The reason why Wang Tao didn't advance to Tier 3 was because he still had two abilities that hadn't been combined to the maximum - he could fuse his abilities with other abilities to get new abilities, up to four primordial abilities into one.

So Wang Tao has been collecting other crystal nuclei.

In the past few days, a lot of crystal nuclei have arrived in his hands, and he has finally found two more suitable ones.

The first nucleus is [Fighting Cattle from the Mountain], and the second nucleus is [Charged Blow].

【Second-Order Crystal Nucleus: Fighting Cattle from the Mountains】

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Strength reduced by half)]

[Fighting Cattle from the Mountains: Consumes energy when attacking, you can attack from a short distance, and the attack will be weakened to a certain extent]

The ability to fight cattle across the mountains is still possible, and some of those small forces have this ability.

It's not the same as a shockwave, which attacks everything in front of it, and if there's an obstacle, it attacks the obstacle first. And fighting cattle across the mountains is attacking from a distance. If there is an obstacle, the attack will be blocked.

For example, the other party is wearing a suit of armor. If you hit it with a shockwave, it will hit the armor first. And if you use the mountain to fight the cow, you can bypass the armor and directly attack the opponent's body.

However, this attack is weakened to a certain extent, and the distance between them is very small, and it may only be separated by a layer of armor, a wall, or something, and it may not be effective if it is farther away. Add to that the ability a side effect of halving its power...... So in actual combat, this ability is not strong.

But this doesn't matter to Wang Tao, he can synthesize anyway. He also saved two coins before, and this one is exactly three.

A moment later, an epic Across the Mountain Fighting Bull Crystal Nucleus appeared.

Wang Tao didn't rush to fuse, but looked at the other crystal nucleus.

【Second Order Crystal Nucleus: Charged Blow】

[Quality: Excellent (40%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: weakness in one arm)]

[Charged Strike: Charge energy can be charged by consuming energy when attacking.] The longer the charge lasts, the higher the damage of this hit. Max charge time: 10 seconds】

It's a good ability, it can charge up and attack, and it might be a special move when it matters most. However, its side effects are also very large, which is equivalent to the loss of an arm.

Wang Tao also saved up a few charged one-hit crystal nuclei, and after synthesizing, an epic charged one-hit appeared.

Wang Tao feels that these two crystal nuclei should be able to be synthesized with vibration and shock, but whether it will work or not will have to be tried.

He extracted the +10 dash ability from the first tier on his body, and then fused a Fight Bull across the mountain first.

"Sure enough!"

Seeing that the success rate was 92%, Wang Tao didn't say a word and synthesized directly.

After the synthesis was completed, Wang Tao didn't even look closely, and continued to fuse the charged blow again.

This success rate is 90%, and Wang Tao once again confirmed the fusion.

[Fusion Successful, New Ability: Level 2 Level 1: Fusion]

[Integration: Energy consumption, high-frequency vibration, shock waves, fighting cattle across the mountain, and charging a blow]

Looking at this ability, Wang Tao didn't say a word, and used the 9 all-round crystal nuclei that had been prepared long ago.

After a few moments, all the crystal nuclei were fused.

And Wang Tao's blue volume has just reached 20,000!

"We're just one last ability...... Gotta do your research. ”

He doesn't have any crystal nuclei in his hands at the moment. He wants to fuse perception, but there are not too many perception crystal nuclei at the moment, and there is still one missing. We'll have to wait a little longer.

Next.

Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng left early in the morning.

Others continued to form teams to hunt zombies, and Wang Tao also continued to search for the mother zombies with Jiang Shixue.

However, Wang Tao is not going to go to the vicinity of the diving hall today, he has searched there for a long time, but he has not found anything. So he's going to search other buildings today to see if there are any clues inside them.

Not to mention, there are really a lot of zombies.

Not all zombies are attracted to the vicinity of the diving hall, and there are quite a few zombies inside the building. Although it was dark inside, it had no effect on Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue.

Wang Tao encountered several powerful third-order elite zombies. I got a lot of crystal nuclei and potions. It's a harvest, not in vain.

And at a certain moment, Jiang Shixue suddenly raised her head.

"Brother, I noticed that something seems to be watching me......"

"Huh?"

Wang Tao immediately became vigilant.

The stronger the strength, the more acute the perception will be. In many cases, these perceptions are not delusions.

