67: Chapter 67 Decapitation Operation, Strange Corpse Men

High in the sky, Zhao Feng could even see Qin City in the distance; that square geometric shape was so distinct from up above.

As for the new Birch Forest Area base, it was much smaller than Qin City, appearing as only a tiny speck from afar.

Grayish-yellow was the main color of the landscape, with scattered patches of green concentrated near Qin City; the recovery of the land still had a long way to go.

It took about ten minutes for the Cloud-Soaring Sparrow to descend from the high altitude to a low altitude of one hundred meters, gliding and flapping its wings intermittently. The violent abdominal shaking and the frequent free-falling made Zhao Feng unable to hold it in any longer.

"Ugh!"

The vomit was blown away by the fierce wind at an even faster speed, which was even more disgusting.

The Cloud-Soaring Sparrow circled docilely in the sky for a good while before Zhao Feng regained a bit of his spirit.

Looking down, in the distance, a scattered yet collectively moving cluster of Corpse Beasts had already appeared before his eyes.

These Corpse Beasts were not concentrated together but were moving in this direction in a loose formation, which was the best possible situation for Zhao Feng.

Even with Spirit Rank strength, one would still struggle when faced with the siege of too many Corpse Beasts. The strength of an average individual on Planet of the Dead rarely exceeds the Mortal Rank stage; fundamentally speaking, Zhao Feng was a unique Spirit Rank creature.

Every major Rank is a leap in life. Mortal Rank creatures with a comprehensive strength rating of no more than 100 could hardly be opponents for Zhao Feng, whose rating had already reached over 300. It could be said that with him and his blade alone, given enough time, he could completely sweep across the world.

Epic-tier Corpse Beasts posed a great threat to the city walls, which severely affected Zhao Feng's plans.

In addition to harvesting transformation points and establishing the reputation of Qin City, training a formidable army was also one of his goals.

Soldiers would gain experience points after battles, improving the overall strength of the entire army. Besides the Mortal Rank three-stage System similar to personal combat ratings, in the army, it was actually preferred to use Bronze Three-Star, Silver Three-Star, and Gold Three-Star to evaluate them.

The personal strength of an average soldier just out of the barracks is Mortal Rank Lower-Stage. Once organized into a squad of ten, they are zero-star, and after combat, they can be upgraded to Bronze One-Star. Generally speaking, an army composed of Mortal Rank Middle-Stage soldiers is equivalent to a Mortal Rank Bronze army; those of Mortal Rank Upper-Stage are equivalent to a Mortal Rank Silver army; the Peak state between Mortal Rank and Spirit Rank is the Mortal Rank Gold army.

On Zhao Feng's System interface, such armies would have bronze, silver, or gold labels.

Of course, there were also some Silver armies participating in this operation; they were either special units or soldiers who had participated in several battles.

Out of the need for training, Zhao Feng naturally did not want his soldiers to suffer heavy losses, and raining down firepower from the city walls was undoubtedly the simplest method. Therefore, eliminating the Epic Corpse Beasts that posed a threat to the city walls was crucial.

Directly below the Cloud-Soaring Sparrow was a Violent Saber-Toothed Tiger.

The Violent Saber-Toothed Tiger was a type of giant carnivore that fed on the cubs of giant beasts like the Dragon Elephant. The Dragon Elephant was a massive creature standing ten meters tall, so the Violent Saber-Toothed Tiger, which dared to challenge the Dragon Elephant, naturally would not be small.

This was a giant beast 16 meters long and 6 meters tall at the shoulder!

Of course, after turning into a corpse, it became even clumsier than its originally not-very-agile self. Its movements were awkward, and without cover from vegetation, it was very difficult to obtain fresh meat, so it could only eat other beasts that were also Corpse Beasts.

Although eating Corpse Beasts could also slowly increase its strength, how could it compare to delicious fresh meat?

Its radar-like sensing ability allowed it to easily detect the approaching Cloud-Soaring Sparrow.

