The second volume is called "One Heart" Chapter 16 Encounter
Time is running out. Teams from the other three continents may complete the mercenary mission at any time. We must strive to win this battle. Once we fail, after deducting the time for death and assembly, there will be no second chance.
I summoned 700 zombies in six times. Of course, the old zombie was also summoned to my side to serve as my personal guard. Having such a strong bodyguard can make me feel much more at ease. When encountering danger, I can at least resist the three-headed flame wolf for a while, and I will not be killed by a single blow like ordinary zombies. Seeing a large number of zombies guarding my side, it is easy for the enemy to break through, and I don’t feel safe at all. It’s a pity that I haven’t had time to subdue the old zombie’s private army, so I can’t mobilize it. Otherwise, if I summoned a few hundred more zombies, the battle would be more secure.
Yun Wuying sent out an alarm, and Afeng and his men who were in charge of reconnaissance outside retreated. It was time for the Three-Headed Flame Wolf to patrol its territory every day. This was also our chance to ambush it. As soon as we get close to the bushes, my seven hundred zombies will rush out and attack.
Yun Wuying also retreated to his hiding place. The three-headed fire wolf had appeared in our sight. The battle was about to begin. We were all a little nervous. It was not that we were worried that we would not be able to trap it, but we were afraid that the three-headed fire wolf was too timid. When it saw so many enemies rushing towards it, it would avoid the fight and flee. Then we would have no way to deal with it and could only declare the mission failed. It was simply impossible to command the zombies to catch up with the wolf.
The three-headed flaming wolf was strolling leisurely in its territory just like in the past. The three heads looked around from time to time, observing the surrounding movements, without noticing the impending danger. It was not a scavenger, and the corpse stench of the zombies did not interest it. The bushes where we chose to hide would emit a strange fragrance, covering up our own body odor. This was also the secret of our safe hiding for so many days. In order to find such a "treasure land", Xue Wuxia and her friends put a lot of effort. In fact, the most ideal thing was to hide with the zombies, which was guaranteed to be foolproof. Unfortunately, the disgusting appearance and pungent corpse stench made them disagree. Girls are like this, they pay too much attention to these superficial things. When fighting, they didn't dislike my zombie brothers. Like me, they just got used to it.
Finally we entered the designated ambush site, and at my command, the zombies lying motionless and huddled together on the ground began to shake their bodies, preparing to stand up. But of course they couldn't move together, as that would cause chaos. Under my macro-guidance, they began to gather in batches, from top to bottom, and in rows, all targeting the three-headed flame wolves not far away.
I was directing the zombie army's actions, but Xue Wuxia and the others were staring at the three-headed flame wolf nervously, observing its reaction. Xiao Niao Yiren even whispered, "Charge forward, don't run, don't escape!" If the three-headed flame wolf chooses to retreat, all arrangements will be useless.
Faced with the increasing number of zombies gathering, the three-headed flame wolf stopped, and all three heads turned over there at the same time, looking at them vigilantly, assuming a defensive posture, but did not actively move forward to attack. There were so many unknown creatures densely packed together, even if it was a mid-level level five monster, it would probably have to think twice before starting a battle.
I did not gather all the zombies in front. I gradually detoured them to the sides and then surrounded them, forming an encirclement to cut off the Three-Headed Flame Wolf's retreat and force it to fight us to the death.
Everything developed as we expected. The three-headed fire wolf might be confident in its strength and just maintained its original posture. After the initial surprise, it regained its original arrogant expression and calmly looked at the zombies that were gradually surrounding it. It did not move, with the demeanor of a general. It seemed that it was also a veteran warrior who did not take low-level zombies like me seriously for the time being.
The encirclement was complete, and it would not be so easy for the Three-Headed Flame Wolves to break out. They all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling relieved, and then turned their eyes to me again. The success or failure of the matter depended on how much effect the seven hundred zombies could play under my command.
I left 400 zombies on the periphery for defense, and gradually advanced to narrow the encirclement. I deployed 300 zombies in the inner layer to attack the Three-Headed Flame Wolf in stages. The space was limited, and we would not be able to attack at once. Attacking in batches would not only improve efficiency, but also make the Three-Headed Flame Wolf exhausted and speed up the consumption of its mental and physical strength.
"Start attacking!" I issued an attack order to the zombies. The dark forest is full of dangers. In order to avoid any more trouble, it is better to end the battle as soon as possible.
Before the zombie army could start to act, the three-headed fire wolf that was surrounded in the core finally could not stay still. All three of its heads howled to the sky, and suddenly rushed forward and started the attack.
The movement speed is not very fast, but it is relatively speaking that its strength is not outstanding. It is enough to deal with zombies. It can knock a zombie to the side with one collision. Its claws are also very sharp, and the rotten flesh of the zombies is falling off piece by piece. After a few claws, the zombies are almost turned into skeletons. The most terrifying thing is its magic attack. The speed of the "fire arrows" fired from the three heads is almost comparable to that of firearms. They are shot one after another, and the accuracy is extremely high. Most of them are shot at the vital part of the zombie's head. The place hit immediately burns with flames, and soon loses its combat effectiveness.
Although we have met the three-headed flame wolf once and have evaluated its capabilities, we were still shocked by its strength when we actually saw it in battle. If the enemy was not zombies but players like us, thirty or fifty of them would not be its opponent. No wonder no team has been able to complete the mercenary mission so far. It is too difficult.
Zombies are relatively weaker than players, with inflexible movements and no skills in combat, but their greatest advantage is that they have no fear. Unless they encounter more advanced undead creatures, they will charge forward without hesitation, even if the enemy is strong, even if it means they will die. This spirit is actually the most valuable, especially when large troops are fighting, there will never be anyone who deserts the battlefield or shakes the morale of the troops.
Seven hundred zombies surrounded them with iron walls, trying to win by numbers; the three-headed flame wolf fought alone, showing its tyrannical nature. Facing a large number of zombies, the three-headed flame wolf was not afraid and showed its strong fighting ability. Its head, claws, and body could all be used as weapons, grabbing, biting, bumping, and using magic to attack. The inner layer of zombies participating in the attack had lost more than a hundred. However, although the three-headed flame wolf was still invincible on the surface, and no zombie could defeat it, our encirclement had shrunk by half without its knowledge, and its range of activities was getting smaller and smaller. The surrounding area was gradually crowded with zombies, and it was no longer so easy to rush in and kill .
If the undead summoned to the human world die again, their bodies will soon be reduced to ashes. Otherwise, with more than a hundred corpses piled up in such a small place, there will be no place for fighting, especially the clumsy zombies, who are stupid and can't dodge, and their attacks will definitely be affected. Their souls will return to the "dead space" to gather strength again and wait for the opportunity to resurrect, and they will no longer be under my control. Watching the zombies fall one by one, my anger is getting higher and higher. These are all the fruits of my hard work, which really makes me feel distressed. Although some sacrifices are inevitable for Afeng's revenge plan and the upcoming mercenary group, I can't help feeling uncomfortable every time I have to suffer such a big loss, but I can't blame my friends. I can only vent my anger on the three-headed flame wolf in front of me. If my eyes could kill, I would have cut it into pieces long ago.
