Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

As time slowly passed, the third-level Mutated Giant Tiger trapped in the blood-colored sea roared incessantly, trying to break free from its bonds.

But no matter how it struggled, it was all in vain.

Eventually, the Mutated Giant Tiger showed a look of despair, and its roars turned into a piercing wail, like the wails of ghosts from hell, sending a shiver down anyone's spine.

The body of the Mutated Giant Tiger was covered with Blood-colored Vines.

Those sharp Bloodthirsty Vines crazily burrowed into the wounds and mouth and nose of the Mutated Giant Tiger, penetrating deeper into its body.

They continuously sucked the blood of the third-order Fierce Beast, just like pumps placed in a pool to draw water.

In no time, the once majestic and robust Mutated Giant Tiger shriveled under Lu Chuan's watchful eyes, its gaze dimming.

The screams of the Mutated Giant Tiger grew fainter and finally disappeared.

The dense Bloodthirsty Vine Forest quickly retracted, revealing a large blood-colored vine ball which unraveled to show a bleak white skeleton in the center, with tattered tiger skin draped over it.

After devouring the Mutated Giant Tiger, the ferocity of the Bloodthirsty Vine Forest greatly diminished, and it released Er Pang, Tyrant One, and other Evolved Zombies, as if disdainful of them.

The freed Er Pang and several others, including Tyrant One, slowly walked out of the Bloodthirsty Vine Forest.

The rain continued to fall, washing away the remaining blood of the Mutated Giant Tiger in the Bloodthirsty Vine Forest.

"Sigh, it's strong alright, just not too smart."

Lu Chuan chuckled and fixed his gaze on the skeleton of the Mutated Giant Tiger.

This Mutated Giant Tiger was truly fierce; even Er Pang and the three of them together couldn't withstand it.

Next, Lu Chuan slowly walked towards the Bloodthirsty Vine Forest, approaching the skeleton of the Mutated Giant Tiger to retrieve the hidden Crystal Core from within the bones.

Then, Lu Chuan held the third-level Crystal Core before his eyes, examining it with blood-colored pupils.

The third-level Crystal Core had an overall yellow hue.

However, this Mutated Giant Tiger was extremely powerful among the third-level, so its Crystal Core had a faint touch of green, the glow appearing like green mist hovering on the Crystal Core's surface.

Feeling pleased, Lu Chuan subconsciously glanced at the skeleton of the Mutated Giant Tiger.

"Such a massive body, what a waste!"

It's a pity because the flesh of this third-level Mutated Beast contains enormous energy, which, if used to feed zombies, could expedite their evolution into Evolved Zombies significantly.

Much better than the first and second-level flesh he's been using for feeding.

Nevertheless, Lu Chuan was content to have acquired a third-level Crystal Core so easily today.

After all, if not for the Bloodthirsty Vine Forest, he might not have gotten the third-level Crystal Core and could even suffer heavy losses under the attack of the Mutated Giant Tiger, with Er Pang and Tyrant One possibly lost.

Lu Chuan knew it was because he wasn't strong enough yet.

Facing the Mutated Giant Tiger, apart from Er Pang and the trio barely able to contend with it, the remaining second-level Evolved Zombies could be dealt with in one swipe by it.

If he had seven or eight third-level Evolved Zombies under his command, that Mutated Giant Tiger would definitely flee at the sight of him.

"Luckily, there's this Bloodthirsty Vine Forest."

Lu Chuan looked at the Bloodthirsty Vine Forest, feeling extremely satisfied in his heart.

This success also gave him a taste of sweetness...

In the future, if he encounters troublesome third-level Mutated Beasts, he can still use this method.

Looking at the third-level Crystal Core in his hand, thoughts swirling, Lu Chuan's blood-red eyes slightly shifted.

If a few more appeared, he might directly evolve again.

After a moment, Lu Chuan put the third-level Crystal Core away and, with his Corpse Puppets, embarked on another hunt. After killing a few more Mutant Beasts, he returned to Qingshui Farm with the Corpse Puppets.

Lu Chuan had the Corpse Puppets cut up the blood-reeking Mutated Beast corpses, storing some in the warehouse while others were taken by him to the stadium to feed the zombies.

Unconsciously, another week passed.

These days, Lu Chuan often led his Corpse Puppet army to Yellow Dragon Mountain for hunting, collecting Crystal Cores, and gathering Mutated Beast flesh for the zombies.

Unfortunately, during the week, Lu Chuan didn't encounter any more third-level Fierce Beasts, so his plan to use the Bloodthirsty Vine Forest to evolve was thwarted.

However, there were plenty of first and second-level Mutated Fierce Beasts, and the collected Crystal Cores led to a substantial increase in his second-level Corpse Puppets.

Now, the count of second-level Corpse Puppets had reached 32.

Additionally, Lightning One, Earth Escape One, and Da Pang successfully upgraded to third-level Evolved Zombies after Lu Chuan supplied them with enough second-level Crystal Cores.

Lightning One's body didn't change much, but its limbs elongated considerably, becoming more robust and possessing incredible jumping ability, with speed more than double its previous level.

The steel blade in its hand, when swung, emitted numerous gleams of cold light in the air, causing a stabbing pain in one's body, as the blade itself moved too fast to be seen with the naked eye.

Da Pang, on the other hand, moved towards Er Pang, becoming bigger and bulkier, covered in black Scale Armor, instantly becoming another Gate God to guard Qingshui Farm.

He paired well with Er Pang.

Finally, there was Earth Escape One, which didn't change much in size after evolving, but its entire body appeared earth-yellow, as if composed of soil dust, though its Earth Escape distance increased significantly.

Of course, Lu Chuan's gains during this week were not only these...

Jiangnan City District, the stadium.

The noisy stadium interior buzzed with zombies, emitting ear-piercing howls and chaotic footsteps echoing constantly.

Some zombies stood alone against the walls, scratching at the concrete walls with their claws, seemingly attempting to escape from there.

Some zombies fought and bit each other, devouring each other after killing, while most zombies wandered aimlessly in the center of the stadium.

Rumbling~

The third-level Tyrant One pushed open the door, unleashing a violent aura, immediately quieting the interior, as these zombies feared Tyrant One like a plague.

Using Tyrant One's perspective, Lu Chuan began a meticulous inventory, assessing his harvest during this period.

Unbeknownst to him, far away at Qingshui Farm, a slight smile appeared on Lu Chuan's lips.

The stadium now boasted as many as fifty first-level Evolved Zombies.

Clearly, the effect of Fierce Beast flesh on zombie evolution far exceeded Lu Chuan's estimates.

Naturally, Lu Chuan's joy was not solely due to these fifty first-level Evolved Zombies; there were also a few second-level zombies prominently present in the corner.

"The relentless hunt for Mutated Fierce Beasts every day has finally paid off!"

Gazing at this substantial yield, Lu Chuan couldn't help but exclaim.

It's important to note that Lu Chuan raised these zombies precisely for these Crystal Cores.

The current number of Crystal Cores is sufficient for a considerable upgrade of his Corpse Puppets.
