Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Chapter 37: The First Body Part

[Mission: Evil Demon Hunter’s Obsession]

[Requirements: Explore the dungeon, find the body of Ortland Whisper, and bury it beside the Moon Well.]

[Reward: Evil Demon Hunter Random Skill Book ×1, Elementary Book of Wisdom ×1, Elementary Book of Charm ×1, Overlord EXP ×1000, Team EXP ×500]

(The ancient dungeon had once imprisoned Blood Igniting Fiends. If you explored it well, there would be unexpected gains.)

Unexpectedly, it was really a mission.

And this was a quest recognized by the Overlord System.

As expected of a game of gods.

Zong Shen sighed silently in his heart.

Other than the vague “God”, he could not think of anything else that could explain everything.

“Let’s move forward. The next task is to explore the dungeon and find the body of an Evil Demon Hunter.”

Zong Shen briefly explained the requirements of the mission.

This was because he discovered that other than himself and Tasya the necromancer, the other soldiers could not see the soul of the Evil Demon Hunter at all.

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.

Even the aloof Tasya nodded cooperatively this time.

It seemed that this fellow was just trying to keep people away from her. She had a good impression of ghosts and spirits.

After confirming the quest objective, everyone walked towards the corridor.

As they walked, Zong Shen became interested in the white candles on the dungeon walls that could be lit by themselves.

He turned to look.

He wondered if he should unload a few of them to lead the way for lighting.

They usually lit the wood directly but the smoke was too much.

Therefore, once night fell, the territory would be completely dark.

Unless there were some lighting tools blueprints that could provide a stable source of light at night in the territory.

These candles looked good.

At this thought, Zong Shen reached out and broke off one of the iron candlesticks on the wall.

After the candle left the candlestick, it quickly melted in his hand.

It looked like he would not be able to make use of it.

What about this candlestick?

Zong Shen cocked his head to the side and stopped, pondering whether or not he should let the Wolf Cavalry soldiers dig out the iron candlesticks on the wall.

(Oh! Oh my god! As a Lord, can you not think about how to take advantage of people every day? Walk out of this aisle in one minute, or you will encounter some small trouble.)

The guide’s complaints suddenly appeared.

Zong Shen rubbed his nose and gave up on studying the candlestick.

“Let’s go, let’s continue forward!”

Zong Shen waved his hand. After all, the guide had said that they would encounter trouble if they did not leave the corridor within a minute.

It was a long walk.

Even if there was a candlestick every two meters on both sides of the wall, there was no end to it.

Who knew where this corridor connected to?

Zong Shen sped up.

After a quick walk, he finally saw the end of the corridor.

At the end hung a strange cross.

However, they were still a step too late.

A few black figures suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor.

Their shadows were elongated by the candlelight.

The next moment, these shadows crawled in from both sides of the corridor.

This allowed Zong Shen to see their faces clearly.

There was no skin on their heads, only bright red flesh.

They had a large mouth that almost reached their cheek, and the sharp teeth inside were like the wheel of a shredder.

They were on all fours, completely naked, without any hair or skin.

Their joints were twisted and deformed, and their arched back broke out, extending bone spurs.

They looked like hyenas that had crawled out of hell.

These monsters did not act rashly. Instead, they gradually gathered at the end of the corridor.

At the same time, a few black shadows were rushing over.

They were waiting for reinforcements.

These guys stared viciously at Zong Shen and the others with evil gazes.

“Another piece of trash from the Undead Clan.”

“These rotten creatures, even my Gris is unwilling to devour them.”

Arvid the Wolf Cavalry soldier said suddenly.

Hearing this, Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and focused his gaze.

[Ghoul Level 10]

[Race: Undead]

[Bite Damage: 27 ~ 30]

[Health Points: 200]

[Armor: 0]

[Skill: Frenzy Level 2 (Increases Ghoul’s Attack Speed by 5%, Movement Speed by 5%, Duration: 60 seconds, Cooldown time: 5 minutes) Ghouls (Devouring Corpses to recover Health Points), Passive Skill Corrosive Poison Level 2 (Attack lasts 3 seconds, 3 Corrosive Damage per second)]

(Get rid of these agile little troubles.)

Zong Shen looked at the other ghouls. Their attributes were similar and there were no elite monsters among them.

At this moment, two more shadows crawled over.

There were five ghouls now.

With Zong Shen’s current military strength, he could easily kill them!

“Kill these rotten things!”

Zong Shen pointed his sword and issued an order to attack.

The corridor was wide.

The three Wolf Cavalry soldiers roared and charged forward.

Iron Pole blended into the shadows and moved stealthily.

Zong Shen turned around.

Behind him, Tasya also raised her staff that looked like a tree root after noticing Zong Shen’s gaze.

After a short cast.

Two necromancer arrows shot out!

This was her dual necromancer arrows!

Zong Shen nodded in satisfaction.

He raised his sword and walked forward.

In such an environment, the ghouls had no advantage.

Even though their agility was higher than the previous ones, they were still unable to dodge the Wolf Cavalry soldiers.

And they were all armorless brittle units.

Tasya’s Dual Necromancer Arrow alone could take out more than half of the ghouls’ health points at once.

This time, Zong Shen was very relaxed throughout.

When he walked over with his sword in hand, the battle was basically over…

The life of a Lord was so simple and plain.

[Your subordinate, the Wolf Cavalry, has killed the Ghoul Level 10. You will receive half of the EXP.]

[Your subordinate, Iron Pole, has killed the Ghoul Level 10. You will receive half of the EXP.]

[Your subordinate, the necromancer, has killed the Ghoul Level 10. You will receive half of the EXP.]

…

[Experience Points obtained (170 x 0.5 = 85)]

…

The five ghouls were quickly eliminated.

The battle was as fast as the wind.

Zong Shen quickly looted the rewards. He was not in a hurry to check the rewards. Instead, he walked straight to the end of the corridor.

There was a walkway on both sides of the road. It was a T-shaped intersection.

However, that was not the main point. The main point was that Zong Shen discovered the first body part of the Evil Demon Hunter.

His torso must have been tied to a cross.

This cross was the one hanging at the intersection.

It was very obvious.

On the wall behind him, there was a large number of strange runes that were written either in blood or red paint.

This Evil Demon Hunter’s body was filled with steel nails, as if it had undergone some kind of vicious curse ritual.

Zong Shen swept his gaze over.

Immediately, information appeared.

[The torso of Ortland Whisper]

[Torso after the Blood Igniting Demon’s Blasphemy Ceremony, one of the quest items.]

Zong Shen no longer looked at it. He waved his hand and put it into the storage compartment.
