Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 443 - 454: Kobolds!
Chapter 443: Chapter 454: Kobolds!
Suddenly, Ji Ruxue, who was just happy about the impending breakthrough, had her smile freeze, her brow wrinkle, and her expression instantly turn serious, her gaze growing cold.
There was actually a faint trace of demonic qi in the air!
As her heart trembled, Ji Ruxue immediately reacted.
An alien invasion!
“It seems like the extra-dimensional invasion has begun. The world must be full of spatial rifts now! Otherwise, how could there be demonic qi!”
Ji Ruxue’s expression grew solemn, her heart increasingly tense.
The alien invasion had finally come.
However, for now, the invasion had just begun, so the concentration of demonic qi in the air wasn’t high, and it was the easiest time to fend off the aliens.
But as time passed, the concentration of demonic qi worldwide would inevitably increase, and the environment would become increasingly suitable for alien survival.
At that time, the aliens would launch a large-scale invasion of the world!
Facing the alien invasion, Ji Ruxue knew that her current state of mind was no longer suited for cultivation. She quickly withdrew from her cultivation, stopped the flow of spiritual essence within her body, withdrawing even the immensely powerful sixth-tier aura back within.
“Since the alien invasion has already begun, I should go warn Dad so he can be prepared! Ideally, we should clean up Li River City to avoid any trouble!”
With a decision made, Ji Ruxue’s eyes flashed, and she quickly got up from the bed, donned her bunny slippers, and hurriedly ran downstairs.
At that moment, Lu Chuan had also finished his cultivation and was just returning to the villa with his group of corpse puppets, walking through the front door.
“Qiqi, what’s up? Hungry?” Lu Chuan greeted as usual upon seeing Qiqi come down from upstairs.
However, seeing that Qiqi’s expression was off, Lu Chuan frowned, a bad premonition surfacing in his heart. He quickly stepped forward, asking urgently, “Qiqi, what’s going on?”
“Dad, I just sensed demonic qi in the air, meaning the alien invasion has begun!” Ji Ruxue wasted no words, quickly informing Lu Chuan of her discovery.
Compared to herself, Dad was more capable of dealing with cleaning up Li River City.
“So it’s indeed an alien invasion. Has it started so soon?”
Lu Chuan’s pupils shrank, a sense of crisis rushing over him, his heart tightening.
What was meant to come was inevitably here!
After Qiqi’s reminder, Lu Chuan began carefully sensing the energies in the air and soon faintly detected a strange energy pervading the air.
With a slight frown, Lu Chuan mobilized his internal spiritual essence, concentrating it at the tip of his right index finger, and attempted to touch the energy in the air.
Sizzle～
The next moment, Lu Chuan retracted his hand, the spiritual essence at his fingernail instantly dispersing.
Feeling the change as his spiritual essence made contact with the energy, Lu Chuan’s expression darkened, his heart certain that it was indeed an alien invasion.
This new energy in the air seemed innately malevolent, possessing a strong invasive capability and a bizarre infective nature. Had Lu Chuan not dispersed it in time, this energy could have even invaded his body through the spiritual essence.
Though unsure of the effects this energy might have if it entered his body, Lu Chuan dared not gamble.
This must be the demonic qi Qiqi mentioned.
Lu Chuan’s gaze deepened.
Thinking about the strangeness of this demonic qi, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but grow more wary of the aliens yet to reveal themselves.
With such demonic qi, the aliens living within it surely weren’t simple.
“Sigh～”
Immediately, a heavy-hearted Lu Chuan seemed to realize something, sighing helplessly.
Originally, he thought the alien invasion would come after some time; he never expected it to arrive so quickly, as he was still preparing to advance to the seventh tier before dealing with the invading aliens.
Unfortunately, these aliens gave him no such opportunity!
He wondered just how strong the first wave of arriving aliens would be and whether his sixth-tier corpse puppets could contend with them.
Lu Chuan pondered silently in his heart.
“Dad, those aliens emerge from spatial rifts, as does this demonic qi. Especially, this demonic qi is terrifying, with assimilative abilities.
Over time, prolonged exposure to a demonic qi environment can gradually assimilate creatures with weak wills, turning them into fearsome monsters, becoming cruel by nature, exceedingly bloodthirsty, and slaughtering all living beings around them.”
“To find these aliens, the spatial rifts distributed everywhere must be located!”
Seeing her father treating the situation as a great enemy, Ji Ruxue hurriedly explained.
As long as they could eliminate those aliens promptly, locate potential spatial rifts within Li River Base City, and continuously exterminate creatures influenced by the demonic qi, she and her father could effectively curb the alien invasion of Li River City for a long time.
This way, Li River Base City would be significantly more secure, and she and her father could gain a critical development period.
“Alright!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan closed his eyes and concentrated, immediately directing his zombie army to begin searching the entirety of Li River City for traces of aliens and spatial rifts.
Seeing this, Ji Ruxue stood silently beside him, quietly waiting. Although her spiritual power wasn’t weak, her search range was nowhere near her father’s.
While linking with the consciousness of his numerous corpse puppets, Lu Chuan instantly sensed a huge influx of information pouring into his mind, giving him a sudden headache.
A moment later, Lu Chuan opened his eyes, a gleam flashing through them.
“Little Qiqi, I’ve found something!”
Lu Chuan looked at Ji Ruxue, smiling as he spoke.
With his surveillance network spread throughout Li River City, gathering information was incredibly convenient, especially when it came to the alien forces making a commotion in this world.
“Really? Dad, where?” Ji Ruxue asked promptly, taken aback.
“The city center!”
…
Li River City’s downtown.
The demonic qi in the air seemed to have no effect on the numerous zombies within the city, as they continued to wander the complex streets endlessly, just as always.
In the southeast corner of the city, on a somewhat narrow street, more than a dozen creatures with kobold-like heads were slaughtering zombies along the street at that moment.
Bang bang bang～
Amidst the splatter of flesh and blood, zombie figures were flung away and, after struggling for a moment on the ground, lay completely still.
Surrounded by many ordinary zombies, the nearby evolved zombies seemed to sense a threat, shivering all over, letting out hoarse cries as they swarmed toward the end of the street.
Yet, those kobold-like creatures paid no mind to the ordinary zombies, swiftly eliminating the zombies before them and efficiently dispatching each incoming evolved zombie.
Afterward, they directly extracted the crystal cores from the slain evolved zombies, ignoring the blood and brains stuck to them, consuming them directly, letting out excited yet unpleasant howls.
