Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Immediately following, countless magical battle energies that they originally possessed surged out wildly from their core!

Fifth, sixth, and seventh order!

The sudden surge in power within the zombie horde stunned the group of manticores.

Aren't these things the lowest-level undead creatures, only capable of biting and scratching randomly? Why do they possess battle aura and magic?

Faced with this terrifying situation, the Manticore immediately made a decision: Run!

A lion's roar might intimidate most magical beasts, but it would only attract the attention of hordes of zombies.

The eighth-rank lower-level lion king used powerful fire magic, intending to clear out the zombies in front of him and cover the escape of the other scorpion lions in his clan.

Eighth-tier magic, Flame Ring Raging Lion.

A colossal fiery lion, several times larger than the Lion King, materialized and charged towards the horde of zombies. Rings of flame around its body set the zombies ablaze.

However, as the demonic energy fluctuations appeared, the zombies reacted immediately! Countless powerful attacks, combining battle qi and magic, were launched at the fire magic.

Seeing his attacks crumble so quickly, the Lion King dared not delay and immediately turned to flee. Unexpectedly, his protective magical shield was pierced through by a black iron spear!

That was a zombie's weapon when it was alive!

These zombies will use any means necessary to infect their target. This includes the terrifying iron spear now tainted with zombie genes, which instantly seized the Lion King's consciousness.

Soon, the Flame-Maned Scorpion-Tailed Lion King, with an iron spear stuck in its vital spot, joined the ranks of the zombie siege.

Hillis has deployed zombies in various locations, including those that can fly over city walls, burrow underground, and even launch surprise attacks from the rivers that are the main water sources.

Soon, this place will become a true ghost town. And Qin He will face a terrible challenge.

Chapter 51 Treasure Hunt in the Dead City: Starting with Studying Zombies

After a night of passion, Qin He woke up early in the morning, as usual, awakened by Zhong Liuxiu's mouth-held alarm clock that said "Good morning."

Last night, his exploration of the back room with Zhong Liuxiu was indeed exhilarating, like ascending to heaven.

"You big bad guy~ Hand it over now, wake up! Inanna made beef rice bowl this morning~"

With his wife saying that, Qin He naturally couldn't indulge in the warm, cozy experience of kissing and licking in bed any longer.

As a large amount of fresh, thick cream gushed out, Zhong Liuxiu gulped it down slowly for a long time before finally managing to drink it all down.

"Honey, it seems like your flow has been getting heavier these past few days."

Zhong Liuxiu's words were not without reason. She knew exactly how much ink Qin He had inside him, having checked it with her body every day.

Her soft lips exerted all their strength, scraping and sucking Qin He's wicked thing clean. Her tender tongue swirled around the sensitive tip, striving to suck Qin He's entire member until it was shiny and new.

Just as Zhong Liuxiu was about to show a satisfied expression as she looked at the clean, large thing in front of her, Qin He's wicked thing trembled twice more and then ejaculated again.

The second wave of thick semen gave Zhong Liuxiu's soft, tender face a beautiful facial. It drenched her entire upper body, leaving it covered in marks, and her ample, continuous breasts were already soaked with thick, jelly-like semen.

"Yeah, Xiuxiu, did I scare you?"

For making this sudden shot, Qin He naturally received a few playful punches from Zhong Liuxiu.

"You're so mean! You've gotten it on your face again, haven't you?"

Despite her coquettish tone, Zhong Liuxiu still meticulously scraped away every inch of the gunshot wounds on her body.

Sending out a message every morning is indeed refreshing and invigorating. Upon arriving at his first stop in the Great Wilderness Dragon Plains, Qin He became quite interested in the Dragon Plains Dead City.

Zhong Liuxiu's talent for foreseeing treasures has a lot of room to be used here.

Of course, eating is also very important. Carrying the soft and yielding Zhong Liuxiu on his back, Qin He's hands, like those of Lushan, didn't forget to gently knead her soft and fragrant dragon tail.

The tender flesh was incredibly soft and bouncy; if it weren't for the smooth surface of the scales, Qin He would have thought he was kneading Zhong Liuxiu's pair of plump, tender fruits.

"Oh dear! You really are... Stop messing around, let's go eat first. After we eat, we'll have plenty of time to get it done for you~"

The two were being intimate when Mana suddenly sent a telepathic message to Qin He from outside.

"Lord Qin He, we've reached the vicinity of Longyuan Dead City. Something feels off here..."

