Chapter 159: The Enemy's Traces Appeared(1/2)
Under the dark sky in the dark area and on the lush vegetation, Nado, a caveman, followed the army of dogheads all the way forward.
Looking back on the experiences of these three days, he felt like he was dreaming.
Three days ago, he unfortunately met Kou Tao Yuman while collecting berries, and was caught back and became a slave, and then became a sacrifice to the evil god.
Looking at the dagger raised by the fishman priest, he thought his life was about to end, but a mixed team of kobolds, werewolfs and ogres emerged, and then he learned that his tribe had defected to a powerful dragon.
Originally, the dog-headed team planned to send away the rescued cavemen, but they found a large number of pearls when collecting the spoils of Kou Tao Fishman tribe, so they planned to go home. Therefore, the lucky cavemen were taken with them.
“Wowhahaha…”
The ogre's busy laughter came from the front. Nador looked up at the ogre's shoulders. On the ogre's wide shoulders, a giant beast with a body length of three meters was lying. The bright red blood flowed down the slender tail and dripped on the ground.
Crying wolf!
This terrifying extraordinary beast that was enough to destroy the caveman village died like this!
He couldn't help swallowing, recalling the scene when the kowtower warrior shot the crypt Ghost Wolf.
Of course, before everyone could react, the strong kobold pulled out the spear behind him without warning, and the spear was covered with translucent energy and shot into the darkness in the distance.
Then a scream of wild beasts came, and everyone found that a ghost wolf in the crypt was nailed to the ground by a spear over a hundred meters away.
Since then, Nado has become more aware of the strength of this team, and at the same time he is also curious about the owner of the kowtower, the mysterious dragon.
If you can conquer such a terrifying powerful man, the dragon must be very strong...
The poor brain of the caveman unfolds infinite imagination.
Walking along the way, two hours later, the team saw the Rottoe Caveman tribe.
A small hill close to the rock wall, the crypt on the side of the hill is the home of the Rottoe Cave.
The cave dwellers' home at this time were a little different from the calmness of the past. A large number of kobolds, werewolves and a small number of ogres appeared outside the tribe.
Aww~!
The alert wolf immediately discovered the approaching team and made a welcoming wolf howl.
After returning to the temporary base in this dark area, Soda left the team alone and entered the requisitioned caveman's crypt.
Speaking of which, the living habits of cavemen are somewhat similar to those of dog-kowels, and they all like to dig caves. However, dog-kowels are looking for mineral veins, while cavemen are mainly to avoid predators in dark areas.
Through the deep crypt, Soda saw the red-robed dog-headed man behind the wooden table: "Brother, I'm back."
The double-produced high-level wizard, Ergou, looked up and pointed his head at the returned brother: "Have you found anything?"
"We headed west, two hours after we met a freshwater lake, and there was a Kou Tao fishmen tribe next to the lake. However, these Kou Tao fishmen have almost been killed by us..."
While Soda said, Ergou used a quill to write and draw on the parchment roll.
Taking advantage of the dim light of the oil lamp, Soda watched his younger brother draw the location of the lake on the parchment scroll, mark the approximate terrain along the way, and gave his own opinions from time to time.
Not long after, the results of this outing exploration were recorded on the parchment.
That's right, the dog-headed people are drawing a map of this dark area, which is the Red Dragon's order.
According to the instructions of the Red Dragon, every time the dog-headed man enters a dark area, the first step is to explore the dark area, clear away the threats on the territory, and draw corresponding maps.
And these maps will be taken back by the copying party and handed over to the Red Dragon to view.
Thinking that the map would be presented to the owner, Ergou drew it very seriously. After drawing it, he picked up the map and discussed with his brother to check for omissions.
As they chatted, the dog-headed brothers talked about the progress of this dark area.
Ergou looked at the large blank area on the roll: "According to the observation of the harp, this dark area is a medium-sized dark area. We have explored one-third of the area. It won't take long to see the master's territory expand again."
A hint of regret flashed in Soda's eyes: "It's a pity that if the big bat in the dark area was not too dangerous and the harpwoman was too weak, otherwise it would be so troublesome to directly take on the surveying and mapping tasks."
"On the other hand, we can get this function by the kobolds."
"This is..."

Modo Peak Forest, the Heart of Molten Fire.
Boom boom boom boom!
Jose stood beside the lava lake to experiment with flame magic. The violent magic exploded on the surface of the lava lake, and the rumbling sound echoed in the underground space.
Behind the red dragon, a dog-headed guard in red armor walked out of the nine-ring spiral staircase and stopped in front of the exit, not daring to move forward. Those giant beasts with seven or eight meters long were not fun.
Directly in front of the nine-ring spiral staircase, seventy or eighty salamanders stared at the dog-headed man at the exit, forked his tongue and poked out his mouth from time to time. As long as he dared to take a step forward, the petrified rays and flame rays would be shot out instantly.
"Come here," the Red Dragon Head didn't look back.
With the permission of the Red Dragon, the dog-headed guard continued to move forward, carefully passing through the gap between the salamanders, walked behind the Red Dragon, and presented three puffins in his hands.
