136: Chapter 136 Promise me one thing

At dusk.

Lin Yuan came alone to the depths of the ruins in the East District of Jiangcheng.

This place was eight hundred kilometers away from Bai Xingli's villa area.

Lin Yuan specifically chose this distance because, according to his analysis, the threat range of the Snow Egg King was terrifying.

Keeping a distance of at least three hundred kilometers was necessary to be safe.

And a distance of over one thousand kilometers was already enough to ensure safety for the current Shelter.

But now, this area had become the territory of the snow egg forces.

Several kilometers around were covered in white mycelial mats.

The air was filled with a pungent, foul stench that made one nauseous.

One could see the terrifying speed of the snow egg's expansion!

"Tsk, this smell is really overpowering."

Lin Yuan covered his nose and continued moving forward.

His purpose was simple.

To test his new Superpower, the Nether Emperor Corpse Control Technique.

And this area happened to have a large number of Snow Beasts corpses.

A perfect testing ground.

Lin Yuan's Spiritual Power swept across the surroundings.

Soon, he discovered a large number of traces of Snow Beasts activity.

"They're here."

His eyes narrowed, and his figure flashed, disappearing from where he stood.

The next second.

A four-meter-long B-rank Snow Beast Soldier Ant lunged out from the ruins!

Its compound eyes flashed with bloodthirsty red light, and foul-smelling saliva dripped from its serrated mandibles.

"Hiss—!"

The Snow Beast Soldier Ant let out a sharp hiss and lunged toward Lin Yuan's position!

But...

It lunged into empty air.

Lin Yuan had already appeared behind it.

"Too slow."

Lin Yuan said calmly, lightning flashing in his hand.

"Crackle—!"

A bolt of lightning pierced directly through the Snow Beast Soldier Ant's skull!

The Snow Beast Soldier Ant fell to the ground with a crash before it could even let out a scream.

"One."

Lin Yuan continued to move forward.

The next ten minutes were simply a one-sided slaughter.

B-rank Snow Beasts were as brittle as paper in front of Lin Yuan.

Ten... twenty... fifty...

Soon, the area in front of Lin Yuan was piled high with the corpses of B-rank Snow Beasts.

The number reached a full 130!

"That's enough B-rank ones; it's time to find A-rank ones."

Lin Yuan looked toward the depths of the ruins.

There, there was a more powerful aura.

His figure flashed as he flew on his sword.

The green bamboo bee cloud sword carried him, rushing straight to the Core Zone of the ruins.

The closer he got to the core, the stronger the pressure in the air became.

Lin Yuan could clearly feel a terrifying aura sleeping ahead.

That was... the Snow Egg King!

"Interesting."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes: "This aura is at least at the peak of A-rank."

He did not continue to go deeper.

It wasn't fear, but there was no need to take risks.

The Snow Egg King was still in its developmental stage and would not move for the time being.

But if he got too close, he might wake it up.

More importantly, Lin Yuan knew well the terrifying threat range of the Snow Egg King.

Once this monster fully hatched, its attack range would cover a radius of three hundred kilometers!

Any creature within this range would face a catastrophe.

This was also the reason why he chose the villa area eight hundred kilometers away.

An absolutely safe distance.

Lin Yuan didn't want to go head-to-head with it yet!

That would be counterproductive.

"Forget it, let's hunt A-rank Snow Beasts on the periphery first."

Lin Yuan changed direction and searched the periphery of the Core Zone.

Soon, he found his target.

A ten-meter-long A-Rank Snow Beast Guard!

Its body was covered in thick ice crystal scales, and its compound eyes flashed with deep blue light, full of killing intent.

This was not an ordinary Snow Beast.

This was a powerful elite existence!

"Hiss—!"

The A-Rank Snow Beast Guard discovered Lin Yuan and immediately entered combat mode.

Its six thick, tree-trunk-like legs exerted force, and every step made the ground tremble!

The next second, it attacked from behind Lin Yuan!

"A petty trick."

Lin Yuan didn't even turn his head, striking back with a bolt of lightning!

"Crackle—!"