Even the Snow Night Wolf King, a mid-seventh-tier monster, sensed something amiss, indicating that this dead city truly possessed its dangers. However, it wasn't a place that forbade humans and magical beasts...

Therefore, there must be another reason.

"Go on."

Following Qin He's instructions, Mana recounted the strange occurrences in the city with lingering fear.

"I smelled a very strong aura of slaughter near the city gate. There was blood everywhere around the city gate. Human blood, magical beast blood, and some... undead blood?"

Upon hearing the word "undead," Qin He's expression immediately turned serious. He had just met one such exceptionally talented individual, Lutafya, who was skilled at commanding the undead!

Until the origin of the spirit can be fully confirmed, Qin He will always consider the worst-case scenario.

If the carnage at the city gates is related to Lutafya... then what awaits within the city may be a perilous calamity of the undead.

His immediate priority was to confirm Mana's safety and whether she... had been infected.

"Mana, are those undead creatures corpse-like? Are they exactly the same as the zombies that Lutafia summoned that day?"

"Yes... I only saw them from a distance and haven't had time to confirm them yet. Lord Qin He, would you like me to dissect those corpses?"

Mana discovered that none of the corpses emitted any magical or martial energy fluctuations. They must be safe.

“Mana, listen carefully! Get away from the ground now, and don’t touch that thing. Go somewhere away from the Dead City, regroup, and then prepare to enter the Dead City.”

Qin He thought for a moment and then said:

"Wait! You're in a safe zone. Use magic or other means of attack to try and break open the heads or hearts of those zombies. But remember, don't get close!"

If these things have a core, then it will most likely be in the heart or skull.

At worst... let Mana tear the zombie apart completely at a safe distance, and then we can confirm the zombie's core weakness.

"Ok!"

From a distance, Mana first unleashed a sixth-tier magic attack, Ice Shard Slash. A cold light flashed from her claws as a powerful slashing attack surged forth.

Surprisingly, the anti-magic circuits continued to function even after the zombies stopped moving. Mana's barrage of ice blades had little effect.

"Lord Qin He, my ice blades can't cut open their skulls. Perhaps... these zombies are resistant to ice magic."

To be bold, Qin He had already made the conjecture that magic was basically ineffective against these things.

Imagine... if a zombie could somehow overcome the burning of fire magic and the purification of light magic, or have resistance to them, what a terrifying undead creature it would be?

It's likely that some of the monsters in the dead city would confidently use fire or light magic to fight against these zombies.

However, if these zombies possess resistance to this, the monsters that choose melee combat in unfavorable situations will most likely face certain death...

"Mana, this time use pure physical strength."

With the Snow Night Wolf King's unique bloodline and the divine power of its Moon-Piercing Claw, it should be able to tear that zombie to shreds from a distance with a single claw strike...

Upon receiving the order, Mana attacked once more. This time, she used pure physical strength, gathering power at the tip of her claws to unleash a slash.

Although it's far inferior to the Moon Claw, it's still enough to give many seventh-tier magical beasts a run for their money.

After the claw strike landed precisely, a small, black pearl-like sphere rolled out from the zombie's mangled head.

"Lord Qin He, there is a sphere inside the zombie's head, which looks like a core or something."

Qin He thought for a moment, then said:

"Freeze that zombie in ice, using demonic energy to ensure no trace of its presence escapes. Then put it in a spatial scale for me; I'll observe it for a while..."

"After you've done all that, cast a powerful spell into the city... Remember, if things go wrong, try to escape immediately. Don't fight those zombies."

Seeing Qin He's nervousness, Mana also felt a little panicked. The appearance of these zombies in the dead city would likely have a significant impact on their upcoming journey.

Mana used her ice magic to freeze the zombie body that had fallen from the core.

Following Qin He's instructions, Mana sealed it tightly with her demonic energy, preventing even the slightest trace of its aura from escaping.

The infection conditions of this zombie are still unknown. Qin He is afraid that if this thing enters the safe house, it will infect Inanna, Mira, and the others.

Therefore, freezing for preservation is necessary, as this substance is unlikely to be dangerous enough to spread through the air. However, a certain degree of caution is absolutely necessary.

In this situation, even a moment's relaxation could be the cause of death.

After breakfast, Inanna used the fourth-tier magical beast, the Red Wild Bull, from the snow-capped mountains near Sunset Forest. The meat was of excellent quality.

After enjoying these delicacies, comparable to a fine Western meal, Qin He went alone to the dark room where the frozen zombies were kept.

No matter how powerful the virus or other weird stuff on your zombie body is, it can't possibly poison my Nidhogg dragon body.

