Chapter 7, The Creeping Spine(1/2)
When you see this, you already know the origin and purpose of [Wriggling Spine].
Someone mentioned it in the chat channel.
Building a barracks does not mean recruiting unlimited troops.
The human camp will drop a consumable called Soul Crystal, which is a necessary material for recruiting troops.
Just like Fang Hao summoning skeleton soldiers, he needs 300 animal bones.
However, animal bones are slaughtering materials and can be used to recruit undead troops. However, they are not the main recruitment supplies for the undead camp and are more like a temporary substitute.
[Wriggling Spine] is the main recruitment material for the Undead, and it has the same function as Soul Crystal.
Skeleton Soldiers clean up the battlefield fairly quickly.
Supplies have been collected.
[Harvest: 21 iron daggers, 8 wriggling spines, a flatbed truck, 2 one-horned sheep carcasses, and 1 giant-horned deer carcass.]
There were more than twenty kobolds, but only eight squirming spines were dropped.
It seems that there is a certain probability of falling, and not every corpse will have it.
Fang Hao did not take the next step, but fell into thinking.
There is obviously a kobold stronghold, or camp, nearby, otherwise there would be no hunting kobold team.
Exploring the opponent's location and military strength has become a crucial matter.
Fang Hao picked up an iron dagger and put it on his waist.
[Iron Dagger (White)]
[Category: Dagger]
[Attribute: First-level damage.]
(Description: A wooden handle can be used as a weapon by inserting an iron piece into it? Is this really a clever idea?)
"You guys change your weapons." Fang Hao selected twenty uninjured soldiers and replaced the stone axes in their hands.
The quality of the stone ax is also (white), but its function is different.
Although the stone ax has damage, it does not reach the first level of damage, and its main function is to cut wood.
In combat, the damage is not as good as an iron dagger.
After hearing Fang Hao's order, twenty soldiers immediately came up and changed their weapons.
"Okay, come with me." Fang Hao continued.
It's not time to go back yet, we need to find out the location and number of kobold camps.
Instead of waiting for the other party to attack him, he is more willing to find out the situation and be prepared to take the initiative to attack.
The opponent's location is not difficult to find.
Except for the rut marks left on the ground.
A clear path can also be seen in the dense woods.
Passing through the deepest part of the woods, you can see a defensive wall surrounded by logs and a towering sentry tower.
There is no obvious difference from human villages.
Many kobolds came in and out, cutting wood, quarrying stone, and collecting various basic resources.
If there is no protective cover.
Fang Hao would think that this is also a human territory with a special race.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
There were also other kobold hunting teams coming back, and in addition to the carcasses of beasts, there were also human bodies on the flatbed trucks.
Fang Hao made a rough calculation and found that there were about five to six hundred people in this camp.
In addition to the larger number of slingers, there are also kobold warriors holding iron knives and kobold warriors holding iron axes.
"Let's go back." Fang Hao said, slowly retreating with his soldiers.
This camp must be eliminated, but not now.
You must prepare enough manpower to launch an attack.
Return to the woods, take the flatbed truck and food captured before, and return to the territory.
When we returned to the territory, the sun was shining brightly.
"You continue to patrol." Fang Hao said.
Pushing the flatbed truck into the protective cover, the skeleton soldiers returned to their posts again, patrolling to protect the labor skeletons from wild beasts.
Of course, it is also a good thing if there are wild beasts, which can increase food reserves.
[Level 1 Warcraft Unicorn Sheep*2, Level 1 Striped Deer, should they be slaughtered? 】
slaughter!
[Slaughtering is completed, 1200 meat, 90 animal skins, and 60 animal bones are obtained. 】
In addition to obtaining [Wriggling Spine], carts and meat are also good gains today.
The most important thing is to discover the kobold camp near the territory.
Thinking of the large number of kobolds so close to his territory, he unconsciously became nervous.
This is not a game, this is reality.
People die every day from various reasons.
Not one to hesitate, he immediately came to the barracks.
[Level 1 Bone Burial Ground]
[Recruitable: Skeleton Soldiers]
[Skeleton Soldier: The Wriggling Spine 1.]
(Remarks: You can recruit the troops of the camp you belong to in this building. Improving the building level can unlock new soldier types and higher-level troops.)
[Materials required for upgrade: 500 wood, 720 stone, 80 leather, 240 hemp rope, 5 shadow stones.]
Previously, recruiting skeleton soldiers required 300 animal bones.
Now only one squirming spine is needed.
In other words, one squirming spine is equivalent to 300.
[Recruitable: Skeleton Soldiers, consumption: Creeping Spine 8, do you want to recruit? 】
Confirm recruitment.
The system prompt sounded again.
[Triggered by a hundredfold increase, successfully recruited 808 skeleton soldiers.]
Swish swish swish!!
Except for the 8 skeleton soldiers who crawled out of the bone burial place, the territory was filled with light flashing.
All campsites were occupied.
Fang Hao had seen this kind of scene a lot, so it was nothing unusual.
Continue to make 808 wooden shields and 808 stone axes, and give them to them.
"A few of you will go hunting and look for food, and the rest will carry supplies and transport the resources collected by the labor skeletons to the warehouse." Fang Hao gave the order.
After receiving the order, a group of skeleton soldiers turned around and walked out of the territory to complete their mission.
After the explanation.
Light the extinguished fire and use the iron dagger to start slicing the meat to prepare the barbecue.
He has made up his mind to get rid of the kobold camp.
Before that, let’s have lunch first.
Eat and drink enough.
Compared with yesterday, the pieces of meat chopped with a stone ax and sliced with a dagger are more suitable for barbecue.
It just lacks seasoning and happy water.
Otherwise you will be happier.
Soon, the smell of meat spreads, stimulating people's appetite.
Savor the fragrant and tender barbecue.
Open the chat channel and see what everyone is discussing.
"Which of you has soul crystals? Undead appear outside my territory. The resources are exchanged for soul crystals."
