Zombie King: Picking up a baby at the beginning is the reincarnation of the empress

Chapter 357: The location of the Zombie King has been located; let's begin!
night.

dinner time.

In the hall, next to the dining table, Ji Ruxue used a small spoon to continuously scoop the fried rice from the rim of the bowl.

A few minutes later, Ji Ruxue put the last bowl of fried rice in her mouth, chewed it, patted her round belly, and jumped off the chair.

"Dad, I've finished eating, I'm going back to my room now!"

Ji Ruxue glanced at her father, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed in deep thought. She knew he was probably controlling a zombie hunt. After calling out to him, she went back to her room and closed the door behind her.

At this moment, Lu Chuan was indeed controlling his puppets to hunt, especially agile puppets like Lightning No. 1.

These corpse puppets are now roaming rapidly in the Nine-Linked Mountains behind the town, searching for traces of ferocious beasts, especially fourth-order mutated ferocious beasts.

Lu Chuan's main purpose in hunting was to obtain fourth-tier crystal cores, but during his daytime hunt, he did not encounter a single fourth-tier mutated ferocious beast.

This even made him wonder if there were any fourth-order mutated ferocious beasts in the vast Nine-Linked Mountains. After all, fourth-order mutated ferocious beasts are still very rare, so it wouldn't be surprising if there weren't any in the Nine-Linked Mountains.

However, after returning, Lu Chuan was still somewhat unwilling and decided to search the Jiulian Mountains again that night, just in case he found something.

Moreover, as long as he can find enough fourth-order crystal cores, he can easily increase the number of fifth-order corpse puppets under his command. Right now, he has four fifth-order corpse puppets, which he feels is still too few.

Unfortunately, the hunting situation in the coming period was destined to utterly disappoint Lu Chuan.

His puppets, including Lightning Number One, have searched almost the entire Nine-Linked Mountains, but so far, they haven't even seen a single fourth-tier mutated ferocious beast; the strongest among them are only third-tier.

Inside the bedroom, Ji Ruxue sat cross-legged on the bed, gazed at the moonlight outside the window, and slowly closed her eyes to begin her cultivation for the day.

Immediately, Ji Ruxue calmed her mind and began to practice the Glazed Breathing Technique, continuously absorbing energy factors from the outside world.

As Ji Ruxue circulated her cultivation technique, the energy in the room surged rapidly, as if being pulled by a powerful suction force, transforming into thin streams of energy that rushed towards Ji Ruxue.

The Glazed Spirit Pill within Ji Ruxue's body slowly rotated, rapidly refining the torrent of energy surging into her body into glazed spiritual power.

Streams of spiritual energy circulated through the meridians of the body, eventually returning to the Glazed Spirit Pill.

As time passed, Ji Ruxue's aura continued to slowly increase, gradually building up to a powerful aura of a fifth-tier cultivator, which she held back without unleashing it.

It's important to understand that the path of evolution before and after the fifth rank is like two completely different worlds.

After reaching the fifth rank, it becomes much more difficult to improve one's cultivation level, and the speed of progress will never be as fast as it was at the lower ranks.

Often, even after years of cultivation, it is impossible to break through in terms of realm.

Fortunately, Ji Ruxue's Glazed Breathing Technique is among the top-tier cultivation techniques, and its absorption effect on external energy is terrifyingly powerful.

Otherwise, relying solely on absorbing and exhaling external energy for cultivation might be even slower than a tortoise's pace.

The room was very quiet. Ji Ruxue, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly frowned, opened her eyes, and a look of doubt flashed in them.

The next moment, Ji Ruxue's expression turned solemn, her spiritual power surged, and she made hand seals, using a spirit communication technique to control the dozen or so insects and moths outside the window, and began to investigate the situation of the entire town.

Then a dozen or so moths took flight, quickly separating in the night and flying off to different parts of the town.

Inside the room, Ji Ruxue observed everything in the town from the perspective of insects and moths, looking for any possible anomalies.

"It's strange, even though there's no one around, I still have this feeling of being watched!"

Ji Ruxue frowned, a look of confusion on her face. She had just controlled the moths to search the entire town several times, but found nothing unusual, and no one had entered the town.

This is so weird.

"Is it my imagination?"

Ji Ruxue's eyes flickered slightly, suspecting that she had overexerted herself in the Lijiang city area last time, resulting in her mental strength not fully recovering.

In the end, Ji Ruxue suppressed her doubts and stopped thinking about it. She closed her eyes and immersed herself in cultivation.

Outside the window, on the distant street, Zhao Bing, who had transformed into an ordinary zombie, was wandering away with a group of zombies, slowly leaving the street.

And just like that, two days passed.

Lu Chuan and Zhao Lin gradually got used to Zhao Lin's departure, and Lu Chuan would cook less each time.

These past two days, Lu Chuan has been taking Xiao Qiqi into the mountains to hunt, as he always has.

Since he couldn't find any fourth-tier mutated ferocious beasts, Lu Chuan could only suffer the hardship of finding third-tier ferocious beasts in the mountains.

Of course, during the hunt, Lu Chuan did not forget to train Xiao Qiqi's close combat ability. He would often select some ferocious beasts that did not cause much damage as Xiao Qiqi's sparring partners, so that the little guy could apply the Blood Fiend Blade Technique to actual combat.

Rumble~
As evening fell, a long convoy of cars once again drove in from outside the town and soon stopped in front of the courtyard.

Under Lu Chuan's control, the corpse puppets began to carry the carcasses of ferocious beasts that were loaded onto the vehicle out and take them to the neighboring courtyard for decomposition.

Meanwhile, some corpse puppets picked up buckets filled with well water and washed the cart, which was covered in animal blood.

Lu Chuan carried a bag full of crystal cores in one hand and held Xiao Qiqi's hand with the other as they walked into the courtyard.

At this moment, at the end of the street, a gaze was fixed on Lu Chuan's back until he entered the courtyard.

Amidst the horde of zombies, Zhao Bing slowly lowered his head, averting his gaze, his eyes filled with joy.

After observing for the past two days, he has made some discoveries.

Since this little girl is not the zombie king, the fact that she, a human, can live among a group of evolved zombies means that she must have some connection with the real zombie king.

In other words, the one who gets close to the little girl is very likely the zombie king.

Through his observations over this period of time, he could always see the little girl following a particularly strange-looking zombie.

Judging from the other person's appearance, he looked very much like a human, not a zombie. However, in his perception, this person was definitely a zombie.

Even the Zombie King.

This zombie, although it looked about the same size as an ordinary zombie and its aura was not strong, was able to move freely among a group of high-level evolved zombies and was very close to the little girl, so it was obviously not simple.

This is also why Zhao Bing identified it as the zombie king.

A moment later, Zhao Bing, still in his zombie form, broke away from the surrounding zombie horde and slowly walked out of the town.

Now that the location of the zombie king has been confirmed, he must immediately return to report to the captain to prevent the zombie king from escaping again.
