Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 10: Pale Wings

Swoosh!

Just as Liang Xiao was about to intervene, the Clawed Zombie was faster than him.

Only hearing a scream that sounded like a little girl, the twisted leg joints of the Clawed Zombie propelled it forward like a hydraulic spring, bursting with extreme speed!

In just a moment, the Clawed Zombie slashed the connecting root.

With a light sound, the crimson blood vessels were severed in half, splattering black-red tainted blood.

"Roar!"

Just as the Clawed Zombie was about to snatch the Corpse Demon Pill, a giant figure collided with it, sending it flying.

The Clawed Zombie flew like a rag doll, crashing into the wall of the stadium, creating a puddle of bloody mud.

These series of changes happened in an instant, causing Liang Xiao to stop his impulse to attack. It seemed that these two mutated zombies were not easy opponents.

Although they didn't know what the Corpse Demon Pill was, they instinctively felt that this strange pill contained highly advanced evolutionary energy.

Even more enticing than the thousands of pounds of Monster flesh from before.

"It seems that the Giant Zombie will be the ultimate winner, not bad!"

A smile appeared on Liang Xiao's lips as he watched the Giant Zombie grab the Corpse Demon Pill. After hesitating for a moment, the Giant Zombie humanely swallowed it.

Rip!

At this moment, a thin blood vessel root wrapped around the thick neck of the Giant Zombie, deeply constricting into its flesh like a steel wire.

It prevented the glowing Corpse Demon Pill from going down the Giant Zombie's throat.

"Is this a coincidence? If it's planned, then the intelligence of this Flesh and Blood Flower seems to be unreasonably high!"

Liang Xiao was amazed by this move. In his eyes, zombies, aside from their ferocity, were even less intelligent than wild beasts.

Not to mention that the Clawed Zombie instinctively knew to avoid obstacles while chasing after flesh and blood, which surprised him.

Not to mention that the timing of the Flesh and Blood Flower activating its blood vessel roots twice was impeccable.

It was as if there was a cunning predator behind it, elegantly manipulating its food in the dish, considering where to take the first bite.

The Giant Zombie, being strangled by the neck, naturally refused to sit and wait for death. Black-red blood vessels sprouted from its giant hands, reaching out to grab the root, intending to forcefully tear it apart.

But before it could exert any force, four blood vessel roots suddenly appeared and bound the limbs of the Giant Zombie.

With a strong pull, the massive Giant Zombie was lifted into the air.

Despite the struggles of the Giant Zombie, it had no leverage in mid-air. It could only roar continuously, even dropping the Corpse Demon Pill from its throat. It was swallowed by a blood vessel root like a snake, swiftly moving through the internal passage towards the center of the Flesh and Blood Flower.

The Clawed Zombie, having recovered from the previous attack, suddenly accelerated, preparing to use the same technique to sever the blood vessel roots and snatch the Corpse Demon Pill.

However, as soon as it stepped within three zhang (approximately 10 meters) of the Flesh and Blood Flower, a blood vessel spear, even more ferocious than the outer roots, pierced through its abdomen, pinning it to the wall.

Drip, drip, drip!

Three blood vessel spears pierced the body of the Clawed Zombie like a machine gun, and finally penetrated deep into its interior, greedily sucking.

As a result, the center of the Flesh and Blood Flower became even more vibrant, while the Clawed Zombie, which Liang Xiao had high hopes for, shriveled up like a tomato drained of juice.

The Corpse Demon Pill also entered the Flesh and Blood Flower in the blink of an eye.

The Flesh and Blood Flower, which had occasionally swayed like seaweed, completely froze, and it was unclear what changes had occurred within.

However, the Corpse Demon Pill was not so easily assimilated for the time being.

"What a terrifying devouring ability! Not good, Giant Zombie!"

After the shock, Liang Xiao looked at the giant zombie and saw that its struggling had slowed down significantly.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the roots binding the giant zombie had grown dense networks of blood vessels, which forcefully penetrated its body and continuously extracted some kind of substance.

"Damn it, I can't let the giant zombie be devoured too!"

Liang Xiao felt a headache and took a deep breath. He activated the Ghost Shadow Step, and his figure instantly became ghostly, unaffected by gravity. He descended from the steel frame of the stadium to the ground.

As his boots touched the ground of the gymnasium, Liang Xiao ignored the nauseating sticky sensation and raised his hand, gripping an explosive flame talisman.

"Go!"

The talisman in Liang Xiao's hand was quickly ignited by his mana, turning into a fiery ball the size of a Daoist's head, which exploded the roots binding the giant zombie.

However, when the giant zombie fell to the ground, it only made a heavy sound, making Liang Xiao feel uneasy.

He approached and saw that although the giant zombie still had some breath, most of its insides had been sucked dry, leaving only an empty shell.

The claw zombie was dead, and the giant zombie was useless.

Liang Xiao instantly felt a chill in his heart.

In Liang Xiao's ideal scenario, either the giant zombie or the claw zombie would have obtained the Corpse Demon Pill, evolved into a zombie, and then devoured the Blood Flesh Flower to enrich themselves.

Then, he would have made his move, using the essence blood imprint in the Corpse Demon Pill and the unique technique in the jade scroll to make it his own loyal zombie. That would have been a great success!

But he didn't expect that the Blood Flesh Flower, which he treated as an after-dinner snack, would be so cunning and dominant. The two mutated zombies hardly struggled before being completely devoured.

"Since things have come to this, I have to take back the Corpse Demon Pill. I can't let it all go to waste, even though I've already lost everything!"

Liang Xiao let out a deep sigh, blaming himself for being too greedy.

There was nothing wrong with being greedy; the mistake was that he couldn't succeed.

He stepped into the territory of the Blood Flesh Flower in the northern area. The roots on the ground attacked him, posing a certain threat to martial arts experts and even Innate experts of the Heavenly Mist Continent.

But they couldn't do anything to cultivators.

Liang Xiao used the perfected Ghost Shadow Step, his figure flickering and ethereal, easily passing through the outer area.

Within three zhang of the Blood Flesh Flower, the roots here were much faster and more ferocious than before. The claw zombie died in this area.

But Liang Xiao was still slightly inferior to them. Even if he couldn't avoid them, he casually threw out a wind blade talisman, cutting them into pieces and clearing a path.

"To be strict, you are still within the realm of mortals. It's already incredible that you can make me use spell talismans!"

Liang Xiao sighed. He couldn't even imagine what kind of monstrous creature the Blood Flesh Flower would evolve into if it were born in the Heavenly Mist Continent and absorbed the endless spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

He approached the core of the Blood Flesh Flower and tapped it with his hand. It made a metallic sound, completely unlike a substance formed from blood and flesh.

"Tsk, it's quite hard!"

Liang Xiao prepared to use the most powerful Thunderfall talisman from the ones he had purchased.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

The network of roots that had covered half of the stadium suddenly lost all vitality and fell to the ground, withering and hardening.

"Hmm?"

Liang Xiao's spiritual perception, nourished by mana, became extremely sharp.

He sensed that all the energy and precious materials within those roots had been plundered in an instant and absorbed into the Blood Flesh Flower.

Among them, something seemed to be gestating.

Rip!

The petals at the top of the Blood Flesh Flower tore open, and a bone-white wing suddenly stretched out, resembling bat wings and exuding a bewitching aura.
