If there were zombies in the Purple Moon era, there would naturally be zombie beasts.
However, in comparison, zombie beasts were a few levels stronger than zombies!
Why was that? Two points!
First, the bodies of beasts were naturally stronger than humans. Even if they were parasitized after death, the characteristics of their bodies would not change.
Second, the Devil Fungus was the main reason why humans turned into zombies, but other than humans, the Devil Fungus would not parasitize any other living beings.
What was the reason for that? The scientists had yet to come to a conclusion.
However, in the Purple Moon era, the Devil Fungus was not the only type of parasite.
Other than the Devil Fungus that was everywhere in the atmosphere, the other parasites were not limited to any living beings.
Perhaps due to their low numbers, these parasites were generally stronger than the Devil Fungus. Some of them had their own talents, and once the parasite was successfully parasitized, the host would unleash some kind of talent.
Some of them had a quick upgrade mechanism. As long as the nutrients were sufficient, both the parasite and the host would grow rapidly and become abnormally powerful.
In conclusion, zombie beasts were a terrifying existence. Despite their rarity, once they became zombie beasts due to various coincidences, they would possess the ability to fight beyond their ranks.
Just think about it, they shared the same characteristics as zombies. They had no emotions and only had desires to support them.
As long as their limbs were not injured and their mobility was not affected, any injuries were useless against them.
Lastly, there was no sense of pain.
The Black Shroom Zombie Ape was one of the more famous zombie beasts.
There was a special kind of fungus called the Black Spore Silk Mushroom that loved to parasitize monkey carcasses.
According to the scientists' research, the reason why they did so was because the monkey carcasses were highly compatible with them.
Especially a Level 5 mutated monkey, the Black Scaled Moss Monkey, which was the most compatible with them.
Once the two of them combined, the zombie beast would be extremely powerful.
The Black Scaled Moss Monkey was originally only Level 5, but after it became a Black Shroom Zombie Ape, it became a Level 7 mutated zombie beast.
On top of that, it grew very fast. In a month or two, it would become a Level 9 mutated zombie beast, and in less than half a year, it would surpass the limits of a mutated beast and become a Level 1 vicious zombie beast. Yes, the level of a zombie beast corresponded to how it was when it was alive. It was different from the separate levels of zombies.
Zombies might be weak, but because they were humans, they had all sorts of unimaginable abilities, so it was natural for them to be separated into different levels!
All of these might be related to the human brain.
No matter what, these were the reasons why the Black Shroom Zombie Monkeys were so famous! Rumor had it that a Level 9 mutated Black Shroom Zombie Ape had once killed a Rank 2 Purple Moon Warrior.
The huge figure in the gray fog gradually became clearer. Those who had never seen the Black Shroom Zombie Ape before would think that this zombie beast was somewhat comical.
It had a huge body, knotted muscles, a shriveled monkey face, and grayish-white eyes. It was originally such a terrifying appearance, but there was a black mushroom on its head.
Tang Ling stood still on the spot.
His slightly scrawny figure was inconspicuous compared to the giant Black Shroom zombie monkey. Only his bloody fist and the blood-stained longsword enhanced his aura, but no matter how one looked at it, no one would think that he was a match for the Black Shroom zombie monkey.
This was because Zombie Beasts were able to transcend realms in battle! The Black Shroom Zombie Ape in front of him was definitely not a zombie beast that had just become one! Its huge size meant that it had been growing for a period of time and was at least a level eight mutated beast …
Before becoming a Purple Moon Warrior, theoretically speaking, the limit of a newbie's combat power was killing a level 9 mutated beast.
However, it was just a theory! Humans were naturally weaker than beasts unless they reached rank 3 and their talent abilities started to show their power.
Otherwise, any human below rank 3 would not be a match for a creature of the same rank. It was a lamentable but undeniable fact.
Just think about it, how could Tang Ling be a match for the zombie beast?!
That was why some people claimed that the scenario was against the rules, but it was useless.
However, it was useless to exclaim. This was the difficulty of Gray Mist Street's SSS-rank.
As the person in question, Tang Ling did not think that it was inappropriate. His gaze did not even change.
As a matter of fact, the scenario had given him an obvious hint.
The so-called killer devil in the scenario was a level 5 mutated beast, the Black-scaled Moss Monkey.
The gray fog was exactly the environment that the Black Spore Silk Mushroom would appear in when it was not a parasite.
Therefore, during the battle, Tang Ling had speculated that he might have to face a zombie beast in the SSS scenario, the Black Shroom Zombie Ape.
I knew it!
Tang Ling curled his lips into an excited smile. In the eyes of the audience, he looked like a madman.
However, only Tang Ling knew that he had finally met the best sparring partner! From a certain perspective, the scenario had given him an advantage.
Why?
