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

Chapter 532 Tree Man!

Lu Chuan remained calm, the Sea-Breaking Blade in his hand radiating a terrifying aura as it was swung lightly at the oncoming swarm of giant stone crabs.

Whoosh!
In an instant, a rapidly moving emerald-green blade of energy swept through the group of stone crabs.

Instantly, a huge blade mark appeared on the sea surface. All the giant stone crabs along the way were turned into blood mist by this cyan blade energy, a truly gruesome sight.

Even with a rough estimate, this one strike killed at least five hundred giant stone crabs, creating a gap in the crab colony.

Lu Chuan's attack had just ended, and Ji Ruxue's attack was already poised to launch.

swoosh swish~
Ji Ruxue condensed her mental energy into countless needles the thickness of chopsticks, and manipulated thousands of these needles to shoot down together.

The momentum of the entire giant stone crab swarm was halted by the barrage of telekinetic needles.

As you can see, a large number of giant stone crabs charging at the forefront were pierced through their hard shells and penetrated deep into their bodies by countless psychic needles. Their flesh and blood were shredded, and in the next second, they lost their life force and all died during the charge.

Because the giant stone crab killed by the telekinetic needle had its body intact, it floated on the water, staining the surrounding area blood red, which looked extremely terrifying.

The mass death of giant stone crabs directly led to the sparsening of the giant stone crab population at a visible rate.

Although Zhao Lin's attacks were not as strong as Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue's, she still managed to inflict considerable damage on the giant stone crab swarm by continuously unleashing sword energy at them.

Finally, the giant stone crab swarm was quickly wiped out by the three men's relentless attacks, and the corpses of the giant stone crabs were almost scattered all over the nearby sea surface.

Without delay, after dealing with the threat of the surrounding sea monsters, Lu Chuan and his two companions safely reached the shore.

The sea monster corpses on the sea surface were also brought ashore one after another under Lu Chuan's control.

After stepping onto this island of ruins and traveling several miles forward, the only thing Lu Chuan and his companions could see before them was a dense array of towering ancient trees.

These ancient trees, in vast numbers, have formed a primeval forest that blocks the road ahead. To penetrate deeper into the island of ruins, one must pass through this primeval forest.

However, Lu Chuan, who was standing at the forefront, did not make any rash moves.

The surroundings were so quiet, there didn't seem to be a single animal in sight, which was very unusual. This island of ruins must be something strange.

"Lu Chuan, something seems off here! There's not a sound at all. Could it be that no birds or animals live in this forest?"

At this moment, Zhao Lin also noticed something was wrong, and with a puzzled look on her face, she quickly reminded Lu Chuan.

She had fought against alien races in the wild many times before, and had entered countless forests. There was no other reasonable explanation for this phenomenon except that something strange was going on inside.

“I’ve already noticed…” Lu Chuan responded upon hearing this.

"Dad, there should be tree people in this forest!"
Next, we'll enter the forest, so we must be extra careful and avoid being ambushed by the Tree People.

Based on her memories from her previous life, Ji Ruxue quickly shared the information with Lu Chuan.

Treefolk?
Knowing that the Treant race still existed inside, Lu Chuan understood why there were no sounds of birds or beasts inside; they had probably all been eaten by the Treant race long ago.

"Tree People? What are those?" Zhao Lin, standing to the side, asked, completely bewildered after hearing Ji Ruxue's words.

"Aunt Zhao Lin, the Tree People are ancient trees that have become spirits. When they have nothing to do, these Tree People disguise themselves as ordinary ancient trees, growing in the forest, basking in the sunlight, without moving."

But once prey approaches, these tree-men immediately become alert and attack. The tree-men race needs a large amount of flesh and blood as sustenance for their growth. "Next, as we enter the forest, we'll definitely be attacked by these creatures, so everyone be careful."

While explaining to Zhao Lin, Ji Ruxue also reminded the two of them to prevent them from being caught off guard by the Tree People.

After saying that, Ji Ruxue put on the dragon armor.

Seeing this, Zhao Lin, who was standing next to her, followed suit and put on the dragon armor from her backpack to ensure her safety.

Lu Chuan didn't do that, because ever since he obtained the Flood Dragon Armor, he had never taken it off, even when he slept.

"Tree-people are indeed difficult to distinguish..."

After some thought, Lu Chuan decided to send his sea beast puppets ahead to clear the way, taking into account the Treant race's ability to conceal themselves.

Even if we encounter an attack from the Treant race, it won't be a big problem; at most, we'll only lose a few sea monster corpse puppets.

"Qiqi, Zhao Lin, you two stay by my side."

Lu Chuan beckoned the two to his side.

Immediately with a thought, rows of sea beast corpse puppets began to advance towards the primeval forest.

Lu Chuan, along with Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin, followed behind, carrying the remaining corpse puppets.

Rumble~
The sea monster corpse puppet, due to its enormous size, makes a tremendous commotion when it moves through the forest.

Sometimes, because the distance between two giant trees is limited, the sea monster corpse puppet, with its enormous body, will simply crash into them and break the giant tree blocking its way.

As the rows of sea monster corpse puppets advanced, a wide, open road appeared before Lu Chuan and his companions. The giant trees that had previously blocked their view were all broken and trampled into pieces.

They ventured deeper and deeper, traveling for several miles. Although the ancient trees destroyed by the sea monster corpse puppets were countless, they still had not found a single tree person.

This made Lu Chuan start to wonder. Could it be that Xiao Qiqi's memory was wrong, or that those tree people just happened to be not in this location?

Just as Lu Chuan was wondering, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from ahead. A sea monster corpse puppet was about to smash the ancient tree blocking its way.

The ancient tree's thick branches suddenly moved, like countless thick whips, fiercely striking the sea beast corpse puppet.

Bang!
"roar~"

The sea monster corpse puppet was instantly struck by numerous branches, letting out a painful scream.

Then, the enormous tortoise body was sent flying by the terrifying force, crashing into a sea beast corpse puppet behind it before finally coming to a stop.

Furthermore, many visible cracks appeared on the shell on its back.

After delivering this blow, the trunk of the giant tree began to tremble.

boom!
As the earth rumbled, the hidden tree-man finally stopped hiding, revealing an ugly face on its trunk. It roared and pulled roots from the ground, waving branches and sweeping them across the surrounding sea beast corpses.
