NOVEL NEXT Chapter 40, Level 4
Chapter 40, Level 4
The black-robed person who controlled the crows last night was also a magic-type adventurer?
But when Wu Heng was there, he didn’t see him use any spells.
He only knew that the person controlled the crows to rush at him, and then he used a flashlight to smash him to death.
This staff is different from the deacon’s cane.
The cane is straight and can be used as a walking stick, while this staff is longer and curved like a tree root.
But the design looks decent, with complex patterns and silver decorations.
The other pieces of equipment include a longsword and three sets of leather armor.
The style and craftsmanship are quite good, and they would be considered mid-to-high tier gear in a shop.
The grenades are all 【Poison Smoke Grenades】, and there are two scrolls: 【Flame Slash】 and 【Feather Fall】.
Flame Slash adds a fire attribute to weapons, while Feather Fall reduces damage from high-altitude falls.
Not sure who these were looted from.
"Wu Heng, see if you need anything," Otruluk said.
Of the eight members of the Divine Punishment Sect, Wu Heng killed seven himself.
The last one, it seemed like Otruluk delivered the final blow by decapitating him, but by that time, Wu Heng had already shot him dead with his handgun, and even the experience points had appeared.
Otruluk didn’t realize this and still went ahead to finish him off.
It doesn’t matter who killed them; Otruluk’s final blow is fine. If Wu Heng had killed them all, it would have been a bit odd.
Even so, Wu Heng still had the priority in choosing the spoils.
"I want this staff, and I’ll take one of the leather armors for Barson," Wu Heng said directly.
Otruluk left the staff behind primarily for him.
As for the leather armor, it was for Barson.
In several battles, Barson's leather armor had already been pierced through.
Sending it to the armory for repairs wasn’t worth it; it was better to replace it directly.
"Alright, Kavina, what about you?"
Kavina took a one-handed sword and a set of leather armor.
The remaining leather armor and the two scrolls naturally went to Otruluk.
The value of the scrolls is not lower than the weapons, so the distribution among the three was about equal.
Then, they divided the 【Poison Smoke Grenades】, each receiving three, and also split the money from the bounty and the sale of the spoils.
Looking at the heavy money bags, each containing enough for a thousand silver coins.
Everyone felt a bit happy inside.
Who wouldn’t like more money?
After dividing the spoils.
Otruluk continued, "The high-grade item rewards need to be registered and claimed. Wait for my message, and we’ll go together to choose the rewards."
"Alright!" The two nodded.
After casually discussing the squad's development.
Wu Heng directly said, "Captain, can I use the guild to convert Bagdong’s corpse into a skeleton?"
Hearing this, Otruluk and Kavina were both stunned.
Then, they looked at him in surprise.
Bagdong, a single person who could fight against an entire adventurer squad.
If Wu Heng converts him, that combat power will be added directly to him, along with Skeleton Barson and that weapon.
It’s a bit terrifying!
"I’m not sure about this," Otruluk said.
Wu Heng is different from ordinary adventurers, restricted by Blackstone Town in terms of his profession.
After all, he had signed so many bills.
Even if the Adventurer's Guild agrees, if Blackstone Town doesn’t, Wu Heng can’t legally obtain that corpse.
Would Blackstone Town allow a necromancer to have such a powerful undead servant?
If it’s approved, many people probably won’t sleep well.
"What if I exchange my high-grade item reward for it? Is that possible?" Wu Heng added.
"I’m not sure either, but I can mention it to the deacon and see what he says," Otruluk continued.
Wu Heng nodded, realizing this was the best he could do, as he didn’t have a better solution.
......
Leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Wu Heng was still thinking about the Level 12 corpse.
In hindsight, it might have been better to let Moira examine the handgun, leaving a better impression, which could have helped with the corpse issue.
But that was just a passing thought.
Even if he gave her a handgun, it might not necessarily make this happen.
Take it one step at a time; some things are beyond his control.
After returning home, he changed Barson’s leather armor and headed directly to the zombie world.
Zombie World, outside the west gate.
Clattering~!
Dense footsteps echoed from the street ahead.
Next came a large group of zombies, rushing forward with angry roars.
"Spears forward, quickly!" Wu Heng quickly issued the order.
These zombies seemed to have been hiding.
The previous section of the road was quiet, and suddenly a large group of zombies rushed out before they had time to deploy formations.
The spear-wielding skeletons quickly moved to the front, spears pointing forward.
【Grease Spell】
A four-meter square area of grease covered the ground, causing the zombies at the front to slip and fall backward instantly.
Before they could get up, the zombies behind them rushed forward.
They too followed, slipping and falling one after another.
Wu Heng pointed his staff forward, and a blue energy spear formed, flying towards the front.
With a puff, it hit a zombie, forming a blue electric arc that struck three or four nearby targets in succession.
Seeing this, Wu Heng was slightly surprised.
This Witch Arrow seems to have a lightning effect; not bad.
One Witch Arrow didn’t stop the zombies from advancing.
More zombies trampled over their fallen comrades, continuing to charge forward.
Bang~! A zombie directly crashed into the skeletons' ranks, pushing the front-row skeletons backward.
Zombies and skeletons crowded together, and there was no talk of formation anymore.
"Attack."
Wu Heng ordered directly.
The skeletons also charged forward in waves, clashing in the middle with sounds of cutting and tearing echoing through the area.
The skeleton hounds weaved through the crowd, and Sword One and Sword Two joined the battle.
In the fierce fight, the skeletons gradually gained the upper hand.
【Your level has increased to Level 4, Intelligence +1, Constitution +1, Mental Power slightly increased.】
The notification appeared, and his level increased to 4.
This eased Wu Heng's pain from the skeletons’ deaths.
Intelligence and Constitution increased.
Wu Heng considered these both to be very useful attributes.
The battle lasted for a while and was nearing its end.
Corpses and broken bones piled up into small hills, resembling a hellish scene.
The skeletal warriors, covered in blood, returned to standby mode.
Wu Heng surveyed the surroundings, ensuring there was no danger, and then said, "Barson, go check out the commercial street."
Barson quickly left, running into the distance.
Soon, Barson returned from afar, signaling that it was safe.
"Stand by," Wu Heng instructed the skeletons beside him, then said to Barson, "Take me over to have a look."
Barson led him forward, climbing a two-story building from which they could see the street of the commercial area in the distance.
The scene on the commercial street made Wu Heng's heart tighten slightly.
A large number of zombies wandered aimlessly on the streets, their black hair matted, and human skin and rotten flesh covered the ground.
So many people dead?
