Chapter 1407: Chapter 583: Twilight’s Blessing_2

But the woman, who is Zhao Yaru, didn’t move; having just gotten up, she immediately knelt on the ground, frantically kowtowing towards the direction of the giant bird.

“Thanks be to the protection of Dusk! Thanks be to the protection of Dusk! Thank you…”

“Protection of Dusk?”

Her companion was stunned for a moment, having just thought it was good luck, but now hearing Zhao Yaru say this, could it really be the protection of Dusk?

They were all members of the Dusk Church, and the Dusk Church was their faith. Although reason told them that faith was just faith and couldn’t save their lives, the sudden diversion of the Giant Zombie by a mutant beast at this moment… was indeed a bit too coincidental!

And just then, a red light suddenly emanated from the giant bird.

The red light instantly appeared above the head of the Giant Zombie. The Giant Zombie, looking very angry, rapidly ran towards the giant bird.

“What kind of ability is this?”

The previous red light, apart from Zhao Yaru, no one else had seen. Now, as they were running away, they occasionally looked back and many people saw this red light, immediately feeling a surge of surprise. Could mutant beasts also have this kind of ability?

“No, it seems it’s not the mutant beast!”

At this moment, Zhao Yaru suddenly widened her eyes because as the giant bird got closer, she finally saw the full image of the bird–it was a golden eagle!

But this was not the most important part. What mattered most was that a figure suddenly appeared on the back of the eagle!

This figure had a pair of enormous wings and was flying directly towards the Giant Zombie!

“There’s, there’s someone! There’s someone on the back of the mutant beast!”

Zhao Yaru was first bewildered, then followed by boundless shock.

She could feel that this mutant beast had strength comparable to the Giant Zombie. Such strength in a flying mutant beast was already rare to come by. Yet unexpectedly, there was a person on the back of the mutant beast! Could it be that this mutant beast was this person’s mount? And this person could fly too!

As she was shocked, the figure had already flown in front of the Giant Zombie.

Because the Giant Zombie was blocking the view, she did not see how that person attacked. She only saw that, a few seconds after the figure flew over, the body of the Giant Zombie suddenly stiffened, then began to fall backward.

Boom–

A tremor shook the earth, and the Giant Zombie fell to the ground, no longer moving.

“…Dead, is it dead?”

Many people had witnessed this scene, and they were completely dumbfounded.

They thought they were lucky to have a flying mutant beast come by and attract the Giant Zombie’s attention, but they didn’t expect that someone could fly on the back of the mutant beast! Even more unexpectedly, only a few seconds after the human approached the Giant Zombie, the Giant Zombie fell to the ground as if… it was dead!

Oh my god!

To kill the Giant Zombie instantly!

What kind of strength must that be!

Those who were still running stopped; they looked up at the figure with the giant wings in the sky with a mixture of worship and fear.

Some of the more astute people were already thinking about what nice words to say later on, hoping that this powerhouse would not kill them–in the apocalypse, it was not uncommon to see killings and plunderings upon first encounters. Who knew what kind of character this powerhouse had, so it was better to prepare for the worst…

Whoosh–

Wang Tao flapped his wings and quickly landed beside the Giant Zombie.

This Giant Zombie was Level 5, Lord, and since Wang Tao was now Level 6, he did not receive an additional Loot Pack for defeating it. However, the items dropped by the Giant Zombie itself were still available.

[Received: “Fifth Order Crystal Core: Promotion x1”]

[Received: Awakening Energy Pearl x1]

[Received: Awakening Key x1]

[Received: Giant’s Eye x2]

[Received: Giant’s Heart x1]

[Received: Blood Bead x1]

In total, there were 6 pieces of spoils of war; the rest didn’t matter–what was key was the Blood Bead.

Wang Tao saw that there indeed was a Blood Bead and immediately collected the spoils with satisfaction.

At this time, the group that had been attacked by the Giant Zombie was supporting each other, gathering their courage, and shakily making their way toward Wang Tao.

There was no running for them; not to mention that the powerhouse could already fly, the Golden Eagle above their heads was still watching them intently. So rather than running away, it was better to be straightforward, come over and thank this powerhouse, make a good impression, perhaps the big guy was kindhearted, or looked down on the little they had in their pockets, so he might spare them…

“Thank you, sir, for saving our lives–”

These people hadn’t even approached Wang Tao when they all immediately knelt on the ground.

