Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

Chapter 34: Chapter 33: Harvest and A Lair of Fat Rabbits

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When the scorpion warrior charged forward with its pincers and curved tail, the body of the fire dragon rabbit suddenly burst into flames, turning into a huge fireball.

Not only did it not retreat, but the rabbit launched a counter-charge instead.

Its speed was like lightning that streaked across the sky.

Wherever it passed, the fireball left a scorched mark on the ground.

Those sharp-clawed halflings were mixed in the middle. They were so scared they almost peed their pants. They did not even turn their heads as they walked into the distance.

Neither side paid any attention to those fellows. They aimed their targets at the real enemies.

After a few breaths, both sides collided.

The iron pincers that the scorpion warrior waved were about to shatter even the huge rocks.

However, the fire dragon rabbit was extremely agile. It quickly turned and dodged.

The flames on its body exploded like gasoline.

‘Boom!’

The orange-red flames enveloped the scorpion warrior.

Even though the scorpion warrior did not feel any pain, it still felt intense discomfort.

Its soul was warning it.

The scorpion tail that was bent like a bow shot out like an arrow, trying to intercept the enemy.

However, the fire dragon rabbit was swift. With a kick of its hind legs, it dodged the moment the scorpion warrior launched an attack.

It also used its extremely agile characteristic to move around in the surroundings. It relied on the flames burning on its body to deal damage. It did not engage in a head-on clash with the scorpion warrior at all.

The scorpion warrior, which was extremely powerful in close combat, kept launching attacks, but it was unable to achieve any results.

However, the scorpion warrior was indeed worthy of being an undead creature. Its flesh was so thick that it made people’s scalps go numb.

No matter how the fire dragon rabbit burned it with flames, it still stood upright.

The unique characteristic of a battle between crispy skin and flesh was that flesh could make countless mistakes. But if crispy skin made one mistake...it would be death.

‘Puchi!’

When the scorpion warrior stopped the fire dragon rabbit once again, its tail stabbed out at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Although the fire dragon rabbit had sensed the danger in time and avoided the frontal attack, it was still inevitably grazed by the scorpion’s tail.

And this was enough…

In a few seconds, the fire dragon rabbit that had just escaped suddenly stiffened. After twitching a few times, it directly fell into the yellow sand.

The scorpion tail contained its great killing weapon—lethal poison.

After a period of stalemate, the scorpion warrior finally made progress.

The fire dragon rabbit was either killed by the iron pincers or stabbed by the scorpion tail. The number of fire dragon rabbits was rapidly decreasing.

However, during the battle, there were also scorpion warriors who could not withstand the fire dragon rabbits’ damage and activated the Sand Transformation skill.

The Sand Transformation skill was immune to 99% physical damage and could not cancel out magic damage.

However, this skill had a very powerful characteristic. It allowed recovery through merging with the yellow sand.

This was equivalent to meat having an extremely strong regeneration ability.

The damage caused by the fire dragon rabbits was quickly wiped out.

When the last seven or eight fire dragon rabbits were injured and fell to the ground, the system’s voice rang out as expected.

[Ding~ Your command troops have defeated a group of fire dragon rabbits in a small-scale battle. You have obtained 50 experience points and captured eight fire dragon rabbits.]

Richard, who was watching the battle from not too far away, was in a great mood.

The Sand Transformation skill had shown extremely powerful practicality during these few days of battle.

It was a godly skill.

Richard had the scorpion warrior control the fire dragon rabbit properly to prevent these little cuties from suddenly attacking him.

He came to the yellowish grassland where the fire dragon rabbit and the sharp-clawed halfling were facing each other out of curiosity.

Richard scanned his surroundings and saw seven or eight rabbit lairs that only revealed small holes not far away.

Richard’s eyes lit up. He was not in a hurry to make a move and had the mummies go and dig through all of them.

A moment later, 30 young rabbits that had just grown hair appeared in front of him.

“No wonder the fire dragon rabbits are so fierce in battle. It turns out they are protecting their young...”

He turned his head to look at an idle scorpion warrior beside him.

“Go back to the territory immediately and tell Karu about the situation here. Ask him to send someone to bring these fire dragon rabbits back.”

