Chapter 36 Training Yuzu
When the zombies on the other side disappeared, Qin Zhuo peered down into the ditch and could faintly hear the roars of zombies coming from the bottom of the ditch.
It seems that not all the zombies that fell down perished.
"Let's go down and look for the crystal core."
Yu Xiang excitedly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, let's find the crystal core!"
Chen Yunfei frowned and said, "Brother Qin, are we really going down to find the crystal core? It seems that the crystal core is only good for feeding Little Youzi now, so there's no need to make a special trip down there."
Upon hearing this, Youxiang immediately glared at Chen Yunfei with dissatisfaction, her cheeks puffing out like a little ball.
Qiao Yan refuted Chen Yunfei.
"No, I feel that the crystal core can enhance the abilities of superhumans."
This morning, she specifically asked Yu Xiang to get a crystal core to study carefully, and discovered that the energy contained within the crystal core had subtle similarities to her own superpower.
Chen Yunfei scratched the back of his head, somewhat skeptical, and asked, "Does the crystal core really have this effect?"
Qin Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible, but we dare not try it lightly at the moment. After all, who would dare to swallow such a crystal core? However, we can collect some and keep them for later. They might come in very handy in the future."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunfei immediately rubbed his hands together, eager to try, and said, "Then hurry up, we should be able to find lots and lots of crystal cores!"
Qin Zhuo turned to Qiao Yan and said, "Qiao Yan, use your plant-based ability to create a sturdy vine. Wrap it around the big rock next to us, and tie the other end around your waist. That way, it will be safer for us to go down and come up."
Qiao Yan nodded slightly, and soon a thick and tough vine grew out of the ground and was fixed in place as Qin Zhuo had requested.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhuo waved to Youxiang, "Little Youzi, I'll take you downstairs."
Yu Xiang looked at the deep ditch, which was at least thirty or forty meters high.
She quickly grabbed Qiao Yan's hand and said to Qin Zhuo, "Yan Yan and I won't go down; we'll wait for you to come back upstairs."
Qin Zhuo untied the vines binding his waist and strode towards Youxiang.
Oh no, there's danger!
Yuxiang sensed something was wrong, so she quickly let go of Qiao Yan's hand and turned to run away.
But how could her short legs outrun Qin Zhuo's "long legs"?
Qin Zhuo caught up with Youxiang in no time, reached out and gently scooped her up, hoisting her onto his shoulder.
Finally, with a scream from Youxiang, Qin Zhuo, with vines tied around his own waist, grabbed Youxiang's waist and leaped into the ditch.
After tying himself up with vines, Chen Yunfei looked at Qiao Yan and said, "Qiao Yan, are you scared? Do you want me to take you down with me? I promise I'll protect you."
Qiao Yan glanced at him. "No need."
Chen Yunfei's stubbornness kicked in, and he asked again, "Are you sure you don't need me to take you down with you?"
Qiao Yan walked straight up to Chen Yunfei without saying a word.
As Chen Yunfei watched Qiao Yan approach step by step, he was overjoyed, fully believing that Qiao Yan had agreed to go down with him.
A scream of agony rang out.
Qiao Yan swiftly and decisively reached out and pushed the person down.
She stood beside the deep ditch, arms crossed, "Such a big man, so indecisive."
...
As soon as Youxiang and Qinzhuo landed safely, the zombies, still barely clinging to life, staggered and surrounded them.
Yu Xiang silently moved a few steps to the side. "Zhuozhuo, these zombies are yours to handle!"
Qin Zhuo grabbed her collar precisely and pulled Youxiang back, saying, "It's for you."
As he spoke, he quickly drew a dagger from his waist and shoved it into Yuxiang's hand.
Yuka refused outright, "I don't want to. These zombies look so fierce, I definitely can't beat them."
Just then, Chen Yunfei and Qiao Yan also landed steadily below using the vines.
When Youxiang saw that she had a backer, her eyes lit up and she immediately ran to the two of them, complaining to Qin Zhuo in a pitiful manner.
"Yan Yan, Zhuo Zhuo bullied me and insisted that I go and deal with these zombies."
Qin Zhuo's face was serious, his eyes fixed on Youxiang, and he said, "If you encounter any danger in the future and you have no ability to protect yourself, who will save you?"
Yu Xiang raised her head and looked at Qin Zhuo expectantly.
The meaning is obvious: Isn't it because of you?
Although Qin Zhuo appreciated Youxiang's dependence, he still deliberately coughed lightly and said coldly, "I won't save you. Don't count on me. You need to learn to protect yourself."
Youxiang cursed Qin Zhuo for being stingy in her heart, but then she felt that what he said made some sense.
Qiao Yan then stepped forward, patted Youxiang's shoulder gently, and said, "Little Youxiang, Qin Zhuo is right. You have to learn to fight on your own so that you can protect yourself when you encounter danger in the future."
Seeing that Youxiang was still hesitant, Qin Zhuo used a provocation tactic, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Didn't you say you were the strongest? How come you couldn't even beat a few zombies?"
As soon as she said that, Yuka's temper flared up instantly. She gripped the dagger tightly and shouted, "I am the best!"
With that, she charged fiercely towards the zombie.
Qin Zhu shouted from behind, "Their weak point is their head. Aim for their necks and chop them down. Be quick, accurate, and ruthless."
Yuka ran while roaring angrily in dissatisfaction.
"I'm a zombie, do you think I don't know my weaknesses? Don't underestimate me!"
Qiao Yan and Chen Yunfei went to a more distant place to dig for crystal cores, and also dealt with some of the zombies that were not quite dead yet, while leaving the rest to Youxiang to practice on.
Yu Xiang charged into the horde of zombies, initially full of bravado, and actually managed to take down several of them.
But a moment later, her dagger was knocked away by a zombie.
She froze on the spot.
Just then, the zombie seized the opportunity to pounce on her, opening its blood-red mouth to bite her.
Qin Zhuo reacted quickly, pulling Youxiang back from being bitten by a zombie. "What are you standing there for? Just because you don't have a weapon doesn't mean you can let your guard down! Use your water-based abilities, quick!"
After saying that, Qin Zhuo pushed Youxiang towards the zombie.
Yuka finally came to her senses and hurriedly gathered her water-based powers to attack the zombie.
Qin Zhuo, watching Youxiang's attack method, shouted, "Are you trying to suffocate them? They are zombies, not humans, they don't need to breathe."
Upon hearing this, Youxiang suddenly realized and patted her little head, saying, "Oh, right!"
As she spoke, she re-condensed her water-based powers, forming sharp water arrows that shot towards the zombies' heads and necks.
"Lift your feet higher, put in more force, and learn to utilize your strengths..."
Two hours later, all the surviving zombies were dealt with.
Yu Xiang was panting heavily, her little face flushed, but her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Under Qin Zhuo's deliberate training, Youxiang's combat ability has improved by several levels compared to before.
