Chapter 431: Chapter 429: Liu Miaomiao Gets Noticed
It had to be said, the Life Force of Mutated Zombies was truly tenacious, especially a Death Claw, which was considered a hegemon among its kind.
Even though Zuo Wenyao was a whole Realm higher than it, it still took him a full minute to kill it.
Of course, this was mainly because he hadn’t brought his Legendary Level Mecha. Otherwise, fighting an opponent a full major Realm beneath him would have been no different from beating up a child.
Zuo Wenyao stood on the Death Claw’s enormous head, panting slightly. His brows were furrowed, and his expression was grave.
Without a doubt, this was a Tier Two Death Claw, and a Tier Two Peak at that.
However, when he had just arrived, the aura emanating from it was only that of a Tier One.
Only after he activated his Divine Demon Body, making it feel a mortal threat, did this Death Claw break some sort of shackle and fully reveal the strength of a Tier Two Mutated Zombie.
In other words, it had used some unknown method to forcibly suppress its aura down to Tier One.
Frankly, this was quite terrifying.
It was precisely because of this ability that it had managed to escape the Military Department’s pursuit.
The question now was, how did it do that?
Was the price for hiding its aura high or not?
If the other Mutated Zombies from the Abyssal Plane could also do this with relative ease, it would be an absolutely horrifying development. The Military Department would no longer find it so easy to rely on their instruments to lock onto fleeing High Level Mutated Zombies.
"Old Lü, send some people over to secure this Death Claw. Take it back for dissection and study how it managed to hide its aura." Zuo Wenyao briefly explained what had just happened.
Lü Wei couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. He had previously judged it to be a Tier Two Mutated Zombie based on its size and combat power, but he had no idea about this aura-hiding business.
But he quickly realized the gravity of the situation. While making arrangements, he relayed the message back to the Military Department.
He could fully imagine the chaos that would erupt at the Military Department after they received this news.
After all, according to the original plan, they had already given up on hunting down the Tier One Mutated Zombies, but now, they absolutely couldn’t let a single one get away.
After dealing with the Death Claw, Zuo Wenyao hurried in Lin Xinghai’s direction.
A minute later, when he arrived at Lin Xinghai’s location, he saw him sitting by the roadside, panting and resting. The Giant Arm lay bleeding by the road, and the Spitter’s corpse was even further in the distance.
Seeing this scene, even an expert of the Divine Demon Realm like Zuo Wenyao was speechless for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Lin Xinghai’s monstrous level of ability had once again shattered his understanding of the world.
He walked over to the Giant Arm’s side, curious, and took a look.
The creature’s head was so mangled it was no longer recognizable. It was covered in bullet wounds, especially around the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, which were almost blasted into a bloody pulp.
However, the fatal wound was on its lower jaw.
There was an upward-angled wound there that went straight to its brain.
Undoubtedly, shooting from this angle could also bypass the protection of its skull.
Of course, even so, given the Giant Arm’s Defense Power, it would have been impossible to penetrate without twenty or thirty bullets hitting the same spot simultaneously.
"Impressive. You truly exceed my expectations time and time again." Zuo Wenyao sat down next to Lin Xinghai and couldn’t help but exclaim with admiration.
"It took over 300 bullets to kill it. I don’t think that’s anything to be proud of."
"Besides, the credit isn’t all mine. If Miaomiao hadn’t drained the Giant Arm’s Life Force, repeatedly slowing its Speed and reaction time, I wouldn’t have dared to get so close to deal damage," Lin Xinghai said.
Hearing this, Zuo Wenyao was slightly taken aback. Only then did he notice that the Giant Arm’s physical characteristics were indeed abnormal.
Many parts of the Giant Arm’s body showed signs of extraordinary aging.
He looked with some surprise at Liu Miaomiao, who was sitting quietly to the side. Her face was also a little pale, a clear sign of overusing her Superpower.
"What is your Superpower? You can even drain the Life Force of a Tier One Mutated Zombie... your Superpower is no simple thing!" Zuo Wenyao asked.
At this point, he realized their previous observations might have missed something. The talent and strength of the Liu Miaomiao before him were perhaps not much inferior to Qiu Liang’s or Yuan Zheng’s.
It was just that Lin Xinghai was so outstanding that he had overshadowed her.
"Miaomiao’s awakened Superpower is what I call Life Control. It can not only drain an enemy’s Life Force but also use that Life Force to heal allies. Oh, right, Miaomiao’s Superpower has undergone a second awakening," Lin Xinghai explained simply.
But the more Zuo Wenyao listened, the more astonished he became. He then had Liu Miaomiao demonstrate it for him on the spot.
When he personally watched a Zombie turn into a shriveled corpse within ten seconds, then cut his own arm and experienced the healing effect for himself, his eyes were filled with shock.
This Life Control Superpower was even more powerful than he had imagined.
He pulled up Liu Miaomiao’s basic information and checked it. After discovering that she was not only an A Level Genetic Assessor but also possessed a Special Physique, he was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"I thought we were lucky enough to find one Demon among the more than 30,000 candidates this time. I never expected two to show up at once," Zuo Wenyao couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
After he finished laughing, he looked at Liu Miaomiao, thought for a moment, and said, "I feel your Superpower has immense potential. It would be a great shame if it’s not fully developed."
"However, I’m probably not the right person to teach you. At our East Sea Academy, there’s a Wood Element expert at the Divine Demon Realm. Her Superpower also has healing effects. She should be the most suitable person to be your mentor, and she’s also our only female Divine Demon Realm expert. If you’re willing, I can introduce you."
"Of course I’m willing! Thank you so much, Teacher Zuo," Liu Miaomiao said immediately.
Lin Xinghai watched from the side with a smile on his face.
"Given your relationship with Lin Xinghai, I can be considered half your personal mentor. There’s no need to thank me for something like this." Zuo Wenyao waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, you two should hurry to the nearest survivor point! I’ll take care of all the Mutated Zombies along the way for you," Zuo Wenyao added before departing swiftly.
After he disappeared from Lin Xinghai and Liu Miaomiao’s sight, he immediately opened his Communication Wristwatch, typed out a message, and sent it.
’Heh! Wen Qiuying, you old broad, let’s see you try to ignore my message this time.’ Zuo Wenyao hummed a tune, in an exceptionally good mood.
