Killing the brain worm has always been Ye Zhongming's first choice.
It is also a tactical necessity. When the brain worm had not left and arrogantly only left a level 3 hundred-handed zombie to protect itself, Ye Zhongming had already formulated a battle plan in his heart.
The hundred-handed zombie was indeed very powerful; its strength, speed, flexibility of its tentacles, and attack power all posed significant problems for Ye Zhongming. Even the powerful professional skill of the radiant seal blade master couldn't kill it in one strike. Normally, when encountering this monster, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t have full confidence in victory.
But today, Ye Zhongming at least knew one thing the hundred-handed zombie had to do: protect the brain worm.
Sure enough, when the earth yellow pill dashed forward, two of the remaining tentacles of the hundred-handed zombie suddenly curled back and directly ensnared the waist of the earth yellow pill in mid-air!
The precise timing startled the golden big dog.
However, the earth yellow pill was after all a second-level mutated dog, one that had evolved from consuming the flesh and blood of second-level mutated lifeforms. In a moment of crisis, it showed no hesitation. Its coarse and sturdy fur shot forward towards the brain worm, and without looking at the result, its body suddenly curved in the air, twisting its big head to bite at the tentacle that had ensnared it.
Ye Zhongming's body also shifted in the direction of his pet dog's attack, making it seem as if he couldn't withstand the attacks of the hundred-handed zombie's tentacles.
The hundred-handed zombie's body turned as well.
Keeping both enemies in sight was a natural instinct in combat. At this moment, Ye Zhongming pointed behind the hundred-handed zombie.
In the forest, materials for the basic summoning technique were everywhere.
A large tree instantly transformed into a treant draped in brown bark, its two massive wooden arms swung towards the back of the hundred-handed zombie's head.
In an instant, the hundred-handed zombie was attacked from three sides.
The brain worm was caught off guard by the fine needle-like attacks from the earth yellow pill after its mutation upgrade, and could only raise its arms to block its face. The golden hard fur pierced through its arms and brutally stabbed into the face of the brain worm-controlled Captain Ye. If it hadn't tilted its head back in a moment of crisis, those golden hairs might have struck its eyes, penetrating into the brain and dealing damage to the brain worm itself.
This made the brain worm incredibly furious. It covered its face with its strangely shaped hands and opened its large mouth, emitting a silent wave.
Bang!
The treant's thick wooden arms slammed into the back of the hundred-handed zombie, the force strong enough to make the zombie's tentacles writhe violently in the air. The two tentacles that had ensnared the earth yellow pill stiffened and were bitten by the big dog, the sharp teeth piercing into the tentacle and tearing it apart with a violent shake.
Ye Zhongming's edge of the moon was not idle either; he slashed accurately at the two heavily injured tentacles, severing them.
The three-pronged attack instantly made the already injured hundred-handed zombie pay a heavy price, letting out a wail as it lost its balance and fell to the ground!
How could Ye Zhongming miss this opportunity? He raised his knife to end the creature's life.
But before he could act, a stone the size of a human head suddenly flew out from the side of the forest, hurtling towards Ye Zhongming with such speed it almost reached him in the blink of an eye.
The sudden attack caught Ye Zhongming off guard, and he quickly raised his arm shield to block in front of him. After a loud crash, he was pushed back several steps, feeling numbness in his left arm before he finally steadied himself.
Looking up, he saw a huge figure slowly emerging from the place where the stone had flown out. About three meters tall, it exuded a strong sense of oppression, its bear-like face covered in thick scars.
