Chapter 541 Test Summoning Altar

    When Wang Tao came to the factory again, the place was already shrouded in green mist. From the air, it was clearly visible that there were many twisted figures inside and outside the factory.

    “The gas bomb has been activated…”

    The poison gas bomb can last for one hour. According to Peng Nan''s previous plan, one hour is enough to poison the fifth-level lord zombies. They only need to wait quietly outside for the poison gas to dissipate.

    But now... the outside of the factory is in a mess, with many traces of explosives. It is obvious that a big battle has occurred here. The place where Peng Nan and the others were going to hide was full of zombies, and they didn''t see any survivors.

    Among this group of frozen zombies, there was a zombie that was exceptionally tall, estimated to be more than three meters tall. It was holding something in both hands and was munching with its head lowered. Suddenly, it seemed to feel something, and it suddenly raised its head, revealing the big mouth full of blood and the disfigured human head in his hand.

    …"It seems that they are already in danger."

    ??Seeing the head in the hands of this sixth-level lord zombie, Wang Tao''s face looked a little ugly.

    He didn’t feel sorry for those people, after all, he wasn’t familiar with them. But as a human being, he definitely doesn''t want to see humans being used as food rations.

    “My perception is quite sharp, but it’s useless. I have to die.”

    ?Wang Tao asked the golden eagle to dive directly.

    【HP: 500000/500000】

    【Mana amount: 300000/300000】

    【Level: Level 6·Lord】

    【Awakening: Ice Body】

    ?This sixth-level lord zombie is the one that the golden eagle is following. Its awakening is exactly the same as the awakening of the three fifth-level lords.

    ??In addition to this sixth-level lord zombie, there are many sixth-level elite zombies and fifth-level elite zombies around... The size of this zombie group is not small.

    But for Wang Tao now, it is naturally not a problem.

    ——

    ??The golden eagle was very fast and flew over the sixth-level lord in an instant, grabbing it hard. This is just the zombie trying to hide, but failing.

    ?【-32732】

    After the golden eagle succeeded in one attack, he immediately climbed up without any hesitation.

    But three black figures jumped down from the back of the golden eagle. They were Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue and Lightning.

    ??The sixth-level lord zombie only found the golden eagle, but did not find anyone on the golden eagle''s back.

    ?After being struck by the golden eagle, it was about to grab the golden eagle''s claws and try to pull the golden eagle down from the air. The appearance of Wang Tao and the others caught the zombies off guard.

    boom!

    【-32845】

    【Curse: Bleeding】

    ?Wang Tao raised his sword and struck the lord zombie on the head hard.

    ?The golden eagle''s blow just now almost knocked it down. After Wang Tao made up for the blow, it could no longer stand still and was directly knocked away.

    But while the sixth-level lord zombie was still in the air, there was only a flash of sword light, and there were already two deep wounds on its head that were visible to the bones.

    【-21384】

    The Lord Zombie was furious. It wanted to catch the attacker, but when it landed, the petite figure had long disappeared from its sight.

    At the same time, a huge figure appeared behind it. The mouth that was larger than its entire body revealed a mouth full of fangs, and it gave it a fierce bite.

    【-20534】

    ?But it was not only the sixth-level zombie lord, Lightning could not bite it to death. Seeing that it was about to break free, Lightning decisively threw it out. The direction of the throw happened to be Wang Tao who raised the knife again.

    boom!

    …

    A moment later, Wang Tao chopped off the head of the sixth-level frozen zombie lord with one strike.

    “Toys, pure toys.”

    ??This is the first time that Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, Lightning and Golden Eagle have joined forces to deal with the enemy after their strength increased.

    Even though the enemy is a sixth-level zombie lord, it cannot resist four monsters that appear to be fifth-level but actually have sixth-level combat power. They are simply toys!

    ??This sixth-level frozen zombie lord, let alone causing harm to Wang Tao and the others, had no chance to resist and was beaten throughout the process. In the end, he was beaten to death, and he was unable to fight back until he died.

    Although this sixth-level lord zombie is not too strong, with only half a million HP, its combat power is incomparable to that of the destructive-level Tian Hua, and even worse than the two sixth-level zombies that Wang Tao added before. But this is a genuine sixth-level lord zombie after all, and its strength is similar to that of a fifth-level giant zombie. Wang Tao was still very satisfied that they were able to deal with the sixth-level lord quickly and without any damage.

