The red bean-sized ice-blue crystal core was exactly the C-level crystal core that Chi Ruanfan had been looking for for more than a week.
During the few hours that Chi Ruanfan slept, Jinzhu alone and quietly dealt with the C-level ice white tiger.
No, all the villagers knew that someone had fought with the White Tiger.
This was "silent" to him alone.
"We agreed to face danger together, but you left me alone again..."
Chi Ruanfan checked Jinzhu's physical condition and wanted to say something to him, but then he remembered that Jinzhu couldn't understand at all, and he was so angry that all the resentment and fear in his heart was stuck in his heart, and he couldn't vent it.
Fortunately, Jinzhu was not seriously injured. Only the corner of his clothes was pierced by the icicle and there was some broken ice covering it.
Chi Ruanfan looked at the hole that was only a few millimeters away from Jinzhu's waist and became even more frightened.
"Don't do this anymore." Chi Ruanfan pressed against Jin Zhu's forehead.
“Roar~”
Jinzhu seemed to think that he was playing the sticking game with him, and he kept shaking his head left and right against Chi Ruanfan's forehead, rubbing it with great joy.
Chi Ruanfan sighed softly and hugged Jinzhu tighter.
Jinzhu lived a heartless life, couldn't understand what he said, and he couldn't express complicated things with gestures...
The only thing he could do was to make himself stronger as quickly as possible.
At least when Jinzhu goes to face danger, he can follow Jinzhu, stay by his side, and face it together with him.
Jinzhu closed her eyes and stayed close to Chi Ruanfan.
Suddenly, as if remembering that Chi Ruanfan had not yet received the crystal core he brought back, he opened his eyes, pinched the crystal core and put it to Chi Ruanfan's mouth.
Chi Ruanfan did not refuse this time. He simply washed it with water and swallowed it.
The sound of villagers talking in low voices could be heard downstairs.
"Is it over?"
"Who's winning?"
"Should we escape..."
Chi Ruanfan took Jinzhu into the house and drew the curtains.
"Zhu Zi, don't go out and don't let anyone in before I wake up."
The pain from the crystal core shaping his body gradually spread. Chi Ruanfan became unsteady on his feet and slowly fell onto the bed.
He gasped in pain, but still worried about Jinzhu, so he held Jinzhu's hand and said:
"Like we did just now, cover this place with black fog."
Chi Ruanfan was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and cry out in pain, and he was also worried that Jinzhu would yell out in anxiety. Either way, it would attract the attention of the villagers.
Previously, the whole village heard the noise of Jinzhu's fight with Baihu, but he was sleeping soundly and didn't sense anything.
The reason must be related to the black fog covering the bed.
The black fog can block out the sounds from the outside world. If used in a different way, it might also be able to block out the sounds from inside.
Chi Ruanfan spoke and gestured at the same time.
Finally, before he became unconscious due to the pain, he saw the black fog spread and completely enveloped his body.
Chi Ruanfan breathed a sigh of relief and allowed himself to hug Jinzhu and cry out in pain.
"It hurts... Bamboo, hiss, kiss me..."
Jinzhu had already panicked. She helplessly touched Chi Ruanfan's forehead, rubbed his cheek, and even wanted to pry open his mouth to get the crystal core out.
Chi Ruanfan could only move forward and kiss her, comforting Jinzhu as he did so.
It hurts to take the crystal core because the energy of the crystal core is shaping his body.
As Chi Ruanfan ate one crystal core after another, the pain from taking the D-level crystal core gradually subsided and approached zero.
It also means that the D-level crystal core can only provide limited improvement to him, and he needs a higher-level crystal core.
Jinzhu doesn't understand all these twists and turns.
C-level zombies have limited intelligence. Jinzhu only knows that Chi Ruanfan was pale, sweaty, and trembling at first, but recently he was able to stick close to her after taking the crystal core.
Jinzhu thought that Chi Ruanfan would no longer feel uncomfortable because of the crystal core, so she fed him the crystal core with peace of mind.
