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

Chapter 382 The little turtle is in danger!

The external disturbances had no effect on Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue in Lijiang Base City.

Once the zombie farm is up and running, the amount of flesh and blood needed every day will be considerable. Lu Chuan and his companion will go to the Li River every day to harvest the mutated ferocious fish together.

Of course, Lu Chuan wouldn't take up too much of Ji Ruxue's time. After all, his little Qiqi wasn't a zombie who didn't know how to tire, and he didn't want to tire out his precious daughter because of it.

Lijiang Base City, Villa District.

Inside the bedroom, Ji Ruxue sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes and concentrated, circulating her cultivation technique to absorb the surrounding energy, and her fifth-order aura emanated from her body.

Within her body, surging energy, like waves, continuously flowed through her meridians. Subsequently, Ji Ruxue refined it into streams of spiritual essence, which were then incorporated into the spiritual pill.

The elixir, which had been slowly rotating, trembled slightly, emitting a dazzling spiritual light and faintly exuding a terrifying aura.

As spiritual energy continued to flow in, the aura emanating from Ji Ruxue rose visibly, like climbing a mountain.

Feeling the steady increase in her cultivation, Ji Ruxue, who remained seated, smiled slightly.

These past few days, aside from helping her father hunt those mutated ferocious fish in the Li River, she has spent almost all her remaining time cultivating.

It's fair to say that he's worked much harder than before.

Ji Ruxue's sense of urgency, stemming from her father's capture of Lijiang Base City, not only did not disappear but intensified as events unfolded.

The reason is that things have been too calm lately. The destruction of Lijiang Base City, such a big event, seems to have gone completely unnoticed by the surrounding base cities, which is too abnormal.

Having memories of the apocalypse in her previous life, Ji Ruxue understood that this was definitely not the way humans acted; it was very likely that the human side was secretly plotting a grand conspiracy.

Ji Ruxue seized the time to cultivate, hoping to further enhance her strength before the humans made their move.

If possible, it would be even better if she could advance to the sixth rank. This would make it easier for her to face human attacks and reduce the pressure on her father.

After an unknown amount of time, feeling that her meridians had reached their limit and she was in a slight pain, Ji Ruxue slowly opened her eyes, stopped circulating her cultivation technique, and quickly gathered her aura inward.

"It's almost eleven o'clock. Dad should be finishing cooking soon. Let's go out now!"

Ji Ruxue glanced at the alarm clock on the table, her eyes flashed, and then she got out of bed, put on a pair of pink slippers, and walked downstairs.

Soon after arriving downstairs, Ji Ruxue was surprised to find that her father had already cooked all the dishes.

"Fish again! Dad, can we eat something else? If we keep eating like this, Qiqi will grow fish scales all over her body."

Unexpectedly, the next second, Ji Ruxue, who had just sat down in the chair, looked at the braised fish in the large bowl with a bitter expression.

Daddy's fish was indeed very good, and it suited his taste perfectly, but even the most delicious food can't be eaten all the time!

She's gotten tired of eating fish every day.

Although the fish was still the same fish and tasted delicious, for some reason, Ji Ruxue could always smell a fishy smell when she looked at the fish in the bowl, which greatly reduced her appetite.

Lu Chuan, who was standing not far away, smiled upon hearing this, feeling somewhat helpless.

You can't blame him for that; it's just that these ferocious fish are easy to catch.
There aren't many mountains and forests near the Lijiang base city, so there are very few ferocious beasts. It's not easy to send Flying One to capture a ferocious beast in the vicinity.

Furthermore, even if you catch one, it may not necessarily be suitable as a food ingredient.

However, Lu Chuan naturally had to fulfill Xiao Qiqi's request. He stepped forward, patted Xiao Qiqi's head, and wrote on the paper: "Okay, Xiao Qiqi, Daddy will make you other delicious food tomorrow, not fish. Is that alright?"

"Yes! Dad, as long as it's not fish, Qiqi is fine." Looking at the words on the note, Ji Ruxue smiled and nodded heavily.

"Okay, tomorrow Dad will go and catch a pig for you to make your favorite braised pork ribs."

"Alright, hurry up and eat! Otherwise, the food will get cold."

Lu Chuan smiled upon hearing this and wrote it down on the paper.

Immediately, Ji Ruxue glanced at the dishes on the table, pursed her lips, and buried her head in her food.

In just a few minutes, Ji Ruxue finished eating all the rice in her bowl, put down her chopsticks, and jumped off the chair.

"Dad, I'm full. I'm going back to my room to rest!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Ruxue hurriedly rushed into the bedroom with her short legs and closed the door.

Lu Chuan, who was observing the surroundings of Lijiang Base City from the perspective of the corpse puppet, was brought back to his senses upon hearing Xiao Qiqi's voice.

Seeing the few bowls of almost untouched food on the table, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

On the other side, after closing the door, Ji Ruxue picked up the water glass on the table, took a few sips, and smoothed her throat.

Afterwards, Ji Ruxue prepared to return to her bed to continue her cultivation.

However, at this moment, Ji Ruxue paused and her expression changed.

She suddenly sensed that the old tortoise was calling for help.

what happened?

Ji Ruxue's eyes were full of doubt.

Since entering the Li River, the old tortoise, with its fourth-level cultivation, has become one of the strongest in the Li River, and has almost never encountered a ferocious fish that can match it.

When it gets hungry, it catches and devours a few ferocious fish in the water; when it gets bored, it picks out a few ferocious fish and teases them vigorously. It is extremely carefree, and no one can do anything to it. It lives a very comfortable life.

Ji Ruxue could even occasionally see two or three larger, ferocious female tortoises circling around the old tortoise...

But now, the domineering old tortoise has suddenly asked her for help in an unusual way, which is quite unusual. It is obvious that he has encountered a powerful enemy!
Could there be a ferocious beast in the Li River that could threaten the old turtle?

For the old tortoise to call for help, it must be at least a fourth-tier ferocious beast!
A fourth-tier ferocious beast... Ji Ruxue couldn't help but think of the giant black-scaled python they had encountered on the Lijiang Bridge.

That guy's strength is definitely no less than that of the old tortoise.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are ferocious fish and beasts in the Li River that can threaten the old turtle.

The reason the old tortoise hadn't encountered it before was likely because this section of the Li River was the territory of the black-scaled giant python, and other ferocious beasts wouldn't easily venture there.

But things are different now. The Black-Scaled Python has been dead for some time now, and the surrounding fourth-tier ferocious beasts, having not seen the Black-Scaled Python for so long, are probably impatient and have entered this section of the Li River.

By sheer coincidence, I bumped into the old tortoise...

Frowning slightly and suppressing her suspicions, Ji Ruxue no longer hesitated. Gathering her mental energy, she quickly flew out of the window and sped towards the Li River.

She had high hopes for the old tortoise and absolutely could not let anything happen to it!
