Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Crazy Female Beastman
Outside Marler Town.
"Awooo!"
A young Beastman roared, swung down, and split a zombie in half, then froze in place.
He stood there for about fifteen seconds and then discarded the iron sword because in his other hand, a five-square-meter long white blade appeared.
It seemed to be made from the claw or fang of some huge monster!
"In the name of the ancestors! This is... the fang of the sea serpent! This is a... Second Level Weapon!"
Old Shaman Teruo gasped.
"Hahaha!" Another young Beastman laughed, a thin layer of hair covering his skin, his body slightly larger.
According to Lin Yi’s judgment, he must have acquired a Transformation Skill, but a First Level Transformation Skill wouldn’t cause much change in the user.
"Amazing..." Terghai murmured.
"It seems... our kin... will eventually survive!" The old Shaman replied with tears in his eyes.
After the first hundred young Beastmen completed the recognition, they were sent back to the Beastman city, and a new batch replaced them.
The whole process took about ten minutes, half of which they were checking their rewards.
Unfortunately, this small town’s Experience Points were far less than they expected.
They only gained 3000 Experience Points, so only 1477 young Beastmen could complete the recognition.
Some couldn’t resist using the new toys to deal with the few remaining evil spirits.
"What’s this, boss? It’s everywhere." A young soldier asked, handing Lin Yi a giant apple-sized nut.
Reward nut. Open to receive rewards.
[Note: Version not compatible]
[You cannot claim this reward]
"I think I know what this is..." Lin Yi smiled and sent the item to the warehouse.
When all the zombies in the town were cleaned up, the recyclers began their work.
Lin Yi changed his route to come to this town for a reason, there is a train station here!
The soldiers cleared houses, stores, and shops, while Beastman mercenaries cleared the tracks.
Terghai also became interested, wanting to see this legendary "track road."
Lin Yi took him to the train station.
When Terghai saw the pile of steel, he requested Lin Yi to let his warriors join the work.
The warriors were much stronger than the young Beastmen, so their efficiency was several times higher.
They collected 195 tons of steel in just one hour...
The Beastmen could keep 19.5 tons of it.
After eating something and taking a short break.
Lin Yi hit the road again.
He didn’t even notice the small groups of zombies and obstacles along the way.
If anything blocked his path, he just crashed through it.
Though the shield consumed some energy, it would recover on its own in the Shelter, he had plenty of cores anyway.
Soon, he arrived at Vervain Town, home to 2500 residents.
The route might have veered him off from his original destination Lille, but... now his head was swimming with greed, so he followed the tracks.
Vervain Town had a train station, but only a rather shabby one.
In just five minutes, the wall was erected and fortified.
The lure device activated, using up all the Magic Power left in the Second Level core.
Like the last town, no mutated creatures appeared, making the Beastman recognition very successful.
Since the last time, they optimized the entire process, now really getting into the groove.
Bang!
A sturdy First Level mutated zombie suddenly crashed into the steel wall.
This crafty zombie had hidden since the battle began, lurking behind buildings, quietly sneaking closer, hoping to jump out and breach the wall.
But it failed.
The wall remained strong...
Terghai would not hold back, as soon as the sturdy mutated zombie showed its ugly face, the Beastman Lord quickly killed it.
Then, he saw a panel!
[Congratulations, you have leveled up!]

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. As compensation, you receive 500,000 Gold Coins.
Note: You have completed the recognition and received the reward. As compensation, the quality of the reward has been enhanced.
[Congratulations! You have learned the skill—"Zoron’s Nightmare." Have fun playing!]
The poor and confused Orc Lord was overwhelmed by a string of baffling messages.
He couldn’t understand some words, but he knew he had just gotten weaker... much weaker!
His level dropped from Level 9 to Level 1, and the skills he inherited from the previous lord were also stripped away.
...But...
He was laughing and crying, then laughing again.
He was reborn like a phoenix, now possessing one skill, four Skill Points, and twelve Attribute Points.
