Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 378: Chapter 390: Old Turtle Enters the Li River!

After decimating the mutated ferocious fish, Lu Chuan was very satisfied, manipulating his corpses to transport the bodies of the mutated ferocious fish to the military vehicles in the rear.

Since the method was feasible, Lu Chuan naturally started using it directly.

In the following period, Lu Chuan and his daughter cooperated with each other and successfully ambushed and killed six batches of mutated ferocious fish.

They finally stopped only when they attracted almost all the wandering mutated ferocious fish in this section of the Li River area.

Five military vehicles were almost filled to the brim.

Having completed the hunt, Lu Chuan took Little Qiqi and manipulated the convoy to return to the Li River Base City.

A moment later, on the high walls of the zombie breeding base.

Bang bang bang~

The bodies of mutated ferocious fish were thrown over the high walls, instantly triggering a commotion among the dense horde of zombies, who rushed towards the flesh with loud roars.

In no time, the area around the bodies of the mutated ferocious fish on the ground was encircled by rings of zombies.

These zombies opened their putrid mouths wide, frantically gnawing at the bodies, and in just a short while, a massive fish carcass over three meters long was reduced to mere white bones.

“These zombies are really lucky!”

Watching the zombies scramble, Ji Ruxue shook her head, marveling inwardly.

These mutated ferocious fish are fierce beasts, and their flesh is, naturally, full of energy, a great tonic!

Ordinary humans can’t eat them even if they wish to, but these zombies can eat their fill.

Then, Ji Ruxue’s gaze turned towards the Li River outside the city.

She and Dad are going to settle in the Li River Base City in the future, with few mountains around and a scant number of fierce beasts.

Yet the Li River is a veritable treasure trove. If they can take advantage of it, she and Dad won’t have to worry about fierce beast meat in the future.

Thinking of fierce beasts, Ji Ruxue couldn’t help but recall the Old Turtle.

During this time, she had been feeding the Old Turtle, and with the ample supply of crystal cores and fierce beast flesh and blood, it had successfully advanced to the fourth level.

It is now a genuine fourth-level mutated fierce beast.

She calculated that it was almost time to feed the Old Turtle.

However, considering the scary number of mutated ferocious fish in the Li River, Ji Ruxue thought perhaps she wouldn’t need to feed the Old Turtle anymore.

Sending the Old Turtle directly into the Li River to fend for its own food and drink would be much more convenient.

Moreover, the Old Turtle, now a fourth-level mutated ferocious fish adept at defense, has an incredibly low chance of encountering danger even when entering the Li River.

“Dad, I’m going to feed Little Turtle now. If you want to hunt mutated ferocious fish again, be sure to let me know!”

Ji Ruxue looked at Lu Chuan beside her, flashed a cute smile, and reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan, who was observing the zombies’ evolution inside the wall, came back to his senses and nodded with a smile.

“Then Qiqi is off!”

Ji Ruxue wrapped herself in telekinesis and flew towards the north side of Li River Base City.

Soon, Ji Ruxue arrived in front of an artificial pond, which was covered with duckweed, a swath of green.

This pond wasn’t dug by them but was originally there, likely excavated by the original Li River Base City’s officials for fish farming.

Having been in use for not long, some ferocious fish, mutated from blue fish inside, had been completely devoured by the Old Turtle.

“Little Turtle, come out!”

Ji Ruxue landed by the pond and called out while looking at the calm water’s surface.

As if hearing Ji Ruxue’s voice, the mutated giant turtle submerged in the water suddenly opened its eyes, filled with excitement, and quickly paddled its limbs towards the shore.

Splash~

Soon, the mutated giant turtle surfaced, climbing to the shore with most of its body above the water.

“Little Turtle, you’re really getting big. I fear another evolution, and this pond might not hold you!”

Ji Ruxue looked at the mutated giant turtle and said with a smile.

At that moment, the mutated ferocious fish’s body was comparable to a heavy tank, with its head and limbs covered in thick scale armor, each plate about the size of an adult’s fist, hexagonal and emitting a cold metallic glow.

The turtle shell on the mutated giant turtle’s back was even more remarkable, seemingly crafted from black jade, with tightly interlocked panels exuding a glossy spiritual light, looking extremely sturdy.

Looking at the Old Turtle before her, Ji Ruxue couldn’t help but recall the terrifying giant turtle from her past life that reached the Emperor Realm; if nurtured well, the Old Turtle might just achieve the Emperor Realm.

Only…

Ji Ruxue furrowed her brows, recalling that since taming the Old Turtle, it hadn’t experienced any decent battles.

No, this can’t continue; without experiencing battles, the Old Turtle would be spoiled.

“It’s perfect; I’ll have the Old Turtle enter the Li River, resolving the feeding issue while hunting in the river gives it combat experience.”

A glint of determination flashed in Ji Ruxue’s eyes.

“Roar~”

At this moment, the affectionate mutated giant turtle towards Ji Ruxue let out a few confused growls, eyes full of puzzlement.

It seemed to be complaining about where its master put the food, wondering why she didn’t bring any today.

“Always thinking of food! Follow me!”

Ji Ruxue came back to her senses, glared at the mutated giant turtle, then telekinesis surged, wrapping its massive body, taking it to fly towards the Li River.

Flyer One, patrolling the sky, noticed this scene and quickly followed, under Lu Chuan’s control, hovering above, ready to intervene in case of danger.

Soon, Ji Ruxue brought the Old Turtle to the shore.

“Roar~”

Gazing at the turbulent river ahead, the mutated giant turtle became visibly excited, letting out a roar, eager to leap in.

“Go ahead!” Seeing this, Ji Ruxue nodded.

Instantly, the ordered mutated giant turtle let out a joyous roar, and its tank-like body rushed into the Li River.

Bang!

As the mutated giant turtle plunged into the river, a large splash was sent skyward, and swirling waves converged in all directions.

The sky is high, allowing birds to fly; the sea is wide, permitting fish to leap. As the mutated giant turtle plunged into the river, staring at the mutated ferocious fish, it was utterly thrilled, and instantly the river around it turned into writhing water snakes darting into the distance.

The river surface bubbled immediately, while the mutated ferocious fish entangled by the water snakes struggled fiercely, sending waves surging.

Soon, six varied-sized mutated ferocious fish were dragged back by the water snakes and delivered into the mutated giant turtle’s huge maw.

In just a few breaths, those six large mutated ferocious fish were cleanly devoured by the mutated giant turtle.
