Chapter 13 The Nak Troll that Keeps Bees
After Richard ordered Karu, he put the food and water he had prepared in advance into the system space.
At the same time, I opened the system map and looked at it carefully.
"Today I will start scanning the map from the lumber camp to the west, and explore in a clockwise direction in the next few days."
After making the decision, he left the territory with 14 mummies.
Although it was only his second time walking in the desert, Richard had obviously adapted to it compared to yesterday, and his face was much calmer.
Silent, vast, and majestic, the desert is always so spectacular and makes people feel heroic.
It was still early at this time, and the yellow sand had not yet been burned by the sun.
With a goal and direction, the group moved very quickly.
Soon we passed the lumberyard, where the long-armed peons were already hard at work.
Richard did not stop and continued to explore.
But less than five minutes after leaving the lumberyard, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ears.
Turning around, he saw a few black and yellow bees passing by him.
"Are there still bees in the desert?"
He looked a little surprised.
However, those bees were very fast and flew away in the blink of an eye. He had no chance to find out what was going on.
He shook his head, didn't worry too much, and moved on.
But after walking for less than ten minutes, the mummy exploring the road ahead suddenly stopped and stepped back.
Wave to signal to the rear.
There was nothing blocking his view in the desert, and Richard immediately noticed something strange.
After confirming that no enemy has launched an attack, step forward to check the details.
He came to the warning mummies and, following their instructions, climbed up a small sand dune about ten meters high in front of him.
Richard crouched and looked forward.
On the sand dunes a hundred meters away, three teams of field troops appeared in front of them.
These humanoid beings have rock-like muscles all over their bodies, and they are bulging one by one, which is particularly conspicuous.
A bodybuilder would be ashamed and angry to death in front of such a life.
The body is two meters tall, and every move is filled with a terrifying sense of power.
The back is slightly curved, with three rows of dagger-like spikes growing on it, making it look ferocious and terrifying.
What’s even more surprising is that these strange beings are surrounded by swarms of bees.
The bee he saw just now obviously left from here.
Knuckle Troll
[Level]: Level 4
[Potential]: Elite 3 stars
[Skills]: Rock-hard (Grade D, the body is as hard as a rock, able to ignore the bites of ordinary beasts)
Full Power Attack (E level, after charging, the next attack can explode with 200% power)
Rock Body (Level E, will not die unless the head is cut off.)
[Racial Talent]: It has extremely powerful defense and cannot be pierced by ordinary weapons.
[Bond - Bee]: The Nak Troll feeds on honey and raises more than 3 nests of desert bees, automatically gaining 10 experience points every day;
If you raise more than 5 desert bees, you will automatically gain 20 experience points every day;
If you raise more than 10 desert bee nests, the desert bees will give birth to a desert queen, producing golden honey, which can increase the potential of the Nak Troll.
[Introduction]: I love honey, la la la~
Richard's eyes widened.
Good guy, is there such a weird field unit?
They look so ferocious, but they actually feed on honey. And in this vast desert, where do those bees go to collect honey?
“The world is so big, and it’s full of wonders.”
After taking a few glances at the Nak Troll's bond, he suddenly became interested.
"You can gain experience by swallowing honey. No wonder these guys have reached level 4."
"I wonder if these bees can be removed?"
Thinking of the sweetness of honey, Richard felt excited.
Although it feels weird to raise bees in the desert, even wild monsters can raise them, so why can't he.
He still doesn't believe it.
But the problem is that the opponent has three teams.
There are 10 squads in a squad, 10 squadrons in a squadron, 10 squadrons in a group, and 10 squadrons in a legion.
This is the basic troop structure of "Age of Glory" in decimal system, which is simple and easy to remember.
Faced with such a large number, the potential is as high as elite 3 stars, and it is still a unit that is good at defense.
Richard felt a bit tricky.
Although mummies are strong, there is still a question as to whether they can break through defenses.
