357: Forbidden Zone Lingquan City

The Zombie King, prostrate on the ground, couldn't understand why the Zombie Emperor, who was countless times stronger than himself, would be the master of this hateful human.

It was merely the Deterrence of rank from Ding Teng that forced her to kneel before a human.

Qin Shilei joked, "Brother Ding, I see this female Zombie King is exceptionally beautiful. Have you considered taking a concubine or something?"

Ding Teng glanced at the female zombie on the ground, stroked his chin, and said, "It's all up to Master's arrangements."

.........

Qin Shilei was instantly speechless.

He thought to himself, "Can a zombie's body even marry?"

He suppressed the urge to ask the question in his heart and laughed again, "Then should we set up a few tables to celebrate Brother Ding's second spring?"

Ding Teng said coldly, "That's not necessary."

With that, he condensed a Zombie Emperor Seed and directly planted it into the female Zombie King's body.

Qin Shilei was stunned by this action again.

Planting a Zombie Emperor Seed was equivalent to creating a clone of oneself.

Was Ding Teng going to play with himself?

This middle-aged man was truly too playful.

Qin Shilei took out a pet bag and handed it directly to the other party, "Brother Ding, take this pet bag."

Perhaps because he had become a contract spirit, Ding Teng could now use most equipment, and the pet bag was, of course, no exception.

Even for Glutton, Qin Shilei gave him a spatial ring filled with various meats.

Ding Teng took the pet bag and immediately collected the high-level zombies nearby.

The female zombie named Zhuang Xiaofu followed closely behind Ding Teng.

Ding Teng asked with a headache, "Brother Qin, how should we deal with these zombies? Do we have to travel two thousand miles again and throw them back to the southwestern border?"

Qin Shilei also had a headache about this.

To the east or south was the vast ocean, and to the north and west, the journey was too far.

He pondered for a moment and replied, "With you and Zhuang Xiaofu, the number of controllable zombies is almost forty to fifty million. Go directly north and get them all into the Great Grassland. Those places are desolate and uninhabited, perfect for establishing your zombie empire.

Of course, it would be more suitable to expel the zombies near the western border to the west."

Ding Teng had no objection and immediately commanded the zombie army to start moving north.

Now that his loyalty had reached its maximum, Qin Shilei confidently let him drive away the zombies within the territory alone, while he took Glutton to assist everyone in clearing out the bugs within the territory.

Soon, another month passed.

Hope City, Qin An Royal Mansion, backyard.

Zhang Xiaoli took down a half-human-tall transparent ice crystal from the willow tree.

This ice crystal was precisely the ice source stone, and after a month of absorbing external spiritual energy, it finally recovered to its half-human-tall size again.

Yang Liu was the mutated willow tree that Zhang Xiaoli had once subdued.

Under the feeding of a massive amount of bug corpses, Yang Liu also successfully advanced to Golden One Star.

On one accidental occasion, Qin Shilei discovered that by placing the ice source stone on Yang Liu, not only would it not secretly absorb the ice source stone's spiritual energy, but it could also accelerate the ice source stone's recovery speed.

He then left the ice source stone directly on the willow tree.

After Yang Liu completely wrapped the ice source stone with its willow branches, outsiders would not know that there was such a precious ice source stone on the tree.

This way, he could rest assured that the ice source stone could be left outside to absorb spiritual energy and recover to a full state.

After Qin Shilei took the ice source stone, he immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb the spiritual energy within it.

When the ice source stone shrank back to the size of a fist, Qin Shilei's cultivation had successfully advanced to Golden Six Star.

He then put the ice source stone back on the willow tree and hid it well.

The two walked hand in hand back to the front hall.

As soon as they sat down, Zhang Cheng also walked in from outside.

"Dad, you look so worried. Has a large number of bugs been discovered somewhere again, requiring Brother Qin to solve them?"

Zhang Xiaoli poured a cup of tea for her father and asked.

Zhang Cheng quickly drank the entire cup of tea and then slowly said, "Most of the dense bugs and zombies in the country have already been dealt with.

I'm a little worried now about how we'll earn crystals to upgrade if we can't find bugs and zombies to kill in the future."

Qin Shilei smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to worry about that. The scattered bugs and zombies in the country are at least enough for everyone to kill for another one or two months.

The Golden Beasts in the forest are even more numerous, but hunting the Golden Beasts hidden in the forest is not an easy task.

Regarding this, I already have a plan. At an appropriate time, I will let the Golden Beasts from the other side of the Space Rift release a small number of bugs."

Zhang Xiaoli said with even more longing, "Actually, what I hope for even more is to lead everyone to rush into the other world and kill those bugs until they're utterly defeated."

"Haha!" Qin Shilei echoed, "That day will come."

Zhang Cheng then said, "What I came to say today is another matter. Thousands of people from our Qin An Royal Mansion have disappeared in batches near Lingquan City. Should we investigate there?"

Qin Shilei frowned and said, "Didn't I already designate Lingquan City as a forbidden zone? Why are people still going there and disappearing?"

Zhang Cheng replied, "They didn't disappear in Lingquan City. The first group of missing people was two hundred kilometers away from Lingquan City, and the last group of missing people was even five hundred kilometers away from Lingquan City.

Originally, we just thought these people were killed by Golden Beasts, but after the intelligence personnel summarized the information, they felt it was all related to Lingquan City, so I came to talk to you about it."

Qin Shilei pondered for a moment and replied, "Then I will go to Lingquan City to take a look."

From the demon he encountered in Lingquan City last time, he understood that there must be a Space Rift leading to the Abyss World near or directly in Lingquan City.

Thinking that a projected clone of an Abyss Lord had almost kept him in Lingquan City forever, Qin Shilei had not only not gone to Lingquan City again to investigate the Space Rift during this period but had also set Lingquan City as a forbidden zone.

He didn't expect that people were still disappearing nearby.

Now this forbidden zone was getting bigger and bigger, so he had to go and investigate.

Zhang Xiaoli asked, "Qin Dage, let me go with you."

Qin Shilei shook his head, "You should stay in Hope City. Lingquan City is too dangerous. I'll go alone. Don't worry, your husband will be fine."

Zhang Xiaoli thought of the danger of her husband's trip and, for a moment, no longer cared that her father was nearby. She stepped forward and hugged Qin Shilei, whispering, "Qin Dage, you must be careful and come back safely."

Qin Shilei patted her back and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

After a brief conversation, Qin Shilei mounted the Golden Winged Thunder Roc and flew towards Lingquan City.

In less than an hour, the extremely fast Golden Winged Thunder Roc had already arrived at a city hundreds of kilometers from Lingquan City.

This city also had tall city walls protecting it.

To gather information, Qin Shilei flew directly into the city.

He didn't notice that the three large characters "Litian City" were written above the city gate.
