LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 280: Frenzy of the Dead Tide_2
Wang Tao also carefully observed to see if there were any Night Demon's Nests, as he had seen many Night Demons last night. There must be a nest here, but sadly he found none.
However, starting from noon, Wang Tao felt that the Level 3 Zombies seemed to be increasing in number, and by the afternoon, he had already encountered several Level 3, Zombie Lords.
With the help of these Level 3, Zombie Lords, Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng both reached the 100,000 HP limit.
The pace was definitely fast, but Wang Tao's expression was very serious.
"These zombies are not quite right..."
Wang Tao felt that there were more zombies than before, and Level 3 and above were appearing more frequently. Moreover, their aggressiveness had strengthened—Wang Tao, to save trouble, had administered the Stealth Potion to both women. Normally, after taking a Stealth Potion, as long as you don't get too close to zombies, they can't detect you. But now, these zombies were coming from afar.
It wasn't that they had discovered the three individuals who had used the Stealth Potion, rather they seemed to want to come over and pick a fight!
Wang Tao had just seen zombies fighting each other! Normally, zombies should be more or less harmonious... Could there be a Wild Boar Monster? That shouldn't be the case, as Wang Tao had not sensed the presence of a Level 4.
"What's wrong?"
Lan Yulian's Perception was not that sharp. But Lu Yingfeng was also frowning a little.
"I feel like there's something off about the zombies..."
"Let's go, let's head back first!"
Carrying the two women, Wang Tao quickly ran towards Zijin Base.
They had just run quite a distance while hunting a Level 3, Zombie Lord, and could no longer see the base.
The closer they got to the base, the more Lan Yulian began to frown.
She often observed the zombies around the base. Although she wasn't clear on exactly how many zombies besieged it, she could still feel a rough density of zombies around.
Now, even before they reached the base, she felt it was getting crowded with zombies! This density was at least two or three times more than before, which meant that the number of zombies had increased!
Zijing City was already filled with zombies, and their numbers were increasing?
By the time Wang Tao and the two women returned to Zijin Base, all three of their faces looked grim.
Because the number of zombies surrounding the base outside had indeed increased a lot! And everywhere, there were Level 3 Elite Zombies, with more than a dozen Level 3, Zombie Lords!
"Why are there so many more zombies..."
"Either they came from other places, or the zombies of Zijing City have all found out about this place and are rushing over!"
Wang Tao felt the second possibility was more likely. After all, Zijing City was huge, and it was impossible for all the zombies to spot the location of Zijin Base. Most of the zombies were scattered elsewhere. Now it seems that somehow they've discovered the base and are heading this way.
"What should we do..."
Seeing so many zombies, Lan Yulian was slightly panicked.
If these zombies really coordinated an attack on the high walls of the base, the walls might not hold up...
"Don't worry. I'll go take care of those Level 3, Zombie Lords first," Wang Tao said.
Because there were too many zombies here, Wang Tao didn't let someone watch the gate from inside but directly used special Tendrils to grab the protrusions on the wall and, like a spider spitting silk, sent the two women inside.
His Tendrils were now twenty meters long, enough to get over the wall without any issue.
After sending the women in, Wang Tao directly jumped into the crowd of zombies and activated Entangling Roots.
At this point, the Entangling Roots weapon was not really suitable for Wang Tao to fight with Level 4 or higher zombies or monsters.
That's because the Entangling Roots was Level 3. The disadvantage of fighting with Level 4 was not a minor one—perhaps after a few hits, Wang Tao would be fine, but the Entangling Roots would be done for.
Just like in the previous battle with a Level 4 Night Demon, the Night Demon swiped away more than 10,000 HP from the Entangling Roots in one claw strike. But with Wang Tao's current defensive power, the Night Demon could only take about 1,000 HP from him.
The Attributes added by the Entangling Roots were not significant in front of a Level 4. Not to mention, when Wang Tao used Starfire Prairie, the Entangling Roots couldn't be utilized either.
So, the Entangling Roots might become a burden to Wang Tao in fights with Level 4.
However, that doesn't mean the Entangling Roots were completely useless. In confronting a large number of Level 4 and below zombies, the Entangling Roots were still very useful—it could wrap Wang Tao all around, preventing him from being attacked by zombies, to avoid infection. Wang Tao then could confidently dish out attacks!
Thump!
Wang Tao landed squarely in the midst of the zombies. A curved long knife appeared in his hand instantly, slashing through the void in front of him.

A vast number of Level 3 Ordinary Zombies were instantly killed by the Shockwave!
None of the Level 3 Ordinary Zombies could withstand a blow from Wang Tao, and even the Level 3 Elite Zombies could at most withstand two hits from him.
But Wang Tao's target wasn't them; it was the more than a dozen Level 3, Zombie Lords.
Wang Tao quickly picked up the loot that dropped around him and appeared in front of one of the Level 3, Zombie Lords, unleashing a Continuous Slash.

This Level 3, Zombie Lord only had 40,000 HP and was instantly killed by Wang Tao!
He quickly picked up the loot and then rushed toward another Level 3 zombie, executing another Continuous Slash.
Continuous Slash proved to be effective against zombies that were not as strong as him but still had a significant amount of HP.
