Chapter 30 - Saving the Dogheads

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Chen immediately used his eye of truth to investigate and examine their stats.

“Demonic spider LV5. Race: Demonic Beast. Damage: 23-27. Health: 190/300. Defense: 10. Magic Resistance: 5. Skills: Poison exposure at LV1 and web-weaving at LVL 5 (Spiders weave spiderwebs and wrap up the enemy. Spiderweb has 1,000 points of sturdiness, with a cooling-down time of 1 hour).”

“Has fear of fire (will receive additional damage when being attacked by fire attribute attacks).”

There were a total of three large-sized spiderwebs and four small spider monsters. They were completely capable of fighting.

Most importantly, these spiderwebs were actually in a state of low health. It was clear that the commotion in the left tunnel earlier was because they were fighting with some creatures.

For example, the bulging things in the spider webs should be the creatures that had fought with them before.

But now, they seemed to have become prey.

Just as these spider web monsters had walked out of the tunnel…

The torches that Jiang Chen had prepared were put to good use.

Because the spider web monsters were afraid of fire, the damage of fire was much higher than the damage of physical attacks.

The torch burned onto the spider web, igniting it.

A series of damage appeared.

Damage began to appear continuously, continuously reducing the sturdiness of the spider web.

In addition, some sparks flew out, igniting the spider web attached to the ground.

“Bzzzz!”

The spider let out a shrill cry.

It immediately locked onto Jiang Chen and the others.

Just as it was about to attempt to leave the range of the rain of fire and pursue them… the wolf cavalry’s spears and spearmen’s shots were fired almost at the same time!

They formed a small-scale long-range barrage.

It struck the bodies of these spider demons.

It prevented them from escaping and trapped them within the range of the rain of fire.

Streaks of damage appeared.

Following that, a few people charged forward and they began to engage in close combat.

They trapped the spiders within the range of the rain of fire.

The rain of fire greatly suppressed the attack frequency of the spiders.

As the fourth wave of the rain of fire fell, the spiders were all turned into ashes.

“Your subordinate, the wolf cavalry Parker, killed the spider, a Level 5. Obtained soul 1x.”

“Your subordinate, Zhang Fei, killed the spider, Level 3. Obtained soul 1x.”

“Your pet, Redtooth, has killed a devil spider at LVL 4 and obtained a soul 1x.”

The spiderweb burned out, disintegrated, and the flames slowly stopped.

Jiang Chen rode on Redtooth and began to clean up the battlefield.

He noticed that something seemed to be squirming under the spiderweb.

“It looks like the thing in the spiderweb is still alive?”

Jiang Chen noticed this and drew his sword and pointed.

“Open up the spiderweb!”

The few of them immediately moved forward and used their fangs to carefully cut open the burning cobwebs.

The flexibility of these cobwebs was indeed very good. It took them a long time to destroy the cobwebs.

Each cobweb contained four or five short and ugly creatures. These creatures were similar to humans. They were around one meter tall, but their heads were like that of dogs.

They wore ragged clothes while a few wore worn-out leather armor.

They even held weapons such as short knives and daggers in their hands.

They were all dogheads. After these dogheads broke free from the spider web, they all cried out in unison.

They looked at the crowd in fear.

Jiang Chen sized them up.

These dogheads’ weapons and armor were very simple and crude. They were simply like the most abject refugees in the wilderness.

In addition to their short stature, thin and weak bodies, and ugly appearances, they actually looked rather comical.

Their bodies were also covered with a few fine scales that seemed somewhat similar to the lizard people.

However, Jiang Chen noticed one thing, that almost every doghead had an iron pickaxe hanging from their waists.

These dogheads used a peculiar tone of “Waah waah” to bark randomly. This was their unique language.

Judging from their voices, they sounded very much like puppies. These ugly little fellows should possess a certain level of intelligence.

At this moment, an aged doghead with peculiar oil paint on his face walked out.

He held a rough wooden short stick in his hand and walked left and right as he looked towards Jiang Chen, who was riding on the back of his large red teeth and looking down from above. 

He shakily propped the short stick on the ground and placed one hand on his chest as he bowed.

He spoke slowly with a dry and unpleasant voice.

“Cough…”

“Your… your esteemed Lord, thank you for defeating those abominable creatures that spit silk…”

“You saved my… our lives…”

The old doghead spoke intermittently. He wasn’t very familiar with the human language.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly as he sized up its attributes.

“The old doghead prophet, level: LV6, race is crypt creature, magic damage is 37-40, health is 233/561, magic power is at 300, armor at 10, and magic resistance at 15. Skills are soul wither (consumes 60 magic power to deal magic damage to the enemy and weaken the enemy’s state), soul flame (burns one’s own health to release a flame that can burn another’s soul), and passive skill mining mastery (increases the efficiency of mining resources by 20%).”

“Do you live here?”

Jiang Chen quickly skimmed through the information and memorized some important information as he asked at the same time.

The elderly doghead prophet couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Chen’s question.

Being willing to communicate meant that the human in front of him didn’t have any enmity.

He bowed once more.

“Yes, my Lord…”

“My tribe… is in this mine… these detestable weaver monsters have always treated us as food…”

His words came and went, making Jiang Chen feel a bit uncomfortable.

However, Jiang Chen smiled.

“Very good, you won’t have to worry about these weaver monsters in the future, because you’ll become my spoils of war.”

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words.

The elderly doghead prophet was stunned.

He didn’t speak out in rebuttal, nor did he say anything else. He only slowly turned around and spoke to the doghead behind him with a “Waah waah waah” sound.

All the dogheads were stunned…

“Respected Lord… you can’t do this… We are very weak and can’t help you share your burdens…”

He knelt on the ground and prayed sincerely.

Jiang Chen turned a blind eye to this and turned his head to give Parker and the others a look.

Instantly, they pulled out their weapons at the same time and clashed with each other.

The sound of metal clanging rang out.

The meaning of the threat was self-evident..
