Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 527 - 538: Flood Dragon!

Chapter 527: Chapter 538: Flood Dragon!

“The level-six Mermaid Pearls are all here. Don’t rush, let me try them first.”

Seeing Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin about to reach for the Mermaid Pearls, Lu Chuan immediately stopped them. To prevent any accidents, he decided to try them himself first.

After all, he had ten Corpse Puppets to help absorb any damage. Even if there was an issue, he had them to assist him, so there should be no problem.

Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin exchanged glances and tactfully withdrew their hands, then focused their attention on Lu Chuan.

Though Ji Ruxue knew the effect of the Mermaid Pearls, she had only heard about them in her previous life and had never tried them herself. Whether there were other implications remained unknown.

At this moment, Lu Chuan activated the Corpse King’s Power, wielding a stream of water to lift a level-six Mermaid Pearl from the pouch, holding it in his hand.

This Mermaid Pearl was only the size of a pigeon egg, its entire body blue like a crystal ball. After the stream washed away surface dirt and bloodstains, its exterior appeared quite lustrous and smooth.

Looking at the Mermaid Pearl in his hand, Lu Chuan raised it and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the Mermaid Pearl entered, it transformed into a refreshing stream of air that rapidly circulated through his body. Lu Chuan felt his body lighten instantly, as if sweeping away years of dust, gaining a newfound closeness to the surrounding environment.

However, once the cool stream inside him vanished completely, Lu Chuan did not gain the ability to control ocean waves or breathe freely in the sea.

Realizing this was due to having consumed an insufficient number of Mermaid Pearls, Lu Chuan once again used the water stream to retrieve several more Pearls from the pouch, cleaned them, and consumed them successively.

Immediately, the Mermaid Pearls transformed into a cold stream, coursing through his body.

After consuming nearly thirty Mermaid Pearls, Lu Chuan finally acquired the corresponding abilities.

After consuming the last Pearl in hand, Lu Chuan slowly closed his eyes to sense his surroundings. A few seconds later, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted.

At this moment, he could distinctly feel the sea’s call to him, as if establishing a connection, while the ocean waves surrounding him conveyed a sense of kinship.

Clearly, the powers granted by the Mermaid Pearls were taking effect.

“You two wait here while I experiment a bit… ”

Wanting to test the effects, Lu Chuan advised the two before jumping off the turtle’s back into the ocean.

Lu Chuan’s body seemed destined to crash into the ocean and sink, but at that instant, he stably floated atop the sea.

The ocean waves beneath seemed like solid ground, continuously supporting Lu Chuan.

Satisfied, Lu Chuan focused his mind, instantly gathering the ocean waves below and around him, swiftly propelling himself forward on the water’s surface.

“Great, the power to control the waves is incredible!”

Feeling the wind rushing past him, Lu Chuan laughed out loud excitedly, realizing his speed surpassed ordinary Sea Beasts.

Under Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin’s gaze, Lu Chuan circled around the Mutated Giant Turtle a few times before stopping.

Plunk~

Remembering he hadn’t tested the free-breathing ability, Lu Chuan dove headfirst into the ocean.

Underwater, Lu Chuan noticed his speed slowed significantly due to the water’s resistance despite having the ocean wave control ability.

However, Lu Chuan verified that the underwater breathing ability was effective, spending nearly fifteen minutes under the sea with little difference compared to above.

Boom!

After completing his test, Lu Chuan shot out from underwater, stepping onto high waves, flipping back to the turtle’s back.

Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin had been waiting for quite a while.

“Daddy, you’re finally back!”

“Qiqi, Zhao Lin, the Mermaid Pearls work perfectly with no side effects, feel free to consume them!”

Facing the two, Lu Chuan smiled reassuringly.

“Okay!”

Eagerly, the two echoed in unison and began swallowing the Mermaid Pearls, while Lu Chuan responsibly cleaned them for both.

Not long after, once each consumed over thirty Mermaid Pearls, Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin both gained the ability to control ocean waves and breathe freely underwater.

After accomplishing this, the battlefield ahead was cleared, and under Lu Chuan’s command, the troupe set off immediately.

This time, not riding the Mutated Giant Turtle allowed it to maintain a steady speed without accommodating the three, enhancing the march speed significantly.

Especially for Lu Chuan, Ji Ruxue, and Zhao Lin.

With wave power, moving like rockets, they quickly advanced as the vanguard of the troupe.

Progressing forward, the ocean waves remained tumultuous, persistently crashing, resonating with earth-shaking sounds.

Yet, to the trio who could master the waves, these towering waves passed by like everyday breezes without causing harm.

Leading the Corpse Puppet army, within a huge wave pushing forward.

“Qiqi, how far are we from the Ancient Ruins now?”

Watching the persistent seascape ahead, Zhao Lin turned, impatiently asking.

“Mrs. Zhao Lin, there’s still some distance. If you feel bored, you can rest back on the turtle’s back.” Ji Ruxue calculated inwardly, explaining somewhat helplessly.

“Forget it.”

Eventually, Zhao Lin shook her head.

“Daddy, beware! An eighth-level Fierce Beast is quickly approaching us.”

Unexpectedly, Ji Ruxue sensed something, her expression changing, loudly warning Lu Chuan.

On hearing this, Lu Chuan tensed, promptly scanning the ocean ahead, remaining on guard.

Zhao Lin beside him was startled. Facing an eighth-level Fierce Beast would likely spell doom for her. Nonetheless, she stood firm, preparing for battle.

Boom!

As Ji Ruxue’s words fell, a massive water column soared skyward from the ocean ahead, splattering water with an intimidating force, sending rolling waves sweeping in all directions.

“Roar~”

Following a deafening roar, a colossal figure, accompanying the water column, leaped into the sky, swinging its body, baring fangs and claws, radiating a menacing aura.

A terrifying eighth-level Fierce Flood Dragon!
