A lizard with yellow skin and blood-red eyeballs was constantly hitting the protective barrier from the outside, trying to bash its way in.
When it saw Zhou Zhou and the others arrive, bloodlust immediately appeared in its eyes as it roared at them.
"It's the Scarlet Fog Monster!"
Bai Yung's expression became serious. He took out one of the short spears on his back and prepared to attack at any time.
Zhou Zhou looked at the lizard.
A monster notification appeared.
[Monster Name: Desert Fog Lizard]
[Strength Level: Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade]
[Monster Description: A bloodthirsty monster from the Blazing Sun Desert, born in the scarlet fog.]
[Loot Drop Rate: two units of Black Iron-Tier Mist Core (Drop Rate: 100%), 20 units of Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Mist Lizard meat (Drop Rate: 10%), one kg water bag (Drop Rate: 3%), one gradeless Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate (Drop Rate: 0.1%)]
..
"Bai Yung, you're in charge of confronting the monster. Hui Teng, Man Nao, take the short spears from him and assist in taking down the monster," Zhou Zhou ordered, "avoid leaving the protective barrier if you have no confident in killing the monster."
When Bai Yung and the two men heard this, they immediately took action.
Approaching the fog monster, Bai Yung thrust his spear at its right eye, puncturing it.
Coming beside Bai Yung, Hui Teng and Man Nao quickly stabbed the short spears into the head of the monster, killing it.
At the death of the monster lizard, a kill notification appeared in front of Zhou Zhou.
[Your subjects Bai Yung, Hui Teng and Man Nao has killed a Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizard. Promotion Energy +10! Loots are condensed!]
At the same time, a gentle energy suddenly appeared in Zhou Zhou's heart and surge into his limbs and bones, strengthening his physical fitness.
He realized that he was a little more energetic than before.
[Novice Lord Notification: Your forces will obtain promotion energy when they kill enemies. 90% of this promotion energy will strengthen your forces while the remaining 10% will be returned to you, the Lord, strengthening you.]
"Doesn't that mean that we Lords can become stronger just by sending out our subjects to conquer new grounds?" Zhou Zhou thought to himself.
Bringing the corpse of the lizard monster together with Hui Teng and Man Nao to Zhou Zhou, Bai Yung said, "My Lord, please retrieve the loot. Otherwise, the Desert Fog Lizard's corpse will turn into fog again and dissipate in the world after 2 hours. Then, it will respawn after an unknown period of time."
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
'That could happen?'
"Can you also retrieve the loot?" he suddenly asked.
"Yes, but my luck has always been average. My best retrieval was obtaining 5 units of flesh and blood in addition to the Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores that would always drop. I heard that it can even drop sources of drinking water when I was in the army but I have never seen it," Bai Yung explained.
Zhou Zhou understood what she meant immediately.
The drop rate of a 1 kg water bag was only 3%, which was indeed relatively low.
However, this was different for him.
"You all should continue looking out for monsters around," seeking to keep his 100% drop rate a secret, he chased his subjects off.
With no eyes on him, Shung Yun wasted no time as he placed his hand on the Desert Fog Lizard's corpse.
A golden notification appeared.
[Do you want to retrieve the loot?]
"Yes!"
A text notification appeared the next moment.
[Lord Talent Hint: Loot obtained - 2 units of mist core (Black Iron-Tier), 20 units of desert fog lizard meat (Black iron-tier elementary grade), 1 kg water bag, 1 copy of sword shield soldier class change certificate (Gradeless)]
Whoosh.
The corpse of the desert fog lizard instantly turned into countless items scattered on the ground, twinkling into his eyes.
Zhou Zhou smiled at the spectacular scene.
Taking off his jacket and leaving just a singlet on, he wrapped up the goods before moving it to his lord's house.
Picking out the only book in the pile of goods, he began reading the text notification that appeared.
[Item Name: Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate]
[Item Level: Gradeless]
[Item Effect: Basic soldier class change tool! After using it, you can become a soldier of basic soldier class - the sword shield soldier! You will also have a set of Black iron-tier elementary grade equipment, 1 year of sword shield soldier combat experience, and start with the strength of Black iron-tier elementary grade. It can allow ordinary people without strength to step into the path of professional!]
Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up.
Good stuff from a rare loot that could only be dropped with a 0.01% probability.
"If I was all alone, I might have used to better my chance of survival. But luckily I have subjects who can protect me if they get stronger."
He muttered as he kept the book aside for either Hui Teng or Man Nao.
Leaving the cabin after he was done with his inspection, he called both Hui Teng and Man Nao over before asking them if they were willing to before a Sword Shield Soldier.
To his expectation, the two of them were actually very willing in the face of such a dangerous profession.
After a moment of consideration, he handed it to Hui Teng, who had the potential of White silver-tier elementary grade.
Man Tao's potential was only Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade, he promised to give him when the next class change certificate dropped.
Looking at Hui Teng, he watched as he used the class change certificate in front of him.
A white light exploded from his body.
A moment later, Hui Teng who was wearing the standard sword shield soldier equipment, reappeared after the white light receded.
His gaze was steady and sharp. Obviously, he had benefited a lot from the sword shield soldier class change certificate.
"My lord, thank you for allowing me to become a professional soldier! I'm willing to do anything for my Lord!" He knelt on the ground and said fanatically.
[Your subject Hui Teng's loyalty has increased to 92]
Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
It's not certain, but he had a guess that it was almost impossible for anyone to betray him with more than 90 loyalty points.
Then, he opened Hui Teng's skill information.
[Skills: Black iron-tier elementary grade sword and shield combination skill (basic-tier)]
