SWNOVELXO Chapter 940, Fishing Net
Afterward, Bai Xuan sent several more photos.
In a cave amidst the mountains and forests, it was filled with such snake skins.
It's like the cave was full of meat cocoons, becoming more numerous and denser as one went deeper.
It's uncertain just how many years the Hydra has been shedding its skin.
If they were to be transported out, they could probably be measured by the ton.
This reminded Fang Hao of 'Dragon Village Island,' the legendary resting place of the Dragon Clan.
The materials there must have also accumulated into mountains.
"Boss, I plan on managing this small island," Bai Xuan's message came through again.
To link pieces of the sea area, you need islands to act as transfer stations.
Besides facilitating our own fleet, some passing merchant fleets could also stop by.
Just like a city on the trade routes, it's a great opportunity to make money.
"Okay, be careful of the sea creatures there, that area is remote," Fang Hao instructed.
Lord's expanding territory is a good thing for him; naturally, he would not refuse.
"OK, thanks boss. Once these snake skins are shipped, I'll send some your way," Bai Xuan replied.
Was about to reply with an okay.
Then footsteps were heard from outside the door.
A Skeleton merchant walked in quickly, bowed respectfully, and said: "My lord, the Elf Clan has requested to use the Teleportation Array."
Damn, how did the Elf Clan set their sights on my domain?
"What's the reason for the request?" Fang Hao closed the Book of Lords and asked casually.
"To visit the lord and to remind of the wedding date."
To visit the lord!
This is to see whether I'm dead or not.
The name that suddenly appeared the day before yesterday has indeed caught the attention of the Elf Clan.
After thinking for a while, Fang Hao replied directly: "Deny it, and say that the domain is currently not accepting any visitors. We will arrange for someone to handle the wedding matters."
"Yes, my lord."
The Elf Clan definitely can't be allowed to come.
Each and every one of them has ill intentions, and having them here is just asking for trouble.
The Skeleton merchant quickly left and denied the request to pass.
The rest is up to Savana to guess.
Hopefully, the Elf Clan will be smarter and won't harbor any ill thoughts towards me, otherwise, I really am looking for targets to enhance the strength of my heroes.
Seeing that there's nothing else to attend to, Fang Hao left the lord's mansion.
First he went to the industrial area for a look, then he took a stroll around the residential area.
From a distance, he saw on the low wall of a courtyard, which was already full of maids.
The maids in white dresses and black skirts were neatly hanging all over the low wall, peering inside.
Conversations could also be heard.
"Anjia said that snake can grow over ten meters high, very big indeed."
"Yeah, I cleaned up the bloodstains at the entrance of the lord's mansion, such a large pool, it must've been a big creature."
"After drinking that soup yesterday, I didn't sleep well at all last night, sweating all over."
"Forget it, you were screaming 'master' in your dreams all night long, we all heard."
"What nonsense are you talking, I didn't..."
"Anjia said, once we all become heroes, we will stew it and let us eat."
Fang Hao's steps suddenly paused.
She's a Dark Gold eight-tier, and you rabbits, who aren't even heroes, why are you always thinking of eating her?
Plus, I already explained this to Anjia yesterday, none of it got through to you?
He gently tapped on the maids' butts, saying: "Don't spread rumors, this is a hero newly recruited to our territory."
The maids all turned around in unison.
Seeing Fang Hao standing behind them, they all showed smiles and coquettishly called out, "Master."
"Hmm, what are you all gathered here for?" Fang Hao asked.
"Eira asked us to bring it food."
Fang Hao also stood on the wall and looked inside.
He saw the Hydra coiled under the shade of the trees, three of its heads opening their dislocated-like massive mouths, swallowing food into their bellies.
It seemed to be eating the domesticated wild boar.
Just like that, bit by bit, gobbling it down.
Fang Hao too saw for the first time how a Hydra ate its food, truly like a beast.
He signaled for the ladies to leave and instructed, "Let the Skeletons deliver the food in the future."
"Oh, alright."
...
In the afternoon.
Aerygon sent a private message.
"Mr. Fang Hao, I have received a dark elf archer blueprint; there's no news from the Elf Clan yet."
Collecting archer blueprints was what he asked Aerygon to do.
He had asked him to collect an Elf Clan archer troop type, but he didn't expect to obtain a Dark Elf's blueprint in the process.
That's fine too, a bit of synthesis wouldn't be a waste.
"Alright, trade it to me, thanks for the effort," Fang Hao sent the message.
"Of course!"
The next second, a barrack blueprint appeared in his hand.
[Concealed Target Range Blueprint (Purple)].
The building can recruit a ninth-tier troop known as 'Shadow Archers.' Although not reaching the tenth tier, it's not a big problem.
It's just a matter of a few syntheses, the main thing is the attributes of the troop type.
Continuing to direct Aerygon to collect higher-tier troops, he then closed the Book of Lords.
Opening the synthesis blueprint, he began to synthesize.
First, he combined 'Shadow Archers' and 'Thunder Gunners' to create a new undead troop with longbow effects, dubbed 'Tomb Shooter,' a tenth-tier troop.
Then, Fang Hao took out a second synthesis blueprint and continued the process.
The blueprint opened, and the prompt followed.
[Please select the needed blueprint for the barracks]
[Blessing Archer Tomb][Longbowman Target Range]
The next second, the blank blueprint suddenly opened up.
[Blueprint contains Mythical Troops, maximum options limit +1.]
Maximum options limit?