Wang Tao followed Jiang Shixue's gaze, which was the direction of the gymnasium. He didn't see anything.

So he used his plant affinity ability to carefully perceive it in the gymnasium, and he didn't seem to feel anything else except for some ordinary zombies.

Although Wang Tao's plant affinity ability is not very accurate, the range is large, and he immediately expands the range.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Wang Tao felt that something was not quite right somewhere...... And that place - is a park next door to the gymnasium.

"Let's go!"

Wang Tao immediately pulled Jiang Shixue and ran to the park.

The park is full of flora, and when you come to it, you feel like you're in a primeval forest.

Since Wang Tao's plant affinity can be perceived through plants, he has already sensed this place and has not found anything wrong.

And when he passes by here every day, he senses it once a day to make sure he doesn't miss something.

But now that he thinks about it, although he has sensed this place several times through his plant affinity, he has never taken the initiative to come in.

Maybe something was overlooked?

After he and Jiang Shixue entered the park, they slowly groped very cautiously.

About an hour later, Wang Tao looked puzzled.

"Why nothing?"

He and Jiang Shixue both felt that something was not quite right here, because there were not a single zombie here!

Even if many zombies were attracted away by the generals, but this park has such a large area, and there is not even a single first-order ordinary zombie in it? This is clearly not right!

But Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue searched for more than an hour, but found nothing......

And Wang Tao's plant affinity ability can't be fake, he has repeatedly sensed through this ability, and there really doesn't seem to be anything abnormal here.

"Xiaoxue, is there anything else we haven't searched?"

Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue beside him and asked.

Jiang Shixue tilted her head and thought for a moment, and then pointed to the artificial lake next to the park:

"There is only the lake near the park that has not been searched."

"In the lake?"

Wang Tao frowned.

The sports center has a large artificial lake, next to the south gate of the gymnasium, the park, and several other buildings.

When Wang Tao entered the gymnasium before, he walked on a bridge over an artificial lake.

And before Wang Tao...... Subconsciously ignore this place!

"Check it out!"

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue came to the lake. The water is so muddy that you can't see anything clearly.

"There may be a problem here......"

Wang Tao frowned, maybe the problem was in the lake. But he didn't dare to go down to this muddy lake, who knows what was down there.

After thinking about it, Wang Tao went to catch a few ordinary zombies and threw them into the lake.

Thump~

The zombie struggled on the surface of the lake for a while, and slowly sank into the lake.

Wang Tao waited for a long time, but there was no movement in the lake.

Then Wang Tao took out some large dried fish from the miraculous stomach pouch, selected a few large pieces and threw them into the lake.

A moment later.

Gollum~

Suddenly, bubbles bubbled up in the murky water!

"There's something down there!"

After that, Wang Tao threw some pieces of meat and other things, but the lake water was only gurgling and bubbling, and nothing came out.

The lake was too turbid for Wang Tao to go down......

There was some stalemate.

"I don't believe it, I have to get you out today!"

At noon, Wang Tao returned to the building.

He found the three women who were rescued by Nie Siyan.

"I need blood ......"

“……”

The three girls were a little scared, and Wang Tao's words made them feel like they were going to be murdered.

Among them, the first woman who was rescued by Nie Siyan spoke cautiously:

"Mr. Wang, I am willing to donate blood! But if it's too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it......"

She is grateful to Nie Siyan for saving her life, and she is willing to do something she can.

"I don't need much, I won't kill you."

Wang Tao brought two plastic bottles, and then a delicate scalpel appeared in his hand without knowing anything.

“……”

The woman suddenly regretted a little, she thought that Wang Tao was using a needle to draw blood, but Wang Tao directly used the knife...... How much blood is going to be blessed!

But now it's too late to regret it, so she had to roll up her sleeves, stretch out her wrists, and close her eyes, revealing a look of being slaughtered.

The other two women peeked at the place, as if they were gloating.

After Wang Tao disinfected the woman's arm with the medicine in the medical kit, he slashed the blood vessels on her arm.

The woman's body trembled, but she still didn't dare to open her eyes.

The scalpel is very sharp, but it doesn't hurt much, at least not for the time being. It's just that she feels terrible in her heart, and she always feels that she will bleed to death......

