CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 336: LU CHUAN’S SUSPICION: QIQI HAS A SECRET!

"Little Qiqi, how are you? Are you okay? Let me have a look."

Originally searching fruitlessly in the dust, Zhao Lin was overjoyed to spot Little Qiqi beside the corpse. She hurried over and started checking him immediately.

If anything happened to Little Qiqi, she’d be regretful beyond measure. She shouldn’t have drawn her sword to fight the fourth-tier fierce bird earlier; she should have stayed by Little Qiqi’s side, ensuring the child’s safety.

Simultaneously, Lu Chuan, looking tense, rushed over quickly as well, his eyes filled with worry, as he checked Little Qiqi over thoroughly, ensuring there was not a single wound on him.

"Dad, Mrs. Zhao Lin, I’m really fine, don’t worry."

Seeing Lu Chuan and Zhao Lin fussing over him, Ji Ruxue felt a bit uneasy, stepped back a few steps, clapped his hands on his body, and spoke with a confident smile.

With her strength, if she got hurt by a fourth-tier mutated fierce beast, then wasn’t her reincarnation wasted?

"Good, as long as you’re alright, good lord that scared me! This damned beast suddenly came from underground, so treacherous!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin looked at Little Qiqi’s rosy face and felt reassured.

Suddenly thinking of something, she angrily turned to the mutated pangolin, delivering several fierce kicks, and still unsatisfied, heavily kicked it again, making the giant mutated pangolin shudder.

Lu Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief and soothingly patted Little Qiqi’s head.

The earlier situation was so perilous, truly caught unprepared, almost allowing that Beast King Sect Leader to exploit an opportunity; who would have thought this mutated pangolin would emerge from underground, almost succeeding.

If anything happened to Little Qiqi, he would never forgive himself, and no matter where he had to go, he would hunt down the Beast King Sect Leader, subject him to endless torment, and rip him apart.

However, at this moment, Lu Chuan paused, gazing at the mutated pangolin’s corpse in bewilderment, wondering how this giant fierce beast could have died?

This is a fourth-tier fierce beast!

Unless the attacker reached the fourth tier or even the fifth tier, otherwise killing a fourth-tier fierce beast is incredibly difficult.

The most terrifying thing is, the attacker managed to do so in utter silence.

Initially, there was no commotion at all, but when the dust settled, all they saw was the corpse; even if it wasn’t an instant kill, it wasn’t far off.

Then, Zhao Lin, still kicking the mutated pangolin, realized the oddity, her expression slightly changed.

Something’s off, this mutated pangolin died way too strangely, no movement at all, appearing deceased just like that. She didn’t feel any battle vibrations in the dust earlier, it’s genuinely baffling.

"Little Qiqi, quickly tell me, how did you manage to kill this big guy? This is a fourth-tier fierce beast!"

Zhao Lin, full of curiosity, squatted, pinching Little Qiqi’s cheek, and asked with a laugh.

If Lu Chuan, the Corpse King, had killed it, she wouldn’t say much, given his formidable strength, slaying a fourth-tier mutated fierce beast would naturally be easy.

But if the matter shifted to Little Qiqi, it was considerably different, even somewhat absurd.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue felt helpless, uncertain how to explain, and upon pondering, decided to simply play dumb.

No other choice, had to go this route!

If not for the mutated pangolin’s sudden appearance catching her off guard, she otherwise wouldn’t have acted rashly.

"Mrs. Zhao Lin, I don’t know either, I didn’t see anything... When I could finally see clearly, this big guy was lying next to me."

Ji Ruxue furrowed his brow, feigned confusion, and scratched his head.

Upon hearing Little Qiqi’s explanation, Zhao Lin nodded, refraining from probing any further.

Because deep down, she didn’t believe Little Qiqi could slay the big guy before them, given the mutated pangolin’s enormous size and formidable strength, it was a fourth-tier existence.

Such a massive creature, how could a little girl handle it, even if herself attempting it wouldn’t be simple.

However, upon further reflection, Zhao Lin felt curious again, if not Little Qiqi, then who intervened?

It couldn’t be that the fourth-tier mutated pangolin ended itself, right?

Thus, surely, someone intervened secretly.

The opponent was indeed formidable, managing to silently dispose of the mutated pangolin before them, without leaving a trace.

So, where is the opponent hiding now?

Zhao Lin’s gaze began sweeping about, extremely alert, the hidden presence likely cloaked amid the mountains and forests, observing everything with unknown intentions.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan was also watching Little Qiqi, his gaze fluctuating slightly, intuitively sensing that Little Qiqi probably harbors secrets.

Even as her father, he has no inkling of these secrets.

After all, if others had intervened, Lu Chuan, utilizing his corpse puppets, would surely detect any anomalies.

Unless the one in the shadows possessed overwhelmingly powerful strength beyond reason, which is scarcely possible.

Hence, the fourth-tier mutated pangolin was likely slain by Little Qiqi...

However, since Little Qiqi chose silence, he wouldn’t inquire further, not wanting this matter to sow discord between Little Qiqi and himself.

Afterwards, Zhao Lin embracing unharmed Little Qiqi, returned to the vehicle.

Fearing any shock affecting Little Qiqi adversely, Zhao Lin began telling jokes, racking her brains trying to divert Little Qiqi’s focus from prior events.

After they left, Lu Chuan, remaining behind, manipulated corpse puppets to tidy up the scene, cleanly disposing of two fourth-tier fierce beast corpses.

First, he extracted two fourth-tier fierce beast crystal cores, possessing nearly half a fifth-tier power, swiftly tucking them into his arms.

Furthermore, the flesh of fourth-tier mutated fierce beasts is invaluable, though some parts are difficult to process, he saved most of the two fourth-tier fierce beasts’ meat.

He began systematically cutting and preserving the meat chunks.

Not until late at night did Lu Chuan finish cleaning up the two fourth-tier mutated fierce beasts, then he had time to gaze at the starry sky in the darkness, enjoying it immensely.

Thinking of that Beast King Sect Leader scum daring to target Little Qiqi, Lu Chuan’s eyes turned icy cold, brimming with intense murderous intent.
