Dong Jiayue was fortunate.
Her territory was situated near a mountain range.
The nearby timber and stone resources were abundant, so she had no worries about mining.
In reality, Dong Jiayue’s grandfather owned a martial arts studio and she had learned some martial arts with him since childhood.
Therefore, on the second day of crossing into this world, she left her territory and began exploring her surroundings.
She found an ancient tomb in a valley.
Soon, she discovered some blueprints and Shadowstones from the tomb.
She kept the blueprints for the development of her territory, and sold the Shadowstones to Fang Hao to acquire resources.
Among the Lords who came over with her, she was progressing quite well.
But today, while leading militiamen to explore the second layer of the ancient tomb, many undead creatures suddenly appeared.
Not only did two militiamen die, she was also injured.
She had no choice but to retreat to her territory and reconsider her strategies.
The ancient tomb was the basis of her lead, and despite the danger, she had to continue exploring it.
After much thought, she decided to come to Fang Hao, hoping to advance some weapons and equipment.
Dong Jiayue was not aware that Fang Hao had iron weapons. She just thought that iron axes would be more lethal than stone ones, and wanted to advance some iron axes.
“You want to advance some iron axes for fighting?” Fang Hao asked in surprise.
“Ah, is that alright?” Dong Jiayue was somewhat uncertain because every resource now was extremely important, affecting one’s own development and survival.
She hurriedly added, “Let’s consider it as an advance reward for the Shadowstones, okay?”
Fang Hao asked again, “What are the types of soldiers you have? What weapons and equipment are they using?”
He was not familiar with the information about human soldiers.
“Just ordinary militiamen, there aren’t any special troops yet,” Dong Jiayue replied.
She thought that Fang Hao would know about the militiamen.
After all, everyone was a cross-world traveler from Earth and belonged to the human camp. They naturally knew about the soldiers recruited by humans.
“How many people do you have?”

“Three.”
Previously, she had several tier 1 militiamen. Two of them died in the previous battle, leaving only three. Including her, there were four.
Fang Hao didn’t hesitate much.
He replied, “I can provide you with weapons and equipment. Whenever you find valuable items during your exploration, prioritize trading them with me.”
“Great, thank you, Brother Hao. Thank you for your trust,” Jia Yue quickly expressed her gratitude.
This was not just a trade, but also showed Fang Hao’s trust in her.
This kind of trust was especially precious in a place like this.
“Okay, list a unit of wood or something so that I can trade the items to you,” Fang Hao said.
The system only allowed trading, not gifting.
However, there were many workarounds.
Listing a rock from the ground to be exchanged for gold was allowed.
“Okay.”
Soon, Dong Jiayue listed a unit of wood in the designated trade.
Fang Hao gave her four single-edged knives and four wooden shields.
When Dong Jiayue saw that she had actually received real weapons instead of iron axes, she was amazed.
Just how far had Fang Hao’s territory developed?
On just the third day, he had already acquired real weapons.
If he was able to give those weapons to her, that implied that such equipment was not scarce in his place.
At this moment, Dong Jiayue’s impression of Fang Hao was even more profound and unfathomable.
She immediately sent another message to Fang Hao to express her gratitude, “Thank you, Brother Hao.”
“Okay, be careful. Survival gives hope,” Fang Hao advised.
Shadowstone, it was a necessary material to upgrade an undead building.
At present, only Dong Jiayue could obtain it.
Thus, she must be supported to continue exploring the tomb.
Of course, after several transactions, although they hadn’t become friends, Fang Hao had a pretty good impression of Dong Jiayue.
He didn’t want her to face any danger.
…
After the transaction was over, both of them started getting busy again.
Fang Hao brought up the “Production” page and started producing weapons and shields for over ten thousand skeleton soldiers.
[Iron Sword: Wood 3, Iron 3, Leather 1.]
When he wiped out the Gnoll camp, he had gained 47 units of iron. And through selling iron axes over the past couple of days, he had earned more than 300 units of iron.
It may not be much, but with the hundred-fold amplification, there’s enough to equip this team.
Make them!
[Hundred-fold amplification triggered, you have obtained 13130 Iron Swords.]
[Hundred-fold amplification triggered, you have obtained 13130 Wooden Shields.]
[Hundred-fold amplification triggered, you have obtained 13130 Simple Leather Armors.]
[Hundred-fold amplification triggered, you have obtained 14140 Leather Helmets.]
…
“Alright, everyone pick up your weapons and equipment.” Fang Hao shouted loudly.
All the skeleton soldiers he had recruited stepped forward, picked up the weapons and equipment that had been made, and put them on.
“You don’t go.” Fang Hao casually grabbed a skeleton soldier who was about to leave.
He was using the [God’s Presence] Skill directly.
Everything went black before his eyes.
The body of Fang Hao, sitting on the stone steps, instantly fell backward.
And the dumbfounded skeleton soldier standing nearby, in his hollow pupils, suddenly flamed two ghastly blue ghost fires.
Similar to the skeleton merchant who just left.
[God’s Presence on target, Skeleton Soldier, Compatibility 72 %.]
Fang Hao’s consciousness transferred to the skeleton, surprised, he looked at the skeletal limbs, then looked at his own body beside.
“You two, carry me into the room, place me on the bed.” The skeleton’s voice sounded dry and hoarse.
It sounded very eerie.
Two skeletons picked up the body of Fang Hao and headed toward the lord’s wooden house.
Thud!
The skeleton used its skull to hit open the wooden door before they dumped him on the bed.
Seeing this.
Fang Hao was so angry he kicked the two skeletons on their backsides with his bone leg.
“You two are trying to kill me.”
Both kicked skeletons staggered, still standing there in a daze.
Next, Fang Hao assigned work.
Some to patrol, some to help the workers gather resources.
He, however, selected about 2000 skeleton soldiers for exploration of the surrounding territories.
The Book of Lords had added a new page [Map].
Any places that had been explored would automatically record the terrain and topography.
Places which had been explored before would need to be re-explored to have the map record them.
“Follow me!”
Calling out to the 2000 skeleton soldiers behind him, they headed out of the village.
The territory was still under protection, the protection shield could ensure his safety.
Adventuring while possessing the skeleton seemed like a sure win.
…
Meanwhile.
Gnoll camp.
A Gnoll with a saber slung about his waist had a gloomy face, full of rage.
He sat on a large stone waiting for the news from the scouts.
He had led a team to the Orc Bazaar for trading, but upon return, found his den had been wiped out.
All resources and items had been moved out.
Not even a chair was left behind. Fuming with anger, he had no choice but to order someone to fetch a stone for him to sit on while waiting for news.
“Leader, there’s news.” A few Gnolls ran over hastily, shouting loudly.
Despite not being very intelligent, Gnolls still belonged to the intelligent races.
Occasionally, one or two Gnoll priests would appear, their intelligence not inferior to humans.
“Speak.” The Leader ordered wrathfully.
“We followed the cart tracks and found an undead village. There are lots of undead there.”
“How many?”
“From what I saw, at least several thousand.”
Hearing this number, the leader’s face turned even grimmer. The enemy’s numbers were too great, they were not something they could withstand.
“Contact the Fireblade Tribe, tell them we’ve found a wealthy village and invite them to loot together.”
