[Strong Bull Horn Helmet]
[Quality: Ordinary (White)]
[Head Protection: 19]
[Durability: 120]
[Strength Requirement: 6]
(Put it on, and you'll be the coolest guy in the territory)
The horned helmet is made entirely of refined iron, lined with soft leather as cushioning.
At the top, there are two metal-crafted bull horns, looking exaggerated and wild.
Zong Shen didn't hesitate much, directly equipped it, wearing the bull horn helmet squarely on his head.
This piece of equipment perfectly compensates for his lack of headgear.
Next, he started checking the next reward.
[Tier One Spike Barrier Technology Construction Map]
[Construction Technology Blueprint; once learned, you can expend certain resources to add a tier-one spike barrier defense to your territory buildings]
[Effect: Rebound damage 4 points + 2% of offensive damage]
[The spike barrier exists permanently unless the building is completely destroyed]
[(Click to learn)]
(A very useful building technology; it can enhance the defensive capabilities of territory buildings)
Good stuff!
Zong Shen's eyes lit up; he immediately recognized the value of this blueprint.
A blueprint for building technology, and it's defensive. Once learned, it can add a tier-one spike barrier with a rebound effect to buildings.
And the rebound damage value isn't small.
Once the territory has city walls, spike barriers can be added to all walls completely.
Like a hedgehog, leaving no room for the enemy to strike.
Zong Shen directly clicked to learn, and the blueprint in his hand turned into a stream of light, merging into his mind.
After learning, Zong Shen took out two Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scrolls.
"Use!"
Zong Shen thought, and the two scrolls in his hand emitted black light, escaping his grasp, flying to the space in front of him.
Turning into two clouds of black dust, settling on the ground, and then morphing into two hexagram arrays with bizarre runes.
Each array featured a singularity of twisted space, which gradually expanded, transforming into two masses of black light.
Like two massive black eggs.
Next, the black light continuously wriggled and changed like smoke.
Eventually dissipating gradually.
Two tall and robust Wolf Cavalry appeared in front of Zong Shen.
They both dismounted their wolves.
Leading the giant wolves to Zong Shen, kneeling on one knee.
"Wolf Cavalry Avid reporting to you!"
"Wolf Cavalry Bjorn reporting to you!"
Two rugged voices rang in succession.
"Great Lord, wishing you good health!"
Zong Shen displayed a wide smile.
These two fellows look as sturdy as Korby.
"Good, good, get up. From now on, you and Korby will form my Wolf Cavalry corps!"
"Now, first go and join Korby, waiting for my orders."
The two Wolf Cavalry saluted once more, mounted their wolves, and stood in a line with Korby.
Already looking quite imposing.
If Zong Shen could have ten, a hundred, or even a thousand Wolf Cavalry under his command, he could form a Wolf Cavalry Corps.
Zong Shen's mood was quite good.
Started checking the remaining rewards.
[Two-Stage Slash Skill Book]
[Once learned, you can master the skill: Two-Stage Slash lv1]
[Two-Stage Slash lv1 (Instantly slash two blades at the target, each dealing Basic Slash Damage x 1.2, cooling time 15m)]
[(Click to learn)]
(Quickly learn it, your clumsy sword fighting technique is unbearable to watch)
A rare skill book, perfect for increasing Zong Shen's combat power.
Zong Shen didn't hesitate much, directly choosing to learn.
The skill book turned into white light, merging into his head, and for a moment, he seemed to grasp something.
Next, he flipped his hand.
Took out three Skill Experience Books.
[Skill Experience Book]
[Using it will upgrade your skills]
[(Click to use)]
"Use!"
Zong Shen directly used all three Skill Experience Books to upgrade the Two-Stage Slash technique.
Two flashes of white light passed, and the three experience books upgraded the skill by two levels.
Turning the Two-Stage Slash into lv3.
Each level increased slash damage by 5%.
Finally, there was a piece of food and a small jar of wine left.
However, both were of high quality.
Displayed with green fonts as refined-level items.
[Delicious Barbecue Banquet]
[Effect: Restores hunger level by 100 points, attack damage +10%, life value limit +10%, movement speed +20%, duration 15m]
(Excellent food, satisfies all your needs at once; facts prove, delicious food helps in combat)
[Mellow Green Forest Fruit Wine]
[Effect: Attack damage +30%, defense -10%, movement speed -10%, life value limit +20%, duration 30m]
(Excessive drinking is harmful to health, but it can make you happy)
Once all rewards were reviewed, no wonder it was an ancient bronze treasure chest; this wave was a blood profit!
Zong Shen's strength improved again, significantly expanding his fighting team.
The three Wolf Cavalry could already form a coordinated fighting squad.
He thought for a while, carefully kept the silver treasure chest filled with poison gas for emergencies.
Also disassembled the ancient bronze treasure chest into 10 Gold.
"Alright, now let's explore the temple!"
Zong Shen was in a good mood.
With a grand gesture, he pointed towards the temple.
The three Wolf Cavalry took the lead, clearing the path for him.
Zong Shen followed them from behind, entering the temple from the entrance door.
The main building of the temple was already damaged.
This place seemed to have been attacked.
The surroundings were somewhat dark.
Like entering a room with cool-color curtains drawn shut.
Inside were rows of sturdy marble columns, distributed on both sides.
The walls had many carvings.
In the middle was a spacious walkway.
On both sides, there were iron candle holders.
The candles atop them were not yet burnt out.
Most eerie was that at the end of the walkway, a stone coffin was solidly placed.
Many images of demons being beheaded were engraved on it.
Furthermore, next to the marble pillars leaned over a dozen dried corpses.
These corpses still wore their lifetime's clothing.
Some wore leather armor and carried short swords.
Some wore broad priest robes.
Though their clothes and weapons had decayed, they seemed still recoverable.
Just as Zong Shen intended to loot the bodies.
Upon focusing, a golden strategy hint emerged.
(Hey, don't be so greedy, not all bodies are for looting)
As the hint appeared.
Those dried corpses suddenly began to tremble altogether.
On their heads, one by one system name began to appear.
[Resentful Dead lv8]
[Resentful Dead lv6]
[Resentful Dead lv9]
...
All the dozen corpses were revived at this moment!
They raised their lifetime's weapons, staggering toward Zong Shen and the others.
Zong Shen was initially startled.
He took two steps back.
However, he quickly reacted.
He swung forward the one-handed sword in his hand.
"Kill!"
The three Wolf Cavalry and Tiezhu rushed forward without hesitation.
Even Zong Shen himself, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, faced a corpse carrying a short sword!
