Meanwhile.

The Coldwind Mountain Range.

After Fang Hao annihilated an army of 300,000, the entire Coldwind Mountain Range was in a state of high tension.

Tribes near the edges of the mountain range were in constant fear, fearing that the undead army would ruthlessly slaughter them as the first victims.

The Skullcrusher Tribe’s Chieftain’s Hall.

Sitting in his chair with a sullen face, Skullcrusher Shah said, “That’s the situation, so I would like the Bloodthroat Tribe to join us in eliminating this potential threat.”

In the center of the hall sat a giant almost five meters tall, playing with two human skulls covered in residue.

This giant was from the troll, Bloodthroat Tribe.

[Meatfist – Kaius (Orange Tier 3 Hero)].

Once, the name of the Bloodthroat Tribe was known throughout the region, synonymous with cruelty and terror.

The former clan leader of the Bloodthroat Tribe was extremely bloodthirsty, with the Slaughter supreme-ruler as the tribe’s sole totem.

Any prisoners or slaves from any forces would be taken by him to the altar to be sacrificed to the great Slaughter supreme-ruler No matter who they were or what status they held, they were all his offerings.

But the trolls, no matter how strong they were, relied solely on their own bloodline and a trend of rapid rise.

When they managed to anger both elves and dragons at the same time, a war that spanned the entire region rang out.

The forces of the Dragon Clan and the Elf Clan, with overwhelming strength, crushed the Bloodthroat Tribe. Only a small number of trolls retreated into the resource-scarce mountains to barely survive and reproduce.

With the passing of centuries, the Bloodthroat Tribe slowly regained strength, and the present clan leader was still powerful, worshipping the Slaughter supreme-ruler

“Shah, you really are a waste, defeated by a force that has just started to develop?” The voice of Kaius was rough and sounded like a giant beast’s roar. In the orc hall, such a taunting insult to a great chief…

Caused Shah’s expression to darken, but the Skullcrusher Tribe indeed lacked the strength to defeat the undead and was facing various internal problems at the moment.

He had no choice but to bow his head to the troll standing before him.

He forced a small smile and said, “The Skullcrusher Tribe can’t compare to the Bloodthroat Tribe. If it were an ordinary opponent, I wouldn’t have turned to the Bloodthroat Tribe.”

Shah’s words contained some flattery, but it was quite effective for the trolls who usually believed in the supremacy of strength.

Upon the serious expression of Kaius, a slight smile surfaced. “You are right indeed. So, tell me, what can I gain by helping you?”

Shah’s heart leapt with joy.

This big guy was really quite simple-minded, and he was already somewhat persuaded with just a few words.

“Chief Kaius, we will split the spoils of war seven to three, with the Bloodthroat Tribe taking the larger share,” said Shah.

Kaius chuckled, “Hmph, do you see my Bloodthroat Tribe as free fighters?” “Then, Chief ‘Kaius’, how would you like to split?”, asked Shah with a frown. “Shah, if I did not help you, the undead would attack you within ten days. By then, forget about spoils of war, even the survival of Skullcrusher is uncertain,” said Kaius.

At this…

Shah’s expression darkened even more. Regardless of personal strength or the overall strength of the tribe…

He had to get the Bloodthroat Tribe’s help, as the Skullcrusher Tribe might really cease to exist otherwise.

“Chief Kaius, just say it directly, under what conditions would you be willing to deal with those undead?”

Turning his eyes, Kaius said directly, “All the spoils of war are mine. In addition, you must prepare 300,000 Warfire Coins as a reward for this operation. Don’t be in a hurry to refuse, Shah. I’m fully capable of wiping you out, then eliminating the undead.”

Such a direct provocation…

Immediately turned the atmosphere in the entire hall sincere.

A few orc warriors at the entrance were slowly inching their hands towards their weapons at their waist.

The moment Shah gave an order, they would launch an attack on the troll, no matter that he was a powerful hero.

Phew!

Shah took a deep breath, suppressing the rising anger in his heart and finally agreed.

“Okay, I agree with you, but it will take me some time to gather that money. I can only pay you after we have defeated the undead.”

“Fine, that’s settled then. Arrange for a scout to collect information and provide me with a copy. We can attack from two directions simultaneously. It wouldn’t be difficult to eliminate an undead force that has just gotten started,” said Kaius, standing up with a solemn tone.

His mighty body was like a small hill, and his armor made a loud noise as he moved.

“Okay, the scouts have already been dispatched. I’ll send the information over to you as soon as I receive it.”

“Hurry up your people. I’m really looking forward to crushing those bony guys,” Kaius rubbed the skull accessory in his hand.

“It will be soon.”

Without further ado, Kaius bent down and walked out of the orc hall.

After lunch, Fang Hao filled his empty stomach.

He glanced at the regional channel and found it unusually quiet today, without anyone speaking.

Fang Hao even suspected whether the trial task was too difficult and if all these people had failed the trial.

“Eira, have you heard of the Enlightening Potion?”

After the meal, Eira brought a plate of fruit.

“I’ve heard of it. It’s a potion often used by humans. Supposedly it allows ordinary people to become warriors too, but it’s rarely seen among beast clans,” Eira replied softly.

Beast clans excel in combat. They are naturally warriors.

Like the beast clans with demon bloodlines and minotaur clans, all are natural- born warriors. The weak are soon eliminated by the tribe.

Therefore, there is really no need for them to research these kinds of auxiliary potions.

Moreover, the price of a potion is not low itself, and they are hard to come by.

“Can you use it?” Fang Hao asked.

Fang Hao’s idea was simple. The Enlightening Potion could change a person’s constitution and, battle or no battle, it could make a person healthier.

