Baptism of Fire

Li Chen was caught between laughter and tears, unsure whether he should feel happy or worried.

The First Generation Zombie King and the Second Generation Zombie King returned.

Each of them carried an enormous bundle on his back.

"Master, we have eliminated all the enemies."

The First Generation Zombie King landed and dropped the huge bundle from his back with a thud.

It looked heavy and substantial.

Who knew what was inside?

Likewise, after the Second Generation Zombie King arrived beside Li Chen,

he set down the enormous bundle he had been carrying.

It also made the ground tremble slightly.

Li Chen was not at all surprised that they had wiped out the enemy's main force.

He was only curious about what these two massive bundles contained.

"What are these?"

Li Chen stretched out a foot and kicked the bundle beside him.

A crisp clinking of crystals immediately came from inside.

The sound was beautiful and clear.

It felt strangely familiar.

As Li Chen moved, a faint energy fluctuation suddenly appeared in the air.

Li Chen's heart immediately stirred.

"Master, these are all spoils of war we seized."

"Of course, this is only a very, very, very small portion. We gathered all the other spoils and placed them somewhere safe."

As the First Generation Zombie King spoke, he used Mental Power.

The bundle before them immediately seemed to be opened by an invisible giant hand.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter..."

A large pile of dark-blue, faceted crystals spilled out.

Just as Li Chen had guessed.

These were all Energy Crystal Cores.

"Tier 6 Energy Crystal Cores..."

Li Chen's brows furrowed slightly. He was not as pleased as expected.

"Yes, Master."

"These are all..."

The First Generation Zombie King drew a soft breath and exchanged a look with the Second Generation Zombie King.
