Afterward, Lu Chuan communicated and linked with all the Corpse Puppets in Li River City. Following the commotion, he quickly discovered more kobold-bodied monsters on other streets.
After observing in secret for a while, Lu Chuan gained a rough understanding of these kobold-bodied monsters.
These monsters are much larger than the average adult, with none standing less than two meters tall.
Their black and yellow eyes are filled with malice, clad in clothes made from various animal pelts. Their bodies appear extremely robust, covered in thick brown fur, and they have a pair of sharp black claws on their powerful arms.
The weakest of the monsters were at least at the second tier, with quite a few at the third tier, and Lu Chuan even saw two or three at the fourth tier.
All were big fellows, each nearly three meters tall, wielding some special metal weapons.
At the same time, these monsters were extremely brutal and ferocious. Whether facing Evolved Zombies or Mutated Fierce Beasts that charged out from the shadows, they would swarm up and tear the enemies apart.
In just a short moment, a large number of Evolved Zombies were shredded to pieces by these monsters.
The Mutated Fierce Beasts met an even worse fate. Their flesh seemed to greatly appeal to these monsters. Once killed, they were devoured without a trace, even the incredibly hard bones were chewed up.
Moreover, Lu Chuan observed that these kobold-bodied monsters were clearly different from zombies or Mutated Fierce Beasts; they possessed a high level of intelligence and had a common racial language, communicating with each other frequently through speech.
Unfortunately, after observing for a while, Lu Chuan still could not locate the specific spot of the space rift.
"It seems that to find the space rift, Iâll have to personally go on a trip!"
Determination flashed in Lu Chuanâs eyes.
Lu Chuan looked toward Ji Ruxue beside him, explaining, "Qiqi, I havenât found the space rift yet, but Iâve already discovered foreign creatures suspected to have come out from it.
These guys, with their kobold bodies, are much stronger than the average adult, with at least second-tier strength.
Currently, these monsters are hunting Evolved Zombies and Mutated Fierce Beasts in Li River City, devouring their Crystal Cores and flesh."
"So theyâre Kobolds!" Ji Ruxue exclaimed with disdain in her tone upon hearing Lu Chuanâs description, instantly recognizing the invading alien race in Li River City this time.
"Qiqi, you know these monsters?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan smiled and looked at Ji Ruxue with curiosity.
Although Qiqi is a reborn individual, her memory hasnât completely recovered, so Lu Chuan wasnât sure she would know this type of monster.
Ji Ruxue nodded and explained, "Yes, Dad, these kobold-bodied monsters are called Kobolds.
They are a type of half-beastman, communal creatures that live in dark caves or mines. They enjoy flesh and blood, living by hunting, their nature brutal, filled with hostility towards all surrounding life forms.
However, Koboldsâ strength is not considered strong among half-beastmen, but their numbers are quite large. Normally, they fight in groups and can use some simple weapons.
But as long as you have your Zombie Army, these Kobolds arenât hard to deal with."
Ji Ruxue then analyzed, "Dad, since these Kobolds have appeared in Li River City, there must be a space rift in the city.
Itâs just that the location of this space rift is probably rather hidden, so you didnât discover it just now.
Moreover, on the other side of the space rift could very well be the place where Kobolds live. If we canât find this space rift, more Kobolds will surely come through next."
Upon hearing Ji Ruxueâs words, Lu Chuanâs expression instantly became serious, filled with a murderous intent against these Kobolds.
"In that case, letâs take action against these Kobolds immediately. Once they are defeated, theyâll surely flee in panic toward the space rift, enabling us to use them to locate its position!"
Lu Chuan nodded, voicing his decision.
Currently, the entire Li River City is his territory as the Corpse King. How could he allow others to sleep soundly on his turf?
The Kobolds being in Li River City, not far from Li River Base City, poses a significant threat to Lu Chuan.
In the face of threats, Lu Chuanâs consistent choice has been to eliminate them as early as possible.
Not to mention, these Kobolds have invaded Li River City to scavenge resources, as evidenced by their hunting of Evolved Zombies and Mutated Fierce Beasts.
And Li River City belongs to Lu Chuan, so these Kobolds are akin to robbing money from Lu Chuanâs pocket; how could he tolerate that?
Ji Ruxue naturally agreed with her fatherâs decision, nodding her little head.
"Dad, youâre right. These half-beastmen have strong bodies, and using their corpses to feed those zombies is much more effective than using equivalent-tier Mutated Fierce Beasts."
Upon hearing Ji Ruxueâs words, Lu Chuanâs eyes lit up immediately.
He hadnât thought of this before. Indeed, these Kobolds are the best flesh feed, with quite a few of them at the third and fourth tiers!
Lu Chuan couldnât resist any longer and immediately took action, gathering half of his underlings, the Corpse Puppets, outside the villa, preparing to advance toward Li River City.
"Qiqi, stay at home, Iâll be back soon!"
After seeing the Corpse Puppets gather, Lu Chuan was ready to set off, turning around to instruct Ji Ruxue.
Unfortunately, Ji Ruxue didnât want to obediently stay at home. She also wanted to go and see and hunt those odious Kobolds. She quickly ran to Lu Chuanâs side, tugging on his sleeve, pleading, "Dad, take me with you!
Iâm also a sixth-tier Evolver now, those Kobolds canât hurt me. I can also help you deal with them."
"Alright, follow along! But donât act on your own, understand?"
Currently, Lu Chuan was much less worried about Qiqiâs safety. Hearing her request, he didnât refuse and nodded in agreement.
Just like Qiqi said, with her strong sixth-tier Evolver strength, those Kobolds couldnât possibly harm her. Naturally, Lu Chuan wasnât worried.
"Thank you, Dad, youâre the best!" Ji Ruxueâs face instantly lit up with a bright smile.
Then, under Lu Chuanâs command, a convoy moved to the front of the villa. Lu Chuan, accompanied by Qiqi and the Corpse Puppets, quickly hopped on the vehicles.
Rumbleïœ
In the next moment, the fully-loaded convoy slowly started, quickly passing through the gates and exiting the Base City.
Subsequently, they sped along a major road towards Li River City.
Simultaneously, Flyer One, circling overhead, had already set off first, scouting everything ahead to prevent any unexpected situations.
