Chapter 311: Chapter 256, Magic Arrow
Qiangzi thought for a moment and asked, “Your Majesty, do you mean that the Skeleton Flying Dragon kills zombies too slowly?”
“Yes, during this time, think about how to improve the Flying Dragon,” Wu Heng said directly.
The battle style of the Skeleton Flying Dragon last night was very obvious.
It plunged down, tore zombies to shreds in the sky, or simply threw them to the ground to crush a crowd of zombies to death.
In terms of attributes, there was no problem at all with killing ordinary zombies.
But speaking of efficiency, it was somewhat too low.
The Flying Dragon didn’t just snatch them into the sky and drop them to their deaths; rather, after every flight past, it would circle back for a second attack.
By the end of the entire battle, the Skeleton Flying Dragon had not killed many.
For a Level 13 Skeleton, the efficiency was a little too low.
“Okay, I’ll think about it, and I’ll report to you when I have some results,” Qiangzi agreed immediately.
He himself enjoyed researching these things.
Now that he had Wu Heng’s approval, he was even more motivated.
Wu Heng then asked, “How is the production of the ‘Iron Wolf Rake’ you mentioned last time coming along?”
Scratching his head, Qiangzi said, “Still in the making. The first two versions were too heavy, so I’m looking into how to reduce the weight.”
“No need to rush that; focus on the Skeleton Flying Dragon first. Our first Skeleton that can fly for extended periods of time surely needs to be utilized properly.”
“Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will think it through.”
“Hmm.”
Qiangzi turned and left.
After delegating tasks, Li Yahong also came back.
“Later I’ll lead the convoy back to the prison, bring the Corpse Cores and some supplies over, then rest there for the night. Tomorrow when we come back, we’ll go scavenge for supplies in the residential areas.”
Both places were separate.
Outside, supplies were brought over, while the prison kept producing spears, javelins, and machetes.
Then shipped here to be distributed to the Skeletons.
To ensure all Skeletons had weapons to use.
Wu Heng nodded, “No need to rush, also, take care to rest, don’t wear yourself out with these things.”
“Yes, I understand,” she said.
After chatting for a while, the convoy was replenished.
Li Yahong waved her hand and led the convoy away.
Wu Heng also returned to his residence and entered the boundary door.
…
The Association Dormitory.
When Wu Heng walked out of the study, he saw Mini and Andre Willow sitting in front of the coffee table, chatting.
When they saw Wu Heng come out,
they immediately showed smiles.
“Master, what would you like to eat tonight? I can go make it now,” Mini said softly, coming over with her arms folded.
“Order something from the tavern downstairs; it saves us from cooking.”
“Then, do you have any preference, Master?”
“Anything is fine, just see to it yourself,” Wu Heng said.
“Okay!” Mini changed her clothes, grabbed her small handbag, and walked out the door accompanied by a Skeleton.
Now that they were living in the Association’s dormitory, cooking was indeed not very convenient.
After Mini left, Wu Heng sat down on the sofa and asked, “Wei’er, has anything happened in the Association?”
“Nothing much, some staff reassignments that needed approval from a Vice-executive or above. You weren’t there at the time, so I sent the paperwork to Vice-executive ‘Xi Ligui,'” Andre Willow said.
Xi Ligui was the elf Vice-executive.
Her name was quite a tongue twister.
“Right, in the future, if there’s anything, just send it to her.”
“Understood, Master,” Andre Willow continued, “Also, the construction team for our residence has been arranged; they have already started work, it should be completed in about five days.”
“Hmm.”
After waiting a while, Mini came back with the dinner ordered from the tavern.
…
After dinner,
Wu Heng took the two ladies to the Association’s training room.
The training room was empty, not a soul in sight.
Mini began to continue her boxing training with ‘Bawudong.’
Each punch was thrown with a gust of wind.
Though her figure and face remained attractive, her boxing moves were no longer the exciting sort to watch.
Wu Heng turned to Andre Willow, “Wei’er, what weapon do you specialize in?”
“Crossbow,” replied Andre Willow.
Andre Willow’s occupation as a Forest Ranger included proficiency with crossbows.
However, after becoming a slave, she seldom had the opportunity to utilize weapons.
Wu Heng took out a rifle and a pistol from the Space Ring and handed them to her, “In the future, you’ll be going in and out of the Association often, so it’s very important to have some means of self-defense. I’ll teach you how to use them, but usually, don’t take them out to avoid drawing attention.”
Seeing the weapons handed to her, Andre Willow was stunned.
She had seen such devices before,
and their power was incredibly formidable. Now they were suddenly entrusted to her, and she was a bit overwhelmed.
“For me to use? Master, don’t you need them?”
