NABC Chapter 18 Mode Change
Chapter 18 Mode Change
In the underground space, nearly a hundred dog-headed monsters knelt before a black, ferocious dragon-shaped monster, with the leading dog-headed shaman constantly worshipping, creating an inexplicable sense of epic grandeur.
A black-armored earth dragon, two meters tall at the shoulders, stood amidst a pile of monster corpses, looking down at them.
It was contemplating whether to kill them all to absorb their energy, or to subdue them and make them its subordinates, considering the benefits of subduing them... and so on.
The black-armored earth dragon's eyes lit up.
"I accept your submission." The black-armored earth dragon roared, its roar, mixed with mental fluctuations, spreading out, but only the dog-headed shaman among these monsters who knew a little bit of the abyssal demon language could understand it.
The dog-headed shaman paused, a look of astonishment appearing in his murky eyes, seemingly not expecting the black-armored earth dragon to 'speak'.
Its original procedure was a routine for dealing with powerful underground monsters.
When faced with a powerful monster that you can't defeat, first submit to it, offer it some flesh and blood and send it away. If the powerful monster doesn't leave, turn around and run away to join another tribe.
oooooooo! !
The kobold shaman jumped up and howled loudly at all the kobolds. Immediately, the kobolds who were originally terrified got up and cheered.
When these dog-headed monsters looked at the hideous black-armored earth dragon again, they felt no fear, only fanatical worship and excitement.
As for the monsters that were killed by the roar of the Black Armored Earth Dragon, they were simply forgotten by these dog-headed monsters, which made it impossible for the Black Armored Earth Dragon to understand their 'thoughts'.
But it doesn't matter, it's too lazy to investigate.
"Roar! Tell them to go and mine for me!" The black-armored earth dragon roared, its roar mixed with mental fluctuations sweeping over the dog-headed shaman.
"Great Lord of the Abyss, what is ore?" The dog-headed shaman looked up, a puzzled expression on his face.
The black-armored earth dragon growled, "They are some stones underground that contain extraordinary elements. These things are useful to me. Let them all go and dig them up."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Great Abyss Lord."
With the clear instructions given, the kobold shaman turned around, waved his staff, and shouted "Ula!" to all the kobold monsters, who responded fervently.
I just don't know how the dog-headed shaman communicated with these monsters.
When the Black Armored Earth Dragon saw some of the dog-headed monsters start digging at the ground, others jumped into the pool with a splash, and still others carried stone hammers and charged towards the hills.
Uh……
Late at night, Chen Zheng suddenly opened his eyes in bed, glanced at the time, and saw it was past four in the morning.
Chen Zheng got up, opened the drawer, took out a red ore that had plundered the active elements, and put it into his soul space.
oooooooo! !
Hoho! !
On a hillside tens of meters high, a ferocious black dragon stood proudly, its more than six-meter-long body casting a large shadow in the dim light above the cave.
Below the hillside, nearly a hundred dog-headed monsters brandished crude weapons and howled, creating a frenzied atmosphere filled with a primal energy.
Roar!
The Black Armored Earth Dragon roared, signaling the Dog-Headed Shaman to come up, while its already somewhat enormous right paw gently placed a fist-sized red ore on the ground.
These kobolds are too stupid. Although they can understand simple commands, they cannot comprehend more detailed information, including that shaman monster.
Therefore, we need a piece of ore that we mined yesterday as a reference.
Glug glug!
Upon arriving at the hillside, the dog-headed shaman first sang praises to the black-armored earth dragon, then picked up the ore with both hands and examined it carefully.
That earnestness seemed to indicate a desire to memorize every single texture of the stone.
Once he was certain he had memorized the appearance of the ore the great abyss lord needed, the kobold shaman turned around, raised the ore, and roared at the kobolds below with dramatic intonation.
"Awoooooo!!" The dog-headed monsters below roared wildly again, leaving the Black Armored Earth Dragon puzzled as to what they were so excited about.
Soon, under the command of the shaman monster, the kobold monsters split into three teams and surged toward three different passage entrances.
The target is the edge of the river where flames burn in the mouth of the Black Armored Earth Dragon; only in that environment can one find ore.
"All done." The black-armored earth dragon wagged its tail with satisfaction. "The order has been given. Now we just wait for them to return with the samples. If they don't meet the requirements, we'll collect them again."
Standing on the hillside, the Black Armored Earth Dragon looked at the dozens of dog-headed monsters remaining in its territory. Suddenly, it stretched out its right paw and stroked its chin, wondering if it could get these monsters to help it find prey.
These dog-headed monsters are definitely more familiar with the surrounding environment than it is, and know where powerful monsters are lurking, so it doesn't have to search for them one by one in the dark.
Thinking of this, the black-armored earth dragon's eyes slowly lit up.
Furthermore, since it can subdue these dog-headed monsters, does that mean it can also subdue other social monsters with a certain level of intelligence?
Some monsters with scouting and healing abilities don't need to be killed or eaten; they can be tamed.
Having a large number of monsters as subordinates is equivalent to having a map view; the extent of this view depends on the number of monsters it has subdued.
Furthermore, once it has subdued more monster minions, it can help deplete the health of some powerful monsters, pull monsters, and gather monsters together, which is much more efficient than killing them one by one as it is now.
The more the Black Armored Earth Dragon thought about it, the brighter its eyes became, with a dangerous yet excited glint in its yellow vertical pupils.
"Roar! From this moment on, I will switch from the survival mode of individual upgrades to the strategy mode of imperial conquest." The Black Armored Earth Dragon couldn't help but roar, feeling a strange sense of triumph.
"Great Abyss Lord, your lowly servant doesn't quite understand what mode is?" Below, the dog-headed shaman looked at the suddenly roaring black-armored earth dragon, a puzzled expression on his dog face.
"It's understandable if you don't understand. Go and redistribute them. Send some of the dog-headed monsters to mine, and send others to scout the surrounding environment to find out where there are monsters or monster tribes."
"Yes, great Abyss Lord." The kobold shaman dared not disobey the Black Armored Earth Dragon's orders.
Chen Zheng then pondered for a long time the direction of the power's development. Subduing more monsters would not only benefit the Black Armored Earth Dragon, but also bring many advantages to his human body.
Once Black Armor Earth Dragon's forces are fully established, they will be able to develop the resources deep within the abyss on a large scale, continuously harvesting extraordinary minerals and spiritual herbs. At that time, his strength will also skyrocket.
…………
In the morning, just after the first class in Class 9 of the Rune Department, Jiang Mo turned around and looked at Chen Zheng, who had a smile on his face, and asked curiously, "Chen Zheng, did you find some money this morning?"
"No."
"Then you kept smiling."
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something happy."
Chen Zheng smiled. He couldn't very well say that his other body had just led a group of dog-headed demons to surround and kill one of the demons, and that its size had increased again.
The morning passed quickly, and after lunch, Chen Zheng arrived at the Martial Arts Department office building.
There weren't many people in the lobby on the first floor at this time, so he stood in front of the unmanned verification device.
Beep! "Runic system student ID 64019852 has applied for a martial arts realm update."
"Verification successful. Please follow the instructions below."
"Qi and blood strength test: Please place your hand on the test area and circulate your Qi and blood... If your Qi and blood strength meets the standard, you pass."
