Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 535 546: Entering!

The entrance to the ruins is within the ancient altar; once the ancient altar is found, you can enter the ancient ruins.

Lu Chuan gazed warmly at the ancient altar standing atop the distant high hill.

The appearance of the ancient altar resembles a stone platform with steps, but this platform is three-storied, towering nine zhang tall, equivalent to eight or nine stories high.

This ancient altar is entirely made of a dark brown stone, marked by the passage of time, and it cannot be guessed how long it has existed in the world.

"Qiqi, Zhao Lin, we're here!"

Lu Chuan, in good spirits, withdrew his gaze from the ancient altar and smilingly reminded the two who were cultivating.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin and Ji Ruxue gradually opened their eyes.

"That's right, it matches my memory perfectly."

Ji Ruxue glanced at the altar, squinting her eyes and confirming in her heart.

"That's the ancient altar; next, we'll pass through it to reach the ancient ruins!"

Lu Chuan pointed to the distant ancient altar and slowly explained to Zhao Lin who walked over.

"What are we waiting for, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin nodded.

Then, the three of them flew down from the Mutated Giant Turtle and quickly rushed towards the altar.

Soon, the three landed on the altar.

Up close, Lu Chuan discovered the altar's rough surface had mysterious patterns all over it, forming various peculiar images, but their purpose was yet unknown.

Additionally, aside from these incomprehensible patterns, Lu Chuan found some slots on the altar, symmetrical and filled with a layer of dark substance.

"Lu Chuan, Qiqi, did you find the entrance? Without an entrance, how do we enter the ancient ruins?"

Soon, Zhao Lin grew puzzled as she couldn't find the entrance after searching for a long time.

"To enter the ancient ruins, the ancient altar must be activated, and activating it requires a vast amount of fresh blood to fill up the grooves and patterns on the altar's surface completely," Ji Ruxue quickly explained.

"Blood, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan's eyes gleamed, promising, "Leave the matter of the blood to me!"

Soon, Lu Chuan directed the Sea Beast Corpse Puppet under his command to the sea to find powerful sea beasts and bring them back alive.

"Let's rest for a while! Lu Chuan, once you've captured the required sea beasts, we'll proceed!"

"We've been on the move without rest for some time, and with our imminent entry into the ancient ruins, it's a good chance to recuperate," Zhao Lin proposed, blinking her large eyes at Lu Chuan.

The team had, until now, endured meals in the wind and slept under the stars, braving the ocean's waves before reaching the island, and still, they hadn't rested.

Zhao Lin wished to rest and recharge to face potential dangers within the ruins.

"Alright, let's grab something to eat first."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan did not refuse; after all, Little Qiqi and Zhao Lin were not zombies who could ignore fatigue, so it was perfect to let them recover before entering the ruins.

Following this, Zhao Lin and Ji Ruxue set up tents near the altar and lay down to rest.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan built a simple barbecue stand using earth not far from the tent and skewered the meat of fierce beasts onto prepared wooden sticks.

In just fifteen minutes, over six hundred skewers were prepared.

Using the Power of Death, Lu Chuan quickly crafted a batch of charcoal using flames, placing them beneath the barbecue stand.

Then, he placed the skewers onto the barbecue stand.

The flames roared, and heat waves rolled; under the scorching fire, the skewers of meat began to slightly mature and char, releasing a rich aroma that made mouths water.

Sizzle sizzle~

The aroma grew stronger, with oil sizzling out from the meat and gradually accumulating until it dripped onto the charcoal, producing sizzling sounds.

After three rounds, Lu Chuan succeeded in making nearly a hundred skewers of grilled meat; seeing it was almost done, he hurriedly called Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin from their rest.

The two, having taken a short nap, woke upon hearing the sound and their eyes lit up at the powerful scent of grilled meat.

"Qiqi, Zhao Lin, dinner's ready!"

Lu Chuan's urging voice sounded once more.

"Got it, coming!"

Ji Ruxue responded loudly.

Soon, she climbed off the bedding and swiftly exited the tent, followed by Zhao Lin.

"Wow, Lu Chuan, your cooking is really something; this grilled meat tastes amazing!"

Zhao Lin came over with repeated compliments, then directly grabbed a skewer from the platter on the table and started eating heartily.

Across the table, Ji Ruxue was eating, a skewer in each hand, alternating.

"If it tastes good, don't be polite; eat up! There's plenty grilled today, so it's definitely enough for you,"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan chuckled and placed a hundred more skewers onto the platter on the table.

Lu Chuan continued to grill the remaining skewers and soon joined Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin in the feast.

After eating and drinking to their fill, Lu Chuan helped the two pack up, and at that moment, the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets sent to collect sea beasts returned.

A troop of Sea Beast Corpse Puppets successfully captured two seventh-grade blue sea snakes and one seal-like seventh-grade sea beast.

Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin packed the tent and other items onto the Mutated Giant Turtle's back while Lu Chuan drew the Sea-Breaking Blade and led the three sea beasts to the altar's top.

Psst~

"Roar~"

With successive cries of agony, Lu Chuan used the Sea-Breaking Blade to slit the throats of the three sea beasts, allowing streams of hot blood to gush from the wounds.

Visible to the naked eye, the blood flowed along the patterns on the altar's surface, gradually spreading across it, and some slots began accumulating the blood.

Meanwhile, the patterns started glowing faintly red, brightening the altar more as the blood coursed.

Buzzing~

Once the slots were filled, the towering altar shook, the array above activated, and the blood-colored pattern shone brightly, causing the altar to resonate intensely with deafening rumbling.

Lu Chuan held Zhao Lin and Ji Ruxue, leading them to the altar's top, and the next moment, the three vanished from sight.
