The tall, muscular zombie in front of him tried to use his long sword to deflect Qin He's flail that was heading straight for skull crushing, unaware that this weapon was designed to break through parries and deal with heavy armor.
Although the blade was blocking the long handle, the powerful striking rod still had a chance to strike the zombie's head.
But Qin He nimbly turned and struck again with a slanted, straight blow.
This time, the flail precisely bypassed the blade, deflected the zombie's head, and blasted it apart!
Awesome! With just my brute strength, I can already kill an eighth-tier being.
Although his cultivation level has not yet improved, Qin He is confident that if he can grow his physical body, he will be able to fight against a ninth-level opponent!
After blasting the massive zombie in front of him, Qin He immediately retrieved the flail and summoned the phantom from the spatial scale.
"boom--!"
The bullet struck first, instantly exploding into a bloody mist. Then, Qin He hurled his meteorite spear, pinning another zombie, which instinctively tried to dodge, firmly to the ground!
With the speed boost from the triple magic, Qin He leaped through the air and grasped the gun barrel.
Then, Qin He ripped the zombie in two with a fierce swing of his gun, seizing its core.
While holding the meteorite spear, Qin He also wrapped the Bloodthirsty Reaper around his hand.
"Get over here!"
With a soft shout, two slashing blades flew towards him! Although not as accurate as his own throwing knives, these two spinning objects were not easy to deal with.
Qin He first swung his spear left and right, deflecting the two cleavers. Then, facing the two zombies charging at him, Qin He unleashed the Bloodthirsty Reaper.
This time, however, the deadly weapon was a meteor hammer with a golden glow on the other end!
The sensation of the impact traveled back to his palm along the chain. Qin He removed the two cores and continued to face the zombies.
At this moment, Qin He also noticed that the dead zombies were beginning to melt and turn into something like oil.
Soon, the black liquid grew into a carpet-like shape, and moved towards the city center like a living organism.
"Ha... you think I'd let you leave?"
Qin He collected these decaying branches into his spatial scale and attempted to calcify them using a furnace fire.
Chapter 99 My Wife is Making Dumplings at Home
There were only six zombies left in front of me, so there was nothing to be nervous about.
Thanks to the recoil reduction and various lightweight magical enhancements of the world's magical firearms, Qin He can easily snipe with one hand.
Qin He naturally loved these superior benefits. Shoving a sniper rifle into a zombie's mouth and pulling the trigger—it was incredibly satisfying.
Just as the giant lizard zombie, which Qin He had killed with a sniper rifle, was about to die on the spot, the other zombie with pointed ears changed.
"Oh? A druid."
Qin He was quite interested in this kind of being that could transform to some extent by borrowing the power of nature.
In an instant, the thin, withered druid zombie transformed into a giant bear! Even compared to Luna's nine-meter length, this giant bear was just a small hamster. But it was still a terrifying predator.
With a flap of his dragon wings, Qin He soared forward and thrust the Phantom into the mouth of the druid bear!
"Go ahead and explode for me!"
Pulling the trigger, Ji Qinhe instantly and happily shattered the druid bear's head. He also conveniently collected the decaying branches generated by the dead zombies.
According to Celesi, the number of corrupt branches directly determines the growth of the corrupt god tree.
If I dig these things away, won't your corrupted tree produce zombies at a slower rate?
Qin He had already made a plan: even if he had to bring in a few bulldozers to try and clear away the corrupt branches covering the ground, he couldn't just sit idly by and watch the corrupt tree continue to grow.
Otherwise, if it were to grow to the Saint level, who knows how many zombies it would create!
After a fierce battle, Qin He successfully annihilated the dozen or so zombies. However, aside from some weapons and magical materials, he didn't gain anything particularly noteworthy.
"Phew... Let's go to where the key is."
Based on the same combat power detector given to him by Elulu, Qin He headed towards the nearest key.
……
Inside the safe house, Zhong Liuxiu looked at the layout of the room, but her heart was filled with thoughts of Qin He.
"I wonder if Qin He has eaten yet~ That snake soup took me a long time to make."
