“A Silver Tier weapon!!”

Adelia’s eyes lit up, and she grasped the Wind Splitting Bow affectionately.

Her expression was like that of one looking at their most beloved treasure.

But after a while, she came back to her senses and reluctantly returned it. “My lord, this is too precious. I can’t accept it.”

“Didn’t I say that I would give you a better weapon than your Wind Howl? Furthermore, half of the credit this time goes to you. The weapon came from the Silver Treasure Chest that Zhang Liang brought back. Accept it with ease. Unless you’re telling me that you don’t want to take revenge personally?”

Lin Ye placed his hands on her shoulders and looked straight at her. “Also, I said before that no treasure can compare to your loyalty. I have no reason to take back what I have given you. If you don’t want it, I will ask the blacksmith to destroy it!”

“Don’t!”

When she heard that Lin Ye was going to break such a precious Wind Splitting Bow, she turned pale with fright. She quickly snatched it back and held it in her arms.

“That’s right. Since it’s a reward for you, you should just accept it graciously. I’ve already given you a Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill. You’re still arguing about a Wind Splitting Bow?”

Lin Ye looked at Adelia with a smile and pulled her to the window on the second floor. He pointed at the bustling territory under the setting sun and said softly, “You’d better get used to this in the future. A better future awaits you. This is just the beginning of our fight. Only with continuous progress can you keep up with me.”

“I hope that even after countless years, the first subordinate who is loyal to me will still follow and accompany me through these mountains and rivers, slaughter a mountain of corpses and to create our own blood path – conquering all realms together.”

“I will not let you down!”

Adelia’s heart was burning with resolve as she listened. She gripped the Wind Splitting Bow tightly in both hands and engraved every word of what Lin Ye said into her heart.

At the same time, she secretly decided that she must break through within a short period of time. After consuming the Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill, her constitution was already no weaker than most Class 4 Soldiers. She only lacked the accumulation of wind elements.

She was previously a Class 3 Elemental Ranger who was not far from Class 4. With recent efforts, she had a high chance of breaking through.

At that time, she would be the first Class 4 powerhouse under her lord, and she would be equipped with a silver tier weapon. Her destructive power should be comparable to a super powerhouse at the late stage of Class 5.

At the thought of this, Adelia felt her whole body fill with energy. Even though the black corpse poison on her arm was affecting her, she did not feel any pain.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have triggered the hot blood of the Class 3 Elemental Ranger, Adelia. Her loyalty has increased to 100%, and she has become your first loyalist!]

[Loyalist: You can trust her completely. She will be your greatest support and will never betray you!]

“She actually became a loyalist…”

Lin Ye blinked. He suddenly felt like a person who was capable of inspiring others.

Like those gold medal lecturers from his previous life!

Just with that glib tongue of his, the innocent and kind people from the underworld would probably be fooled to the point of being unable to see the truth.

With a wave of his arm, there was a high chance that he would become a person similar to a king.

When he thought about that, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of urgency.

In the future, he had to get a gold medal tutor to guide him on the know-how of bewitching people.

Bah, it was the inspiring speeches that liberated people from the underworld who were in dire state.

“My lord, what are you laughing at?”

Adelia tilted her head to the side and looked at the smirk on Lin Ye which somehow looked a little creepy.

“Mm, it’s nothing. I’m just wondering if your injuries are too severe. Can you continue killing enemies?” Lin Ye collected his thoughts and changed the topic.

“Yes, of course. Look, my lord, with this Wind Splitting Bow, I can shoot through an anvil tree more than a thousand meters away with just one arrow,” said Adelia hurriedly, afraid that Lin Ye would keep her in the bunker. At the same time, she raised the Wind Splitter Bow to activate its elemental power.

“What you say doesn’t count.”

Lin Ye raised his hand and pushed the Wind Splitting Bow down and turned to Priest Gran. “Priest, you are the professional. I will believe in your words.”

Before Gran could say anything, Adelia glared at him and bared her canine teeth threateningly.

“…”

Gran surreptitiously wiped the sweat from his palms.

His judgement was good. Naturally, he could tell that Lin Ye treated Adelia differently.

He even gave her a Level 4 Body Strengthening Pill and a Silver Tier weapon, the Wind Splitting Bow.

If there was nothing weird about that, he guessed even a pig could climb a tree.

Out of the corner of his eye, Gran glanced at Nicole, the cat-eared chef who looked like a curious baby. He had an answer.

He could not afford to offend either of them!

In the blink of an eye, Gran analyzed his possible routes and smiled. “My lord, don’t worry. With me around, Adelia’s injuries won’t be of any problem. However, she cannot shoot more than three times a day, or it may hurt her foundations.”

Hearing this, Adelia smiled and gave Gran a knowing look. “You heard him, my lord. My injuries are fine. I promise you that I will not shoot more than three times a day before I recover.”

“Alright, be careful then.”

Lin Ye nodded and handed Adelia’s hand to Nicole. He motioned for the two of them to sit down and got back to business.

“What happened today? With your skills, you shouldn’t have gotten injured. The rangers who carried you back were injured as well. I’ve seen their wounds briefly. Those were definitely not caused by zombies. Instead, they look like arrow wounds.”

With a grave expression, he asked the most crucial question, “Is it Zhang Liang’s doing?”

If that was the case, he would have to be ruthless.

“I don’t think so.”

Adelia shook her head and tried to organize her words. She explained, “After we split up, Zhang Liang and I got along pretty well. That guy is just a kid who hasn’t grown up yet. Although he was angry at you for being so overbearing, he still respected me. He also did his best to find treasure chests.”

“And I found out that his talent didn’t seem as simple as it sounded.”

“There were a few times when we almost fell into a trap but he foresaw it and we avoided it.”

“Wait. Traps… did you meet other lords?”

Lin Ye frowned slightly.

Zombies didn’t know how to make traps. The underworld natives were restricted by the system and couldn’t come out before recruitment.

Adelia nodded, but her expression turned ugly. “On the way, we met a few lords who were in a team. There were five of them, and they were quite strong. Combined, they had about 50 rangers. They treated Zhang Liang as another lord and wanted to recruit him. After Zhang Liang rejected them, they left.”

“But after we were attacked by the Venomous Zombie, I didn’t expect them to be hiding in the dark when they ambushed us. They wanted to snatch the Silver Treasure Chest that we risked our lives to obtain. At that time, if Zhang Liang wanted to betray me, it should be easy, but he didn’t.”

“On the way back, if not for him, we would have already been ambushed by those five despicable guys.”

“Looks like I’ve misunderstood him.” Lin Ye heaved a sigh of relief.

He had high hopes for Zhang Liang’s treasure chest hunting talent. As long as his heart was not blackened, he would accept him.

However, a murderous glint flashed through his eyes when he thought of the people who ambushed Adelia.

Their names were added to his blacklist.

“My lord, please don’t kill him. That kid has a lot of potential. He might even have a foreseeing talent,” Adelia reminded him.

“I know. I’m not stupid.”

Lin Ye chuckled and stood up. “It’s getting late. Rest early tonight and get well. Tomorrow, I will personally take you to get your revenge. All the zombies and humans who have hurt you will pay the price in blood.”

After saying that, he waved his hand and led Priest Gran and Nicole out.
