Dean McKenzie quickly completed the inventory of the loot from the Pigman
Clan’s group of hundreds.
There were 35 gold coins in total. Including what Dean had left, he had a substantial amount of 180 gold coins.
In addition to gold coins, there were about ten pieces of Black Iron Equipment
and two pieces of Bronze Equipment.
But, without exception, they were all equipment above level 40, especially the two pieces of Bronze Equipment, reaching level 50.
Moreover, the equipment required level 40 or a second-turn to use. It was frustrating for Dean because he couldn’t use them and he had to sell them.
However, they yielded a book of [Defensive Pose] and [Heavy Strike] warrior
skills.
Dean had Doggy Two learn them all.
Looking at the skill attributes.
Defensive Pose (Level 1) (Consumes 2 points of Spirit Power, activates
Defensive Pose, increases defense by fifty percent)
Heavy Strike (Level 1) (Consumes 2 points of Spirit Power, delivers an attack on the target with twice the strength plus attack power)
Mediocre.
With these two skills, Doggy Two’s attributes panel looked more impressive.
Name: Weak Bone Lord (Doggy Two)
Level: Level 21
Template: Elite
Owner: Dean McKenzie
Attribute points:
Strength: 75.4, Agility: 23.1, Physique: 8.4, Spirit: 8.4
Attack: 75-4 (10)
Defense: 4-2 (45)
Spirit Power: 80
Skills: King of Bone (Level 1) Charge (Level 4) Defensive Pose (Level 1) Heavy
Strike (Level 1)
These were Doggy Two’s current base attributes.
It’s not weak at all, much stronger than those elite Pigmans who are level 40. Moreover, he hasn’t wasted the past two months; his Charge skill has leveled up to level 4, which has made him quite formidable in combat.
However, compared to Dean and Earl, he looks quite ordinary.
While Dean was busy with these activities, Earl had already returned to the
Land of Bone.
It also brought back information about the surrounding area within 5 miles for
Dean.
“Three miles to the left, three hundred meters to the right, one and a half miles ahead, there are Pigmans. The maximum is a hundred individuals, and the smallest is a squadron of twenty individuals?
Upon hearing Dean read out the information that Earl had reported back, Maid
Pig furrowed her brows.
“It seems they have already locked onto this area, we must evacuate this area
as soon as possible!”
“Okay!”
Dean readily agreed.
Afterwards, Dean began to move, with Earl, who had entered stealth mode, leading the way.
Through the soul connection with Earl, Dean followed the path that Earl had taken, staying roughly a hundred meters behind him.
Along the way, Dean profoundly experienced what it meant to be in a net of heaven and earth.
Within ten miles of Dean’s landing in the Land of Bone, there were two to three thousand Pigman soldiers conducting a sweep search for him.
If it weren’t for Earl leading the way, Dean suspected he would have been found and captured within the first ten minutes.
Even with Earl leading the way, it still wasn’t easy for Dean to escape from this
net of heaven and earth.
It took several hours for Dean to walk around the Pigman soldiers’ encirclement. Eventually, Dean was able to make it through without any danger after walking for tens of miles.
However, escaping from that encirclement doesn’t necessarily mean Dean is entirely safe.
After getting out of that net, Dean still needs to take Maid Pig to the Tempest Woods.
The danger on this journey is definitely not less than that of the encirclement. Although the road Dean took is that circuitous route drawn by Maid Pig, which is less likely to be discovered, there are still many Pigmans guarding along this route.
Every time they encountered Pigman guards, Maid Pig suggested Dean to detour.
At first, Dean readily agreed. If she said to detour, he would detour. But as time went on, detouring became time-consuming.
Dean’s time in this dungeon was only three months. He had already spent two months in the city, and half a month detouring on the road.
If he continued to detour like this, Dean doubted if he could even walk half of
the route by the time he had to leave the dungeon.
So, Dean took a gamble and forcefully broke through one.
As a result, he managed to get through and wiped out a 20-person Pigman squad, but the Pigmen immediately reacted, and a net of heaven and earth came by the same day.
Dean was almost trapped and killed.
In the end, Dean gritted his teeth and opened the Gate of Bone, throwing out tens of thousands of skeletons to set fire to the mountain and create chaos. It was only then that he found an opportunity to escape with Earl through the chaos.
This move was somewhat risky.
It was like a near-death experience.
But taking this risk wasn’t without benefits.
The good thing was, this risky move made Dean’s subsequent journey much smoother.
It only took a week for Dean to reach the edge of the Tempest Woods, only a step away from delivering the message inside the Tempest Woods.
But often, the last step is the hardest.
Dean hovered outside the Tempest Woods for three to four days, but he couldn’t find an opportunity to get in.
There was no way around it, there were only two entrances to the Tempest
Woods.
And both entrances were being tightly monitored.
Moreover, the people keeping an eye on them were extremely powerful, and they even seemed to possess an item that could break stealth. Earl tried to approach them, only to be detected when he was just ten meters away. After getting hit, most of his Power of Shadow was depleted, and he almost died.
That level of power, Dean didn’t even dare to use his Appraisal Skill.
Although Dean didn’t use his Appraisal Skill, he still found out about their capabilities.
“Those two are both third-turn Pigmans from the Becky family. The one who attacked is a Level 61 third-turn Earth Warrior with an excellent template.
The other one is a third-turn Berserk Swordsman at Level 66, with an excellent template.
With the two of them watching, you won’t be able to break through. But don’t worry too much, they can’t stay here for long, at most ten days to half a month they will have to leave!”
Maid Pig comforted.
Dean snorted.
Ten days to half a month? He didn’t know if they would leave by then, but he definitely would have to.
He only had two to three days left.
“They just guard here, would the army in the Tempest Woods allow it?
-They belong to the princess’ direct lineage, she knows and tolerates them, so unless it’s absolutely necessary, they won’t clash.”
Upon hearing this, Dean’s eyes lit up: “So they aren’t afraid of these two guys!” “The commander of the Tempest Woods army is much stronger than them, how could they possibly be afraid of them!”
“Since that’s the case, let’s make another bet!
I want to test my strength against a third-turn strongman!
“No, we don’t have to rush…”
“It’s necessary, I’m running out of time!
Maid Pig wanted to persuade him again, but Dean interrupted her with a single sentence.
Shortly after, Dean began to prepare.
Time passed little by little during Dean’s preparations.
Soon it was the ninetieth day since Dean arrived in this dungeon, the last day he could stay in this dungeon.
“Let’s go, let’s meet the third-turn strongman!
“Wait!”
Maid Pig stopped him.
“What’s the matter?”
“I want to meet the third-turn strongman too!”
I used a clickbait title for the sake of the Three Rivers story, you guys understand, right?
If not, allow me to kneel before you first in irritation!
