Chapter 121 - 121, Dragon Bone (Seeking recommendation votes... )_1
The Lord’s Mansion has been upgraded to Level 5 Stone Tower.
Apart from special buildings, the rest of the establishments have met the construction requirements.
However, due to the lack of Shadowstone, many constructions of the Undead faction are yet to be upgraded.
He has made direct requests for Shadowstone in the channel, but the number of people willing to trade remains minimal.
Over a few days, he barely received any.
Now, the appearance of a fairly large amount of Shadowstone in this tunnel fills his heart with elation that cannot be hidden.
Even the headache caused by using the God’s Presence spell has been significantly relieved.
“Collect all the materials along the way.”
As the tunnel’s width was limited, Fang Hao didn’t split his team to collect the materials.
As they advanced, he collected all the encountered Shadowstones.
After traversing a distance, the count of Shadowstones had already reached 27. Fang Hao put all the Shadowstones into his pack, and started brainstorming. Theoretically, Shadowstones only appear in ancient tombs, Chaotic Burial
Grounds, or places where the aura of death is exceptionally strong.
Yet so many Shadowstones have appeared in a mountain path connected to the Tomb of the Dragon.
Could it be that a dragon truly died in there?
Only then could such a strong aura of death emanate.
While Fang Hao was ponderating the possible scenarios, Anjia’s furry animal ears twitched slightly; she stared intently at the dimly lit tunnel ahead.
Upon careful inspection, one could discern subtle differences in the shadows. In the darkness, something as thick as ink seemed to be rapidly approaching. “Danger,” Anjia whispered softly.
“Hmm?”
Fang Hao swiftly looked up, also noticing the swiftly spreading black shadow ahead.
[Shadow Apparition (Tier 8)]
As expected, a monster, and of the 8th Tier at that.
“Prepare to fight,” Fang Hao commanded.
Swish, swish, swish!
All the Skeletons immediately pulled out their weapons, aimlessly standing there; utterly clueless.
Very soon,
The Shadow Apparition rushed to the front of the team.
The next moment, a series of exaggerated human-like shadows launched an attack on the Skeleton Squad.
The moment these shadows took form, the Skeletons identified the target and began counter-attacking.
This type of Shadow Apparition was different from Little You, the Wandering Spirit.
Although Little You was a soul entity, her facial features and body structure are clear.
However, the currently appearing Shadow Apparitions resembled ghosts in ghost stories.
They only possessed human contours, their heads didn’t have facial features, their bodies were formed by shadows, soaked in an aura of death.
From their faceless faces, they emitted furious roars and launched angry attacks on the targets before them.
All of this took place in this restricted space.
An intense battle broke out.
In a few minutes, under the overwhelming numerical advantage, the battle ended.
After the Shadow Apparitions were eliminated, their bodies dissipated on the spot.
They dropped some special materials.
[Death Trace x3]
These so-called traces, essence and such are special materials, which can be used in construction and recruitment of special troops.
Their value is even higher than ordinary blueprints.
“Okay, let’s move on. Keep an eye out for Shadowstones,” Fang Hao ordered, directing the team to advance.
The team continued to move forward.
Along the way, they encountered several attacks from the [Shadow
Apparitions],
The rank of the Shadow Apparitions wasn’t fixed, the lowest being Tier 3 or 4, and the highest reaching Tier 7 or 8.
He gathered quite a lot of [Death Traces], this was a considerable gain.
The tunnel was lengthier than what Fang Hao had imagined.
He didn’t know who dug this tunnel, they must have possessed significant power.
Even in the modern world, this would have been a major project, requiring large-scale machinery and equipment.
As the team ventured deeper into the tunnel, it started to narrow.
From the initial capacity of several people walking side-by-side, it became possible for only two people to pass side-by side.
The already confined space became even more oppressive.
Bang!
Anjia punched through a shadowy figure that was attempting to approach.
The skeleton soldiers were also slicing down the approaching shadows with their chaotic swords.
Eventually.
In the continuous push forward, a cave entrance and bright sunshine appeared ahead.
Finally about to exit.
Along this path, they collected so many Shadowstones and an endless number of ghostly figures.
This made Fang Hao extremely curious about this Tomb of the Dragon.
As they emerged from the dark cave, their eyes were instantly engulfed by light.
The next second, when everyone saw the view ahead, they couldn’t help showing surprised expressions.
Turns out, Fang Hao and the others hadn’t crossed the entire mountain range.
They had instead entered into the belly of the mountain.
Ahead, was a massive basin-like depression, surrounded by towering cliffs.
In the center of the basin, was a gigantic dragon bone.
The ground beneath the dragon bone was tainted blood-red, surrounded by considerable numbers of shadow soldiers.
[Wandering Spirit (Tier 7)]
[Shadow Leopard (Tier 6)]
[Rotten Corpse (Tier 4)]
All kinds of monsters, all gather around the dragon bone.
“A real dragon died here!” Anjia exclaimed from the side.
The Dragon Clan is known for their power, their infamy widespread.
Everyone has heard stories or legends about them, but only a few have ever seen a real dragon.
Anjia was no different; seeing such a huge dragon bone, her eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement.
“Hmm, not bad,” Fang Hao said lightly.
But the soul fire pulsating in his eye sockets betrayed his excitement.
If this dragon bone were taken back, the military strength of the territory would greatly increase.
“What now? Just keep watching?” Anjia asked.
“What else?” Fang Hao glanced at the undeadarmy that was streaming out of the cave, then gave an order, “Kill all the enemies.”
Rush!
The moment they heard this command, the skeleton army rushed towards the enemy like a swift tide.
From the cave behind, new skeleton soldiers were continuously pouring out, rushing towards the enemy in an unending stream.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sound of a piercing missile echoed out.
A cold light was rushing towards Fang Hao’s skull.
Clang!
Anjia punched out, sending the cold light flying. It spun a few times before embedding itself into a nearby cliff. It was a dagger.
It was only after the action that Fang Hao realized what had happened and stepped back a half astep.
The long-distance use of God’s Presence made Fang Hao’s actions appear unbelievably slow.
Even after noticing the attack, it was difficult controlling the skeleton to dodge it in time.
Fortunately, Anjia’s was a powerhouse. Otherwise, that dagger would have ended up in his own head.
Looking back at where the dagger had come from,.
A pitch-black woman was standing there.
Her entire body was cloaked in darkness, making it difficult to see her face, however certain features clearly revealed her gender.
[Corrupted Elf (Green Tier 9 Hero)]
An elf, no wonder she has such a good figure.
This was also the first hero-class monster Fang Hao had encountered on his journey.
“Are you okay?” Anjia asked.
“I’m fine. Kill her quickly.” Fang Hao said, eyeing the enemy ahead.
The elf’s armor was already rotten, with occasional fragments still clinging to her body. She was holding a dagger with a reverse grip and a short sword was hanging at her waist, and coldly stared at the twosome.
The her eyes were pitch-black.
“Understood.” With her reply, Anjia sprung forward like an arrow towards the black elf.
The corrupted elf stood motionless, and the moment Anjia got close, she immediately drew her short sword for a counterattack.
Clang! Bang!
The sword clashed with the Tiger’s Claw, emitting faint collision sounds.
But the next second, the elf was suddenly flung back like a cannonball, crashing into the distant cliffs..
