Hearing about the dismantling, Old Six, originally a short-legged mage, ran faster than anyone.

It even dropped its work, pushed past Doggy Two who was at the front, and excitedly became the first one to leave the Land of Bone.

As soon as Old Six stepped out, the sight of what Dean McKenzie asked it to demolish visibly diminished its fiery pupil excitement.

He even noticed a shade of distaste on Old Six’s face at the Gate of Bones as it refused to descend.

This totally puzzled Dean, “What are you getting picky over here?

You can’t get enough of the eerie materials from the Underground Palace, but now you’re turning your nose up at these good-quality resources from the fort? What’s up with your taste?

Have you lost your sense of gratitude?

Let me tell you, we must economize!

We have to haul in everything we find, good or bad, whether we like it or not. After all, it’s all free!”

In the end, no one knew if Dean had successfully compelled it, but Old Six finally descended from the Gate of Bone.

However, after descending, it was fussy about everything in the fort.

It wasn’t interested in things like arrows, watchtowers, barracks, or warehouses.

But for some reason, it especially loved the dungeon and urged Doggy Two to help it completely clear out the whole structure.

After finalizing the dungeon, Old Six returned to the Land of Bone and didn’t come out again.

To Dean’s surprise, he discovered that Old Six had reconstructed the dungeon with materials from the base.

Observing how Old Six was reconfiguring the Underground Palace, Dean got a clear understanding of its preferences.

Apparently, Old Six favored buildings that seemed out of the Netherworld.

Moreover, it showed a great deal of talent in designing these eerie structures. In no time, the dungeon Old Six had acquired was practically reassembled.

Judging from Old Six’s current performance, it has the potential to be a great Netherworld architect if it continues developing in this direction.

But Dean was a living being in the mortal realm!

His aesthetics were of the mortal realm; he genuinely disliked these Netherworld buildings.

Who would ever fancy a dungeon or graveyard in their home?

However, witnessing how enthusiastic Old Six was about his task, Dean couldn’t bring himself to disturb it. After all, it was not easy to find a skeleton that was interested in architecture.

He was really worried that any interference from him could potentially kill its interest.

“Whatever, it is a skeleton after all. It’s natural for it to be a little eerie. Just let it be!”

Dean decided to shake his head and return to the base, focusing on his tasks instead.

Dean busied himself at the fort for half a day.

He managed to move the dungeons, arrow towers, watchtowers, barracks, and warehouses into his inventory.

Thanks to the dismantling practice in the Underground Palace, he was indeed capable of handling such a large project within half a day.

While dismantling the fort, Dean came across a lot of extra rewards in addition to construction materials.

Firstly, he found 100 sets of bronze grade equipment most likely left by the retreating Storm Legion in their warehouse. The equipment was all Level 41!

Besides, there were about 1000 kg of army food, 1000 bottles each of Life Potion and Mana Potion.

Name: Life Potion

Level: 41

Effect: Drinking it can regenerate 1000 units of life force.

Name: Mana Potion

Level: 41

Effect: Drinking it can recover 2500 mana points or 500 spirit power units over three minutes.

Both potions were of a higher grade than the “small type”.

Dean had found out from the Skywind Commerce Guild.

Both minuscule life and mana potions were priced around 500 Copper Coins.

Small life and mana potions were priced around 2 to 3 Silver Coins.

But these particular potions were worth around seventy or eighty Silver Coins each.

Therefore, just the potions were worth at least seven to eight hundred Gold Coins.

Moreover, the warehouse contained more than 100 Gold Coins.

Additionally, he found a pouch with 200 Gold Coins in it in the room of the Blade of the Storm.

What made Dean more thrilled was a special treasure chest that appeared in the fort after it was dismantled.

Map Treasure Chest: Storm Camp Treasure Chest

ps: A treasure chest with a chance of appearing after a map is cleared.

With more than 300 Gold Coins, 100 sets of bronze armor, potions worth seven or eight hundred Gold Coins, and a special map treasure chest,

as well as the loot from the Pighead Clan Dean killed,

although most of the Pighead Clan had been dead for more than 90 minutes by the time the battle was over, making them unfit for extraction, there was still a portion that was not.

Since the quantity was not substantial enough, Dean did not extract the skill, but he didn’t let anything go to waste.

After the immediate extraction, he strengthened his own attribute points.

Once Dean reached Level 43, his four main attributes increased by 45. He quickly added all the new attribute points to his stats.

Other attributes aside, his Spirit directly increased to 939.4, almost reaching 1000.

Also, the Pighead Clan dropped a fair amount of items.

After a quick estimate, Dean calculated that he profited at least 1500 Gold Coins from this fight.

“Halfway to my little goal, actually it’s my slight wish has already been achieved.

With this, my skills stand a chance of upgrading again.”

While blissfily grinning, Dean simultaneously opened the nine light dots dropped by the three Thir-turn bosses, along with the treasure chest.

