The recent extermination of the Burrow Monster Swarm took Zong Shen over an hour in total.

Including the unexpected encounter with the Raven Saintess Shafuri, roughly two hours have passed.

It's now a little past eight in the morning, with over twenty minutes to go until it's nine.

Due to appropriate tactical coordination, the warriors are generally in good condition, and their trump card skills haven't been used. Zong Shen wants to target a significant objective and make a big push before the noon refresh, so today's hunting trip could be considered perfect.

The Burrow Monsters just now contributed over 16,000 points, and together with the over a thousand points accumulated from the territory and Burrow Frontline in these two hours, Zong Shen's points have increased from 60,002 to 77,116. These last few days of frenzied hunting, plus the warmth given by the Burrow Hero, have made Zong Shen's points skyrocket, greatly surpassing the previous days.

In just the past few hours from yesterday afternoon to this morning, nearly 20,000 Burrow Monsters have fallen at his hands, along with 9 Burrow Heroes. The Burrow Heroes alone account for 9,000 points, making his points balance shoot up like a rocket.

Not to mention, Zong Shen has also captured four Wailing Liches. If he were to eliminate them, it would be another 4,000 points and extraction value.

Killing so many Burrow Monsters this morning has raised his level to lv23 [Experience Value: 3767/48750], which is undoubtedly a leading level among the lords.

The last time Zong Shen added points was when he reached level 20, so now he still has three distributable attribute and skill points.

He allocated all his weapon proficiency to two-handed weapons.

Currently, his Strength Attribute has reached 81 points, Agility 42 points, while Intelligence and Charm Attributes are both at 30 points.

His demand for skill points currently exceeds any other need; at least a 10-level investment for passive skills of the four major types is possible. Many have not been raised to this threshold, including Strong Strike and Iron Bone in the Strength category.

Zong Shen, riding Pigsy, pondered over the distribution of attribute points. Considering that Intelligence can grant extra skill points, he decided to allocate the three available attribute points to Intelligence, raising his Intelligence Attribute to 33 points and his distributable skill points to six points.

Besides, his Mage attributes have also been enhanced: Magic Damage increased from 36 to 39.6, and Mana went from 240 to 264 points.

These six attribute points were all added to Strong Strike, increasing its level to 15. Now, his basic attack power calculation formula is Weapon Attack x (1.0 (Basic Attack Multiplier) + 0.81 (Strength Attribute Bonus) + (Weapon Proficiency Bonus) + 1.2 (Strong Strike Bonus)).

According to this formula, assuming Zong Shen wields the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword with both hands.

Then, his damage calculation will be 72 (randomly selecting a value in the range of 71~74) x [1.0+0.81+0.135+1.2] = 226 points of damage!

This figure definitely qualifies as high damage, especially since raising Strong Strike by 6 points equates to a 48% increase in damage output.

With an output damage of up to 226 points, he can still inflict over a hundred points of actual damage even against heavy-armored units. This is Zong Shen's true power now.

As his level increases and equipment updates, Zong Shen's power undergoes a considerable boost. At this moment, Zong Shen is undoubtedly among the most powerful lords.

"Hehe, I wonder what level Ah Ze is at now."

"I suppose he's still getting kicked by me; a big brother will always be a big brother."

Zong Shen closed the attribute panel, suddenly remembering the kid Ah Ze.

They haven't been in touch much these past few days; Zong Shen just routinely checks Zong Ze's status in the Friends Channel daily.

His younger brother is quite the Emperor of Luck, enjoying good fortune. His previous development pace was fully comparable to Medina in this region, making him a high-ranking figure among the lords.

As long as he doesn't get reckless and focuses on secure growth, he assuredly can survive well.

Gathering his thoughts, Zong Shen focused on riding Pigsy to lead the way ahead.

After a dozen minutes, they advanced another five or six kilometers westward, still about ten kilometers from Odu Village. Unfortunately, they didn't encounter any other Burrow Monster Swarms along the way, though they did find several burrows. However, each burrow could only produce a few Burrow Monster Swarms every three minutes, evidently unable to satisfy Zong Shen's appetite.

He began to slow down his pace while opening the Regional Channel.

These Burrow Monsters couldn't possibly vanish without a trace; they merely shifted from one place to another, remaining in a state of flux.

Opening the Regional Channel, Zong Shen found numerous calls for help. Unfortunately, most of these calls were in vain, though some lords still had the energy to engage in idle chatter, highlighting the differences among the lords.

Zong Shen observed the requests for assistance for a while, some of which indicated geographical features of their territory's approximate location, while others were vaguer.

Patiently sifting through the information, he finally filtered possible monster swarm locations using Odu Village as a keyword. One place was approximately 16 kilometers south of Odu Village, where there was a swarm of more than 8,000 monsters. However, this information came from two hours ago, with the record of the lord who issued this call for help now showing a greyed-out death status.
