Chapter Fourteen: A Thin Line Between Life and Death

  As one zombie after another was lured over and killed, Tang Tian looked at the experience points in his mind increasing bit by bit, and he couldn't help but feel extremely delighted.

  Although he was very tired and the zombies looked disgusting, but thinking of his powerful self after leveling up, Tang Tian felt that everything was so wonderful, everything was so worth it.

  Once you become stronger, you can survive better and get more benefits.

  Pfft~1

  He beheaded another level 2 zombie with one slash of his knife and obtained 50 experience points.

  The speed of a second-level zombie is roughly equivalent to that of a first-level zombie, but its strength is twice as powerful.

  However, with Tang Tian's current speed and reaction ability far exceeding that of ordinary people, he could easily dodge the attacks of the second-level zombies. Moreover, with the sharp imitation Jin Yiwei sword in his hand, killing the second-level zombies was not very difficult.

  The difficulty lies in the occasional appearance of third-level zombies, which are hidden among the zombie crowd. If you don't keep your eyes open at all times, it's basically impossible to discover them every day. After all, these zombies look almost the same, and if the third-level zombies don't attack, they have no obvious characteristics.

  Tang Tian was able to handle second-level zombies with ease, but when facing third-level zombies, he had to be extremely cautious. After all, the speed of third-level zombies was still very fast, and their strength was greater than that of second-level zombies.

  Apart from the third-level zombie that appeared at the very beginning, Tang Tian did not encounter any others. However, he did spot one or two third-level zombies in the zombie crowd, but he didn't let the Phantom Assassin lure them over. He wanted to upgrade to level four first before going to hunt them down, so it would be a bit safer and the danger level would decrease significantly.

  "Just 60 more experience points and I'll level up, should I hunt three level one zombies or two level twos? Or maybe just take down a single level three?" Tang Tian muttered to himself as he gazed at the attribute panel in his mind.

  But immediately dispelled the dangerous idea, adopting a steady and steady approach, hunting down three first-level zombies.

  A level one zombie gives him 20 experience points, a level two 50 points, and a level three 100 points.

  But high experience means great danger.

  Anyway, it's just 60 less, but I've gained experience, so it's not worth taking risks.

  After resting for a while, Tang Tian ordered: "Xiao Ying, go and bring that first-level zombie over to me." Tang Tian pointed at a first-level zombie near the kitchen on the first floor.

  Whoosh!

  The ghost assassin who received Tang Tian's order quickly rushed out and came to the back of this zombie, stabbing down with a dagger.

  Roar! The first-level zombie that was attacked quickly rushed towards the ghost assassin, but it couldn't catch up.

  As the zombie approached, Tang Tian swiftly drew his sword, and with a flash of cold light, the zombie's head flew high into the air, contributing 20 experience points to Tang Tian.

  "Just 40 more experience points and I'll level up", Tang Tian thought excitedly.

  Bang!!!

  At this moment, the glass window of the kitchen was shattered by a huge black night and quickly rushed towards Tang Tian.

  So fast, Tang Tian couldn't even react.

  Just in time for a slight sidestep, the black shadow crashed into Tang Tian's body.

  Bang! In an instant, Tang Tian was struck by a massive force on his left shoulder and sent flying far away. Tang Tian felt half of his body go numb, unable to muster any strength.

  Bang bang bang! Tang Tian was knocked flying seven or eight meters away by the black shadow, falling into a group of zombies in the first floor hall, and only stopped after knocking over several level one zombies.

  Hooo~~~!

  Tang Tianyi fell into the midst of a zombie horde, and the surrounding zombies quickly closed in on him, their pale claws covered in dark blood about to attack Tang Tian.

  Tang Tian knew that the danger was unparalleled at this moment, and he quickly flipped over and stood up, kicking out a few feet to kick away several zombies that were approaching him.

  But he had just stood up and kicked away the few zombies around him, when he suddenly saw a huge black shadow pouncing on him again.

  "Xiao Ying, stop it!" The black shadow was too fast, Tang Tian couldn't dodge in time, so he commanded.

  Whoosh! With Tang Tian's command, the Ghost Assassin swiftly darted out and blocked Tang Tian's path. The ghost launched a swift attack, almost transforming into a black shadow as it collided with the unknown monster.

  Pfft, the dagger in Xiao Ying's hand stabbed into the black figure's body, but at the same time, the black figure also crashed into the ghost assassin's body.

  Bang!!!

  The ghost assassin was also knocked flying without exception.

  "Your summoned creature, Phantom Assassin, has taken massive damage and lost 95 health."

  Just as the Phantom Assassin was thrown into the air, Tang Tian's mind also received a prompt, and Tang Tian took a look, the Phantom Assassin only had 200 health left, suddenly almost halving.

  However, despite this, the speed at which he obtained the large black shadow was slowed down a bit.

  The Eye of Reality quickly activated, and Tang Tian also obtained the information about Hei Ying.

  "Mutated Mouse Level 3, Elite, possesses extremely high strength and speed. As an elite among the mutated beasts, it is much stronger than ordinary mutated beasts. Killing it will grant you a large amount of experience."

  It turned out that the black shadow was a 3rd-level mutated rat, and it was an elite among the mutated rats.

  Heh~~! Tang Tian suddenly took a deep breath as he obtained the information.

  Mutated beasts and zombies are different, because they have autonomous consciousness, although very lowly, but it is fundamentally not comparable to those completely relying on instinct to attack zombies.

  And compared with the stiff movements of zombies, the movements of the variant beasts are much faster and more agile, completely in a different league.

  And this mutated mouse is still an elite among them, at least equivalent to a level 5 or 6 zombie.

  "Wants to kill it, playing with life", Tang Tian sighed in his heart.

  Facing a third-level zombie, Tang Tian had to be careful in his response, let alone this mutated rat that was much stronger than a third-level zombie and was also an elite among them.

  And this glance also allowed Tang Tian to see clearly the appearance of this mutated rat, with a body length of over three meters plus its tail, its entire black fur seemed to be reflecting light, looking very smooth, and the two large buck teeth on its mouth were emitting a cold glow.

  Tang Tian suddenly felt despair, this mutated mouse elite was not something he could handle at all, and it became even faster, unable to escape, and still in the midst of a zombie crowd.

  It's now a matter of life and death!

  It's a long story, but this is just a brief moment when the ghost assassin blocked the mutated mouse.

  Hooooo!!!

  At this moment, the zombies on the side also launched an attack on Tang Tian, and he was in a precarious situation.

  "What to do, what to do, what to do......", Tang Tian's mind was racing quickly, but there was simply no way.

  In the chaos, Tang Tian was almost attacked by the surrounding zombies. He quickly dodged to the side and avoided two zombies' claws, then kicked away two more with a loud crash. Just as he did this, the mutated rat that had been blocked by the ghostly assassin earlier suddenly darted towards Tang Tian once again.

  Struggling to move sideways, Tang Tian couldn't care less if he was in the middle of a zombie crowd or not, first priority was dodging the mutated rat's attack.

  But just then Tang Tian's eyes lit up, and he thought of a way...
