Yellow Dragon Town.
The convoy drove past as usual.
At this time, Yellow Dragon Town was incredibly silent; not even a passing zombie could be seen on the streets, which were completely deserted.
This is because, earlier, Lu Chuan had personally visited Yellow Dragon Town and directly transformed the zombies here into Corpse Puppets.
Currently, these Corpse Puppets have become piglets and have been sent by Lu Chuan to be raised in the gym.
"Quan, how about we secretly follow them to see what these zombies are actually up to?"
By the window on the first floor of an apartment building, a survivor, full of curiosity, softly suggested to Quan beside him.
These zombies have been coming and going from Yellow Dragon Town unknown times, and they have no idea what they are actually doing.
Hearing this, Zhang Quanâs face fell, glaring at the other person, "If you want to die, donât drag me along!"
He wasnât stupid; zombies being able to drive obviously indicate a considerable level of intelligence.
If this group of zombies discovered them trailing behind, wouldnât they rush in and tear them apart!
Moreover, now the entire Yellow Dragon Townâs zombies seem to have been drawn away by the zombie convoy, making it very safe to go outside and search for food.
No longer needing to worry about an unnoticed zombie rushing out from a corner to bite and chew them.
Being able to survive safely, Zhang Quan naturally wouldnât take any risks.
Who cares what theyâre up to, as long as it doesnât affect him, he pretends he doesnât see it.
"Go, call the others; letâs go down to gather supplies!"
Watching the convoy move farther away, gradually disappearing from view, Zhang Quan instructed the survivor beside him.
"Okay!"
Being reprimanded by Zhang Quan, the survivor got sensible. Hearing Zhang Quanâs words, he nodded, turned around, and ran off to call people.
Yellow Dragon Mountain.
Lu Chuan commanded his army of Corpse Puppets, once again entering Yellow Dragon Mountain.
Todayâs weather was great; the sky was clear with no clouds, everything in view was distinctly visible.
Perhaps recently, he had been killing too ruthlessly.
When Lu Chuan passed through the outermost region, he only encountered two first-tier Mutant Beasts, one a giant greenish goat with two robust sharp horns on its head, and the other a massive black-scaled giant snake exuding a fierce aura.
Both Mutant Beasts, just before dying, couldnât even utter a sound; their heads were severed instantly by the steel knife wielded by Lightning One.
After controlling second-tier Corpse Puppets to extract the Crystal Cores, the team proceeded.
As they ventured deeper, they began encountering more and more Mutated Fierce Beasts. In a short moment, Lu Chuan had already amassed quite a few first-tier Crystal Cores.
As the team stormed through a pine forest.
Roar~
Several deafening roars suddenly came, and immediately, with the aid of Lightning Oneâs body, Lu Chuan could distinctly feel the ground constantly trembling, as if Fierce Beasts were about to rush out from the pine forest.
Alert!
Lu Chuanâs heart immediately became vigilant, commanding the Corpse Puppets to quickly form a kind of fan-shaped formation, with Er Pang at the forefront, Lightning One on the side, Flame One in the center for ranged attacks, and other second-tier Corpse Puppets stationed on the outer edges, ready to act.
Rumble~
The heavy footsteps came from afar, as if a thousand armies were charging.
Roar~
The next moment, dozens of giant figures leaped out of the pine forest, charging toward the Corpse Puppet team, like dozens of cars pushed to their maximum speed, crashing head-on.
They were dozens of Mutated Giant Pigs, the largest with a shoulder height of three meters, and the smallest with a shoulder height of two meters, exuding a fierce presence, formidable in momentum.
These Mutated Giant Pigs were well-fed and robust, covered in a thick layer of Mud Armor, with bristles like steel needles, hard and sharp, tusks aiming toward the sky, gleaming with a cold light, with blood-red eyes full of ferocity.
Ten first-tier, five second-tier!
Lu Chuan had already seen through the complete strength of the Mutated Pig Group.
Boom!
As the Mutated Pig Group charged close, Flame One, having already charged up, immediately acted, unleashing several scorching Fireballs, exploding directly in the midst of the Mutated Pig Group.
Instantly, two first-tier Mutated Giant Pigs that didnât dodge in time were killed, their flesh flying.
Additionally, three first-tier Mutated Giant Pigs and one second-tier Mutated Giant Pig were injured, their bodies ablaze, emitting cries of pain from their mouths.
However, Flame Oneâs attack didnât rout the Mutated Pig Group; instead, it incited the ferocity of these Mutated Giant Pigs.
Subsequently, these Mutated Giant Pigs started crazily accelerating, their long tusks aimed forward, charging toward Er Pang and the other Corpse Puppets.
Roar!
Er Pang looked like the Demon Lord of Chaos, standing at the forefront, with a roar, the iron rod in his hand swung in the air, emitting a whistling sound.
Boom!
Er Pang directly faced the second-tier Mutated Giant Pig at the forefront, the strongest in build, wielding the iron rod like a celestial pillar, fiercely striking down on the giant pigâs forehead.
Boom!
Supreme Giant Power unleashed, the Mutated Giant Pigâs head exploded, blood and brain matter splattering, its massive body lifelessly falling to the ground.
Second-tier Mutant Beasts stood no chance against Er Pang, a third-tier.
The other Corpse Puppets also began engaging the Mutated Giant Pigs continuously, and with Lightning One and Flame One present, the remaining Mutated Giant Pigs were soon slaughtered completely.
Instructing the Corpse Puppets to transport the bodies of the Mutated Giant Pigs down the mountain, Lu Chuan looked at the dozen or so Crystal Cores in Er Pangâs hands, feeling very pleased.
"I wonder if this time, we can encounter a third-tier Mutated Fierce Beast!"
Looking at the vast forest in front, Lu Chuan secretly anticipated.
...
Farm.
Inside the room, Ji Ruxue, who should have been obediently resting in bed due to lunchtime, had already sneaked up.
She knew her father was commanding zombies to hunt Fierce Beasts again and wouldnât be distracted enough to notice her.
So, she prepared to sprint for the fourth-tier realm.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing her eyes and focusing her mind, Ji Ruxue began practicing the Glazed Breathing Technique.
Surrounding Energy Factors, following Ji Ruxueâs special breathing, transformed into a trickling stream, flowing into Ji Ruxueâs petite body.
As time passed, the energy flowing into Ji Ruxueâs body increased, and the aura she radiated gradually rose.
Boom!
It was as if a thunderclap sounded in her ear, Ji Ruxueâs aura surged upwards, then swept through the entire room like a tidal wave!
From this point, Ji Ruxue successfully ascended to the fourth-tier, becoming a fourth-tier Evolver.
The energy within her body, like an unending river, continually transformed Ji Ruxueâs physique, her skin as white as jade, making her look like a porcelain doll.
The nourishment from energy caused Ji Ruxueâs figure to grow slightly larger, her aura strong and vigorous, containing terrifying power within her delicate body.
Apart from greatly enhancing her body, Ji Ruxueâs Telekinesis also surged again, with significant improvement in her Spiritual Power.
With a thought, Ji Ruxueâs body instantly floated up.
The next moment, Ji Ruxue transformed into streaks of light, flying swiftly around the room.
After a few breaths, Ji Ruxue returned to the bed, her eyes filled with joy. With her current Telekinesis strength, she could already sustain prolonged aerial flight.
And her speed was incredibly fast, with greatly enhanced offensive and defensive capabilities.
Additionally, after reaching the fourth-tier, in increased Evolver power, she could already employ Cultivation Techniques to manipulate Energy Factors of the universe, finally able to perform some of her past lifeâs Secret Techniques.
