The Beastn were completely annihilated. Lin Rui gave a grand wave of his hand, and thirteen Little Fishn lined up in a formation, surging into the Beastn’s camp, searching everywhere.
[Ding, the Explorer’s summoned creature found 10 pieces of unidentified jerky]
[Ding, the Explorer’s summoned creature found 17 pieces of wood]
[Ding, the Explorer’s summoned creature found 6 sharp beast horns]
[Ding, the Explorer’s summoned creature found 13 inferior-grade weapons (gray) Undead Short Bows and 200 consumable Bone Arrows]
Watching the system prompts scrolling by, Lin Rui felt calm and unaffected. He had co, he had arrived. In such a terrifying world, how could the Undead Catastrophe be absent?
Various worthless materials from nooks and crannies were collected by the Little Fishn, and finally, the system prompt showed the content Lin Rui had been waiting to see.
[Ding, the Explorer’s summoned creature found 5 tied-up civilians]
[Ding, the Explorer’s summoned creature found 8 tied-up beasts]
[Ding, the Explorer’s summoned creature found 25 scattered skeleton fras]
A Little Fishman that discovered this bounty gave out a joyous burst of noise, dancing around in the pile of skeletons, only to accidentally fall into the nearby boiling pot.
Six or seven other Little Fishn were jumping around beside the pot of rising white steam, ecstatic, their intelligence questionable. They thought their companion had found a new swimming spot, diving with bones, rotten at, and entrails. Look how high and excited they were calling out!
By the ti Lin Rui got closer, the pot had turned into a genuine pot of simring Little Fishman soup, with the Little Fishman’s head stead to mush. The bones of the skeleton were floating on the surface, without a trace of at left. It was evident that even in death, the undead had no dignity, ending up in a pot for a swim and eventually becoming the Beastn’s food.
In this terrifying world, even the undead can’t have peace.
Lin Rui then looked at the various tied-up Beastn spoils. The faces of the five civilians were filled with the joy of survival after disaster.
The eight beasts included wolves, snakes, and battle pigs, all of which were strong-bodied wild monsters. The battle pig was already level ten, about to advance.
The 25 skeleton fras were scattered but not dead; the Soul Fire within the skulls was still burning.
This led Lin Rui to speculate, could it be that when the Beastn eat the undead, they prefer them fresh? Does the undead beco putrid when the Soul Fire is extinguished?
Unable to figure it out, Lin Rui waved his hand and had the knights slay all the wild monsters.
Perhaps the Goddess of Fortune disapproved of Lin Rui’s despicable slaughter, as the drop rate for the 33 wild monsters was pitiful.
"Only" 176 Realm Coins, 286 units of at, 5 pieces of ordinary-level equipnt, 12 pieces of inferior-grade equipnt, and so miscellaneous materials dropped. Not a single piece of green equipnt.
It seems his lovely little wife was getting increasingly outrageous, actually skimping on her man’s pocket money!
Lance cut the ropes binding the five human civilians, and they imdiately knelt before Lin Rui, saying, "Honorable Lord, your iron-blooded slaughter of the Beastman Warband saved our lives. We request to beco your loyal subjects, to offer our ager strength to you and your domain."
[Ding, five wandering civilians admire your strength and request to join your domain. Do you accept? Agreeing to their request will make the five civilians your subjects. Refusing them will turn the five civilians into wild wanderers.]
What to do?
Originally, Lin Rui was ready to accept them. But after reading the introduction, he inexplicably wanted to decline, to see if he could coerce them into becoming wild monsters. If that were possible, he could look for wild wanderers later to fleece them.
But in the end, Lin Rui didn’t take the risk and chose to accept. At worst, he would try it directly next ti he saw wild wanderers. If coercion was impossible, he would have wasted these five civilians. Seeing their impoverished state, with pockets cleaner than their faces, even if they killed monsters and treasures dropped, nothing of value would co out.
Among the five civilians, three had ordinary talent, being featureless civilians.
But there was a talented father-son duo.
[Hunter: Kurt]
[Age: 48]
[Talent: Good]
[Loyalty: 60]
[Level: 7]
[Physique: 14]
[Intelligence: 6]
[Charm: 1]
[Will: 2]
[Soul: 3]
[Commander: 0]
[Luck: 0]
[Life Value: 140]
[Spiritual Energy: 0]
[Trait: None]
[Skill: Wilderness Solo Travel lv10: Years of wilderness survival experience enable them to notice every subtle resource, 30% gathering and hunting efficiency (No one is more suited to managing a Hunter’s Lodge in a domain than him)]
In fact, there is soone more suitable to manage the Hunter’s Lodge, his son, Kaobo.
This little guy is 16 years old but has excellent talent. His physique is already at 13 points. In another year or two, after becoming an adult, he will imdiately be a better hunter than his father, with a physique possibly approaching 20.
Although the world’s forest is treacherous, it is also very resource-rich. Hunters also need to enter and hunt.
A qualified Lord regularly conducts forest expeditions and doesn’t encounter Beastn warbands just a few miles into the forest.
So hunters usually hunt wild animals on the forest’s edge and gather mushrooms and berries.
That’s right, gathering berries!
This is the mainstay of wilderness survival, the main source of food for the domain’s hunters.
Killing beasts? That’s just extra. Like buying scratch cards at a lottery shop. Losing is the norm; if you win... if you win, you continue paying off the mortgage.
Of course, hunters also do not wish to hit the jackpot. Magical beasts have high value indeed, but truly encountering such a high-value wild monster ans they also need to survive to kill it. Hitting the jackpot ans they have an eighty percent chance of becoming the magical beast’s poop.
