[Strength Potion (Basic)]: After drinking, increases Strength by 2 points.
[Antidote]: After drinking, removes corpse poison.
These two potions have ordinary effects; compared to Dragonblood Potion, which increases all four main attributes by 20 points, they are worlds apart.
However, attribute-increasing potions are still very valuable. A bottle of basic Strength Potion could probably sell for around 300,000 gold.
As for the Antidote, it only removes corpse poison, so it's cheaper.
Qin Qiu, as the young lady of the Qin family, had the authority to decide how the loot was distributed.
She directly gave the Strength Potion to Lu Fan, and the Antidotes to Sun Ge and Xiao Jia.
Since the Strength Potion was the most valuable, it went straight to Lu Fan, clearly showing her favor toward him.
Lu Fan thought to himself, "No wonder she's from a big family. She handles things with a certain adult maturity."
Of course, Lu Fan didn't refuse the Strength Potion. After receiving it, he drank it immediately—who would turn down extra attribute points?
After a short rest, the eight set off again, moving deeper into the village.
Every bungalow in the village hid several zombies. Once Lu Fan and the others disturbed them, they would roar and rush out to attack the intruders.
Moreover, the deeper into the village they went, the more powerful the Blood Zombies became, and Qin Qiu, Sun Ge, and the others felt the pressure increase accordingly.
Eventually, a third type of zombie appeared—the Ironskin Zombie.
Ironskin Zombie: (Quasi-Boss, aggressive monster)
Level: 20
Strength: 106
Agility: 85
Spirit: 20
Stamina: 122
Skills:
Corpse Poison (claws and teeth carry corpse poison, causing continuous health loss and turning the victim into an Ironskin Zombie upon death)
Grapple and Bite (grabs and bites the enemy)
Hard Skin (enters Ironskin state, increasing Stamina by 40%)
Compared to Blood Zombies, this monster had higher stats, especially Stamina, which more than doubled. Xiao Jia's knight spear couldn't pierce the Ironskin Zombie at all.
When the Ironskin Zombie used Hard Skin, even Sun Ge's giant sword only produced a shower of sparks without breaking its defense.
Fortunately, its Spirit attribute was low, so it wasn't highly resistant to magic damage. The damage from Qin Qiu and other mages still troubled it somewhat.
Besides the mages, there was one other person who posed a great threat to the Ironskin Zombie—Lu Fan.
Lu Fan's Strength attribute was so high that while the Ironskin Zombie had strong defense, to Lu Fan it was only the difference between taking one strike and three strikes to kill.
Therefore, even with the appearance of the Ironskin Zombie, Lu Fan never lost his spot as the top damage dealer. Every time he used Dragonfang Strike, he instantly killed a large group of zombies, causing his damage numbers to soar far beyond everyone else's.
Soon, more than four hours passed.
The group had been moving through the Village of Despair, leaving no zombie or treasure chest unchecked.
They opened a total of eleven chests, yielding three pieces of bronze equipment, twenty-one Antidotes, and seven attribute potions.
All these items were distributed by Qin Qiu, and Lu Fan had no objections.
Qin Qiu's distribution clearly favored Lu Fan; among the seven attribute potions, all three Strength potions went to him.
Lu Fan only took one Antidote for backup.
Among the three pieces of equipment, only one—the [Despair Bracers]—was suitable for Lu Fan. Qin Qiu gave it to him and kept the other two bronze pieces for herself.
[Despair Bracers] (Bronze Equipment)
Level Requirement: 10
Class Requirement: None
Strength +16
Stamina +17
This was a level 10 bronze equipment piece, boosting both Strength and Stamina by a total of 33 points—definitely a minor rare item.
Of course, compared to the level 10 gold-tier equipment—Ink Dragon Scale Greatsword—Lu Fan found this gear somewhat unimpressive.
Still, it added 33 attribute points, so Lu Fan equipped it immediately, raising his Strength and Stamina a bit more.
After four hours of sweeping the village, the usual howls and wails that echoed throughout the Village of Despair had ceased, leaving a strange, unsettling silence.
At this time, everyone's quest panel showed 1199/1200 completion, meaning one monster remained alive in this Secret Realm.
As usual, the last remaining monster should be the dungeon's Boss, and only by defeating it could they receive their rewards and exit the dungeon.
Everyone searched carefully for another hour, but found nothing.
Besides Lu Fan's group of eight, there was no sign of any living creature in the entire village.
"This is really strange. Could the last monster be invisible? We've basically turned this place upside down and still can't find it," Cai'er's patience was wearing thin as her teeth ground audibly.
