188 Deadwood Village! Quest: Withered Seed!
He could learn Horsemanship directly and could also learn the other skills from the loots dropped by the low-level Undead Knights, other than the fact that the level of “Soul Shattering Roar” was too high for him to learn.
In terms of equipment, the White Platinum-Tier Advance Grade Soul Devouring Spear surprised Zhou Zhou.
There was no other reason.
The effect of this spear was too useful.
The person who had it could fight on the battlefield for a long time and maintain his peak state by constantly killing the enemy and restoring his state.
The only pity was that this equipment’s level was too high.
It could only be used after he advanced to the White Platinum-Tier Advance Grade.
However, he was not in a hurry.
When he first obtained the Sandman Scepter, his strength level was also low and he could not use it.
Wasn’t it also usable now?
He would just take it slow.
In any case, Zhou Zhou wasn’t going to lose this equipment so he stopped thinking about it.
He took out the Yellow Gold-Tier Advance Grade Conqueror’s Blast Furnace and asked the soldiers to retrieve the loot from the corpses of the other Undead Knights.
During this period…
Zhou Zhou also entered the Lord’s residence of the Undead Knights’ Boss and obtained the White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade Territory Token.
“I can upgrade my territory when I get back.”
Zhou Zhou looked at the White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade Territory Token and smiled.
More than 15 minutes later.
All the loot from the Undead Knights’ corpses were extracted.
Under the enhancement of the ‘Perfect Loots’, in total he obtained:
17,584 White Silver-Tier Mist Cores, 3,528 Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores, 36 White Platinum-Tier Mist Cores!
3,021 Gradeless Horsemanship skill books!
3,021 Aurora Spear Technique skill books! (White Silver-Tier, Yellow Gold-Tier, White Platinum-Tier Elementary Grade, White Platinum-Tier Intermediate Grade)
3,021 Aurora Spears! (White Silver-Tier, Yellow Gold-Tier, White Platinum-Tier Elementary Grade, White Platinum-Tier Intermediate Grade)
28,741 Aurora Cavalry Class Change Certificates!
3,026 Aurora Cavalry Recruitment Books!
Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction when he saw these gains.
Other than the White Platinum-Tier Mist Cores that brought him immense joy, these 3,026 Aurora Cavalry Recruitment Books could directly increase his strength by more than 3,000 Intermediate Grade Military Professionals!
They might only be at Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade at the beginning, but now, he had the White Silver-Tier Lord Talent: Blessing of the Ten Gods—the Blessing of War.
These Intermediate Grade soldiers would definitely grow very quickly!
They would become the top Military Professionals under Zhou Zhou before long!
At this moment, Bai Yun walked over.
“Reporting to my Lord.”
“We just cleaned up the battlefield.”
“A total of 4.2 million units of basic materials, three White Platinum-Tier Mist Cores, 12 Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores, 214 White Silver-Tier Mist Cores, 1,452 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores, and 14,424 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores!”
“Apart from that, we also found a batch of normal building blueprints and more than 3,000 sets of old-fashioned equipment for the Aurora Knights.”
“I’ve checked the equipment. Most of them are damaged, and only a few dozen are barely usable.”
Bai Yun said respectfully.
“Bring them all back.” Zhou Zhou nodded.
He felt a little emotional.
The White Silver-Tier Scarlet Territory Lord was indeed different.
The loots other than those from the corpses were also so abundant.
It was completely different from the Green Bronze-Tier and Black Iron-Tier Scarlet Lord Territories that he had conquered in the past.
“Yes!” Bai Yun said respectfully.
A moment later.
The Blazing Sun Army packed up all the Loots and brought them to the Mechanostrider convoy. Under Zhou Zhou’s lead, they headed to the next destination closest to them.
…
Deadwood forest.
On a desolate path.
Zhou Zhou sat on the Mechanostrider and looked at the map in his hand.
The closest destination to them was the Aurora Kingdom’s native village—The Deadwood Village.
According to the information on the map, this Deadwood Village was not very strong.
There was not even a Territory Token in their territory. All the buildings were built by them.
