ALL NOVEL Chapter 18 The Etter Tribe
The powerful roar of the dragon echoed throughout the cave. Instead of frightening the group of kobolds, it actually made them even more excited.
Some of these kobolds were lying on the ground twisting their lizard-like tails behind them, some were waving metal plate shields and rusty table knives and daggers in their hands, cheering "woof woof woof", and some even danced around the bonfire. A weird dance.
The scene was a bit chaotic, but it was obvious that they were all honored and happy to be ruled by the dragon.
Su Nian held Anna in his arms for a moment, and suddenly imagined that if he were a boss in his previous life, his employees would all look like kobolds...
Regardless of IQ, just looking at this kind of drive, all the Fortune 500 companies are definitely his companies.
"Porikri, are there only that many kobolds in your tribe?"
Su Nian flew to the center of the hall and observed the kobolds present from a high position.
Most of these kobolds are old and young. Many young kobolds are wrapped in colorful bandages. Some of the more miserable ones are even missing arms and legs. It is obvious that there has been a war recently.
"Master, you have to make the decision for us!!"
Polycris knelt on the ground, his face was filled with pain, and he expressed his sorrow with tears and runny nose:
"Originally, the Broken Tooth Tribe was a medium-sized tribe, with four to five hundred kobolds. I wasn't the chief at that time, but later our tribe was attacked by a group of Ete monsters with their spider swarms, and they robbed them. Our territory has occupied our mines..."
"Then for the continuation of the race, I ran out with the remaining Broken Tooth clan and settled in the current cave."
Speaking of sadness, the kobolds around him started crying like their chief, and the sound was similar to that of a beaten dog.
It's strange?
Su Nian searched the memories inherited from the dragon clan and soon learned the detailed information of this monster.
This is a humanoid spider, generally at the second level, and some excellent ones can reach the third level.
But they are very different from Spider-Man.
They have only four strong trunks and can walk upright or crawl. Their heads are similar to ordinary spiders, with compound eyes and sharp fangs.
In short, just looking at it makes the sanity level plummet.
The Etters have a flute-like mouthpart through which they can manipulate spiders, just like those Asans who raise cobras.
Due to their dark tendency, they usually live in dark deep forests or caves.
This kind of monster has a cruel temperament and especially likes to suck brains. Manipulating spiders is only one of their means of attack.
In fact, they themselves also have good fighting capabilities.
Although they are humanoid monsters, they can still spit out spider silk through the silk glands in their mouths and form large webs to trap prey.
At the same time, these monsters also have poisonous needles on their lower abdomen. After trapping the prey, they will use the poisonous needles on their lower abdomen to inject dissolved venom into the prey.
Before, Su Nian's lair was still on the outskirts of Silver Moon Forest, so he had never encountered such a magical beast.
But that's not important. What's important is, what did he just hear?
Mine? !
Having a mine means having money, and having money means that if you encounter a parade goblin merchant in the future, you can buy supplies and even potions, and you can even let him sleep on gold coins!
"Porikri, what mine did your tribe occupy before? And how many of those ite monsters were there?"
Polikli blinked his eyes twice, feeling overjoyed. The black dragon's question showed that he had an idea. If the black dragon was willing to help them, they would have a chance to drive away or even kill the ite monsters, and then regain their old territory.
"Great Master, our former tribe was called the Dogtooth Tribe. It was four or five times larger than this cave now. Like the metal shield in the hand of the kobold over there. It turned out that there were hundreds of them in the tribe, and there was also this metal fork. , we have more than two hundred sharp weapons, and a beautiful female kobold with a graceful figure... Wow..."
Su Nian frowned and blew a breath of hot air on Polikli's face impatiently. The strong airflow turned into a white smoke in the slightly cold cave, causing Polikli to somersault and fall. on the ground.
"Tell me the important point!" Black Dragon's voice sounded like thunder in Polikli's ears.
"Report to the master!"
Feeling Su Nian's anger, Polikli climbed up from the ground and reported in a precise manner:
"It occupies the silver mine, and there are five yite monsters, and their spiders...the spiders are countless..."
Su Nian didn't try to find out whether Polikli could count or didn't know how to count. He was thinking about whether the silver mine was worth the risk for him to take down.
First there were five eterks, now maybe more.
These level 10-20 monsters are not the most troublesome, mainly because the spider swarms under them and the spider webs all over the lair are very disgusting.
Secondly, the itters are neutral evil and are not easy to conquer. Although there have been black dragons that have subdued the itters in the past, they are not lawful. He is mainly afraid that these itters will harm Anna.
The lawful kobolds are different. Although they are also in the evil camp, they will protect Anna now that Anna is one of their own.
After thinking for a long time, Su Nian felt that it was still possible to fight. After all, Anna's illness could not be postponed. It would cost money at some point later, and it was not known whether the human mage would come to find her.
He always likes to prepare for the worst in everything, so he can't eat and sleep every day like other dragons.
He wants to struggle a little!
Now the only thing that could quickly improve his strength was the transformation system. Su Nian opened the system panel, scanned it for a long time, and finally focused on the two transformation contents.
[Primary Furnace] Modify the poison sac that stores acid and add biological furnace cells to produce molten slurry, which can emit molten flames containing toxins. (Consumption of system points: 1000)
[Primary Dragon Breath Accumulation] Modify the poison sac wall cells that convert acid to enhance the storage speed of dragon breath. (Consumption of system points: 1000)
Etters are afraid of fire, and their acidic dragon's breath has limited damage to their chitinous carapace. In melee combat, they are easily surrounded by the spider swarms they command.
Therefore, only by transforming yourself into a fire-breathing black dragon can you cause the greatest damage to these ite monsters.
A cold light flashed in Su Nian's dragon eyes. He killed the Fire Rabbit for 1-2 system points each time, the Mountain Wolf for 2-3 points for each kill, and the Silver Moon Wolf for 5-6 points more, and the trouble was not enough.
The ones who benefited the most were the humans who were in a righteous position for him. The system point reward was doubled, and killing a second-level human was worth at least 15 points.
Sure enough, we still have to struggle with the humans in this world.
With only a trace of humanity remaining, Su Nian did not intend to attack the villages of ordinary civilians, but he would not be polite to some mercenary groups, bandits and the like.
In fact, killing the player is the best choice, but according to the system's intention, the player has not arrived yet.
"Polikri, tell me, are there any human bandits' strongholds or black beast mercenary groups nearby?"
Polikri was stunned by Su Nian's escaping question. Wasn't he still robbing the mine just now? Why did it suddenly involve humans?
However, he did not dare to ask any more questions and answered honestly:
"Praise the great master! There are indeed two bandit gangs nearby, but there is only one Blood Lion mercenary group. I have never heard of the Black Beast mercenary group."
This is the dnd illustrated book
[For the record, readers who have been reading the comments all know that this itter monster was suggested by a reader. I added it when I thought it was okay. Then I collided with the Tyrant of Fire. The setting of the itter monster at the beginning was The fifth edition DND illustrated book I copied, including this picture, also comes from there. This is a public resource. The setting of the kobolds is also the same. The Tyrant of Fire also copied this illustrated book. You can compare it, but some people don’t understand this. If you accuse me of copying Haoyan, then in this case, I can only change all the settings of the Yitwei. I hope that readers will understand clearly before accusing an author. There is a big difference between learning from and bumping settings and copying books, revised on August 3, 2022]
