Chapter 120: Chapter 120, Stone Element_l

Bolton led the team into the mountains.
The cracks in the mountains were like gusts of wind, whistling, surrounded by
stone walls, with no grass or trees to be seen.
As they got closer to their destination, the road became more rugged.
Just when they were about to arrive at their destination.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and rocks rolled down from the mountainsides.
Then, they heard hurried footsteps coming from straight ahead.
They looked up abruptly.
They saw several monsters made of rocks running down the sloping
mountainside, charging towards the team.
[Stone Element (Level 6)]
The Stone Element is a humanoid species, composed of rocks, with stony limbs
and a head. They towered over 3 meters tall, and their run echoed like an earthquake.
“Roar…”
The leading Stone Element roared, throwing a rock from its hand.
Whoosh!
The rock, like a cannonball, whistled towards the team.
Following this, the rest of the Stone Elements also began to fling rocks from their hands, attacking the Undead Legion.
“Raise your shields,” Fang Hao roared.
The skeleton soldiers raised their shields.
The next second, there was a flurry of heavy impact sounds.
Bang, bang, bang!!
Rocks rained down like a storm, even though the shields were coated with a
layer of iron.
Facing such an attack, the shields began to twist and deform.
After the first round of tossing, the Stone Elements had rushed down the slope
and were charging towards Fang Hao and his comrades.
At this point, Fang Hao had no other way to deal with this, other than fight.
“Kill them.”
Roar!
The Undead Legion, like a swarm of bees, rushed towards the charging Stone
Elements to attack.
With a swift run, the towering Skeleton Ogre gradually moved to the front.
Boom, boom, boom!!
The Skeleton Ogre collided with a Stone Element of a similar size instantly, creating a deafening noise.
Its ax swung down hard, landing directly on the Stone Element’s head.
Steel hitting rock, created a shrill, cutting noise.
The Stone Element’s head was instantly chopped off a piece, but it did not hinder the Stone Element from counterattacking.
The fist of stone slammed into the Skeleton Ogre’s body, making a heavy thud.
The surrounding skeleton soldiers also instantly surrounded the Stone
Element, launching a concentrated attack.
Iron hitting rocky skin, sparks appeared from time to time.
Anjia, on the other hand, calmly put on her Tiger’s Claw.
After a glance at Fang Hao, she took a step and charged towards the Stone Elements.
Upon reaching the closest Stone Element, she leapt and threw a powerful punch.
Boom!!
With a muffled sound, Anjia’s punch directly landed on the Stone Element s
head.
The invincible stone, under this punch, was fragile like porcelain, instantly shattered into pieces.
Anjia landed, but did not pause her foot for a moment.
She charged towards the next Stone Element, starting her own hunting session.
Whether it was the vast number of Undead or Anjia selecting targets at random and attacking,
Stone Elements were killed one after another, leaving the ground littered with fragments of rock.
Boom!
Soon, under Anjia’s leadership, all the Stone Elements were killed.
Some rare materials were dropped.
“Clear the battlefield, collect the spoils, and search for treasure chests,” Fang
Hao loudly ordered.
The Skeleton Warriors immediately dispersed and started collecting the items around.
“Bolton, are you alright?”
When Fang Hao looked at Bolton, his face suddenly changed.
Bolton’s entire head was dyed red with blood, looking somewhat chilling with his blood-red pig’s head.
“It’s nothing, sir, just some scratches,” Bolton said, wiping away the blood that was obstructing his vision.
At the start of the battle, although the stones were thrown in his direction, they didn’t hit him.
However, shards from the shattered stone grazed his forehead and pierced his
ears.
Blood flowed freely, staining half of his face red.
After a quick bandaging, the bleeding was stopped.
“There is a healing spring in the territory. You can fetch some of its water later, it will help you recover.” Fang Hao said.
The Rejuvenation Spring has healing properties.
No one in the territory was injured, so its healing effect was never verified.
However, it was still popular in the chat channel, proving that the Rejuvenation Spring is really effective.
“It’s nothing, my lord. I’ve endured worse injuries before, as long as it’s bandaged, I’ll be fine,” Bolton said carelessly.
While Bolton dismissed it with his words, he silently cursed his bad luck.
Previously, when the pigmen were exploring on their own, they never encountered this group of Stone Elements.
Maybe it was because the activity of tens of thousands of people marching was
too loud, which somehow drew out this group of Stone Elements.
“When you get back, ask someone to fetch some spring water to prevent infection,” Fang Hao said, then turned to Anjia, “Are you alright, Anjia?” “Cut it out! This little scrape hurt me? You have to be kidding.” Anjia sneered. Fang Hao’s concern seemed to be a sign of distrust in her abilities.
“Glad to hear you’re okay.”
Soon, the spoils from the battle were collected.
[Obtained: Natural Geml2, Trace of the Earthl6, Battle Trace8, Essence of
Magics.]
It seemed that the Spiritual Species wouldn’t drop a Wriggling Spine.
After several experiences with battles against Spiritual Species, after killing
them, they would only drop some related rare materials.
After waiting for five minutes, a chest was brought to Fang Hao by a skeleton.
A silver chest.
Without any hesitation, Fang Hao opened it immediately.
[Obtained: Basement blueprint, Stonecutting blueprint, Trace of Earths, Warfire Coin22.]
The rewards were average, but the two blueprints were exactly what Fang Hao was missing.
[Basement (Green): Woodl200, Stonel5oo, Hemp Rope6oo, Metal ComponentsSO.]
[Ability: Constant Temperature]
[Constant Temperature]: Can keep a stable temperature in the room.
(Description: You can use it as storage or secret chambers, treasure rooms, etc.)
The basement was not bad.
It was perfect for housing the barrels of liquor in the territory and freeing up a room.
[Stone Slab: Stones.]
(Description: Made from crude stone, it can be used for paving roads.)
After safely storing the blueprints and materials, the team continued their journey.
Half an hour later,
Everyone finally arrived near their destination; only one hill separated them from the Tomb of the Dragon.
“My lord, the location on the map is right behind this mountain. There’s a tunnel entrance up ahead, it should lead to the Tomb of the Dragon,” Bolton continued to lead the way.
The pigmen stopped their exploration at this point.
Since they had completed their task, they saw no need to venture further in.
Fang Hao nodded in understanding.
Everyone followed Bolton onward, arriving at the location of the entrance he’d described.
The mouth of the cave was quite large, with an estimated height and width of around five to six meters.
The edges of the cave mouth were fortified with stone bricks, and there were ruins of buildings and wreckage on both sides of the ground.
The area had merged with the surrounding environment over the centuries, becoming one with the mountains.
It was clear; this was a man-made construction.
“Alright, let’s go in. Bolton, stay at the back. If there’s any danger, retreat.
Fang Hao instructed.
Bolton’s combat power was weak, his primary role was as a guide. The main force was still the skeleton army and Anjia, the hero.
“Yes, my lord.” Bolton replied.
The team entered the tunnel; switching from daylight to dim light. They pulled out Nightstones from their backpacks, which emitted a faint glow to provide illumination.
As they proceeded a few steps, the Soul Fire in Fang Hao’s eye sockets suddenly trembled.
Taking advantage of the light from the Nightstones,
They noticed there were gray-white crystals on both sides of the cave.
Fang Hao was too familiar with these crystals.
Shadowstones..
