Chapter 119: Chapter 118, Throwing Axe or Spear_1

Slyther held onto the letter as she returned to her study.

She reclined behind her desk, releasing a slow sigh.

Black Stone Town had been tranquil these past few days. There were no significant events, nor were there any felons or cultists flocking to this remote town.

The matters she dealt with were also just some local peacekeeping issues.

It was as if… after that lad left, the entire city and its surroundings had calmed down.

Of course, this was a good thing.

It was good for her as the steward and also for the city residents.

She glanced at the letter on the side.

She carefully broke the wax seal and opened the envelope.

“What ugly handwriting!”

She took the letter out, all scrawled with some characters.

Just by seeing the first line, she knew who had written the letter to her.

‘Arrived at Lundham City, appointed as the captain.’

The only person who went to Lundham City to become a captain would be Wu Heng.

He even wrote a letter to her…

The letter was not long. It occupied only half a page. Slyther leaned back in her chair, her long legs crossed on the desk edge. Her short boots dangled off her toes as she was engrossed in deciphering the handwriting.

Then, she saw about the Ghost Hag who disguised herself as a nun to seduce tradesmen and the pervert who enjoyed torturing and murdering women.

They were all defeated by his brave prowess.

Regarding this first point, Slyther did not disagree. Even though Wu Heng had been a professional for a short amount of time.

He genuinely possessed some abilities that ordinary people did not.

She did not expect that he had just been gone for a few days but already bumped into so many incidents.

As she continued reading, Slyther’s brow furrowed slightly.

Something felt wrong.

If the content above was about a subordinate reporting to a former leader, the words following it were somewhat off.

Nostalgic about their past times, being mindful of safety, visiting here often to spend a few days…

Slyther, a mature woman who managed an entertainment place like Money Cat, was not unfamiliar with matters regarding men and women.

“He’s grown a little too bold,” Slyther muttered to herself.

However, her face still felt a little hot. She hastily fanned her face.

She folded the letter back into the envelope, placed it in the drawer, took out a new sheet of paper and envelope, and began to write, deep in thought.

After finishing, Slyther nodded satisfactorily.

Thud~!

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Yuli, leaning by the door, asked, “Auntie, let’s go to the black market tonight!”

Slyther was startled, and the hand holding the pen trembled slightly.

“Auntie is writing a letter, who are you writing to?” Yuli asked, leaning further in.

“An old friend,” Slyther quickly folded the letter and tucked it into the envelope, continuing, “You young lady, what do you always want to do in the black market? You should go there less.”

“Alright, Auntie, the city is too boring. We have nothing to do at night anyway, let’s go take a walk!” Yuli pleaded.

Slyther glared at her, “Wait at the door. We will have dinner together before going.”

“Okay!” Yuli said obediently as she quietly closed the door.

Slyther sealed the envelope with wax, held it in her hand, put on her shoes, and went out.

Yuli approached immediately and held her hand.

As they walked past the lobby, she passed the letter to the front desk.

They walked out, arm in arm with Yuli.

…

They returned to their neighborhood.

Wu Heng immediately had the skeleton drag the giant zombie’s corpse before him.

The Bone Manipulation Skill was released, necromancy wrapped the corpse entirely.

The next second, a towering skeleton stood up.

With robust, thick bones, it was nearly three meters tall, with arms that were longer than its legs.

Skeleton Warrior (Level 11)

The level was the same as the Big Guy’s, but all the attributes had increased by 3 to 5 points.

“From now on, you are called Second Chunk. Go stand aside,” Wu Heng told the giant skeleton.

The massive skeleton walked to one side and stood with the Big Guy.

They could distinguish some differences when the two stood together.

Second Chunk was a bit taller, and his skeletal structure was more robust.

Seeing this, Wu Heng couldn’t help but suspect that zombies were becoming stronger over time. Whether by feeding or some other means, they were gaining strength.

The skeleton walked out, and Wu Heng squatted down to search through the shredded flesh.

He found a level two Corpse Core.

This was what he needed the most.

“Call the alchemist skeleton over.”

Soon, the dwarf skeleton walked out of the corridor.

Wu Heng handed the Corpse Core to it and said, “Research this. Does the previous formula still work?”

The dwarf skeleton respectfully accepted and returned to the corridor with the Corpse Core.

With his skeleton that knew Alchemy, there was no need to release a commission anymore.

Not only was this convenient for him, but it also helped him guard some secrets better.

After giving the orders about the Corpse Core,

Wu Heng looked around to assess the situation.

He continued to stand in front of the pile of corpses, releasing Dead Bones Battlefield, where a large number of skeletons stood up from the ground, their hollow eye sockets looking around.

“Stand over there,” Wu Heng commanded.

The skeletons slowly walked into the skeleton lineup.

Wu Heng sat down and rested in the original place, drank two more bottles of Spirit Potion, continued to release the skill, and converted the skeletons.

The harvest this time was significant.

Aside from the level 11 skeleton, the number of ordinary skeletons was at least over one thousand.

And the overall number of skeletons was approaching ten thousand.

It can be said that the number of skeletons indeed looked like an army now.

He continued to convert skeletons until late at night. He had converted every corpse.

Wu Heng reopened the boundary door and went back to rest.

…

The next morning,

After quickly eating some instant noodles, Wu Heng directly headed to the association.

Upon entering the team’s resting room, he saw the Beastman Duke sitting there, gnawing on something that seemed like sweet potatoes.