After a glance at the properties below, Fang Hao understood.
'Unconfirmed' in traits went from a maximum of five choices to six.
Indeed, an additional one was added.
[Tomb Shooter (Tier 10)]→[Unnamed]←[Eagle Eye Longbowman (Mythical)]
[Faction: Undead]→[Unconfirmed]←[Faction: Humans]
[Racial Traits: Undead, Hollow Skeleton, Weakness to Light, Natural Resistance, Shadow Archer.]→[Unconfirmed (up to six items)]←[Racial Traits: Living Creatures, Eagle Eye, Hunting Might.]
[Skills: Precision Aiming, Rapid Reload, Bloodlust, Steady Aim, Tactical Advantage, Rapid Movement.]→[Unconfirmed (up to seven items)]←[Precision Drop, Wind Arrow, Fixed Shooting, Indomitable Will.]
[Innate Skills: Advanced Firearms Mastery, Advanced Shooting Mastery, Advanced Concealment Mastery, Advanced Gunpowder Mastery, Advanced Short Sword Mastery, Advanced Poison Mastery, Intermediate Battle Axe Mastery, Intermediate Crossbow Mastery, Intermediate Dagger Mastery.]→[Unconfirmed]←[Field Archery Mastery, Field Shooting Mastery, Advanced Short Sword Mastery.]
The variety of skills still seemed rather complicated.
Fang Hao carefully analyzed them.
He already had some ideas in his mind.
The faction would definitely still be the Undead.
For racial traits, in addition to the fixed three undead traits, he also chose [Shadow Archer][Eagle Eye]and[Hunting Might].
[Shadow Archer]: This unit is unaffected by night vision, chance of being seen by enemies in the dark -35%.
[Eagle Eye]: Sharp as a hawk, possessing great eyesight.
[Hunting Might]: Maximum range of 4500 meters.
Shadow Archer was originally an attribute of Dark Elf archers, the other two belonged to the Eagle Eye Longbowman.
Combined, they were actually quite suited for night battles.
In the darkness, while others' vision is impaired, the Longbowmen could see further and clearer.
Hiding in the dark, a round of archery ends the matter.
It could be considered a somewhat overpowered method.
And here, Eagle Eye probably isn't referring to the actual eyes of a hawk, but a kind of state.
Undead don't have such things as eyeballs.
For skills, Fang Hao incorporated [Precision Shooting][Rapid Reload][Bloodlust][Steady Aim][Precision Drop][Wind Arrow]and[Indomitable Will].
Nothing fancy, mostly about increasing accuracy and reloading speed.
As for the last innate skills, Fang Hao simplified them a bit.
Having so many was useless.
[Innate Skills: Field Archery Mastery, Field Shooting Mastery, Advanced Short Sword Mastery, Advanced Concealment Mastery.]
He didn't add the remaining Poison Mastery, Battle Axe Mastery and such.
After filling everything out, only the name was left.
After some thought, he wrote down [Blessed Longbowman].
A burst of light flashed over the blueprint.
[Synthesized Troop Type: Blessed Longbowman (Mythical)]
[A brand-new troop type structure has been created.]
[Unlocked Blueprint: Blessing Archer Tomb Construction Blueprint]
Three prompts appeared in succession, indicating the blueprint was successful.
Finally, there was a Mythical level barracks for troops.
Although Fang Hao preferred the infantry strategy of overwhelming numbers, or the rapid, surprise attack capability of flight troops.
But the troop type for sniping from a distance wasn't bad either.
Next steps in troop synthesis direction.
Have infantry reach Mythical level and at the same time synthesize Mage troops.
Mage troops are high burst, high damage troop units in any force.
Although they haven't been much used on his side.
They are still needed.
...
After a bustle of activity.
The sky darkened, and the vast main city gradually dimmed as well, save for the huge Nightstones atop the industrial zone's iron towers, which remained bright.
In the ornate pavilion with exquisite gold carving, the floor was covered with a colorful carpet embroidered with scroll floral patterns.
The Dragon Queen, in a light white long dress, stood barefoot on it with her fair skin.
The light white dress, embroidered with petal and flame patterns, thin fabric shimmered in the light, revealing skin as smooth and young as a girl's.
The Dragon Queen held in her hands a piece of black fabric that resembled a fishnet, frowning slightly in puzzlement.
Looking it over and over, she couldn't find the next step.
Stockings were quite comfortable to wear, wrapping tight around the skin and offering decency; they prevented too much exposure when wearing skirts.
But this new type of net made of thin strings, is this also a kind of stocking?
The Undead tailors always came up with such odd things.
As a hero, the leader of the Dragon Clan, the strongest Demigod.
It was important for the Dragon Queen to dress properly, with dignity and solemnity.
But this thing in front of her...
Isn't it a bit, um..., a bit too enchanting, even a bit provocative?
If she wore this out and was seen by others, it would be a laughingstock.
But looking at it in her hands, she hesitated again.
It wouldn't hurt to try; what if the effect was good after wearing it?
She could actually overcome this.
She was not so rigidly traditional after all.
Having made up her mind, she sat down to the side.
Lifting the hem of her skirt, she began to pull on the not-so-easy-to-wear fishnet, sliding it up her legs...
Just as she got it up to her calves, suddenly a voice rang out.
"Dragon Queen, what brings you here?"
The Dragon Queen, who was gathering her toes to pull the netting further up, suddenly froze in her action.
The entire atmosphere seemed to come to a standstill.
