Chapter 989 - 560: Was Zong Shen Robbed? Waiting for the Right Moment!

Moreover, that light-headed lord was affected by both the [Blazing Flame Burn] and the goblin bomb damage in the recent battle.

His remaining life value wasn’t much to begin with.

If it wasn’t for this guy downing two potions while escaping,

he would have already been on the brink of death.

So after taking this sword hit, he died instantly!

The grassland ox beneath him had also suffered explosive impact earlier.

Its side presented a charred black state.

It looked like a mess of blood and flesh.

There was even a faint hint of roasted meat aroma wafting.

However, a captain-level grassland ox has tough skin and sturdy flesh.

Both life value and armor value are much higher than that of the light-headed one.

So the injuries were not too severe.

After the light-headed lord died, it dragged his body and fled far away.

Taking the surviving wolf cavalry and light cavalry back near the central circle.

Zong Shen wasn’t even bothered with pursuit.

After all, killing them served no real purpose.

Even looting their territory and inheriting their warriors wasn’t beneficial for Zong Shen.

His purpose in coming to this region was pure.

It was to eliminate the Flame Demon Boss here.

That was his major goal.

If successful, he could at least garner two hundred thousand points.

With an additional 15% boost, he could pocket around two hundred twenty to thirty thousand points.

Therefore, Zong Shen’s total score for this round would break through the million-point threshold.

It would be a memorable moment for him!

Take advantage of the current unadjusted Lord System to make a grand move!

In comparison, everything else seems trivial!

Because the gap between both sides is so vast, Zong Shen didn’t even feel the need to act superior.

Just kill them and be done with it.

If he had time to inherit the territory of these lords,

he might as well return to this area sooner.

Let the Guide Module navigate for him, searching for those unclaimed territories of the fallen lords during this round’s Boss slaughter event.

The aggregated value of those unclaimed territories far exceeds these small fries.

Besides, even though he possesses great strength, he doesn’t want to appear too arrogant.

If he continues to linger here, it might arouse exclusion and suspicion from local leaders.

The earlier explosion and flames had already caught the attention of interested parties.

Zong Shen only wants to quietly make a fortune now.

So he dealt with that light-headed lord and chose to return after completing his revenge.

The wolf cavalry he shot down earlier also provided experience value.

Their experience value is equivalent to elite monsters of the same level.

Tier two corresponds to elite-level monsters.

By now, this bit of experience isn’t much to Zong Shen.

Just anything is better than nothing.

The signature troop units of lords throughout the Eastern Avalon area are wolf cavalry.

It is feared that the quantity now amassed by the lords’ hands is at least in the millions.

Zong Shen has no doubt, perhaps all the wolf cavalry warriors accumulated over a millennium by the Desolate Wolf Tribe.

Were all sealed in a Recruitment Scroll.

He isn’t clear on the specific origins, but surely, there’s involvement from the Lord System.

After dealing with these small fries, Zong Shen hadn’t returned to his original spot when Mapple had already approached on a Flying Tiger to support him.

Zong Shen then conveniently landed on the back of the Flying Tiger.

Let it head south, preparing to find an isolated spot to land.

He had already tested it just now. Mapple’s attacks could convert damage to the Flame Demon Boss into his points too!

As soon as this was confirmed, it was enough.

Now he just needs to wait quietly.

They rode the Flying Tiger to a place some ten kilometers away.

There, they found an indigenous village.

This village wasn’t located on the Trade route to Boss Bang.

So it was Zong Shen’s first time here.

The village area was slightly larger than the original Odu Village.

Zong Shen estimated that its population should be over a thousand.

The entire perimeter of the village was enclosed by fencing walls.

At each of the four corners stood sentry towers made of logs.

Like other villages, it also had Tier One militia patrolling.

A vast field of wheat grew outside the village, just starting to bear fruit this season.

There were also some green vegetables.

The village fields weren’t aided by natural magic.

The yield per land was not very high.

However, this world’s handicrafts were very backward.

A large number of villagers engaged in farming.

Coupled with vast lands, the cultivated area was also large.

The civilian grain trade wasn’t prohibited.

Over a year, besides meeting their own needs.

The surplus grain would be sold to traveling merchants or the village’s trading caravan.

The village-owned trade team would uniformly transport them to Bang City for sale.

This was a very common scenario among indigenous villages in this world.

Additionally, there were three small ranches around the village.

And some cattle and sheep scattered outside.

On the surface, it looked like a plain and peaceful small village.

Zong Shen initially wanted to stroll around the village.

Find a modest little tavern for a drink.

But he reconsidered and gave up.

The Flying Tiger was massive, hard to keep hidden.

If he left the Flying Tiger behind and entered the village with Mapple.

If there were any sudden issues with the Flame Demon Boss, he wouldn’t be able to react swiftly.

So he continued flying a bit south.

Not far from the village, there was a small river about three to four meters wide.

Meandering from north to south.

To the south of the village, beside the small river, there was a small forest.

The outer part of the forest showed clear signs of logging.

He let the Flying Tiger land in the southern woods.

From here, taking off to reach the Flame Demon Boss’s refresh location would take only about two to three minutes.

All he needed to do now was wait.

Until the lords in this area whittled down the Flame Demon Boss’s blood volume to about 40%.

According to his estimation, it would take at least an hour and a half to two hours.

He planned to stay in this small forest.

With the guide module, he didn’t need to be there in person to observe.

And he could monitor the exact remaining blood volume of the Flame Demon Boss anytime.
