Lin Mo quickly picked up the axe from the ground and charged toward the Zombie.
Seizing the moment, he swung the axe straight at its head.
But in the next instant, something astonishing happened the Zombie tilted its head, dodging the axe, and then reached out a hand toward him.
“Watch out!”
Song Xue’er, who had been watching nervously from the side, couldn’t help but scream.
Lin Mo’s expression hardened.
He kicked the Zombie in the chest, using the momentum to fall backward and narrowly avoid its attack.
Then, bracing himself with one hand on the ground, he flipped backward and landed steadily on his feet.
“Nice!”
Fang Rui couldn’t help but shout before raising his sword and thrusting at the Zombie.
Lin Mo followed suit, joining him in surrounding the creature.
Amid the flurry of blades, the Zombie showed no signs of weakness.
Instead, Lin Mo and Fang Rui were repeatedly knocked back.
At one point, Fang Rui reacted too slowly and nearly got bitten-thankfully, Lin Mo intervened just in time to save him.
“Damn it, this thing is tough!”
Lin Mo cursed.
Both of them were already halfway exhausted, while the Zombie felt no fatigue.
If this continued, they might both die here!
“Ah!”
At that moment, Song Xue’er suddenly screamed again.
Lin Mo dodged another strike from the level-four Zombie and glanced over, his heart turning cold.
The intense fight had attracted more Zombies, now approaching in scattered groups.
“Not good!”
Fang Rui’s heart also skipped a beat, his expression growing panicked.
They couldn’t even handle one Zombie-how could they deal with so many?
The situation seemed hopeless.
Song Xue’er was frozen in fear, wanting to help but knowing her skills were only enough to handle the most basic Zombie.
Against a horde, what could she possibly do?
But just then, Lin Mo seemed to have an idea.
He turned to Fang Rui and said, “Bro, can you hold it off for two minutes?”
“Two minutes? That’s a bit tough, but I can try… What are you planning?”
“You’ll see.”
Lin Mo grinned mysteriously before gripping his axe and charging toward the approaching Zombie horde.
Fang Rui didn’t dare let his guard down.
He quickly retreated a few steps, avoiding direct confrontation with the level-four Zombie-there was no way he could match its strength.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo plunged into the Zombie horde, swinging his axe with deadly precision.
Each strike felled another Zombie.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, one Zombie resisted his attack and lunged to bite him.
Startled, Lin Mo barely dodged and had to land two more axe blows before finishing it off.
This was a level-two Zombie…
“Congratulations, you have slain a level-one Monster Zombie. Experience gained: 1 point…”
“Congratulations…”
“….”
“Congratulations, you have slain a level-two Monster Zombie. Experience gained: 3 points… Current experience: 19/20.”
“One last one!”
Lin Mo’s arms were burning with exhaustion, but he gritted his teeth and swung his axe with all his might, cleaving into the head of the final Zombie.
It collapsed instantly.
“Congratulations, you have slain a level-one Monster Zombie. Experience gained: 1 point. Current experience: 20/20. Congratulations, you have leveled up!”
The next moment, all fatigue vanished as a surge of immense power coursed through his limbs.
Ignoring the minor threats, Lin Mo charged straight toward the level-four Zombie.
Even with his constant dodging, Fang Rui was barely holding on, on the verge of being pounced on and having his neck torn open by the creature.
Just then, Lin Mo closed the distance in a flash, delivering a powerful kick that sent the Zombie flying.
The creature soared through the air for a full five or six meters, crashing through countless shelves before finally hitting the ground.
“This…”
Fang Rui, having narrowly escaped death, stared in shock at the scene before him before shifting his gaze to Lin Mo.
“A breakthrough?”
He had heard rumors of Awakened breaking through their limits.
As the world’s rules gradually changed, the abilities of the Awakened would slowly improve-though the process was usually slow.
Aside from that, training and combat were other ways to grow stronger.
Some Awakened, when pushed to their limits in battle, would shatter their constraints and emerge even more powerful.
To him, Lin Mo’s current state seemed exactly like that…
