The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 216: Chapter 187, Potted Plant No.15_1

The building’s interior was even darker.

From outside, one could see waves of toxic mist spreading out.

Wu Heng cast a [Dancing Light Skill], and four balls of light spun out and hung on an advertising board in the mall.

The view inside was slightly clearer.

A fungus carpet covered the floor and walls, and mushrooms spewing toxic mist grew from severed limbs and sections of arms.

The scene was no different from what ‘Xiao Xiao’ had observed.

There was no change inside, despite the elimination of all the zombies outside.

“Go in and kill all targets.”

Big Guy, Scary Claw Monster, followed by a hoard of skeletons, walked directly into the building.

The moment the skeletons entered the building.

The interior plants seemed to sense something and began to rapidly emit toxic mist, like an accelerator-hit engine.

Frequently in operation.

The poison mist inside the building became even more dense, blurring even the bright Dancing Light Skill into hazy light orbs.

“Xiao Xiao, you go in and peek, when they finish, come out and tell me.” Wu Heng directed to Xiao Xiao who was lying on his shoulder.

“Okay.” Xiao Xiao responded.

They went straight through the building and into the mall.

Then, battle sounds emanated from inside the building.

The violent impact sent waves of toxic mist.

It was like a large-scale demolition site, with huge roars and intense shaking, and continuous waves of air.

The fighting lasted for over half an hour.

Xiao Xiao flew out from inside, motioning with his fists as he said, “Uncle, that monster is dead, and quite a number of your skeletons are dead too.”

“Let me see how they died.” Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao penetrated into his body.

The battle scene was simultaneously displayed in his mind.

The zombie connected to the plants, extended vine-like tentacles from its arms, and continuously slapped the invading skeletons.

Each strike splashed moss everywhere and shattered the tiles beneath instantly.

The weak point was also obvious.

Its body seemed to be connected to the fungal carpet and vines in the building. Although the attacks were fierce, it didn’t move a step.

Finally, it was surrounded by several high-level skeletons in the middle, and its connecting vines were violently torn off. It was beaten to death directly.

In fact, if it hadn’t been for Wu Heng’s presence, this Mutated Zombie could be considered invincible.

Living creatures fearing the poison gas could not enter, while the surrounding zombies that came close would become parasitized into new Mushroom Zombies.

The Shadow City Mall had become its incubator.

It just had poor luck and ran into Wu Heng.

The necromantic creatures were not afraid of poison gas and possessed so many skeletons.

It had met its nemesis.

Quickly, all the skeletons from inside the building filed out. The Big Guy’s shoulder was still carrying half plant and half humanoid Mutated Zombie.

A bang sounded as it landed in front of Wu Heng, splashing up a cloud of dust.

Wu Heng instinctively retreated two steps, waiting for the dust to settle before approaching again.

The zombie in front of him was like a plant uprooted, with torn stems at the lower half of its body.

Contemplating over the body in front of him, he fell into a dilemma.

There was no doubt that this was a Mutated Zombie. Now the question was whether to transform it into a carrion or a skeleton would be better.

Just like the previous Bawudong, after being transformed into a skeleton, it lost the effect of its own scales.

The zombie in front of him seemed more fit for the ‘carrion’ category.

But there were downsides to carrion as well, such as carrying disease and a foul smell.

Then, another thought came to him, necromancy magic couldn’t coexist with plants.

Even if it was transformed into carrion, it wouldn’t grow plants again.

No matter what kind of poisonous plant, it couldn’t grow through necromancy magic.

He fell into indecision.

“Look in the brain of the corpse and find a round, fleshy Corpse Core,” said Wu Heng.

Zhan Yi, who was standing by, stepped forward, prised open the mouth of the corpse, and stabbed upwards with a dagger, then he reached in and began to search.

After some searching, he extracted a ball of sticky, rotting flesh.

Within it could be seen a Corpse Core, wholly red, looking like a miniature brain.

A third-level Corpse Core?

Each grade of Corpse Core has very distinct characteristics.

The Corpse Core before them should have reached the third level.

However, without a finished product for comparison, it was impossible to be one hundred percent sure it was at the third level.

They picked the Corpse Core out of the rotten flesh and put it into a prepared plastic bag.

They took another look at the corpse in front of them.

They still decided to use the Corpse Manipulation Skill.

If the carrion had a serious impact on him or the prison, destroying it afterward wouldn’t be too late.

If it was actually transformed into a skeleton, it might lose its original characteristics.

First, look at the attributes.

After confirming their thoughts, they immediately released the Corpse Manipulation Skill on the corpse.

Necromancy magic gradually enveloped the corpse, and in the next second, the already withered fungal plants on its body fell directly onto the ground.

The vine branches extending from its limbs also became more shriveled and stiff.

Amidst these changes,

the corpse slowly stood up from the ground.

Like a humanoid woman wrapped in tree bark.

Carrion Decay Plant Creature (Level 15)

The system named it.

Usually, the name would be based on characteristics. Although it’s a bit of a mouthful, it does show its own features.

And its level has actually reached 15.

It surpassed the other undead, becoming the highest level undead attendant.

Continuing to check the attributes.

Entangled Vegetation: The withered plant monster can stimulate the growth of ‘grasping roots’ and ‘vines’ in a specified area (made via the necromancy magic ‘simulation’, if the magic expires, they will wither quickly), to non-vegetation beings this area is considered difficult terrain and it binds and attacks them.

Fungal Sputum: Grows fungus in the abdomen and spews it forward, forming a poisonous mist environment.

Wu Heng looked at the attributes of the withered plant monster and frowned slightly.

He looked over the attribute column twice before confirming that the other party literally did not have the agility attribute.

The ghosts had no strength as they were in a spiritual state and had no physical power.

But this withered plant monster didn’t even have agility and simply couldn’t move on its own.

Even if its branches were torn off and set upright in front of him.

“Come out,” said Wu Heng.

The withered plant monster still stood there, looking at him without moving an inch.

Damn it.

It really can’t move.

A level 15 potted plant!
