Chapter 22: The Black Blood Tribe
Udi followed behind Skee with curiosity.
A moment later, a man and a dragon arrived at the so-called Black Blood Tribe.
Dozens of emaciated kobolds, less than a meter tall, walked around more than a hundred meters from the entrance of the passage.
Those who carry timber, those who carry stones in baskets, and those who carry stone knives to divide their prey.
There are currently only five wooden houses in the entire Black Blood Tribe, all of which are enclosed by a fence more than two meters high, forming a rudimentary gathering place. Among them, the wooden house in the middle is the largest, four meters high, and covers an area of more than two hundred square meters. The other four wooden houses are very small, only two meters high, and the area is only 100 square meters.
Obviously, the former is the place where Shiki, the leader of the Black Blood Tribe, lives, while the latter, the low wooden houses, are inhabited by ordinary kobolds who are less than a meter tall.
A group of kobolds patrolling around the tribe with wooden spears to drive away the harassment of wild beasts noticed this side.
When he saw the huge and sturdy black dragon behind Shi Ji, his expression suddenly changed.
It's not fear, it's excitement!
A puppy roared out, and soon the entire black-blooded tribe became lively.
Seeing this, Shi Ji immediately took two steps forward and scolded angrily, "Everyone shut up, come over and gather for me, and meet the great true dragon master!" ”
Shiki's prestige was very high, and almost instantly the barking of the dogs of the entire tribe disappeared, and all the kobolds put down their work and quickly gathered in the open space in front of the tribe.
Soon, the black-blood tribesmen were assembled.
Shi Ji turned his head and said respectfully to Udi, "Master, these are all the clansmen of the Black Blood Tribe, a total of ninety-three people, fifty young and strong kobolds, and forty-three female kobolds. ”
Udi looked at these kobolds with fanatical expressions hidden, and the dragon wings that had been retracted instantly unfolded, and flew into the air with a slight shock.
The shadow cast by the dragon's body covered many kobolds.
It was just a simple action, and Udi didn't even open his mouth, and nearly a hundred kobolds all knelt down and kowtowed to it.
In his mouth, he said: The great true dragon master.... Your dragon wings are enough to shade the sky..... The vigorous dragon body is gorgeous and powerful....
It's basically a few simple words to praise and praise Udi's strength.
"Alright, shut up." Udi spoke calmly.
All the kobolds below were suddenly silent, and their bodies trembled and knelt down.
"You are weak and have no wisdom, so you can only be the lowest level of the dark forest, and then wait for misfortune to befall you....." Uddy paused for a moment.
And the kobolds who were so counted by the real dragon did not have the slightest intention of refutation, but nodded and wagged their tails.
Even the pores all over the body seem to be saying, 'Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.' ’。
Udi grinned, feeling like she was talking to a pile of stinking shit.
Some of the words I originally wanted to say were directly stillborn, but turned into rough and direct language,
"Alright, you reptiles, if you want to gain as much power as Shiki, then work hard for me!
Ben Long doesn't want to take a bunch of useless waste as minions! ”
Udi fell heavily from mid-air to the ground, the dragon body weighing more than ten tons shook the ground, and the kobolds who were very close to each other, their legs were weak, their expressions were frightened and excited, after this move, they felt more clearly and profoundly the strong physical strength of the true dragon master they were loyal to.
Worship Goes Up! Obedience rises!
After feeding a group of weak chickens a simple lecture to feed the flatbread, Udi lowered his head and looked at Shiji, and said slowly,
"From now on, my lair will be in that waterhole on the inner side of the valley, and you can come to me if you have any urgent business."
"Yes." Shi Ji replied respectfully.
After leaving these words, Udi flapped his wings and left the Black Blood Tribe.
Behind him, below, Shiki looked at the departing dragon shadow with a determined expression.
In this way, Udi made his home on the western border of the Dark Forest, which Shiki named the 'Black Blood Valley'.
.....
"It's finally done."
Udi looked at the curvilinear hole she had dug under the waterhole, and couldn't help but grin, quite satisfied.
Seven meters high and with an area of more than 500 square meters, the humble underwater dragon's nest has been successfully developed.
It took Udi five days.
If it is a ground dragon nest, it can still be excavated and built by the kobolds of the black blood tribe, but it is dozens of meters deep underwater.... Weak kobolds don't have that ability.
So he had to work hard as the master to dig and build the dragon's nest himself.
When the dragon's nest was first built, it can be said that there was nothing.
Shi Ji contributed more than a dozen old silver coins, these old silver coins were found in some beasts and monster lairs after hunting for most of the year, and they were probably the last traces left by some mercenaries or hunters who came to the dark forest to beg for a living.
Because there were too few silver coins, and Udi wanted to try it, he was bored directly.
After trying it, I found that the taste was okay, but the amount was too small, and it was not much benefit to Udi's dragon body, and the improvement was extremely weak, basically negligible.
According to Udi's speculation, if there are tens of thousands of silver coins as ingredients after the feast is opened, it may bring him a lot of improvement.
It's a pity that tens of thousands of silver coins ..... I'm afraid that the only way to get it quickly is to rob human cities.
"Forget it, simple is simple, only the strength of one's own strength is the most fundamental." Udi didn't care much about the luxury of his dragon's nest.
At least, he's still weak now, and he doesn't care very much.
Whether it's the current identity of the evil dragon or the identity of the human in the past, Udi loves wealth.
But he will not be like those evil dragons who are influenced by nature, hoarding a lot of treasure and not using it to improve his own strength.
This seems a bit silly to Udi.
Of course, this is just the concept of a dragon.
There is another reason why dragons are hoarding treasures. That is, being in the 'treasure' can accelerate the growth rate of the dragon's body.
The term "treasure" here refers to treasures with magical elements, such as magic metals, magic crystals, magic gems, and magic equipment.
A large number of pure, magical treasures will attract and gather elemental power within a certain range of the surrounding area, and the enrichment of elemental power will accelerate the growth of the dragon's body.
Therefore, treasure is more than just ornamental and collectible for dragons.
Udi also understands this, but if he looks at it in his own way, sacrificing treasure to increase his strength when he is weak, so as to move away from danger more quickly, is more in line with his concept of growth.
When the strength is unmatched, isn't it easy to accumulate treasure?
Do you need to be careful about the benefits of accumulating a lot of treasure that can accelerate the growth of the dragon body?
Because of this concept, for a long time after that, the treasures of Udi's dragon's nest were empty.
It's not like a dragon!
Half a month after settling in, Udi adapted to the new environment around him.
He began to prepare enough ingredients for the next feast that was about to begin.
This time, without the offerings of the three tribes including the troll leader Gray, Udi could only rely on his own dragon to accumulate ingredients.
As for the Black Blood Tribe?
The strength is too weak, and without Shiki, hunting some powerful beasts will have to kill a lot of kobolds.
Therefore, Udi did not plan to involve them in the hunt for the time being, but to let them dig for ore veins.
Although the kobold's combat power is weak, they are good at prospecting and mining.
The kobolds of the Black Blood Tribe discovered the existence of an iron ore in the valley a month ago.
It's just that mining is inconvenient, and the tribe is just starting to build, and there is not enough manpower, so it has been put aside.
However, after Udi came to settle here, the mining of iron ore was put on the agenda.
At the next feast, it is estimated that iron ore will be able to be used as an ingredient for the feast.

Anyway, thank you all ~ I will try my best to write a good article and give feedback to you.