"The strength in my hands is still weak. After accumulating some resources, I will build a second troop nest."
With his thoughts scattered, Richard took another look at the mummy's attributes.
Shroud Bandage (Grade E, reduces physical damage by 30%, the bandage comes with the curse of the undead, the infected person will fall into a weak state, and all attributes will be reduced by 20%. If not treated, they will die due to the curse.)
If you don't get treatment, you will die because of the curse.
After murmuring softly, his eyes gradually brightened.
"The opponent's defense is astonishing. Normal methods may not be effective. Although the sand transformation skill is powerful, it can only last for five minutes."
"If we attack forcefully and the battle cannot be resolved within five minutes, we may suffer a strong counterattack from the opponent, and the situation will be out of control by then."
"Why not try this passive."
"How can a group of field soldiers have the ability to exorcise the mummy's curse?"
"The opponent's defense is strong because of physical defense, and there is no magic resistance at all in the attributes."
Thinking of this, Richard made up his mind. He has always been a man of action and would do whatever he said.
Not to mention the honey that made him feel itchy, even the high experience gained from hunting the Knuckles was worth a try.
And maybe you can find some treasures inside.
Richard led the mummy around the sand dune in a half circle, and slowly approached the Nak giant monster from the downwind.
Wait until the distance is right.
Let the mummy start desertification directly.
The 14 mummies blended into the desert without leaving a trace.
A moment later, the Nak monster, who was lazily basking in the sun among the trees, suddenly heard a rustling sound.
But these wild monsters that feed on honey are much less vigilant than the desert wolves.
It wasn't until the mummy's body climbed up from the ground and even passed through their bodies that these ferocious-looking giant monsters woke up and got up one by one roaring.
They pounded the mummy's body hard with their sandbag-sized fists.
Phew~
After accumulating power, the fist even made a sonic boom.
But no matter how terrifying the attack was on the mummy, it was like being hit in the sand.
They could only feel a few slight obstacles, and then passed through the mummy's body.
Instead, their rock-like skin turned blue due to direct contact with the mummies.
The powerful momentum suddenly dropped a lot.
The mummy's curse is in effect.
But the weaker the body becomes, the crazier the Nak monster becomes.
Three teams of Nak monsters swarmed up and launched a storm-like attack around the 14 mummies.
The mummy also fought back mercilessly.
But their sharp claws that can easily tear apart the body of the desert wolf can only leave white scratches when they attack the Nak giant monster.
Unable to break defense.
The Knuckle monster with full defense attributes is much more difficult to deal with than the Desert Wolf.
For two full minutes, after the mummy confirmed that all the trolls were infected with the curse, their bodies quickly merged into the sand amidst each other's roars.
Disappeared without a trace.
No matter how roaring and angry the Nak monster is, it cannot stop the mummy after turning into sand.
After the mummies left, these giant monsters vented their anger and attacked the ground with their fists.
Make huge pits.
Yellow sand splashed all over the sky.
The desert bees flying in the air felt the anger of the giant monster and also buzzed.
After the mummy crawled out of the yellow sand, Richard immediately led them away from the area.
He came to a sand dune a few hundred meters away and carefully observed the movements of the Nak monster.
The Nak monster stirred up the sand with rage and vented its anger. After seeing that the enemy did not appear for a long time, they gradually regained their composure.
But the blue aura on his body did not disappear.
On the contrary, it has gradually deepened.
But the Nak Troll's body is too strong.
There was no obvious change for a while.
After observing for a long time, Richard showed a smile on his face.
Plan comes true!
As expected, these giant monsters have no means to get rid of the undead curse. Now it is enough to wait for the curse to swallow them.
But with the Nak Troll's physique, I'm afraid it won't be effective within a few hours, so there's no need to waste time.
After confirming that there was no accident, Richard continued to explore westward with the bandaged mummy. He is quite looking forward to what he will encounter next.
