Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 1631 - 685: Seventh-stage Corpse Group_2

Chapter 1631: Chapter 685: Seventh-stage Corpse Group_2

Although Wang Tao and the others had already killed some disaster-level zombies before using the Summoning Altar, it was definitely not enough.

“Alright!”

Everyone naturally had no objections. With Wang Tao present, it was estimated that even if they unexpectedly encountered a seventh-rank destruction-level monster, they could retreat safely.

On the Golden Eagle’s back, Wang Tao instructed the Golden Eagle to search for zombies while sharing with the group some information he had obtained from the Fire Beast.

After hearing it, everyone exchanged uncertain glances. As their strength grew, they realized the world was becoming increasingly mysterious…

At this moment, Ding Yuqin’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she said:

“Wang Tao, since you said the more fire elements you control, the fewer fire elements your opponent can control, does this mean you could hunt seventh-rank destruction-level magma monsters?”

Upon hearing these words, everyone turned to Wang Tao with some excitement.

These magma monsters were currently likely the strongest creatures. If Wang Tao could deal with them, the safety of the Changhe Base would be greatly improved—Wang Tao might even be the strongest in the world!

Wang Tao froze for a moment at Ding Yuqin’s suggestion.

For a fleeting moment, he thought it might actually be possible!

Although seventh-rank destruction-level monsters were incredibly strong, if he could control enough fire elements to deprive them of fire elements to manipulate, wouldn’t that mean he could hunt these magma monsters?

But soon enough, Wang Tao shook his head with a wry smile:

“Hunt magma monsters? You’re overthinking it… Those magma monsters have far greater control over fire elements and a much larger range of influence than I do. If I dared to hunt them, the suppression that happened to the Fire Beast today would happen to me instead!”

“So, with my current strength, attempting to hunt magma monsters would not only fail to provide any enhancement, but I’d suffer instead! Just as the Fire Beast couldn’t unleash its full power in front of me, I might not be able to unleash my full power in front of magma monsters…”

When seventh-rank or above same-element domain users fight, a scenario occurs where the strong grow stronger, and the weak grow weaker.

Wang Tao was self-aware; his strength was still far inferior to that of magma monsters. If he tried to hunt them now, he’d probably die even faster than the Fire Beast…

“Huh?”

After hearing Wang Tao’s explanation, everyone was dumbfounded.

Initially, they thought that with Wang Tao’s current strength, even if he couldn’t kill destruction-level magma monsters, he could at least withstand them, right? But unexpectedly, confronting magma monsters would only make Wang Tao weaker… Wouldn’t that mean Wang Tao was in great danger?

Seeing the concern in everyone’s expressions, Wang Tao explained further:

“Of course, what I said applies only if I’m enveloped within its law domain and unable to manipulate external fire elements. In such a situation, I would naturally grow weaker. But as long as I avoid entering its law domain or engaging it head-on, there’s no problem. Even if I can’t win, I can still escape—I wouldn’t end up like that Fire Beast, completely trapped.”

“Phew—what a relief!”

“Then I can rest assured…”

After hearing Wang Tao’s explanation, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Wang Tao could ensure his safety, the situation couldn’t turn completely disastrous…

However, despite saying this, Wang Tao was still somewhat worried deep down. If destruction-level monsters kept increasing, to the point they endangered the safety of Changhe Base, he would have no solutions at all.

Even in the worst-case scenario, where Wang Tao managed to kill these destruction-level monsters, he couldn’t recklessly attempt it. When destruction-level monsters die, their Destruction Domain [Great Drought] wouldn’t disappear—it would instead expand and might even become permanent!

If the land were covered everywhere by [Great Drought] and temperatures soared to over a hundred degrees Celsius, even if they survived, there would be no space left for living…

Wang Tao believed the best course of action would be to lure these destruction-level monsters away from human settlements!

As for where to lure them… Wang Tao had a vague thought—a place in the ocean!

Wang Tao recalled the sea wave monster he’d just learned about from the Fire Beast. He knew water and fire seventh-rank creatures would inevitably clash upon meeting!

