At the moment of the Silver Knight's death, two items burst forth.
This is the wonder of Abyss datafication. Clearly, the armor on its body was shattered, yet it could still drop equipment.
And even after the drop, the shattered armor and giant sword remain in reality.
Some say the Abyss is a big mix-up of time and space; the items dropped are legacies from worlds previously devoured by the Abyss.
No longer dwelling on it, Chu Xiu's focus was on the fact that these two pieces of equipment were actually [Treasure] of the Fierce Tier.
Generally speaking, Fierce Tier equipment, even if just a [Treasure], has Basic Attributes that are not weaker than a Warrior Tier [Ultimate], and may even be higher, after all, it's a jump of a major Tier.
Of course, this is just the Basic Attributes; if we include Special Attributes, it's uncertain.
But the problem is, unless you have some special Artifacts, Skills, and Talent, an Awakened cannot use high-tier items or artifacts; forced use will result in significant attribute decay.
This too is an effect of Abyss datafication.
Chu Xiu always felt datafication is a disquieting term.
It can make a Trial Taker stronger just by killing monsters, make flesh and blood drop metal equipment, allow an Awakened to leap past ten years of an ordinary Cultivator's effort in just one day.
But this instead gave Chu Xiu a sense of illusion.
As if this means Awakened are no longer real entities, but just a string of numbers that can be freely increased or decreased.
Power not slowly honed by oneself always gives an illusionary feeling.
Still, who says the real world he believes in isn't just an illusion?
Of course, Chu Xiu was practical, quickly discarding the unrealistic musings and instead began swiftly contemplating the usage of these equipments.
During the upcoming hunts, he would definitely obtain more Fierce Tier equipment, which although unusable by himself, he could fuse with Extraction Liquid and Fierce Tier Resurrected Corpses to create powerful subordinates.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu glanced at the central tower.
After killing the Silver Knight, still no higher-level creature arrived.
Does this mean he can safely hunt Fierce Tier creatures?
With the Blood Count's Wings, he could at least handle over half of the Fierce Tier creatures in this city.
But to actually kill them wouldn't be easy; Fierce Tier creatures can easily cover a distance of over a thousand meters in just seconds, and a rash pursuit might draw attention from other Fierce Tiers, ending in an overwhelming siege.
But there are still a few easier targets, ones with a high probability of being killed.
"Moreover, even if I can't kill them, my safety should still be guaranteed. Just killing the Warrior Tier subordinates of Fierce Tiers should be enough for me to level up."
"Since this is the case..."
Chu Xiu looked at the distant setting sun.
"Let the hunt begin then!"
With a wave of his hand, the body of the Silver Knight began to heal, even the damaged armor was filled up by frantically growing flesh, and soon, the formally deceased Silver Knight staggered and stood up.
The resurrected Silver Knight, like a loyal guard, faithfully protected Chu Xiu from behind.
Chu Xiu showed a satisfied smile, his figure galloped towards the distance.
...
Meanwhile, in another area on the city's outskirts.
"Clang."
With a soft sound, a manhole cover on the ground was lifted.
Zhang Qingshan peered out, cautiously glancing around, confirming there were no Corpse Demons, then gingerly set the manhole cover aside, trying not to make any noise.
With a push of his hands, his tall frame flipped out from the manhole and without hesitation, jumped onto a nearby two-story building. After confirming safety, he signaled with a gesture, and a dozen people climbed out of the sewer entrance one after another, each taking different positions.
These observation points had been thoroughly surveyed by Zhang Qingshan beforehand, after discussing all night with government analysts to ensure every detail was accounted for, they commenced the operation.
Zhang Qingshan felt tense at this moment because their mission this time was to exterminate an entire Corpse Demon group led by Warrior Tier elite creatures within three minutes and retreat safely before any Fierce Tier Corpse Demons arrived.
It's an exceptionally difficult task, a moment's negligence could lead to total annihilation!
Thus, every step must be precise to the second!
Zhang Qingshan felt his heart racing like never before, more worried about his teammates than the threat of death.
In the past three days, after consuming the resources marked by the government, Zhang Qingshan boldly proposed the idea of entering the sewers to eliminate Corpse Demons, reasoning that since Corpse Demons like to nest underground, there should naturally be plenty in the sewers.
It was a risky suggestion, though perhaps reaping vast resources, there was a greater risk of perishing amidst the complex sewer environment!
The analyst initially objected, but Zhang Qingshan, after on-site inspections and analysis, persisted in its viability. By volunteering to lead the charge as the vanguard, he ultimately attracted many followers.
And the facts proved his judgment correct; clearing the sewers enabled government forces to gather immense resources, Zhang Qingshan successfully leveled up to Level 3, and his companions reaped significant rewards too.
This made Zhang Qingshan the most esteemed among the government factions' three S-Class Warrior Tiers.
But most importantly, he gained a group of trusted comrades, willing to risk their lives alongside him.
