The pink pigman.
Half an hour later, the worms within the cave had been largely eradicated after the skeletal spear wielder vanquished the mother worm.
A silver chest was discovered behind the nest, marking a modest triumph.
Upon exiting the mine, the skeleton behind him transported the silver chest and placed it before Fongo.
Clear the mine and transport all corpses and bones for incineration.
Fong Hao commanded emphatically.
The skeletons began to organize themselves.
Some ventured nearby to harvest timber, while the others returned to the mine to extract every corpse and bone, preparing them for burning.
Fungho approached the chest and opened it directly.
Acquired iron small round shield blueprint, iron pickaxe blueprint, iron plate blueprint, 65 battle coins.
Upon seeing the rewards, Fonggho's eyes glimmered with excitement.
This chest had yielded blueprints all related to iron.
Iron small round shield 12 wood, five metal parts, two iron plates.
Description: A wooden small round shield encased in a layer of sturdy iron, enhancing the shield's defense and resilience.
This was quite satisfactory.
The iron small round shield would serve as an excellent replacement for his current hardwood shield, thereby bolstering the infantry's defense.
Iron pickaxe, two wood, two iron.
The iron pickaxe was a blueprint fong how I'd been eagerly seeking, its necessity surpassing even that of weaponry blueprints.
The stone pickaxe's mining speed was painfully slow, and its low durability made it prone to damage.
With the iron pickaxe, the work efficiency of the laboring skeletons would significantly increase.
Moreover, such iron tools were highly marketable, promising a good price.
Iron plate, two cast iron blocks.
Description: Processed iron plates.
Crucial materials for forging iron implements.
The emergence of the iron plate filled Fong How with delight.
In his recent dealings with the copper bull, iron plates were among the materials required for crafting defensive gear.
To his surprise, he had now acquired the blueprint for the iron plate here.
As for the cast iron blocks needed to synthesize the iron plate, he had yet to devise a method, but he remained unperturbed.
There was ample time before he had promised the copperable delivery.
While Fong Hao examined the rewards, all the animal carcasses were set ablaze.
This precaution was taken to ensure that no remaining worms lay hidden among the corpses.
Thus, he opted to incinerate everything.
The fire crackled ominously, roaring like a dragon that consumed all in its path, enveloping the corpses until they were reduced to ashes.
After burning for over an hour, the flames gradually diminished and extinguished.
Once the skeletons covered the remains with soil, they began their return journey.
Passing through the pigman village, Fongo invoked divine descent, transferring his essence from a soldier to his skeletal cavalryman.
Divine descent target, skeleton scout compatibility 65.
As he tugged on the res, the skeletal steed reared magnificently.
The noise from the stable caught the attention of the pigmen outside.
Cautiously entering, they bowed respectfully and inquired, "Is it Lord Fong How?" Previously, the leader of the pig-headed tribe had arranged for someone to invite Fong out of the chief's hall.
However, no matter how others spoke, these skeletal cavalry remained as unresponsive as statues.
In despair, they decided to wait outside.
"Is there something a miss?" Fongo inquired curiously.
He still could not discern the appearance of the pig-headed beings.
But the individual before him was certainly not Bolton.
Upon hearing Fong Ha's voice, the pig-headed creature trembled, momentarily takenback.
Yet, it did not forget the leader's instructions, and with a slight tremor in its legs, it hurriedly said, "Esteemed Mr.
Fong Hao, our chief has been informed of your arrival.
Please proceed to the chief's hall.
" "Oh," Fong Hao paused, then continued, "Leadle the way.
" Certainly, my lord, please follow me.
The pigheaded being replied, promptly leading the way.
The village was modest in size, and they soon arrived at the heart of the settlement, the chief's hall.
Chief, Mister Fong Hao has arrived.
Ah, please let Mr.
Fong Ho enter, the chief responded.
Fonggho stepped directly into the building.
Inside the hall sat a female pigheaded creature approximately 1 5 m tall with a slightly plump figure adorned in a light blue robe embellished with red flowers at the collar.
Her skin was a pale pink and around her neck she wore a gem necklace.
She could be considered the most aesthetically pleasing pigheaded being Fong How had encountered.
Although her appearance still did not conform to human standards of beauty.
Nevertheless, she evoked no feelings of disgust resembling more of a pet pig.
Esteemed Mr.
Fong Howl.
Good afternoon.
My name is Petty.
I have heard that you intend to cleanse the abandoned mine.
Is there any assistance we can provide? Petty inquired softly.
No need.
The abandoned mine has already been cleared.
Before nightfall, I will arrange for personnel to commence mining.
Fong Hao replied calmly.
Upon hearing such a casual response, clang Petty lost her balance and fell from her chair.
She quickly stood up, her previously pale face turning crimson.
Clearing her throat, she said, "Mr.
Fong How, what did you just say? I did not catch that.
Are you saying you planned to cleanse the abandoned mine? Many tribes have attempted to do so, but none have succeeded, and it has remained neglected until now.
" She believed she must have misheard or that Fong how had misspoken.
How could it be that she had only just received news of Fong How's arrival in the morning, and by afternoon it was already cleared? "No, the iron eating worms within the abandoned mine have been eradicated by me.
" "Later, I will arrange for the extraction of the ore," Fong Hao reiterated.
Upon hearing Fong Ha's second confirmation, Petty was assured that she had not misheard, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
to conquer the seemingly insurmountable abandoned mind so swiftly and effortlessly.
It was almost beyond belief.
Were it not for the skeletal form before her, exuding an aura of mystery and strength, she would have suspected a deception.
You're not justing, are you? You have eradicated all the worms.
Petty continued to inquire.
There is nothing to conceal.
If you wish to verify, now is the time to send someone to take a look.
Funhao's tone was calm, and he continued, "The mine is mine alone.
Should you entertain any ill intentions, I shall regard it as an act of provocation.
" Upon hearing this, Petty's expression faltered slightly.
She could discern the confidence in Fongo's voice, a confidence rooted in his own strength, as well as a disregard for the Pigman tribe.
"No, of course not," Petty quickly retorted.
The atmosphere had turned somewhat awkward.
Petty had invited Fong how upon learning of his intentions to clear the mind, intending to offer some support and derive certain benefits.
However, she did not anticipate that he would declare the mind had already been cleared and assert his claim so forcefully, placing her in a predicament.
Just as she was about to say something further, hurried footsteps echoed from outside.
A pigman rushed in, breathless.
Chief, it's bad.
A legion of undead has suddenly appeared outside and is advancing towards the village.
