Chapter 640: Chapter 522, Bite Them Hard (One Update Today). Chapter 640: Chapter 522, Bite Them Hard (One Update Today). The Skeleton Army began to continue clearing the remaining zombies.

Wu Heng then started to sum up the characteristics of the Light Knight he had just summoned.

From its appearance, its body belonged to the elemental type of summons, not only its torso but its armor and weapons as well.

The Water Elemental Shark summoned from the Water Monster Conch obtained earlier was an elemental summon, too.

The elemental attributes were different, but essentially there was no significant distinction.

The biggest advantage was the absence of physical burden.

Although it would still be attacked and sustain certain damage, there wouldn’t be fatal injuries like those to a physical body.

Moreover, the summon’s level wasn’t low, currently at fourth-tier, and it could continue to rise by slaying necromantic creatures.

If it reached tier five, it would be equivalent to level 18.

An indirect increase in a high-level bodyguard, essentially.

As for its method of attack, it was the standard slashing attack; its most significant trait was that the target would catch fire after each attack.

I haven’t tested whether the same effect occurs when attacking normal living beings.

But more likely, it was a suppression effect against necromantic creatures.

Looking at it now, this Special Item still wasn’t bad.

“If only there were no side effects,” he mused.

…

Not far away.

Glenda flew back, tossing the sheathed Evil Sword, “The Mutated Zombies are all dead, and there are some zombies in the buildings over there, let the Skeletons search the area.”

“Yeah, with your help, the process has sped up,” Wu Heng praised as he stored the Evil Sword.

Hovering nearby, Glenda asked, “What was that glowing thing on you just now? It felt somewhat dangerous.”

Wu Heng explained, “Didn’t the association distribute rewards yesterday? One of them, an Emblem from The Holy Court, allows for the summoning of a Light Attribute Knight to assist in combat.”

Upon hearing about The Holy Court, Glenda was slightly taken aback, “You, a Necromancer, why would you want such a reward? It’s bad luck.”

The words sounded awkward, but the meaning was clear.

Even though Wu Heng had no tie with The Holy Court, the path of his profession was contrary to theirs.

More contact with them would easily lead to problems.

“I had no choice; the reward was specified by the association,” Wu Heng paused slightly before continuing, “I’ll make use of it for now. The knight summoned has decent combat abilities. If I no longer need it later, it will serve as good protection for Wei’er, and Mini.”

“Alright, but you can’t go astray. Xiao Xiao and I are counting on you,” Glenda warned.

“Don’t worry; I won’t abandon or give up.”

“Mm.”

The person and spirit exchanged a few words.

The battle on the field had also ended.

The Skeletons automatically dispersed, beginning to clean up the battleground.

Wu Heng directed several Skeletons toward the building where Glenda had killed the zombies to search for corpses.

He stood by, waiting for a while.

Soon after.

The bodies of Mutated Zombies and Evolved Zombies were collected and piled up together.

Wu Heng started the transformation, then collected all the Corpse Cores and put them into the Space Ring.

After that, he continued to release [Battleground of Remains] along the way.

One by one, the Skeletons rose to their feet, shaking their bodies, joining the ranks.

When he had come, the skeletons he had brought were just over 50,000, but now they had at least doubled in number.

A glance over revealed a dense sea of bleached-white bone skeletons.

Wu Heng took out the communication device, “Tell the convoy to come over, and let’s move on.”

“Received!”

The convoy came from behind.

Wu Heng got back into the truck and continued onwards.

The sound of explosions was loud, attracting all the surrounding zombies.

The path taken by the convoy became even smoother.

…

After driving for a while.

The lead vehicle suddenly started to slow down, and a voice came through the walkie-talkie, “Sister Qi, there’s a roadblock ahead with a bridge repair sign urging a detour. Should we keep going forward?”

As they spoke, the convoy slowed down and gradually came to a halt.

Qi Hancai furrowed her brow and picked up the walkie-talkie to inquire, “What’s the state of the repair? Can our convoy make it through?”

“Can’t see it from the car, not sure if we can get through,” came the reply through the walkie-talkie.

Then, someone exited the lead vehicle.

Approaching with a crumpled flyer, handed it through the window, “Sister Qi, it’s written here.”

Qi Hancai took it, glanced over it, and then passed it to Wu Heng.

“The bridge ahead is under emergency repair, please take a detour:
The bridge ahead has suffered structural damage; as of now until June 8, the bridge is under emergency repair. We request all vehicles and pedestrians to take a detour. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Construction Supervisor — Liang Zheng.”

“I’ll arrange for someone to take a look up ahead,” Qi Hancai turned and said.

“Wait a moment,” Wu Heng interjected.

He waited for Xiao Xiao, who was responsible for high-altitude scouting, to bring back the news.

Wu Heng then continued, “It’s fine, keep moving forward, detouring would take us too far.”

Qi Hancai nodded and spoke into the walkie-talkie, “Move the signs blocking the road and continue forward.”

“Received.”

The roadblocks ahead were cleared.

The convoy began to draw closer again.

As the convoy moved forward, from the truck Wu Heng rode in, he could see the nearly man-height orange barriers.

And the bold words, “Please detour for construction.”

…

On the bridge connecting two roads.

Some houses had been erected.

Iron frames, colored steel plates–it looked like temporary booths, but they were built solidly enough to withstand the cold winds.

The bridge’s two sides, connecting to the roads, had been cut off at the front and back.

Only the middle position, where the houses were located, was supported by huge bridge pillars.

The separated parts looked like ancient drawbridges, which could prevent zombies from wandering into the buildings.

Creating a unique refuge.

The sound of engines hummed.

A person rode a motorcycle quickly approaching, waving at those guarding the other side.