Wang Tao naturally couldn't let her bleed to death, he stared carefully, and after feeling that it was almost over, he suddenly pinched the woman's arm.

"Hmm~"

The woman snorted, not in pain, but in fright.

Wang Tao immediately took out a medical kit to stop the bleeding for her.

Until Wang Tao bandaged her wound with a bandage and told her that it was okay. The woman opened her eyes a little pale.

"Thank you, go back and wait for Lan Yulian to come, let her treat your injuries." Wang Tao said as he took out a red crystal nucleus from his arms and put it in her hand, "This will be given away." ”

Looking at the red-quality second-order promotion crystal nucleus in her hand, the woman was a little dumbfounded.

"Red Second Order...... Promoted to crystal nucleus? ”

She was only the first order, and the second order promotion crystal nucleus was exactly what she needed now, not to mention that this was still a red one!

"Thank you!"

She hurriedly thanked her, but only Wang Tao's back was left in front of her.

The two women next to them were a little dumbfounded, and then they were envious and regretful.

If they had known that they would be able to get a second-order red promotion crystal nucleus by donating some blood, they would definitely rush to come!

……

Wang Tao took fresh blood and came to the edge of this artificial lake again.

Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan were also called by him, but Wang Tao asked them to wait for Wang Tao's notice from a distance.

"I don't believe you haven't come out yet!"

Wang Tao directly sprinkled this fresh blood into the lake.

Gollum~

Sure enough, the murky water of the lake boiled.

A moment later.

Hula-

A rotting mouth suddenly appeared, swallowing all the blood in one gulp!

The big mouth was less than a meter away from Wang Tao, and Wang Tao could smell a rotten stench.

Wang Tao, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately let the roots of the entwined tree cover his whole body and turned into a "root monster", and then he directly grabbed the upper and lower jaws of this big mouth and dragged it to the shore!

"From—"

Then Wang Tao found that he couldn't pull it!

On the contrary, this big-mouthed monster was about to sink into the lake, Wang Tao was dragged into the lake, and cracks appeared on the ground under his feet!

Jiang Shixue hurriedly came to help, but even if she was added, she couldn't do it!

"Come on!"

Wang Tao shouted.

Boom Boom –

Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan charged in front of Wang Tao at the same time, and they also grabbed this big mouth!

After Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan got involved, this big-mouthed monster couldn't sink in an instant.

"Come, one, two, three, up!"

Wang Tao shouted, and everyone exerted all their strength. Then just watch as a giant monster slowly begins to break out of the water!

Finally.

Whoop -

The big-mouthed monster was dragged out by a few people!

"It's huge!"

When she saw the full picture of this monster, Nie Siyan couldn't help but exclaim.

Boom!

The monster was dragged overhead and landed in the park behind it, crushing the trees and floors in the park.

Wang Tao looked at this monster with a somewhat shocked expression.

It is more than twenty meters long and five or six meters high, and the overall shape is like a caterpillar, but it is not hair, but human arms, legs and heads! It looks horrifying - it's a giant zombie monster stitched together!

The biggest monster Wang Tao had ever seen before was an orangutan zombie. But it's lying there as tall as an orangutan zombie standing up!

However, after this stitched zombie left the water, it seemed to have little mobility, and it couldn't get out of a few steps after squirming there for half a day.

"This—This can't be a fourth-order zombie, right?"

Nie Siyan was a little scared, she didn't have a very clear perception of this zombie.

"No, it's just a third-order lord."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Although the size of this stitched zombie is huge, it looks scary. But it wasn't fourth-order, otherwise Wang Tao would have withdrawn the moment he saw its mouth.

He had comprehended the power of the fourth order, and that was not something he could deal with now.

[HP: 60000/60000]

[Blue amount: 60000/60000]

[Level: 3rd Order: Lord]

Wang Tao thinks it's the mother zombie in the shadows!

"It's just a third-order lord!"

Hearing Wang Tao's words, Nie Siyan breathed a sigh of relief. The fourth-order monster she encountered with Wang Tao last time, she still has lingering palpitations.

If it's just the third order, then it's easy to say. After all, the two of them were third-order, plus Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue, and they couldn't deal with a third-order lord?

"Up!"

Wang Tao is not sure about the ability to stitch together zombies for the time being, but he is done.