His spirit visualization still had its limits when it came to seeing through a living body, but the zombie beast before him had no heartbeat, no breath, and no blood flow. Other than being alive and kicking, it was no different from a dead creature.
If that was the case, he could use his spirit visualization to fight the Black Shroom Zombie Ape right now.
The gray fog dispersed in an instant.
The Black Shroom Zombie Ape finally revealed its horrifying and comical true form.
When it saw Tang Ling, it growled excitedly and dashed towards him without a second thought.
At that very moment, everyone saw Tang Ling close his eyes.
"Hmph." Tang Long chuckled when he saw the scene. When he realized that the Black Shroom Zombie Ape was the last thing that appeared in the SSS scenario, he had thought of everything that he could think of.
He stood up and walked out of the resting lounge calmly. He wanted to move on to the next scenario because he knew what the final outcome would be without even thinking about it.
If Tang Ling had encountered a living Level 8 mutated beast, the battle would have been more interesting.
"This little bastard has it easy. He deserves the limelight." Boss Huang sounded indignant, but the expression in his eyes betrayed him.
If Tang Long could see through it, how could Boss Huang, who had personally taught Tang Ling the spirit visualization technique, not see through it?
He was actually very satisfied that Tang Ling could be in the limelight! It would prove that what he said was right!
As for his stance? Who would care about that now?
**
Tang Ling's spirit started to concentrate on his pineal gland while he fully activated his Precise Instinct.
As expected, a strange scene appeared before his eyes.
There was no street, no gray fog, and no giant Black Shroom Zombie Ape. All he saw was a blurry body that looked like a model that had been deconstructed.
With his eyes closed, Tang Ling saw the truth in front of him.
The Black Shroom Zombie Ape was fast because monkeys were born with agility. After it turned into a zombie beast, its agility was even more insane.
Therefore, it appeared in front of Tang Ling in an instant. Its sharp, metallic claws grabbed at Tang Ling while its big, stinky mouth bit at Tang Ling's head.
Other than that, the green moss that floated on its body turned into balls of thread-like objects and started to coil around Tang Ling.
It was the Black Shroom Zombie Ape's talent, the plant talent — Entanglement!
It was still a very young Black Shroom Zombie Ape. In just a short moment, Tang Ling fully activated his Precise Instinct and his mind came up with a bunch of data.
The data proved that the Black Shroom Zombie Ape was only a Level 8 mutated beast.
Its plant talent, Entanglement, must have just been developed, so it could not be considered a talent yet. It could only be used as a support in battle, so how could it possibly control Tang Ling?
In Tang Ling's eyes, the structure of its body became clearer than ever. The joints of its bones, the lines of its muscles, and how its body changed when it moved.
In the next second, Tang Ling moved!
He slightly moved his waist a centimeter and the fierce monkey claw grazed his body. His neck was slightly slanted and almost touched the zombie ape's face, allowing him to avoid its bite.
In the next second, Tang Ling flipped his hand and grabbed a wisp of green moss on the zombie ape from a tricky angle. Using the moss, he swung his body up and dodged the entanglement of the green moss.
Everything happened in less than a second, but many of the spectators could not understand what was going on. They could not help but gasp!
Tang Ling's dodge was too close. Everything felt like a coincidence. It was all luck, but how long could luck protect a person in a battle?
The spectators could not help but break out in cold sweat for Tang Ling.
Those who could understand what was going on were shocked. Silence, disbelief, and all sorts of emotions rumbled in their hearts.
With a closer look, they realized that Tang Ling's body was like water!
If his body already felt like water, it meant that Tang Ling was about to enter the body control state that only Purple Moon Warriors who had unlocked their gene lock could experience — microsensing!
How insane is this kid? Does he want to enter microsensing at this stage? It's impossible! He has not even mastered Transient Steps. He has not even unlocked the shackles of speed and body control!
It's impossible!
Not only did many powerhouses have the same thought, but even Boss Huang stood up at that moment and watched Tang Ling's battle on the big screen without moving a muscle.
With his Precise Instinct, the kid should have the ability to end the battle quickly. Just like the dodging earlier, it should not have been that difficult. He could have leaped up and used the walls on both sides of the alleyway to move behind the zombie ape.
But he actually … His goal wasn't just to integrate the spirit visualization technique into battle. He wanted to use the battle to train his body control!
However, it was impossible. Without unlocking the gene lock, it was impossible for him to enter the microsensing state.
Is it impossible?
Tang Ling did not care. He did not attack at all. Instead, he kept his eyes closed and dodged the fierce attacks of the zombie ape, causing the spectators to gasp in shock.
His body was getting softer and softer. His dodging was not as deliberate as before. Instead, it felt like he was going with the flow.
"Hmm." Back in the VIP room, the bronze-masked man sat down and watched Tang Ling's battle quietly. He was not surprised at all.
It was as if Tang Ling's heaven-defying performance was normal!
