But the problem is not—huh?

[...]

Some bloody figures floated above the Disaster Zombie’s head, instantly restoring its HP to full!

"Such strong Blood Regeneration ability? Or could it be, this is temporary Combat Power it gained by absorbing the spiritual power from its underlings?"

Wang Tao furrowed his brows.

He didn’t like fighting enemies with such strong regenerative energy.

Roar—

After being attacked, the Disaster Zombie let out a chilling roar and then made a Sprint towards Wang Tao. Despite its large size akin to a big ship, its speed was anything but slow, possessing the Speed of a Level 6 Lord.

Wang Tao quickly stepped back, then his eyes once again emitted a red glow, accurately hitting the Disaster Zombie.

HP restoration figures appeared above the Disaster Zombie’s head, quickly returning it to full health.

However, Wang Tao keenly felt that the spiritual power of the Disaster Zombie seemed to have weakened slightly.

"Could it be, the nearly tangible spiritual power on its body is actually just a temporary enhancement from its underlings, diminishing as it uses it..."

Wang Tao considered this possibility.

So, he tested a few more times, and the results were pretty much as he expected.

No matter how Wang Tao attacked, the Disaster Zombie could instantly restore its HP to full! However, each time it regenerated, the spiritual power in its body would decrease!

Although each time it reduced only a tiny portion of the spiritual power, something most people wouldn’t notice, even those with Psychic System Awakening might not see it. But Wang Tao’s spiritual power was incredibly sharp, and his strength formidable, so he noticed the difference immediately.

"If that’s the case, then this will be easier to handle..."

Wang Tao stroked his chin, already devising a strategy in his mind.

If regeneration was a natural talent like that of the Giant Zombie, it would be troublesome. But if it’s just the effect of underlings’ spiritual power, then it’s simple—just deplete all that spiritual power, right?

Without the spiritual power boost, even if the Disaster Zombie could still regenerate, it wouldn’t be able to instantly restore to full HP like now. It would definitely be much easier to deal with at that point.

However, there’s one thing to be cautious about, which is to not let it reach an area with many zombies. Otherwise, if there is a continuous stream of zombie underlings providing it with spiritual power, then it would be impossible to fight. So we could only hover around this area...

Having a plan in mind, Wang Tao quickly instructed Ding Yuqin and the others before landing immediately.

His wings couldn’t sustain flight for too long; he couldn’t stay in the sky indefinitely.

The distant Disaster Zombie, seeing Wang Tao land, was evidently very excited. Wang Tao had been harassing it from the sky, and it couldn’t do anything to him. But landing was a different story, this was its territory, and it was determined to devour this tasty human!

Boom! Boom! Boom!—

The Disaster Zombie twisted its massive body, Sprinting towards Wang Tao.

Wang Tao was fast, and the Disaster-level zombie wasn’t the type known for its speed, so it couldn’t catch up with Wang Tao.

But Wang Tao felt that just running like this wasn’t a solution. After all, the Disaster Zombie had too much spiritual power, and a single attack from Wang Tao could only deplete a tiny bit. Who knows how long it would take to exhaust it! Therefore, Wang Tao decided not to waste his own energy and instead find a "substitute".

Swoosh—

With a flick of his hand, a Golden Beetle flew out from Wang Tao’s palm.

Upon landing, the Gold Beetle quickly grew in size, and in the blink of an eye, a ten-plus meters tall Insect Clan Mech appeared in front of Wang Tao.

In Wang Tao’s hand, a huge Weapon that looked both like an axe and a shield appeared. He threw it at the Gold Beetle. At the same time, a small hatch on the belly of the Gold Beetle opened, and Wang Tao jumped right in.

Clack—

As Wang Tao entered the body of the Gold Beetle, it also grasped the Greystone Battle Shield Axe.

At this moment, the Disaster Zombie had already rushed over. Seeing the suddenly appeared Gold Beetle, it seemed somewhat puzzled. Where did that tasty human go? It seemed... to be inside this golden beetle’s stomach?

Roar!

The Disaster Zombie, without a second thought, charged at the Gold Beetle like a dump truck barreling down the road.

If it was before, Wang Tao would have simply evaded, with no need to withstand the Disaster Zombie’s Attack. But now, geared in a Sixth Rank Bug Race Mech, Wang Tao did not choose to retreat but immediately lifted the giant Rank Six Shield Axe in his hands to meet the Disaster Zombie head-on in a collision.

Bang!

