Chapter 939, Sotarong's Garment
Demigod?
Upon hearing Fang Hao's words, not only did Cleolando show a look of surprise, but Amanda also looked over.
The affairs of demigods, after all, were still too distant and elusive for ordinary heroes and transmigrators.
Before Fang Hao brought it up, they had not even considered matters concerning demigods.
After the initial shock, Cleolando quickly responded, "I know of two demigods among the Undead, the Immortal Emperor, and the other, I've heard, is a wandering spirit demigod. I'm not clear on the specifics, but I do know that there are statues in worship in several cities dominated by wandering spirits."
When discussing the matter with the Dragon Queen, it was also said that the Undead Clan has two demigods.
However, he believed that the Undead do not die, and the members of all clans who didn't wish to die would transform into Undead by various means.
This led to the suspicion that there might be even more demigods among the Undead.
And now, Cleolando gave the same answer.
"Is there any problem?" Cleolando continued to ask.
Fang Hao shook his head, "Nothing much, just asking casually. Besides this matter, you should also prepare. I will arrange for someone to help you take back your city when the time comes."
"Ah? Now?" Cleolando said in surprise.
"Wait a little longer, wait for my message."
"Oh, okay!"
Cleolando also yearned to take back her city, but it was no simple task.
Once they start a conflict with the Undead, it would mean a grand war.
To wage war against the entire Undead Desert.
It wasn't something she could achieve on her own; however, if Fang Hao took action, there likely wouldn't be any problems.
Because, during their last exploration of the temple beneath the desert,
Fang Hao had been able to mobilize three demigods, one from the Dragon Clan, and two from the Blood Clan.
Now, the two black-armored guards also became demigods.
It seemed they were destined to be stronger against the Undead faction.
After discussing official matters, they chatted briefly about other things.
As night fell, they return to the main city.
...
Back in the main city, Fang Hao first checked on the Hydra.
Seeing that it was behaving well in its designated living space without causing any trouble, he felt at ease.
It wouldn't do anything rash as long as it wasn't stupid.
After all, in the residential area, the black-armored sisters are both demigods.
Plus with the Dragon Queen and Fang Hao, any move it made would only lead to a more miserable death.
Upon returning to the lord's mansion, he saw Anjia sitting in the hall, peeling dried fruits for the Red General.
Upon his entrance, she tossed the dried fruits aside.
Then, with excitement, she dashed forward, leaping towards him.
Fang Hao spread his arms to catch her, gave her a pat on the buttocks, and said, "What if I can't catch you if you do this all the time?"
"How could you not catch me," Anjia protested.
She wrapped her legs tightly around him, clinging to his body.
She cupped his face and planted a firm kiss.
Fang Hao was taken aback by the gesture, "What's this for? You're a grown-up, still acting like a child…"
"What's childish about this? I heard you've started to keep that Hydra? It means we'll always have snake meat to eat," Anjia said.
"Who told you that?"
"I saw it myself. It's settled down in the city, and I've told Eira and the others, that it's our food reserve~!"
Damn it!
To think the hero I recruited has somehow become food storage.
And besides, as a Dark Gold rank level eight, it surely shouldn't be considered a food reserve by this little purple beast-girl, right!
Fang Hao gave her buttocks a firm smack and said, "What food reserve? This is a newly recruited hero, Dark Gold rank level eight. Don't spout nonsense, it affects our unity."
"Ah? It's not food storage? But Eira and the others really like eating that snake meat," Anjia said, surprised.
Holding her in his embrace, Fang Hao sat down beside her and said, "Don't use Eira and the others as an excuse, and don't talk nonsense in the future."
"Okay, okay!" Anjia snuggled against him, then whispered, "Come to my place tonight, will you? I feel a bit hot after eating that snake soup…"
"Going to your place is fine, but what's in it for me?"
"Oh come on! Haven't I fulfilled all your requests? Stop saying that," her cheeks flush as Anjia then glances up slyly and begins to tug at his clothes, "You're not busy anyway, let's just get started now."
"Here?"
"What's wrong with that? It's not like it hasn't happened here before."
After a flurry of activity, the two of them grappled with each other.
Red General, hovering above Anjia's head, followed along with relentless shaking.
...
Two days passed.
Fang Hao received a message from Rolana: the Orcs had begun to retreat, and it was the kind of sudden pullout where they just packed up their tents and left without any warning.
They moved hastily and within a day, the area was cleared out, leaving behind piles of trash.
Receiving this news, Fang Hao was not too surprised.
If anything, it was expected.
The situation for the Orcs was quite awkward as both of their Demigods had died, and their main city, along with nearby towns, were being rebuilt from the ruins.
They simply didn't have the resources to sustain the ongoing battle.
Even with the God of War personally intervening in the racial development, it was impossible to focus on both territorial defense and external warfare at the same time.
In truth, the Orcs were quite unlucky.
It was a conflict between the Blood Clan and the Human Clan, and they had planned to launch a surprise attack, only to end up dying first on their side.
Meanwhile, in the transmigrators' regional channel.
The two hottest topics remained the same.
One was Savana's wedding, only two days away, set to begin the day after tomorrow.
The venue booked by the elves at the Trade Alliance's station is almost fully decorated.
Eira, who has been to the Fire Hammer Shop, says it looks very beautiful.
There's no need to elaborate on Savana's wedding, as it has been the subject of discussion for quite some time.
Since becoming the first, Savana's popularity has reached a peak, with an increase in subordinate lords and a rapid growth in the number of Alliance members.
With the wedding fast approaching, the hype is even greater.
The second topic revolves around Fang Hao's brief resurrection and his subsequent quick disappearance.
Fang Hao's death was already fading from the hot topics.
However, during his attack on the God of Hunting, Fang Hao had removed his wooden bracelet.
He needed to use his skills in coordination with the Dragon Queen's attack.
So his name shined on the leaderboard, reclaiming the top spot.
Although it was in the middle of the night that they fought the God of Hunting, once it was over, he put the bracelet back on.
Still, many people noticed.
This has been the subject of discussion up to the present.
The most common speculation is that Fang Hao is undergoing an Undead transformation ceremony. After all, there had already been rumors that he was part of the Undead Clan.
It's reasonable to think that after death, undergoing an Undead transformation makes sense.
As for why his name has disappeared again, the transmigrators speculate that perhaps after the ceremony of becoming Undead, something went wrong with his body and he died again.
The discussion analyzes the ceremony like a modern emergency rescue, even suggesting there's a chance of revival.
Ding!
Fang Hao was stealthily checking the world channel when a private message notification suddenly popped up.
It was a message from Bai Xuan.
"Boss, we've taken over 'Demon Skull Island'. In a cave there, we've found this rare material [Sotar Dragon Scales (Orange)]."
Dragon Scales?
The first thought that comes to mind is their connection to the Dragon Clan, but it quickly becomes apparent what they are.
Scales shed by a Hydra.
[Sotar Dragon Scales (Orange)]
[Category: Material]
(Description: Can be used for alchemy, herbalism, equipment crafting, and other various purposes.)
Well, that's some pretty good stuff.
Alchemy, herbalism, and even as material for equipment.
This counts as a multi-purpose material.
Not killing that Hydra was the right move; letting it shed its scales could yield significant gains in the future.
Moreover, according to Bai Xuan, it's a whole cave full of them.
Quite a sizable haul.
"Really good stuff, collect them all for now, we'll see what they can be used for later," Fang Hao immediately replied.
"Oh, alright boss."
