and the three others all rose to level nine. It seemed that, by the time the safety house was completed, the four could very well reach level ten.
Just then, the ground began to tremble slightly. A zombie that looked like a mountain of flesh slowly walked toward the safety house. Every step it took made the ground shudder.
“Brother Song, the BOSS… the BOSS is here. It’s up to you now.” Yin Bo looked at the BOSS in the distance and uttered with fear.
Song Jian looked rather disturbed by the five-meter-tall and six-meter-wide BOSS lumbering in the distance. It was no longer walking, but more like a big meatbail dragging itself over.
On its way, regardless of the number of monsters in front of it, it would absorb them into its body, making them part of itself. Its body surface still had many zombies that had not been completely dissolved. Some were two legs sticking out; some were an arm; some were half a body. From afar, it looked like a trash mountain.
The worst part was that the BOSS stank tremendously. Before it came close, Song Jian could already smell its horrible stench.
“Zoomers could probably be the only ones to attack it. Meleers would all run away from it!” Song Jian muttered, frowning.
[LVio Corrosive Zombie Garmore] (Elite), Vitality Points: 1600/3200, Traits: Super Vitality, Super Smell, Skills: Devouring Dissolution, Poison Splash.
Three thousand two hundred vitality points was higher than most of the level ten elite BOSSes, but thankfully it was daytime so its attributes were halved. Even then, one thousand six hundred vitality points were still higher than regular level ten elite BOSSes.
Considering its skills, it probably also had the ability to attack from a distance. Song Jian didn’t dare to let it get close. He immediately lifted his rocket launcher; there was no need to aim with the Eye of the Heart. Firing blindly ahead would hit the BOSS, as its movement speed was much slower than ordinary zombies. It could not avoid the attack at all.
Whoosh-
A rocket shell left a trace in the air as it moved towards the BOSS.
As expected, even if the BOSS saw the rocket headed at it, it couldn’t dodge and had to stand there as the rocket hit it square in the chest.
Boom-
The rocket performed an explosion. Suddenly, a large pit appeared on the BOSS’S body, along with countless pus mixed with fragments of undissolved monsters scattered everywhere.
An critical hit dealt with more than a hundred damage came out of the top of the BOSS’S head.
Roar-
A sharp screech came from the BOSS’S mouth as the pus flowed from its body to fill the hole in its chest.
The BOSS’S eyes were fixed on Song Jian standing on the wall of the safety house, as if it wanted to swallow him in one gulp.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-
On the wall, miniature catapults were also firing towards the BOSS, but the pebble-sized projectiles, no matter how powerful, didn’t do much damage to the BOSS, causing only about ten points of damage.
But seven or eight catapults could deal almost a hundred points of damage at once. If it weren’t for the slow firing speed of the catapults, Yin Bo might have had a chance to grind this level ten elite BOSS to death.
The BOSS looked at Song Jian and suddenly began to inhale, its body swelling up even more. Song Jian felt something was wrong. Before he could fire the second rocket, he quickly jumped off the wall and pulled Yin Bo, who was standing next to him, down at the same time.
“Brother Song, what’s going on?” Yin Bo was puzzled.
Plop-
A stream of pus was sprayed from the BOSS’S mouth like a water truck, spraying towards the wall.
The bread soldiers and biscuit soldiers on the wall, as well as their war machines, were all melting like ice under a fiery sun. In a short time, only a puddle of pale green, fishy fluid remained on the wall.
The wall itself was also slowly being corroded, becoming crumbly and having its defense reduced.
“This… this is too powerful,” Yin Bo looked up at the green smoke still billowing from the pus on the wall and uttered in shock and trembling.
“This BOSS is quite tricky!” After saying that, Song Jian jumped back on the wall, aimed at the BOSS, pulled the trigger, and a rocket shell whizzed at it.