Zhong Liuxiu was inside, researching how to use magical reproduction to handcraft props. Suddenly, however, she felt an itch at the base of her tail…
"Ugh! What, what's going on?"
Zhong Liuxiu quickly asked Seraixi what was wrong with her tail being itchy.
"Oh~ Sleeves, your tail has matured."
Mature? What does that mean?
Zhong Liuxiu was still puzzled. She reached out and cupped her plump, soft tail, but it felt as comforting as a cushion...
It... actually fell onto the sofa!
Zhong Liuxiu quickly touched the back of her buttocks and found a small tail with a crystal at the end!
"Hehe~ Sleeves, this mutated dragon tail, the actual tail part is only this small section. This small crystal at the end of the tail is the magic energy storage organ that grows on the tail~"
It turns out that Zhong Liuxiu's real tail is only the size of a finger. The plump, fleshy tail that she usually has is actually a protective layer for storing nutrients.
As Zhong Liuxiu turned around and picked up the large, plump piece of dragon tail meat, the small tail on her back that stored demonic energy emitted a shimmering white light.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Liuxiu felt that strange weight again behind her.
The "protective layer" formed by excess fat and fibers on the outside of the actual tail then grows back.
"I... my tail is back~"
Zhong Liuxiu stroked her tail, its scales smooth and bouncy, feeling plump and juicy, and it felt quite wonderful.
After listening to Celesi's more detailed explanation, Zhong Liuxiu finally understood. It turned out that her tail was like menstruation, falling off on a specific day each month.
Normally, this plump dragon tail, formed from accumulated nutrients, grows on the outside as a protective layer for the real tail, becoming as hard as steel when injured.
It not only protects the magic energy storage organs inside, but also boasts a variety of exquisite flavors.
This protective dragon tail is not Zhong Liuxiu's own flesh. It is purely composed of nutrients and energy.
"Sleeves~ Actually, the mutated dragon tail meat and the meat of the dragon itself are completely different things."
Take the red dragon as an example. Generally, the flesh of a red dragon has a spicy taste. However, if a red dragon has a mutated tail, the tail will not have a spicy or stimulating taste.
Or rather, the difference in dragon species only affects whether the texture of the mutated dragon's tail is soft or chewy.
Generally, metallic dragonflies have a chewier texture, while colored dragonflies are relatively soft and mushy. Gem dragonflies fall somewhere in between, and their crystal-clear appearance makes them quite appealing.
Celesi used her divine power to restore the severed tail, and a large, plump, bouncy dragon tail immediately filled the living room. It was big enough to crush Qin He inside!
"That means I can use them to prepare dragon tail dishes for Qin He for a long time."
Thinking of this, Zhong Liuxiu, a married woman and cook, immediately became interested.
"Hmm, what kind of thing would you like to do?"
After careful consideration, Zhong Liuxiu naturally cut a few small pieces of dragon tail meat first.
For both her and Qin He's stomachs, eating raw food wouldn't cause any problems. Zhong Liuxiu approached it with the mindset of trying sashimi.
Seeing Zhong Liuxiu begin to taste the food, Celesi also taught her how to appreciate the flavor of the dragon tail:
"Sleeve, now imagine you're eating a perfectly cooked steak. It doesn't have to be a beef patty; it could be something else. Like a lobster!"
Whispering beside her, Seresi prompted Zhong Liuxiu to imagine what she was eating.
"It really tastes like red dragon meat! It's a little spicy but very fragrant, and it's many times tastier than the red dragon meat I had last time... This?"
Selexi smiled and continued to explain to Zhong Liuxiu:
"That's why the mutated dragon tail is called a dream ingredient. It is made from your energy and excess nutrients, but the magic storage organ in the actual tail part gives it a dreamy taste."
The texture and flavor of the dragon tail meat will change accordingly as long as the consumer imagines a delicious taste they have ever had.
This allows diners to enjoy an ultimate experience that is several times more delicious than the dishes they remember.
In other words, it can actually provide the corresponding flavor based on what you think in your heart.
