The highest attribute is 146, and the lowest attribute is 116. – When this kind of panel is taken out, let alone level 9, some people will believe it even if it is level 15.

One piece of second-stage sub-legendary, four pieces of dark gold, and several pieces of gold – Damian's equipment can be said to be too luxurious, not to mention that there are several pieces of unused dark gold equipment in his card inventory.

The manor is nearly 80 kilometers away from Damian. For Damian now, it won't even take an hour to run there on foot.

146 points of agility, that's nearly 15 times the speed of ordinary people.

Damian ran with all his strength, the wind howling in his ears as he zipped past everything.

Zombies were wandering on the street, and an afterimage passed by them. When the blurry shadow disappeared from the street, only then did the zombies roared belatedly. 

(Stupid mob) 

...

An hour later, Damian stopped in the woods, stood on a thick branch, and looked at the manor not far away.

In less than half a month, the once luxurious manor was now extremely dilapidated. Bright red weeds grew more than one meter high, and thorny vines entangled the pillars of the manor.

The white exterior walls of the villa were peeling paint and plaster off layer by layer, and spider webs can be seen everywhere.

The stench of death hung in the air. It seems as if no one has lived there for half a century.

But under the seemingly peaceful appearance, it is actually full of crises.

"Tshhzzz"

A sharp sound broke through the air suddenly, and a python with a length of more than ten meters, covered with fine scales, ejected from the tree behind.

Seeing that the fangs were about to bite him, Damian nimbly dodged to the side, and at the same time raised the winter's wrath and swung it back fiercely.

With the blessing of the python's falling speed, the sword directly cut it from the middle, turning it into two popsicles and inserting them into the ground.

Without looking back, Damian walked away. There were still four hours before nightfall, and he had to take away the legendary equipment in the treasure chest before then.

Damian jumped over the wall and jumped into the manor.

"Roar!"

Two mutated creatures, which he didn't know whether were wolves or dogs, jumped out instantly.  Their bodies visibly expanded several times, and their hair were almost gone, revealing their bulging muscles and their big mouths. Which is full of ferocious fangs.

Damian's arm turned into an afterimage as ice crystals flashed, and the two mutated creatures were killed and cut into several pieces.

"Hiss, hiss..."

Before Damian could take further action, the grass shook and dozens of venomous snakes gathered from all directions.

Damian did not fight with them. He jumped more than ten meters high, jumped out of the grass in few steps, and came to the small square paved with stones.

There are all kinds of luxury cars parked on it, with license plates with all kinds of fancy numbers (6969, 0420, 0786, 0007..). It just became even more clear that people living here were super rich. 

Several deer-shaped and angry rabbit-like mutated creatures rushed towards him from the side.

Damian easily dealt with them.

Just as he was about to enter the building, a loud rumbling sound came from the small decorative tree garden planted not far away.

The next moment, the trees were shaking violently. Damian focused his eyes, and just then a black shadow suddenly came out.

[ Species: wild boar

Level:4

Attributes–

Strength:115

Agility:52

Constitution:143

Spirit:20

Skills -

Brutal Crash: The next collision type attack will increase the strength by 30%. ]

"...." Damian's eyelids twitched, not out of fear, but out of sheer emotion. "Wild animals are really wild animals."

Despite his low level and lack of equipment, this boar's physical fitness alone is much better than that of Damian, who is equipped with high-end equipment at level 9.

Fortunately, the agility value of this guy is low and there is also no wisdom in it.

Damian easily dodged the wild boar's collision head on and stabbed it's neck.

For the first time, his mighty sword did not directly cut off the target's head, but showed a slight sign of getting stuck when it was cut halfway.

Although his frosty is a sub-legendary weapon, it has not evolved to the final stage after all. In addition, Damian's own strength is relatively low to fully use this weapon. 

When facing an enemy with high physical fitness and high defense, it is normal that a casual swing of the sword cannot kill the opponent.

"If one slash won't do, then what about this." Damian said as he used his skill. [Frost Strike.]

The winter's wrath blade exploded with cold air, and it cut through instantly. The huge boar head fell to the ground, and the body continued to rush forward for a distance before falling down with a heavy thud. 

[Experience Points +18.]

After deducting the 2 experience points given by the slayer's title, the level 4 wild boar gave him 16 experience points, twice that of ordinary level 4 zombies, and also dropped a silver-level top guard.

[Equipment: Savage Breastplate

Grade:Silver

Effects: Constitution +8, Physical resistance +5%

Equipment requirements: level 4 ]

Damian took out a useless card from his inventory and threw it away, then put the breastplate card into his backpack.

He has already thought of where to go with these useless equipment and skill books that he doesn't need. As video games, of course there's also a wandering merchant here in apocalypse too. He just has to find one. 

No mutant animals came after the boar's death. This is not a dungeon after all. There is a clear sense of territory among the beasts and zombies, and they have already killed quite a few of them fighting amongst each other.

But that doesn't make the estate any less dangerous.

After all, these beasts and zombies are just appetizers, more or less of them makes no difference. The real boss is the tiger guarding the treasure chest.

Damian stepped into the villa. In the lobby on the first floor, the gorgeous chadelier was smashed to the ground, and the soft red carpet was covered with dried black blood. Several people in suits and dresses were disemboweled, with more than half of their brains missing, and they could no longer be recognized. 

Damian walked up the stairs. The villa was extremely quiet, and the creak of the stairs echoed throughout the villa.

His eyes fell on the second floor corridor. Broken walls, fallen chandeliers, beast corpses and blood stains.

Although the villa is very quiet now, these things can tell how tragic the massacre was in the villa not long ago.

Compared to the courtyard where other animals can survive, there is only one creature in the huge villa: the zombie tiger.

Everything else was brutally hunted by it.

When he stepped onto the stairs to the fourth floor, waves of low roars that made his soul tremble, gradually spread in the air.

'Good luck me.' Damian said as he tensed up. 

Stepping onto the fifth floor, at the second pass of the corridor on the right, an extremely beautiful creature walked out.

Unlike other mutated creatures that usually become extremely ugly, the tiger as the guardian of the treasure chest seems to have evolved more than being infected and turning into a zombie.

The brightly colored soft fur shimmered with metallic luster, and as the steel whip-like tail flicked gently, a series of metallic collision sounds echoed in the air.

Underneath the body with bulging muscles but not swollen, are four thick and powerful animal legs, revealing claws with sharp nails like daggers, about the same size as an ordinary person's head.

The tiger's eyes were captivating. It stared at Damian, raised its head and let out a violent tiger roar that shocked his soul.

Roaawwwrrrrr
