Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 533 544: Seeds!

Rumble rumble～

In an instant, the surrounding ring of Sea Beast Corpse Puppets was swept to the ground, some even rolling out over ten meters.

"Roar hiss hiss～"

Subsequently, the Tree-man let out a hearty laugh. This seventh-tier Tree-man began moving its roots and waving its branches, relying on its massive size to charge recklessly through the army of Sea Beast Corpse Puppets.

"Hmph!"

Lu Chuan naturally wouldn't allow this Tree-man to be arrogant in his presence. He snorted coldly and immediately commanded the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets around the Tree-man to attack.

It's just a seventh-tier, even if it has size advantage, it can't withstand a gang assault.

"Roar roar～"

The Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, upon receiving the command, instantly turned violent, baring their fangs and claws as they charged toward the Tree-man.

Boom!

Faced with the surrounding Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, the Tree-man was unwilling to let them get close, constantly swinging its branches to sweep the oncoming Sea Beast Corpse Puppets away.

Unfortunately, there were just too many Sea Beast Corpse Puppets trying to charge in, and the Tree-man simply couldn't handle them all. Soon, the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets broke through its defense.

At this point, even if the Tree-man managed to sweep away a Sea Beast Corpse Puppet, it was too late, as other Sea Beast Corpse Puppets had already taken the opportunity to close in.

Suddenly, a large number of Sea Beast Corpse Puppets began to attack the Tree-man.

Some Sea Beast Corpse Puppets opened their big mouths and started gnawing at the Tree-man's roots and branches, while others swung their claws, constantly tearing at the Tree-man's trunk...

"Roar hiss!!"

Within a short time, the seventh-tier Tree-man suffered severe damage, its roots and branches heavily damaged, and soon it couldn't hold on any longer, getting pushed over by the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets and quickly submerged by more of them.

Soon, the Tree-man was torn to pieces.

"Hiss hiss hiss～"

The despairing Tree-man let out a piercing roar at the last moment of its life.

And this roar seemed like a war horn was sounded. At this moment, the forest in front seemed to come alive.

Rumble rumble～

The ground trembled, and in the forest, many giant trees began to stir, awakening a large number of slumbering Tree-men.

One by one, towering Tree-men pulled their roots out from the ground, waving their branches and slowly encircling the battlefield, their momentum majestic.

"This is probably... over a thousand Tree-men!" Zhao Lin, who was beside Lu Chuan, stared wide-eyed at the large number of encroaching Tree-men, swallowing a gulp unconsciously.

It's not that seeing a thousand seventh-tier Tree-men scared her.

But these Tree-men were just too tall, and advancing together, the oppressive feeling made Zhao Lin feel it was even greater than facing an eighth-tier Sea Beast.

Seeing there were actually a thousand Tree-men here, even Lu Chuan was somewhat surprised.

However, after a brief shock, Lu Chuan immediately decided to act against the encroaching Tree-men.

With Lu Chuan's command issued, the tens of thousands of Sea Beast Corpse Puppets around formed a ferocious Corpse Tide, rushing toward the Tree-man army.

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, both sides clashed violently, with roars and booms resounding continuously.

The Tree-men waved their branches like thousands of iron whips striking simultaneously, sending the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets flying and causing some to be torn apart, sustaining severe injuries.

On the side of the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, relying on their hard shells, they braced against the Tree-men's strikes, desperately closing in on the Tree-men, launching continuous attacks on their roots and trunks.

Every moment, there were Tree-men and Sea Beast Corpse Puppets dying. Most Tree-men were ripped into pieces by the overwhelming numbers of Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, while the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, after withstanding too many blows, lay shattered.

The battle continued relentlessly, neither side able to gain the upper hand in a short time. Seeing this, Lu Chuan frowned. He didn't want to waste time here— the Ancient Ruins mattered more.

Immediately, from the high-tier Corpse Puppet team standing behind Lu Chuan, two Flame Corpse Puppets rose into the air, blazing like two streaks of light as they rushed toward the Tree-men.

The two Flame Corpse Puppets, once above the battlefield, conjured searing Fireballs, which swiftly fell, targeting the Tree-men attacking the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets.

Boom boom boom～

Soon, many Tree-men were hit, roaring flames clinging to them and starting to burn their bodies.

"Hiss hiss～"

Tree-men were highly terrified of fire, and seeing sparks ignite on them, they were obviously scared to death. Their bodies shook; they didn't even have time to deal with the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets in front of them, desperately waving their branches to extinguish the flames.

However, the flames on them couldn't be extinguished. Their relentless thrashing caused the fire to rapidly spread to their branches.

Upon seeing this, the Tree-men panicked chaotically, losing all sense of reason, blindly rushing around the battlefield. Yet, no matter what, the flames on them continued burning increasingly fiercely.

Afraid that the fire would harm his Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, Lu Chuan hastily maneuvered them to maintain some distance from the Tree-men.

The Tree-men, unable to withstand the flames, fell one after another, their trunks charred black, and their branches burned to stubs, with some even still smoldering.

Not long after, the entire Tree-man race was annihilated, turning into a forest of charred limbs and fallen leaves. The temperature over the entire battlefield was terrifyingly high, the air a roiling wave of heat.

Lu Chuan's Sea Beast Corpse Puppets had retreated from the battlefield by then. However, in their efforts to counter the Tree-man army earlier, they had also sustained some damage, with over three hundred Sea Beast Corpse Puppets meeting a gruesome end.

"It's over!"

Zhao Lin, looking at the battlefield littered with Tree-men remnants, sighed in admiration.

"Father, after these Tree-men die, seeds will form inside their bodies. Please have your Corpse Puppets collect these seeds for me."

At this moment, Ji Ruxue looked at the Tree-men remnants as if she remembered something and promptly requested Lu Chuan.

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded directly in agreement.

Ji Ruxue's eyes sparkled; these Tree-man seeds were truly valuable.

As long as she got the seeds and watered them with enough fresh blood, the seeds could grow into a brand new Tree-man.

Ji Ruxue's plan was to keep the collected seeds for future cultivation, then use the Blood Contract Technique to enslave them, thereby controlling a Tree-man army.

Just like with the Bloodthirsty Vines in the past, once enslaved, they would be under her imperious control. At that time, the Tree-man army would have to serve her loyally.

For example, should they ever return to the Li River Base City, she could have the Tree-men root themselves around the Li River Base City, safeguarding the entire place. Any ill-intentioned intruders daring to approach would face the Tree-men suddenly coming to life and launching an attack.
