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

Chapter 534 Ancient Altar!

Lu Chuan manipulated his corpse puppets to clear out all the treants scattered across the battlefield.

Unlike sea creatures, tree people do not retain their physical vitality even after death.

After death, all the life force of a tree-man will be gathered into the tree seed within its body at the moment of death.

This practice will make the tree species vibrant and full of life, and the more vibrant the tree species is, the easier it is for it to regenerate, sprout, and grow again.

Not long after, Lu Chuan's puppet slowly walked over with a box, which was about the size of a suitcase and was filled with tree seeds.

The tree-man seeds are all only the size of lotus seeds, oval in shape, with a rare blood-red skin, oily and smooth surface, a few black lines, and an overall faint blood-red glow.

"Qiqi, the seeds of the Tree Man are all here."

Lu Chuan took the box and presented it to Ji Ruxue.

"Thank you dad!"

Upon seeing a box of seeds from an acquaintance, Ji Ruxue's eyes lit up.

I never expected to be able to collect so many tree species. You know, when a tree person dies, there isn't always a tree species that condense.

Some tree-people die too quickly, or are unwilling to die, and they simply die without leaving behind any tree seeds.

"Qiqi, it's inconvenient for you to carry this. Let the mutated giant tortoise carry it for now! We need to go deeper into the area."

Lu Chuan looked at Ji Ruxue, who was studying the tree species, and smiled as he reminded her.

"Okay." Coming back to her senses, Ji Ruxue nodded quickly upon hearing this, and then, with a thought, summoned her pet.

Rumble~
Immediately, the mutated giant tortoise that had been loafing around on the edge received the order and came running over eagerly. Its massive body scurried across the ground with astonishing force.

"roar~"

The mutated giant tortoise came before Ji Ruxue, lowered its head, and let out a fawning growl.

Ji Ruxue patted the guy's head, then used her mind to control the box and place it in the center of the mutated giant tortoise's shell.

The mutated giant tortoise is enormous; its entire shell looks like a wide, flat piece of land. Therefore, placing the box in the center is extremely stable. Even if the mutated giant tortoise runs wildly, Ji Ruxue is not worried that the box will fall.

Afterwards, Lu Chuan was about to call Zhao Lin and continue their journey deeper into the island.

Rumble~
The sea monster corpse puppets still led the way. The huge sea monster corpse puppets were lined up in several rows, like a heavy tank army, and surged forward without hesitation. Everything in front of them was crushed into pieces by the sea monster corpse puppet army.

On the turtle's back, Lu Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, watching the situation ahead to prevent any unexpected events from occurring.

Behind them, Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin were busy with their own things. Ji Ruxue was processing the newly acquired tree seeds and inspecting them.

These tree species can all become tree people again in the future. If any tree species is found to have an accident, she can take timely remedial measures. After all, a tree species can represent a tree person and cannot be wasted.

The potential of the Treant race should not be underestimated. Once they grow up, they will at least be on the same level as the Treant army from before, reaching the seventh rank.

If Ji Ruxue were to provide further assistance during this process, it's believed that many of these tree-people would eventually reach the eighth rank. Zhao Lin, meanwhile, sat cross-legged on the tortoise's back, with some energy potions beside her. She had already consumed the potions and entered a state of cultivation.

The surrounding energy slowly flowed into Zhao Lin's body, causing her cultivation level to advance towards the eighth rank at a visible speed.

Now, advancing to the eighth rank has almost become Zhao Lin's obsession.

If it weren't for the fact that committing suicide would waste the chance of resurrection, Zhao Lin might have already chosen to use suicide to help herself break through to the eighth rank.

"roar~"

Suddenly, a huge hiss rang out at the forefront of the army. Several of the leading sea monster corpse puppets were sent flying and crashed heavily onto the sea monster corpse puppets behind them.

Standing on the tortoise shell, Lu Chuan's gaze sharpened as he squinted at the colossal python that suddenly burst forth from the forest.

This was a giant black-scaled python, hundreds of meters long, with a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth. Its body was thicker than a water vat. It rampaged through the army, exuding a ferocious aura.

What's peculiar is that this black-scaled giant python has a conspicuous single horn on its head. This horn is short and thick, and the tip is not sharp, making the python look somewhat incongruous, neither like a dragon nor a pure python.

This giant python is quite strong, reaching the eighth rank. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to knock away several equally seventh-rank sea beast corpse puppets as soon as it charged out.

Faced with a ferocious beast whose strength had reached the eighth rank, Lu Chuan did not immediately send the surrounding sea beast corpse puppets to surround it.

While this approach could use numerical superiority to overwhelm the eighth-tier black-scaled giant python, it would also result in excessive casualties among the sea beast corpse puppets.

These sea beast corpse puppets, with strength reaching the seventh rank, are the backbone of Lu Chuan's future zombie horde army. Lu Chuan is unwilling to let them suffer serious damage.

bass!
The next moment, Lu Chuan drew the Sea-Breaking Blade. In an instant, a blue light, like a wave, spread outwards from Lu Chuan.

Whoosh!
Then, without moving his body, Lu Chuan slashed fiercely at the black-scaled giant python charging in the army with the Sea-Breaking Blade in his hand.

In an instant, a dazzling blade of light flashed in the air, and a rapidly flying cyan blade of energy, like a giant crescent moon, slashed towards the black-scaled python.

boom!
Instantly, the black-scaled python let out a miserable cry, its thick body nearly cleaved in two, and it flew out uncontrollably.

Then, the already severely injured black-scaled python could only hold on for a moment before it was engulfed by the entire sea monster corpse puppet, and its screams grew fainter and fainter.

Having dealt with the giant black-scaled python, Lu Chuan did not pause and continued leading his army to advance into the island.

According to what Xiao Qiqi once told him, the ancient ruins were located in a secret realm. To enter these ancient ruins, one had to go deep into the island to find an ancient altar.

Inside the ancient altar, there is an entrance to the ruins.

At the highest point, Lu Chuan slowly scanned his surroundings, carefully searching for traces of the ancient altar, not letting go of any clue.

Over the next period of time, Lu Chuan led his army deeper and deeper into the forest, constantly clearing away the forests that blocked their way. Along the way, he also killed several seventh-tier ferocious beasts that were eager to die.

Then, the army finally arrived at the center of the island. Lu Chuan, who was looking around, suddenly had a bright idea in his eyes and looked ahead.

"We've finally found it! The ancient altar!"
