Captain-rank sutured monster, Bato, gave Zong Shen another wave of warmth. However, these rewards were mainly blueprints and books.

Zong Shen decided to keep and check their details when he was preparing to return.

The only piece of equipment seemed to be the Butcher Knife in Bato’s hand.

Zong Shen took it out and held it in his hand, but it almost slipped from his hand.

With Zong Shen’s current strength of 21 points, it was extremely strenuous to hold it with one hand.

He could only lift it up with both hands.

However, if he wanted to use it to slash freely, he would need at least 35 points of Strength.

The blade was as wide as Zong Shen’s body.

[Cruel Butcher Knife (Blue)]

[One-handed/Two-handed]

[Quality: Outstanding]

[Cleave Damage: 42 ~ 48]

[Attack Range: 55]

[Attack Speed: -8%]

[Durability: 220]

[Skill: Random Slash (Three slashes in 3 seconds, each slash deals 1.5 times the damage)]

[Strength Required: 38]

“D*mn, it’s awesome!”

This butcher knife was simply a killing weapon.

He could use it with both one and double hands.

Unfortunately, the required strength was as high as 38 points, and neither Zong Shen nor the Wolf Cavalry soldiers met the requirement.

He could only keep it or consider selling it in the market.

Zong Shen put away the butcher knife.

He looked at the last body part of the Evil Demon Hunter.

The head of Ortland Whisper.

[The head after the Blood Igniting Demon’s Blasphemy Ceremony and suturing experiment, one of the quest items.]

He put it away.

At this point, the six body parts of the Evil Demon Hunters have been collected.

Now, he only needed to bring it back to his territory and bury it beside the Moon Well.

After Sutured Monster Bato was eliminated by Zong Shen, rays of light shone down on the entire dungeon.

Wisps of black smoke rose from the light rays before disappearing.

Under the light, Zong Shen felt warm and comfortable all over.

[Due to your bravery, this dungeon has regained its light. The shadow of death has dispersed, and the souls of countless elves have been given their well-deserved eternal rest.]

[You have received the blessings of the departed spirits of the elves, which will last for three days.]

[Blessing of the Undead Elves]

[Effect: Rare item drop rate +5%, Fatigue -50%, Attack+10%, Defense+10%]

This was an unexpected surprise.

He received an additional buff as a reward after clearing this dungeon.

This dungeon had already been completely conquered and there was no longer any value in staying here.

He glanced at his watch.

It was already noon.

More than six hours had passed since they set off at 6 am.

Everyone was still hungry, so Zong Shen decided to change his schedule for the day.

He decided not to continue with the exploration.

Zong Shen decided that he would first accept the territory and inheritance of the unfortunate Lord and take away the farmers in the land.

After that, he planned on preparing for the expansion of his territory.

At the same time, he sorted out the rewards that he had obtained during the first half of the exploration.

The construction was about to begin.

At the thought of this, Zong Shen turned to look at the fire-type necromancer, Favis and said.

“Now, Favis, take me to your previous Lord’s land and let me take away those poor farmers.”

Favis nodded and bowed.

“My Lord, please follow me.”

“We found a simple entrance in the ruins and came here.”

“Please follow me.”

His attitude was very respectful.

After fighting side by side for such a short period of time, Zong Shen had used his own strength and ability to gain Favis’ approval.

Compared to his previous master who was already dead…

His current master’s ability was indeed much stronger.

He might really be able to lead him to regain his lost glory.

Zong Shen nodded and followed Favis back to the dungeon on the left.

In one of the cells, a passageway with a diameter of about two meters was dug out just like the guide had suggested.

This tunnel winded upwards. It was barely enough for a single person to pass through.

There were already some obvious signs of collapse in the tunnel, as well as some traces of reconstruction.

It was obvious that the unfortunate Lord had spent some effort to reopen the tunnel after discovering it.

After carefully passing through the tunnel.

Everyone stood outside the ruins.

They were still surrounded by mountains and forests, but the terrain was more flat.

From the looks of it, this place belonged to a flat area on the mountainside.

The ground beneath their feet was littered with debris from the buildings that were piled up together. Some thick bushes and weeds grew out from the gaps between the buildings.

“Lord, my previous Lord’s territory is there.”

Favis raised his hand and pointed in a direction. In his field of vision, Zong Shen could see the broken courtyard that was labeled by the Lord.

Outside, a few farmers were diligently harvesting.

They seemed to be unaware that their Lord had already died in the dungeon.

The small courtyard was less than three kilometers away from their current position. It would only take them a few minutes to walk over.

About five to six minutes later, Zong Shen and the others arrived outside the lord’s courtyard.

Zong Shen was surprised to find that the unlucky Lord also had five farmers.

Apart from the three farmers that he started with, he had recruited two more.

The five farmers who were harvesting also saw them and immediately stopped harvesting. They stood up nervously and immediately fled back into the small courtyard.

Zong Shen and the others looked aggressive and intimidating.

Especially the few Wolf Cavalry soldiers, who had a huge wolf underneath them, baring its fangs and claws. One look and one could tell that they were not to be trifled with.

Until they saw Favis…

A slightly bolder farmer stood in the doorway and called out.

“Why are you with strangers, Master Favis?”

“Where’s our Lord, Zhang Song?”

Favis stepped forward and began to explain.

“The previous Lord was torn apart by the monsters in the dungeon. I almost died in the hands of the monsters.”

“Fortunately, I met Lord Zong Shen.”

“These are all Master Zong Shen’s soldiers. Master is here to save you guys.”

“Without the protection of the Lord, it will be difficult for us to survive in this wilderness.”

Favis said quickly.

The farmers in the small courtyard looked at each other.

But no one took the first step.

“The Lord is dead?”

They seemed disturbed.

At this moment, Zong Shen smiled and walked straight into the small courtyard.

When the farmers saw this scene, it was as if they had seen a ghost. They screamed and curled up in a corner.

In their eyes, no outsider was allowed to set foot in the small courtyard. But now, this rule seemed to have changed.

After the unfortunate Lord died, this small courtyard was no longer protected by the beginner’s protection rules!
