[Black Iron Bone Cutter: Wood 2, Iron 1, Cast Iron Block 1.]

(Description: A sharp kitchen utensil that effortlessly cuts through bones.)

It seems that this Bone Cutter is just a kitchen knife.

That makes sense.

If Gnolls could produce weapons of war, they wouldn’t have been using wooden clubs in the battle just now.

Even if it’s a kitchen knife, I guess these fellows can’t mass-produce them.

Of course, kitchen utensils are pretty good too.

Fang Hao is currently expanding into the catering industry, and the Bone Cutter will meet the kitchen staff’s needs perfectly.

Eventually, it will be handed over to Eira and various shops for use.

He proceeds to the next blueprint.

[Black Iron Cage: Iron 12, Metal Parts 8.]

(Description: A black iron cage, for imprisoning criminals or prey.)

The Black Iron Cage doesn’t need much introduction.

It’s just an ordinary metal cage.

This is what slave traders use to hold their slaves.

Although it’s not very useful, it’s better than nothing.

You never know when you might need it.

He stores the blueprint, Beast Tooth, and Warfire Coin in his inventory.

By the time Fang Hao had finished reading the blueprint details,

Anjia and the Skeleton Troll were nearly done looting.

Various items were stacked according to their categories.

[Resources: Wood 34759, Stone 24512, Straw 5647, Leather 100578, Iron 742.]

[Food: Fruit 1058, Meat 10452, Salt 854, Rotten Meat 458.]

[Furniture: Simple Wooden Bed 872, Various Cabinets 245, Tables, and Chairs…]

“Bury this rotten meat in a hole somewhere. Remember, rotten meat isn’t part of the spoils.” Fang Hao commanded loudly.

The Skeleton Troll followed the order, took the rotten meat away for burial.

It’s been a while since Fang Hao had cleared out a camp.

Moreover, the Gnoll camp really didn’t have much of anything worthwhile. The furniture was crudely made; he doubted anyone would want it even if it was left near a village.

The quantity of leather and food was decent and could supplement the food supply at the Webweaver camp.

“Fang Hao, look.” Not far away, Anjia’s voice could be heard.

Fang Hao turned and saw Anjia and Lorrey come out, the Troll behind them holding a large wooden chest.

Bang!

The chest was dropped at Fang Hao’s feet, causing golden coins to spill out all over the place.

“Oh my gosh….”

A full chest, inside were Warfire Coins, Beasthead Gold, along with many gold and silver objects, and a variety of gemstones.

The treasure reminded him of pirate’s chests, and Fang Hao was left with his mouth agape.

Looking at the dilapidated camp, then back at the chest at his feet, it was hard to connect the two.

“Where did you find it?” Fang Hao curiously asked.

“In a hidden room in that middle house.” Anjia replied.

“Amazing!” Fang Hao couldn’t help but praise.

Anjia’s ability to find things was better than a police dog.

No matter where you hide it, she can find it.

[Warfire Coins 17855, Beasthead Gold 45362, Gold 752, Silver 1674, Gemstones 152, Jade 165, Agate 45, Mithril 5, [Map: Treasure Vault].]

Wow, what a huge harvest!

Fang Hao could not help but exclaim as he looked at their haul.

These damn creatures, they are so rich!

Fang Hao stored the entire chest in his inventory and looked at the last map.

[Map: Treasure Vault]

[Category: Single-page Map]

(Description: A map drawn by an adventurer, detailing the route to a treasure vault.)

The name of the map is determined by the person who draws it.

If this map was drawn by the Gnolls, considering their intelligence, it’s hard to ascertain the authenticity of the treasure vault.

Skeleton Trolls began to pack up, while Fang Hao once again called over the Gnoll leader.

“Ma-master, how can I serve you?” The Gnoll leader, hunching slightly, said.

“You’re surprisingly wealthy.” Fang Hao complimented.

“Ah? Ah! Yes, yes.”

“Tell me about this map.” Fang Hao glanced at a map nearby.

Seeing the map in Fang Hao’s hands, the Gnoll leader realized that his hidden treasure must have been found as well.

He pondered for a moment and answered, “Master, to the east, on the road, we found a human body. The gold, gemstones and the map were all found on him.” A few months prior, the Gnolls robbed a group of humans.

After killing them all, they discovered these treasures and the map.

“Have you gone to the location marked on the map?”

“Er, master, about that… we haven’t figured out the map yet, we didn’t find the location.” The Gnoll leader grinned sheepishly.

“Alright, go back and squat down.”

“Oh, okay.”

The Gnoll leader creeped back into rank and squatted down.

After listening to the Gnoll leader, Fang Hao stored the map in the Book of Lords, revealing the location of the treasure trove on the big map.

It was located to the east, quite far off.

Seemed like they won’t have time to get there today.

Not long after, the plunder by the Skeleton Trolls came to an end.

Everyone started heading back to the Webweaver camp.

The warehouses of the dependent villages were shared. As long as these goods were transported to the Webweaver warehouse, they could be used directly in the main city in the future.

Back in the dense woods.

The Bone Dragon dropped the spoils of war onto an empty area.

Fang Hao jumped off the dragon’s back and was greeted by Domina and her people, “Master, how did it go?”

“The Gnoll camp has been leveled. These are the goods we collected from there. See what you can use, break the rest down into resources and put them in the warehouse.” Fang Hao pointed at a small mountain of furniture.

Domina looked at the variety of furniture and items, her face full of quiet pleasure.

The Webweavers’ camp had no furniture. Even the houses were formed from the web.

Although it made no difference to their lives, having some furniture was a good thing.

“Oh.” Domina responded, she turned around and ordered her people: “Pick out anything useful, transport the food and resources directly to the warehouse.”

Rustle rustle rustle!!

Countless Giant Spider Hatchlings came out from the dense woods.

Like moving ants, they silently formed a line.

They picked up the food and wood and headed towards the Webweaver camp.

Spider soldiers also started picking out furniture and discussed quietly about the uses of these items.

Not long after.

The surrendered Gnolls, escorted by the Skeleton Trolls, came back and joined the other Gnolls squatting on the empty ground.

Fang Hao counted. There were 432 Gnolls.

In the Webweaver camp, inside the chief’s nest.

Fang Hao reclined against the web-wall.

Domina once again looked displeased, “Master, I think it’s unfair. Why do we have to keep those damn Gnolls? They are bandits, God knows how many died at their hands!”

Fang Hao directly found a Slave Contract in the Book of Lords.

“You sign with the Gnoll leader. From now on let the Gnolls be responsible for mining the mines.” Fang Hao said out loud.

“I sign it? You mean, make that damn Gnoll my slave?” The expression on Domina’s face softened significantly.

She could torture the Gnolls at her leisure if they became her slaves.

“Yes. Keep an eye on them, let them mine the mines. Do you understand what I mean?” Fang Hao stared steadily into Domina’s eyes.

Fang Hao had interacted with Gnolls before.

He had some understanding of their character.

If Fang Hao and the Gnoll leader signed the contract and gave Gnolls the same status as Domina, many problems might arise in the future.

Instead of that, he would rather let Domina watch over these restless fellows.

“Understood, master, I will do it right.” Domina briskly nodded.
