After a night of rest, Wang Tong discovered that his injuries were almost healed as he had expected. He was sure that other than the two hundred and fifty-six nodes Tactics of the Blade, no other tactics would be able to recover as quickly as he did. He had probably grasped the only way to defeat Zachary.
He had to force Zachary to consume more of his energy, he could not allow Zachary to recover!
Now, Wang Tong was hoping that Zachary would come looking for him. However, Wang Tong had been waiting for more than two hours, and there was no sign of Zachary.
Based on the speed at which Zachary found him, Wang Tong knew that Zachary would find him soon.
Wang Tong knew that he had to act. If Zachary chose to rest, then he would be in danger. Wang Tong had to stop the enemy.
Wang Tong was not facing an ordinary man, but the most cunning Pirate King in history. If Wang Tong found out about Zachary's plan, Zachary would definitely find out as well. Therefore, Zachary could rest while waiting for Wang Tong to come to him!
Zachary could afford to wait, but Wang Tong couldn't!
First, he had to find Zachary. But how?
Since this was not the real world, and Zachary was not omnipotent, how could he find Wang Tong?
Wang Tong pondered for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything. His injuries were not fully healed, and the more anxious he was, the less anxious he should be.
Wang Tong's attitude towards life was instilled by Old Fart. Although the Tactics of the Blade had changed Wang Tong's character, the attitude he had been taught since he was young was the key to Wang Tong's growth.
Attitude was the key to victory.
Wang Tong slowly calmed down, tidied up his wounds, and then went to find Zachary.
A day had passed, and it was a torment for both of them.
On the fourth day, Wang Tong's injuries had fully healed, and he knew that he had to fight Zachary. He didn't know how Zachary found him, but he had a stupid idea, and that was to go back.
Near the ancient battlefield, this was a basic psychological judgment. If Zachary was determined to wait for him, then he would definitely be in a place he was more familiar with.
After half a day, Wang Tong sensed Zachary's powerful soul energy. Zachary was recuperating, and he realized that this was the way Zachary used to train himself. Zachary was absorbing the essence of this place to replenish his soul energy.
Wang Tong didn't dare to go any closer, he wasn't sure if Zachary had found him, but he had to find a way to stop him!
Wang Tong guessed that Zachary had found him, but he was sure that Zachary would not be able to catch him.
Just as Wang Tong had predicted, Zachary was indeed recuperating from his injuries. In fact, if Zachary had been a little more ruthless, he would have been able to kill Wang Tong. However, the problem was that Zachary was even more vulnerable than Wang Tong. Wang Tong was in a special form in this dimension, and he had his own body to support him no matter how severe his injuries were. However, Zachary was different. He only had his Yuan Shen, and if his Yuan Shen was destroyed, he would disappear forever.
The speed at which he absorbed energy from the Space was far too slow, far from being comparable to the outside world.
Wang Tong tried to provoke Zachary a few times, hoping that Zachary would chase after him, but Zachary didn't budge, and only focused on his training.
Wang Tong tried to provoke Zachary a few times, hoping that he would chase after him, but Zachary didn't budge, and only focused on his training.
Then, Wang Tong disappeared. Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, which was a luxury for both Wang Tong and Zachary.
Finally, Wang Tong reappeared, and he could feel that Zachary was slowly recovering. While he had been under a lot of pressure, Zachary was also feeling the same, and Wang Tong couldn't miss this opportunity.
Wang Tong didn't seem to be afraid of being discovered by Zachary, and he was releasing his soul energy recklessly. Wang Tong was holding a bag in his hand, and there was a huge rock tied to it.
"Don't tell me he's trying to kill an Einherjar with a rock?"
Wang Tong smiled and started to swing the rock. This was the gift he had prepared for Zachary.
"Whoosh …"
The rock flew towards Zachary with the huge bag, but it was still too far away, and the rock fell to the ground when it was about a hundred meters away from Zachary.
The bag made a squeaking sound, and then a dozen carrot-like things ran out and screamed crazily when they saw Zachary.
Zachary didn't pay much attention to Wang Tong at first, but he soon found out that it was the Encephalon!
Zachary was the one who taught Wang Tong how to block the Encephalon's transmission, and he didn't expect Wang Tong to use it on him so soon. It was too late for Zachary to block it, and the moment the Encephalon crawled out, the coordinates had already been sent out, and soon, the ground started to shake.
Wang Tong hid again, and this was what he had done in the past three days. It was nothing much, but he found three nests and captured a few Encephalons, and the Encephalon must have had some complaints about their neighbor.
It all depended on Zachary's reaction!