Even though Fang Hao drank the Magic Potion himself, he was still able to clearly feel the changes happening to his body.

He became immune to insects, and his constitution was enhanced.

In the future, when he gets hold of potions, can he prepare some for Eira and others? It would enhance their physical strength and give them some self­defense capability.

“I don’t know, but it should work. I’ve heard of beastmen buying potions before,” Eira also picked up a fruit and gently took a bite.

“Hmm,” Fang Hao nodded, not saying much more.

Bang!

Just then, the door was pushed open forcefully, and Anjia walked in carrying a silver treasure chest.

She tossed it directly at Fang Hao’s feet and said, “Quick, open it and see what’s inside. Maybe there’s something good.”

Fang Hao looked at the chest on the ground then glanced at the dusty figure of Anjia.

I was wondering why I didn’t see Anjia at lunch. Turns out she was out adventuring again.

“Are there still monster strongholds within our territory?” Fang Hao asked with some disbelief.

With so many soldiers now and a wide patrol range, why would there still be monster strongholds?

“No, I rode a giant lizard out, I went far. There are three bear carcasses outside, you should butcher them too.” Anjia answered indifferently.

What an adventurer, she even had a giant lizard prepared for her expedition.

Without saying anything else, Fang Hao directly opened the chest.

[Obtained: Iron ax blueprint, Leather Necklace blueprint, Natural Gems X2, Warfire Coins X31.]

The iron ax blueprint was a duplication, he could sell it in the channel later.

Seeing the second blueprint, Fang Hao’s brows furrowed slightly.

[Leather necklace]

[Category: Necklace]

[Defense: Tier 1 defense]

(Description: Surely no one actually thinks this is a defense item?)

[Leather necklace: Leather xl, Metal parts xl, Yarn X2.]

Ah, this….

Are there really blueprints for such a thing?

“How is it? Anything good?” Anjia asked while eating a fruit.

“There is something, quite practical.” Fang Hao silently put the blueprint away.

“I knew my luck was good. I’ve never opened a chest that didn’t have something good.” Anjia boasted.

“Thank you, then, forbringing me such good luck.”

“Don’t mention it. Just work hard and don’t mess up our territory.” Anjia continued.

“Hey, watch your words!”

In the afternoon, Fang Hao began crafting the ‘Erlanha Guardian Set’, equipping the archers within his territory.

He later accepted an order in the Trade Alliance building, replenishing the needed supplies.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, it was already night time.

During dinner, Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords, and the number of people in the channel suddenly increased.

It seems that they only managed to complete their trial tasks by night.

“I was tasked with a Murloc, and it’s not small at all. Fish head with big bulging eyes, and it can even fight on land. I’m allergic to seafood, and though I won, I’m suffering an allergic reaction now.”

“My mission was an orc attack on a village. Even though they were all Tier 1 orcs, many people died. It was too brutal.”

“You’re both lucky, the leader of my team is a dumbass. He chose awards without any regard to others, choosing only what he could use. And he called himself the damn savior! Savior my ass.”

“That’s really unfortunate for you. What’s your name? Say it, so we all know to avoid you.”

“Indeed, I hate those types of people who take all the equipment rewards for themselves.”

“His name is Xie Yuan Fei. Remember him; don’t let him be the team leader, even if you are teamed up.”

“what the ...., why are you slandering me? You didn’t mention any of this when we met, but now you’re smearing my name from behind. Are you sick or what?””

As soon as the name was mentioned, the person called Xie Yuan Fei couldn’t sit still and came out swearing.

“You think I had a choice? You’re the team leader, who knows if we’ll return to your territory when it all ends. Who knows what you’d do, you don’t deserve to have teammates.”

“I also want to report someone. He hid during the fight and one of my teammates died. His name is…”

It seems that the transmigrators’ first collaboration wasn’t very successful.

Soon after, many people began to name and shame each other’s teammates.

There was a heated debate in the channel.

The next day.

Pruell City.

A sharp blade was pressed against Fang Hao’s throat.

He laid back, a bitter soap scent filling his nostrils. That razor was diligently scraping at the stubble on his chin.

The barber had the expression of a focused sculptor, carefully adjusting the beard and hairstyle of the well-dressed young man.

It took about 20 days being here to finally find a place where he could get a haircut.

And they even offered a free beard trimming service.

Though on his chin, only sparse stubble had grown.

“Is this your first time here, sir?” The barber casually asked while working.

“Yes, it’s my first time here.”

“Are you visiting relatives?”

Each city wasn’t really that large. Though not everyone knew each other, it was easy to spot outsiders.

Obviously, the young man’s appearance and attire revealed his status as an outsider.

“No, I live in a nearby city and thought I’d come over to do some business,” Fang Hao replied.

“Oh? Doing business here? What line are you planning to enter?” The barber asked with interest.

“Catering.”

The barber blinked in surprise, then quickly grasped the meaning of the word ‘catering’, saying, “You look like an educated person. The pubs in the city do a good business. Everyone likes to go there for a drink. But I worry it would be hard for you to succeed.”

“The shop I’ll be running is mainly for dining, selling alcohol comes second,” Fang Hao answered.

The barber didn’t continue his line of questioning, clearly showing he didn’t believe the business would succeed.

Seeing his silence, Fang Hao continued, “Is there a place here where I can buy orc slaves?”

“Huh?” The barber instinctively glanced at the orc girl patiently waiting for Fang Hao’s haircut to finish.

“They occasionally appear, but it’s been a while since the last time. Those orc slave merchants would bring some humanoid orcs and sell them to rich nobles at a high price.”

“So, you’re saying something like bunny girls are popular around here?”
