Chapter 1001: Lin Qiao Is Busy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The buffalo sized creature fell from tens of meters alt.i.tude and thudded against the ground, creating a huge dent. However, it did not fall into pieces like normal living beings might.
The underground gorilla stayed perfectly unharmed as it made a roll on the ground and then got back up. Qiu Lili’s attack could barely hurt it; the fire had failed to kill it, and so had the wind blades. It was thrown to the ground from tens of meters high in the sky, but was still alive. Qiu Lili didn’t plan to give up, though.
So, she decided to try it again. This time, she would bring it a hundred meters high in the sky. One fall might not kill it, but she could always try again!
Qiu Lili stared at that underground gorilla which had started to scratch itself after struggling up from the ground. Once again, she sent it into the sky with a tornado.
On the other side, the level-eight underground gorillas gave Lin Qiao a raging roar as it watched its subordinates hurt themselves in pain under the effect of her netherworld fire.
“Roar!”
It rushed out of the dark mist which was under Lin Qiao’s control, and leaped toward the roof, that she stood on.
Lin Qiao was on top of a thirty-story building. The building wasn’t very tall, so the underground gorilla easily hopped onto the roof. The giant creature, which weighted at least two tons, landed on the roof thunderously, creating cracks and dents on it.
However, by the time it landed on the roof, it realized that its target had disappeared. It gave another wrathful roar as it chased behind her.
Lin Qiao had no plan to confront the creature face to face. She needed to focus her mind to control her power. Only when she had weakened those underground creatures from level five to seven with her power could Qiu Lili and the others have a slight chance of killing them.
That was the only way for the situation to turn better for her and her zombies.
“Roar…” The surrounding zombies rushed up to bite and scratch the lowest leveled underground gorillas. Of course, they couldn’t hurt those creatures. But, they managed to keep those creatures busy at the very least.
The netherworld fire started to absorb their energy once it drilled into their bodies. Only after their energy was drained could the fire start to devour the bodies. Their energy merged perfectly with their bodies. Every piece of bone and every single cell richly contained the energy that was generated by the virus.
In fact, absorbing their energy was highly beneficial for Lin Qiao.
Soon enough, the level-five underground creatures had their energy draining out. They slowed down, being overwhelmed by the zombie crowd.
Puff! A level-five underground gorilla was. .h.i.t by a fire-powered zombie leader after it slowed down, and its body started to burn.
‘Eh?’
The zombie leader was surprised, then boosted its fire up and burned the underground gorilla straight to death.
Then, a wisp of black fire drifted out of the red fire and quickly found its next target.
The zombie leader figured out what happened at the sight of the black fire which belonged to Lin Qiao. He followed behind the black fire and charged at the next gorilla as soon as the black fire drilled into its body.
While controlling over a hundred wisps of netherworld fire, Lin Qiao sensed how the fire grew after absorbing the energy from those underground creatures.
At first, she sent a little-finger-sized wisp of netherworld fire into each level-five underground creature’s body, growing into the size of forefingers after draining it. The creatures at level-five were drained first, being the only ones who died during the previous two minutes.
The ones at level six and seven hadn’t died yet even though they had scratched their skin broken. She remembered how she killed a level-seven underground creature last time. It took at least ten minutes for that creature to die.
The energy she absorbed wasn’t enough to replenish for the energy she consumed. It did make her attack more efficient, though.
The level-eight underground gorilla was enraged because Lin Qiao had disabled a good deal of high-leveled underground creatures with her power. Because of her dark mist, it couldn’t approach her at all, making it highly irritated.
“Roar!” The creature roared with anger, then bent over slightly. Next, cracks appeared on its skin and a bright red light shone out of its cracked skin, while a strong and oppressive vibe rose from its body.
Qiu Lili and the others automatically paused, even losing the control of their own bodies for a second.
“Eh!” Even Lin Qiao felt suffocated, as if her vibe had been locked up entirely. A strong sense of crisis arose within her heart.
Under that extremely bad feeling, her body automatically flashed away from where she was. She still needed to control her dark fire, so she could not turn herself invisible, and only hide.
Still, she was a little slow. When she made the move, a coldness was sensed from her spine. Before she could react, she found herself flying in the air.
Bang!
“Pah!” By the time she realized what just happened, she had already b.u.mped into a mutated tree. Half of the tree trunk was broken, and the tree crown had fallen entirely. Meanwhile, a series of rustling noise was heard.
She fell on the ground and saw the tree pressing down toward herself. She hurriedly made a roll and sprung up, then flashed away before the tree fell upon her. However, that enormous creature, whose body was covered in glowing cracks, blocked her way.
A huge paw with sharp claws swiftly swung at her face.
She swiftly turned her body, then thrust a foot against the creature’s body and flipped in the air, nimbly dodging the claw as she sprung away. In the meantime, she swung an arm and sent out a stream of black fire. The fire flashed across the air like a snake and drilled into the underground gorilla’s nose.
“Roar!” Feeling that something had gone into its nose, the underground gorilla immediately made a step backward and sneezed a few times, panicking slightly.
“Hrrrr…” While sneezing, the creature slapped its nose quickly, even exhaling deeply a few times through the nose.
At that time, Lin Qiao had moved on top of a utility pole that was about twenty meters away from the creature, with a hand on her chest. Thankfully, she had a strong body. b.u.mping into the tree caused her no harm and only brought her a slight suffocated feeling.
She covered her chest with her hand, not because she was feeling discomfort, but because her clothes were torn by that creature’s huge claw!
Nothing could be more frustrating for a girl than having her clothes torn during a battle!
