CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 47 EXPLORER NEIGHBOR

After arranging the troops, Audrey came over with her arms full of loot.

"Lord, although the other skeletons were thin and barren with little yield, the blast fall from this Burrow Lord is truly abundant."

Lin Rui accepted the items from Audrey’s arms, and the loot was dazzlingly plentiful.

[Ding, obtained Strategic Treasure: Subspace Tomb *1]

[Ding, obtained Tier Three Rare Weapon (Red) Magic Revelation *1]

[Ding, obtained Silver Treasure Chest *1]

[Ding, obtained Basic Wisdom Book *2]

[Ding, obtained Experience Book *2]

[Ding, obtained Item: Hard Battle Pattern *2]

[Ding, obtained Special Item: One of the Lost Secret Treasures]

[Ding, obtained Spirit Crystal Coin *50]

[Ding, obtained Precious Resource Gems *12]

[Ding, obtained Material: Tier Three Spiritual Gem *1]

[Ding, obtained Material: hard casing *285]

[Ding, obtained Special Building Plan: Blood Transformation Pool *1]

This was Lin Rui’s first time killing a Rare Level wild monster, and the blast fall was surprisingly abundant. He couldn’t help but glance at Audrey, wondering how much loot would drop if he had killed this sandy sculpture. But given her luckless nature, she probably wouldn’t drop much, right?

"Lord, I feel like you’re looking at me with impure thoughts!"

"Hehe, you can only get naughty at night."

Lin Rui quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the attributes of the loot.

First was the Strategic Treasure: Subspace Tomb, a ring. It didn’t provide any attribute bonuses, but it allowed communication with a 100*100 meter subspace tomb. It could be used to store materials or station undead soldiers.

Lin Rui experimented a bit and found that the subspace tomb could accommodate a squadron or store one hundred thousand units of materials.

With this space ring, there was no need to worry about collecting too much while clearing wild monsters outside. It was almost impossible to fill such a tomb. Its true use was to raid a faction’s treasure vault.

Lin Rui stored all the materials in the subspace tomb, then handed the fourteen empty Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouches to Terion. The fourteen pouches could hold seven thousand units of materials, enough for him to pack the loot from clearing wild monsters.

The Tier Three Rare Weapon: Magic Revelation, Lin Rui took a glance at its attributes and decisively put it in his backpack.

𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

It was simply powerful enough to make one’s heart tremble.

This was the first Rare Level weapon for a caster that Lin Rui obtained, significantly boosting his output abilities.

However, it required 120 Wisdom and 120 Will, so Lin Rui had to temporarily stash it away.

Then he used up all the Wisdom Books, increasing his Wisdom Value by two points.

The Hard Battle Pattern, similar to the previously obtained seed of emerald green, could enhance a soldier’s attributes. While the seed added 50 Life Value, the Hard Battle Pattern was stronger, permanently enhancing bodily defense strength and providing +30 to full-body physical armor.

The defense attribute enhancement from a single battle pattern was nearly equivalent to a set of Ordinary Level plate armor for Knights. And it’s stackable: using ten Hard Battle Patterns was equivalent to wearing ten sets of Ordinary Level plate armor. Without the Armor-Piercing Damage Effect, the damage done would drop significantly.

Lin Rui pondered for a moment and decided to grant the battle pattern to Eleanor, the Martial Artist girl with large areas of exposed skin, who indeed lacked a bit of defense.

Finally, Lin Rui looked at the Special Building Plan: Blood Transformation Pool in his hand.

The Blood Transformation Pool is an undead element building, very domineering, capable of enhancing soldiers’ attributes and potential using blood and spiritual gems. With enough resources, it could even upgrade an ordinary zombie to Excellence Level, Elite-level, or even Rare Level! As long as you have money and resources, anything is possible.

But the issue is, it requires an undead element domain to be used, a domain corrupted by the Power of the Undead, becoming a Dark Burial Ground. The Lord must be a vampire, a necromancer, a lich, or a death knight.

Lin Rui met none of these conditions.

Despite having an undead army, Lin Rui differed significantly from authentic undead elements. He could command the undead army solely because he had Audrey.

But Audrey was a living person! She just happened to study dark magic.

In this world, dark magic was not taboo; dark magic, like heaven element, water element, wind element, fire element, beast element, and Jilun element, was openly practiced.

Mages within these schools were all living people or elves.

Moreover, Audrey was different from ordinary Dark Mages; she was a Black Queen Apostle who primarily focused on charm.

Her core ability was summoning powerful troops from the Pitch Black Queen; the undead were merely her playthings for leisure.

Therefore, Lin Rui decided to put this undead element cheat code up for sale at a good price on the market.

After packing away the remaining materials and resources, Lin Rui asked Terion: "Are there stronger monsters in this Burial Ground?"

"This Burrow Lord should be the most powerful undead here," Terion confidently replied.

With that settled, Lin Rui decisively waved his hand: "Then let’s split up; you go east, I go west, and clear all the undead in this Burial Ground. After you’re done, come find me to regroup, and we’ll continue exploring westward."

"Yes, Lord. My blood is boiling, and my warhammer thirsts for slaughter."

"Hehe, then you must resist the thirst. Otherwise, you’ll be tempted by the Blood God." Audrey giggled, poking Terion’s brawny arm with amusement.
