Daily AFK life from a young dragon

Chapter 58 Undead
The sky gradually darkened.

There was a constant sound of chopping from the forest covered with bushes.

Swish!Swish!
Several troll warriors wielded wooden sticks covered with spikes, and used brute force to clear a mountain road ahead.

Behind these three or four meter tall troll warriors followed a group of gnoll warriors wearing light leather armor and holding black scimitars.

Among the wolf warriors, there was a strong black-haired wolf who stood out from the crowd. He was a full head taller than the surrounding wolf warriors.

He is also the only gnoll wearing a complete set of exquisite iron armor and holding a large steel knife.

"Stop." Hogg stopped the troops who wanted to continue marching. He looked around and found that the view here was wide and could be used as a site to build a temporary camp.

"Brokentooth, you guys go clear those branches and bushes that are blocking the view."

"One-Eye, lead your people to cut down trees and build a temporary camp as soon as possible."

The gnoll named Broken Tooth led five gnoll warriors to the surroundings, using their scimitars to cut and clear the bushes and branches.

The troll warrior named One-Eye also nodded, walked to the big tree with the other troll warriors in silence, then took out the short axe stuck behind his back and started chopping.

The huge force shook the tree, and every time the troll warrior swung his axe, a deep axe mark was left on the thick trunk.

After a dozen hits, the trees collapsed.

Several troll warriors came forward and carried the tree trunk together. They went to a nearby place and began to trim the branches, and then divided them into fresh wood of appropriate length and width.

Assemble these long strips of wood into a simple but stable tripod structure, then cover it with thick leaves, fill the gaps with leaves, weeds, and soil, and press hard to compact it.

Soon, a three-meter-high simple camp was built.

However, this triangular camp built with wet wood cannot exist for a long time. It will rot and eventually collapse under the erosion of rain, insects and ants.

But the temporary structure is more than enough to shelter from the wind and rain and to rest during the journey. Monsters are not as fragile as humans.

On the other side, Hogg had already led several werewolf warriors through the jungle to hunt for ingredients for tonight's dinner.

The steel knife fell, and the skull of a horned deer was easily cut open, revealing its still beating brain.

The thick hairy hands grabbed the horned deer's neck. Hogg ignored the other's still twitching body and moved forward and sucked hard at its brain.

The smooth brain was swallowed into Hogg's mouth, and a look of satisfaction appeared on the latter's ferocious face.

"The brain of this antler is still so soft and delicious." Hogg grinned and let go of the antler corpse.

A werewolf warrior behind him took the corpse respectfully.

After spending quite a bit of time hunting a few more common wild beasts, Hogg saw that the food was enough to feed the soldiers, so he headed back to the temporary camp.

It felt a little strange in its heart. Why did the prey in this forest become so scarce? There were obviously quite a lot of them before.

But this doubt only flashed through my mind, maybe it was just bad luck.

The temporary camp. When Hogg and other werewolf warriors returned from hunting, there were three large triangular houses here.

The remaining troll warriors and gnolls were resting, recovering the strength consumed in building the camp.

After seeing Commander Hogg coming back, their eyes lit up when they looked at the beast carcasses being carried and dragged by the soldiers behind them, and their stomachs, which had been starving for a long time, began to growl.

Dissect, light a fire, roast, and sprinkle a little red powder on the roast.

This is a powder made from the dried and ground fruits of a spicy plant grown in the tribe, and is very popular among warriors and residents.

Eat and drink enough.

Night falls.

Except for a few jackals on night watch, all the warriors, including Hogg, closed their eyes to rest and recuperate.

Bony hands and heads emerged from beneath the soil.

A large amount of blue flames rose in the jungle, and the scene was quite terrifying.

Short humanoid skeletons, beast-like skeletons, and all kinds of strange skeletons revived in the jungle.

Soul fire leaped in the empty eye sockets, and the skeletons quickly sensed the living creatures nearby.

They began to move towards the camp with a purpose.

A gnoll on night watch sensed something was wrong and twitched his nose. His sensitive sense of smell allowed him to smell the rotten smell in the air, as well as the faint sounds coming from the darkness around him.

Without hesitation, the Night Watch Gnoll roared,
"Ready to fight!"

In an instant, the sound of weapons and leather armor colliding was heard in the camp, and all the troll warriors and werewolf warriors were awakened.

Dozens of torches were quickly lit, illuminating the camp in a fiery red.

It also allowed the warriors of the Dark Scale Tribe to see clearly the true face of the enemy - the undead.

Bang!
Several wolf warriors on night watch were the first to fight with the skeleton undead. When these elite wolf warriors swung their black scimitars, the skeleton undead shattered like fragile straw.

Magic steel weapons.

It is harder and sharper than hundred-forged steel, and also has a certain magic-breaking effect.

The so-called magic-breaking effect is to break the elemental resistance. Without elemental resistance, all kinds of magical characteristics will be lost.

For example, dragons, their dragon scales naturally have strong elemental resistance. The dragon scale resistance of an adult dragon can even directly ignore the effects of low-level spells.

However, once a powerful magic-breaking weapon is used to break the elemental resistance of the dragon scales, or to be more precise, the elemental resistance of the dragon scales is temporarily ineffective, then the dragon scales that are originally extremely hard and have various magical effects are just harder substances.

Fighting spirit, spells, and various destructive energies that were originally unable or extremely difficult to cause damage to dragon scales can now cause varying degrees of damage to dragon scales that have temporarily lost their elemental resistance.

Therefore, the dragon slayer team will definitely prepare powerful magic-breaking weapons in advance as long as conditions permit, otherwise the dragon's scales with strong elemental resistance will cause them great headaches.

The moment the magic steel scimitar touched the bones of the skeleton undead, it broke the opponent's extremely weak elemental resistance.

Without the protection of elemental resistance, the rotten bones are just a pile of rotten bones. An ordinary person who is a little stronger can blow the skeleton to pieces with one punch, not to mention a werewolf warrior who is strong enough to smash stones with one punch.

Bang!
When the last beast-like skeleton undead was chopped into pieces by Hogg, the soul fire was extinguished and the sky began to brighten.

The gnoll warrior and the troll warrior fell to the ground and gasped in a very ungraceful manner.

Except for a few werewolf warriors who had some minor injuries, the other warriors were physically and mentally exhausted after chopping the skeleton undead all night.

"Has the tentacles of the Howling Grays reached here?" Hogg frowned deeply.

More than two years ago, its master told it that the Dark Swamp War was about to begin, and asked it and Diugs to be careful of the undead in the Howling Gray Land.

The wood elves, wild dwarves, mountain giants and other forces hostile to the Emerald Dream are far away from Yulingze. Only the undead in the nearby Howling Grays can threaten the Darkscale Tribe.

But it's just a possible threat.

Because the Dark Scale Tribe is not directly facing the Howling Gray Land, the latter needs to detour a distance of more than a thousand kilometers, or directly cross most of the Yulingze, before it can reach the Dark Scale Tribe.

Moreover, compared to the inconspicuous and unknown Dark Scale Tribe, the territory of the three green dragon brothers, who also came from the Emerald Dream and are closer to the Howling Grays, is much more conspicuous.
