Chapter 1206 -496: Getting the Fruit
“Awakening Fruits really do attract other creatures when they ripen!”
Wang Tao furrowed his brow.
Last time, a Giant Eagle suddenly arrived when the Awakening Fruit ripened, but he wasn’t sure it was because of the fruit, as it was the first time. Now, as the Awakening Fruit is about to ripen again, something else is coming. This couldn’t be a coincidence—it must be the Awakening Fruits attracting them!
However, it was too far away for Wang Tao to see what kind of monster it was. He only had a vague feeling that something fierce was coming, most likely a Level 5 Lord. And it seemed there was not just one—they probably had quite a few underlings!
“Enemies are coming!”
Wang Tao immediately said.
“Ah? Roger that!”
Although Pan Jian was surprised—wasn’t this place supposed to be safe?—he still promptly notified everyone to be ready for any unexpected occurrences.
“Awakening Fruits attract monsters after they mature.”
Wang Tao succinctly explained.
“So that’s it!”
Pan Jian finally understood.
Upon hearing that monsters were coming, the trainees weren’t scared but instead excited. Now, they had many people and lots of top combat power, especially with Wang Tao, a Tier-Five Awakener, which made them feel extremely safe!
Soon, the tall Awakening Tree began to wither, and the golden Awakening Fruits fully appeared in everyone’s sight.
“Wow!”
Many people couldn’t help but exclaim in awe; the scene was even more spectacular than how Wang Tao had described it.
Wang Tao and the others quickly collected the ripe Awakening Fruits before they hit the ground.
“More than last time, last time there were 33 Awakening Fruits, this time there are 99!”
Wang Tao glanced at the Awakening Fruits he collected, noting that, besides the threefold increase in quantity, their attributes were not any different from before.
[Awakening Fruit: Extremely delicious, loved by many creatures.]
[Third Order Humans who consume can Ascend to Fourth Order.]
[Third Order Non-Humans have a small chance of Awakening after consumption.]
[Humans Above Third Order who consume gain 1 Awakening Key.]
[Non-Humans Above Third Order slightly increase constitution after consumption.]
[Creatures Below Third Order who consume are highly likely to explode and die.]
Wang Tao had thought that these Awakening Fruits wouldn’t be of much use to them, the Fourth-order Awakeners.
However, after seeing this information, he remembered that humans Above Third Order could gain an Awakening Key from eating them! These 99 Awakening Fruits were akin to 99 physical Awakening Keys! He no longer needed them, since he had enough keys, but Lan Yulian and others who wanted to undergo a Second Awakening could still benefit from them.
But now wasn’t the time to consider this. Wang Tao immediately pocketed the Awakening Fruits and then rushed toward the front of the crowd.
At this moment, a large group of… zombies emerged from the darkness in front of the crowd!
“Zombies? There are zombies inside this Rift?”
Seeing these zombies appear, everyone was a bit puzzled and became more vigilant.
If there were zombies, shouldn’t they have been discovered earlier? Could these zombies have been hiding somewhere? That would be far too cunning for zombies!
Wang Tao’s expression wasn’t as surprised, especially after seeing that many zombies were missing arms and legs, which gave him a rather strange look on his face.
“If I’m not mistaken, these zombies must have jumped down from outside the Rift, but the Rift is deep, so some zombies have broken their legs…”
Wang Tao remembered the sight of a massive Zombie Herd falling into the Rift the first time he saw it. This time, the smell of the Awakening Fruits must have lured the zombies from outside…
Even if the zombies were physically disabled, it didn’t affect their HP much, but it did hamper their mobility, hence their Combat Power.
Therefore, although there seemed to be many zombies and their levels weren’t low, with the lowest being Third-order Elites and most being Fourth or Fifth-order Elites… their reduced combat capabilities meant they were of little concern.
The main concern was that Level 5 Lord… Found it!
As the zombies flocked forward in a swarm, Wang Tao found that Level 5 Lord—it was another Frozen Zombie Lord!
Wang Tao had previously killed such a Zombie Lord, but that one was only Level 4, whereas this one was Level 5.
[HP: 402482/500000]
[Mana: 400000/400000]
[Level: Level 5, Lord]
[Awakening: Ice Cone Summon]
[Ice Cone Summon: Summons a huge ice cone.] freeweɓnovel.cѳm
[Status: Freezing aura]
[Freezing aura: Self’s movement speed reduced, Ice attribute defense increased, attacks carry Ice attribute. Enemies within a 15-meter radius are slowed and their Ice attribute defense is reduced.]
Compared to the Level 4 Frozen Zombie Lord from before, this Level 5 one was obviously stronger. However, as it staggered towards him with black blood seeping from its forehead, Wang Tao found it somewhat hard to maintain his composure.
Clearly, not only had it broken its leg, but it had also hit its head, losing nearly a hundred thousand blood…
This was a stroke of luck as it meant Wang Tao could conserve some energy.
He immediately called out loudly:
“These are all Frozen Zombies, and there’s a Fifth Rank Ice Zombie Lord! Remember what the teachers taught you, try not to get too close to the Frozen Zombies!”
Before leaving, the teachers had already discussed the situations they might encounter outside with the trainees.
Hearing that these were Frozen Zombies including a Lord, the trainees instantly tensed.
They knew that a horde of Frozen Zombies was terrifying, and if there was a Lord among the group of Frozen Zombies, it would be even more dreadful!
That was because if those Frozen Zombies gathered together, their strength would be greater than the sum of their parts. And if there was a Frozen Zombie Lord, it would be considerably more potent, as if 1+1 was greater than 4 or even more.