It was said that they came here to escape the war. They originally wanted to settle down temporarily and find a new place to settle down in the future.
In the end, they were trapped here as food by the Withered Demon Tree for more than 10 years.
Zhou Zhou was a little puzzled after reading it.
Weird.
Logically speaking, they should have been killed by the Withered Demon Trees after being trapped for so long.
How could they last until now?
He thought for a moment, but couldn’t come up with an answer, so he stopped thinking about it.
He would know when he arrived.
A moment later.
Deadwood Village.
Zhou Zhou had just arrived with the army.
In the end, he accidentally realized that there was not even a withered tree nearby.
At this moment, he saw a little boy squatting on the ground, as if doing something.
“Bai Yun, Elder Wu, follow me.”
Zhou Zhou looked at the boy for two seconds and asked Bai Yun and Wu Xin to follow him to the little boy after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him.
“Little kid, what’s your name? What are you doing? Why are you so focused?”
Zhou Zhou squatted in front of him and asked curiously.
“My name is Ah Zhuang.”
“I’m planting trees!”
Ah Zhuang pointed at a withered seed in the soil in front of him and said seriously.
“Planting trees?”
Zhou Zhou and the other two were stunned.
This seed was clearly dead. How could it grow trees?
“Mhm.”
“My grandfather said before.”
“Our lives will definitely change drastically when we can see green trees.”
“I don’t know what the change is but Grandpa seems to want to see it.”
“So I want to give it a try.”
“By the way, who are you? Where did you come from? Why have I never seen you before?”
After saying that, the little boy realized that they were a group of strangers and asked blankly.
“We’re from outside.”
Zhou Zhou was stunned for two seconds before nodding.
“Outside?”
“Are there green trees outside?”
The little boy was stunned. Then, his eyes lit up with anticipation.
“Yes.”
Zhou Zhou said.
The little boy was stunned for two seconds before quickly standing up.
“Then can you take me to take a look?”
“By the way, I can also give you a small stone.”
“You adults seem to like this.”
Then.
He took out a Black Iron-Tier Mist Core and handed it to Zhou Zhou. Then, he looked at him expectantly.
Bai Yun and Wu Xin looked at the Black Iron-Tier Mist Core in Zhou Zhou’s hand with strange expressions.
Zhou Zhou did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He was the number one human Lord on the Cerulean Planet after all. This boy wanted him to do something with just a Black Iron-Tier Mist Core?
At this moment, lines of text appeared.
[Ah Zhuang has issued a Quest to you!]
[Quest Name: Withered Seed]
[Quality of Quests: Gradeless – Normal]
[Quest Content: The little boy, Ah Zhuang’s grandfather, is already old. He knows that his lifespan is coming to an end. He wants to see the green tree he saw when he was young before he dies. Ah Zhuang happened to know his grandfather’s wish, but he is unable to fulfill it. Can you help him fulfill his grandfather’s wish?]
[Mission Reward: One Black Iron-Tier Mist Core and Ah Zhuang’s friendship.]
Zhou Zhou looked at the mission that suddenly appeared in front of him.
Gradeless, Normal…
Zhou Zhou sighed.
This was the lowest-level Quest he had ever seen.
At the same time…
Ah Zhuang saw that Zhou Zhou did not take the Black Iron-Tier Mist Core for a long time. In addition, Bai Yun and Wu Xin had faint smiles on their faces.
For some reason, his young heart felt ashamed inexplicably.
“Sorry to disturb you…”
Ah Zhuang held back his tears and was about to take back the Black Iron-Tier Mist Core.
Zhou Zhou’s voice sounded.
“Leave this small stone for me.”
“I like your payment very much.”
“Don’t worry.”
“I will bring the thing you want to you!”
He said seriously.
Ah Zhuang was stunned and suddenly felt unprecedentedly happy.
Zhou Zhou smiled.
He naturally did not care about remuneration.
However, the little boy’s innocence, kindness, and filial piety were very rare.
This made it impossible for him to refuse this quest.
After that, Zhou Zhou asked Ah Zhuang to bring them to the village.
