Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After instructing Karu, Richard placed the food and water that he had prepared beforehand into the system space.

At the same time, he opened the system map and looked at it carefully.

“Today, I’ll scan the map with the logging field in the west as the starting point. For the next few days, I’ll explore in a clockwise direction.”

After making a decision, Richard left the territory with 14 mummies.

Although it was only the second time he had walked in the desert, Richard had practically adapted to it the day before, and his face was much calmer.

It was lonely, vast, and majestic. The desert was always so magnificent, and it made people feel heroic.

It was still early, and the yellow sand had not been burned by the sun.

With a goal and direction, the group of people moved quickly.

Soon, they passed by the logging field, where the long-armed laborers were already working hard.

Richard did not stop and continued to explore.

However, less than five minutes after leaving the logging field, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound.

Richard turned his head and saw a few yellow and black desert bees passing by him.

“There are bees in the desert?”

He looked a little surprised.

However, the desert bees were very fast and flew away in the blink of an eye. He did not have the chance to find out.

Shaking his head, Richard did not hesitate and continued to move forward.

However, after walking for less than ten minutes, the mummy that was leading the way suddenly stopped and retreated.

It waved its hand to signal to go back.

Nothing was blocking its line of sight in the desert. Richard immediately noticed something strange.

After making sure that no enemies were attacking, he stepped forward to check the details.

Richard came to the side of the mummy that was warning him. Under its signal, he climbed up a small sand dune that was about ten meters tall in front of him.

Richard lowered his body and looked forward.

On the sand dune a hundred meters away, three squads of soldiers from the wild appeared in front of him.

These humanoid creatures had rock-like muscles all over their bodies. They were bulging out one by one and were particularly eye-catching.

Even a bodybuilder would be ashamed to death in front of these creatures.

Their bodies were two meters tall, and their every move was filled with a terrifying sense of power.

Their backs were slightly bent, and three rows of dagger-like spikes grew on their backs, making them look ferocious and terrifying.

What was even more surprising was that these strange creatures were surrounded by groups of desert bees flying around them.

The desert bees that he saw earlier had surely come from this place.

[Nak Trolls]

[Level: 4]

[Potential: Elite 3-star]

[Skills: Hard Body (D-rank) — Body as hard as a rock, able to ignore the bite of ordinary beasts.]

[All-Out Heavy Strike (E-rank) — The next attack after charging up will release 200% of its strength.]

[Rock Body (E-rank)– It will not die unless its head is chopped off.]

[Race Talent: Possesses exceptionally strong defense, ordinary weapons are unable to pierce through it.]

[Fetters: The nak trolls feed on honey, raising more than three lairs of desert bees, automatically earning 10 experience points every day.]

[When it raises more than five lairs of desert bees, it automatically receives 20 experience points every day.]

[When it raises more than 10 lairs of desert bees, desert bees will give birth to desert bees and produce golden honey, which can increase the potential of the nak troll.]

[Description: They love to eat honey! La La La~]

Richard’s eyes widened.

“Good heavens, there are such strange species in the desert?”

“They looked so ferocious, and they truly eat honey. And in this vast desert, where would those desert bees go to gather honey?”

“The world is so big. There are indeed all kinds of strange things.”

Looking at the shackle of the nak trolls, Richard suddenly became interested.

“Eating honey can give experience. No wonder these trolls are level 4...”

“I wonder if these desert bees can be moved away?”

Thinking of the sweetness of the honey, Richard was tempted.

Although it felt strange to raise bees in the desert, Richard could even raise wild monsters, so why couldn’t he.

He refused to give up.

But the problem was that the enemy had a total of three squads.

One squad had 10 people, one squadron had 10 squads, and one legion had 10 squadrons.

This was the basic unit structure of the game “Shining Era”. It was a 10-point system, and it was easy to remember.

Richard was facing such a large number of soldiers with potential as high as an Elite 3-star, and they were still a type of soldiers that specialized in defense.

He felt that it was somewhat troublesome.

Although the mummies were strong, their defenses were still a problem whether or not they could break through.

