[Enhanced Leather Boots: Thick Leather 3, Yarn 2, Metal Parts 2.]

Yarn is a general term, both flax and cotton yarn are referred to as yarn.

He has metal parts, but thick leather has to be processed with a leather rack before it comes out as a finished product.

He started crafting now.

There was still plenty of time, and the unknown sense of danger brought by the Skullcrusher made him tense.

In the following time, Fang Hao once again opened the Book of Lords to review the newly obtained map.

This map was purchased yesterday from Manim Tavern, located in the southwest direction of Manim Market.

It’s called Mysterious Cave.

If he set off now, there was enough time to return to the territory before nightfall.

On this departure, the configuration remained the same as before, with a force of fifty thousand soldiers, and Anjia accompanying.

Taking into consideration the cave, he had prepared plenty of torches.

He returned to his room and manifested God’s Presence on to one of the Skeleton soldiers.

Then, with most of his troops, he left the territory in a mighty procession once again.

Three hours later.

Fang Hao and others finally arrived at this mysterious cave with the help of the map.

It was different from what Fang Hao had imagined.

This cave was not a hole in the mountain but a huge pit hole on the ground with a diameter of about 5 meters.

Instead of forming naturally, it seemed more like a hole collapsed after an earthquake.

Standing near the hole, he could feel a chilly and uncomfortable feeling coming from within.

“How did someone record this and sell it as a blueprint?” Anjia looked down into the cave and asked.

In her opinion, this was just a big hole formed by geological changes.

It wasn’t worth one Warfire Coin at all.

Fang Hao ignored her and looked down too.

Under the cave was a pool of water, he didn’t know whether it was from the original mountain or accumulated rainwater.

The sides of the pool were rocks covered with moss, and through the dark depths, he could faintly see a small path leading further inside.

“Make a rope ladder, prepare to go down.” Fang Hao shouted out the order. Adhering to his principle of frugality, Fang Hao, whenever leading his troops out, would have the Skeletons push a substantial number of carts.

So that any spoils of war could be brought back.

It was the same this time, more than one hundred carts, equipped with prepared hemp ropes.

Upon hearing Fang Hao’s commands, the Skeletons started knotting the ropes, making them into rope ladders.

When everything was ready, they lit the torches and started climbing down the rope ladder into the cave.

The torchlight illuminated the surroundings. On the side of the pool, there was indeed a passage leading to the depths.

“Ah!”

“Damn…!”

Suddenly, Anjia, who was standing behind, made Fang Hao, who was contemplating the passage, shudder unexpectedly.

The torch in his hand almost dropped.

“Why are you an undead so nervous?” Anjia asked.

“You scared me. What’s up?” Fang Hao replied annoyed.

“I just want to ask, was this dug by humans?” Anjia ran her hand over the cave wall.

Fang Hao approached the wall and scrutinized it carefully.

He could indeed see some marks left by tools.

But it didn’t seem as if it was entirely dug out, it appeared more like an existing hole that had been artificially expanded.

“It looks like it’s been expanded twice over, seems like there might be something interesting inside.” Fang Hao replied, nodding.

“Exploring, I like it.” Anjia was quite enthusiastic.

“If there’s danger, retreat first.” Fang Hao reminded her.

After all, he was using God’s Presence, and his other troops were also Skeleton soldiers.

If Anjia encountered danger, it would indeed be dangerous.

Fang Hao didn’t want Nelson to turn her into a Skeleton Hero either.

“Alright, got it.” Anjia casually replied.

About a hundred Skeleton soldiers had come down. The Skeleton Ogres, due to their huge size, simply could not descend.

The remaining Skeleton soldiers stayed above.

If they encountered any danger, this would allow them to respond in a timely manner.

Once everything was ready, the two with hundred Skeletons headed directly into the cave.

The cave was dark and deep, the flickering glow of the torches reflected on the cave walls, turning them into an orange-red hue.

As they delved deeper, the caliber of the tunnel increasingly widened. There were no intersections, just a straight path leading further in.

Fang Hao cast a careful look at the ores on either side of the mountain.

They weren’t any specific type of ore and held no value for mining.

The journey continued.

As they emerged from the cave, an expansive underground space revealed itself.

A giant palace was carved out by human hands.

The carvings on the wall were life-like, with glowing Nightstone lanterns sporadically placed every few metres, emanating a faint light.

“Do people live here?” Anjia whispered in a low voice.

“I don’t think so. The damp and cold here is bound to give one rheumatism,” Fang Hao replied.

Even if it were a skeleton living here, moss would definitely grow on its bones. “What’s rheumatism?”

“Nothing important, there’s definitely treasures to be found here,” Fang Hao deflected the subject.

“True,” Anjia said, her excitement evident in her expression.

Who could resist the allure of an imminent treasure?

Extinguishing their torches, the few people stepped into the main hall.

As they entered, slight creaking sounds echoed from both sides.

Within the dim light emitted by the Nightstones…

Four figures detached themselves from the wall, moving about mechanically.

[Stone Monster Construct Warrior (Rank 5)]

Sighting the attributes of the opponents, Fang Hao’s pupils constricted slightly.

These stone monsters were unlike any regular creatures.

They were covered in stone armor, complex patterns carved into the armor.

Their hands held a long blade showing signs of rust and decay.

Seeing that the creatures were rank five, Fang Hao furrowed his brow.

This was a type of creature he’d never encountered before.

He’d assumed they were stone people or stone spirits or the like; he didn’t expect them to be called Stone Monster Constructs.

Watching the stone monsters, moving their rigid bodies slowly towards him…

Fang Hao gave the command to prepare for battle, “Form ranks, prepare for battle.”

The skeleton army sprang into action.

They quickly formed a battle formation, their spears targeting the approaching stone monsters.

“Why so tense? There’s no threat,” Anjia said, pushing off the ground and morphing into a shadow charging towards a stone monster.

Her right arm slightly bent, she sent a punch flying.

Boom!

With the dispersion of her energy, a loud rumble echoed.

The chest of the stone monster suddenly shattered, revealing gears and several metallic components inside.

“Holy-! A robot.” The sight startled Fang Hao into an outburst.

Apparently, the stones wrapped around the exterior were merely a shell, the interior was akin to a complex, precise structure.

Fang Hao was surprised, but Anjia didn’t hold back at all.

Her punch was powerful, knocking the stone monster backwards like a punching bag, until it finally shattered into fragments.

After defeating one, without pausing, she rushed towards another, fists and kicks flying everywhere.

In contrast to Anjia’s overwhelming and violent style,

Fang Hao’s side was having a bit more difficulty.

Due to the limited space, only 100 skeleton soldiers had made it inside.

Even if they still had numerical advantage, to Fang Hao, it wasn’t truly a war of attrition.

Even muttering under his breath, daring them to go outside for a fair fight. Clang! Clang!

Spears and swords continuously chopped at the stone monsters, creating a symphony of clanging sounds.

The battle lasted over ten minutes.

Fang Hao’s skeleton squad had taken down 2 stone monsters, while Anjia eliminated 4. on her own.

“Here, see what this is for,”

Anjia tossed over a jadelike round sphere. It was completely translucent, allowing him to see the energetic bluish-white turbulence inside.
