Corpses Can Be Looted Too!

"Surround them! Leave no survivors."

Liu Lei, the Hundred-Household Officer leading the troops, shouted loudly.

Watching the bandit leader charge at him, Liu Lei showed no panic. He gripped his saber with both hands and watched cautiously.

As a Hundred-Household Officer, Liu Lei had fought countless battles. He had naturally seen scenes like this many times.

"Dog official!"

"Die!"

The bandit leader charged forward.

He raised his War Saber and slashed down at Liu Lei.

Liu Lei raised his War Saber to block.

With a clang,

the immense force made Liu Lei's arm tremble.

"You're no ordinary bandit."

"Who exactly are you?"

After just one strike,

Liu Lei sensed that something was wrong.

"Ask in the underworld."

"Die, damn you!"

The bandit leader sneered, withdrew his blade, and swung another slash at Liu Lei.

The blade was fierce and ruthless.

It was clearly not the skill of an ordinary bandit, but rather the killing techniques of someone who had received training.

Liu Lei raised his blade to meet the attack.

But the bandit before him was exceptionally burly and powerful, leaving Liu Lei hard-pressed to defend himself.

With a bang,

the bandit leader kicked out, sending Liu Lei crashing to the ground.

"Dog official!"

"Die, damn you!"

The bandit leader wore a savage grin as he raised his blade and slashed down at Liu Lei on the ground.

"It's over."

Liu Lei's eyes narrowed as despair welled up in his heart.

But at that moment—

Whoosh.

An arrow tore through the air.

With a wet thud,

it pierced straight through the bandit leader's chest.

His slashing motion halted.

However, the arrow had not struck a vital spot. With a vicious expression, he charged at Liu Lei again.

Whoosh.

Another arrow came flying.

This arrow accurately pierced through the bandit leader's heart, passing straight through it.

The saber in the bandit leader's hand fell, and his body toppled stiffly backward.

"Dead?"

Having narrowly escaped death, Liu Lei looked at the scene before him.

But he immediately turned to look behind him.

Zhu Ying was running over quickly with a bow in hand.

When he reached the bandit leader, Zhu Ying drew the War Saber at his waist and brought it down on the man's head.

With a crunch,

blood splattered across Zhu Ying's face.

The man was completely dead.

"Killed a Tatar Centurion. Looted 20 points to all attributes. First kill of an enemy with an official rank. Reward: one ordinary treasure chest." Another notification appeared before Zhu Ying's eyes.

But this time,

Zhu Ying did not show wild joy.

He could no longer hold it in.

"Damn."

Looking at the bloody mess before him, Zhu Ying felt his stomach churn, his expression tense.

Seeing this, Liu Lei felt both grateful to Zhu Ying and amused.

"Fresh recruit." Liu Lei chuckled.

But he quickly got to his feet.

"All soldiers, heed my command!"

"Kill them all! Leave none alive!" Liu Lei shouted as he continued directing the battle.

The bandits had already been surrounded.

The government troops numbered a hundred, giving them twice the enemy's strength.

Very soon,

these vicious criminals were all slaughtered.

The ground was covered with corpses.

"Reporting to the Hundred-Household Officer."

"All bandits have been executed, forty-eight in total."

"Four of our brothers died in battle, and more than a dozen were wounded."

A General Officer hurried over to report to Liu Lei.

In the Ming Dynasty,

military ranks had a clear hierarchy.

Soldiers were simply soldiers.

Above them were Squad Leaders, who commanded ten men.

Above Squad Leaders were General Officers, who commanded fifty men.

Above General Officers were Probationary Hundred-Household Officers, Hundred-Household Officers, and Thousand-Household Officers.

"Take the wounded brothers away for treatment and record their merits," Liu Lei said steadily.

Having gone through many bandit suppression campaigns, the panic from nearly dying had already subsided.

"This subordinate obeys."

The two General Officers immediately accepted the order.

Liu Lei then walked toward Zhu Ying.

"Kid, what's your name?"

Liu Lei asked with a smile.

Zhu Ying immediately stood up, steadied himself, and replied, "This subordinate is Zhu Ying, a recruit who enlisted less than two months ago."

"I could tell you were a recruit," Liu Lei said with a smile.

He then stepped forward and patted Zhu Ying on the shoulder.

"I owe my life to those two arrows of yours. Otherwise, I would have died at that bandit's hands."

"If anything comes up in the army later, or if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come find me," Liu Lei said with a smile.

"Yes."

Zhu Ying immediately bowed.

"Go help clear the corpses," Liu Lei said.

"This subordinate obeys."

Zhu Ying immediately accepted the order.

But what Zhu Ying cared about now was still his Attribute Panel, as well as the attributes he had just looted from killing enemies.

As Zhu Ying walked toward a bandit's corpse,

he focused his mind and communicated with the panel.

"Attribute Panel?"

Zhu Ying tried calling out to it.

The next moment,

a data-like panel appeared before Zhu Ying's eyes.

Host: Zhu Ying

Age: 13

Strength: 180 points. One point equals one jin of force.

Speed: 140 points. The higher the value, the faster the speed.

Constitution: 95 points. The stronger the constitution, the stronger the defense and the faster the recovery from injuries.

Endurance: 88 points. The higher the endurance, the more tireless and energetic one is.

Spirit: 87 points. The higher the spirit, the clearer the mind.

Lifespan: 88 years

Storage Space: 1 cubic meter

"This really isn't a dream."

"After killing those bandits, all the attributes I looted were added to me." Zhu Ying thought excitedly.

This was the foundation for survival!

"There are so many attributes, and even lifespan. Does that mean lifespan can be looted too?"

Seeing the lifespan entry, Zhu Ying became even more expectant.

Coming back to his senses and calming himself,

Zhu Ying placed his hand on the dead bandit's corpse.

The moment he touched it,

"Looted 5 points of Constitution." A notification appeared on the panel.

Seeing this,

Zhu Ying's face lit up. "I can loot attributes not only from killing enemies, but even from these corpses?"

"If that's the case..."

Zhu Ying was instantly delighted.

He hurriedly touched a bandit corpse beside him.

"Looted 5 days of lifespan." The panel displayed a notification.

"I really can loot lifespan."

"Doesn't that mean I can live forever?"

Zhu Ying's heart pounded wildly.

The significance of this was enough to shake the world.

Immortality!

Countless emperors and great rulers throughout history had pursued it without success, yet Zhu Ying now possessed this opportunity.

"Shen Family."

"Thank you so much." Zhu Ying thanked them again in his heart.

After that,

Zhu Ying did not waste any time.

He ran straight toward the bandits one after another.

He touched the bandit corpses directly.

"Looted 5 points of Strength."

"Looted 5 points of Endurance."

"Looted 5 days of lifespan."

"Looted 3 points of Speed."

"Looted 5 days of lifespan..."

Zhu Ying could be seen running all around the bandit hideout.

The many soldiers watched him in surprise.

"Isn't that kid a recruit? He's got some nerve. He's actually checking each corpse one by one?"

"Haha, that kid is interesting."

"First time I've seen a recruit with such guts..."

The veteran soldiers all laughed as they watched Zhu Ying's actions.

In their eyes, Zhu Ying seemed to be checking whether the bandits were truly dead, as if he intended to finish them off with another strike.
