After getting a lot of useful information, Richard closed the forum.

Surfing the internet is too time-consuming.

Without hesitation, he took 14 mummies to the edge of the city of twilight.

A first-class village, the area is not large, there is no city wall outside, and there is a desert everywhere.

At this time, it was noon, and the yellow sand was shining under the sun, like a piece of golden sand.

The heat wave is rolling in.

Richard glanced down and saw that the ground of the territory was paved with stones, and a step away was yellow sand.

The dividing line is clear, and there seems to be a special rule separating the two sides.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed a transparent shield in front of a dividing line, like an upside-down bowl, protecting the city of dusk.

Richard understood.

This is the shield of the guardian that the forum speaks of.

Stretch out your right hand.

The moment the shield was touched, a system prompt sounded.

"Ding~ Do you want to leave the city of dusk?

The Guardian Shield will provide a month of protection, and after leaving, the Guardian Shield will shatter after a week.

Note: The Guardian Shield is a rule product and cannot be broken. ”

If you are afraid of death, you can stay in the territory all the time, and you can stay for a whole month without worrying about your safety.

If you leave now, then the time will be reduced to seven days.

I have to say that this really hit the hearts of a lot of people.

But it's also a huge trap.

How precious is the early development time, and enjoying a month of safe time here is not equivalent to wasting a month.

He didn't hesitate and stepped out of the shield.

There is no feeling when you pass through it, as if the shield is not there.

Richard ignored the others, looking at the few resource points marked on the system map, and thought to himself.

With the information provided by Karui, it is possible to occupy all the resource points around the territory.

Judging from the map, these resource points are only twenty minutes away from the City of Dusk.

"The lumberyard is ← on the west side of the city of Dusk, less than ten minutes away.

Stone Mountain is in the northwest direction, about fifteen minutes.

The suspected iron ore resource point is in the northeast direction, and the distance of about 20 minutes is ......"

"Let's start with the nearest lumberyard."

After carefully comparing the system maps, Richard clarified the goal of the operation.

Rustling~

The leather boots stepped into the yellow sand, and the fine sand flowed through the instep, with a bit of heat.

When he lifted his feet, the sand rustled and fell, returning to the yellow sand, leaving only irregular footprints in the same place.

The city of twilight is flat for a kilometer, and a kilometer away are undulating sand dunes.

The vast yellow sand, with no edge in sight, is simple and desolate.

The scorching wind mixed with a little fine sand blows on the face, drying the mouth and tongue.

The desert has always been a symbol of the forbidden land of life in the hearts of ordinary people.

However, Richard has the talent of a desert lord, and walking in the desert is not the slightest stress, but feels quite relaxed.

It seems like a fish is back in the water.

Not to mention mummies.

Race Talent: Increases stamina and injury recovery by 50% in the desert.

This land of death, which is difficult for outsiders to enter, is their home turf.

Richard had 4 mummies in front of him, and he was protected by 10 mummies.

But as soon as he stepped out of the kilometer range and came to the sand dunes, the mummy in front of him became excited.

Turning to Richard.

Interestingly, the mummy's mouth was sealed and he couldn't speak.

Information can only be communicated through the body.

Seeing this, Richard did not delay, and immediately climbed the sand dunes with 10 mummies.

About four or five hundred meters away, a tree-lined forest grows in the sand.

The shadows of the trees are swaying, and the greenery is indescribable.

The vibrant scene contrasted with the silence of the surrounding desert.

Through the branches, you can faintly see that there seem to be some wooden buildings inside.

Lumberyards

Grade: Small

Reserves: 20,000 units

Maximum output: 2100 units per week

Capacity: Minimum 2 people, full capacity 10 people.

Description: A normal resource point that can be used to build a small lumberyard when captured.

Small lumberyards?

Reserves of 20,000 units?

Can you produce 2,100 units per week?

Richard's eyes narrowed slightly.

In this way, as long as you occupy this lumber yard, you can get 300 units of wood every day.

He immediately became interested, and sped forward with the mummy.

But as they approached the lumberyard, they suddenly heard a seeping roar from inside.

Brush~

Immediately afterwards, twenty or thirty figures rushed out of the woods five or six meters high.

Richard paused and stared.

I saw that these monsters that suddenly appeared had hideous heads like jackals, and their eyes glowed with a seeping green light.

The body has thick gray hair, and it is as tough as armor.

Hunched back, one hand propped on the ground, sharp claws leaving scratches on the ground.

When running forward, he also uses both hands.

The mouth of the blood basin opened wide, revealing sharp canine teeth, and the constant secretion of saliva pulled a long silk thread in the air.