Even just imagining instant noodles in her head, the taste was so delicious that Zhong Liuxiu found it unbelievable.
"This...is amazing!"
Such tempting ingredients are especially precious to gourmets who have seen all the world's delicacies.
A steak so perfect it couldn't be more delicious can be savored through the mutated dragon tail.
Made with meticulous processes, even the truffle sauce from the mutated dragon tail boasts a superior taste.
It's meat, but it can instantly transform into the texture and aroma of vegetables... every moment is a completely different texture.
A renowned chef once vehemently criticized: "Those dream ingredients, including mutated dragon tails, have completely destroyed and overturned the entire culinary world!"
No cooking is needed, not even sashimi. Even a freshly fallen mutated dragon tail, if you take a piece and put it in your mouth, is a delicacy that transcends consciousness.
Such food should be banned from being served on the dining table!
The next day, she served the dragon tail dish:
"It's so fragrant!"
In fact, these dragon tails, which drop every month, are a valuable resource that can be traded for dragons that own them.
Ultimately, it's essentially like sweating when you run. The soft, protective layer regenerates in just a few tens of seconds.
Even now, if a dragon makes an outstanding contribution to the Dragon Realm Council, it can "order food" online using magic crystals.
At that time, the council will even have a special dragon to provide a tail delivery service, delivering fresh and huge mutated dragon tails to the homes of the ordering dragons.
Of course, those who meet these conditions are usually giant dragons that have attained sainthood or even godhood. Their tribes typically have one or two giant dragons with mutated dragon tails.
Therefore, this "order takeout" function is basically used to order auctioned items.
After thinking it over carefully, Zhong Liuxiu took out a large piece of dragon tail meat and went to the kitchen to finely chop it into minced meat. Then she set it aside to be processed.
Then, Zhong Liuxiu took out the dough and rolled it into dumpling wrappers of fairly uniform size.
"Hehe... If I had to say what delicious food I should make for Qin He, dumplings would definitely be the most suitable!"
While struggling in a foreign land, Zhong Liuxiu hoped to give Qin He all her love and tenderness.
As his wife, she hoped that when Qin He finished his hard work and returned home, she could serve him a bowl of fresh dumplings.
"Qin He, you must be safe and sound~ Your lovely wife is at home... making you the most delicious dumplings in the world. Mmm..."
……
"Your Highness Elxi, the target, Silver Dragon Qin He, has been located. He has been locked onto!"
On a high-rise building in the city, four hunters, all ninth-tier experts bribed by Elshi, were already eyeing the city covetously.
"Alright, all four of you, move out. You must kill that Silver Dragon Qin He, and don't give him any chance to raise his cultivation to the peak of the seventh rank!"
Chapter 100 Yu Lan Reappears, Tianyuan Absolute Demon
"Aimed, this shot should be enough to kill the target completely."
Taking out his briefcase, the hunter, who had cultivated ninth-level battle qi, loaded three extra-large bullets marked with skulls into it.
The opponent then used a bullet capable of killing a ninth-level expert in one shot, intending to kill Qin He directly.
Although the zombies in the city are showing signs of devouring and evolving, these four are all at the peak of the ninth rank. In the short term, the zombies in the city will not pose a threat.
"You can't kill that silver dragon—at least not within one shot."
"Because the necklace on his chest can withstand one instance of damage from a peak ninth-tier attacker. Are you willing to use a bullet to give us a chance to hurt him?"
The old wizard reminded him, and only then did the hunter notice the Sea God's Tear on Qin He's neck.
This kind of disposable protective artifact is a very expensive consumable, so its performance is naturally excellent.
If the hunter were to fire recklessly here, the expensive bullet he acquired would be wasted.
"Hmph... I didn't say I was going to fire this shot now, just you wait and see."
Switch the magic-powered gun in your hand to the attack mode of magic energy bullets, and directly convert the attack through the magic core inside the gun in conjunction with the magic circle.
With the power amplification at its highest level, a magical energy blast with the destructive power of a ninth-tier peak spell aimed straight for Qin He's head!
