Chapter 859: Chapter 559: Lizardn_2
“`
(Note: The skeleton troops converted from corpses still retain the characteristics and attack thods they had in life.)
The Desert Vulture had a sizable body, with white bones for its fra, except for a layer of flesh mbrane wrapped around its wings.
This ensured its ability to fly.
Its talons and beak were incredibly sharp and served as its primary ans of attack.
Back then, the skeleton clerk said that the Desert Vulture was a Tier 6 troop type.
After conversion, it automatically fell one tier, becoming a Tier 5 troop type.
The skeleton clerk probably didn’t consider that Fang Hao was also part of the undead faction, so he quoted the tier from when it was alive.
Fang Hao bought this vulture mainly to fill the gap in his aerial forces.
For flying units, he currently had Skeleton Giant Bat (Tier 3), Skeleton Pseudo-Dragon Guard (Tier 6), and Bone Dragon (Tier 10).
However, both Skeleton Pseudo-Dragon and Bone Dragon required Dragon Crystals for recruitnt, so the only ones that could demonstrate their ability to increase a hundredfold in numbers were the Skeleton Giant Bats.
But having been used until now, Tier 3 was a bit too low.
So when he saw that the vulture bones were for sale, he bought them imdiately for conversion.
After inspecting the vulture, Fang Hao moved on to the Giant Hook Poisonous Scorpion.
The scorpion, with a body length close to that of a horse, was quite intimidating, especially the hook that hung above its body.
Undead Giant Hook Poisonous Scorpion (Tier 7)
Faction: Undead
Racial traits: Undead, hollow skeleton, weak to light magic.
Skills: Pincer attack, Stinger, Poison, Burrow.
Innate abilities: Advanced Crawling Mastery, Advanced Hunting Mastery.
(Note: The skeleton troops converted from corpses still retain the characteristics and attack thods they had in life.)
Giant Hook Poisonous Scorpion wasn’t just any skeleton, but similar to the previously transford Undead Centipede.
Its appearance was more like that of an arthropod insect without flesh, possessing a withered yet hard animal carapace.
The entire body was pitch-black and reflective, quite close to the shape of a living scorpion.
“Show the burrow ability,” Fang Hao ordered.
The Undead Giant Hook Poisonous Scorpion moved its scorpion legs briskly, scuttling to an open area nearby.
Then it pressed its body to the ground, shaking violently.
Soil from the ground began to be pushed aside.
The scorpion’s body started to burrow down swiftly.
Its pincers then smoothed the soil above its head.
Well…
Fang Hao watched from the side, stroking his chin.
How should I put this?
It certainly did bury itself, but the process was slow, and the burial site was obviously marked.
Unless soone else was around to tidy up the top layer of soil.
If that’s the case, Fang Hao might as well bury other troops instead, achieving the sa effect!
After all, the undead don’t need to breathe, so being buried won’t lead to suffocation or death.
This ability wasn’t very useful.
“Co on out!”
With a rustling sound, the Giant Hook Poisonous Scorpion crawled out.
“Fill in the hole.”
The scorpion began to fill the pit again.
Continuing the inspection, he finally examined the Pilgrim.
Skeleton Pilgrim (Tier 4)
Racial traits: Undead, hollow skeleton, weak to light magic, hostile faith.
Skills: Faith, Hamr strike.
Innate abilities: Interdiate Blunt Weapon Mastery.
Hostile Faith: This unit is unstable, with a 30% chance of death.
Faith (Active): Ability activation increases all attributes by 15%.
Hamr Strike (Active): Adds 10% damage.
(Note: The skeleton troops converted from corpses still retain the characteristics and attack thods they had in life.)
Dammit, I’ve been had.
Going by the skeleton clerk’s description, the Faith ability could boost all attributes.
That skill sounded pretty good.
Increased attributes ant a higher survival rate on the battlefield, bolstering the overall strength of a zerg strategy.
The Pilgrim was a church’s troop type in life, which he had guessed.
But what he had never expected was the attribute “Hostile Faith.”
A 30% instability leading directly to death.
One third, damn it, that’s harsh.
For several thousand Warfire Coins, all you sold was this thing, what a rip-off.
“`
Whether it was the 30% death rate during recruitnt or suddenly losing 30% of the people on the battlefield, both resulted in severe losses, even affecting the direction of the battle.