Wang Tao took out the bone knife and rushed over directly. Jiang Shixue clenched the two daggers and followed. Then there was Nie Siyan who jumped high, and finally Xu Xiaojun who was holding a dilapidated giant axe.

However, Xu Xiaojun used the charge, so the last hit came first, and the first attack was to stitch the zombie's head.

【-3423】

An axe cut off more than 3,000 of its blood.

Wang Tao was overjoyed when he saw this injury figure.

Its defense is not high!

Wang Tao was the second to rush over, he jumped high, and the bone knife that applied high-frequency vibration slashed into the head of the stitched zombie.

Poof!

【-5265】

A knife was inserted into it, and more than 5,000 blood were cut!

"Hit it on the head! This zombie's defense is very weak! ”

Wang Tao immediately shouted at several people.

Jiang Shixue rushed over the third, and she also learned from Wang Tao to jump up and poke two daggers at the zombies.

Outcome...... Zombies don't shed blood!

After Wang Tao saw it, he seemed to think of something, and immediately said to Jiang Shixue, "The skin of this zombie is too thick, Xiaoxue, your dagger is too short, and you didn't poke it in!" ”

Jiang Shixue: "......"

Nie Siyan's weapon was a sharpened steel bar, and after hearing Wang Tao's words, it immediately adjusted its angle when it was jumping into the air, and stitched the steel bar against the zombie's head.

Poof!

【-2743】

Steel bars were inserted into the zombie's head, killing it with nearly 3,000 blood.

Wang Tao took the opportunity to slash two more knives, and Xu Xiaojun also cut an axe.

In just the first round of attacks, the blood of the stitched zombies was reduced by 20,000!

In this case, thirty seconds at most, it will die!

"This zombie looks quite scary, but it's actually very weak?"

As soon as Wang Tao had this thought in his heart, he saw that this zombie suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth wide.

It didn't make any sound, but Wang Tao suddenly felt a little swelling and pain in his head. Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun's bodies shook and almost fell. Jiang Shixue doesn't seem to be in any big deal.

"Mental Shock!"

This feeling is similar to the feeling when I was attacked by that hundred-armed zombie before!

"This is a zombie with a focus on the spiritual side!"

Although the ability of spiritual impact is colorless and invisible, it cannot be prevented. But it will be blocked by obstacles. Except for Jiang Shixue, Wang Tao and the three of them were wearing full-body armor to firmly protect their heads. And Jiang Shixue is the person who is not afraid of mental attacks...... So this mental shock didn't affect them much.

"Rush!"

Wang Tao raised the bone knife again.

Poof!

【-5354】

Poof!

【-5234】

Two knives slashed 10,000 blood, stitched up the zombie opened its mouth again, and launched another mental shock.

"Uh-"

Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan suddenly knelt on one knee.

This time the mental impact is stronger!

Even if they were wearing helmets, they couldn't stop it, and they couldn't attack anymore.

Wang Tao felt that his head was suddenly pricked by a needle!

However, he fused the crystal nucleus that increased his spiritual power before, and drank a lot of potions that increased his spiritual power, so he was able to resist it.

Poof!

Poof!

【-5843】

【-5631】

Two more knives went down, and there was still 20,000 blood left in the zombie stitched up!

Stitch the zombie and continue to open its mouth wide.

"Shhhh

Wang Tao suddenly felt a little headache!

"Brother, the zombies are here!"

At this time, Jiang Shixue suddenly opened her mouth in Wang Tao's ear, and Wang Tao immediately turned his head. I saw that in the direction of the diving hall, there were a lot of zombies coming!

"Quick Fix!"

Wang Tao endured his headache and slashed at the head of the stitched zombie again.

A few more knives down.

Poof!

【-5485】

【0/60000】

Zombie health bar cleared!

Whoop -

A bunch of stuff burst out of its body, and there was a lot of zombie culture liquid in it!

Wang Tao immediately put away everything he could take, and Jiang Shixue immediately put her hand into the zombie's head and took out an orange crystal nucleus.

"Let's go!"

Wang Tao gritted his teeth and carried Xu Xiaojun, who was a little dizzy. Jiang Shixue picked up Nie Siyan, and the two ran directly towards the building.

And those zombies in the distance stopped in an instant as if they had lost their target after stitching up the zombies and died. Only some of the zombies came to the lake, and the rest of the zombies swayed back to the diving hall.
