355: Ding Teng advances

Ding Teng seemed to feel a certain restraint in his body break, and he vaguely understood that his control over zombies had at least doubled.

He opened his eyes, about to tell Brother Qin this good news, when he suddenly found that the latter had collapsed on the back of the Golden Winged Thunder Roc, his face as pale as snow.

"Brother Qin, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'll be good after a short rest," Qin Shilei replied weakly.

"My Lord, your kindness to your subordinate is something I can never repay, even if I go through fire and water," Ding Teng said, his eyes filled with gratitude and remorse.

"It's nothing, my cultivation speed will just be a little slower," Qin Shilei said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he opened the system panel and found that the other party's loyalty was still stuck at 99 points.

Damn it, is this last bit of loyalty so hard to raise?

Qin Shilei gritted his teeth, took out three pieces of Enlightenment Tea, and handed them to the other party, "Your cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Realm. Try this Enlightenment Tea and see if it can help you successfully advance to the Platinum Realm."

Ding Teng looked at the three pieces of Enlightenment Tea in his palm and slowly said, "Brother Qin, aren't you afraid that after I successfully advance to the Platinum Realm, I will break free from the contract and leave you?"

Qin Shilei smiled faintly, "I believe you won't choose to be my enemy. Moreover, you don't want Ding Wenle to be mixed in with the zombie horde with you. We both understand that he will grow healthier in Hope City."

Ding Teng knelt on one knee, "My Lord, you have won the gamble. My life, Ding Teng's life, is hereby sold to you. I will never betray you in this life and this world."

At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Qin Shilei's mind.

"Ding! The loyalty of the Contract Spirit Ding Teng has reached its maximum value and will never betray you."

Phew, the last bit of loyalty is finally full.

Although 99 points of loyalty means almost no betrayal.

But Ding Teng is the Zombie Emperor, and his strength is formidable. He cannot always be kept in the pet space like the Glutton.

Once he goes berserk and harms the people in Hope City, it would be too late for regrets.

That's why Qin Shilei had always accompanied him to expel zombies and sought ways to increase that last bit of loyalty.

As the Zombie Emperor, Ding Teng's pursuit of strength was no less than that of an evolver.

He impatiently flew down to boil water, brewed the Enlightenment Tea, and immediately found a room to attempt a breakthrough.

Two hours later, the effect of one piece of Enlightenment Tea disappeared. Although Ding Teng's strength increased a little, he failed to advance successfully.

Even after drinking all three pieces of Enlightenment Tea, Ding Teng still couldn't break through that barrier.

"My Lord, your subordinate has disappointed you and wasted three precious pieces of Enlightenment Tea for nothing."

Ding Teng said with some self-reproach.

"It's fine."

Qin Shilei pondered for a moment, then took out the Purple Armor Bug's corpse he had been collecting and one piece of Enlightenment Tea.

"As the Zombie Emperor, if you have ample flesh and blood, it should be easier for you to advance. Coupled with the last piece of Enlightenment Tea I have left, it should greatly increase your success rate of advancement."

"My Lord, your subordinate will not fail your expectations this time."

Given by his master, Ding Teng did not decline in the slightest, but his tone was filled with gratitude.

Ding Teng bit into the neck of the Purple Armor Bug's corpse.

The Purple Armor Bug's body slowly contracted.

Half an hour later, the four to five-meter-tall Purple Armor Bug was left with only a skeleton and carapace; all its essence had been completely absorbed by Ding Teng.

Qin Shilei handed over the brewed Enlightenment Tea.

Ding Teng took it, drank it in one gulp, then sat down cross-legged again, attempting to break through.

As time passed, the aura around him grew stronger and stronger.

Boom!

An invisible wave suddenly erupted from Ding Teng, violently overturning the small building they were in.

Fortunately, Qin Shilei had instantly teleported out when the wave arrived, so he wasn't covered in dust from the exploding building.

"Roar!"

In the center of the ruined building, Ding Teng raised his head and roared.

The sound waves rolled out for hundreds of kilometers.

Under the Deterrence of this sound, both zombies and exotic beasts collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.

The true Zombie Emperor was finally born!

Qin Shilei glanced at the system panel. Ding Teng's cultivation had indeed reached Platinum One-Star, and his loyalty was still fixed at a full 100 points.

It was time to refresh the remaining four entries for him.

[Do you want to refresh the entries?]

[Refresh.]

Daddy (Blue): Has a unique understanding of raising children.

Bloodthirsty (Red): The desire for bloodlust within the body is completely released, and the speed of increasing strength after absorbing blood is ten times faster. (Note: As the Zombie Emperor, he inherently possesses the ability to increase strength by absorbing blood.)

Yin Creates Yang (Orange): The Zombie Emperor is originally an extremely yin and evil being, but yin alone cannot grow. When yin reaches its extreme, a cluster of yang will be born, greatly increasing resistance to the most rigid and yang heavenly lightning. (Note: The Zombie Emperor can only successfully advance to the Diamond Realm by comprehending the yang within it.)

Holy crap!

He actually got an orange entry on his Contract Spirit.

Qin Shilei could only comfort himself, "What the Contract Spirit possesses is what I possess. If the Contract Spirit is strong, it means I am strong."

After fixing Yin Creates Yang, he then refreshed and fixed the remaining three entries on him.

Extreme Speed (Red): The Zombie Emperor's flying speed is increased by thirty percent.

Defense Doubled (Purple): Physical and elemental defenses are doubled.

Zombie Emperor Seed (Purple): Can plant a Zombie Emperor Seed in other zombies, having an effect similar to a clone. Currently, only one Zombie Emperor Seed can be planted at most.

Just as Qin Shilei was about to have Ding Teng test out this Zombie Emperor Seed, the Telepathic Talisman in his arms suddenly vibrated slightly.

He took out the talisman and activated it, and Kong Qingshu's voice immediately came out from within.

"Husband, a huge zombie tide has been discovered 200 kilometers south of Junhai City. It is expected to reach Junhai City in five or six hours. Do you and Brother Ding want to come back and take a look?"

"Okay, we'll go there immediately. We should reach Junhai City in about half an hour."

Qin Shilei immediately summoned the Golden Winged Thunder Roc and Ding Teng and rushed towards Junhai City.

.......

Junhai City, City Lord's Mansion.

Lin Hetai asked anxiously, "City Lord, what did Qin An King say? Did he say when he would come?"

Kong Qingshu glanced at him and said indifferently, "Why are you panicking? Even if my husband doesn't come, can't we deal with a mere zombie tide?"

"Uh," Lin Hetai chuckled dryly, "With you, City Lord, a peerless master, in charge, we certainly don't need to be afraid. It's just that this zombie tide is really too big this time, and we're just afraid of any unexpected situations."

"My husband will arrive here in about half an hour."

Kong Qingshu stood up from her chair and said with a heroic expression, "Let's go, we'll take charge on the city wall."
