Chapter 161 - 161, Pond Monster l
An order like the Alchemist’s Robe is, in a sense, rarely accepted by anyone.
The process of making silk is complicated and time-consuming from the start.
Natives don’t have the Book of Lords, so they have to start slowly.
Besides, orders from the Alchemy Guild are scarce.
Making 10 items in one go, combined with the complexity, no one would accept this order nowadays.
If Fang Hao weren’t interested in the Enlightening Potion, he likely wouldn’t be so persistent in taking this order.
He started manufacturing directly after entering the blueprint into the Book of Lords.
The quantity was set to 1.
[The hundred-fold amplification trigger, you obtained 101 Silk Line Alchemist Robes.]
[Silk Line Alchemist Robe(Blue)]
[Category: Silk Garments]
[Defense: Level 1 Defense]
[Ability: Alchemy success rate+1%, alchemy time reduction 2%.]
(Description: Alchemist’s exclusive clothing, it can reduce the time consumed in alchemy.)
Upon seeing these attributes, Fang Hao understood the function of the Alchemist’s Robe.
Alchemy is not always successful; there is indeed a success rate.
Doujin arranged for a Skeleton merchant, planning to deliver 10 robes.
“Wait, ask them if they need more robes when you deliver them, and if they need them, they can place orders directly with us next time, otherwise, the remaining 90 will be left in our hands.” Fang Hao instructed.
The biggest function of these robes is alchemy, and they are clothing. There are always future orders. When the time comes, it is better to sell the rest by specifying himself.
“Alright, sir, I got it.” The Skeleton merchant said, taking the order and the goods and prepared to leave.
After breakfast, Fang Hao continued with the next plan.
He opened the map from the Book of Lords and started to check it.
He got two maps from the tavern in Pruell City yesterday.
He planned to pick a closer one for exploration and strategy.
Compared with the local residents, the transmigrators like them have some differences. The locals usually shy away from dangerous places.
But the reward mechanism of the chest gave the transmigrators a reason to take risks.
The greater the danger, the greater the return.
As long as they go explore and take risks, there will be rewards when they return.
The two maps were respectively [Mountain Bandit Camp] and [Pond Monster].
After comparing the locations, he found that the Mountain Bandit Camp was on the southwest side of Pruell City, whereas the Pond Monster was on the north side of Pruell City — in between his own territory and Pruell. So it was easier to explore.
“Anjia.” Fang Hao called.
“What is it?”
“Get ready. We have a new map, let’s go explore together.”
“Where are we going? Is it the two maps we got yesterday?” Anjia asked curiously.
“Yes, it’s called the Pond Monster. The enemy might be in the pond, take more archers and spear soldiers,” Fang Hao suggested according to his assumption. He didn’t have any underwater combat troops. Although Skeletons don’t need to breathe, it wasn’t clear if they could fight underwater.
If the pond was deep and the enemy was lurking in the water without coming out, they would be difficult to deal with.
So, it’s best to prepare as much as possible.
“Okay.” Anjia agreed and then went out to arrange for the accompanying troops.
Ten minutes later.
Five Bone Dragons, a thousand Skeleton Trolls, and fifty thousand Skeleton Soldiers assembled outside the territory.
After Fang Hao returned to his room and applied “God’s Presence”, the large team set off, heading towards the pond.
As they approached the south, the forest became more extensive.
Fang Hao’s previous explorations were mostly inclined around the north and east of the territory, where there were several Orc Tribes.
Villages often disappeared during battles.
Fang Hao was lying in the car, leading the army to advance rapidly.
Many humans villages were seen along the way. After discovering such a large undead army, they hurriedly returned to their villages, closed the village gates, and watched the movement of the undead from a distance.
Of course, Fang Hao didn’t care about these ordinary villages.
Without changing the route, he tried not to disturb the lives of the natives.
Two hours later.
The team finally approached the location of the pond.
“Stop advancing,” Fang Hao said, standing on a cart.
The team stopped, and Anjia rode over, “What’s wrong?”
“We’re almost there, I’ll use the Giant Bat to scout the situation.”
“Forget it, let me go. What if it’s not strong? I’ll get rid of it by myself. It’ll save us the trouble,” Anjia said.
Fang Hao shook his head, “Let’s be safe. Wait for my news. You’ll be the main force in the battle later, so no need to rush.”
Anjia pouted, but still agreed, “Okay.”
Fang Hao canceled God’s Presence and took over one of the accompanying Skeleton Giant Bats.
Once the soul flame was ignited in the pupil of the Skeleton Giant Bat, several Skeleton Giant Bats flew towards the pond with him.
In the dense forest, he saw a large pond.
A stream poured water into the pond from a river, and there was another river that led the water to the west.
Fang Hao guided several Giant Bats to hover over the pond, looking for the monster mentioned on the map.
The air was sticky and humid, and the green leaves on the tree branches were covered in dripping water droplets.
The environment was quite suitable for plant growth.
Many mottled grey boulders, covered with moss and various colorful fungi, were also scattered around the pond.
Whoosh!
Just when Fang Hao didn’t find anything, he suddenly felt something attacking.
‘He hurried to check, but found no creature attacking him.
An illusion?
Fang Hao was a bit confused.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
Then, he felt the change in the airflow again.
He controlled the Giant Bat to look back, and was abruptly shocked.
What’s happening?
Apart from himself, there were five Giant Bats. Where did they go?
Did they fly away?
Were they attacked?
Even if they were instantly killed, there should be some bones dropping around, right? How come there were no traces at all?
Whoosh!
The next second, he finally understood what happened to those Bats.
He saw a grey stone below opened its huge mouth, a long, crimson tongue, like a sharp arrow, wrapped around the Skeleton Bat he was controlling and dragged it into its mouth.
Fang Hao woke up in bed.
Everything happened too quickly. As he sat up in bed, his heart was still pounding.
After taking a sip of water, he lay back down and woke up amid the stationed Skeleton army.
When the Soul fire was ignited, Anjia came over.
“How was it? Any danger inside?”
“It’s dangerous. There’s a stone that eats people.” Fang Hao said.
Everything happened too fast, and he didn’t even see the name of the monster.
“What is it, a Stone Element?”
“No, it’s a stone that opens a big mouth and extends its tongue so long, eating all the Giant Bats I brought.” Fang Hao said, trying hard to describe.
He even made a slide to make Anjia understand what he had just seen.
“A Giant Lizard? A Giant Lizard hunts food that way..”
