The first Disaster-level zombie dropped a Magic Seed among other items, a great item that could grant a Hidden Attribute. Although Wang Tao no longer needed it, Ding Yuqin and the others did, since having four Awakenings was part of the conditions for ascending to the Seventh Level.

Besides the seed, the materials it dropped were special; it was the complete skeleton of that Disaster Zombie.

[Red Stone Skeleton: Crafting material, can increase Attack and Defense]

The skeleton was huge, over five meters tall, basically a scaled-up version of a human skeleton.

Most zombie skeletons are yellow or black, but this one was relatively paler, with some red patterns on parts of the bones.

Most importantly, the description of the skeleton mentioned it would additionally increase Attack and Defense! Wang Tao was eager to see what kind of equipment could be crafted from it. He immediately opened the Loot Pack it had dropped.

Besides the Sixth-Rank Crystal Core, Strength Potion, Awakening Energy Beads, and Advanced Awakening Secret Keys, there was also a blueprint.

[Redstone Bone Armor Set: Increases Defense of the Equipment]

Wang Tao had all the crafting materials and immediately started crafting.

A moment later, a gigantic set of armor appeared in front of Wang Tao.

[Redstone Bone Armor Set]

[Sixth Rank (Epic)]

[Durability +600, Defensive Power +350, Attack Speed +15%, Movement Speed +15%, Defensive Power +5%, Attack Power +5%, Ability: Uninlaid (requires Awakening Energy to activate)]

The appearance of this set of equipment was quite peculiar, sporting a skeleton design with those red patterns on the bone armor emitting a faint red light, looking quite fierce and demonic.

Of course, the appearance wasn’t important, although it looked pretty cool; the main thing was still its Attributes. And indeed, the attributes of this Battle Armor significantly added extra Attack and Defense.

It was Wang Tao’s first time seeing defensive gear that added Attack Power, and although it was only 5%, it was still Attack Power.

Besides the extra Attack and Defense Power, it also added 15% to his Attack Speed and Movement Speed! Not to mention the 350 Defensive Power, which was the highest among all his current equipment.

In the Loot Packs that Wang Tao obtained from hunting zombies, there was always a blueprint, but usually, they were for individual pieces of equipment, slowly forming a set. The chance of dropping a complete set’s diagram at once was very small.

Since the apocalypse began, Wang Tao had hunted countless zombies, exploding only a few sets of similar diagrams, none of which suited him. He had always used the combined Night Demon Set.

But now this Redstone Bone Armor Set... it seemed very suitable for him!

Wang Tao checked his Sixth Rank Night Demon Set.

Compared to the Redstone Bone Armor, the Night Demon Set, although it had a 30% increase in Attack Speed, it lacked 150 Defensive Power and 5% extra Attack Power and Defense Power.

The 30% Attack Speed was definitely great, but compared to other attributes, it still fell short. But then again, the Night Demon Set had a Suit Attribute—[Night Demon Set: All Basic Attributes are enhanced].

The Basic Attributes added by the Night Demon Set were not increased by a percentage but a fixed value, leading to diminishing returns—the stronger Wang Tao’s Constitution, the less evident the effect.

Of course, these were still actual Attributes, providing some enhancement.

So, adding this Suit Attribute, besides defensive power which is still lower than Redstone Bone Armor Set, other aspects were about equal.

However, the Night Demon Set included more pieces, not just normal armor but weapons, gloves, etc., which could be used separately.

The Redstone Bone Armor Set consisted of only five pieces: helmet, chest armor, belt, leg armor, and combat boots. These five pieces could not be used separately; if separated, only the defensive properties would hold, and other attributes would not take effect.

The two sets of equipment each had their pros and cons, one set high in defense and attack, but a bit slower; one set fast in attack speed but lacking in some attributes...

Wang Tao suddenly found himself in a dilemma—wait! He suddenly remembered that the equipment in the Night Demon Set that increased the 30% Attack Speed was the Night Demon Gloves! Redstone Bone Armor Set did not include gloves, meaning that he did not have to change his Night Demon Gloves, he could just switch the other parts to the Redstone Bone Armor Set. That way, he could completely retain the 30% Attack Speed!

So, all things considered, the advantage of the Redstone Bone Armor Set was greater.

Wang Tao immediately switched from the Night Demon Set to the Redstone Bone Armor Set.

And honestly, it looked much cooler than the Night Demon Set once he put it on!

After all, the Night Demon Set was too understated. Wearing the Night Demon Set with a coat over it made it look quite ordinary.

Whereas the Redstone Bone Armor Set was more dominating, especially the helmet, modeled after a ferocious skull, making it look quite extraordinary. Combined with Wang Tao’s split cloak in red and black and his tall, muscular build... the imposing presence was tremendous!

Whether it was Wang Tao, Ding Yuqin, or Wei Zhenguo, everyone was very satisfied with the appearance of this set of equipment.

As for the enhanced attributes, needless to say, just the 5% attack power increase alone was very valuable.