The lightning accurately hit the A-Rank Snow Beast Guard, piercing through its ice crystal scales!

The A-Rank Snow Beast Guard let out a scream, its body stiffening.

Lin Yuan took the opportunity to close in and slashed down with his sword!

"Swish—!"

The head of the A-Rank Snow Beast Guard flew off.

Blood sprayed, and the corpse fell to the ground with a crash.

"One A-rank, obtained."

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

For the rest of the time, Lin Yuan was like the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

He crazily hunted A-Rank Snow Beast Guards on the periphery of the Core Zone.

These A-Rank Snow Beast Guards were all subordinates of the Snow Egg King.

They were originally responsible for guarding the periphery and seizing resources.

But now, they had all become Lin Yuan's prey.

Five... ten... twenty...

In the end, there were a full 30 corpses of A-Rank Snow Beast Guards piled up in front of Lin Yuan!

Adding the previous 130 B-rank ones, and countless C-rank ones...

This time's harvest was simply terrifying!

"That's enough; it's time to try the Nether Emperor Corpse Control Technique."

A deep black light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He stretched out his hands, and black energy surged from his palms.

In an instant, countless black shadows emerged from behind Lin Yuan!

They extended like tentacles, connecting to the 30 corpses of the A-Rank Snow Beast Guards!

"Rise!"

Lin Yuan gave a low shout.

"Click, click, click—"

Those A-Rank Snow Beast Guards that had already died actually started to move!

In their eyes, eerie blue flames ignited!

That was the light of death!

One... two... thirty!

30 A-Rank Snow Beast Guard puppets all stood up!

They knelt on one knee in unison, saluting Lin Yuan!

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

This was the power of the Nether Emperor Corpse Control Technique!

Not only could it control corpses, but it could also allow them to retain part of their combat instincts from when they were alive!

They could even speak!

"Very good."

Lin Yuan looked around at these 30 A-Rank Snow Beast Guard puppets: "From today on, you are my Undead Legion!"

"Yes! Master!"

The thirty puppets answered in unison.

This scene was absolutely shocking to the extreme!

Just at this moment.

Boom—!

A terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the ruins' core!

That was... the Snow Egg King's fury!

It sensed it!

It sensed that its subordinates had been killed and controlled!

"Roar, roar, roar, roar—!!!"

A deafening roar resounded throughout the entire ruins!

Within a radius of ten kilometers, all creatures were trembling!

That was the pressure from a higher life form!

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked toward the depths of the core.

He could feel a terrifying spiritual fluctuation sweeping toward him!

That was the will of the Snow Egg King!

It was warning Lin Yuan!

Warning him not to get any closer!

Otherwise, he would die!

But...

Lin Yuan just smiled coldly.

"Warning me?"

He fearlessly released his own Spiritual Power to confront the Snow Egg King!

"Boom—!"

Two terrifying Spiritual Powers collided in the air!

The void was even distorting!

The Snow Egg King was furious!

This tiny human dared to provoke it!

It wanted nothing more than to rush out immediately and tear Lin Yuan to pieces!

But...

It couldn't.

It was still in its developmental stage.

If it went out now, it would affect its evolution!

This was not what it wanted; it still had to deal with things that would appear later!

Damn it!

Damn it!!

The Snow Egg King could only endure for now.

It swore that when it fully hatched, the first one it would kill would be this human!

Lin Yuan felt the Snow Egg King's fury and helplessness, and a provocative smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Yo, angry?"

"Too bad, you can't come out."

He deliberately released another wave of Spiritual Power to provoke the Snow Egg King.

"Roar, roar, roar—!!"

The Snow Egg King was even more furious!

But it could only roar, unable to take action!

Lin Yuan laughed out loud: "When you come out, I'll come to meet you again!"

"At that time, I will make you realize who is the real boss!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

The 30 A-Rank Snow Beast Guard puppets followed closely behind.

This scene was simply overwhelmingly domineering!

...

Villa area.

When Lin Yuan returned with the 30 A-Rank Snow Beast Guard puppets, all the female leads were shocked.

"My god... this... this is..."

