Chapter 1790 Got Bitten
That advanced-level zombie flew up from an extremely tricky angle, floating in mid-air before suddenly charging toward Qiao Mu.
Even though he was only a fire phoenix in the toddler stage, his attack power and speed was not something this advanced-level zombie could match.
Just as the advanced-level zombie pounced on Qiao Mu, the phoenix spread his wings and dodged with Qiao Mu on his back.
It subsequently turned tail to fly away.
“Roar!!” That advanced-level zombie behind them roared without losing its will.
At this moment, Qiao Mu did not know why she felt a bit panicked. When she subconsciously turned back to take a look, she saw that the advanced-level zombie had jumped once and then twice to reach her.
Qiao Mu flung several ice blades at it without any hesitation. Suddenly, she felt her hands turn chilly, and she inwardly cursed.
This kind of chill was very similar to the harmful yin from the mystic yin curse.
This zombie could actually attack her using harmful yin energy.
After reaching this conclusion, she hastily buffed the bloodfire phoenix with a speed and a strength talisman. She spoke gravely, “Let’s leave quickly.”
As she said this, she suddenly felt a current behind her.
Qiao Mu whipped her head around and saw that both of the zombie’s arms had left its body completely and aimed for her head.
Instantly, Qiao Mu broke out in a cold sweat, and she reflexively used two arrows to stop those two arms from advancing.
Yet before she could heave a sigh of relief, the ten fingers on those rotting arms shot toward her face like sharp concealed weapons.
This attack simply could not be guarded against.
Qiao Mu had suffered because she did not realize that this advanced-level zombie could detach its limbs from its body. Even so, she reacted to the ten fingers flying towards her by hastily enveloping herself in a round eggshell shield. She then flung out a handful of concealed weapons in fright, warding off those ten fingers.
Qiao Mu suddenly felt pain in her arm, and she looked down in disbelief.
She saw that a tiny bird zombie the size of her palm was clinging to her left forearm. Even though this bite did not hurt much, Qiao Mu only felt chills seizing her heart.
Her eyes instantly opened wide.
It was a ruse!
She had fallen for an advanced-level zombie’s plot. Everything just earlier, from the zombie’s diabolical pursuit, to attacking with its detached limbs—this was all merely a sleight of hand. It was all to provide cover for this small zombie bird to get close to her.
Evidently, this zombie bird had escaped her notice and slipped inside her defensive barrier while her full attention was on the advanced-level zombie.
This advanced-level zombie whose intelligence was comparable to that of a human was intent on completing its mission to kill Qiao Mu once it started making its move.
Qiao Mu immediately became dazed, while her mind was in chaos.
However, her movements were not slow as she first yanked that zombie bird from her arm.
Afterwards, she produced ice picks around her fingertips and stabbed them into the zombie bird’s brain.
She mercilessly stabbed this zombie bird’s brain and body again and again. It wasn’t until the corpse fell apart from getting riddled with holes that she clenched her fist and incinerated this zombie bird that had so brazenly hurt her.
An intense hatred and killing intent surfaced in Qiao Mu’s eyes.
She raised her head and looked straight at that advanced-level zombie. She was boiling with rage, and her eyes emitted a cold light.
