62: Is she giving birth to baby zombies?
The moment the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King broke out of the coffin, he didn't attack Bai Tian or Flowers in Full Bloom. Instead, he roared and transformed into a dazzling golden light, slamming violently into the white stone coffin.
The talismans and chains on the white stone coffin instantly burst apart. The stone coffin shattered, and out stepped a female zombie in ancient dress with icy skin and jade bones, ten months pregnant.
—[Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King]!
(Demon-grade Second Transfer BOSS)
Level: 31
HP: 4.6 Million
Attack: 9,689
Dual Defense: 3,600
Skills: Advanced Life Leach, Eye of Charm, Divine Curse.
Despite being a zombie, this Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King was quite delicate and beautiful.
The sharp fangs within her red lips even had a hint of cuteness, like little tiger teeth.
However, her most striking feature was her rounded, pregnant belly.
The Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King, rescued by the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King, didn't seem to pose any immediate threat.
As soon as she appeared, she fell to the ground in pain, screaming incessantly while clutching her pregnant belly tightly with both hands, struggling in agony.
Brocade watched this scene in surprise and guessed, "Brilliant, is this female zombie king about to give birth?"
Bai Tian also widened his eyes and nodded. "It looks like it."
At this moment, the Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King's screams became even more shrill. She scratched deep claw marks into the ground, venting her pain.
Meanwhile, the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King squatted anxiously beside her, making loud, strange "squeaking and humming" noises.
Seeing this, both Bai Tian and Brocade felt it was quite bizarre, leaving them both a bit unsure of how to proceed.
Although they knew it was just a game, attacking the two BOSSes at this time felt somewhat immoral.
Brocade bit her silver teeth and suggested, "Why don't we wait for her to give birth to the little zombie before we strike? There's no quest time limit anyway."
Bai Tian agreed with the idea; he also felt a bit reluctant to attack now.
However, while Bai Tian and Brocade were hesitating, the Ancestral Return Strange Horse was eager to try. After letting out a long neigh, it reared up on its hind legs, preparing to launch its skill—[Frost Breath]—at the two zombie kings.
Just as Bai Tian was about to stop the Ancestral Return Strange Horse, the Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King lying in the distance suddenly rolled over, as if sensing something.
She raised her head in pain, her gaze becoming sharp as she locked onto the Ancestral Return Strange Horse.
The eyes of the originally delicate Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King suddenly glowed with an eerie light, shooting directly into the eyes of the Ancestral Return Strange Horse.
Instantly, the Ancestral Return Strange Horse's prepared skill was forcibly interrupted. Its horse face became vacant, and its limbs slowly walked toward the Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King.
A system notification sounded in Bai Tian's ear.
—"(Ding-dong!)"
"(Your mount has been hit by the Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King's skill [Eye of Charm] and has temporarily lost control."
Bai Tian was startled and quickly waved the green wave pure lotus splendor, releasing—[Nebula Spirit Refining Art].
A purifying light enveloped Bai Tian, Brocade, and the Ancestral Return Strange Horse.
The charmed Ancestral Return Strange Horse finally regained its senses. Letting out a frightened cry, it quickly ran back to its master, Bai Tian.
After the skill was dispelled, the Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King roared in anger and pain, her eyes filled with resentment toward Bai Tian.
At the same time, the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King also looked at Bai Tian with shared enmity. His hideous mouth revealed sharp zombie fangs as he exhaled a puff of foul-smelling white mist.
"It seems we have to fight even if we don't want to."
Brocade moved her elegant figure. Gripping the blade of slaughter tightly, she prepared for passive combat.
Sure enough, a moment later, the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King roared, the ground cracked, and he leaped up, pouncing toward Bai Tian like a gale.
Brocade reacted quickly, rushing out like a dark shadow and sharply releasing a control skill against the pouncing Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King.
However, [Control Invalid!]
[Damage: -9,181!]
As a Demon-grade BOSS, the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King had extremely high resistance and completely ignored the effects of Brocade's control skill.
Moreover, this was the first time Bai Tian had seen Brocade's critical hit fail to trigger.
But the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King was clearly aiming for Bai Tian. After taking Brocade's hit, he didn't stop, his zombie claws stabbing toward Bai Tian's throat like steel pitchforks.
Bai Tian remained calm. With a wave of his hand, he released a geometrically multiplied [Cold Abyss Shield].
An invisible black-and-white air shield surrounded Bai Tian's body like a solid barrier.
The Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King's attack struck the Cold Abyss Shield fiercely.
[Absorbed Critical Damage: -16,324!]
[80x Rebound: -1.306 Million!]
—"Awoo!"
The Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King, who had attacked Bai Tian, let out an angry howl of pain as 1.306 million of his HP was instantly rebounded away.
Stunned by this massive wound, he immediately tried to retreat.
However, the moment he prepared to retreat, the Ancestral Return Strange Horse had already launched an attack.
[Frost Breath] was like a freezing wind in winter, surging toward the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King with extremely cold energy.
[Magic Damage: -1,797!]
[Frost Control Invalid!]
However, since Bai Tian and the horse were not currently under the buffed state of the maximum Cold Abyss Blessing...
The Ancestral Return Strange Horse's magic damage was not as high as expected. A single Frost Breath only took away less than two thousand HP from the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King.
At that moment, Brocade took the opportunity to attack from behind, launching a series of strikes against the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King.
[Critical Damage: -4,666, -4,668, -4,670, -4,666!]
A series of critical damage numbers kept jumping. Brocade's four basic attacks actually took away over ten thousand HP from the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King.
The Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King tried to strike back in anger, but Brocade had already anticipated it. With a beautiful sideways maneuver, she successfully dodged the attack.
Seeing the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King falling into a disadvantage, the Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King, who was giving birth in the back, let out an urgent, angry roar.
Hearing this sound, the corpse energy on the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King became even more intense. He suddenly stomped on the ground and flew into the air, avoiding the combined attack of Bai Tian and Brocade.
The Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King clearly possessed considerable intelligence, seemingly knowing that Bai Tian was like a porcupine that couldn't be touched.
Brocade was too flexible to be easily caught.
Only the Ancestral Return Strange Horse was a soft target.
This time, the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King locked his target onto the mount, the Ancestral Return Strange Horse. With a "whoosh," he turned into a dazzling golden light and charged toward it.
However, Bai Tian smiled. He immediately mounted the horse, entering the mounted state with the Ancestral Return Strange Horse.
—"Boom!"
The Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King activated his Flying Corpse Descent skill, slamming directly into Bai Tian, who was riding on the Ancestral Return Strange Horse's back.
The Flying Corpse Descent skill seemed to be one that, once activated, could not be retracted.
With a loud "boom," the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King crashed into Bai Tian on the back of the Ancestral Return Strange Horse.
Both Bai Tian and the horse were knocked back five or six meters by this ferocious strike.
[Absorbed Damage: -24,486!]
[80x Rebound: 1.959 Million!]
—"Ow!"
The Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King let out a heart-wrenching scream. A large amount of white corpse blood erupted from his body as he fell heavily backward.
Having originally had 4 million HP, he now had only 714,000 left, his life force draining rapidly.
Bai Tian had refrained from using the maximum Cold Abyss Blessing all along just to wait for this moment of high Rebound effect.
At this moment, the Hundred-Year Yin Corpse King in the back also let out a shriek. It was impossible to tell if it was because of the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King's defeat or the intense pain of childbirth.
Just as the Hundred-Year Yang Corpse King struggled to get up again and Bai Tian and Brocade prepared to launch another attack, an astonishing scene occurred.
