Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Desecrated Left Arm And Right Hand

After a series of attacks.

The Blood Igniting Demon Skeleton was killed by Zong Shen and the others.

Zong Shen also began to experience the joy of controlling monsters.

[Killed Level 16 Blood Igniting Demon Skeleton]

[Received 880 experience points]

[Obtained damaged Blood Igniting Light Armor x1]

[Obtained a complete Green Soul x1]

[Obtained hard Evil Demon Greaves x2]

[Obtained hard Evil Demon Brachial Bone x2]

[Received Heavy Cleave Skill Book (Green) x1]

With a flash of white light, Zong Shen ascended to Level 6.

Unfortunately, Iron Pole and the wolf cavalry soldiers did not level up.

There were a few gray and white rewards and a green Skill Book.

The other rewards could be put aside for now, but not the equipment and skill books.

Thinking up to this point, Zong Shen took out the green grade [Swift Leather Boots] he had obtained previously.

He took them out of his storage and placed them before him, preparing to make arrangements.

[Broken Blood Igniting Light Armor]

[Quality: Damaged]

[Physical Defense: 30]

[Durability: 50]

[Power Required: 16]

(After experiencing the erosion of tens of thousands of years, the Blood Igniting Light Armor was severely damaged. However, it still possessed good defensive capabilities.)

It was a broken grey equipment.

However, its defense was not bad. It could increase his upper armor by 30 points.

Colby’s leather armor was about to be destroyed, so it could be used by him first.

Zong Shen instantly made a plan.

He beckoned to Colby.

He took out the damaged light armor and handed it to him.

“Colby, change out of your leather armor that is about to spoil. Wear this light armor first.”

Hearing this, Colby rolled off the wolf and obediently took off his leather armor, which only had a few points of durability left, revealing his strong and muscular body.

He put on the [Broken Blood Igniting Light Armor] that Zong Shen had given him.

He bowed to Zong Shen.

[Due to your care and reward]

[Wolf Cavalry Colby’s Loyalty to you has increased by 10 points. Current Loyalty Level: 93]

Zong Shen nodded and waved to gesture Colby back to his original position. Then he began to study the other two green equipment and skills.

[Swift Leather Boots (Green)]

[Quality: Superior]

[Leg Protection: 17]

[Durability: 150]

[Skill: Passive skill Haste Level 1 (Increases movement speed by 5%)]

[Agility Required: 6]

It was an amazing piece of equipment and it even had a passive skill.

His leg protection also increased by 17 points.

It was much better than the [Broken leather boots] on Zong Shen’s feet.

Zong Shen directly chose to equip it.

His leg defense and movement speed had increased.

Zong Shen had changed out most of his “broken” equipment.

It could be said that a bird gun was exchanged for a cannon.

It was so comfortable!

Zong Shen’s gaze shifted again as he looked at the skill book.

[Heavy Slash Skill Book]

[After studying it, you will master the skill: Heavy Slash Level 1]

[Heavy Slash Level 1 (Uses full strength to slash once, dealing 1.3 times the damage. 10% chance to cause damage to equipment and reduces durability to none, Cooldown time: 10 hours)]

[Required Strength: 30]

[(You can only learn this after fulfilling the conditions)]

“Bleh, I can’t learn it yet!”

Zong Shen cursed as he kept the Heavy Slash Skill Book.

Heavy Slash actually required 30 Strength to learn.

Even the current Wolf Cavalry soldiers were unable to meet this requirement.

He could only leave it at the bottom of his inventory.

As for the other gains, he would put them away first and deal with them only after they complete the mission and return to the surface.

The monsters blocking the way had been eliminated.

All that was left was to go to the execution room and search for the body of Ortland Whisper.

Zong Shen led everyone to move aside the iron bars that had previously been used as a roadblock to block the corridor.

He quickly walked into the execution room.

“Tasya, tell your two Skeleton Archers to come in and help me brighten the place before they disappear.”

Zong Shen waved at Tasya.

The execution room was dark.

He couldn’t see anything.

Coincidentally, the duration of the two remaining Skeleton Archers was almost up.

‘We’d better find a strong man to light up the area.’

Two Skeleton Archers walked in.

The dancing red soul flames in their eyes lit up the execution chamber.

The faint red light shone on the wall, and everyone’s shadows were pulled into a strange state.

There were all kinds of torture devices in the execution room.

Those iron torture tools were covered in a layer of thick dark red blood.

In one of the iron shackles, hung two muscular arms.

These two arms were covered in dark red lines.

Similarly, they were also filled with steel nails.

This was a blasphemy ritual similar to the torso.

It seemed that these Blood Igniting Demons hated the Evil Demon Hunter, Ortland Whisper, to the core.

Even after he died, they did not let go of the opportunity to desecrate his body.

This was a ritual that belonged to a dimensional demon, and Zong Shen did not know if the meaning behind it was purely to vent his anger or if he had other motives.

However, as long as he confirmed that there was no problem with the mission and that it was indeed a mission approved by the Overlord System, Zong Shen could complete it with ease.

He hurried forward and focused.

[Ortland Whisper’s Left Arm]

[Left Arm after the Blood Igniting Demon Blasphemy Ceremony, one of the mission items.]

[Ortland Whisper’s Right Arm]

[Right Arm after the Blood Igniting Demon Blasphemy Ceremony, one of the mission items.]

With a wave of his hand, he kept the two body parts into his storage compartment.

Now, he had found three of the six body parts.

He only had his left and right legs and head left. As long as he could collect all of them, this mission would be completed.

The execution room was the end here.

Apart from this, there seemed to be no other place worth exploring.

“Let’s go,” he said. “Back to the intersection in the corridor. Let’s check the dungeon on the left.”

Just as he finished speaking.

The duration of the two Skeleton Archers was up.

It collapsed into two piles of bones, and the execution room returned to darkness.

With that, Zong Shen led the way out of the execution room.

They walked back along the path they had come from to the T-intersection. They headed directly for the dungeon on the left, exploring it.

The layout of the dungeons on both sides were similar. The only difference was that Zong Shen saw that at the end of the dungeon on the left, there was another fork in the road that led to the left. Clearly, there was another area inside the left side.

No wonder the guide suggested exploring the right side first.

This was because the right side was a dead end. After the exploration, they would head directly to the left. There was no need for them to return to explore again and affect their progress.

Ever since they came down from below the Divine Temple’s coffin, they had already traveled quite a bit underground along the corridor. Now, they didn’t know where exactly was above this dungeon.

In any case, he was definitely quite a distance away from the Divine Temple.

Zong Shen walked forward slowly.

On the left corridor were two rows of cells.

He did not let his guard down.

There were many Undead monsters in the dungeon.

Who knew if something strange would appear.

He took a few steps forward, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Boom!

Suddenly, an extremely striking explosion sounded at the end of the left corridor.

At the same time, faint flames flickered.

“Stop first.”

Zong Shen raised his hand and brought the soldiers to a stop.