“The strength in my hands is still too weak. After accumulating some resources, I will need to build a second troop’s lair.”

While his thoughts were a mess, Richard took another look at the mummy’s attributes.

[Corpse Bandage — (E-rank). Reduces physical damage by 30%. The bandage carries plague. The infected person will enter a weakened state, and all stats will be reduced by 20%. If not treated, they will gradually die.]

‘If not treated, they will gradually die…’

After muttering softly, Richard’s eyes gradually lit up.

“The opponent’s defense is amazing. I’m afraid that using normal methods will not be effective. Although the Sand Transformation skill is strong, it can only last for five minutes.”

“If we attack vigorously…then if we can’t finish the battle within five minutes, we might suffer a strong counterattack from the opponent. At that time, the situation will be out of control.”

“Why don’t we try this passive...”

“A group of troops in the desert. Do they have the ability to dispel the mummy’s curse?”

“The other party’s strong defense is just physical. There’s no magic resistance at all in their attributes...”

Thinking of this, Richard made up his mind. He had always been a man of action. He would do whatever he said.

Not to mention the honey that made his heart itch, it was worth a try if Richard could gain a lot of experience from hunting the nak trolls.

He might even be able to find some treasures inside.

Richard led the mummies around the sand dune and slowly approached the nak trolls from the downwind.

When the distance was right…

Richard let the mummies directly turn into sand.

Fourteen mummies merged into the desert and left no trace.

A moment later, the nak trolls, who were lazily sunbathing in the bushes, suddenly heard a rustling sound.

However, these wild nak trolls, who ate honey, were much lesser vigilant than the desert wolves.

It was not until the mummies’ bodies crawled up from the ground and even passed through their bodies that these ferocious-looking monsters woke up and roared as they counter-attacked.

The nak trolls used their sandbag-sized fists to ruthlessly hit the mummies’ bodies.

‘Whoosh!’

After accumulating strength, their fists even produced a sonic boom.

However, no matter how terrifying the attacks were, they hit the mummies’ bodies as if they were hitting the sand.

They could only feel a slight obstruction before they passed through the mummies’ bodies.

Instead, as they came into direct contact with the mummies, their rock-like skin started to turn blue.

Their powerful aura suddenly decreased by a large margin.

The mummies’ curse took effect.

But the weaker their body, the crazier the nak trolls became.

Three teams of nak trolls swarmed forward, surrounding the 14 mummies and launching a storm-like attack.

The mummies also retaliated mercilessly.

They could easily tear apart the desert wolf’s body and attack the nak trolls with their sharp claws. But they could only leave white scratches on the nak trolls’ bodies.

They could not break through the defense.

The nak trolls with all their attributes and defense were much more difficult to deal with than the desert wolves.

After a full two minutes, the mummies confirmed that all the nak trolls were infected with the curse. Then, their bodies quickly merged into the sand under the roars of the opponents.

The mummies disappeared without a trace.

No matter how much the nak trolls roared and raged, they could not stop the mummies after they turned into sand.

After the mummies left, the nak trolls furiously punched the ground with their fists.

Huge pits were created.

Yellow sand splashed in the air.

The desert bees in the air felt the nak trolls and also buzzed.

After the mummies crawled out of the yellow sand, Richard immediately took them away from this area.

They came to a sand dune hundreds of meters away and carefully observed the movements of the nak trolls.

The nak trolls furiously stirred up the sand. After venting their anger, they gradually regained their calm when they saw that the enemies had not appeared for a long time.

However, the faint blue aura on their bodies did not disappear.

Instead, it gradually showed signs of deepening.

But the nak trolls’ bodies were too strong.

There were no obvious changes for a while.

After observing for a long time, a smile appeared on Richard’s face.

The plan was successful!

As expected, these nak trolls did not have any means to dispel the undead curse. Now, it was enough to wait for the curse to devour them.

However, with the physique of the nak trolls, it would not work for a few hours. There was no need to waste time.

After making sure that there were no casualties, Richard continued to explore the west with the bandaged mummies.

He was quite looking forward to what they would encounter next...
