Chapter 020: The Corpse King with Unknown Abilities
A week passed, and Smail survived among the corpses.
The time to look forward to is always slow.
It was a long week that was too difficult for Smael.
These days, Smuel had to be constantly vigilant, and whenever a new corpse arrived, he would climb into the new pile and hide at the bottom of the pile.
He sprinkled some of the mushroom spores he had gotten on the corpse, because it was relatively humid here, and the high-energy mushrooms grew rapidly here, because relying on corpses to grow instead of the living dead, the energy contained in the mushrooms was greatly reduced, but it was still barely enough to satisfy his hunger, enough for Smer to survive.
During this time, two zombie guards had been in the area through the corpse pipe, when Smail jumped off the platform and hid in the rotten corpse fluid below, but was not detected.
Although he was ready to fight it at the time, the two guys were perfunctory and routine, and they didn't really check it carefully.
On the one hand, the two zombie guards are a little afraid of the corpse king stationed here, and don't want to conflict with him, on the other hand, they don't believe that Smer will come to this kind of corpse-smelling place to hide, not to mention that they are also very confident in the corpse king, the corpse king stationed here is not a capable person, but the real strength is comparable to Greon, if Smer enters here, once he is discovered by the corpse king, then he will definitely die.
The Corpse King went berserk and was crazy and irrational, which is why this place became a forbidden place in Nightmare Prison.
Today, Smail woke up from the pile of corpses again in a groggy state, and after swallowing five high-energy mushrooms, he felt refreshed, and although it was still a little difficult to breathe, the wounds on his body were basically healed.
The Devil Fruit has changed Smail's physique, greatly increasing his strength and recovery.
Those injuries on his body have been easily recovered, but as the level of the Devil Fruit increases, the more Smail's Devil Fruit core condenses, his physical functions will be improved to a new level, and at that time, if his body suffers the same damage, although he can still repair it, the speed of repair will be much slower.
Because the power of the Devil Fruit will merge with other parts of the body, such as skin, bones, and internal organs, when the body suffers a heavy blow, the energy gap required to recover will naturally increase, and it is natural that more power will be required to fill this gap.
In short, the higher the Devil Fruit level, the more difficult it is to recover from injuries.
Smael clenched his fists and made two pops, and he took off his tattered coat stained with corpse fluid, and climbed up the slippery corpse, soon to the nearest platform outside.
Previously, when the two zombie guards came over, Smail also heard some information about this corpse king from their mouths, and also knew something about the big guy outside:
It turned out that the corpse king's real name was Gizas Bower, and he was a very good young wrestler in the underground wrestling ring, and later because of this big man, he offended a powerful force and was taken captive here, sold to Erlen, and became an experiment for Dr. Fly.
During the experiment, Dr. Fly was very interested in Bowo's strong physical functions and wanted to use his body to try the transfer of the Devil Fruit, but while he was still in the preparation stage, the experiment failed, causing Bowo to go berserk after taking some kind of strange drug, and wreak havoc, and Dr. Fly was also broken by the rampaging Bower.
Later, by taking the Smile Fruit, Bower became an artificial Devil Fruit ability, but the specific ability is unknown, and the Devil Fruit level cannot be determined.
According to the Zombie Guard, this Bowo is in a state of rage, his body form will change, his strength is close to Devil Fruit level 26, he is very violent and murderous, he has no reason at all, and he once almost destroyed the Nightmare Prison, and then it was the Leech Empress herself who finally subdued this guy, and used his own ability to inject the leech virus into the body of the Corpse King, and left a power imprint, making him a tool man who only knows how to work mechanically.
At this time, the Corpse King was pushing his huge cart slowly towards the crematorium, and Ishmael observed him, and it was about ten minutes before the Corpse King could push the cart into the crematorium.
"Hehehe...... Big man, you're unlucky to meet me......"
Smail smirked, he was tired of being here, and he was ready to leave.
He had planned to push the Corpse King directly into the crematorium as it approached.
But now, Smer has changed his mind, if this corpse king really has terrifying strength as the two zombie guards said, and is still an ability, then he might as well absorb more power through the battle with the corpse king, so as to improve his strength.
Thinking of this, Smal grabbed an iron hook from the side of the platform to turn over the corpse and rushed towards the corpse king.
This iron hook was much larger than a normal furnace hook, more than two meters long, and it was still very inconvenient for Smail to use, but fortunately he was now able to manipulate the power freely, and when he gathered the power on his arm, it was not difficult to carry such a giant soldier forward.
The Corpse King spewed out turbid air from his mouth and pushed the cart with heavy steps, not even noticing Smer's onslaught, or seemingly incapable of sensing his surroundings.
Smail quickly rushed to the front, and instead of aiming at the vital point, he stabbed the corpse king in the waist and abdomen, and the iron hook hooked its skin, and Smer pulled it violently, tearing off the whole piece of flesh, and the blood was dripping.
Unexpectedly, the Corpse King didn't scream, and he didn't even feel Smail's attack at first, and Smail was dragged up because of the iron hook.
It took about seven or eight seconds for the Corpse King to finally realize that he seemed to be hurt, and then he turned his big head and looked at Smer behind him.
The face of the corpse king is the same as that of ordinary humans, looking a little stupid, and uglier than ordinary people, with a big nose, a big mouth, a mouth full of yellow teeth, a face full of pockmarks, and dirt and dirt in the eye sockets, which is very disgusting.
The Corpse King casually pinched Smail's iron hook with his hand, pulled it off his body, and grinned:
"Hey...... It's nice to tickle Bowo ......."
Then, Bauvo put down the cart and stopped with a smirk, trying to grab Smail with his hands.
Smael had planned to let the guy beat him a few times, and wait until he had absorbed enough power before killing him. But now when he really looked at this terrifying giant, Smael really felt a trace of instinctive fear.
This guy looks just horrible.
Smail laughed too, but because of the laughing effect, he quickly avoided Smer's hand and swung his hook to attack his hand.
"Hahaha......"
Smal grinned, trying to taunt the big man with the laughing effect.
Strangely, Bauwer seemed to be immune to the taunts of the laughing effect, and a brighter smile appeared on his face, looking very happy, and he easily flicked Smail's weapon with his fingers, this time slapping Smer directly into the face.
Although he was still attacking Smail, it seemed a bit like a joke, and he had completely regained his strength, and he had no intention of killing Smail.
So, instead of dodging, Smaer was slapped away by Bowo and slammed into the wall.
Smal counteracted the physical attack, feeling the power flow into his body.
Not enough...... Such an attack is not enough......
Smal thought to himself, and the smile on his face became even more eerie......
