In truth, Zong Shen really was short on ground mounts.
He might have tamed Dragonblood Griffons and Scorpion-tailed Tigers, and even captured a pureblood black dragon with his own hands.
But those were all flying mounts. Their enormous size made them conspicuous wherever they flew.
As for ground mounts, his earliest ones were the [Old Travel Horses] supplied when he first arrived, followed by Avalon's native Grassland Horses, and then Bajie, the Blood-Toothed Wild Boar.
For a while, Zong Shen had actually become a boar knight.
Now that he had obtained the [Oathless One's Nightmare Warhorse Summoning Scroll (Radiant Grade III)], he could finally fill that gap with a ground mount fast enough for his needs.
He would also gain an undead helper with legendary-species strength.
That alone made this recruitment scroll worth the points he had spent on a Lucky Lottery Ticket.
Putting away the summoning scroll, Zong Shen immediately took the fourth orb of light.
It contained a one-handed steel claw, an epic-grade weapon forged from precious Valyrian steel.
Zong Shen was no stranger to Valyrian steel. He had once seen [Valyrian Steel Ingot (Purple)] in a [Point Mystery Box]. The material naturally countered True Dragons, with additional destructive effects against dragon armor and Dragon Scales in particular.
Moreover, Valyrian steel was far harder and tougher than other alloys of the same grade. With sufficiently refined forging techniques and suitable rune materials, it could be made into dragon-slaying weapons.
Although Valyrian Steel Ingots were only purple rare-grade materials, they were actually extremely scarce.
They were nowhere near as easy to obtain as other materials of the same grade.
Not to mention that Valyrian steel had enormous forging potential. Used as a base material, it could produce weapons two or three grades above its own.
