Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 468 - 479: Devouring Evolution

Chapter 468: Chapter 479: Devouring Evolution

The newly derived ability is extremely special. By manipulating Corpse Puppets to devour other living beings, once a certain number is reached, the Corpse Puppets will transform in the direction of the devoured creatures.

And during the transformation process, there is a high probability of acquiring the abilities of the devoured creatures.

Upon understanding the effects of this ability, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but feel delighted.

He had always thought that the types of Corpse Puppets under his command were too few. Now with this ability, he could create all sorts of Corpse Puppets.

“Let’s call this ability Devouring Evolution!”

After some thought, Lu Chuan named this ability.

It’s just unfortunate that this ability only works on Corpse Puppets. It would be great if it could work on himself.

Thinking about the limitations of the ability, Lu Chuan felt a bit disappointed.

However, he quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought. He was quite satisfied with his current form, which was hardly different from a human’s.

Using Devouring Evolution to turn himself into a monster would be unacceptable to him. He was sure Little Qiqi would despise him as a father then.

“This ability isn’t simple. I need to find an opportunity to test it out and see how much augmentation Devouring Evolution can bring to the Corpse Puppets.”

Lu Chuan’s gaze shifted slightly, and he was eager to try.

In his view, the best usage of Devouring Evolution is to utilize the strengths of other creatures to fill the deficiencies of Corpse Puppets, while also enhancing the original strengths of the Corpse Puppets.

For instance, Da Pang, and Er Pang, being Tank Type zombies, have robust physical builds and incredible defenses, but their speed is a clear drawback.

If Devouring Evolution could be used to devour a large number of fast creatures, endowing them with speed advantages, it would definitely be a massive enhancement to Da Pang and Er Pang’s prowess.

With this in mind, Lu Chuan was eager to give it a try.

However, seeing that the sky had already darkened, Lu Chuan decided to wait a bit longer and not rush it, opting to try it out the next day.

Because, in order to complete Devouring Evolution, the devoured must be the same type of creature, and they must also be present in certain numbers. If the number is too small, the evolution might not be completed.

As a result, the Fierce Beasts outside were not very suitable. After all, it was practically impossible for Lu Chuan to collect a batch of the same type of Fierce Beasts in a short period.

After much thought, the most suitable candidates left would be the Otherworldly Creatures.

These Otherworldly Creatures not only have sufficient power, but they are also numerous enough to meet the requirements, making them the perfect choice for Devouring Evolution.

Among these alien creatures, the Kobolds and Red-eyed Demon Snakes that appeared in the Li River City naturally became Lu Chuan’s best choices.

If all goes according to plan, the Kobolds should dispatch another team through the spatial rift tomorrow, just in time to use the Kobold bodies to experiment with the Devouring Evolution ability.

Lu Chuan’s gaze shifted slightly.

Regarding the Red-eyed Demon Snakes, Lu Chuan planned to manipulate Water Manipulation One to hunt and stockpile the Red-eyed Demon Snakes that occasionally surfaced from the underwater rift. Once a certain number is accumulated, he would experiment with Devouring Evolution the next day.

A day later.

Li River City.

The Kobolds that Lu Chuan had been waiting for finally arrived.

The spatial rift trembled, scattering spatial ripples, as shadows flickered and another group of Kobolds leaped out from the rift.

“Roar roar~”

Instantly, the bustling roar echoed from the building’s ground floor.

Upon seeing the ambush-ready Corpse Puppets, the four to five hundred Kobolds, wielding various weapons and draped in animal skins, charged at the Corpse Puppets under the leadership of several Rank Five Kobolds.

In the moment that the spatial rift vibrated, Lu Chuan, far away in the Base City, perceived it through the Corpse Puppets.

Watching these charging Kobolds, Lu Chuan smiled, hurriedly commanding the high-level Corpse Puppets to go easy on them, not to turn the Kobolds into mincemeat.

After all, these guys were the experimental materials for today, and they must not be damaged.

Under the leadership of a group of high-level Corpse Puppets, a large number of Corpse Puppets quickly overwhelmed these Kobolds.

With the strongest Kobold squad only reaching Rank Five, they were no match for the Corpse Puppets under Lu Chuan’s command, and they were slaughtered within minutes.

At the base of the building, in front of the spatial rift, Kobold corpses piled up, and the pools of blood beneath them connected to form a large blood-red patch. The thick scent of blood permeated the not very spacious underground space.

“Roar roar~”

Earlier, one type of Corpse Puppet executed Lu Chuan’s directives perfectly.

So much so, many Kobolds that had lost limbs and were covered in blood were still alive, lying in pools of blood, crying out miserably, while struggling to get closer to the spatial rift.

Alas, it was all in vain. These severely injured Kobolds had managed to move only a few meters, still ten thousand miles away from reaching the rift and making their return.

At this moment, Lu Chuan’s attention was not on these creatures, but rather on his own Corpse Puppets, selecting one for the Devouring Evolution.

Thinking about the abilities the Kobolds used recently, which seemed to mostly pertain to speed and physical constitution, Lu Chuan ultimately chose Da Pang for this Devouring Evolution.

Following this, Da Pang, who was to acquire the Kobold abilities, whether he would gain speed augmentation or constitution enhancement, his prowess was bound to leap exponentially.

Rumble~

Immediately, with a thought, Lu Chuan made Da Pang, who stood among the Corpse Puppets, step forward, heading towards the Kobold corpses littering the ground.

At the same time, Lu Chuan wielded the Devouring Evolution ability, amplifying it upon Da Pang. Instantly, a faint blood glow emanated from Da Pang’s originally pitch-black, heavy, and dark scale-armored body.

This blood glow seemed to surge from within Da Pang’s body, quickly covering him entirely and spreading towards the surroundings.

Subsequently, Da Pang slightly bent down, extending his broad hand to grab the Kobold corpses on the ground.

In an instant, four or five Kobold corpses were grasped by Da Pang, then a moment later, shoved directly into his big mouth.

Squish~

Blood splattered.

With the sound of bones cracking, the Kobold bodies were chewed and swallowed into Da Pang’s stomach.

“Roar~”

The severely injured Kobolds, witnessing this, all let out cries of terror, struggling desperately to get away.

Alas, faced with Da Pang’s stretching giant palm once more, all was in vain. Within minutes, more than a dozen Kobolds that had still been struggling were chewed and devoured alive by Da Pang.

Subsequently, Da Pang continued to devour the Kobold corpses, and in no time, a large patch of Kobolds lying on the ground ended up in Da Pang’s belly.

As more Kobolds were consumed, the blood glow emanating from Da Pang burned even brighter, dazzlingly so.
