MTL NOVEL Chapter 336: Slaying the Giant Again
Thud, thud, thud—
As the ground trembled ever so slightly, a massive silhouette appeared in everyone's line of sight.
"Giant Zombie!"
Seeing this figure, everyone's faces were very serious. Their previous experiences in Wuyang City and Zijing City were not exactly pleasant.
This Giant Zombie's stature was clearly not as enormous as those with hundreds of thousands of HP, but it was a bit taller than the one Wang Tao had killed before, which had a hundred thousand HP.
The Giant Zombie with a hundred thousand HP stood 20 meters tall, while this one was estimated to be about 24 or 25 meters. It was only slightly shorter than the Awakening Tree, which now stood at 30 meters.
[HP: 120000/120000]
[Mana: 100000/100000]
[Grade: Level 4 - Lord]
[Awakening: Giant]
This Giant Zombie had 120,000 HP.
The greater the HP of a Giant Zombie, the larger its size. Its Awakening [Giant] is related to its size—the larger the size, the stronger the power!
Thus, Giant Zombies are different from other species; a difference in HP of one or two thousand may not signify much difference in strength for other species.
But between Giant Zombies, a difference of twenty thousand HP might imply a noticeably significant gap in strength. Like this one with 120,000 HP, it was undoubtedly much stronger than the previous one with a hundred thousand HP!
And it wasn't just a single Giant Zombie that came; there was also a large group of zombies following at its feet. At a glance, they were all Level 3 and Level 4 Ordinary and Elite Zombies. Clearly, their target was the Awakening Fruit!
"A tough battle ahead..."
He Jijun's tone was grave.
If it were only one Giant Zombie, it would have been easier to handle, but this Giant Zombie had brought with it thousands of minions with no minor strengths...
"Leave the Giant Zombie to me; handle the rest of the zombies yourself. Old He, you take command!"
Wang Tao immediately spoke up.
Before, he had killed that Giant Zombie by triggering the Frenzy Passive and combining it with the Awakening Fire Blazing the Plains.
Although the current Giant Zombie was stronger, Wang Tao was no longer the same as he used to be.
He might not be able to kill the Giant Zombie quickly, but there should be no problem in holding it off.
As long as he could block the Giant Zombie and prevent it from destroying the Awakening Tree, Wang Tao's goal would be achieved.
Killing the Giant Zombie was just a matter of time, and Wang Tao was still confident about this.
"No problem!"
He Jijun nodded and quickly started to command.
Wang Tao, meanwhile, activated his Beetle Armor.

As the Iron Beetle landed, it rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a gigantic beetle monster five or six meters tall, swiftly enveloping Wang Tao. Taking strides, Wang Tao charged at the Giant Zombie.
The Giant Zombie had not noticed Wang Tao and the others beneath the Awakening Tree until Wang Tao rushed out, drawing the Giant Zombie's attention.
"Roar—"
With a bellow, the Giant Zombie advanced towards Wang Tao with oppressive steps!
Thud, thud, thud—
As the Giant Zombie quickened its pace, it trampled many of its kind to death. However, it clearly didn't care about the life and death of its kind; its only desire was to devour Wang Tao, this "big insect."
But when still a distance away from Wang Tao, the Giant Zombie suddenly bent down, picked up a large rock from the ground, and hurled it directly at Wang Tao!
Wang Tao knew the Giant Zombie could throw things, so he was already prepared. As soon as he saw the Giant Zombie bend down, he picked up a large rock and threw it at the Giant Zombie first.
Whoosh—
One large and one small rock flew towards each other in succession.
Wang Tao swiftly dodged, avoiding the rock hurled by the Giant Zombie. However, the Giant Zombie was hit squarely by the rock thrown by Wang Tao.
Bang!
The rock hit the Giant Zombie's knee, but it didn't even wobble.
Though Wang Tao didn't have high hopes for the rock, he was already charging forward and, leaping up, he delivered a kick right onto the knee of the Giant Zombie.
Bang—
The kick landed, much like the thrown rock, doing virtually no damage. The main aim for Wang Tao was to topple the Giant Zombie.
Despite the human-like form of the Giant Zombie, it had an exceptionally stable base. Wang Tao's kick only made it sway slightly, with no sign of falling.
But this managed to enrage the Giant Zombie, which let out a furious roar and lifted one massive foot, stomping towards Wang Tao!
The stomping of the Giant Zombie inflicted high damage, with many zombies being directly crushed to death. But the move was quite conspicuous, and with Wang Tao's focused attention, he easily evaded it.
Seeing that it missed several stomps, the Giant Zombie slowly bent down and lashed out with a palm strike towards Wang Tao.
Wang Tao was already fast, but his speed decreased slightly with the Beetle Armor. The Giant Zombie's palm came swiftly... and as there was no escape, Wang Tao immediately turned his body, taking the slap on his back's shell armor.
Smack!
[-509]
Wang Tao was jolted, his body going numb. But beyond that, there were no other issues.
Seeing that the Beetle Armor only lost five hundred HP, Wang Tao immediately grinned.
The Beetle Armor proved its worth as a Fourth-Order Weapon!
Although it reduced Wang Tao's agility and speed somewhat, its defensive power was unquestionably impressive!
When Wang Tao fought the Giant Zombie with a hundred thousand HP before, even wearing the Black Iron Heavy Armor, the Giant Zombie could deal over five thousand damage with a single punch.
Yet now, facing this slightly stronger Giant Zombie, Wang Tao lost only five hundred HP, which was also the HP of the Beetle Armor!
Even though this part of the shell was the sturdiest area of the Beetle Armor, facing a Giant Zombie and holding up to this extent was remarkably strong.
