Chapter 166 - 166, There is a Unfortunate Guy_l
Fang Hao gazed at the enormous size of the giant lizard, surprised.
Even though it was named as a giant lizard, he didn’t expect it to be so enormous.
It resembled a rhino the size of an elephant, but with the head and scales of a lizard.
Despite its enormity, it was still dwarfed by the bone dragon, which made it easier to accept its size.
Upon closer observation, the head shape of this giant lizard shared some resemblance with the bone dragon.
“Let’s ride that one around.” Anjia seemed eager.
After summoning such a creature, it would indeed be a big miss not to ride it around a bit.
“Wait a moment, I need to create a saddle.”
He opened the Book of Lords and found the blueprint that he just saved.
“Giant lizard cargo saddle blueprint: Hard rigid wood – 20, Leather – 350, Thick leather – 150, Iron – 80, Metal parts – 50.”
Create 1.
“A hundredfold multiplication triggered, received 101 Lizard Cargo Saddles.”
A hundred and one saddles appeared instantly, stacking up on the side.
Fang Hao commanded the skeletons to keep one and store the rest into the warehouse.
The giant lizard’s saddle was indeed different from the bone dragon’s transport saddle.
There were two seats near the neck of the giant lizard that could accommodate two passengers simultaneously. Moreover, there was a larger space on its back. A platform made of hard rigid wood, which could be used to tie up goods, was built on the back.
This was indeed very advantageous.
If the giant lizard died, Fang Hao could summon more skeleton giant lizards. Once equipped with a saddle, they could effectively replace the carts.
It could also resolve the problem of transportation through rivers and dense jungles.
He fitted the saddle onto the giant lizard.
With a small leap, Anjia was up on the back of the giant lizard.
“Do you prefer the front or the back seat?” She asked Fang Hao, who was still on the ground.
“Whatever you like is fine with me.”
“Then you sit in the back, it’s more comfortable there,” Anjia said seriously.
Fang Hao climbed up the rope ladder onto the giant lizard’s back and joked, “You better stop talking, you’re a bad influence.”
“What do you mean ‘bad’?” Anjia asked, turning around.
“Nothing. Let’s take a spin around before the city gates close,” Fang Hao sidestepped the topic and urged her to move on.
“Okay.” With a flick of the reins, the giant lizard took off, running at a fantastic speed around the territory like a bolt of lighting.
Fang Hao sat behind while Anjia let out wind-facing shouts of joy.
The giant lizard was indeed a good mount. It ran faster than a galloping horse and was much smoother in movement.
Even with the wind howling in their ears, the ride was not as bumpy as riding a horse.
This was indeed an excellent mode of transportation for delivering goods.
The more he thought about this, the more Fang Hao wanted to turn the giant lizard into a skeleton so he could summon more of them in the future.
However, this was just wishful thinking; he wouldn’t really slaughter the giant lizard and throw it into the conversion pool.
After taking a lap around the territory, the giant lizard stopped in front of the city gates.
“Ah…it’s…it’s…not bad…it…runs…pretty…smoothly,” Anjia stammered, obviously winded from the excitement.
Fang Hao rolled his eyes at her impatiently. The two of them led the giant lizard into the city and asked the skeletons to build a separate shed for it.
A normal stable would not be large enough to accommodate this creature.
After settling in the newly summoned giant lizard, Fang Hao returned to the Skeleton Conversion Field area.
The conversion of the speckled toad was already done.
“Skeleton Giant Toad (Tier 5)”
“Faction: Undead”
“Racial Traits: Undead, Hollow Skeleton, Vulnerable to Light, Amphibious.”
“Skills: Powerful Leap.”
“Innate Abilities: Intermediate Water Mastery.”
“Amphibious (Passive): Can move freely on land and underwater.”
“Powerful Leap (Active): Leap high into the air to attack the enemy, each meter increase in jumping height adds 5% damage.”
(Note: The Skeleton species converted from corpses still retain their traits and attack methods from when they were alive.)
Looking at the attributes of the skeleton giant toad, Fang Hao felt somewhat disappointed.
He had not imagined the toad to have an ability to simply jump and smash enemies, but rather he hoped that the skeleton giant toad could build a highly efficient air defense system.
Just like when the bats were led over the pond and wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Now, with only one powerful leap skill, his idea of building an aerial defense system was thoroughly shattered.
“Alright, you all go and wait outside the city.” Fang Hao ordered.
A few dozen skeleton giant toads jumped out of the city gates.
After dealing with everything, Fang Hao finally returned to his room.
The next day, early in the morning.
Fang Hao woke up from his dreams.
He then began to exercise around his territory because he had spent most of his time lying on his bed.
Lying down while sleeping, lying down while fighting with God’s Presence.
If this continued, his body would deteriorate.
If God’s Presence didn’t require spiritual power, he would rather drink the enlightening potion to augment his physique.
After breakfast, he confirmed with Doujin that there were no new orders, then Fang Hao began to prepare his plans for the day.
He still had a blueprint that he had bought from the pub in Pruell City.
“Bandit Camp”.
It was located to the southwest of Pruell City.
He learned from the pub’s owner that this band was quite infamous; the nearby cities and villages had found no effective way to deal with them.
These bandits would abandon their hideout and escape whenever they got word of Pruell City’s organized attempts to exterminate them.
They would return after the attempt was over and look for new sites to rebuild their lairs. As they didn’t have any fields to cultivate, their livelihood depended on looting.
After breakfast.
Fang Hao returned to his room, unleashed God’s Presence, and then lead his troops out of the territory, towards the bandit camp.
For this bandit extermination mission, he only took a hundred bone dragons filled with five-tiered skeleton trolls as he had to pass Pruell City.
The bone dragon was the fastest among Fang Hao’s troops. It could fly high above the ground without attracting as much attention as a land army.
Even if they had to bypass Pruell City, it wouldn’t consume too much time.
A hundred bone dragons soared into the sky and started moving swiftly towards the bandit camp.
Two hours later.
The bone dragons finally reached the vicinity of the bandit camp.
From afar, they saw a camp built with trees. Although it seemed small from high above, that was merely an optical illusion due to the distance.
In reality, this bandit’s nest of such a size was quite significant.
It was even nearing the size of Manim Market.
Within this camp, numerous wooden houses were built and a relatively tall brick building stood in the center, which was likely the core building.
In the corner of the camp, looted resources were stocked up along with a few hostages suspended in the air.
Fang Hao, thanks to his good eyesight, could see one of them wearing modern tracksuit.
“Damn, another unlucky soul.” Fang Hao muttered. He then slapped the back of the bone dragon and ordered, “Get closer and prepare the Dragon Breath.”
Upon receiving the order, the bone dragon dove down and swiftly approached the camp, followed by a hundred bone dragons behind it, also preparing for the Dragon Breath..
