Chapter 16: The Swamp Region
" Well master, I was only telling her how magnanimous you were regarding the fact that you were willing to accept more of our kind to share the burden."
" She was joyful when she learned you would allow her to recruit more fox demons to help you build your army." Ming Yao said with an awkward expression, avoiding Su Pings direct gaze.
She expected Su Ping to be displeased or show some hints of contempt or displeasure, she braced herself for the off chance that he would get angry and force the both of them to take responsibility and build him his army but Su Pings expression didn't change in the least. But he did quickly devour the male fox's corpse before raising his head and answering her.
" Well that's good. Come now, let's hurry up, remember we still have more territory's to take over."
The three of them quickly arrived at the other fox demon territory. Su Ping felt as if he'd encountered a case of deja Vu when the same situation replayed itself.
In the end, he also killed and devoured another male fox demon corpse before recruiting the female fox demon who was yellow in colour. He decided to name her Yang Lan.
When it came to dealing with the imp demons, Su Ping came to discover that they were a small, red and wild bunch but had terrible tempers.
Each were about 1.5 meters tall with red skin, arrow tipped tail, claws, red eyes with black sclera, fanged mouth, and two small horns growing out of their foreheads.
Several imps lunged at Su Ping, but Ning An, Ming Yao and Yang Lan used their Fox illusion skills to stop them in their tracks before taking them by surprise.
The difference between Lvl 1 common units and Lvl 1 Elite units were easily shown.
Su Ping felt good not having to do anything, all he did was watch as the fox demon trio helped him take down half the imp demons, by the time they were done, the remaining 10 submitted to him without complaints.
And he feed himself on the meat of those who resisted, the site of their former brethren being devoured made the submitted Imp demons more frightened by their new master.
' Acquire territory '
Su Ping accepted and watched as they were all baptized, at the same time.
[Congratulations on increasing your territory]
[Acquired F class skill card]
' Well that's new?' said Su Ping in his mind.
Su Ping opened the system to view the new item.
• F class Skill Card: Synergy (Increase damages of forces by 10% when working together.)
[Skill cards allow you to bestow your forces with skills, the skills can also be applied to oneself]
Su Ping was satisfied with the explanation. At least he now knew two types of items that could drop as rewards, skill cards and structure cards.
' Mentioning Structure cards, Let's see what that structure card I got before was anyway.'
• Lvl 1 Structure Card: Lvl 1 HardHat building.
(A "HardHat Haven": step inside, and you're instantly geared up with a toolbelt and a knack for building Lvl 1 structures.)
(Maximum entry limit of 10 units per day.)
"This!" Su Ping's eyes shimmered at the sight.
' Is this even possible! The effects sound so surreal!'
To think such a thing was possible. Currently the card mentioned Lvl 1 structures were able to created so long as one used the building.
Doesn't that mean that Lvl 1 structures included structures of common tier, elite tier, rare tier and so on.
[Unfortunately no, structures possess fixed Lvls with no tier difference.]
Su Ping felt disappointed but possessing a structure like this would be a start.
' Then what's the limits of a Lvl 1 structure?'
[A car would be far greater than a Lvl 1 structure, a bomb as well. An e.g of a Lvl 1 structure would be a wooden wall, wooden furniture, a log cabin]
' I see...'
Su Ping stroked his scaled chin with his dragon claws in contemplation. He called over Ning An, Yang Lan and Ming Yao before telling them he wanted to build a wall around all their territory's
The three of them had never seen a wall before but, they got the gist of what he was implying.
" That would be a wonderful idea master, The imp demons can be your first batch of workers." said Ning An.
" The swamp region near here is filled with lot's of demons, I'm sure with your strength, it wouldn't be hard to recruit them, that way we'll have more worker's.' Ming Yao said.
" We would need to gather the necessary materials first. We could have some of the newly recruited demons to do that. But first we'll have to take care of the Lvl 1 Rare demon unit who's in charge of the periphery of the swamp first."
At the mention of the Lvl 1 rare unit, Su Pings expression turned serious, he understood just what it meant to become a rare unit.
Even if he as well had the might of a rare unit, He couldn't take this upcoming battle lightly, less he would be gravely injured, or worse, lose his life. After all, no one could predict what the future held.
With the 3 fox demons leading the way, they soon arrived at the swamp region. The stench of decay and sulfur was more potent here than another place Su Ping had been.
" My lord, we have company." Ming Yao's fur stood on end in warning as she bared her teeth.
Infront of them, a few creatures resembling humanoid frogs slowly popped out their slimy heads from the mucky swamp.
[Frog Demons. Lvl 1 common units x 30]
The frog demons revealed hostile expressions at the sight of the intruders. Surprisingly, they didn't flee at the sight of The rare draconic unit amongst the group.
Putui!
Putui!
Putui!
[F class Skill: Acid spit]
The frog demons spat out disgusting acidic spit towards the three fox demons.
Ming Yao, Ning An and Yang Lan were forced to dodge, evading the fox demons attacks.
The three of them were frustrated because even if they used their illusions to stun the frog demons, they couldn't enter the swamp to face them because one it was disgusting and two, they weren't sure they'd be a
ble to get out if they did and three, if more of them were to arrive, their combat prowess would be severely diminished in the swamp.