    “Clean up all the remaining zombies—wait, only clean up the fourth level and above. Keep the other zombies.”

    The sixth-level lord zombie is dead, but the other elite zombies are not dead yet. Those zombies couldn''t catch up with Wang Tao and the others, so they couldn''t join the battle.

    ?Now that Wang Tao and others have their hands free, they have time to deal with them. But Wang Tao suddenly remembered and almost forgot an important thing - he had to use zombies to test whether they could be used as sacrifices on the summoning altar!

    ?Wang Tao also needs the crystal nuclei of zombies of level 4 and above, which would be a waste if they are used for experiments. Just use zombies below level 4 for testing.

    ?So, the two men and two beasts took action again.

    ??If Wang Tao and the others teamed up to deal with the sixth-level lord zombie, it was considered a full-scale suppression, then when they dealt with the fifth- and sixth-level elite zombies, it was a one-sided massacre.

    It took a while, but all the zombies at level 4 and above were dead. The rest are all below level four.

    ?Wang Tao took out the summoning altar.

    【Level 7·Summoning Altar】

    【Quality: Excellent】

    【Usable times: 1/3】

    【Sacrifice: 0%】

    【Function: Consume all sacrifices and randomly summon a seventh-level creature】

    "The test takes 24 hours... Just put the altar in the factory."

    ?Although there is still poisonous gas in the factory, the poisonous gas will not kill Wang Tao in a short period of time, and the poisonous gas will soon dissipate.

    ?Wang Tao came to a building in the factory. With a thought, the altar flew out of his hands and quickly grew in size after landing on the ground. It''s almost the same size as the factory building.

    ??Nearly all the zombies in the factory were killed by the poison gas, so Wang Tao threw all the zombies outside into the factory. These zombies had all their limbs removed and were unable to move.

    The zombies seemed to have no reaction when they fell into the altar, but Wang Tao couldn''t put away the summoning altar for the time being. The altar reminded him that he had to clean the altar.

    “All that’s left is to wait... Whether it will happen or not depends on tomorrow.”

    ?Wang Tao walked out of the factory and began to collect the trophies of the zombies that had just died. Even adhering to the principle of not wasting, Wang Tao threw all the dead zombie corpses on the altar. Anyway, it’s a test, so multiple test points won’t hurt.

    At this time, Jiang Shixue suddenly called Wang Tao, saying that she had detected someone underground.

    ?Wang Tao immediately came outside the factory and used his mental power to detect it.

    “Huh? Is it them? It turns out they hid underground. They were not completely wiped out, but they were miserable..."

    There were 16 people in that group before, but now there are only 3 people left. All 12 level three superpowers were gone, including Yu Li, who had the highest defense. Only Peng Nan, Shen Cuishan and Zhuo Song were left. But the conditions of these three people were not very good. They all looked like they were still breathing their last breath, and they felt like they might burp at any time.

    ?Wang Tao searched for it and found that the entrance and exit of the basement was actually inside the factory. No wonder the zombies didn''t find them.

    ?The factory was full of poisonous gas. Wang Tao was too lazy to go in, so he dug a hole very violently.

    In the basement, listening to the sound of digging above their heads, Peng Nan and the others were completely desperate.

    They just heard the sounds of fighting above. They didn''t know who was fighting with the terrifying sixth-level lord zombie. They prayed that the sixth-level zombie lord would be attracted away in the end, giving them a chance to escape. But I didn''t expect that the battle would end so quickly... It was obviously impossible for humans to win a battle that ended so quickly. The sixth-level lord zombie had another meal.

    ?This makes the three of them even more uncomfortable. They dare not go out until the sixth-level zombie leaves. Their current state does not support them staying any longer...

    But after all, there is still a glimmer of hope because the sixth-level lord zombie did not detect them.

    But now...listening to the sound of digging above their heads, the three of them knew that they were completely doomed.

    They didn''t understand why the sixth-level lord zombie suddenly discovered them. If they had known it, they might as well have run away desperately, just like Yu Li did before, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope. But it''s too late to say anything now. The three of them have no chance now. If they go out from the exit now, they will be poisoned to death. If you don''t go out, you can only wait for the sixth-level lord zombie to come to your door...