“Yes, Lord.”

The scorpion warrior immediately turned around and returned to the territory.

Richard picked up a fire dragon rabbit cub from the ground with some curiosity.

He found that the bodies of these little fellows were warm as if they were carrying hot water bags in winter.

“No wonder the system’s introduction said that the fire dragon rabbit’s fur is very popular. These pups that haven’t grown up are already so comfortable to touch. Won’t adult ones be able to fly into the sky?”

Richard put the pups that had just opened their eyes back on the grass and walked to the sand. He reached out and touched a dead fire dragon rabbit.

The long white fur was particularly eye-catching.

After he covered his palm, Richard felt an indescribable wonderful sensation.

Not only was it exceptionally smooth, but it also carried a special heat, just like a lover’s black stockings in winter.

He held a few strands of rabbit fur in his hand.

After a long time, the heat was still there. The feeling just now was not the body temperature of the fire dragon rabbit.

Richard thought for a moment then picked it up and placed it under the sun.

After a while, the heat became even more obvious.

“Not only can it keep warm...but the rabbit fur can also store the energy of the sun after it leaves the body...”

“No wonder there are so few of them. It’s a miracle that this rare thing hasn’t been hunted to extinction.”

After studying it for a long time, Richard’s interest was particularly high.

He had a feeling that if this thing could truly be raised, it might not be worse than Desert Crown Honey.

It was a little difficult to raise bees on a large scale, but rabbits could surely do it.

Not only could they breed several lairs a year, but each nest could have ten or so cubs. It wouldn’t be long before the scale would multiply.

As a soul of a florist, he was naturally very interested in growing and raising these things.

“But it’s a magical life form after all. Raising it might be quite difficult...”

“But no matter what, let’s give it a try first. If it works, then it’ll work. If it doesn’t work, then put a pot of boiling water on the stove and boil it until it dries up. It won’t be a loss to do it all over again.”

Not long after, Karu personally came with a group of people.

Onyx, along with Adele who was carrying a huge copper hammer on her back, also followed in the crowd.

When Karu saw the fire dragon rabbit, his expression was very excited.

“Lord, I didn’t expect you could even meet the fire dragon rabbit... I dare to bet that the goddess of luck must have blessed you.”

Onyx straightened his bulging stomach, and the fat on his face trembled as he exclaimed.

“The fire dragon rabbit is a specialty of the Deadly Desert. In the entire main dimension, only this desert has it.

“Its fur has an extremely strong warmth-keeping effect. As long as it basks in the sun for a few hours during the day, it will be warm for a few days.

“In the frost country, clothes made from the fire dragon rabbit’s fur can only be enjoyed by royalty.

“Not only that, if it is made into a robe and worn, it can also speed up the recovery of magic power. Among mages, the fire dragon rabbits are also very popular.

“Because of this, the fire dragon rabbits have been hunted too much as a creature of nature, and it is very difficult to see them.”

Richard was a little surprised. He did not expect that these guys were more valuable than he thought.

He immediately asked the question that he was most interested in.

“How should we raise these fire dragon rabbits?”

The expressions of the few of them became a little strange when they heard this.

“Lord Richard.” Adele’s clear voice sounded.

“Raising fire dragon rabbits is extremely difficult. Countless people have tried to raise them, but in the end, they all failed...”

“Because they all die inexplicably in the end. No one knows what’s going on.”

Karu nodded repeatedly. “Yes, Lord. Miss Adele is right. The fire dragon rabbit cannot be raised...”

Richard could not help but be greatly disappointed.

Good heavens, his breeding plan has already ended before it has even started?

Richard waved his hand.

“Then, forget it.”

Tonight, Richard could only braise it red first, stir-fry, and steam it every day. He could stir-fry and stew it the day after tomorrow...

After savoring the taste, his mood became better.

From the looks of it, it wasn’t a bad thing that Richard couldn’t raise it.

But just as he finished speaking, a weak voice sounded from behind the crowd.

“Lord, I, I know how to raise the fire dragon rabbit...”

Richard suddenly turned his head to look at the person who spoke.

His eyes narrowed.

Did this kid want to ruin his good deed?