Wang Tong sensed Zachary's Soul Energy wandering in his direction, and he was shocked by the Einherjar's detection range.
However, the Encephalons were faster than him, and they swarmed towards him like a tidal wave. After Wang Tong captured the Encephalon, he began to release intermittent signals to lure the Encephalons towards him. Finally, it was time to harvest.
About five minutes later, the fastest wave of Encephalons appeared, and they surrounded Wang Tong from all directions. Especially Zachary's naked Soul Energy, it was like a torch in the middle of the night, and the Encephalons would never let it go.
Wang Tong hid and waited, he wanted to see what Zachary would do, and if there was a chance, he would not hesitate to kill Zachary. The older one got, the more afraid one would be of death, but the younger one was, the bolder one would be.
Zachary didn't hide, instead, he unleashed his Soul Energy and showed Wang Tong a terrifying battle between Einherjars. Apparently, Zachary had been recovering well for the past few days.
However, he had underestimated Wang Tong. Wang Tong was definitely not a good person, he had been taught by Old Fart to cheat and steal since he was young, but he didn't have an evil nature, so he didn't use it normally. However, Wang Tong was fighting against an enemy who wanted to take over his body, so he had to use all of his means.
He did not expect these bugs to be able to injure Zachary. He just wanted to torment him, because he felt that in this world, people would still feel sleepy and hungry. If he was like this, then Zachary would definitely be the same, so they were competing in torment.
Wang Tong believed that a young man like him would be able to defeat an old man like Zachary!
If Zachary took the initiative to chase him, he would run for his life, and if Zachary wanted to train, he would lure the Encephalons to torture him. Zachary would have to unleash his Soul Energy every time he trained, and that was something the Encephalons couldn't tolerate.
The Encephalons in this world had one thing in common with the Encephalons outside, and that was that they were sworn enemies with humans.
Moreover, the Encephalons in this world were endless.
Wang Tong had encountered a lot of difficulties when he was trying to capture the Encephalons, but compared to an Einherjar, these Encephalons were like little girls that could be pushed down with ease.
Ten days was nothing to him.
Although time was a little messy, Wang Tong didn't forget the promise of ten days. The ten cycles of day and night had passed, but he still couldn't go back. Zachary was still as fierce as ever.
In the past few days, Wang Tong fought with Zachary again and broke three of his bones. It took him three whole days to recover. Of course, Zachary wasn't any better.
Wang Tong didn't become numb because of time, on the contrary, he wanted to live even more. Even though Zachary was getting stronger and more cunning, Wang Tong didn't want to die. Every time he was in despair, he would think of Ma Xiaoru, and her gentle eyes seemed to be encouraging him.
"I can't die!"
Wang Tong ran for his life in the wilderness, he couldn't die!
Every day was a day of life and death for Wang Tong. Not only did he have to increase his strength, but he also had to find a way to prevent Zachary from recovering. Once Zachary recovered, Wang Tong wouldn't be able to escape from this world no matter where he went.
Every day, he lived in a state of high tension. It could be said that life on the Norton Star was heaven. The Zergs were so cute.
Death wasn't scary, but living on the edge of death every day was scary. But Wang Tong couldn't die. Death would be a blessing, but he couldn't.
Wang Tong had to ambush Zachary at least twice a week, and that was the only way to make Zachary suffer. Wang Tong tried his best to harass Zachary as much as he could. Whenever Zachary advanced, he would retreat; whenever Zachary stopped, he would harass him; whenever Zachary was tired, he would attack him; whenever Zachary retreated, he would chase after him.
However, Zachary was still Zachary, and his cunning tricks were terrifying. There were a few times when Wang Tong almost lost his life, but he still managed to survive. It seemed like God didn't want him to die yet. Wang Tong was growing stronger every day, and the pressure of battling against the Einherjar was completely different. Even so, Wang Tong didn't dare to fight Zachary to the death.
In fact, Wang Tong still stood a chance against the injured Zachary. He had his own advantages, and that was his ability to hide among the Zergs. He had become very familiar with changing his scent, and even if he was standing in the middle of the Zergs, the Zergs wouldn't be able to detect his presence. Fortunately, Wang Tong was able to detect his scent as well. Wang Tong's recovery speed was much better than Zachary's.
Wang Tong didn't know what level he was at now, but he knew that Zachary was still stronger than him. If it was a battle of life and death, Wang Tong would have already joined the fray. But now, even if it was a little dangerous, Wang Tong couldn't take the risk. In Old Fart's words, a man should be tough on himself. For the sake of Ma Xiaoru, Wang Tong would rather die than let Zachary out of this place.