[You opened nine light points, you received 180 Gold Coins, the material [Bone Erosion Toxin].

You received [Fierce Wind Greatsword], [Fierce Wind Handguard].

You received [Storm Swordsman Template].

You received [Prison Blueprint].]

[You’ve unlocked the [Storm Camp Treasure Chest], you obtained the equipment [Storm Ring]]

Among these items, both the [Fierce Wind Greatsword] and [Fierce Wind Handguard] are silver equipment for those above Level 61. The conditions are rather strict; Dean McKenzie, being not yet at that level, has no choice but to keep them stored for now

The Storm Swordsman Template also has stringent requirements, as it oddly requires the user to be a member of the Pighead Clan.

Such stringent requirements immediately rule out Dean McKenzie.

He surely can’t attach a pig head to his own, can he?

Dean is still quite confident in his looks. After all, two women on this map were already infatuated by his handsome appearance.

Therefore, he just tossed this item into his belt to collect dust.

No, not even dust, since it’s stored in the space of his belt.

Among remaining items, the [Prison Blueprint] is a construction blueprint, which Dean scanned and then handed over to Old Six.

Old Six, treating the map like a treasure, went off to tinker with his dungeon again.

In the end, Dean’s gaze fell upon the final two items.

Name: Bone Erosion Toxin

Quality: Silver

Description: This is deadly poison. Those affected by it become weak, and at worst, their bones dissolve, resulting in death.

Ps: As long as you don’t use it all at once, you can store it in a bone where it can slowly regenerate.

Equipment: Storm Ring

Quality: Silver

Level: 61

Equipment Condition: Chest opener

Effect 1: Increases Spirit by 180 points

Effect 2: Storm Power (Upon activation, adds 5000 points of storm power to your attack) (Limited to once per day)

After reading the attributes, Dean promptly took off the [Rough Mana Ring] from his hand, swapped it with the [Storm Ring], and handed the Bone Erosion Toxin to Old Eight.

Old Eight’s poison-enhanced dagger and poison strengthening were in dire need of poison.

With a silver-quality toxin, Old Eight’s strength should skyrocket, right?

“Come on, try it and see the effect!”

Dean immediately had Old Eight test the effect on the spot. After all, this stuff can regenerate.

Old Eight activated the skill, extracting poison from the [Bone Erosion Toxin] and applying it to his dagger.

Shortly after, the skill had been used, and Dean noted an added poison attribute to Old Eight’s dagger.

Poisoned: Bone Erosion Poison

Effect: Inflicts 500 points of poison damage per second to the target and has an 80 percent chance to cause the enemy to enter a weakened state.

Reduces the enemy’s speed and strength by 20 percent!

“Not bad, now try [Poison Strengthening]!”

Old Eight obediently swiped again, and the attribute changed once more.

To be exact, it increased.

The poison damage per second raised from 500 to 1000, and the decrease in speed and strength from the original 20 percent increased to 40 percent.

The effect is indeed quite substantial.

However, the Bone Erosion Toxin was used once and was already down by a fifth, the remaining could be used at most three more times, leaving 1 point for recovery.

But it’s not too shabby.

Dean was very satisfied.

“How are your injuries?”

After opening the chest, the content Dean, came to visit the maid pig.

The maid pig, after having consumed several [Life Potions] brought by Dean, while still in a weakened state, looked considerably better.

Upon seeing Dean arrive, the maid pig was somewhat evasive: “So you were that strong! The princess really has an unfailing judgement!”

“I wasn’t always this strong. When I battled with the Earth Pighead, I was really struggling. It’s only after entering the Storm Forest that my strength started to improve.”

“Your powers improved after entering the Storm Forest?”

The maid pig was chewing on Dean’s words, but her lack of understanding was written all over her face.

“You don’t need to try and understand, with your brain capacity, understanding this is purely a challenge for the CPU’s heat resistance.”

Dean boldly expressed contempt for the pig maid’s intelligence.

The maid pig doesn’t understand Dean’s contempt.

Dean didn’t plan to continue with this topic,

“Now that the Storm Legion is incapacitated, what’s our next move? Do you have any other reinforcements? Even if there are no reinforcements, is there anyone who can provide information on the situation inside the city or the princess’s condition?”

Upon hearing Dean talk about serious matters, the maid pig immediately set aside Dean’s strange words.

“As for reinforcements, we don’t have any left. This was the princess’s only force.

As for inquiring about the city’s situation, I regret to say we don’t have anyone for that at the moment!”

Upon saying this, the maid pig bowed her head, her face full of shame.

“How about the Becky family’s might? Or can you at least confirm if your princess is still alive?”

“I’m not entirely sure about this.”

The maid pig’s head drooped even lower.

“I’m sorry, I’m just useless!”

Looking at the maid pig in front of him, Dean didn’t know what to say.

“In that case, it looks like we’re going to have to be reckless!”
