Chapter 174 Rice's Injury

The French King was lying down, carefully surveying the surroundings.

Suddenly, it felt a chill run down its back, and it subconsciously got up to see what was happening.

Normally, when the French King moved, Rice would grab onto its fur with its claws to prevent itself from falling, or simply jump to the ground.

But the unconscious Rice fell straight to the ground.

The French King turned its head, and its dog eyes widened instantly; its heart nearly leapt out of its chest.

It was terrified.

How would it explain things to its master if something happened to Rice?

The key was that Rice was with it, and there was no one else around. What if the master thought it had hurt Rice?

Even a dog with multiple mouths couldn't explain that clearly.

It wouldn't become a Dog Elder, but likely dog meat instead.

There was even blood at the corner of Rice's mouth, but the French King didn't think Rice was trying to pull a fast one.

The French King warily approached Rice and gently nudged it, but there was no reaction.

The French King's heart sank. It tried a few more times, but still no response.

It had to tell the master quickly.

The French King grabbed the loose skin on the back of Rice's neck, placed Rice on the chair, and turned to run outside.

When Chen Luo left, the French King had wagged its tail to see him off.

When the master wasn't home, it was the leader.

Therefore, the French King knew which direction Chen Luo had gone and that he certainly hadn't gone far.

Even if it didn't see him, the French King could track him with its nose.

The French King dashed off, its speed increasing with its anxiety, soon surpassing Chen Luo's level five speed.

It looked like a flash of lightning as the French King moved more than ten meters away.

It wasn't teleportation, but its speed was so fast that it resembled lightning.

The French King had actually comprehended a new ability, "Lightning Flash," in this situation.

Meanwhile, after Chen Luo saved Xu Mingqing, he marveled at the realization of Rice's prediction; this ability was too insane.

Could it issue a death warrant in the future, meaning that whoever it said would die, would die?

Would someone who wasn't supposed to die encounter an accidental death if Rice issued them a death warrant?

Rice itself had no combat abilities; it seemed that this was its only way to kill enemies.

If it could, it would be truly unstoppable.

With Rice's ability verified, Chen Luo no longer needed to stay with Xu Mingqing and the others. He turned back towards the base.

He hadn't walked far when he encountered the rapidly moving French King.

The French King's dog face was full of anxiety. It barked at Chen Luo twice and turned to run.

The French King knew that Chen Luo would understand its meaning.

Sure enough, Chen Luo's expression changed, and he followed the French King, running at full speed towards the base.

In less than a minute, Chen Luo arrived at the base. The French King came to the rocking chair and howled.

It really wasn't its fault.

Seeing Rice lying motionless on the chair, with what appeared to be bloodstains on its face, Chen Luo's heart plummeted.

It hurt, it hurt so much.

Chen Luo panicked and quickly came to Rice's side, picking it up and checking its condition.

Chen Luo gently shook Rice, but there was no response. Chen Luo then felt Rice's belly.

Its heart was still beating, and its body was still warm.

It was still alive.

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

How could this be? How could Rice be injured for no reason?

None of the members guarding the gate were injured, so obviously no one had come.

Chen Luo asked with a murderous glint in his eyes, "Who did this?"

The French King shook its head, its eyes confused; the dog really didn't know.

The three Light-type users in the base, Mi Li, Wang Ling, and Liu Qi, had all gone out with the team to prevent injuries to the members and to provide timely treatment.

Chen Luo really had no way to treat it, nor did he have any healing items.

Mi Li was killing zombies not far outside the base, and Chen Luo immediately carried Rice to find Mi Li.

Chen Luo didn't dare run too fast, fearing that the jostling would affect Rice.

As he ran, Chen Luo wondered why Rice was injured.

Thinking of something, Chen Luo's whole body shook. Rice had predicted Xu Mingqing's death, but he had intervened to save Xu Mingqing, causing Rice to be injured?

Wasn't it said that the secrets of heaven must not be revealed?

Did he change the outcome, causing this?

But Rice had made three previous predictions: one about Mi Li, and two about Mi Ling.

Mi Li was in danger at the time, and he had intervened to save her.

No, at the mall, even without him, Mi Li might not have died, as he wasn't far away.

And he hadn't intervened to change anything about Mi Ling.

So, despite the three predictions, Rice hadn't suffered any backlash?

Soon, Chen Luo saw Mi Ling, Mi Li, and Su Dazhu.

Anxious, Chen Luo used Void Walk directly when he was four or five hundred meters away, instantly moving to Mi Li's side with Rice.

Chen Luo was dumbfounded. Could his Void Walk take people with him now?

Even in his previous life, he couldn't do that.

But now wasn't the time to worry about that.

Stunned by Chen Luo's sudden appearance, Mi Li exclaimed, "What happened to Rice?" as she looked at Rice in Chen Luo's arms.

Mi Ling's usually calm face was instantly filled with anxiety.

Without Chen Luo saying anything, Mi Li cast healing spells on Rice one after another.

To Chen Luo's delight, Rice groggily opened its eyes, but looked listless.

Even when Mi Li continued to cast healing spells on Rice, it was to no avail.

Rice weakly said, "I'm fine."

Rice seemed very sleepy.

Mi Ling and the others were in no mood to kill zombies, and the four quickly returned to the base.

Chen Luo saw Ma Yu and quickly said, "Make some fish soup for lunch, and something very nutritious."

Ma Yu didn't ask any questions and went to do it.

After lunch, Rice's complexion finally improved a bit.

Chen Luo cautiously asked, "Rice, how did you get hurt back then?"

No matter what, Chen Luo would never let Rice make predictions casually again, nor would he alter the results of Rice's predictions.

As for unrelated people and ordinary members, let them do whatever they want.

Rice said with lingering fear, "I just had a feeling that my prediction had been changed, and then I fainted."

Chen Luo felt very guilty; he shouldn't have been so reckless.

Rice carefully sensed for a moment and said, "I feel like I'm a center, with three orbits around me. You, Mi Ling, and Mi Li revolve around me, and other people are outside the orbits."

"If the three of you stray from the path, I can correct you, but if others stray, I have to take a big risk."

Rice said strangely, "The French King seems to be desperately trying to run into the orbit, but it's the farthest away from me. If I correct it, I'm afraid I'll never be able to eat fish again."

Could it be that the French King's strength is the strongest?

…

How could I write about Rice dying? Rice is so cute, after all.

This book is a refreshing read; I won't abuse everyone, nor will I make the protagonist make difficult choices. I suffered a loss in the last book and was almost cursed to death. /

Ahem, I wrote too many toxic elements. I can avoid most of them. If I write them, can't I modify them?
