NFBE Chapter 29 Level 1 Barrier
Chapter 29 Level 1 Barrier
Lin Mo's lips slowly curled up.
The first lord hero to clear the Warrior's Tomb received a reward, as expected.
Undead Shield, Defense +3.
With the added defense of the Skeleton Warhorse (+2) and the Dragon Eye Ring (+1), his troops now enjoy a defense bonus of +6.
As for the Dwarf King's Shield that was originally used, it can now take a backseat and be handed over to Jenova or Hammer to continue shining.
The defense of Tier 1 units is usually between 2 and 5. What does +6 defense mean?
That's stronger than most level 2 units in terms of defense.
Without hesitation, he replaced the Dwarf King's Shield with the Undead Shield, hanging it on his left arm.
The shield automatically adjusted its size to fit his arm. A warm power surged from the shield into his body, flowing throughout his entire being.
Lin Mo opened his personal panel:
[Current Equipment: Undead Shield (Defense +3, Undead creatures additional defense +1), Dragon Eye Ring (Attack +1, Defense +1), Mana Ring (Mana Regeneration +20%), Swift Cloak (Movement Speed +2)]
[Troop Bonuses: Attack +3 (Dragon Eye Ring +1, Skeleton Warhorse +2), Defense +6 (Undead Shield +3, Dragon Eye Ring +1, Skeleton Warhorse +2), Undead creatures have an additional defense of +1]
[Hero Stats: Attack 4, Defense 7, Strength 1, Knowledge 1]
Defense +6 is actually +7 for undead creatures.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, then turned and walked towards the exit.
The exit was on the other side of the circular room, a stone door. Lin Mo went in and found himself in a passage. After turning twice, the end seemed to be the entrance to the Warrior's Tomb.
Lin Mo quickened his pace.
Out!
Those people were still outside the door.
The man and woman wearing glasses looked up at the same time and saw Lin Mo walk out; their expressions were completely different.
The man's mouth dropped open, and he nearly dropped the whiskey bottle. The woman's lips curled slightly as she reached out and took a gold coin roll from the man's hand.
"I told you, he'll get out alive." The woman stuffed the gold coins into her pocket, a victorious expression on her face.
The man shook his head with a wry smile, accepting his loss.
"Now that you have control over the lower-level units, you should expand your gains and seize more buildings and resources. Only in this way can you survive better." These people were relatively friendly, so Lin Mo didn't mind giving them some more 'advice'.
Of course, whether they would listen to him or not, Lin Mo didn't know.
After saying that, he pulled on the reins of the skeletal warhorse, and the horse immediately galloped away at great speed, disappearing into the distance in just a few breaths.
Behind him, the survivors watched his retreating figure in silence for a long time.
"That person..." a young man began, "Just who is he?"
"I don't know." The woman shook her head, adding, "But he's the strongest person I've ever met in this apocalypse."
"Even stronger than the Mexican gang?"
"The Mexican gang wouldn't even be worthy of carrying his shoes."
No one refuted.
The bespectacled man glanced at the entrance to the Tomb of the Warriors, then at the direction Lin Mo had disappeared in, and suddenly got up and walked towards the Tomb of the Warriors.
"David, what are you doing?" someone asked.
"Let's go take a look. Don't worry, I'll back out immediately if there's any danger." The man was clearly very curious. He walked to the door, gritted his teeth, and stepped inside.
Soon, he felt a gust of decaying wind blowing towards him, and at the same time, he seemed to hear a voice.
This warrior's tomb has been hollowed out!
Lin Mo, atop the skeletal warhorse, calculated the time and decided to turn back. His main purpose in coming out this time was to collect resources, and the results were remarkable.
More than 6000 units of gold coins, wood, stone, mercury, crystal and other resources.
Most importantly, they conquered a "Warrior's Tomb" and obtained the level 1 otherworld map "Serpent's Treasure" and the level 2 strategic treasure "Undead Shield".
These two gains, in some ways, even exceeded the value of those resources.