"Master, this is something Lord Ergou sent back."
The invisible magic hand picked up three puffs in the dog-headed man's hand, and the puffs flew to the red dragon and slowly unfolded.
This scenario has happened many times because the Red Dragon ordered the dog-headed man to report the situation every month, regardless of whether he had any gains or not.
Unfolding the parchment scroll, Jose saw the familiar handwriting of the dog-headed family members.
"The great master, the dark area of H003 has been explored. This dark area is a medium-sized dark area with many springs and lakes, and has extremely high development value... A total of 124 extraordinary beasts in the crypt were cleared, two stone monster tribes were wiped out, and the spoils were harvested... I will present a map here."
"We are currently exploring the dark area of H004. The dark area of H004 also has water sources and has extremely high development value. We have discovered a tribe of cavemen. The cavemen are honored to be the people of the real dragon and have sworn allegiance..."
Not long after, after reading the report of his family, Jose looked at the map of the dark area numbered H003, and remembered the map in his heart, especially the entrance location of the dark area of H003 connecting other dark areas.
The dark area is well connected, remember that it is very necessary to connect the tunnels to each space to avoid getting lost.
After the Red Dragon finished reading the map, three sheepskin rolls were rolled up out of thin air and flew back to the hands of the dog-headed guard again.
The dog-headed guard took the parchment and retreated respectfully. Next, he would classify and archive these parchment as the basis for developing dark territory in the future.
After experiencing this little episode, Jose continued his magic practice because he understood that his own strength was the foundation of everything.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Spring goes and autumn comes, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past six months, the thing that residents of the Modo Peak Forest Monsters talked about the most is the new city under construction. The new city wall, which is still in the construction stage, surrounds the entire mountain and covers a wide area.
You don’t need to guess that this new city will definitely be an important city in the future.
In addition, what most monster residents don’t know is that in the dark area that is deep underground, the monster army has been advancing all the way, expanding the dark area number to H007.
Of course, the exploration of the dark area was not smooth. The dog-headed people encountered many difficulties, such as the indigenous tribes in the dark area that dominated the territory, the Kou Tao fishmen who used lakes to fight guerrillas, and powerful extraordinary beasts that exceeded the range of the army's handling.
These blocking stones were shoveled down one by one.
Faced with the indigenous tribes in the dark areas that dominate the territory, Ergou gathered superior forces, the army of dog-headed men as the main force, and the goblin cannon fodder as the pioneer, werewolf, ogre, and harpwoman cooperated to wipe them out.
In order to deal with Kou Tao's fishman who escaped into the lake and occasionally jumped out to cause damage, Ergou specifically reported the red dragon and borrowed the fishman army from the white dragon, Kassi.
One time, the Kou Tao fishman tribe was located on a small island in the center of the lake, and Bailong personally dispatched to wipe it out.
The powerful extraordinary beasts that exceeded the range of the army's handling will be solved by the Red Dragon himself. These extraordinary beasts either surrendered or were killed.
Conquering the dark areas and killing the monsters, natives and extraordinary beasts inside them is not the purpose. It is to develop the dark areas and make them the source of driving force that supports the development of power.
Jose planned the relevant actions.
Among the seven dark areas between H001 and H007, three have water sources, which are suitable for monster residents to survive and can directly carry out related development.
To the outside, Red Dragon sent a large army of monsters to build outposts to block the exits of the dark area. Inside, the large army of monsters dispatched to hunt dangerous creatures in the dark area.
After clearing all the dangerous creatures inside the dark area, the large immigration began.
A large number of monster residents in the Modo Peak Forest entered the dark area, built towns, reclaimed farmland, and explored mineral veins...
There are only three dark areas that can be directly developed, and there are four dark areas that are not suitable for living organisms due to various factors. The most important point is the lack of water sources.
Jose did not give up these barren lands either.
He drew water sources by digging water wells, diversion from other dark areas, and hired druids from elves to transform the original environment and make it available land.
However, the name of the adventure forbidden place in the dark area was not in vain. Finally, one day, the exploration team encountered trouble.
On the dim land in the dark area, the werewolf thief - Tamuge bent over and walked carefully towards the direction of blood coming.
A day ago, a mid-level kowtower soldier led a team of fifty people to explore, but he never returned.
The leader of the dog-headed man who was in charge felt something was wrong and sent a mid-level werewolf thief, Tamuge, to search for the direction of the team's departure, so the current scene came into being.
Tamuge raised his head and sniffed, smelling the bloody smell from the wind.
The gnolls have a sensitive sense of smell and can easily distinguish the odor molecules in the air, while distinguishing the smell of blood is a compulsory course for everyone.
The blood smell of the dog-headed man is mixed with a small number of the same race.
Tamuge made a judgment and was in a serious mood.
The team was killed!
He didn't know who the murderer was the one who killed his team. After all, this was a completely unfamiliar dark area, and extraordinary beasts and crypt natives could be the murderer.
No matter what, the enemy is very strong, otherwise a regular army led by intermediate soldiers would not be able to escape.
What's worse is that he is not sure whether the murderer has left. If he has not left, he will be in danger of his life when he goes rashly.
To be continued...
