Three mutated dogs kept leading the zombies around in circles.
Although Wu Heng had cleared this area twice before, scattered zombies, attracted by the noise, still moved to approach them.
The mutated dogs, however, had no intention of stopping. They often rushed back to the zombies, biting down frantically. Before the other zombies could close in, they would then turn around and continue running.
Truly the essence of kiting.
Just as they were messing with the zombies, a sudden crashing sound came from the side.
Tha- Tha- Tha-tha!
The three mutated dogs suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Following the sound, they saw an odd looking bone dog, its front legs wrapped around a white steel post of a signboard, swinging its hips non-stop.
Its hollow eye sockets stared towards them.
Meanwhile, its lower body continued to swing back and forth.
The mutated dogs looked at the bone dog in surprise, while the bone dog let go of the post it was hugging. Its hollow eye sockets still faced them.
The mutated dogs tentatively stepped forward, and the Skeleton Teddy surprisingly stepped back.
Seeing the bone dog’s timidity, the three mutated dogs completely disregarded the zombies behind them and charged at the Skeleton Teddy.
The bone dog shook its hips twice more then turned around and ran the other way.
Upon swiftly reaching the bottom of a building ahead, it darted into the hallway.
Without any hesitation, the three mutated dogs swiftly followed like released arrows and entered the building.
They continued chasing until the fourth floor. The pursuing mutated dogs then halted, cautiously eyeing the dense human-shaped bones on the stairs.
Turning to leave, they found a crowd of human-shaped bones had also poured in behind them.
The bones, wielding kitchen knives, charged at them.
Bones from above and below attacked all at once.
Jostling, they pounced on the three bewildered mutated hunting dogs. The intense collision and fighting resonated through the entire hallway.
Wu Heng and Basen stood outside.
Together with the remaining skeleton warriors, they cleared the zombies that had followed the mutated dogs.
These zombies were all drawn from nearby, hence their numbers were considerable.
While the zombies below were nearly cleared out, the fight in the hallway was also nearing its end.
Click-!
The sound of unlocking came from the hallway door.
Jianyi and Jian’er, both drenched in blood, walked out in a somewhat disheveled manner.
It seemed the fight was over.
Wu Heng and Basen directly entered the hallway.
The skeleton warriors standing on the staircase landing had entered standby mode, standing upright in their places.
Scattered bones covered the floor. It seemed quite a few skeleton warriors had died as well.
In the vicinity of the third and fourth floors, they saw three unrecognizable, chopped-up corpses lying around.
“Get them out!”
The skeletons collectively carried the three mutated dogs out of the hallway and dumped them on the open ground.
Wu Heng was the first to move. He went to the side of the largest dog, reminiscent of a horse, and began to cast the ‘Bone Manipulation Skill’. [Summoned creature exceeds summoner’s capability range, instability factors increase…]
As the Bone Manipulation Skill was cast, a message about instability factors appeared.
This has happened twice before, but no particular incidents had occurred.
It was still unknown what exactly was unstable about it.
Soon, the first skeleton dog got up from the ground, shook its body to get rid of the blood and flesh stuck on it.
[Skeleton Hunting Dog (Level 7)]
Without fur, the skeletal figure appeared more like a horse.
Its eerily pale, robust skeleton was particularly slender at the chest ribs, eye sockets hollow, exuding a faint, blue soul fire.
It was actually a Level 7 Skeleton Hunting dog, the same level as Basen. “From now on, your name is Emaciated Dog. Got that?” Wu Heng declared. Emaciated Dog didn’t answer, just stood still.
Wu Heng didn’t care whether or not it understood. “Go, stand by over there.” Emaciated Dog went over to one corner, and Wu Heng began sifting through the crushed body parts with a short spear.
As expected, at the original location of the corpses’ heads, he found a white, fleshy object.
The Corpse Core.
A surge of joy rose in Wu Heng’s heart.
This was valuable stuff, even more so than a level 7 Skeleton Hunting Dog.
He instructed Jianyi to put it in a plastic bag while he continued to use his Bone Manipulation Skill on the remaining two bodies.
Two Skeleton Hunting Dogs soon stood up one after the other.
[Skeleton Hunting Dog (Level 5)] [Skeleton Hunting Dog (Level 5)].
Both dogs were only level 5.
He asked them to stand by and continued to search the bodies.
As expected, he found two more Corpse Cores.
This time, he had obtained three Corpse Cores in total, a great harvest indeed.
After packing them away carefully,
Wu Heng commanded his Skeletons to return to the rooftop. After instructing Jianyi and Jian’er to guard the Skeleton Hunting Dogs, he returned to Black Stone Town.
Black Stone Town, Freelancer Guild.
After a muscular man with a war-axe had finished claiming his bounty, Wu Heng took his place at the counter.
A staff member with a professional smile greeted him, “Mr. Wu Heng, how can
I help you today?”
Despite not coming here often, he had become quite familiar with the staff. Especially after being praised at the city hall, he had enjoyed a bit of fame. “I would like to post a commission.”
You don’t need to wait in line to post a commission. Simply fill in the commission task in the lounge and hand it over to us.”
He hadn’t known about this. Nobody had ever told him.
It wasn t really anyone’s fault though, he rarely visited the guild.
“Oh, okay, I’ll bring it next time.”
The staff member smiled, “What commission do you want to post?” An alchemy commission. Here’s the potion recipe I need. I want three copies made.” Wu Heng handed over the recipe.
The last time he requested potions, he had included the recipe.
So now the whole process was much easier.
He had managed to bypass a few of the more complicated steps.
”Alright.” After noting everything down, the staff member informed him, “We’ll assign an alchemist to prepare the potions. They should be ready in two to three days.”
“Got it!”
After completing the registration, Wu Heng left the front desk, allowing the person behind him to move forward and consult.
As he stood there, considering if he should go greet those in the lounge, Another staff member approached him. “Mr. Wu Heng, Captain Autruck has asked to see you.”
Oh, man, he couldn’t avoid it now.
If he had known, he would have left sooner.
He entered the fourth squad’s lounge.
Pushing open the door, he saw Cavina, dressed in a beige short blouse and tight leather pants, sitting on a sofa looking through some documents.
Her long, straight, beautiful legs were a sight to behold.
“Cavina!” Wu Heng greeted her first.
Cavina glanced at him, “Let’s go, Captain Autruck and the steward are waiting for us.”
“The Steward? Has something happened?”
“I’m not sure, we’ll find out when we get there.”
As they curiously walked and talked, they reached the Steward’s study.
After knocking gently on the door and hearing a response, they walked in.
Inside the tidy study sat three people.
The steward ‘Yazde’, Captain ‘Autruck’ and a mature woman dressed in a purple form-fitting long dress.
Her chestnut hair cascaded over her shoulders, her eyes were bright, her eyebrows slender and upturned, and her figure was slender with mature curves.
She was seated with her legs crossed, a cheetah lying down next to her pristine white legs.
A cheetah?
How fierce! Having such a creature for a pet.
Its size was similar to Teddy after his mutation, it would be interesting to see
who would win if the two of them were to fight each other.
Steward, Mrs. Slyther, Captain.” Cavina was first to speak, respectfully greeting each one.
Slyther… Mrs. Slyther?