A loud noise erupted, and an invisible Shockwave spread out from the center of impact, shattering the corpses of the fallen zombies around them.

Wang Tao went head-to-head with the disaster zombie, and neither of them got hurt!

Of course, since he was on the defense using a shield, the disaster zombie wasn’t much hurt either.

However, Wang Tao was extremely pleased.

Because he unexpectedly discovered that this Golden Beetle also has Spiritual Defense Power and can block Mental Attacks!

Although the Golden Beetle’s Spiritual Defense Power isn’t very high, Wang Tao’s own Spiritual Defense Power is quite strong. With the Golden Beetle added on, it was enough to block the Cataclysmic Awakening!

"Haha! I didn’t expect this surprise gain! Since that’s the case... sorry not sorry!"

Wang Tao cracked a smile, then he raised the Shield Axe in his hand and chopped towards the disaster zombie.

Since he could block the Cataclysmic Awakening, there was no longer a need to run; he could directly rely on the Golden Beetle for head-on combat!

Wearing the Golden Beetle and wielding a Shield Axe, the attack power is actually not as high as Wang Tao’s own—because he can’t use his Awakening within the Golden Beetle.

But Wang Tao doesn’t need too much attack power right now, what he needs is to deplete the spiritual power from the disaster zombie! As long as the disaster zombie’s incredible Blood Regeneration ability is gone, Wang Tao has a thousand ways to kill it!

So it doesn’t matter if the attack power is a bit low now, as long as he can withstand the Golden Beetle’s attacks.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

So, Wang Tao, wearing the Golden Beetle and holding the gigantic Shield Axe, engaged in close-quarters combat with the Disaster-level zombie!

The disaster zombie’s Awakening, although psychic in nature, its close combat was also very strong, being a Sixth Rank Disaster and totally not comparable to Rank Six Lords.

But Wang Tao wasn’t weak either. Wearing the Armed Golden Beetle wasn’t too draining for him, the Golden Beetle used Crystal Cores as energy, and as long as Wang Tao had enough Crystal Cores, he could keep on fighting. He would at most expend a little spiritual power, which was nothing to him. So he and the disaster zombie went back and forth in battle.

"This Golden Beetle... is so strong!"

"A real man’s battle!"

From a distance, watching the Golden Beetle and the disaster zombie brawl, everyone felt a bit nostalgic.

Although Wang Tao’s battles are always cool and elegant, occasionally watching this kind of no-frills hand-to-hand combat that starts with a clash is also quite interesting.

Wang Tao has already said that he wouldn’t be affected by the Cataclysmic Awakening, so everyone relaxed a lot more.

If it weren’t for the level difference, still not reaching Level 6, they would have wanted to wear the Golden Beetle and have a real man’s battle with this Sixth Rank Disaster Level Zombie.

As time slowly passed amidst the chatter of the crowd.

Before nightfall, the temporary spiritual power on the disaster zombie was finally depleted!

After a tentative axe chop that caused damage, the disaster zombie no longer immediately returned to full HP as it did before. Wang Tao also noticed that the disaster zombie’s speed and strength had weakened a lot.

"My speculation was indeed correct!"

Wang Tao took a deep breath, then directly left the Golden Beetle, spread his wings, and flew toward the disaster zombie.

Whoosh—

Flames instantly covered his whole body, and a large sword wrapped in flames and exuding black light appeared in Wang Tao’s hand.

"Now... it’s my turn to attack!"

...

The disaster zombie, now lacking temporary combat power, was no longer a match for Wang Tao.

Wang Tao bravely withstood its Cataclysmic Awakening, went full firepower, and in just a moment, plunged his sword into the head of the disaster zombie.

Clatter—

Watching a heap of stuff bursting out, Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This psychic disaster zombie was not the strongest he had encountered nor the most difficult to deal with, but it was definitely the most time-consuming. It took longer than hunting down the Giant Zombie with the Freezing Aura.

But as long as the outcome is good, the spoils of war lying before him made all of Wang Tao’s hard work worthwhile.

"That’s settled it!"

Wang Tao informed Ding Yuqin and the others, asking them to come and collect the spoils of war from the other zombies. This time, tens of thousands of zombies died, and so many Crystal Cores couldn’t be wasted.

However, all of a sudden, Wang Tao exclaimed aloud.

"Holy shit! Basic Law Force increased by 10%!"

Previously, killing zombies with Basic Law Force only increased it by 1%, without exception. But this time it increased by 10%!
