Chapter 65: Chapter 65, Pink Pig Man 1

Half an hour later.
All the worms in the cave had been exterminated.
After the Skeleton Spearman killed the queen worm, a silver treasure box was found at the back of the nest.
They made a small discovery.
After leaving the mine, the skeletons also brought out the silver treasure box. They placed it in front of Fang Hao.
“Clear out the mine, carry out all the bodies and bones for incineration,” Fang Hao commanded loudly.
The skeletons began to divide the tasks amongst themselves.
Some nearby chopped wood, while others entered the mine to transport all the corpses and bones out, preparing for a burning.
Fang Hao himself, came to the treasure box and opened it directly.
[Reward: Iron Round Shield Blueprint, Iron Pickaxe Blueprint, Iron Sheet Blueprint, Warfire Coins+65]
Upon seeing the rewards, Fang Hao’s pupils brightened slightly. Every reward from this treasure box was iron-related blueprints. [Iron Round Shield: Wood 12, Metal Components 5, Iron Plate 2.] (Description: The round shield of wood is covered with a layer of sturdy iron skin, improving the defensive power and toughness of the shield.) Not too shabby.
The iron round shield can perfectly replace the current hardwood shield. Enhance the defence of the infantry.
[Iron Pickaxe: Wood 2, Iron 2.]
The blueprint for the iron pickaxe was something Fang Hao had been looking for. The demand of it exceeded even that of weapon and equipment blueprints. The mining speed of the stone pickaxe was too slow, and it was worn out easily due to its low durability.
Now with the iron pickaxe, the work efficiency of the labouring skeletons can be greatly improved.
Also, these iron axes and iron pickaxes are very popular items and can be sold at good prices.
[Iron Plate: Cast Iron Piece 2.]
(Description: The processed iron plate is an important material for forging finished ironware.)
The appearance of the iron plate was a pleasant surprise for Fang Hao.
The trade deal with the Bronze Bull, includes the iron plate as one of the essential materials for the manufacture of the defence set.
Unexpectedly, the blueprint for the iron plate was obtained here.
As for the cast iron pieces required for synthesizing iron plates, although there were no clues yet, Fang Hao was not in a hurry.
The delivery time vowed to Bronze Bull is still far away, and there’s plenty of time.
While Fang Hao was checking the rewards.
All the corpses of the animals were set on fire.
This was done to deal with the possible uncleaned worms hidden in the corpses.
Might as well burn them all.
The crackling flames consumed everything like a devouring dragon, enveloping all the corpses and turning them into ashes.
The fire burned for more than an hour before it gradually died down. After letting the skeletons cover it with soil, Fang Hao led the team back. Passing by the pig-headed human village, Fang Hao used God’s Presence to change from the infantryman’s body to the Skeleton Cavalry’s body. [God’s Presence Target, Skeleton Scout, Compatibility 65%.] With a puli on the rein, the skeleton horse reared high.
The noise from the stables attracted the attention of the pig-headed humans outside.
A pig-headed human cautiously walked in and respectfully asked, “Is it Mr Fang Hao?”
Earlier, the Clan Leader of the pig-headed humans had arranged for someone to invite Fang Hao to the Clan Leader’s Hall.
No matter how hard they tried to communicate, these skeleton cavalrymen remained motionless like statues, completely unresponsive.
Having no other choice, they were asked to wait outside the door.
“What’s the matter?” Fang Hao asked curiously.
He still couldn’t differentiate the appearances of the pig-headed humans, but the one in front of him was definitely not Bolton.
At a glance, the pig-headed man saw that the skeleton was truly speaking his legs trembled with fear.
However, not forgetting the words of the Clan Leader, he quickly said with a Shaky gait, “Respected Mr. Fang Hao, our Clan Leader has learned of your arrival, please follow me to the Clan Leader’s Hall.”
Oh? Fang Hao was taken aback, then replied, “Lead the way!”
“Yes, sir, please follow me.”
The pig-headed man replied, immediately leading the way.
The village was not large, covering a small area, and they quickly reached the central area of the village, the Clan Leader’s Hall.
“Clan Leader, Mr. Fang Hao has arrived.”
“Hmm, please enter, Mr. Fang Hao.”
Fang Hao went inside the building directly.
Inside the hall, there was a female pig-headed person sitting.
About one and a half meters tall, slightly plump, she was wearing a light blue gown with red flowers embroidered on the collar.
Her skin was fair and she wore a gemstone necklace around her neck. Though she was the most appealing pig-headed person Fang Hao had ever seen, the pig-headed image still did not comply with human aesthetics. But it at least didn’t cause disgust, resembling a pet pig.
“Honorable Mr. Fang Hao, good afternoon, I am Petty. I heard that you will be cleaning up the abandoned mine, do you need any assistance from us?” Petty asked softly. ’
“No need, the abandoned mine has been thoroughly cleaned. Before nightfall I will arrange for workers to start mining.” Fang Hao answered lightly.
Hearing Fang Hao’s casual reply-
Clang!
Petty, the Clan Leader, lost her balance and directly fell from her chair. She quickly stood up. Her powdered white face flushed red instantly. She coughed lightly, then said, “Mr. Fang Hao, what did you say just now? I didn’t hear it clearly. Did you say you plan to clean up the abandoned mine? That mine has been attempted by many tribes, but has always been impossible to mine, remaining deserted to this day.”
She believed that she had heard him wrong or that Fang Hao had misspoke. How could it be possible that the news of Fang Hao’s arrival was received in the morning, and the cleaning was done in the afternoon?
“No, the Iron-Eating Worms in the abandoned mine have been eliminated by me, and I will arrange for people to start mining later.” Fang Hao stated once more.
Hearing Fang Hao’s second Confirmation-
Petty was sure she hadn’t heard wrongly, disbelief and shock filled her eyes. He conquered their helpless abandoned mine so swiftly and simply? It was somewhat unbelievable.
If it weren’t for the undead skeleton standing before her, showing off strength and mystery, she would have thought that it was some joke.
“You’re not joking? Ail the worms have been eliminated?” Petty inquired further.
“There is no reason to hide anything. If you wish to verify, you can arrange someone to check right now,” said Fang Hao with a calm tone, then he added, “I have sole claim over the mine. If you harbour any ill-intentions, I will take it as a provocative act.”
At these words, Petty’s facial expression stiffened somewhat.
She could hear the confidence in Fang Hao’s tone.
This kind of confidence, was confidence in his own strength, and an indifference to the Pigmen Tribe.
“No, of course, not,” Petty hurried to defend.
The atmosphere at that moment was somewhat awkward.
Petty had invited Fang Hao because she learned about his plan to clean up the
mine and had wanted to assist while benefitting from it.
However, to her surprise, he had directly mentioned that the mine was already cleaned up. Moreover, he had declared his ownership forcibly.
This left her in a difficult position.
Just as she was about to say something, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
A pig-headed man rushed in, panting heavily.
“Clan Leader, it’s bad, an army of tens of thousands of undead has suddenly appeared and is approaching the village,” reported the pig-headed man wiping the sweat off his forehead and speaking anxiously.
Petty was even more panicked, and urgently commanded, “Quick, quick get ready for battle.”
Saying so, she wanted to go outside, completely forgetting about Fang Hao who was sitting to her side.
Seeing her about to rush out, Fang Hao tersely said, “Clan Leader Petty, these are my troops, they won’t hurt you.”
Petty stopped in her tracks, her eyes showing more fear than surprise..