Other dragons aside, Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu were at least confident in facing hordes of zombies.

On the other side, Mana also followed Qin He's instructions and prepared to unleash a large-scale spell in the city.

"Whoosh... Seventh-tier ice magic, Freezing Cold Bind!"

Using the same technique she used against the Red Dragon, Mana immediately unleashed an incredibly powerful freezing ray.

As the surging ice-elemental magic energy exploded within the city, chilling breaths emanated from Mana's mouth.

This bombardment was no small matter; a wide-ranging demonic energy reaction immediately spread. Soon after, many zombies sensed this demonic energy reaction and approached—

The dark mass clearly showed no signs of magic or battle aura, so it shouldn't have been anything to be afraid of. But Mana did feel a sense of unease.

She remembered what Qin He had told her: don't fight these zombies head-on.

Then, their instinctive obedience and trust in Qin He acted even before their bodies did.

Mana unleashed her supernatural power at its maximum speed, instantly becoming at least three times faster than before!

"Lord Qin He, the freezing cold I just unleashed into the city has attracted a large number of zombies! I'm currently heading away from the dead city."

“Yes, Mana…you did a good job, I know what happened.”

Damn it, a terrifying group of zombies that can conceal their strength and aura, will prioritize gathering along with the reaction of demonic energy, and have magic resistance are spreading in that dead city.

Furthermore, these creatures should now be multiplying in that city as well.

Chapter 52 Leading the Girls Through the Zombie Horde

After tearing the zombie to shreds from head to toe, Qin He finally came to some conclusions.

First, these zombies can usually completely suppress the fluctuations of their internal demonic energy and fighting spirit.

Other creatures simply couldn't discern which of the many zombies possessed what level of power.

Correspondingly, they can also unleash the magic and fighting spirit stored within their cores, using them in conjunction with their own minions to infect and transform more zombies.

Furthermore, the reaction of the magic burst, that is, the large-scale release of magic, will attract and gather them.

Even a powerful eighth-tier magical beast, capable of killing a few zombies, will attract an endless stream of zombies once it has cast a spell.

Moreover, the zombie horde will also contain some seventh-tier or even higher beings. In the end, any monster trapped in the encirclement will surely perish.

Most importantly, as long as the core continues to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth and transform it into demonic energy and battle qi, these zombies will not need to eat.

These damned things have an extremely tiny anti-magic circuit within them, which is part of the zombie virus.

Well, this is really going to be interesting. These zombies, which are designed entirely for transformation, will probably turn all the powerful magical beasts inside the dead city into equally troublesome zombies.

I originally thought this trip would be about taking the girls to stroll through the market and explore for treasures in Longyuan Dead City.

I never expected to find myself traversing a zombie horde. This is really giving me a headache.

At this point, taking a detour is basically unrealistic. Qin He had previously learned from the young dragon Yan Liu that the red dragon tribe might have the ability to not fear a Saint-level expert.

That person wouldn't be the clan leader who's currently being held captive in a dark room and disciplined by Qin He, so they might know some Saint-level dragons.

After questioning Yan Ling, Qin He still couldn't get an answer from the stunningly beautiful mature dragon woman. All he could confirm was that she neither answered nor denied anything.

Even if they didn't know each other, the treasure could bring them together. Qin He didn't believe that such a large Red Dragon tribe couldn't produce enough dragon crystals.

If the other party really gets desperate and spends a lot of dragon crystals to hire a Saint-level dragon to deal with him, Qin He would really have a hard time dealing with it.

Although Qin He currently has the million dragon crystals funded by Celesi, plus the miscellaneous donations from the other three gods and You Jiu, it's still a considerable sum. But…

To be frank, I'm just a low-level fourth-tier dragon.

Holding such a large fortune, if one were to foolishly rush to make a deal, hoping to persuade that Saint-level dragon to defect...

Who knows, that Saint-level dragon might just turn around and kill Qin He. In the end, both fortunes would belong to it, leaving him with nothing but loss and nowhere to turn for help.

Although Dragon Plains Dead City was left in ruins, it was still the territory of a pair of peak Saint-level Silver Fire Dragons. If Qin He went inside, at least the opposing Saint-level dragons wouldn't act rashly.

Moreover, those silver fire dragons simply didn't want any other dragons of the same level to come in and pose a threat. They probably wouldn't even bother to look at a young dragon like Qin He.

As for the Saint-level dragons that the Red Dragon tribe might hire, they're just out there making some extra money; there's no need for them to go to war with peak Saint-level dragons for a commission.
