Chapter 739: Black Serpent’s Evolution

In her mind, something called the Purification Technique appeared. Xu Mumu’s fingertips moved slightly, and the superpower followed a specific path, producing the glow of purification as before.

She used to rely on the little elf’s power, but now she experienced it firsthand, and the feeling was quite marvelous.

But now with the Purification Technique, she no longer had to constantly think about asking the little elf for help. Xu Mumu was very much looking forward to seeing what the Reincarnation Jade would be like after it upgraded.

Most of the zombies from Jin City, about eighty percent, were gathered here.

The level six Crystal Core was swallowed by the Big Black Snake in one gulp, showing no signs of indigestion at all.

The remaining zombies were dealt with by Xu Mumu and Yin Yang. They exchanged a glance and then ordered the team to attack these zombies together, even though they were essentially assisting the Big Black Snake with these Crystal Cores.

With the Big Black Snake present, it took more than three hours to clear out these zombies.

Xu Mumu was so exhausted that she didn’t even want to move her fingers. She was too tired to deal with purifying the Crystal Cores for the time being.

The group collapsed onto the ground, and the sky gradually darkened.

After resting a bit, Xu Mumu began to purify. The Purification Technique wasn’t difficult. She even started teaching the team how to do it because there were too many Crystal Cores for her to handle alone at her speed.

"Yin Yang, what do you think about us donating this technique?" Xu Mumu asked, looking at Yin Yang.

"It’s up to you; it’s your thing." Yin Yang replied gently. He only wanted his wife to be fine; as for others, he’d help if he was in a good mood, but if he wasn’t, then forget it.

"Then let’s donate it. When we reach the next base, we’ll call Mom and Dad to tell them about the Purification Technique, and ask Dad to inform the higher-ups," Xu Mumu said with a smile. She didn’t want people to suffer from the violent energy in the Zombie Crystal Core in the future. It was better to contribute it for everyone’s benefit.

Yin Yang shrugged, eating some bread. He was already hungry after all that work.

With the team’s assistance, the purifying of the Crystal Cores was swift, much to the satisfaction of the Big Black Snake.

On the spot, it swallowed these Crystal Cores and closed its eyes to begin absorbing their energy.

After Xu Mumu had her fill, she took out Crystal Cores from her space storage to compensate for the Yin Family’s losses.

"Sister-in-law, can I pass this Purification Technique to my family?" Qiu Yu asked cautiously.

"Of course, you can. If you want to pass it on, then do it. I believe that one day, everyone will know about this," Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Qiu Yu was very touched. Getting such a technique so early was definitely a great benefit for the Qiu Family.

Moreover, it wouldn’t be fast to spread the Purification Technique nationwide, so having it earlier meant more advantages.

After a day of fighting, there were no more Zombie Crystal Cores left here. Xu Mumu and her team planned to rest here for one night and set off again tomorrow.

After absorbing Crystal Cores for a whole night, the amount of superpower increased slightly, although not breaking through. Xu Mumu wasn’t at all disappointed, as she had just made a breakthrough herself.

With just this day’s battle, she became adept at using her somewhat unstable powers.

Even though the little elf was in seclusion, Xu Mumu could still access her space without any adverse effects. Even the two children remained unchanged, still asleep.

After checking on the two kids, Xu Mumu and her team set off once more.

Sitting in the car, Xu Mumu noticed that only a sparse few zombies were left in Jin City. The Big Black Snake hadn’t awakened yet and was placed on the car by Yin Yang and the others to let it sleep peacefully.

Driving along, they killed zombies and enjoyed a more leisurely life.

By dusk, the car slowly drove out of Jin City, and Xu Mumu and her team reached a small town where surprisingly, many people were around, and the zombies had been completely cleared.

This place had been turned into a small base, right near Jin City. These people were indeed daring.

Had they not taken care of the zombies’ lair on their way here, one level-five zombie could have wiped out this small base.

"Entering the town requires giving up half of your property," a burly man blocked them at the town’s entrance. Seeing their expensive-looking car, he intended to take it from them.

"We don’t plan to stay in the town." Yin Yang responded coldly, noting the greed in those people’s eyes. He’d rather find a place, even camp by the roadside, than stay in the town.

They lacked neither resources nor the need for the town’s supplies.

Watching Yin Yang and his team drive away, the two men were dumbfounded and immediately grabbed their guns to shoot at the car.

But as the bullets approached, they were stopped by a thick wall of ice, unable to penetrate it.

Xu Mumu gave them a cold glare, sending an ice lance that struck right at their throats.

Their eyes widened, dying with grievances.

Xu Mumu didn’t take this small incident to heart and reached a mountain hollow. It was the spot Yin Yang chose for their night’s rest.

It was close to the woods, and with the formidable presence of the Big Black Snake, no mutated creatures dared approach.

The aura from the Big Black Snake fluctuated, indicating it might soon break through. After consuming so many Crystal Cores, a breakthrough was imminent, to the excitement of Xu Mumu, who wondered about the changes that would occur once it reached level eight.

"When will the Snake Lord wake up? Its scales are sharper and denser now," Yin Lin remarked, looking at the Big Black Snake on the car. Since Xu Mumu dubbed it Snake Lord, that’s what everyone called it, and the Big Black Snake seemed to enjoy the title.

"No idea," Yin Yang replied coolly.

After a simple meal, Yin Yang began assigning night watch duties, with Xu Mumu and him covering the initial shift.

Yin Chuchu and Yin Wanqiu, being paired with stronger teammates, ensured their safety.

Once arrangements were in place, Yin Yang gathered some firewood from nearby, to prevent anyone from being endangered while collecting wood if the fire went out.

By the fire, the couple shared tender moments. During the day, they had been busy fighting zombies and hadn’t had the chance to chat properly.