It could be said that this money was utterly wasted, and Fang Hao did not plan on using it in the future.
“Stand by outside the city.”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
Three skeletons, one flying, one crawling, one walking.
They quickly vanished from sight.
Fang Hao went back to the Skeleton Conversion Field to check the recruitnt conditions for the three skeletons.
Skeleton Vulture: Wriggling Spine 5, Death Trace 3.
Skeleton Pilgrim: Wriggling Spine 4, Soul Crystal 1, Death Trace 2.
Undead Giant Hook Poisonous Scorpion: Wriggling Spine 7, Death Trace 7, Star Silver 2.
The Skeleton Pilgrim belonged to the human faction, hence it consud Soul Crystals.
But for the Skeleton Vulture and the Undead Giant Hook Poisonous Scorpion, no faction-specific materials appeared in the recruitnt conditions.
This should an that they fell under the category of beasts.
However, the absence of faction-specific materials had been compensated with Death Trace.
The normal recruitnt conditions for a tier 5 troop were ‘Wriggling Spine 5, exclusive material 1, Death Trace 2.’
Now, for the Skeleton Vulture, the Death Trace had directly reached 3 units.
The sa was true for the Undead Giant Hook Poisonous Scorpion, where the exclusive material was included in Death Trace.
This was not a bad deal at all.
“Go and test their combat abilities.”
Fang Hao also headed towards the outskirts of the city, intending to see the combat power of the Skeleton Vulture and the Giant Hook Poisonous Scorpion.
As for the Pilgrim, well!
Forget it, it’s not needed.
…
anwhile.
In a transmigrator’s territory to the southwest.
Tian Zhiyong walked out of the Teleportation Array with two subordinates.
Looking at the three Warfire Cards with a denomination of a thousand in his hand, a satisfied smile spread across his face.
“Lord.
Tian Zhiyong nodded, then imdiately asked, “Those Lizardn?”
The soldier answered in a low voice, “They’re still outside the north of the city, no movent.”
Tian Zhiyong nodded, gestured, and swiftly walked with several people towards the north city gate.
Passing by rows of buildings, they exited the north city gate.
After covering so distance, they spotted a Lizardn encampnt stationed ahead.
Lizardn wearing armor and wielding weapons were patrolling normally, and four-legged Giant Lizards laden with goods were resting on the ground.
Tian Zhiyong licked his lips and flashed a smile.
He strode forward and said, “I would like to see the Priest.”
“One mont,” said the Lizardman before entering a nearby tent.
Shortly after, the Lizardn soldier ca out again, “Human, the Priest invites you in.”
Tian Zhiyong nodded, removed his weapon from his waist, placed it aside, and bent down to enter the central tent.
Inside the tent sat a Lizardman wearing a robe.
The robe was embroidered with green and gold patterns, which, along with the Lizardman’s natural blue scales, looked quite resplendent.
Ancient Saint Priest – Tiktata (Purple Tier 3 Hero).
A hero unit of the Lizardn.
It was this Ancient Saint Priest who, while passing by, arranged for the Lizardn to co and negotiate.
That prevented an incident similar to the last one.
“Priest Tiktata,” Tian Zhiyong seated himself cross-legged to the side.
Tiktata, like an old monk, opened his eyes to reveal brown vertical pupils.
“Mr. Tian Zhiyong.”
Transmigrators could recognize the language of any race, but what Tiktata was speaking was the common language of the human Federation.
And he spoke it very standardly.
Tian Zhiyong forthrightly said, “Priest Tiktata, after considering overnight, I have decided to join the Holy Dynasty and beco one of its mbers.”
Lizardn was the external appellation.
They referred to themselves as the children of the Ancient Saints, the descendants of the gods.
Even though the Lizardn had gradually retreated from the main stage, the term Holy Dynasty still expressed respect for the Lizardn.
“Mr. Tian Zhiyong, you must think carefully. After joining, although it will not affect you personally, you will no longer be considered a human and will be managed by us,” Tiktata continued.
Tian Zhiyong nodded, “Yes, I have made my choice.”
He had already decided yesterday; it was just that he hadn’t amassed the required Warfire Coins.
“Good, this is yours now.”
A scroll was pushed towards Tian Zhiyong.
