LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 278 True Illusion_3
```
As long as Wang Tao is not deceived by the illusion, then it poses no threat to him!
It was only now that Wang Tao realized that the four Level 3 Zombie Lords that Lan Yulian mentioned were brutally murdered were not actually killed by fourth-level zombies, but were made to kill each other by this Illusion Beast!
As to why the Illusion Beast would make the Level 3 Lord Zombies kill each other... Wang Tao glanced at the nearby corpses of the two recently deceased Level 3 Zombie Lords and saw that their Crystal Cores were gone — it was for the Crystal Cores that the Illusion Beast had killed these Zombie Lords!
Upon discovering the identity of this fourth-order monster, Wang Tao wasn't too surprised by the outcome. The information provided by the military base had indicated that these monsters and zombies were not of the same kind. Wang Tao could also observe that these monsters had internal impurities and needed Crystal Cores as well.
This fourth-order monster's illusion affected all the zombies within its range; within the illusion, whether the zombies attacked or not was controlled by the monster. Now that the illusion was gone, the zombies were no longer under control and immediately attacked Wang Tao upon seeing him.
After Jiang Shixue cleared away the besieging zombies, she asked Wang Tao:
"Brother, shall we chase it?"
"Chase!"
Wang Tao nodded.
He felt that this fourth-order Illusion Beast was less of a threat than the Flame Monster.
During his battle with the Flame Monster, although Wang Tao could somewhat resist fire, the flames still caused some damage to him, and the Flame Monster, having a strong physique, could make him lose a lot of HP when it hit him.
But this illusion created by the Illusion Beast was completely ineffective against Wang Tao. He was not affected at all!
This was as if the Illusion Beast had one less awakening!
Previously when he faced this Illusion Beast, he lacked the strength and didn't fully understand its method of attack, so he would run as far as possible. But now... the monster had actually run away first!
This could only mean that the Illusion Beast was afraid!
Aside from its illusion attack, it likely had no other formidable methods of attack.
Therefore, Wang Tao certainly wouldn't let it go!
Wang Tao collected the spoils from the zombies he had just killed before setting off in pursuit of the Illusion Beast.
Although the monster was fast, Wang Tao's Plant Affinity had a large range. With plenty of plants around, he easily perceived a large creature moving quickly.
The Illusion Beast moved much faster than Level 3 zombies and didn't move in a straight line, making quite a few feints.
But Wang Tao was a bit faster than it! Coupled with his "radar" and "x-ray vision", the Illusion Beast's movements were completely visible to Wang Tao, and there was nowhere to hide.
"Over here!"
Chasing the beast through a dilapidated residential area, Wang Tao suddenly slashed at a small house.
Whoosh—
A Shockwave directly shattered a wall, causing the already damaged house to collapse with a boom.
Amidst a cloud of dust, a bulky figure appeared.
Wang Tao finally saw the true face of the Illusion Beast.
"What is that? A pig?"
The Illusion Beast was entirely black and very fat, with rough bristles all over its body. Its chubby black face sported a large nose, big ears, and white canines... It resembled a wild boar!
But it wasn't quite the same as a real wild boar since wild boars aren't that fat, and even domestic pigs are not as plump as it was.
"Roar—"
The Wild Boar Monster's eyes emitted a faint red glow as it roared at Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue. Wang Tao's vision blurred momentarily as he re-entered the illusion it had created.
This time, it was a large gym, but there were no bulky muscle men around, only hot-bodied beauties.
Wang Tao had to admit, it was quite a pleasant sight. But the thought that these beauties were actually disgusting zombies instantly killed any interest he had. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire
He vanished in a flash, then fiercely struck at one of the curvaceous beauties.
Bang!

"The defense of this Wild Boar Monster is really high!"
Could his attacks only take away just over three thousand HP with a single strike?
This defense was even higher than the Night Demon's!
But that one strike dispelled the illusion.
The illusion seemed related to the state of the Wild Boar Monster; when it got injured, it affected the use of its illusion.
Roar—
The Wild Boar Monster roared angrily and charged at Wang Tao.
Its speed was clearly not a match for Wang Tao's, who easily dodged its attack.
Jiang Shixue suddenly appeared from the other side and blocked the Wild Boar Monster's path, scratching it twice.
[-726]
[-673]
Jiang Shixue's attacks were like tickles to the Wild Boar Monster.
Wang Tao felt that the Wild Boar Monster was different from the Night Demon; the Night Demon had strong all-around physical qualities—attack, defense, speed, and so on.
The Wild Boar Monster seemed to be just thick-skinned and tough-fleshed, after all, its speed wasn't very fast, even slower than Wang Tao's.
Seeing that a large number of zombies had already been attracted, Wang Tao prepared to use his Awakening to end the battle quickly.
But as if he had thought of something, a baton suddenly appeared in his hand.
After activating the Mutant Explosion-proof Baton, he hadn't used this equipment to fight against strong enemies. Wang Tao wanted to know if the electric shock effect would work on fourth-order monsters.
Wang Tao approached the Wild Boar Monster and swung the baton at it, generating a spark of electricity.
[-2133]
[-10283]
The Wild Boar Monster instantly stiffened as two damage numbers popped up.
One was the physical damage from the baton, the other the damage from the electric current!
The physical damage from the baton was less than with the great cleaver since he couldn't use high-frequency vibration. But the electric damage from the baton was five times the physical damage!
Seeing this, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.
"It looks like I won't need to use my Awakening to deal with you!"
Although Wang Tao wasn't sure why this was the case, he suddenly had a shield in his hand, crackling with electric arcs.
