CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 344: THE FOURTH 5TH-TIER CORPSE PUPPET!

Next day, early morning.

Lu Chuan started preparing breakfast for Little Qiqi, using the half pot of snake stew left from last night, and added several handfuls of thin noodles.

As soon as the fire was lit for heating, the pot’s delicious snake stew emitted a rich aroma, with the thin noodles absorbing the broth completely, glistening with an enticing sheen of oil, which aroused the appetite.

Just then, Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin also got up and began freshening up.

The first to finish was Zhao Lin, who hurriedly walked into the kitchen, staring at the fragrant noodles in the pot, along with chunks of tender white snake meat, her eyes lighting up.

"Lu Chuan, having snake stew noodles for breakfast? Smells so good, almost like chicken noodle soup."

"How much longer until it’s ready? Lu Chuan, my belly’s already empty."

Zhao Lin, drooling with craving, moved closer.

Ignoring the fellow, Lu Chuan directly turned off the fire, took a small bowl from the nearby vegetable sink, and served the snake stew noodles for Little Qiqi.

As for Zhao Lin? It’s not like she didn’t have hands.

"Who cares..."

Watching Lu Chuan’s retreating figure, Zhao Lin glared, muttered a word, then obediently took a big bowl from the sink, and served herself snake stew noodles.

In the living room.

"Thank you, Dad! Smells so good, Dad, you’re really good at cooking!"

After freshening up, Ji Ruxue walked to the dining table, looked at the snake stew noodles in front, sniffled, and happily praised.

Lu Chuan beside her smiled faintly, rubbed Little Qiqi’s head, and then wrote on paper: "Little Qiqi, be good and eat breakfast, Dad has something to do and will be back soon."

"Alright, you can go, Dad!"

Seeing this, Ji Ruxue nodded obediently, understanding in her heart.

Watching Lu Chuan head out the door, Zhao Lin, who had just sat down with a bowl of snake stew soup, secretly said to Little Qiqi across from her: "Little Qiqi, your dad’s cooking skills are really good, I even suspect he might have been a chef."

"Of course, Dad’s cooking is the best."

Hearing this, Ji Ruxue pretended to lift her head proudly, though she also had no idea what her dad’s previous occupation was, maybe he really was a chef as Zhao Lin said!

While the two chatted and ate, Lu Chuan had already brought a group of Corpse Puppets down to the building complex.

The matter of promoting a fifth-tier Corpse Puppet, naturally, the sooner the better, having just settled in, he couldn’t wait to enhance a fifth-tier Corpse Puppet.

Earth Escape One, Invisible One, Tyrant One, Flame One...

Looking at the row of fourth-tier Corpse Puppets in front of him, Lu Chuan pondered.

Er Pang was already a fifth-tier Corpse Puppet, so he first excluded the Tank Type Corpse Puppet from this promotion slot, leaving it for later.

The remaining various types of Corpse Puppets were all available options.

Earth Escape One and Invisible One at fourth-tier are already sufficient, so far, Lu Chuan hasn’t used them much, so they can be temporarily excluded too.

Next, he had to choose among Lightning One, Tyrant One, and Flame One.

After much thought, Lu Chuan ultimately chose Flame One.

The advantage of Lightning One is its speed, which Undead One can replace.

Tyrant One is mainly responsible for charging and killing enemies head-on, and its steel claws can launch remote attacks, which can also be replaced by Undead One and Er Pang.

What’s left is Flame One, which primarily serves as a remote artillery, delivering a massive attack to the enemy all at once.

The main reason he chose Flame One was because of its remote attack capability.

In terms of remote attacks, while Tyrant One’s steel claws and Undead One’s Bloodthirsty Thunder Light are both remote attacks.

However, they are ultimately not as specialized as Flame One, whose flame attack can reach much further than theirs.

Moreover, Lu Chuan felt that his team still lacked remote attack capabilities.

He was currently being hunted by humans, and a train caravan loaded with many supplies, though convenient for himself, would become a burden when the human pursuers arrived.

Only remote attacks that are far, numerous, and strong can effectively attack the human official helicopters when they approach.

Once the blazing flames explode in the air, the humans’ helicopters wouldn’t dare get close to the convoy, not to mention carry out close-range bombardments.

With the decision made, under Lu Chuan’s manipulation, Flame One, emitting a high temperature and rolling heat waves, quickly stepped out from the ranks.

Lu Chuan gave three fourth-tier Fierce Beast Crystal Cores to Flame One to consume one by one.

The transformation began instantly upon consuming the Crystal Cores.

The energy transformed from the Crystal Cores surged like a rushing torrent, crazily flowing inside Flame One’s crimson body, suddenly making the firelight emitted from Flame One become increasingly intense.

Roar!

The energy refining the body brought about reactions, causing Flame One to roar uncontrollably, its entirely crimson body starting to tremble continuously.

Standing not far away, Lu Chuan could clearly feel the temperature emitted from Flame One rising higher and higher.

The scorching heat waves swept in all directions, under the baking of the heat waves, the surrounding grass and a few ornamental trees’ green leaves began to dehydrate and turn yellow, showing signs of withering.

As time passed, Flame One’s transformation progressed, with not much change in size, but with noticeable changes in its body.

The original molten-like red and black interwoven body gradually transitioned to a magma body, as if formed by countless droplets of molten iron, the blazing light constantly radiated outwards.

Boom!

With a rumbling sound, a crimson Spirit Pill inside Flame One formed, and crimson Spiritual Essence stirred up a storm within, surging wildly.

Instantly, the magma-congealed body erupted with blazing flames, turning into a pillar of fire ascending into the sky, even flying higher than a twenty-two-story building.

Thus, Flame One successfully advanced to the fifth-tier Corpse Puppet!

Lu Chuan, who was waiting nearby, was already grinning broadly, looking at Flame One in front of him like a mass of fire, his heart filled with excitement.

Both of these skills are quite invincible!

Flame One, like several other fifth-tier Corpse Puppets, awakened with two skills.

One skill allows it to transform its body entirely into flames, that is elementalization, making it no longer have a physical form and basically immune to physical damage.

Additionally, once Flame One turns into flames, it gains the same flying ability as Flyer One, enabling it to quickly fly in the air, which is extremely useful!!!

Eventually, Lu Chuan named this skill—Fire Spirit Body.

The second skill enables Flame One to conjure a special kind of flame that has a great restraining effect on flesh and blood, able to burn wildly using the flesh as energy.

It’s said that once it sticks to the body, it’s hard to extinguish, whether against zombies, Evolvers, or Fierce Beasts, it is a very formidable capability.

After some thought, Lu Chuan named this skill—Fire Spirit Blood Flame!
