56: Zombie King

"I don't know. I don't have X-ray vision. I just feel an extraordinary aura here."

Hou Fatty shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

"Let's go in and see."

Li Changkong nodded and casually walked into a cave.

According to Hou Fatty, these caves were all connected.

That meant entering one cave would lead them to their final destination.

The cave was very dim, but luckily, Li Changkong had brought a luminous pearl.

Only under the pearl's illumination could they barely make out the surroundings.

This cave was clearly naturally formed, so there were no traces of human alteration on its walls.

Li Changkong didn't think much of it and quickly ventured deeper into the cave.

After walking for a while, they still hadn't found any trace of monsters.

Hou Fatty followed closely behind Li Changkong, afraid that some danger might appear.

Although he could sense the Treasure Trove, he couldn't sense where the danger lay.

After they continued forward for a bit, they finally heard some faint, rustling sounds.

Upon hearing this sound, both of them instantly became alert.

"Oh, what's this?"

Hou Fatty lost his footing and fell to the ground.

Using the faint light, he then noticed that what tripped him was a mummified corpse.

The appearance of the ghastly mummified corpse instantly scared Hou Fatty into taking a step back.

But at this moment, they realized that the ground in the distance was entirely covered with mummified corpses.

The mummified corpses all looked similar, all appearing to have had their blood drained.

From the expressions on these mummified corpses, one could tell that they must have been extremely in pain before they died.

These mummified corpses were piled up like mountains, appearing to be many years old.

Just as the two were horrified, a dark shadow suddenly darted out from the darkness.

Facing the sudden attack, Li Changkong was already prepared.

As the shadow rushed over, he immediately dodged, narrowly avoiding the first attack.

However, the opponent's strength was clearly terrifying; even with his Holy Shield active, Li Changkong could only barely block it.

After dodging this attack, the shadow did not stop its assault; instead, it quickened its pace.

It attacked Li Changkong several times, and Li Changkong quickly widened the distance.

Under the illumination of the luminous pearl, Li Changkong finally saw the opponent's appearance.

The enemy before him was actually a zombie with a green face and fangs.

Its withered skin seemed to lack any vitality.

The zombie's eyes were fixed on Li Changkong, showing nothing but greed.

Facing the enemy before him, Li Changkong naturally wouldn't just surrender.

"Oh my goodness, what kind of monster is this? It's a bit too terrifying."

Hou Fatty also gasped when he saw the monster before him.

Li Changkong didn't hesitate and immediately summoned Black Flame.

The zombie's strength had already reached boss Rank, posing a significant threat to Li Changkong.

From the purple light emanating from the zombie's body, it could be determined that this zombie was also a purple boss.

Hou Fatty was already scared and had hidden to the side; in this situation, he didn't dare to offer any help.

Noticing Hou Fatty's fear, Li Changkong didn't ask him to intervene.

"You go stand aside for now. If you're too close, it will affect my performance."

Li Changkong glanced at the fat man and said calmly.

The fat man was a bit displeased to hear this, not expecting Li Changkong to look down on him.

But thinking about the terrifying nature of the monster before them, he still retreated to the side.

The next second, Li Changkong and the Yao Beast began to fight.

Black Flame naturally stood at the forefront, while Li Changkong hid behind Black Flame, continuously unleashing various attacks.

However, the opponent's strength was clearly more terrifying than Li Changkong had imagined.

Within a few rounds, Black Flame's body was heavily slammed to the side.

Only then did Li Changkong realize that there was indeed a fundamental gap in strength between the two sides.

After Black Flame was knocked back, the opponent still didn't stop its movements; instead, it fought with even greater ferocity.

It leaped, immediately flying to Black Flame's side.

Before Li Changkong could react, it began to devour the blood within Black Flame's body in large gulps.

On the zombie's originally withered corpse, streaks of red Bloodline had already appeared.

These Bloodline continuously poured massive amounts of blood into the zombie's body.

The originally Rank 30 boss reached Rank 31 in the blink of an eye.

The moment he saw Black Flame injured, Li Changkong immediately summoned the summoning array.

He wanted to put Black Flame into the summoning array to recover first.

But who would have thought that the summoning array, which had always worked perfectly, seemed to have completely failed at this moment.

It appeared for a moment, then disappeared back into the Void Realm.

Perhaps due to the boss's suppression, Black Flame couldn't enter the array at all.

Realizing this, Li Changkong's skills shot out like a barrage of cannonballs.

But this zombie's armor and magic resistance were more terrifying than he had imagined.

Facing these continuous attacks, its health barely dropped.

This indicated that Li Changkong's attacks had no effect at all.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could such a thing happen?"

Li Changkong's eyes narrowed, and a hint of panic appeared in his gaze.

As the Yao Beast's Rank increased, Black Flame's Rank was rapidly decreasing.

From his condition, it was clear that he was becoming increasingly weak.

"Damn it, Blood Sacrifice!"

At this moment, Li Changkong instantly made up his mind.

Even if it meant sacrificing his own Rank, he had to save Black Flame.

As the Blood Sacrifice began, his Rank quickly dropped by two levels.

These two levels of Rank allowed Li Changkong's attribute points to directly double.

His original strength value of around two hundred had now surged to six hundred, and his spirit also reached around five hundred.

"Holy Light Spell!"

A white light enveloped Black Flame, and his rapidly decreasing health instantly recovered.

The intensity of the Holy Light Spell itself was directly proportional to spirit, so Li Changkong's ability to cast the Holy Light Spell in a Blood Sacrifice state was naturally extraordinary.

In addition to restoring Black Flame's condition, it also released Black Flame from his suppressed state.

Black Flame, who had originally lost consciousness, now regained his awareness.