Moreover, he had been out for more than five hours this time. Just now, Lin Mo received a notification from the territory that the 'Cursed Temple' in the territory had been completed, and now the level one magic tower that he had set up earlier was automatically being built in the territory.
Now that we've accumulated some more resources, we can start planning the next wave of construction.
In addition, Lin Mo needs to rest after working so hard for so long.
Even though one's physique is enhanced after becoming a lord hero, fatigue and rest are still necessary.
Now, many survivors have emerged from the buildings where they previously hid and are beginning to understand and adapt to this "new world." Lin Mo has encountered quite a few of them along the way.
Among them are groups of people and lone travelers.
All the survivors, upon hearing the sound of hooves, looked over curiously and were terrified to find a person galloping wildly on horseback—and what's more, it was a skeletal horse.
But I have to say, he really is handsome.
"It's him!" On the second floor of a building, Olivia looked at the knight rushing past outside and said with some surprise.
"Do you know that person?" Liam asked, fiddling with an axe in his hand.
This axe was obtained from a treasure chest; it's called "The Woodcutter's Wood-Chopping Axe" and grants +1 attack.
Olivia watched the rider disappear from sight before reluctantly turning her gaze away. "I told you before, once, a ball of light fell from the sky. I was among the first to rush there, but I didn't dare get close. At the time, that person was with a lot—yes, a lot, at least twenty or so skeleton soldiers—and they just walked right up to us, as if they knew what that ball of light was. And it turned out, he really did know that the person on horseback just now was him..."
"You can see clearly from this far away?" Noah glanced outside. The second-floor walls of the building were largely damaged, and the view was expansive, but given the distance and the speed at which the other party moved... Noah couldn't see clearly at all.
Olivia smiled and said, "I'm an archer. Also, I once obtained a spell scroll that allows me to use Eagle Eye (Mortal) twice a day. Not to mention that the straight-line distance is only a little over a hundred meters, I can see clearly even if it's farther away."
After saying that, Olivia added, "That man's horse was a ghost horse. It seems he's just as I analyzed; his understanding of this new world far exceeds my expectations. Perhaps I should make contact with him..."
"I think we should be careful. What if that person, like Margaret, is a madman from the New World?" Liam cautioned.
The three of them looked grim when Margaret and her "Church of Judgment" were mentioned.
In the past two days, the Church of Judgment has been developing very rapidly, and its reach is constantly expanding outwards.
However, Olivia and her two companions were not far behind. At this moment, in addition to the dozen or so centaur warriors, Olivia had another type of soldier at her disposal.
Battle Dwarf!
This is a level 2 unit that has already been upgraded.
Their strength surpasses that of centaur warriors. These short but strong creatures, wearing horned helmets, sporting white beards, and wielding large iron hammers, are incredibly fierce.
Olivia already has eight fighting dwarves at her disposal.
Moreover, because she happened to occupy a [high-level dwarf village], she not only had a place to live, but could also slowly accumulate troops of this level 2 unit.
She had already planned it out. In two days at most, she would gather 24 combat dwarves, and then she would attack a biological structure in a forest a kilometer away from her.
[Wooden House].
It can produce the Tier 3 unit, Wood Elf.
This is a powerful archer, just like Olivia, so she knew very well how terrifying a level 3 unit, especially a ranged unit, could be in combat.
Just then, Olivia spotted a peculiar light coming from inside a building not far away.
"Let's go take a look."
At that moment, she, Noah, and Liam led their troops to sneak over. After entering the building that used to be a movie theater, they quickly found a treasure chest under a pile of broken wood and rubble.
The treasure chest was guarded by ten cavemen.
This creature is best suited to this dim environment. There were several corpses of survivors nearby. They probably didn't notice the hidden cave dwellers and rushed in, only to be stabbed to death.
But when faced with Olivia, ten cavemen are no match at all.
A few minutes later, the battle ended.
The centaurs, along with the fighting dwarves, easily dealt with the ten cave dwellers.
When Olivia opened the treasure chest, it burst forth with light, more dazzling than any other treasure chest she had opened before; the light was even visible from the outside.
Olivia was astonished. Looking down, she saw that there was only a piece of parchment in the treasure chest.