In order to survive, it was not shameful to be humble.

Wang Tao walked silently towards the group with big strides.

Zhao Yaru was bolder; after respectfully kowtowing, she sneakily glanced at this towering man with muscles bulging, over two meters tall, whose wings had disappeared, but who still radiated an aura of terror.

And it was this glance that made her exclaim in shock.

“Priest Lord?!”

She rubbed her eyes, there was no mistake, the chest of this big shot indeed had a badge of a Senior Priest!

Could this be the “Twilight Blessing”?!

Zhao Yaru, who was already extremely loyal to the Dusk Church, suddenly had a fervor in her eyes.

The others, upon hearing Zhao Yaru’s words, were all somewhat confused?

Where is there a priest? Wasn’t their Priest Lord just stuffed between the Giant Zombie’s teeth and killed? What nonsense is this silly woman talking about! If this provokes the big shot, they were afraid they would be meeting the Priest Lord immediately!

“Stand up, all of you. What is your name?”

Wang Tao nodded calmly, then looked towards Zhao Yaru.

This woman was filthy all over, but her condition seemed somewhat better than the others, who appeared to have only a breath left in them. It seemed that asking them a few more questions could finish them off.

“Reporting to Priest Lord! I, I am called Zhao Yaru!”

Zhao Yaru quickly answered with excitement.

The others finally came to the realization after the fact, the Priest Lord mentioned by Zhao Yaru seemed to be not their dead one, but this big shot in front of them?

They immediately looked up, taking a cautious peek at Wang Tao, and then became just as dumbfounded as Zhao Yaru was immediately before.

There was indeed the badge of a Senior Priest from the Dusk Church on this big shot’s chest!

It’s actually one of our own!

And still a Senior Priest Lord!

Wuuuu, saved by one of our own!

Instantly, everyone was so overcome with joy that they were almost driven to tears. Had the situation been more appropriate, they would have wanted to cry out loudly.

“Greetings to Priest Lord!”

Everyone quickly spoke with excitement.

“What happened to you all, how did you end up provoking a Giant Zombie?”

Wang Tao asked with a frown.

There were a total of 13 people still alive amongst this group, all Fourth-order Awakeners. This level of strength was not too powerful in the apocalypse, but it wasn’t weak either.

Giant Zombies are so large, and there were no large buildings nearby to provide cover, so it was definitely not possible for them to encounter a Giant Zombie suddenly. If they had fled before the Giant Zombie discovered them, they should not have ended up in such a miserable situation.

“Reporting, Lord, it was because… one of our Priest Lords wanted to hunt this Giant Zombie.”

Zhao Yaru quickly responded.

“Hm? Another priest? Where is he?”

Wang Tao did not see any priest badge amongst this group of people, who seemed to be all Deacons.

“He’s dead… That Lord was the first to be eaten by the Giant Zombie…”

“…”

Wang Tao was momentarily speechless.

This was somewhat an overestimation of oneself.

“Where is your camp? How many people are there?”

Wang Tao asked again.

“It’s at… There are over ten thousand people!” Zhao Yaru immediately reported a location, then added “We can walk, we won’t be a hindrance to Lord!”

Although she felt that since the Priest Lord had saved them, he probably wouldn’t abandon them now, she was still a bit nervous as it affected her own life. After all, this Priest Lord was too unfamiliar; no one knew what his character was like.

Seeing the pitiable state of these people, Wang Tao didn’t say much more. He gestured with a wave of his hand, and a gust of wind blew up. The Golden Eagle slowly descended in front of everyone.

Seeing such a huge Golden Eagle, feeling the aura emanating from its body that was almost as terrifying as the one from the Giant Zombie, everyone swallowed hard.

“Get on, I’ll take you back.”

Wang Tao was indeed quite interested in this camp.

“Yes!”

Everyone never imagined that they would have the chance to sit on the back of a Fifth-Order Lord Mutant Beast in their lifetimes.

Wang Tao commanded Lightning to quickly devour the corpse of the Giant Zombie; then the Golden Eagle flapped its wings, leading everyone to take off slowly.

With no more threat of death, everyone immediately slumped onto the ground.

Looking at the towering figure in the front, while their hearts were filled with excitement, they suddenly thought of Zhao Yaru’s previous words — do we have the Twilight Blessing?

This seemed… really like the “Twilight Blessing”!

The way everyone looked at Wang Tao gradually turned fervent.