Desert Gnolls

[Level]: Level 1

[Potential]: Ordinary 2 stars

[Skill]: Brutal (F rank, once attacked, anger will consume reason and become fearless until you kill the enemy.) ）

[Racial Talent]: Has a keen sense of smell.

[Bond-Gnoll]: If the number of Gnolls is greater than 10, all strength will be increased by 10%;

Quantity greater than 20, Strength increased by 20% (activated)

[Introduction]: Be careful with your throat.

These sudden gnolls number more than 30 and also activate bonds that increase their strength by 20%.

The momentum is vicious.

When Richard saw this scene, his heart not only did not fear, but became very excited.

His mummy is elite-level!

"Attack!"

With a wave of his hand, 14 bandage mummies rushed straight up.

The mummy's throat let out a low, oozing roar, its open claws tearing through steel, its brutality, and its hollow eye sockets without eyeballs were terrifying.

Their speed hasn't slowed down because they're covered in bandages.

In just a few breaths, the mummy was in battle with more than 30 gnolls.

Roar~

A gnoll lunges up and bites the mummies in an attempt to put an end to the necromancers that terrify them.

The mummy lunged forward with his heavily bandaged arm and slammed into the gnoll's head.

The gnoll whimpered, took a few steps back, and nearly fell to the ground.

But this completely stimulated the beastly nature in the blood, roar~ After a low roar, he quickly rushed forward, and the open huge mouth bit directly on the mummy's arm.

Then the head swung wildly, trying to tear the mummy in front of it with its sharp teeth.

Body of Death (Class E, fearless of pain, fearless of death, immune to poison and plague. ）

The mummy doesn't feel pain or fear at all.

When the jackal bites, poof~ the sharp five fingers that can tear the steel pierce directly into the gnoll's abdomen.

Claw Tear (E grade, 30% sharper fingers and 30% stronger fingers.) ）

Blood spurts wildly~

The other's blood stained the bandages on its arms.

The gnoll let out a wail, and the skin on his body glowed a faint blue in the pain.

At the same time, the power quickly faded.

Shroud Bandage (Tier E, 30% reduction in physical damage, Bandage comes with plague, the infected will fall into a weakened state, all stats will be reduced by 20%, and if not healed, they will gradually die. ）

After the mummy's fingers stabbed the other party, instead of stopping, he pulled hard, and he pulled it hard, ah~

The gnoll's abdomen felt like a razor, like a coat that had been unzipped open.

Flesh and blood blur.

In the midst of the severe pain, the extremely brutal gnolls still did not give up the attack.

The two claws are still attacking the mummy fiercely.

The smell of blood from the frantic fighting here immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding gnolls.

The running monsters' eyes turned a little crimson, and they pounced on the mummy.

The mummy was dragged by the gnolls, and he didn't have time to dodge, and was directly overwhelmed by seven or eight gnolls.

The bandages on his body continued to crack, revealing his shriveled body in some places.

But in this mortal situation.

The attacking gnolls let out a scream, their bodies suddenly glowing blue, and their strength rapidly decreased.

It receded like an electric shock.

The mummy who had just been besieged was flowing like yellow sand at this time.

The claws of the attacking gnolls seemed to pierce into the sand.

Only a slight blockage was felt to penetrate the opponent's body, and after the claws left, the mummy's body returned to its original state.

Not only did they fail to do even the slightest damage, but the gnolls who launched the attack were infected with the plague and their physical strength was rapidly weakened.

Sandification (D-class, sandifies the body, reduces physical damage taken by 99%, can devour yellow sand to restore injuries, lasts 5 minutes, and has a cooldown of 2 hours.) ）

Without magic damage, within five minutes, a mummy standing on the sand is an immortal.

The sharp five fingers solidified in the sand, tearing apart the two gnolls who were unwilling to bite him on the spot.

After this scene, the fate of these gnolls was sealed.

Although the gnolls fight fiercely, the mummies are even more domineering.

Even if you don't use sandification, the mummy can use its strong strength to suppress the opponent, and after using sandification, the mummy is like invincible.

Jackal after gnoll man had his throat slitted by a mummy's heart pierced......

The battle lasted only a minute or two before it was over.

When the last gnoll fell, the system ascension sounded.

"Ding~ The army you led wiped out a group of gnolls and won a mini-battle, and you gained 34 experience."

Richard, who was supervising the battle in the rear, was in a good mood.

This is the combat effectiveness of the elite-level troops, facing an enemy several times their own, slaughtering a fine light without the slightest damage.

I glanced at my rank.

Level: Level 1 (34/100)

The progress of the upgrade has increased visibly by a large margin.

The bigger bonus is that after exterminating the Gnoll, he can capture this resource point.
