Chapter 103: Bloody Frenzy

The Frenzied One—no, it should now be called the Bloody Frenzy.

A pool of blood appeared beneath the feet of this new monster, spreading slowly with a nauseating stench of iron and decay.

"Bai Qi, run!" Zhao Kuo shouted without hesitation.

Even he, a seasoned warrior, felt a strong sense of dread when facing this monster, let alone Bai Qi, a second-tier mutant.

Bai Qi was momentarily stunned but quickly snapped out of it, flipping to his feet and starting to run.

"Run, run…" At that moment, the Bloody Frenzy actually spoke, its voice hoarse but carrying an eerie, otherworldly tone.

Was this still a zombie? Could it be that after continuous evolution, zombies had become a completely new species with unique powers?

As he watched the Bloody Frenzy's sinister grin, a strange thought crossed Zhao Kuo's mind.

This might not just be the evolution of a creature—it could be the birth of something entirely new.

At the same time, a long-awaited system notification rang in his ears.

[Detected that the player is facing a severe threat outside the program. You may now unlock an ability or item. Please choose.]

Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up.

This was truly a twist of fate. He had originally thought it would take some effort to deal with this monster, but now it seemed much easier.

Perhaps in the system's design, such a powerful evolved species wasn't supposed to appear in the mall.

The evolution of the Frenzied One was likely a coincidence outside the program's parameters. After all, evolved species all had unique abilities, making it difficult for one to easily hunt another.

Without hesitation, Zhao Kuo shouted, "Come out, Little White!"

A white snake with wings emerged from the void, its body rapidly expanding as it lunged toward the Bloody Frenzy!

At the same time, pristine white feathers began to fall from the sky. Any zombie touched by these feathers immediately burst into flames, turning to ash in an instant.

"Holy crap, what is that? Brother Zhao, don't tell me that's your pet!" Bai Qi exclaimed, completely stunned as he watched the Platinum Winged Serpent pin the Bloody Frenzy to the ground.

He knew Brother Zhao and his wife were extraordinary, but he never expected such a fantastical turn of events.

"I'll explain later. You did well today," Zhao Kuo acknowledged Bai Qi before adding, "But in battle, always watch your back, understand?"

Bai Qi nodded solemnly, then pointed at the Platinum Winged Serpent. "I understand, Brother Zhao. Should we go help it?"

Zhao Kuo chuckled. Help? Kid, you have no idea what a third-tier beast is capable of!

At that moment, Little White was furious. It had been two days—two whole days since it last saw its master. And now, the moment it emerged, it found its master under threat. Unacceptable!

[Golden Eyes!]

[Golden Eyes: Stuns creatures with a spirit attribute lower than 46 (pet's base spirit attribute 40 + master's spirit attribute bonus 13), preventing them from using skills for 90 seconds.]

Without hesitation, Little White activated its control skill.

In an instant, the blood pool beneath the Bloody Frenzy vanished, and its frenzied aura diminished significantly. Its red eyes even showed a hint of fear.

In contrast, Little White's white eyes remained emotionless as it opened its massive jaws and clamped down on the Bloody Frenzy's arm.

[Mutation Toxin: The Platinum Winged Serpent can inject its venom into the target, dealing 4-8% of the target's health per second for 15 seconds.]

However, Little White was surprised to find that the Mutation Toxin didn't seem to affect the Bloody Frenzy much.

Yes, the Bloody Frenzy, standing at 3 meters tall, was considered a small fry in front of the Platinum Winged Serpent.

The reason for the lack of significant damage wasn't surprising—the Bloody Frenzy, as a zombie, had high resistance to toxins.

Despite the underwhelming effect of the Mutation Toxin, Little White wasn't discouraged.

As a third-tier beast, it possessed strength and intelligence far beyond ordinary creatures. Now, it decided to rely on its absolute power to completely suppress and defeat this formidable opponent.

Little White increased the force of its bite, its sharp fangs sinking deep into the Bloody Frenzy's arm. Even though the monster's skin was exceptionally tough, it couldn't withstand the terrifying strength of a third-tier beast.

The Bloody Frenzy let out roars of pain, its body trembling violently as it tried to break free from Little White's grip.

But Little White wasn't about to let go so easily. Its wings spread wide, sharp as blades, cutting through the air with dazzling arcs, each movement accompanied by a sharp whistle.

[Feather Storm: The Platinum Winged Serpent spreads its wings, causing pure white feathers to fall. Any creature touched by the feathers suffers burn damage and reduced speed. The effect is amplified against evil creatures.]

More and more feathers began to fall, this time not scattering randomly but concentrating on the Bloody Frenzy.

As a dark creature, the evolved Bloody Frenzy fell squarely into the category of evil beings, making the Feather Storm's damage a critical hit!

But the Bloody Frenzy wasn't going down without a fight. Its right hand plunged into its own chest, pulling out a blood-red bone.

The moment the bone appeared, the surrounding space was instantly filled with a hazy red mist.

[Blood Bone Sacrifice: The Bloody Frenzy sacrifices its own flesh and blood to summon a blood-red bone, temporarily gaining immense strength and speed. However, it suffers severe physical strain and enters a weakened state afterward.]

With the blood-red bone in hand, the Bloody Frenzy's body swelled, its muscles bulging as if inflated, and its skin revealed veins of blood flowing like molten lava.

It grabbed Little White's massive body with both hands, attempting to use this sudden surge of power to turn the tide.

Facing the Bloody Frenzy's desperate counterattack, a glint of excitement flashed in Little White's eyes.

For the mighty and holy Platinum Winged Serpent, all evil creatures were nothing but pitiful prey!

Little White's wings flapped once, instantly creating a powerful whirlwind.

This wasn't a skill—it was pure strength. The storm dispersed the surrounding red mist in an instant!

Then, Little White opened its jaws wide and attacked again.

This time, instead of aiming for a vital spot, it targeted one of the Bloody Frenzy's arms. Its sharp fangs pierced deep into the flesh before giving a violent twist.

"Crunch!" With a sickening crack, Little White tore off the Bloody Frenzy's arm. The monster let out a piercing howl of agony, its body collapsing to the ground.

Yet, even with such a grievous injury, the Bloody Frenzy didn't give up. It used its remaining arm to make one last desperate attempt to strike back.

But Little White wasn't going to give it any more chances. With a leap, it landed firmly on the Bloody Frenzy's chest, its wings wrapping tightly around the monster like a mountain, pinning it down completely.

Under Little White's crushing strength, the light in the Bloody Frenzy's eyes gradually faded. Its body began to shrivel, its internal organs rupturing under the immense pressure. Finally, with a dull thud, it ceased all movement.