But now, Chi Ruanfan's reaction returned to what it was at the beginning, and it was even more frightening than what Jinzhu had seen at first.
Jinzhu was frightened.
"roar-"
Jinzhu lay on Chi Ruanfan and growled.
The shrill roar reminded Chi Ruanfan of the wolf he had lost.
Bah! Bah! Bah!
He was well behaved, so Jinzhu didn't lose him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm fine."
Chi Ruanfan was still holding Jinzhu, and his voice was so low that it was just a breath.
Every time you take a crystal core, there is a chance of transforming into a zombie, especially when taking a higher level crystal core for upgrading.
He had survived all those upgrades in his previous life, so there was no reason why he couldn't survive this one.
If he doesn't make it... he and Jinzhu will become two zombies.
After an unknown amount of time, the pain gradually faded away. Chi Ruanfan slowly opened his eyes and met a pair of red eyes that were full of expectation.
"Jinzhu." Chi Ruanfan called softly.
"Roar!" Jinzhu buried her head in Chi Ruanfan's arms.
Not long after, he suddenly raised his head and kissed Chi Ruanfan's face and lips, imitating what Chi Ruanfan had done before.
In the past, when Jinzhu touched him with his lips, it could only be described as rubbing or touching. Only this time, Chi Ruanfan could feel that he was kissing him.
"It's okay now." Chi Ruanfan hugged him and responded to his kiss.
The two hugged each other for a long time until Chi Ruanfan felt hungry.
He asked Jinzhu to remove the black fog, and used his supernatural power to condense water to give himself and Jinzhu a bath.
"roar?"
Jinzhu felt something different and looked at the water flowing on his body with some curiosity.
"How is it? Are you comfortable?" Chi Ruanfan carefully controlled the water temperature, making it just slightly lower than Jinzhu's body temperature.
After his ability level was upgraded to C level, Chi Ruanfan gained the ability to control water temperature.
It can heat water to boiling point and also cool water temperature to freezing point.
It was not until this time that he had the ability to fight with his super powers.
“Roar~”
Jinzhu reached out and touched the water on Chi Ruanfan's body.
The water temperature on Chi Ruanfan's body is higher.
He had wanted to take a hot bath for a long time.
The D-level ability cannot control the water temperature, so I can only endure it. Now that it has been upgraded, I can finally get what I want.
Meeting Jinzhu's curious baby-like eyes, Chi Ruanfan raised his hand.
A stream of water flowed across his fingertips, and in an instant it turned into a crystal clear ice rose.
The texture of the rose is clearly visible and very lifelike.
"For you." Chi Ruanfan handed the ice rose to Jinzhu.
As a former S-level psychic, Chi Ruanfan's control over his supernatural powers has almost reached the level of perfection.
It was easy for him to control water of two different temperatures.
The only thing that limits his ability is his level.
But in the past five years of his previous life, Chi Ruanfan had never used his supernatural powers to do such flashy things.
Because at that time, there was no one around him to whom he could send flowers.
Jinzhu took the ice rose, sniffed it, opened his mouth, took a bite, chewed it and swallowed it.
Chi Ruanfan: “…”
Okay, as long as my boyfriend is happy.
After taking a shower and having a simple dinner with Jinzhu, Chi Ruanfan put sunglasses on Jinzhu and took him downstairs.
Night was his usual hunting time.
Chi Ruanfan felt the sudden increase of supernatural energy in his body and was eager to try.
I've rested enough, it's time to find a zombie or a mutant plant or animal and try out my upgraded superpowers.
It was just getting dark and the village chief and his family were still awake.
Chi Ruanfan proposed to leave on the grounds that he was frightened by the white tiger and the unknown black fog.
The village chief and his family were obviously frightened enough that they simply said a few words to persuade them to stay and then sent them away.
Chi Ruanfan drove away from the village.
"If you encounter zombies later, you stay here and don't move. Let me take care of it." Chi Ruanfan instructed Jinzhu.
Jinzhu: “Roar~”
That night, they did not encounter zombies with special powers, nor did they encounter mutated plants and animals, but they did encounter a convoy of survivors.
