Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 531 542: Arrival at the Island!

After slaying the giant purple octopus, Lu Chuan did not linger and turned back.

When Lu Chuan returned, he found that Ji Ruxue had already completed crafting the three sets of Flood Dragon Armor.

At this moment, Zhao Lin was clad in a jet-black suit of Flood Dragon Armor, strutting back and forth on the turtle's back, her face beaming with joy.

The Flood Dragon Armor had the overall appearance of black jade, and the Flood Dragon Scale Armor had perfectly fused together during the crafting process.

The Flood Dragon Armor was composed of various components such as shoulder armor and arm armor, almost perfectly protecting the wearer, with only the head lacking much protection.

"Lu Chuan, check out the armor that Qiqi crafted. Doesn't it look cool?"

Seeing Lu Chuan return, Zhao Lin spread her arms, twirled around, and asked with a smile.

"Not bad!"

Hearing this, Lu Chuan landed on the turtle's back, glanced at the protective coverage of the Flood Dragon Armor, and nodded at Zhao Lin.

"Dad, this is yours!"

At this moment, Ji Ruxue, standing nearby, pushed one of the two floating sets of Flood Dragon Armor toward Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan reached out to take it, and as soon as he summoned the Spiritual Essence in his body, the Flood Dragon Armor, as a Spiritual Soldier, quickly split apart and assembled onto Lu Chuan's body.

The next instant, Lu Chuan was fully encased in the Flood Dragon Armor, exuding an imposing aura clad in black armor.

Lu Chuan lifted the Sea-Breaking Blade in his hand and tapped it against the armor on his chest.

Clang clang clang~

The sound of metal clashing resonated instantly.

Though he hadn't used much force, considering they were both Spiritual Soldiers, the difference shouldn't be significant, and it'd likely not be easy for his Sea-Breaking Blade to break through the Flood Dragon Armor's defense.

It must be said, this eighth-tier Flood Dragon indeed did a good deed—not only did it come to die, but it also ended up providing them with four pieces of Spiritual Soldiers.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"Alright, since the Spiritual Soldiers have been crafted, let's continue our journey!"

Seeing Ji Ruxue also don her own piece of Flood Dragon Armor, Lu Chuan nodded, ready to set off once again.

A few minutes later, Lu Chuan and the others, along with a large number of Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, pressed on toward the Ruins Island where the Ancient Ruins resided.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Along the journey, Lu Chuan and his companions encountered countless Sea Beasts. Slaughter was constant, as they fought their way through.

Particularly, as they ventured deeper, they encountered more diverse groups of Sea Beasts, and naturally, Lu Chuan and the others mainly focused on slaying these attacking Sea Beast swarms.

In the end, the number of Sea Beasts that perished at their hands was at least five hundred thousand, if not a million, truly resulting in rivers of blood.

Of course, this inadvertently caused Lu Chuan's Sea Beast Corpse Puppets to absorb a vast amount of Sea Beast blood and flesh, nourishing them with surging energy. Many sixth-tier Sea Beast Corpse Puppets thus broke through to seventh-tier, their bodies expanding several times in size.

As for the original fifth-tier Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, they were massively promoted to sixth-tier, making it hard to find any fifth-tier Sea Beast Corpse Puppets within the entire army.

This transformation directly elevated the overall power of Lu Chuan's Sea Beast Corpse Puppet army by a whole level.

That said, strong eighth-tier Sea Beasts weren't uncommon in their encounters; however, such Sea Beasts, even in these boundless seas, were rare and hard to come by.

From the start until now, Lu Chuan had only slain two eighth-tier Sea Beasts: one being a giant shark, its size no less compared to the Fierce Flood Dragon before, resembling an enormous battleship at sea.

The other eighth-tier Sea Beast was a tough-skinned giant shrimp, with massive pincers.

With the Sea-Breaking Blade in hand, these beings that once ruled the seas offered no resistance whatsoever.

On the ocean, the waves remained turbulent, and the sea appeared ever deeper.

On the turtle's back.

"Qiqi, how long before we reach Ruins Island?"

Lu Chuan glanced up at the scorching sun and the endless golden sea surface ahead, furrowing his brows, and inquired to Ji Ruxue, who was meditating nearby.

"Dad, we should arrive in about one to two hours."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue did a quick calculation in her heart and responded.

Hearing this reply, Lu Chuan felt a surge of excitement—one to two hours meant Ruins Island was just ahead.

"Finally, we're almost there!" Lu Chuan let out a deep breath; the extended travel had been stifling.

At this time, Zhao Lin, who had been focusing on training with energy potions, also woke up after the potion's effect wore off.

Upon hearing Ji Ruxue's words, Zhao Lin, too, felt overjoyed, as the journey had been taxing.

At first, the vast seascape was intriguing; however, over time, facing the monotonous scenery led to a certain degree of dullness.

Hence, Zhao Lin had immersed herself entirely in training during this period.

Time ticked by, and soon an hour and a half passed.

"Look, is that the island? We've arrived!"

Eagerly watching from the turtle's back, Zhao Lin exuberantly pointed at a dark shadow suddenly appearing on the sea surface ahead.

In response, Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue simultaneously shifted their gazes forward.

Indeed, a massive island loomed like a slumbering ancient beast on the distant sea surface.

Lu Chuan then turned his eyes to Ji Ruxue.

"Yes, this is the place."

Ji Ruxue nodded.

The Ruins Island was not only massive in area but also shrouded in a distinctive speculative halo above it, visible from afar, characterized by its distinct features.

Receiving confirmation, Lu Chuan immediately directed the Sea Beast Corpse Puppet army to swiftly approach the distant Ruins Island.

As they got closer, the Ruins Island began unveiling its mysterious veil to Lu Chuan.

This island was astonishingly large, with coastlines stretching endlessly in both directions.

The island's vegetation appeared exceedingly dense—aside from a green forest, nothing else was visible.

Apart from these, numerous Sea Beasts inhabited around the Ruins Island, occasionally coming ashore only to quickly retreat back to the sea.

And along the shore where Lu Chuan was headed, a massive group of giant stone crabs resided.

These stone crabs clustered together densely in alarming numbers, basking in the sun on the beach.

Yet, the approach of Lu Chuan's group, along with the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, evidently startled these giant stone crabs.

"Hiss hiss~~"

With a screeching hiss, the swarm of giant stone crabs moved instantly, converging together like a black torrent charging at Lu Chuan and the unexpected guests.

Seeing the oncoming flood of giant stone crabs, the three of them, Lu Chuan included, didn't hesitate, unleashing their full power.
