Chapter 353 Zombie Graveyard, Terrifying Evolution!
Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Zhou swiftly stepped forward, firmly grasped the enormous head of the mutated dual-sword skeleton warrior in his hand, and then activated his [Skeleton King] skill to begin enslaving the mutated skeleton.
Because the mutated dual-sword skeleton warriors were weaker than the Ark, the enslavement process went exceptionally smoothly, almost in one go.
After naming the successfully enslaved mutated dual-sword skeleton warrior "Yone," the Ark ordered Yone to devour the surrounding resources to restore his strength, while he himself turned towards the altar.
From the moment I stepped onto the altar until the end of the battle, there was no movement on the altar at all.
Whether they stepped onto the altar or engaged in a brief but intense battle on it, the five tall zombies on the altar remained unresponsive, still in a state of deep sleep.
Only then did the Ark have the opportunity to carefully observe the five zombies on the altar.
It is obvious that the four tall zombies located at the center of the four areas of the altar are all mutated zombies.
Dozens of zombies, which had not yet been killed, remained on the steps of the altar.
The dark altar seemed to be continuing to draw the death energy from the zombies and inject it into the bodies of these four mutated zombies.
However, the infusion of the aura of death did not make the four mutated zombies stronger.
On the contrary, in Ark's keen perception, these four mutated zombies not only did not become stronger, but also appeared extremely weak.
The aura of death emanating from them was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary zombies, far from the intensity that mutated zombies should possess.
As for the reason—
The death aura from those hundreds of zombies was extracted by the dark altar and poured into the bodies of these four mutated zombies.
At the same time, the aura of death within these four mutated zombie corpses was being continuously drawn out by the dark altar!
It was as if the zombies were the providers of the aura of death, and these four mutated zombies were the filters and purifiers of that aura.
The purest aura of death, filtered and refined, ultimately surged into the center of the dark altar, into the enormous, terrifying, and ferocious zombie corpse.
You could say that the zombies in the entire Valley of the Dead are like harvested crops.
Only the ferocious zombie at the very center of the dark altar was the sole beneficiary.
"Using the deathly aura of the entire canyon and hundreds of zombies to nurture a mutated zombie—what a grand scheme!"
A series of thoughts flashed through Fangzhou's mind, and gradually he found the answer.
If this mutated, ferocious zombie were to awaken, its strength would likely rival that of the Ark.
But he has no intention of backing down.
Four weakened mutated zombies, plus an even more powerful and ferocious zombie, not only represent a vast amount of soul power, but also a large number of attribute points!
This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Ark.
By consuming these mutated zombies, we might be able to successfully decipher the zombie's innate skills that we've been unable to crack!
However, the dangers involved are also obvious.
From the beginning until now, neither the mutated dual-sword skeleton warrior nor the Ark itself has touched the five mutated zombies on the altar.
Even though Ark had sent its skeleton minions to slaughter most of the zombies on the altar steps, a few dozen zombies were still left behind in order to keep the altar running.
If these zombies are disturbed, or the altar's operation is interrupted, these five mutated zombies will probably wake up at the same time!
Should we take the risk?
The soul fire in his eye sockets flickered slightly as Ark once again focused his gaze on the five mutated zombies.
The dark altar continued to operate, constantly drawing the aura of death from the zombies' bodies.
After losing hundreds of zombies, the remaining few dozen were no longer able to withstand the altar's continuous draining.
Their bodies began to sway precariously, appearing increasingly weak.
As the amount of death energy decreased, the five mutated zombies were also affected.
Fangzhou even saw the ferocious zombie in the center of the altar twitch slightly, as if it might wake up from its slumber at any moment!
With time running out, Fangzhou made a swift decision.
He pondered for a moment, then summoned Olaf and ordered him to lead his skeleton minions in several groups to surround the four weakened mutated zombies.
He himself, along with several skeleton warriors, charged towards the ferocious zombie.
As for Yone, the mutated dual-sword skeleton warrior, his skeletal body has been shattered due to repeated injuries and enslavement by the Ark, and he needs to be repaired or replaced with a new body in order to function properly.
At this moment, Fang Zhou stood in front of the ferocious zombie and felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
This powerful being, nurtured with so many resources and effort, is like a terrifying behemoth that could awaken at any moment!
Above the ferocious zombie, a black crystal ball floated.
If the zombies are the first layer of filtering for the aura of death, then the four weakened mutated zombies are the second layer, and this crystal ball is the final layer.
All the aura of death converged into this crystal ball, and then flowed into the body of the ferocious zombie through the crystal ball, nourishing it.
Clearly, this black crystal ball is the core of the entire altar.
The Ark did not rashly touch the crystal ball.
After he reached the monstrous zombie, he gently extended his skeletal spear, pressing the tip against the zombie's forehead.
[Battle Aura Slash] Skill —
start up!
A powerful energy fluctuation condensed on the long spear made of corpses.
Fang Zhou took a deep breath to calm himself, and then swung his sword forcefully.
The energy on the skeletal spear erupted instantly, transforming into a sharp beam of light that slashed straight at the ferocious zombie's forehead.
Suddenly!
The ferocious zombie suddenly opened its eyes!
"roar!!!"
With a terrifying aura erupting, a roar full of oppressive power burst forth from the mouth of this ferocious zombie!
It struggled, seemingly trying to dodge Ark's sure-fire battle aura slash!
However, in this battle where the Ark held an absolute advantage, the ferocious zombies, bound tightly to their positions by the altar runes, were undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
Despite its desperate struggle, its body was still unable to break free from its restraints.
"roar!!!"
Realizing its impending doom, the ferocious zombie let out another roar.
But this was not merely an outburst of anger.
With this roar, the four mutated zombies, which were already extremely weak but were still providing it with the aura of death, were awakened!
They struggled to break free of their restraints and charged towards this side with all their might!
The awakening of four mutated zombies has heightened tensions.
However, the skeleton minions that had already surrounded them, under the Ark's orders, immediately launched a fierce attack on the four mutated zombies.
