The blue staff would seamlessly replace the green wooden root staff, enhancing the offensive capabilities of his necromancer army.
Continuing to examine the remaining blueprints, he noted white steel pickaxe, one sturdy wood, two white steel ingots, one thick leather.
Mining tracks, five lumber, five iron, three cast iron blocks.
Mining cart, 12 lumber, 15 iron, eight cast iron blocks.
These three blueprints were straightforward in their utility.
Though not for equipment, they were essential for mining operations, particularly the tracks and carts.
Equipping the mining site would significantly enhance extraction efficiency and alleviate the labor burden on the miners.
Their value was not inferior to that of acquiring a blue equipment blueprint.
Since the mining tracks were measured by linear meters, Fungho with his 100fold amplification had no fear of material consumption.
Upon returning, the production will commence and the plans will be distributed to each mine.
All blueprints have been meticulously reviewed.
Utilizing the Lord's book, all data will be compiled, and from the two piles of spoils, everything except the stone materials will be stored in the storage space.
Now, with these stones, we shall seal the entrance.
Funha pointed towards the cave entrance.
The skeletal trolls resumed their labor, completely sealing the opening.
This mine will certainly be designated for extraction, but not at this moment.
The distance to the mana market is considerable, making the idea of mining here rather fanciful.
The most prudent approach would be to establish a subsidiary village near the mine, similar to the Pigman village, or to arrange for the construction of a village before commencing extraction operations.
Before long, the mine was entirely sealed.
Fonggho continued to examine the large map, searching for the location of the next site, the spider forest.
Where shall we head next? and Jia inquired curiously.
Her arm draped over Fong Hoa's shoulder.
The soft touch of the little dumpling against her arm was comforting.
It was still early and they could make another trip to the spider forest.
Fong Ho casually remarked, "All right, then let us set off quickly.
The sooner we finish, "The sooner we can return for dinner.
Aren't I checking the location?" Fongo retorted slightly exasperated.
After determining their direction, the group climbed back onto the skeletal dragon and soared towards the spider forest.
The distance was not great.
After flying for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, they arrived at the designated point on the map.
Beneath the clouds lay a dense forest, its lush canopy adorned with white spiderw webs, resembling a vast white veil enveloping the entire woodland.
Lowering their altitude slightly, they could even observe small green spiders with white spots skittering across the webs, weaving their intricate traps.
As the group frowned in observation, a violent tremor emanated from the forest below.
Strange spider-like creatures began to ascend the treetops.
These beings possessed human-like torsos, yet their lower halves were colossal spiders, complete with eight legs and a massive bloated abdomen.
It was not merely a person riding a top a giant spider.
Rather, they were one and the same.
Fungho had heard of centators.
But this was his first encounter with a half spider creature.
What on earth is that? How grotesque, Fong Ha remarked, wrinkling his brow.
Before anyone could respond, the spider archers below commenced their assault on the skeletal dragon hovering above.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Arrows soared into the sky.
"Attack! Dragon's breath!" Fongo commanded decisively.
The skeletal dragon swooped down, unleashing its deathly breath upon a mass of spiders below.
Wherever the breath swept, the flesh of the humanoid spiders melted away and fell.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The dense forest obscured their vision as white silk threads erupted, attempting to ensnare the circling skeletal dragon.
However, the 10th tier skeletal dragon s strength and attributes far surpassed those of the spiders below, easily severing the webbing, continuing to soar.
It unleashed a breath of death upon the earth below.
The dark column of energy did not ignite the forest into flames.
However, the dense aura of demise caused the trees to wither and decay in an instant, while the silken canopy lay in tatters.
Observing the scene, it was evident that within a mere few rounds, this spider's layer would be utterly annihilated.
Just as the 11 skeletal dragons circled the skies, preparing to unleash their breath for the third time, humanoid spiders at top the treetops bound linen strips to the ends of their long bows, fervently waving them towards the heavens.
They have surrendered, Anja declared.
Surrender? How did you discern that? Binding cloth to their weapons in accordance with orish custom signifies a signal of capitulation.
Anja elucidated.
Do spiders count as orcs? I am uncertain, Anja replied, shaking her head.
Regardless of their classification, one thing is clear.
These spiders belong to an intelligent race.
Otherwise, they would not comprehend the concept of surrender.
Fongo pondered for a moment before invoking divine intervention once more.
Descending towards the ground on the back of the limping skeletal gray sparrow, the opposing party made no move to attack, merely regarding the approaching skeletal sparrow with wary eyes.
Approaching the dense thicket, Fong Hao proclaimed, "I accept your surrender.
Have your leader bring all of you out of the forest and into the clearing to the west.
You have 10 minutes.
Otherwise, we shall resume our assault.
" With that, the skeletal gray sparrow turned and flew back.
Chapter 284.
The Weaver of Fate.
10 minutes later, a multitude of spiders, humanoid, giant spiders, emerged from the dense forest.
Without the cover of the thick canopy, all arachnids were laid bare before Fong How.
The number of spiders was considerable.
Even after being ravaged by the breath of death, there remained thousands.
The spider swarm was divided into two forms.
One was the ordinary spider, roughly the size of a basin.
The other was the humanoid giant spider, a hybrid of humanoid and colossal arachnid.
Approaching the size of a bear amidst the throng of spiders, a colossal figure approached from the rear.
This was a female humanoid.
Her lower body resembling that of a spider with green skin adorned with black markings, her size akin to that of an elephant.
Her four legs, sharp as blades, moved with an air of elegance.
She stepped into the space between the two groups, gazing at the silver-haired girl with beastlike ears who had long been waiting.
She spoke softly, "My lady, you.
" The giant spiderwoman slightly bowed, but was interrupted by the silver-haired girl who pointed to her shoulder.
Perched, there was a one-legged skeletal gray bird.
"Is it your leader?" The giant spiderwoman s eyes widened in disbelief and Jean nodded affirmatively.
Fong Ha was scrutinizing the giant spiderwoman before him.
Weaver of Fate, tier 10.
To be frank, Fonhow is not particularly fond of spiders, especially those with multiple legs and a massive abdomen.
Although the woman before him possessed a pleasing visage, her spider-like body still evoked a sense of discomfort within him.
However, he was somewhat astonished to discover that this woman was indeed a tier 10 entity.
Should she partake in the heroic trial, she would be eligible for a class change to hero.
The weaver of fate observed in Ja, sensing that she was not gesting, and turned her attention to the one-legged skeletal bird upon her shoulder, bowing slightly.
"My lady, we bear no ill will and hope to resolve this conflict peacefully.
" "You are the leader?" Funha inquired.
Upon hearing the skeletal gray bird speak, the giant spiderwoman displayed a look of astonishment, visibly swallowing hard.
"Why, yes, my lord.
" The giant spiderwoman replied, "What is your name?" Fongghao continued.
Doina, my lord.
Very well, Domina.
I was passing through with my subordinates when your people launched an attack upon us.
How do you propose we resolve this matter? Fonggho asked in a stern tone.
