Chapter 936 - 281: Colossus
This seems to be related to Perception.
The Perception of zombies is abnormal. They can easily detect the presence and movements of living beings but tend to overlook dead objects like traps.
The Big Horn also stood still, continuously turning its body, roaring into the surroundings. The sound spread across several nearby streets and then it sensed something, suddenly rushing out, recognizing the location of the target.
Immediately after.
Su Changxing watched as it bumped headlong into the spike trap. This time luck was on its side as it managed to avoid the large wooden spikes of the trap with Speed, only injuring its arm and losing a large chunk of flesh.
Looking further, there are at least four or five similar spike traps nearby.
This street is essentially a large trap set by someone, waiting for them to step in, putting them at a natural disadvantage.
...
Wanting to hunt a Divine Creature is not that easy, or rather, achieving this for him is as difficult as climbing to the skies.
At least He Yu thinks so, planning to take a desperate gamble, which is an extremely reckless act, close to a death wish.
Those who know about Divine Creatures are aware of their horrors; death is a minor matter, but triggering widespread pollution is a more terrifying thing.
He has many reasons to avoid and stay away, and equally many reasons to take the plunge. It’s not just to use the blood of Divine Creatures to unlock the Genetic Chain, but also to attempt to kill the Divine Creature before it causes widespread pollution.
According to his analysis, that Divine Creature should be wandering near the forbidden area’s boundary. Because its Extraordinary level is not high, it has placed many traps on the streets at the junction far from populated areas.
This is the first step. The second step is to find a method to locate and draw in that Divine Creature.
The second step is also the most difficult and crucial.
If he can lure that Divine Creature into his set traps, then he has some confidence in killing it by leveraging numerous traps for a distant hunt.
Keeping a certain distance might allow him to avoid being hunted.
After a tremor shaking the ground, he was surprised to find a backpack-carrying zombie and a Corpse Ghost wandering towards his location, moving slowly, more like strolling down the street.
"Has it come?" He Yu noticed the scene, showing excitement. "This is heaven-sent help, saving me a lot of trouble."
The Divine Creature unexpectedly bumped into him, though it’s a mystery why a Corpse Ghost came along.
However.
These are minor issues. He has set many traps here, and by using his Abilities to control the situation, even two Corpse Ghosts would find it hard to escape once they stepped in.
"It just seems like an ordinary zombie with nothing special, except for higher Perception." He started doubting his judgment, thinking that it truly doesn’t seem like a Divine Creature, as though a simple thrust of the javelin could kill it.
"Maybe it’s not this zombie, or something unexpected happened."
Just as he hesitated, he saw the backpack-carrying zombie’s eyes flare with bright azure brilliance, distorting and blurring the surrounding environment, as though a powerful entity is trying to intervene in this world.
"This..."
He Yu felt his heart pounding, instinctively sensing danger and wanting to escape.
In his ear, it sounded like a voice constantly whispering, urging him to flee, away from that strange zombie.
Poof~
A blade pierced his chest from behind, spraying crimson blood across the dirty wall in a fan shape.
"When did..."
He Yu looked down at the Silver-White Machete in his chest, finally understanding Feng Sichen’s situation back then. This zombie shouldn’t have appeared behind him, yet defied logic to suddenly and without any warning appear behind him, stabbing him.
Looking back to the previous spot, the backpack-carrying zombie had vanished, with only a struggling Corpse Ghost left in the trap.
"Hiss hiss~"
The zombie seemed to be saying something.
He was certain this was not meaningless growling but expressing something.
But he couldn’t understand at all.
Su Changxing pulled out the machete, causing blood to gush out. He truly wasn’t a match for this Extraordinary, so he had to use additional Power.
Transcending normal rules, twisting the timeline of this world, among countless timelines, there’s always one that can kill the opponent.
He never stepped into traps nor ever walked directly onto this street...
Su Changxing kicked this Extraordinary to the ground, stomped his left foot on his stomach, then grabbed the black Extraordinary Crystal from his backpack and waved it before him, asking what this thing truly was.
He Yu saw Su Changxing take out this item and widened his eyes, "How do you have this thing?"
The item in Su Changxing’s hand, although He Yu had never seen it with his own eyes, he had read detailed information about it, and it’s classified as a top-secret document, accessible only to Tier Eight Extraordinary.
For most people, this item is useless and unusable, requiring the blood of Divine Creatures to activate.
The so-called Genetic Chain isn’t a gene chain in the human body; rather, it’s such a Mysterious Item produced by the Mysterious Shop.
