These slaves were not a small number, possibly over a hundred. Compared to the commonly seen goblins and kobolds in the wild, these little monsters were more emaciated, with scabbed scars all over their bodies.
Most likely, they were used as slaves for the Fruit Garden District, performing simple tasks such as tilling the land, watering, and weeding.
Uh, it seemed there was more to it.
Through the sharp eyes of the Hurricane War Hawk piercing through the treetops, Mu Yuan noticed more details. There were numerous bodies half-buried around the root of the fruit trees, faintly revealing features of greenskins, kobolds, and so on.
Goodness, this was a one-stop industry from slavery to fertilizer! This snake man tribe was quite advanced.
The fruit garden was an important resource site, so Mu Yuan immediately sent a battalion of Skeleton Warriors and ghosts to take over.
However, when his troops entered this forest, the goblins and other monsters that were originally doltish, stunned, and honestly lying under the tree shadows, their eyes suddenly glowed a faint bloody red. Their dull faces eerily deformed and bulging veins slipped out, looking hideous and sick.
They roared and fearlessly pounced towards the skeleton warriors that were ten or even a hundred times stronger than them.
Then they quickly fell in battle.
Mu Yuan scratched his head, “What’s the logic here? They obeyed the snake men while they were being kept. And I, I’m the hero who killed the big-bad snake men, although… I never thought about saving these goblins.”
But I still can’t stand this injustice!
Mu Yuan pondered the deeper reason, his mental thoughts continuing to command the army of skeletons. Of course, after the war, he didn’t have a spiritual link with all the soldiers. Otherwise, even with Emperor Dead Bone as a transit station, Lord Shepherd would be drained.
At this time, he only linked Bone Three and Bone Four, evolved skeleton generals with significantly improved wisdom, to convey his orders as temporary commanders.
With the help of the Battle Falcon’s vision, he hovered around the fruit garden
a few times, conducting a simple census.
“There are more than 2000 Snake Scale Fruits at least. Of course, most of these fruits are not mature, and the unit price of the Snake Scale Fruit is not as high as the RedBlood Fruit next door, but…”
They are numerous, super many!
This batch of Snake Scale Fruits is a huge fortune.
“There are a total of 13 ‘Snake Blood Fruits’ at the rare level, two of them can be
picked.”
Mu Yuan had already remotely controlled Bone Three and summoned a few more skeleton warriors to form a ‘Bone Ladder’ and carefully picked them.
Compared to Snake Scale Fruits and Snake Blood Fruits, this piece of land in front of him is also valuable. Being able to nurture a large amount of graded materials, it is undoubtedly a resource land.
If he was already a formal lord, at this point, there would probably be a prompt
in his ear:
‘Ding! Reminder, your troops have discovered a first-order resource place
■Snake Scale Fruit Forest’ blah blah blah …’
-There is a temple and resource lands, this place is quite suitable for building a base, but it will have to wait after the Lord’s Trial.”
He pondered.
Duo Lai has already led a large number of historians, skeletons, soul warriors to search throughout the snake man tribe, inside and out, with high efficiency.
Moreover, Duo Lai’s arithmetic ability is self-taught and he has learned addition and subtraction within one hundred. He’s simply a genius.
“Gurgle-” (57 regular-grade remnant souls gurgle-!) Among them, 36 were random remnant souls, 11 were two-star snake man remnant souls, and 10 were three-star snake man warrior remnant souls. There were also two random remnant souls at the rare level.
The number of Soul Sands was too large, Duo Lai couldn’t count them all at the moment, but a large pile of Soul Sands had begun to gather together, forming two and a half Soul Crystals.
Duo Lai:”???” But didn’t it just count?
There are countless other bits and pieces of loot that are temporarily difficult to count, but among these items, only a dozen have stepped into the grade, and there is not a single high-value treasure.
in the most luxurious snake man tribe hall, lined with thick animal hides and various beast and monster skulls, there were some traces of hurried looting.
It certainly wasn’t that some thieves had snatched his loot in advance, it was very likely that…
The chief of the snake man tribe has fled.
After all, encountering a rare three-star Goblin Leader when exterminating a Goblin Camp doesn’t seem very probable when compared to only meeting rare one-star monsters in the vast snake man tribe.
“But can a monster leader flee?”
It usually doesn’t, but this tribe is known to keep slaves and have a revivable totem snake… A fleeing monster leader does not seem that odd in this setting.
Duo Lai continued to scour. It was determined to dig three feet into the ground. Its giant paws morphing into shovels, huffing and puffing as it dug everywhere.
Meanwhile, it took Emperor Dead Bone 6 minutes and 36 seconds to finally completely destroy and purify the Totem Base.
“Purification doesn’t require any additional energy from the lord or hero, but it does take more time to purify higher-ranked targets. This makes the tactic of sneaking into the enemy camp to dismantle the crystal untenable.”
’Ding!’
’Prompt:…’
As the prompt rings, strands of gift light from heaven and earth descended. One after another, white and green light balls appeared, emitting a charming glow.
Great Lord Shepherd rubbed his hands together.
“We players’ duty to save the world is beyond question! Please, let there be many more chances like this!
Emperor Dead Bone began to open the boxes.
The first light ball contained three Soul Crystals, while the second one had a rare treasure – Experience Stone of the ‘Broken Blade Dancer.
“This is the experience stone for the rare three-star troops, well… It can come in handy for Emperor Dead Bone.”
Don’t assume that Emperor Dead Bone doesn’t need to learn, it needs a foundation to develop skills. It can’t create something from nothing, controlling bone spikes, bone swords in battle requires high skills and abundant experience.
Although ‘Broken Blade Dancer’ and ‘Bone Dance’ are completely unrelated, he believes that Emperor Dead Bone can assimilate useful experiences and make connections.
Then, he obtained a rare Random Remnant Souls and the remnant soul of rare three-star troops, the Royal Griffin.
Including the previous loot, this makes a total of four rare troops.
“The rare random will definitely be sold, and then this Royal Griffin….” With a lion-like appearance, majestic eagle wings, and a body shimmering in golden hue… The Royal Griffin is a visually attractive troop – among the rare level.
Most importantly, unlike the small Hurricane War Hawk, the Royal Griffin can be ridden.
Who wouldn’t want to ride a mount in the sky?
But after a moment of sober thought, Mu Yuan shook his head. At the end of the day, the Royal Griffin was just for show. Even if it could carry a rider… It’s not like he would dare to ride the Griffin up to the heavens.
He wouldn’t dare!
It’s better to aim to become a Dragon Knight in future.
Now, there was only the last green light ball left. Emperor Dead Bone stepped forward to open it, and a miracle blueprint enveloped in faint light floated out and hovered half a meter above the ground.
It was a blueprint named ‘Outpost Tower’.
‘Outpost Tower’
‘Grade: Rare’
‘Description: A special building that can be constructed outside the range of the territory, serving the function of expanding vision.’
‘Reminder: You have not yet been promoted to a full-fledged Lord and cannot construct this special building..’
