Rumble!
A deafening explosion sounded 500 meters away.
Immediately after, a greyish mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and a terrifying energy tide raged.
The wind howled, splitting the clouds as dead leaves flew everywhere.
“Tsk!”
Lin Ye’s face turned green. He felt bitter in his heart. “I forgot to turn off the lord’s skin special effect! This is f*cking embarrassing!”
A moment later, when everything returned to normal.
All the native workers and human citizens had poker faces on.
Even the zombies in the field within the range of the explosion were extremely confused.
???
It looked like it was a fierce surging tide, but nothing changed.
The only change was probably when the arrow hit a tree and… it ended there.
“…”
Everyone fell silent.
Right at this moment, an extremely exciting shout sounded from the ground.
“The lord’s divine power is unparalleled and has reached the Transcendent Realm. That arrow just now clearly contained supreme power, but with the perfect control, the lord has, its strength laid within. I believe that although the tree which was shot looks unscratched on the surface, its interior has long been destroyed.”
The person who spoke was none other than Lin Ye’s number one lackey, no, his number one supporter.
Tru’s tone was filled with excitement and his belief. He continued in a loud voice, “Our clan’s first supreme elder once said that a cultivator’s main focus lay in controlling their energy. Focus on a single point and reach the peak. He was talking about an outstanding genius cultivator like our lord. Such a person will definitely stand at the top of the world in the future!”
As soon as he said that, everyone looked at each other.
Many quick-witted people were enlightened and looked at Tru with admiration.
They had no choice but to accept it. No wonder this uncultured and rough-looking guy could become the lord’s favorite, personal guard, and commander.
This bootlicking skill was definitely not something one could easily beat.
We are ashamed to be associated with him.
However, the next moment, everyone ‘agreed’ with Tru’s words.
Even the new recruits who were fighting had stopped.
The crowd cheered loudly.
“The world’s overlord!”
“The world’s overlord!”
“The world’s overlord!”
….
“!!!”
Lin Ye silently gave Tru a thumbs-up.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and collected.
Whoosh—
Behind the lord’s skin, the cape fluttered in the wind.
For a moment, it looked extremely impressive.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if the trembling hand behind his back was not hurting.
After all, he had just entered Class 3 and his body had yet to be fully strengthened.
The Wind Splitting Bow devoured the elemental power too quickly, causing his fingers to ache.
After a moment, he felt that it was about time.
Lin Ye coughed lightly to stop the crowd from cheering. “Alright, those who need to fight can continue. The top 49 can exchange their contribution points for 1 Class 3 Attributeless Soldiers Upgrade Scroll. For those who are already Class 3, you’re only allowed to exchange for Magical Armor. It’s decided then.”
With that, he ignored what the others thought and returned the Wind Splitting Bow to Adelia before going to find Priest Gran.
“Old Gu, quick, give me some sacred healing. It hurts so much.”
Knowing that he could not hide it from this old fellow, Lin Ye did not plan on acting. The moment he arrived, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands that were as red as pig trotters.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly. He would have to be careful when he try to show off. Next time, he should just quietly watch others show off instead.
“A small matter.” Gran stroked his beard and chuckled. A ray of holy light poured down from his hand and covered Lin Ye’s hands.
In less than a minute, all the bruises disappeared.
At this moment, Zhang Liang rushed back with the ten or so wolf cavalries. Treasure chests were hung all over the wolf cavalry.
18 Wilderness Treasure Chests, 12 Sandalwood, and 6 Bronze ones, not one more or one less.
“My lord, I’ve accomplished my mission.” Zhang Liang jumped off the Gale Wolf and handed over all the treasure chests respectfully.
“Well done.”
Lin Ye kept the treasure chest into the Civilization Archive and patted the young man’s shoulder in satisfaction.
Young people were indeed efficient.
“Catch it.” He casually threw out a small porcelain bottle.
“My lord, this… this is!”
Zhang Liang’s eyes lit up. He grabbed the porcelain bottle in the air. He seemed to have sensed something and was so excited that he became speechless.
“The antidote to saving your father. A Level 2 Purifying Pill. It should be enough to remove the corpse poison in your father’s body,” Lin Ye said calmly.
Previously, when he opened the treasure chests, this Purifying Pill was among them. It was merely a Level 2 pill so it did not catch his attention at all.
But to Zhang Liang, this was undoubtedly the most precious thing.
He had already promised to save Zhang Liang’s father, so he gave the pills to him directly.
Doing this would also show others that as long as they worked hard for their lord, they would definitely obtain benefits.
Otherwise, even if they were loyalists, there would still be a difference.
“This is more than enough. My dad was bitten by a Level 2 Swift Zombie. This bottle of pills is just enough. Thank you for your help, my lord.” Zhang Liang shed tears of gratitude.
Lin Ye raised his hand. “Don’t be happy too soon. The market trade has yet to open. When it does, go locate your father’s location. If the market trade happens to cover his location, you can consider yourself lucky. If it doesn’t, you should prepare yourself.”
“Yes, yes. This subordinate understands.” Zhang Liang nodded repeatedly. To have hope was already something to be thankful for.
Over the past few days, be it the World or Regional Channel, the number of deaths had increased almost every day. It was too scary.
He was already extremely lucky to have a chance to save his father. He did not dare to hope for anything else.
“As long as you understand.”
Lin Ye nodded, increasingly satisfied with Zhang Liang’s attitude.
At this moment, the system sent a congratulatory message.
“You have obtained 2,854 Zombie Souls!”
100xReward.
“You have obtained 285,400 Zombie Souls!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye turned his gaze to the hundreds of Level 2 Zombie Converters. At this moment, they were densely packed with glowing green particles.
It was the Zombie Souls which everyone was familiar with.
In the underworld, this was their currency. The desire in the eyes of the native workers was evident when they swept their gaze across the Souls.
This was real!
At the same time, this was also where Lord Lin’s confidence stemmed from!
After a while, the battle between the new recruits ended.
The warriors who were ranked at the front changed into the Class 3 Purple Tier Magical Armor.
There were also 49 lucky Class 2 soldiers who obtained Class 3 attributeless soldiers upgrade scrolls.
Dozens of golden beams landed and another 42 Class 3 soldiers were added to the territory. (There was a chance for the upgrade scrolls to fail.)
Once they obtained the records of battle aura, their combat strength would increase drastically.
For rangers, their improvement was limited. After all, he only had 80+ Class 2 Feather Bows. Currently, he did not have much bow-type equipment.
In a few days, when the bunker enters the tribal era, he might be able to develop all kinds of Class 3 firearms.
When the time came, they would exchange spears for cannons.
There was no need to use bows. He could just change them for Desert Eagles or M4A1s.
Combined with the new blueprint for Class 3 Demon Hunters, their long-range offensive power would also increase greatly.
“Alright, everything is ready now. I can start acting strong now!”
