Golden Knight is not a person's name; it is a type of mutated zombie.
This kind of life form has almost no difference from humans in appearance... except for being naked and entirely golden.
However, the Golden Knight is one of the few eighth-level lives in Xingzhou City, and it is an exceptionally powerful one.
The Golden Knight is a zombie, but unlike the spirit woman or other types of similar variants, it prefers to operate alone rather than surrounded by many minions.
There is a certain disdain for its kind that originates from the magic crystal.
Even when it is extremely hungry, it has no qualms about slaughtering and consuming its fellow zombies.
Perhaps due to the fact that zombies are mutated from humans, after evolving to a high level, their intelligence tends to be slightly higher compared to other mutated life forms of the same level.
Their thought processes are more flexible, and they are better at utilizing external conditions in battle.
Other high-level zombies have considered taking down this outlier known as the Golden Knight, after all, it represents a solid source of energy of the same origin, meaning there would be no worries about rejection after absorption.
However, in the vastness of Xingzhou City, with so many zombies around, the attempts to target the Golden Knight were not limited to just one or two groups, yet all have failed, instead becoming food for the Golden Knight and a source of its evolutionary energy.
The Golden Knight possesses formidable capabilities, one of which is its exceptional defense. That golden appearance is not just showy but represents solidity and toughness.
Another aspect is that the Golden Knight excels at area attacks, making it adept at dealing with group battles.
This type of mutated zombie is extremely rare and not well-known. Xingzhou City is a city controlled by mutated life forms, and there are not many human evolvers, so those who have seen a Golden Knight are even fewer. Therefore, there is very little information about this type of zombie elsewhere.
But Ye Zhongming is different; he has lived once before and understands what such a life form is all about. After scouting, he discovered the existence of a Golden Knight in Xingzhou City and immediately formulated a plan to deal with it.
It was actually quite simple; Red Hair would go.
When the Golden Knight saw Red Hair from the rooftop, where it was observing the battlefield, it revealed a greedy expression.
Almost identical to humans, it disregards color and focuses solely on physical structure; this was a complete human, with even the eye sockets and skin appearing intact.
Because of its high evolutionary level, the expressions on its face were also very realistic. If not for its golden body and the magic crystal on its forehead, one might easily mistake it for a human.
Red Hair stood on the back of the undead fish dragon, holding a spear wrapped in red threads, with the spear tip pointed at the Golden Knight below, exuding a strong fighting spirit.
Since becoming an eighth-level life form, Red Hair had never truly fought against a being of the same level.
Today, she knew she could finally have a proper fight.
"Submit to me, or die."
Such intent emanated from Red Hair's mind.
The Golden Knight below was initially taken aback, clearly not expecting this beautiful woman to communicate mentally. However, it quickly revealed a mocking expression, giving Red Hair a universally recognized gesture.
Red Hair did not get angry; instead, her eyes sparkled.
Just from this action, she realized that this was an extremely rare opponent, highly intelligent and flexible in thought, making her increasingly excited.
The Golden Knight looked at Red Hair, then glanced at the distant battle, nodding as it guessed the connection between the two.
Taking a deep breath, very much like a human, the golden hue on the Golden Knight became even more radiant, until it could finally be described as brilliant.
However, this brilliance did not last long. As the Golden Knight raised its arms, a burst of golden light shot out from its body, heading straight for Red Hair.
