Chapter 80: The Charm of a Top Tier Talent, I Love It!
“Wait, don’t go over!”
Lin Ye pulled Adelia back when she was about to move forward to check.
“What’s the matter?” She turned around in confusion.
“That zombie hasn’t lost his breath.” Lin Ye narrowed his eyes. Heart’s Web was pushed to its limit, and through the smoke and dust, he could clearly sense the presence of the Level 4 Venomous Zombie.
Although it was 90% weaker than before, it was definitely not dead.
Moreover, according to the records of the monsters in the Archive, before the death of the Level 4 Venomous Zombie, it would definitely use its sure-kill technique—Venom Self-Explosion!
This skill attacked indiscriminately. As long as something was within its range of 30 meters, it would instantly kill.
Adelia was squishy, to begin with. If she was within the range of the venom self-explosion, she would probably lose her life.
After explaining that to them, Adelia’s eyes widened with fear.
Fortunately, she had her lord to remind her. Otherwise, she would be doomed.
A moment later, seeing that Lin Ye and the others did not fall for it, the Level 4 Venomous Zombie was furious. It pulled out the storm arrows that were constantly corroding its body. Stumbling, it charged madly at Lin Ye and the others.
It raised its head, and its neck expanded rapidly as if accumulating venom.
“Continue shooting. The range of its explosion is only 30 meters. Don’t give it a chance,” Lin Ye said calmly.
Without another word, Adelia and the rangers drew their bows and shot.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Another wave of arrows rained down.
Gasp! Gasp!
The Level 4 Venomous Zombie was instantly shot into a pile, its entire body covered in green blood.
In the end, it stopped a hundred meters away from Lin Ye and the others as it exploded. Dark green venom rained down on its surroundings. Even the low-level zombies that followed closely behind were killed. In the blink of an eye, they were corroded until they were at their last breath.
“Damn it, the corpse of a Level 4 zombie!”
Lin Ye cursed under his breath and clutched his chest in pain.
At Level 4, after converting its corpse, it would increase the experience points of the bunker by a hundred plus points and give him more than 2,000 Zombie Souls.
A great fortune was lost just like that!
“My lord, there seems to be a silver glow!”
At this moment, Adelia called out in surprise.
Lin Ye’s eyes lit up when he followed her finger.
Heart’s Web was still activated. Just now, because of the heartache from the loss, he did not notice. When he took a look, he realized that a treasure chest with a silver glow dropped at the side of the Level 4 Venomous Zombie after its self-destruction.
It was a Silver Treasure Chest!
“Bring it over quickly. Be careful of the corpse poison. Don’t let it touch you.”
Lin Ye commanded cavalry soldier who quickly returned with the treasure chest.
“My lord, we have also obtained nine treasure chests – two bronze ones, and seven sandalwood ones.”
On the other side, the group of wolf cavalry who had killed the Venomous Zombie’s subordinates had also returned. A large number of Level 2 and 3 zombie corpses were dragged behind them.
As for Level 1 corpses, because there were too many of them, without the foot soldiers, the corpses were simply thrown on the ground.
“Not bad, not bad. A small boss in the wilderness is stronger than a Level 1 Haunted House.”
Lin Ye kept all the treasure chests and sighed slightly.
He had read the information in the archive room before this.
A Level 1 one-star Haunted House was not strong. It did not even have Level 3 zombies and relied on the sheer number of Level 1 and 2 zombies to win.
In terms of higher-end combative capabilities, it was really incomparable to the Level 4 Venomous Zombie that they had just killed.
“That’s true, but a Level 1 Haunted House with a lower difficulty is not that bad. It’s our lord who is too strong and rich. On our side, most of the wolf cavalry are wearing armor for Class 3 Protector’s Armor and are equipped with Class 3 New Moon Battleaxe.”
“Higher classes and high-level equipment make those zombies look like trash.”
Adelia smiled and complimented him.
“That’s true.”
Lin Ye smiled and sat back on the back of the giant earth wolf. “Let’s go. It smells like blood here. We can’t stay here for long. Let’s return to our resting spot.”
With that, the group quickly went back to Lin Hai’s territory.
This was the place closest to the Level 1 Haunted House.
Lin Ye planned to establish this place as a temporary resting point so that he could set out and clear Haunted Houses at any time.
After returning to rest for a while, the Level 2 and 3 zombie corpses were thrown into the converter.
The previous batch of Level 1 zombie corpses had already been converted.
“You have obtained 160 Zombie Souls!”
100xReward.
“You have obtained 16,000 Zombie Souls!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your ‘hint’ talent has met the requirements to level up. It will require 10,000 Zombie Souls to level it up to Level 2. Do you wish to level up?”
“Do it.”
Lin Ye could finally confirm that it was because of the lack of Zombie Souls that his ‘hint’ talent became as bad as Zhang Liang’s.
Now, upgrading it to Level 2 would greatly increase its range.
Swish!
A moment later, a tri-colored beam of light descended from the sky and landed between Lin Ye’s eyebrows.
Whoosh—
The invisible domain which represented his ‘hint’ talent expanded rapidly.
From the initial range of 100 meters, it directly increased to a radius of 2,000 meters within the territory.
“You get what you pay for. The feeling of spending money is awesome.”
With the level of his talent increased, Lin Ye was in a good mood.
“Hint: 500 meters southwest, there is a random sandalwood treasure chest!”
“Hint: 675 meters southeast, there is a random sandalwood treasure chest!”
“Hint: 975 meters southeast, there is a random sandalwood treasure chest!”
“Hint: 1,239 meters to the south, there is a random bronze treasure chest!”
…
The 18 treasure chests notifications in a row stunned Lin Ye.
Was this the charm of a top-tier talent?
He loved it.
He secretly clicked his tongue, feeling overjoyed.
No wonder this thing required 120,000 Zombie Souls to upgrade to Level 6. It looked like a huge black hole for Zombie Souls, but the benefits you could reap from it were ridiculous.
There was no need to fight monsters. He just needed to send people to pick up those treasure chests.
With this in mind, Lin Ye got a piece of paper and a gel pen from Zhang Bao’er and wrote all the information from the notifications on the paper.
“Tru, send a few capable people to these places and bring these treasure chests back for me.”
As he spoke, he handed the piece of paper over.
“…” Tru took a look and looked troubled. He smiled bitterly and said, “Our people don’t even know these words. Teacher Zhang Bao’er only taught two classes of Chinese characters. Some people can’t even remember their names, much less these words.”
“That’s simple.”
Lin Ye chuckled and called out to Zhang Liang, who was discussing with Dong Wei and the rest about how to shoot the video of the Haunted House being bombed. “Little Liang, go with them. Any of these treasure chests may contain medicine that can save your father. Whether it succeeds or not depends on you.”
As soon as he said that, Zhang Liang’s enthusiasm was charged to the maximum. He left Dong Wei and the others behind and ran over.
“Rest assured, my lord. I promise to complete the mission!”
This matter concerned his father’s life so Zhang Liang would work especially hard for it. He removed a set of armor from Su Yu and wore it.
Then, he took the piece of paper recording the locations of the treasure chests and brought ten or so Wind Wolf Cavalry soldiers with him as they rushed out.
After Zhang Liang left, with Tru leading the way, Lin Ye arrived at the location where Priest Gran was.
This was a clean temporary tent. Lin One even brought other native workers to set up temporary places for accommodation here.
He glanced at the half-dead Lin Hai and frowned. “He’s still not awake?”