    “Ahem, forget it, you can’t escape. Let’s use our last resort later and give it a try. It’s good to cause some damage to it...”

    Peng Nan sat in the corner and said weakly.

    "Um…"

    Shen Cuishan and Zhuo Song, who were equally weak, nodded.

    ?Just as they were preparing for a last-ditch effort, the ceiling of the basement was finally hollowed out, and they saw a dazzling light. But no zombies came in, but a faint human voice sounded from the entrance of the cave.

    “It’s safe outside, you can come out.”

    …”

    Peng Nan and the three of them looked at each other, and they all wondered if they had heard a hallucination before they died. But all three of them heard it, and the content was exactly the same. It seemed like it wasn''t an illusion? !

    “I feel like this voice is a bit familiar...”

    ?Zhuo Song opened his mouth.

    ?Peng Nan and Shen Cuishan looked at each other, and they could see the shock and disbelief in each other''s eyes.

    "It''s him-"

    “Liu Bo!”

    But, how is it possible!

    Liu Bo should have died long ago! He might have died after accidentally walking out of Peng Nan''s second space! Even if he didn''t die at that time and survived, he would definitely die if he encountered a sixth-level lord zombie later!

    ??But the voice outside is indeed Liu Bo. As awakened people, their memory has no problem. As long as they are sure it is not an illusion, then the voice is Liu Bo!

    ??Did the sixth-level lord zombie outside leave on his own? Or was Liu Bo attracted by something? It’s impossible for Liu Bo to kill the sixth-level lord zombie, right?

    “Brother Liu, is that you?”

    Shen Cuishan asked immediately.

    ?Wang Tao outside was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he casually used Liu Bo as a fake name.

    "It''s me. Since you are not dead, come out quickly, otherwise it will be a big loss if you are seriously injured and die."

    It is indeed Liu Bo!

    ?Although the three of them still couldn''t figure out what was going on, their survival instinct still made them crawl towards the entrance of the cave.

    ??When the three of them got out of the ground one after another, they found that there were no zombies outside! Not to mention zombies, there isn''t even a corpse... The zombies are gone?

    “Don’t be in a daze, if you don’t want to die, just use these things.”

    ?Wang Tao handed them a medical kit and a rejuvenating potion.

    ??The three of them were seriously injured, and there were no wet nurses or doctors here. The medical kit could only slow down their death. The effect of the rejuvenation potion is similar to that of adrenaline, which can restore a person''s physical strength and spirit, but the effect is much stronger than adrenaline. After the injection, as long as they are not harmed again, it is basically equivalent to locking the blood for a certain period of time. . They took advantage of this time to go back quickly, there was still hope.

    Three of them all knew the medical kit, and they skillfully took out various items in the medical kit for their own use. But they don''t know what the rejuvenating potion is.

    “It can save your lives for the time being.”

    ?Wang Tao is too lazy to explain too much.

    But these words were enough to make the three of them even more excited.

    They are in a very bad state at this time. Even if there are no zombies outside, there is still a question whether they can return to the Silver Snake base. Unless there is a doctor or wet nurse to treat them, but this condition is obviously not available now.

    ??And if the potion given by Wang Tao can really have the effect Wang Tao said, then they can go back after finding the vehicle hidden not far away!

    The three of them did not hesitate and directly used the rejuvenating potion.

    After a moment, their pale faces turned rosy visibly, and their faces showed visible surprise.

    –

    Shen Cuishan knelt directly in front of Wang Tao.

    “Thank you Brother Liu for your life-saving grace!”

    ??The other two people reacted a little slower, but they also learned to kneel down to Wang Tao in a decent manner.

    “Thank you for saving me!”

    No matter what the situation is here, no matter where the corpses led by the sixth-order lord are, it is a fact that they were rescued by Wang Tao. If it weren''t for Wang Tao, even if there were no zombies outside, they would not dare to go out. The final outcome would be to be trapped in the basement.

    So Wang Tao was a life-saving grace to them, and they should be grateful.

    “It’s a small matter.” Wang Tao waved his hand, and then asked, “What happened here after I left?”

    leave? Did Liu Bo leave before?

    After the three of them temporarily felt no physical pain, their thoughts became much clearer. However, they didn''t ask any more questions. Shen Cuishan immediately explained to Wang Tao.

