Chapter 149: 149
Abel gave up on finding the potions from these dead quill rats . This was a real-world, not a game where monsters drop loot when you kill them .
After packing his equipment, Abel continued to move forward . This time, he needed to be more careful . There was no more exploding big sword left in his bag .
As though remembering something, Abel took out a pair of telescopes from the kong kong spiritual beast bag . Fortunately, he made a backup after Loraine took away his original one . While the telescope might be a treasure for the others, for him, it was just like a toy that Lorraine liked a lot .
Even after walking for about twenty minutes, Abel still did not find any quill rat . He probably just killed all the ones that were here before . Suddenly, the ground below him became soft . Then, a black hand stretched out and grabbed his calf .
“What is this?” Abel yelled as he kicked the black hand . It was a zombie, dressed in nothing but some very shabby clothes . It crawled out of the ground and staggered towards him .
The zombie looked scary, yes, but it was moving so slowly that Abel could just walk away from it . While taking his sweet time, Abel wore the frozen armor on himself . Since he was short on mana, he couldn’t just wear the frozen armor when he was in the dark world .
Zombies, like the quill rat, were the weakest hell creature there was . Due to their slow speed and incapability to launch any distanced attack, they were the perfect target for Abel to practice his long-range spells .
After Abel released two fireballs, the zombie turned into a scorched corpse and fell to the ground . A shadow soon emerged and was absorbed by the Horadric Cube .
Abel smiled . He could take on a hundred of these zombies without breaking a sweat . But just when the thought came to him, countless black hands appeared from the ground .
Just when he knew it, the two black hands closest to him had already grasped onto his legs . As they were turned into ice as soon as they touched his frozen armor, Abel easily snapped them off and broke them into powder .
Weirdly, there were so many zombies . In most cases, zombies should be the hardest hell creature to find in the Rogue Encampment . They had little attack power and seldom moved in groups . Yet, at this moment, there were literally about a hundred of them coming towards Abel .
Although the zombies outnumbered Abel, their attacks were slow and extremely short-ranged . Abel didn’t even have to make a defense . After putting away his shield, he took out his 5-meter-long lance and swept away all the zombies around him .
As it turned out, the lance wasn’t doing a lot of damage to these zombies . If Abel couldn’t find himself a better weapon, his knight’s abilities would be almost useless . Fortunately, though, the shocking effect of the lance was pretty effective . Because of it, he was able to keep a good distance away from these spawns of hell .
Abel continued to fire as many “fireballs” as he could . On average, every two fireballs could kill one zombie . After firing about forty times, he stopped attacking because he was short on mana . He could use up all of it, but that could, potentially, be a very dangerous move to make .
This point killed about one-fourth of the zombies . Abel no longer cared about the physical damage that these zombies could do . He was more interested in attacking rather than defending . Every time a soul was absorbed into his Horadric Cube, he would be more motivated to continue his attacks .
His golden combat qi surged as it wrapped itself around his lance . Even when his attacks were so strong that they could break the bodies of these zombies into two, these damned creatures had no sense of pain whatsoever . Even without legs, they could crawl towards him with their hands .
These zombies didn’t seem capable of thought . The only thing that drove them was the instinct to bite anything alive . As they constantly moved toward Abel, they just kept using their hands, nails, teeth, and every other part of their body so that they could attack him .
Slowly but steadily, Abel found out about something . Without physically crushing their heads, these zombies would never truly die .
Abel changed up his fighting tactics . Instead of doing anything fancy with his lance, he just kept stabbing towards the heads of these zombies . According to his calculations, it would take about ten stabs to crush the brains of these zombies . That frustrated him a little, and worse yet, since the zombies would be knocked ten meters away from him, he had to switch his target every time he made a hit .
What a pathetic way to fight . He was stronger and more skilled than these zombies, whereas the only thing that they could do properly was to defend themselves . Yet, it was exactly because of this that instead of being a massacre, this fight just kept dragging on and on and on .
It wasn’t hard to find something fun about this, however . For Abel, this felt a lot like a game that he used to play when he was a child . Yes, it was like playing whack-a-mole when he was on the street . It was a little different from that . Not only was the game done in a 360-degree fashion, the zombies just kept coming back after they were hit .
After a while, more souls of these zombies were absorbed into Abel’s cube . As time-consuming as it was, as long as some of his enemies went down, he could have enough mana supply to keep going .
Abel continued as he was motivated to get another bottle of the soul potion . With the number of zombies decreasing, the fighting came to its end . When the soul of the last zombie came inside his Horadric Cube, everything became quiet once more .
Abel placed his lance back into his kong kong spiritual beast bag . After that, he searched the corpses in case he could find any loot on them . Disappointingly, he couldn’t find what he was looking for . The most he could see were some ordinary jewelry drenched in black blood .
Abel’s hands turned black after touching these dead bodies . After taking out some clean water from his kong kong spiritual beast bag, he washed his hands for a bit . When he was done, he gave up on the idea of finding loot from these hell creatures .
Abel was out confidence to find more of these hell creatures . His mana was only enough for him to wear the frozen armor for two more times, and it wasn’t like he could sit down to have a meditation session, either .
Yet, he did not want to give up . After climbing a tall tree that he found, he started scouting around with his telescope . This time, he…
Ok, he gave up .