Su Yuyan widened her eyes, looking at those 30 A-Rank Snow Beast Guard puppets exuding a terrifying aura.

Each one was A-rank!

30 A-rank ones, what kind of concept is this?!

This was simply an invincible legion!

"Big brother Lin Yuan is so amazing!"

Ye Qingyue jumped up in excitement:

"Are these all your puppets?!"

"Yes."

Lin Yuan nodded, his tone relaxed: "The effect of the Nether Emperor Corpse Control Technique is not bad."

Not bad?

All the female leads complained in their hearts.

This is more than just not bad!

This is simply heaven-defying, okay!

30 A-Rank Snow Beast Guard puppets!

Looking at the whole of Jiangcheng, or even the whole of China, who could do this?!

Only Lin Yuan!

Su Yuyan's eyes looking at Lin Yuan changed from shock to admiration, and then to a hint of infatuation.

This was the man she chose!

She walked forward, her eyes full of tenderness.

Lin Yuan smiled: "This is just the beginning."

"The Snow Egg King is still developing; when it fully hatches, that will be our big battle."

"What's more terrifying is that once it hatches, its attack range will cover a radius of three hundred kilometers. Although our current position is eight hundred kilometers away and relatively safe, the entire Jiangcheng will fall into danger."

"So, everyone needs to hurry up and get stronger."

All the female leads nodded vigorously.

They all felt the pressure.

The Snow Egg King, that was an existence that even Lin Yuan didn't dare to go deep into!

Its threat could definitely not be underestimated!

"Yuyan, come with me for a moment."

Lin Yuan said to Su Yuyan.

"Yes."

Su Yuyan followed Lin Yuan to the study.

Inside the study.

Lin Yuan spread out a map and pointed to a certain location: "The Snow Egg King is here."

"It is still in its developmental stage and will probably need another month to fully hatch."

"During this time, we need to be prepared."

Su Yuyan nodded seriously: "I understand, I will strengthen the defense of the Shelter."

"Not just defense."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "We also need intelligence."

"The more detailed the intelligence about the Snow Egg King, the better."

He paused and continued:

"I plan to find someone to help."

"Who?"

Su Yuyan asked curiously.

"Luo Qinghan."

A deep meaning flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes: "That woman is very mysterious and should know many secrets."

Su Yuyan suddenly realized.

Luo Qinghan!

That mysterious, indifferent woman!

Indeed, many of her actions were strange.

If it were her...

Perhaps her understanding of the snow egg might indeed be very deep!

"Then should I go call her now?"

"Yes, go ahead."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Ten minutes later.

Luo Qinghan came to the study.

She was as indifferent as ever, with no ripples in her eyes.

"You wanted to see me?"

"Yes."

Lin Yuan got straight to the point: "I need your understanding of the Snow Egg King."

"All intelligence, the more detailed, the better."

Luo Qinghan's eyes moved slightly.

She looked at Lin Yuan, and a faint smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

"You know quite a lot."

"I do have some understanding of the snow egg."

"But, why do you think I would tell you?"

Lin Yuan smiled: "Because if the Snow Egg King hatches, the first to suffer will be Jiangcheng."

"And you are also in Jiangcheng."

Luo Qinghan was silent.

Indeed.

The threat of the Snow Egg King is the same for everyone.

Including her.

"Fine."

Luo Qinghan sat down in the chair: "I can tell you."

"But, you also have to promise me one condition."

"What condition?"

"If you kill the Snow Egg King, its core must be given to me."

Luo Qinghan's eyes were serious:

"That thing is very important to me."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and nodded:

"Okay!"

Anyway, he didn't know what the core of the Snow Egg King was for.

Since Luo Qinghan wanted it, he would give it to her.

The current snow egg was too much of a threat to Lin Yuan!

And the safest way was to get information out of a Reborn Person like Luo Qinghan, which was the most reliable!

"Then, tell me the intelligence about the Snow Egg King."

Lin Yuan sat opposite her and listened carefully.

Luo Qinghan spoke slowly:

"The Snow Egg King is a special existence of the Zerg..."
