Chapter 109
The Thunderbolt King was comfortably lying down, vigilantly surveying the surroundings. Suddenly, he felt a chilling sensation on his back and instinctively stood up to see what was happening.
Under normal circumstances, Rice would use its claws to grip onto the Thunderbolt Kings fur to prevent itself from falling or simply jump to the ground. However, the unconscious Rice had fallen to the ground.
The Thunderbolt King turned to look, and in an instant, his dog eyes widened, and his heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest. He was terrified.
If something happened to Rice, how would he explain it to his owner? Moreover, Rice was alone with him, and there was no one around. What if his owner thought he had harmed Rice? Even with several mouths, he couldnt explain it.
The Elder Dog was not cut out for this; he was afraid he might end up as dog meat.
Rice had blood at the corner of its mouth, but the King of the Law hadnt jumped to conclusions about Rices injury-faking scheme yet.
The Thunderbolt King, trembling with fear, cautiously approached Rice and gently touched it, but there was no response.
The Thunderbolt Kings heart sank halfway, and he tried a few more times, but still no response.
He needed to inform his owner quickly.
The Thunderbolt King gripped the soft skin on Rices neck, placed Rice on a chair, and then dashed outside. When Chen Luo left, the Thunderbolt King had joyfully wagged his tail, bidding Chen Luo farewell. When the master is away, I am the leader.
So, the Thunderbolt King knew which direction Chen Luo had gone and was certain he hadnt gone far. Even if he didnt see him, the Thunderbolt King could track him by scent.
The Thunderbolt King ran directly towards Chen Luo, his heart filled with anxiety. His speed increased rapidly, soon surpassing that of Chen Luo, who was at the fifth level. It appeared as if a lightning bolt streaked by, and the Thunderbolt King moved dozens of meters in an instant.
It wasnt teleportation but simply a result of his incredible speed, resembling a lightning strike. In this situation, the Thunderbolt King unexpectedly comprehended a new ability, Flash of Lightning.
Meanwhile, after Chen Luo had saved Xu Mingqing and witnessed Rices accurate prediction, he marveled at how bizarre this ability was. Could he, in the future, send death notices to people, and they would just drop dead?
If someone who wouldnt have died otherwise received a death notice from Rice, would they still meet an untimely demise?
Rice had no combat abilities of its own, so this might be its only means of defense. If this were possible, it would truly be an unbeatable power.
Having verified Rices ability, Chen Luo saw no need to continue accompanying Xu Mingqing and the others. He turned back and headed in the direction of the base.
Not long after, Chen Luo encountered the fast-moving Thunderbolt King. The dogs face was filled with anxiety, and he barked twice at Chen Luo before turning and running.
The Thunderbolt King knew Chen Luo would understand its meaning. Indeed, Chen Luos expression changed, and he followed the Thunderbolt King, sprinting at full speed towards the base.
Suddenly appearing, Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, but when Mi Li saw Rice in his arms, she exclaimed, What happened to Rice?
Even Mi Lings usually calm face instantly filled with deep concern.
Without waiting for Chen Luo to explain, Mi Li immediately started using healing magic on Rice repeatedly.
To Chen Luos great relief, Rice opened its eyes drowsily, though it seemed completely devoid of energy. Even with Mi Lis continued healing magic, it had no effect.
Rice weakly said, Im fine.
Rice appeared extremely drowsy.
Mi Li and the others didnt have the heart to deal with zombies any longer and hurried back to the base.
Chen Luo, upon seeing Ma Yu, quickly said, Make some fish soup for lunch and prepare something nourishing.
Ma Yu didnt ask any questions and got to work promptly.
After lunch, Rices condition finally improved slightly. Chen Luo cautiously asked, Rice, how did you get injured?
In any case, Chen Luo dared not let Rice make predictions casually anymore, and he certainly wouldnt tamper with the results of Rices predictions. Unrelated people, ordinary members, could do as they pleased.
Rice spoke with lingering fear, I had a feeling that my prediction was altered, and then I passed out.
Chen Luo felt deeply remorseful for his reckless actions.
Rice carefully explained, I feel like Im at the center with three tracks around me, and you, Mi Li, and Mi Ling orbit me, while the others are outside those tracks. If the three of you deviate from your paths, I can correct it, but if others deviate, I would be at great risk.
Rice added in a strange tone, The Thunderbolt King seemed to be desperately trying to enter the tracks, but it was actually the farthest from me. If I were to correct its path, Im afraid Id never get to eat fish again.
Could it be that the Thunderbolt King had the strongest abilities?
How could anyone harm Rice, especially when Rice was so adorable?
This story is meant to be enjoyable, without causing distress to the readers or forcing the protagonist into difficult choices. I learned my lesson from the last book; I almost got roasted alive. *Cough cough* With fewer toxic elements, I can avoid most of them, and in case any do pop up, I can always make edits, cant I?
