The strength of the wild monster was a bit high, or perhaps the skeleton puppet was just too weak.
After killing the ghoul, the guard saluted Ma Lu and then returned to his original position.
Ma Lu then took a few steps forward to the place where the ghoul had fallen, and picked up a pile of bones.
As he had expected, they were all of inferior quality.
These inferior bones were also the least valuable materials from the Abyss, with about 100 of them needed to exchange for a single Abyssal Blood Clam.
Afterward, Ma Lu tried fighting a few other kinds of monsters; he chose those around the outskirts of the town, so he could always run back if the situation turned sour, leaving the monsters behind for the town gate guards to deal with.
After several such attempts, one of the guards couldn't take it anymore. He volunteered to accompany Ma Lu on his monster hunts.