“I have more, don’t worry about that.”
“Oh, okay, thank you, Master,” said Andre Willow.
Wu Heng began to demonstrate how to use the firearms.
They weren’t particularly difficult to use, as long as you understood a few special spots and functions, firearms were operable.
After going over it twice,
Andre Willow was already familiarizing herself with them.
Following Wu Heng’s method, he repeated the process and aimed the gun barrel at the circular bullseye of the distant crossbow target.
He pulled the trigger.
Bang~!
A startled cry.
The wooden target in the distance burst open with a hole instantly.
Pretty accurate.
Wu Heng was somewhat surprised.
Although it wasn’t the bullseye, if the wooden target were a person, it would have definitely hit the body too.
“Thank you, Master,” Andre Willow rejoiced inwardly.
She didn’t continue shooting, but instead put it directly into the Space Ring, and kissed Wu Heng’s face.
Then she ran over to Mini’s side, joining her in practicing some fist and foot techniques.
…
Wu Heng also took out the ‘Silver Wing Water-Pattern Sword’ to practice combat with the Blazing Blade.
Swift sword shadows were swung out one after another.
The Blazing Blade parried and counterattacked with his sword.
Wu Heng’s style of fighting was completely different from that of the Blazing Blade. Wu Heng wielded a one-handed sword with swift and fierce strikes, while the Blazing Blade used a two-handed sword with powerful and heavy attacks.
Clang clang clink~!
In the midst of intense combat,
A system prompt suddenly appeared.
[Unlock Trait: Combat Intuition (Beginner)]
“Pause!” Wu Heng immediately spoke up to stop the Blazing Blade, who was rushing towards him.
The Blazing Blade stood with his sword at the side.
Wu Heng then opened his attributes to check out the newly unlocked trait.
[Combat Intuition (Beginner)]: Real combat has made your fighting intuition exceptionally sharp, allowing you to discern your enemy’s plans or movements, thereby gaining the upper hand.
To discern the enemy’s moves?
Is it knowing what the enemy wants to do before they make their move?
“Blazing Blade, continue the attack,” he said.
The Blazing Blade once again took up his sword and charged quickly.
Wu Heng concentrated to feel, and when a sword was swung down at his head, he swiftly dodged.
Damn~!
He sensed something, but it was not very useful.
Wu Heng stopped overthinking and continued to spar with the Blazing Blade.
They practiced until the training room grew dim.
Only then did Wu Heng lead the group out of the training room and back to their dormitory.
…
In the bath.
Wu Heng sat in the bathtub with Andre Willow leaning against him, her beast ears fluffed and dripping wet, her body soft and smooth.
Mini stood outside, massaging his back, and said softly, “Sister Mansha always clamors about having a baby for you, I wonder how she’s doing.”
“Miss her?” Wu Heng inquired.
“I used to be a bit scared of her, but now I miss her a little. Sister Mansha is actually quite nice, she just sounds a bit unfriendly because she’s been with the guild for so long,” Mini spoke softly.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Heng said, “Once we’re settled down, I’ll bring her over to stay for a few days.”
“That’s so far away!”
“Have you forgotten how we got here?”
“Ah!” Mini exclaimed, “Right, Master has the train.”
Wu Heng nodded.
As Mini massaged, she said, “That would be great, then we can all see each other more often.”
Wu Heng didn’t respond.
Andre Willow sitting in front of him, her skin began to turn more and more rosy.
She glanced back cautiously at Mini, who was engaged in conversation, lifted her body slightly, and then sat back down with her lips tightly pressed.
…
The next day, Wu Heng went to the guild again.
He sat there until noon and saw that there wasn’t much happening.
After handing over the documents to Andre Willow, he quietly left the guild.
He visited ‘Lighthouse Street’ and its trade warehouse once more.
Chatting with the guild’s staff, he learned this place housed warehouses established by various trading organizations. Besides storing items, there were also goods on display for clients to order.
Of course, they only took bulk orders and did not sell items individually.
As he entered the street, it became noisy.
There were sailors and workers, along with elegantly dressed businessmen inquiring about goods inside shops.
On both sides of the road, there were also vendors selling fruit and fresh novelties on the street.
Wu Heng casually observed as he walked and stopped intermittently.
He passed by the front of a shop.
On a wooden table at the entrance, inside a delicate grid wooden box, there were several arrowheads without shafts.
[Poison Arrowhead]
(Description: Inflicts poison damage on the hit unit.)
[Explosive Arrowhead]
(Description: Causes an explosion upon impact with the targeted unit and applies a burning status.)
[Static Cloud Arrow]
(Description: Inflicts lightning damage on the hit unit and creates a ‘Static Cloud’ environment in the target area.)
