“Keng-keng, come here and pour the water in that field,” Lin Qiao said to the water-powered zombie queen who was standing on a nearby tree and watching the dog.
Keng-keng swiftly leaped off the tree and landed by Lin Qiao’s side. As he swung an arm, the water gushed out of the bucket, rose into the sky, and then drifted to the field nearby. She then raised both hands with palms held together, and then spread her arms.
Following her movement, the water in the air spread out thin and wide, floating over the sweet potato field like a transparent cover.
After that, she swung her arms again, as if she was trying to get rid of some water from her hands. Along with her move, the water fell from the sky and splashed to every corner of the field.
Xiao-xiao stood behind Lin Qiao as she curiously watched Keng-keng control the water. That was so interesting to her.
At that time, Lin Qiao put some more water into the bucket, then cut her finger. A drop of blood dripped from her finger into the bucket, merging with the water.
The moment her blood dripped, Xiao-xiao, Keng-keng, Black, and the zombie dog turned and ran simultaneously.
“Owooo…”
“Bowwow! Get back here! Where are you going!” Lin Qiao turned and yelled at Bowwow, who was rus.h.i.+ng straight toward the woods. Then, she murmured, “This is good for you guys. Why do you always act like it’s a monster?”
“Owoo!” The zombie dog’s skin had been healed. Even though it was still furless, it looked much better than before. Hearing Lin Qiao’s voice, the zombie dog froze. Even though it was already a level-six zombie beast, it still obediently turned around and walked toward Lin Qiao in two or three seconds, with its head and tail dropped.
Lin Qiao stirred the water with her hand and said, “Come on. It has merged into the water.”
The zombie dog carefully moved closer to the bucket and alertly stared at the water in it. Gradually, the fear on its face was replaced with curiosity. Soon, it couldn’t help but lean its head forward to look at the water.
Lin Qiao’s blood had merged into the water, so the dangerous vibe that it gave out had mostly faded. Currently, that vibe couldn’t threaten the zombie beasts at or above level-five.
At that time, Xiao-xiao stuck her head out from behind the cabin and popped her black eyes as she looked at the bucket curiously and vigilantly.
“Get in,” Lin Qiao pointed at the bucket and said to the zombie dog. Meanwhile, she was ready to press the dog into the bucket.
The zombie dog looked at her with hesitation. It wasn’t willing to get into the bucket! As a zombie beast, it was more sensitive to dangers than human beings by many times over. It was already difficult for the dog to get close to the bucket. How could it possibly get inside?
The water in the bucket didn’t attract the dog like the first bucket of water. Instead, it contained the strong, aggressive vibe from Lin Qiao.
“Get in,” Lin Qiao hastened the dog.
“Owooo!” The dog moaned to her, holding its tail tightly between its legs.
“It’ll be alright! Get in. Do you want fur or not?” Lin Qiao lured the dog, even though she didn’t know if her blood could make the dog’s fur grow back out. She had never tried bathing. Before, she usually made the other zombies drink the diluted blood.
“Owo!” ‘I don’t want to!’
The zombie dog rejected straightforwardly.
“Get in! Do you want me to make you?” Lin Qiao finally lost her patience. She raised a hand as she popped her sharp and s.h.i.+ny nails.
Seeing those, the zombie dog was frightened immediately.
“Owo…” It lowered its head and uttered a sad moan, then turned and looked at the water in the bucket a it made two steps backward. After that, it slightly raised its forelegs, prepared to jump, but didn’t do it. Then, it prepared itself again, but still paused before jumping.
That process was repeated a few times. At last, the dog finally clenched its teeth and leaped into the bucket.
Plop! The dog fell into the bucket.
“Owoo!” Right after that, it opened its mouth wide and uttered a scream, then turned and attempted to get out. However, Lin Qiao pressed it down in the bucket, even disabling it from moving.
“Owooooo…” The zombie dog started struggling and roaring.
Xiao-xiao was frightened by the dog’s shrill screams. She instantly shrank behind the cabin and disappeared.
“Owooo…” The zombie dog struggled in the bucket, yet Lin Qiao pressed it firmly down, not letting it get out.
Perhaps, Lin Qiao had dripped too much blood into the water, or the bathing was probably not an effective way. The zombie dog spent two whole hours roaring and struggling in the bucket. After that period, it finally floated in the bucket quietly like a dead dog.
Lin Qiao didn’t drag it out of the bucket, but let it float in the water.
Two figures landed by her sides. “What are you doing? Killing the dog?” Yun Meng looked at the dead-like dog in the bucket with surprise.
Once she finished talking, the almost-dead dog in the bucket suddenly twitched and turned as it woke up. After waking up, Bowwow was much calmer than before, because the threatening vibe in the water was gone, and so was the pain. The dog floated in the water and pulled the water with its four limbs. Then, it abruptly spread its limbs and stood on the bottom of the bucket. Following that, it sat down and raised its head as it opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, looking at Lin Qiao. It seemed to have remembered something.
“Alright, you can come out,” Lin Qiao said to the dog.
Hearing that, the dog instantly leaped out of the water.
“Keng-keng!” Lin Qiao turned and said to the air. Following her voice, Keng-keng showed up from nowhere.
She understood what Lin Qiao wanted. This time, she emptied the bucket before Lin Qiao even gave an order. However, she didn’t get too close to Lin Qiao, but stood on a tree which was located in a distance away and released her power.
“It upgraded!” Qiu Lili looked at Bowwow curiously, then nodded and continued, “It’s powerful!”
Lin Qiao squatted beside Bowwow and touched its skin. The dog’s skin was no longer dry and rough, but was soft and smooth.
“Oh, all the wounds have been healed. It’s not ugly anymore!” Yun Meng was also looking at the zombie dog. “Will its hair grow out?” She asked.
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “I think it will. Come and touch it.”
She turned and looked at Yun Meng. The dog’s skin had become tight, soft, and smooth, also downy, as if its hair had started to grow.
Therefore, Lin Qiao believed that the dog’s hair would grow! Its skin had been activated. That was still not like the skin of a healthy dog, but it was no longer lifeless.
“Really?” Yun Meng came closer with curiosity, then reached out to touch the dog. The dog’s soft and smooth skin felt very nice.
“Oh, it feels good!” She said delightfully.
Hearing her, Qiu Lili quickly came over to feel the dog’s skin.
“Owooo…” The zombie dog wore a depressed look as the two girls were stroking its back. However, facing the three powerful beings, it did not dare to misbehave!