If these destruction-level creatures could be drawn into the ocean, away from the mainland, and forced to battle the water-attribute beings… Perhaps that would be the most viable solution for now.

Moreover, to lure destruction-level creatures away, one wouldn’t necessarily need to be stronger than them. As long as one could protect themselves, it should suffice.

The only issue was that Wang Tao wasn’t sure whether these destruction-level monsters would follow him. If they didn’t take the bait, then all of this would be pointless…

While Wang Tao was deep in thought, the Golden Eagle spotted disaster-level zombies, a group of them gathered together of the same type.

Th𝑖𝓈 𝖼h𝕒p𝘵℮r ɩṡ p𝕠𝖘ṯɛ𝒅 bყ Ḱ𝖎𝙩ℯṉⲟ𝐯ꬲ𝑙

It had to be said—zombie strength had indeed increased significantly. In the past, encountering such a situation was impossible.

For a quick resolution, Wang Tao didn’t let anyone else intervene. He directly manipulated fire elements and, from afar, wiped out that cluster of disaster-level zombies in one swift blow.

“Incredible! So envious!”

Xiang Hongbin had said this countless times. If not for the existence of seventh-rank destruction-level monsters, he felt Wang Tao could have dominated the entire planet!

“Hey, Old Wei, when are you ascending to the seventh rank?”

Xiang Hongbin nudged Wei Zhenguo beside him. They all knew Wei Zhenguo now had the qualifications to ascend to the seventh rank.

“I don’t know, the earliest would still take at least a month…”

Wei Zhenguo shook his head slightly.

He didn’t have any real confidence in comprehending the law domain. The month he mentioned was an ideal timeframe, and realistically, it would likely take longer. After all, his life was precious—ascending to the seventh rank required caution! Life wasn’t a video game; there were no do-overs…

“Alright… Good luck!”

Xiang Hongbin and Wei Zhenguo had worked together for years, and naturally, Xiang Hongbin could immediately see Wei Zhenguo’s lack of confidence. He chose not to say much but simply offered some encouragement.

As the two chatted, Wang Tao had already planted Awakening Fruits in the corpses of those zombies and instructed the Golden Eagle to continue searching.

In less than a minute, the Golden Eagle sighted three seventh-rank disaster-level zombies, all possessing the same type of disaster awakening.

Once again, Wang Tao didn’t hold back. From a distance, he annihilated them immediately.

After planting Awakening Seeds in their remains, Wang Tao was about to leave when his gaze suddenly sharpened—he felt the ground trembling!

He quickly ascended and looked into the distance.

“Screech—”

The moment the Golden Eagle’s warning reached Wang Tao’s ears, he saw the boundless sea of zombies surging in the distance.

“Retreat! Zombies are coming!”

Wang Tao immediately signaled to everyone, urging them to board the Golden Eagle and evacuate at once.

Although puzzled, everyone strictly followed Wang Tao’s orders, jumping onto the Golden Eagle, which soared high into the air.

As they ascended, they finally saw the zombie horde in the distance.

“Holy crap!”

Seeing the endless wave of zombies, everyone couldn’t help but curse.

They had seen zombie tides before, but such an enormous tide was beyond anything they’d ever witnessed!

“This has got to be tens of thousands of zombies!”

“Maybe even over a million!”

“…”

The group began nervously discussing the scene.

Wang Tao watched the vast tide of zombies, his expression extremely grim.

Under normal circumstances, after ascending to the seventh rank, Wang Tao had little to fear from sheer numbers. With his law domain activated, no matter how many came, they’d die all the same! Even if they were sixth-rank zombies, they couldn’t withstand his law domain.

But that was under normal conditions—and now… Wang Tao could sense seventh-rank presences amidst the massive horde. Seventh-order Lords, and not just one!

In such a situation, Wang Tao couldn’t blindly attack.

However, as Wang Tao looked at these seventh-order Lords more closely, he was stunned to discover that these Lords leading such a gigantic force weren’t attacking any particular location—they were fleeing!
