In response, the three Wolf Cavalry soldiers quickly closed in on it as they chopped down with their sabers.

The three Wolf Cavalry soldiers used their combat skills at the same time – Horse Blade Slash!

Three silver-white arcs of saber light appeared and slashed at the mutated ghoul’s back.

Three slashing attacks that were enhanced by 1.5 times appeared above its head.

[-85]

[-85]

[-85]

It directly suffered 255 points of damage, and that was because the Mutated Ghouls had 10 points of armor.

Otherwise, these three slashes would have been enough to instantly kill the mutated ghoul.

Now, the mutated ghoul only had a few health points left.

“Let me finish him off!”

Zong Shen shouted and stopped Iron Pole who was about to attack from the shadows.

What a joke!

He would gain half of the experience if he dealt the killing blow to the ghoul while the soldiers who participated in the battle would also get the other half. Zong Shen knew that he couldn’t let this opportunity go.

He quickly stepped forward and slashed!

[-36]

The Mutated Ghoul’s health points were depleted immediately.

It turned into several balls of light that remained floating on the spot where it died.

There was a ball of blue light among them.

Besides that, there was also a man who was covered in mucus and on his last breath.

This guy must have been devoured by the mutated ghoul just now.

Which was why the stomach of the mutated ghoul was bulging earlier.

Now that the mutated ghoul had been eliminated by Zong Shen, he coincidentally saved this lucky fellow.

[Killed Level 16 Mutated Ghoul]

[Received 880 experience points]

[Obtained Mutated Ghoul’s Sharp Tooth x 10]

[Obtained a complete Green Soul x1]

[Obtained Ghoul Ring (Blue) x1]

[Obtained basement construction blueprint x1]

[Obtained Key to the Rune Iron Door x1]

Five white lights flashed at the same time.

Iron Pole, Zong Shen, the three Wolf Cavalry soldiers, and the giant wolf they were riding on had all leveled up.

The Wolf Cavalry soldiers had reached Level 11, Iron Pole had also reached Level 5. Whereas, Zong Shen himself was Level 6, and was now halfway towards Level 7.

Zong Shen took a quick glance and saw that Iron Pole had all added his attribute points to Agility, and the Wolf Cavalry soldiers had added their points to Strength.

There was a small increase in their capabilities.

However, after every long battle, soldiers could also gain continuous improvement in their capabilities by upgrading and changing their equipment.

Thus, Zong Shen placed his attention on the equipment.

There was actually a piece of blue equipment.

This was the first time that Zong Shen saw a blue equipment as an item drop.

He was not in a hurry to check the other items as equipment should be given priority.

[Ghoul’s Ring (Blue)]

[Quality: Outstanding]

[Effect: Strength+3, Agility+3, Health Points+50]

[Skill: Summon Level 10 Ghoul (Summon two normal Level 10 Ghouls to fight for you. Duration: 10 minutes, Cooldown: 8h)]

[Congratulations! It’s a blue-grade item with ‘outstanding’ quality. It’s worthy to be one of your possessions.]

Zong Shen put the ring on his finger.

After wearing it, his Strength directly increased to 21 points.

His Agility became 11 points.

His Health Points also rose to 253 points.

His attributes were greatly improved.

It was indeed a blue-grade equipment.

It seemed to be of a higher grade than green but it should not be as rare as purple.

So far, Zong Shen had already discovered six grades.

Broken (Gray), Normal (White), Superior (Green), Oustanding (Blue), Rare (Purple), Legendary (Orange).

There was already a preliminary hierarchy of quality here.

As for whether there was a better quality above the legendary grade, Zong Shen would have to find more equipment to better his chances of discovering whether there was a higher grade than legendary.

Zong Shen kept the other rewards as usual.

He turned to look at the man drenched with slime.

He was wearing a mage robe with fire runes on it, and he had a short staff with a fiery red gem on it. His equipment looked quite valuable.

Zong Shen wondered if he should take away this guy’s equipment first.

[Dying Fire-type Necromancer: Favis]

[Aptitude: Outstanding]

[Rank: Level 10]

[Attribute: (Click to unfold)]

[Satiety: 80]

[Loyalty Level: 0 (Original owner had died, he is currently in an ownerless state)]

[Takes up 2 Command Value]

[(Click here to save and recruit him)]

It seemed that this fellow was an ex-soldier of the unlucky Lord.

He was a fire-type necromancer.

Unfortunately, he was swallowed by the mutated ghoul.

Without powerful soldiers, the unlucky Lord was naturally no match for the mutated ghoul and was quickly killed.

It was very difficult for ordinary feudal lords to reach Zong Shen’s individual capability.

Currently, Zong Shen’s combat powers were already nearing that of a Wolf Cavalry without a mount.

This had a lot to do with his starting power at the beginning.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be worthy to carry this dying necromancer’s shoes, much more, recruit him.

Zong Shen pondered for a moment before opening to check the dying necromancer’s attributes.

[Fire-type Necromancer: Favis]

[Power: 13]

[Agility: 12]

[Intelligence: 30]

[Charm: 9]

[Health Points: 13/285]

[Mana Points: 27/385]

[Magic Damage: 46 ~ 49]

[Blunt Damage: 18 ~ 21]

[Head Armor: 0]

[Upper Body Armor: 19]

[Lower Body Armor: 9]

[Magic Resistance: 9]

[Skill: Fire Rain (Chanting time: 10 seconds, summon 10 waves of Fire Rain to attack the designated area. Each wave will deal 80 points of magic damage and 8 points of burning damage. consumes 100 mana points, Cooldown time: 30 minutes), Mana Amplification (Mana recovery speed increases by 20%), Small Fireball (Chanting time: 2 seconds, consumes 20 mana points, fires a small fireball, causing 1.2 times mana damage, and lasts for 3 seconds, 0.1 times mana damage per second), Exploding Fireball (Chanting time: 5 seconds, consumes 50 mana points, fires an exploding fireball, causing 1.5 times mana damage and 1.5 times explosion damage, and burning damage for 3 seconds)]

He was very strong. These attributes were basically off the charts.

Especially the Exploding Fireball.

It could deal magic damage, explosive damage, and burn damage.

In terms of skill output, this guy was even stronger than Tasya.

But this was also the distinct characteristic of fire-type Necromancers.

Fire-type magic had extremely high lethality.

Among all the necromancers, it was ranked in the top three.

Zong Shen immediately realized that he had benefited.

Facing such a powerful fire-type necromancer, Zong Shen naturally had no reason to refuse.

He decisively chose to save and recruit him.

[Please restore Favis’ Health Points to above 50 first]

“Lift him up, lads.”

Zong Shen ordered.

The next moment, a few burly men surrounded the unlucky necromancer…

Then, Zong Shen took out a wooden bucket that contained about 80ml of moon spring water.

These were the Moon Spring Water that Zong Shen had taken to trade in the morning. Judging from the small amount, it seemed that he had brought it out here as a backup.

Zong Shen asked Colby to crack open the mouth of this fire-type necromancer before he directly poured 40ml of moon spring water down the latter’s throat.

“Cough cough…”

The fire-type necromancer violently coughed. Then, his consciousness slowly returned.

But it seemed that the fire-type necromancer, Favis, still looked a little disoriented and confused.

“You saved me?”

“Where is my Lord?”

Zong Shen took a closer look at Favis.

He didn’t expect that Favis would be a handsome blonde.

Sadly, his looks might be great, but the smell on his body was repulsive.

The slime emitted a strong stench of decay and sourness.

Zong Shen simply looked at Favis and smiled.

“Heroic necromancer, I am your savior and benefactor…”