Lin Yi glanced at the sobbing Terghai and asked in confusion, "What’s the matter?"
"Boss, I’ll explain later!"
The Orc Lord spoke as he walked towards Teruo and explained what just happened.
The old Orc was both surprised and shocked: "So that’s how it is. Truly... fascinating."
"Yes, but now... where can I... get more skills?"
After the two finished talking, Lin Yi walked over with a mischievous grin and handed Terghai a bag of 70 nuts.
"What’s this..."
"Open it!"
"Impossible... right! So delicious!" Terghai muttered, laughing heartily.
He picked up a nut, opened it instantly, and took a bite before giving the rest to the old Orc.
The old Orc Teruo didn’t eat but instead took a small orb from the center of the nut.
[Rare Skill Book: Blood Magic]
The 600-year-old Orc grinned, revealing his decayed and almost completely worn fangs, then handed the Orc Lord a skill book.
"It seems our problem has been solved."
The Orc Lord was utterly astonished, opened his mouth to try to speak, but failed to utter a word.
Blood Magic was Ruta’s strongest skill.
It could enhance the power of allies, destroy living enemies, grant immunity to infections, accelerate healing, stop bleeding, and so on!
Simply acquiring such a skill is enough to shock anyone!
"Hahaha! Our path... is clearer to me now."
Terghai felt as if Su Mountain from their legendary Taru home planet had been lifted off his shoulders.
Taru people believe that the mountain is where their ancestors’ souls reside. Every Taru dreams of one day finding a fragment of their home planet, locating that mountain.
"Thank you, Lin Yi, Boss!"
Terghai pounded his chest with his fist, offering Lin Yi the greatest courtesy of his tribe.
The old Orc Teruo also pounded his chest with his fist.
"Thank you, Lord Lin Yi!"
"Since it’s a long-term alliance, I naturally want to enhance your strength so you don’t hold me back."
Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders.
After eliminating all zombies and swiftly clearing the town, he returned to Raum.
Then he headed along the A26 highway towards Saint Constant.
He didn’t enter the town itself because there were signs indicating that survivors lived there, so he established his small fortress near the town’s edge.
After replacing the Energy Core, he set the bait’s range to 1.5 kilometers, only covering half the town, and then activated it.
A minute passed, and people from the town began shooting. But when survivors realized the zombies were not attacking them but fleeing the town, they chose to hide, not wanting to put themselves in danger for no reason.
The Orc population is actually quite small.
Only 2155 young warriors, 430 warriors, 777 females, 890 artisans, and about twenty Shamans and 180 technicians.
After being invaded by the Zombie General, the Orc population decreased significantly.
The zombies in front were more than enough for all Orcs who wanted recognition.
Although female Orcs are usually reserved, they managed to astonish everyone.
Once they picked up weapons, many became frenetic... more like tigresses in action!
Once the laws and traditions suppressing their abilities were relaxed, all their rage and frustration were unleashed.
Poor innocent zombies, if not for the steel beams blocking them, they would have been torn to shreds.
"Hahaha! What, you didn’t know? Women are more ruthless and merciless than men."
Lin Yi said to the Orc Lord, who was staring blankly, while Teruo immediately nodded.
In his 600 years of growth, the Taru race’s women still remembered their ancestors’ feats on the battlefield.
But as time passed, customs and traditions changed for the race’s survival, forcing women into a ruthless cage of rules and traditions to select ideal traits for Orcs.
Strong parents give birth to strong offspring, smart parents produce smart children, and so on. Love and free will had nothing to do with marriage.
"I have to tell you, you’ll regret arming your women, just wait, big guy..."
Lin Yi started gloating, expecting feminists to emerge among the female Orcs...
At this moment, about 7000 zombies charged from the town, so the experience points Terghai gained were enough to level him up to Level 4.
Of course, he wasn’t the only one who gained experience points; the Weapon Smiths and Doctors from the shelter were there as well.
Lin Yi didn’t idle around either!
He needed to level up to Level 10 long ago...