    After discovering that Wang Tao was missing, they did not change their plan, but just when all the gas bombs were detonated and they were hiding outside waiting for the one-hour countdown and praying that all the zombies in the factory would not come out, another group of zombies suddenly came outside. !

    When they discovered the group of zombies, the leader of the group of zombies also discovered them. Without giving them any time to react, the zombies ran directly towards them. It was only then that they discovered that the leader of this group of zombies was actually a sixth-level lord!

    In a head-on battle, even the fifth-level lords cannot be defeated, let alone the sixth-level lords. They can only run! But they couldn''t outrun the sixth-order lord, and were soon overtaken.

    Then... it was a one-sided massacre. Those 12 level three superpowers are the weakest here, and naturally they are also the first to die.

    Yu Li relied on his high defense and wanted to rush out. Their car was hidden not far away, and there were many bombs and other weapons on the car. If we can use cars and weapons, there might be a glimmer of hope.

    But Shen Cuishan and the others saw with their own eyes that Yu Li was too slow and was directly caught by the sixth-level lord zombie, and then his head was torn off! The defense he was so proud of couldn''t block a single blow!

    Seeing that there was no way to escape, the three of them had no choice but to escape into the factory. When they were installing bombs, they discovered the basement of the factory. There is no poisonous gas down there, so you might be able to avoid it for a while.

    ??But there was still some distance after all. During the escape process, they were also caught up by zombies and were beaten to death. Even the one fighting them was not the sixth-order lord, but other elite zombies. If a sixth-level lord takes action, their fourth-level strength will not be able to withstand the second blow.

    ?Although in the end, they managed to enter the basement carrying the poison gas, they only breathed their last breath.

    ?This kind of poisonous gas cannot kill the sixth-level lord, but the sixth-level lord seemed a little scared, so he didn''t enter the factory, but he didn''t leave either. It seemed that he didn''t intend to leave...

    Shen Cuishan and the others were definitely not able to withstand the second poisonous gas in their condition at that time. There were still a group of corpses led by the sixth-order lord above them...so the only thing waiting for them was death.

    ?But they didn’t expect that they would be rescued, and the person who rescued him was the uninvited guest Liu Bo who they thought had died long ago.

    "That''s it...then you should go back quickly, don''t delay the treatment."

    After Wang Tao roughly understood the situation, he asked them to leave quickly.

    The three of them looked at each other, and Peng Nan asked tentatively:

    “Mr. Liu Bo, where are the corpses outside?”

    He could see that there were some traces of battle here, but not a single corpse was left behind... He speculated that the group of corpses must have left, although he didn''t know why. Could it be that Mr. Liu Bo led him away?

    ?? But it feels impossible... Although Liu Bo has a harmless little girl and a cute and handsome looking big wolf dog beside him, he is a fourth-level awakened person after all. How can you lure away the sixth-order lord?

    “Killed by me.”

    Wang Tao tells the truth.

    ??But no one believes it yet. Peng Nan and the others opened their mouths, not knowing what to say for a moment.

    It’s outrageous that Liu Bo could lure away these zombies. Did he kill these zombies? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

    To put it bluntly, even if you really kill the zombies, there must be some corpses left behind...

    The three of them looked at each other and were not ready to ask.

    They felt that maybe it was Liu Bo who had lured him away! It''s just that Liu Bo used some stuff from the bottom of the box, so it wasn''t appropriate to tell them... so they wisely stopped asking.

    At this moment, Shen Cuishan suddenly said:

    “Brother Liu, in order to thank you for your life-saving grace, I want to tell you a very valuable news. Can we talk to you alone?”

    Peng Nan and Zhuo Song both looked at Shen Cuishan strangely. Obviously, they didn''t know what the news Shen Cuishan was talking about.

    ?Wang Tao was a little surprised, but still nodded.

    "OK."

    After the two of them moved away from Peng Nan and the others, Shen Cuishan approached Wang Tao and whispered:

    “I have discovered a place before, and you can improve your strength after entering it! But the price is the lives of other people... Not many people know this place, I am one, and Peng Nan and the others don’t know..."

    …”

    ??The reason why Shen Cuishan seduced those other people was probably because of this, right? And Shen Cuishan''s blood volume is indeed higher than theirs...

    ?But why does this thing Shen Cuishan talk about look so much like a summoning altar?
