Chapter 130: Unexpected Joy

The Hardhide Zombie was a difficult type of Three-Star Monster to deal with. Its Health Points were not very high, but its defense was extremely strong, and it had immense Strength. A heavy SUV weighing several tons could be tossed around like a toy in their hands. Xu Feng had once hunted one Hardhide Zombie with a random group, and six people died before they managed to kill it.

“This thing is not something the two of us can handle.” Xu Feng shook his head and said quietly.

If it was just one, Xu Feng and Li Jin could still fight it. If they couldn’t win, they could try their luck with the newly obtained Temptation Scroll or just kill it directly. But now there were more than twenty…

“Those rooms must have a lot of good stuff…” Li Jin looked at the open rooms around the hall and said unwillingly.

“If only we could lure one over separately…” Xu Feng pursed his lips and said.

“One?”

Li Jin’s eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement, “Right, you managed to kill two Three-Star Elites at the entrance…”

Xu Feng saw that Li Jin clearly misunderstood his strength. He couldn’t help but touch his nose, chuckled softly twice, and blushed slightly.

“I’ll try to see if I can lure one over.” Li Jin turned invisible and quietly moved forward.

Standing at the end of the passage, Li Jin did not dare to go further, afraid of alerting these zombies.

Ding~

A clear collision sound rang out on the right side of the hall, near the end of the passage.

One Hardhide Zombie that had been slowly shuffling and wandering suddenly stopped. It seemed some force made it turn around and walk toward the source of the sound.

A few seconds later, the zombie showed a confused expression on its face. Then it raised its head and looked around, its bluish face clearly showing anger.

Roar~ Roar~ The zombie roared loudly and waved its arms wildly, venting its anger.

It took a long time for it to calm down. After hesitating for a while, it continued to walk forward.

Li Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his heart beat rapidly a few times. The Mislead skill built up a lot of hate. If he were exposed now, that Hardhide Zombie would chase him forever.

Taking a deep breath, Li Jin calmed his nervous feelings and carefully observed the zombies’ movement paths.

Ding~

Another light sound, this time closer to the passage.

That zombie’s expression froze, and as if controlled again, it walked stiffly toward the sound.

Thud~

While walking, another zombie suddenly turned a corner and bumped into it. Both zombies staggered and took a step back.

Roar~ Roar~

The two Hardhide Zombies roared at each other. The one that was “Misled” suddenly broke free from the control state, appearing even angrier. Its two eyes turned blood-red, and it actually reached out and grabbed at its own kind. A damage number of six points appeared. The other Hardhide Zombie, which had already turned and was about to leave and continue wandering, paused, then also became furious, opening its mouth to bite the other. The two Hardhide Zombies actually started fighting each other.

Li Jin was stunned, his eyes showing surprise. Even he hadn’t expected such a situation. For a moment, Li Jin, who had his hand raised ready to cast a skill, didn’t know what to do. After hesitating briefly, he slowly backed away.

“Godly skill, this is.” Xu Feng’s eyes showed pleasant surprise, and he patted Li Jin’s shoulder as he spoke.

“I… I didn’t know it had this effect either…” Li Jin smiled bitterly and said.

The two looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.

Inside the hall, the roars of the two Hardhide Zombies kept ringing out.

A long time passed before the roars gradually faded.

The two went to the end of the passage to look. Sure enough, the two zombies had killed each other. Their bodies were torn into a mess, and even their heads were only half left.

“I think you alone could clear all the monsters in this hall…” Xu Feng turned his head and said.

Li Jin shook his head and said, “Not enough Energy Value…”

“Let’s continue!” Xu Feng patted Li Jin’s shoulder, his face full of relief.

Li Jin let out a long sigh. Although two Three-Star Elite Monsters were eliminated at once, his face still showed a cautious expression. He didn’t have much Energy Value left, probably enough for about twenty more uses of the Mislead skill.

Staring intently at the Hardhide Zombies’ walking routes for a long time, Li Jin finally reached out, picked up a small stone, and threw it into the hall.

Xu Feng watched for a while. Li Jin needed to use the skill about three to four times to make two zombies bump into each other. When one zombie had built up a lot of hate from the skill with no way to vent it, this small collision was like lighting a small flame next to a powder keg—it exploded instantly.

At first, Xu Feng found it interesting, but he soon felt a bit bored. He leaned against the wall by the passage, and his gaze naturally fell on the angel statue in the center of the hall.

“A Death Fortress full of Undead Creatures actually has an angel statue standing here. It really feels a bit out of place.” Xu Feng thought to himself: “This Death Fortress is from another death planet. How could there be an angel statue inside? It’s really strange. Do these Undead Creatures also like beautiful beings like angels? But that statue clearly shows a combat pose; it doesn’t seem like it was carved that way on purpose…”

Xu Feng pondered the angel statue in the center of the hall for a while, then turned his gaze to the several rooms in the hall, wondering what kind of equipment might be inside.

Time passed little by little. Outside, the sky gradually darkened. It was already near evening, with the sun setting and a streak of sunset glow appearing on the horizon. There were still over ten Hardhide Zombies in the hall, and Li Jin’s Energy Value was almost empty.

“No more Energy Value.” Li Jin retreated and said helplessly.

Xu Feng took out a few pieces of food that increased Energy Value recovery speed from his Storage Ring and tossed them to Li Jin.

Li Jin took the food, glanced at it, checked its properties, shook his head, his eyes full of envy.

Regarding Xu Feng’s Cooking Art, he felt genuine envy and jealousy. Food that could increase Health Points and Energy Value recovery—if he told others, probably no one would believe it.

It was precisely because of the Cooking Art that Li Jin had the idea of teaming up with Xu Feng. With this food, Xu Feng could act as half a healing class.

Perhaps because Li Jin hadn’t caused any damage to the Hardhide Zombies, none of the Hardhide Zombies dropped a Fate Treasure Chest when they died, which made the two somewhat disappointed.

However, they could still collect some bone materials from the Hardhide Zombie remains. At least they were all Three-Star Elite level Undead remains.

The two spent several hours and finally killed the last Hardhide Zombie in the hall. Li Jin plopped down on the ground, his face sweaty, panting heavily from exhaustion.

Several hours of continuous high mental tension would make even a Three-Star Peak expert feel tired.
