Chapter 123 Seizing the Mine Vein, Three Anti-Ant Treasures!
In fact, the skeleton army, which outnumbered the kobold squad by twice, would have been more than enough to easily deal with them.
However, in order to finish the battle quickly and avoid alerting the nearby kobold camp, Ark went all out this time.
After rushing into the open-pit mine, he first manipulated the power of the undead, unleashing a dense barrage of bone arrows.
Countless arrows rained down like a sudden downpour, instantly reaping the lives of several kobolds who were still focused on mining and caught off guard.
Immediately afterwards, Fangzhou brandished his staff and cast the [Mass Brutality] spell.
An aura of deathly power and putrefactive toxins instantly enveloped the entire skeleton army, greatly enhancing their attack power.
Faced with the relentless onslaught of the enhanced skeleton army, even the elite kobolds proved utterly vulnerable. Though they fought desperately and attempted to organize an effective defense, the Ark astutely seized a crucial opportunity.
He unleashed several powerful bone spears in succession, accurately piercing the hearts of the elite kobolds who were trying to fight back, killing them one by one.
With the elite kobolds falling, the remaining kobolds lost their leader, and panic and despair spread.
Under the onslaught of the dense, wall-like army of skeletons, the kobolds' defenses crumbled instantly.
Their morale collapsed immediately, and they tried to escape the mine in order to survive.
However, the reason why Ark expended so much mental energy to summon so many skeletons was to prevent any from escaping.
At this moment, how could we possibly let them escape?
Thus, under the tight and orderly encirclement of the skeleton army, in just a few minutes, all the kobolds in the mine were slaughtered and fell on their favorite ore.
Hunting points +40.
"Soul Power +1.2".
The entire battle was so swift and efficient that the kobold camp in the distance was completely unaware of it.
When everything returned to calm, Ark and his army of skeletons had successfully taken over the open-pit mine.
Without delay, Ark immediately proceeded with the plan.
His plan to use one enemy to devour another was actually quite simple: lure the ferocious ant swarm in the underground anthill to attack the kobold camp.
The specific operation involves three steps.
The first step, naturally, is to lure the ants out of their hole.
The fact that the kobolds easily dealt with the ferocious ants in the previous battle has fully demonstrated that a few scattered and insignificant ferocious ants pose no threat to the kobolds.
Only by luring the ferocious ant swarm out of their nest can they have a chance to severely damage the kobold camp below the mountain.
Fangzhou took out several items from his backpack; these were the key tools that gave him the confidence to lure the ants out of their hole.
The first item was the [Frog Drum], which he obtained after defeating the Swamp Frog in the Foul Swamp.
This special artifact, through precise adjustment of sound wave frequency, can simulate a specific summoning sound that has a strong allure for insect-type monsters.
Even though the ferocious ants have changed many of their habits during their demonic transformation and mutation, their insect nature still makes them unable to resist such a call.
The second item is several ferocious ant queen glands that Ark has been hunting and collecting over the past three days. These special glands contain strong pheromones that are extremely attractive to ant-like monsters, effectively stimulating their aggressive desires and grouping behavior.
The third key item is the sweet sac, painstakingly collected from slimes.
According to the hunting log, the sweet scent emitted by these sacs is also effective in attracting ferocious ants.
With a three-pronged approach, Fangzhou was determined to lure the massive army of ferocious ants out of their nest!
At the Haicheng Military Academy.
When the open-pit mine appeared on the Ark's live stream, all the students watching the game went wild.
"Such a huge open-pit mine! Ark is going to be rich!"
"It's unbelievable that such a rich mineral vein could be found in Cave 1, which has been explored for decades!"
"What kind of luck does Ark have! He got so many rare and wonderful items after just one trip into the underground cave."
Not to mention, he managed to get such a huge haul just by casually wiping out a bunch of kobolds! I'm so jealous!
One student, trying to make light of the situation, said, "It's alright, it looks like this vein is iron ore, not very valuable."
I just don't know how much refined stone is stored inside.
Another student chuckled: "Even with a small amount of reserves, there are still at least a few hundred contribution points!"
The Ark expert doesn't need to do anything now; all he needs to do is record these coordinates and report them to the military academy.
Once the military academy survey is complete, we can just sit back and earn contribution points!
Watching Ark command the skeleton army to swiftly and decisively eliminate the kobold squad, another student couldn't help but exclaim, "Look at Ark, he's unstoppable in the underground world!"
Then look at Meng Hongzhuang and Gu Zhiqi, they were chased so badly by the demons that they were running for their lives, crying and screaming.
Look at us, we can only sit here and learn how the pros hunt and fight.
Sigh, how can the differences between people be so vast!
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy classroom fell silent.
Everyone present felt as if they had been stabbed in the heart, yet they couldn't find the words to refute it.
However, some loyal fans of Ark were not discouraged at all; on the contrary, they seemed proud of it.
The girl with the oval face in the first row excitedly slapped the table, repeatedly chanting, "Fangzhou, the master, forever a god!"
Suddenly, a student noticed Fangzhou's actions and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What is Fangzhou trying to do?"
Are you going to feed the ferocious ants with kobolds?
The students immediately looked up at the live stream.
In an open-pit mine.
Ark commanded his army of skeletons to crush some of the ferocious ant queen's glands and slime sacs, mixing their juices and smearing them on the kobolds' bodies.
Then, Fangzhou used several sturdy long ropes to string together some of the bait-covered creatures and threw them one by one into the entrances of multiple ant nests in the mineral vein.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Zhou began to beat the frog drum in his hand, and a low and rhythmic croaking sound echoed through the silent hills.
This specially designed sound wave has no effect on humans or kobolds, but it is a deadly temptation for the ant colonies lurking underground.
As Fangzhou continued to beat the frog drum, he activated his Soul Vision skill to closely observe the changes in the surrounding soul fluctuations in order to gain timely insight into the situation.
To ensure the plan went smoothly, he made proper arrangements for the 60 skeleton soldiers under the devil's command.
Only a few remained to guard themselves, while the rest retreated to a distance to avoid interfering with the ferocious ants' movement.
Rumble.
Rumble.
A moment later, the earth began to tremble slightly, as if some enormous creature was moving rapidly underground.
Fang Zhou's expression was solemn as he stared intently at the entrance to the anthill in the mineral vein.
In the Soul Vision, hundreds of clusters of soul light representing ferocious ants were rapidly converging towards the surface, clearly attracted by his carefully designed bait.
It seems that the bait he carefully prepared worked even better than he had imagined.
The first step of luring the ants out of their hole was a great success!
