Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Chapter 40, Level 4_1

Chapter 40: Chapter 40, Level 4_1 Translator: 549690339 Was that man in black robe who controlled the crow last night also a practitioner of magic? But when Wu Heng had approached earlier, he did not see him use any spell. All he knew was that he had controlled a crow to charge towards him, which he then smashed to death with his flashlight. This magic wand, unlike the attendant’s cane, is different. The staff is longer with a crooked shape like a tree root, unlike the straight cane that can be used for support. However, it looks pretty good with complex patterns and embellishments of silver on it. The rest of the equipment includes a longsword and three sets of leather armor. The style and craftsmanship are very good, and they would all be considered high-end equipment in a shop. The hand bombs are all “Poison Smoke Thunder”, and there are two scrolls of “Blaze Slash” and “Featherfall Skill”. “Blaze Slash” can attach a fire attribute to a weapon while “Featherfall Skill” is used to reduce damage from high-altitude falls. No one knows who these items came from. “Wu Heng, see what you need.” Autruck said. Eight members of the Church of Divine Punishment, seven of them were killed by Wu Heng himself. The last one, it seemed like Autruck had beheaded him with the final slash, but that guy had already been killed with a pistol by Wu Heng by then, even his experience points had appeared. Autruck didn’t see it and went forward to give an extra blow. It doesn’t matter who killed him, Autruck’s last blow was also quite good, and it would have been odd if Wu Heng killed them all. Even so, the priority to choose the spoils of war was given to Wu Heng. “I want this magic wand, and I want leather armor for Basen,” Wu Heng said directly. The reason Autruck left the magic wand was because it was for him. The leather armor, however, was for Basen. After several battles, Basen’s armor was already punctured. Sending it to the armor shop for repairs would be less beneficial than directly replacing it with a new one. “Okay, Cavina, you?” Cavina took a one-handed sword and a set of leather armor. The remaining suit of leather armor and the two scrolls naturally were left to Autruck. Despite the monetary value of the scrolls and weapons, they were all nearly the same for the three of them. Next, each person received three “Poison Smoke Thunders”, and they also split the bounty and the money from selling the battle spoils. Looking at the heavy bag of money, it had about a thousand silver coms in it. Each person was somewhat happy. Who would hate having more money, right? After dividing the spoils of battle, Autruck continued to ask, “The premium item reward needs to be registered for collection. Wait for my message and we will go together to choose the reward.” “Okay,” the two replied and nodded their heads. After a casual chat about the team’s development, Wu Heng asked directly, “Captain, can I turn Bawudong’s corpse into a skeleton through the guild?” Hearing this, both Autruck and Cavina were taken aback. They then looked at him somewhat surprised. Bawudong was capable of fighting a whole squad of adventurers by himself. If Wu Heng were to transform him, that level of combat power would directly be added onto him, along with Skeleton Basen and their weapons. It was a little terrifying! “I’m not sure about all this,” Autruck said. Wu Heng was different from the ordinary adventurers and his profession was restricted by Black Stone Town itself. After all, many laws had been signed already. Even if the Adventurer’s Guild agreed, but Black Stone Town didn’t, Wu Heng wouldn’t be able to legally get that corpse. Would Black Stone Town allow a Necromancer to have such a powerful undead servant? If that was really approved, many people might lose their sleep. “What if I use the premium item reward to exchange for it? Is there a possibility?” Wu Heng added a condition. -I can’t be too sure about this issue either. I can mention it to the attendant and see what he says,” Autruck continued. Wu Heng nodded his head, he had no better solution either. Upon leaving the Professionals Association, Wu Heng was still considering the matter of the level 12 corpses. He really should have shown ‘Moira’ the handgun, just to leave a good impression. Maybe she wouldn’t have been so strict about the corpse then. But thoughts like that are just idle musings. Even if he did give her a handgun, it might not make a difference in this matter. One step at a time. Not everything is entirely under his control. After returning home, he swapped Basen’s armor for leather and then headed straight for the Zombie World. Zombie World, outside the West Gate. Splash! Crunch! The sound of numerous footsteps echoed from the street ahead. Immediately following this, an entire horde of zombies appeared, rushing forward with furious roars. “Spears forward, fast!” Wu Heng quickly issued his command. These zombies, they were as if they were hiding. They had walked quietly down a stretch of road before suddenly a large group of zombies charged out, not even giving them enough time to form a formation. The spear-wielding skeletons quickly took action and took the very front line, their spears pointed ahead. [Grease Skill] A four-meter square patch of oil was splattered all over the ground. The zombies at the very front slipped instantly and fell flat on their faces. Before they could even recover, more zombies ran over them. And also started falling over in droves. Wu Heng pointed his magic wand ahead, a blue energy spear appeared, flying toward the horde of zombies. With a plop, the spear hit a zombie, forming a blue electric arc hitting three to four targets nearby. Seeing this, Wu Heng was taken aback. This Witch Arrow Skill seemed to have an electric effect; it seemed quite good. One Witch Arrow Skill wasn’t enough to stop the zombies from advancing. More zombies, stepping over the bodies of their fallen comrades, continued to charge forward. With a thud, the zombies crashed directly into the skeleton line, pushing the front row of skeletons backwards. The huddled zombies and skeletons couldn’t form any kind of formation. “Attack!” Wu Heng ordered bluntly. The skeletons also charged in large groups. Waves of the undead crashed into each other, and the sounds of hacking and tearing rang throughout the area. Skeleton dogs weaved through the crowd, Jianyi and Jian’er also joined the fight. In the fierce fight, the skeletons gradually gained the upper hand. [Your level has increased to level 4, Intelligence +1, Physical Constitution +1, Spiritual power slightly increased.] The prompt appeared, his level had increased to four. This eased some of the pain in Wu Heng’s heart due to the death of the skeletons. He had gained increased Intelligence and Physical Constitution. Wu Heng found both of these attributes to be very useful. The battle lasted for some time and gradually came to an end. Corpses and bone fragments piled up like a small mountain, resembling a hell on earth. Bloody from head to toe, the skeleton warriors returned to standby mode. Wu Heng looked around to confirm their safety before he continued, “Basen, go and check out the commercial street.” Basen quickly left and ran off into the distance. Soon, Basen returned from afar, making a ‘no danger’ gesture. “You guys wait here.” Wu Heng told the skeletons next to him, then he said to Basen: “Take me to take a look.” Basen led him forward, and they climbed onto the second floor of a small building, where they could see the commercial street in the distance. What he saw in the commercial street made Wu Heng’s heart beat faster. A large group of zombies aimlessly wandered the streets, their hair dark and matted, human skin, and rotten flesh scattered all over the ground. Were there really that many people dead?