"Roar!" The Violent Saber-Toothed Tiger seemed to want to roar at the sky, but its long-dried vocal cords were clearly unable to produce a majestic sound.

A flash of snow-white blade aura!

Zhao Feng jumped down from the back of the Cloud-Soaring Sparrow with a swoosh, slashing down in one fluid motion.

The blade aura was like snow!

A blade aura over a meter long sliced diagonally into the Violent Saber-Toothed Tiger's shoulder and cut out from the other side.

The Violent Saber-Toothed Tiger's massive paw slammed down violently, trying to swat Zhao Feng into the ground.

Zhao Feng rolled on the ground, the fierce wind from the paw sweeping over his head, leaving his scalp cold; he was almost severely injured.

In front of him was the Violent Saber-Toothed Tiger's thick hind paw. Zhao Feng lightly tapped the ground with his left hand, used the leverage to leap outward, and dodged the rising hind paw once again.

The varied attacks of felines are truly formidable.

Given the massive size of the Violent Saber-Toothed Tiger, being swatted by a single paw would result in severe injury.

The Violent Saber-Toothed Tiger made a large pivot, turned around, and lunged fiercely, intending to pierce the enemy to death with its nearly two-meter-long saber teeth. It did not know that the earlier strike of the blade aura had already severed half of its neck.

With such a heavy swing, not only did it fail to pounce on the enemy, but it actually snapped its already overburdened cervical vertebrae. The tiger's head lolled crookedly to one side, and its front paws tripped over its own head, nearly causing it to fall to the ground.

Zhao Feng tapped his toes, his body rushing forward, and he thrust his blade into the saber-toothed tiger's eye socket, twisting it in one motion.

The Violent Saber-Toothed Tiger's body trembled as if electrocuted, then with a boom, it collapsed to the ground, kicking up countless dust and ash.

The Cloud-Soaring Sparrow swooped past, and Zhao Feng sprang up, landing on its broad back and flying away rapidly.

"Obtained 235 transformation points."

The effect of Zhao Feng's assault, like a god descending from heaven, was very good. In one morning, he had eliminated a total of 10 Epic Corpse Beasts; this was still because too much time was spent searching, otherwise the number would have been even higher.

At this rate, optimistically estimating, given the slow speed of the Corpse Beast herd, before the Corpse Beasts finished walking the remaining 150 kilometers, the 100-plus Corpse Beasts in this direction would be completely wiped out.

Zhao Feng felt his body starting to tire, so he steered the Cloud-Soaring Sparrow into the stratosphere to recharge with sunlight once more, then ate some of the dried meat and steamed buns he carried before entering stealth mode again.

However, the situation this time was completely different; the Corpse Beast herd was beginning to gather.

Adjacent Epic giant beasts were moving closer to each other, and even ordinary Corpse Beasts and corpse-people were beginning to cluster; why would this happen?

Fortunately, although this was the overall trend, it had not yet formed an unrivaled dense formation. Zhao Feng had no time to think too much; taking advantage of the ability to fight quickly, he killed a few more before a large number of Epic Corpse Beasts gathered. Before the surging corpse tide arrived, Zhao Feng steered the Cloud-Soaring Sparrow and flew away rapidly.

Zhao Feng did not dare to get trapped among the Epic Corpse Beasts that were appearing in clusters. In that ultimate battle on Taichu Star, immensely powerful destruction monsters were overwhelmed to death by thousands of creatures, let alone Zhao Feng, who could not yet be considered strong.

"It must be the Mad Wolf Tribe! These scumbags, playing internal politics when facing a great enemy!" Zhao Feng left indignantly. Unless guided by intelligent beings, even if Corpse Beasts attacked in groups, they would only be in scattered formations; how could they appear in such clusters?

And the Mad Wolf Tribe had exactly such a motive!

Amidst the dense crowd of corpse-people, a shriveled corpse-person had the light of intelligence flickering in its dark pupils. Watching the departing Zhao Feng, a mocking smile actually appeared on its shriveled face!
