Tang Zhen was currently standing on a high ground. The view here was very good. He was able to easily see the surrounding scenery from a high ground.
“Hundreds of kobolds were busy on a piece of flat land not far away. They seemed to be preparing for something. From time to time, the leader of the kobolds would bark and shout, making it very lively. ”
“Not far away, there was a huge pot with food being cooked inside. A human was stripped naked and lying on the ground. It was unknown whether he was Dead or Alive. Tang Zhen looked at the scattered bones around him and the oil that was constantly churning in the pot. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. ”
“Tang Zhen slowly scanned the entire place. He discovered that there were many adjacent caves on the mound not far away. From time to time, there would be dog-headed people entering and exiting from them, carrying something. ”
“One of the caves was guarded by two particularly strong houndhead men with machetes on their waists and short Spears in their hands. They did not allow any houndhead men to approach, or they would punch and kick. ”
“Tang Zhen stared at the entrance of the cave for a while and determined that this was the treasure room of the dog-headed people. There were definitely precious resources brought by this tribe inside, and they could even be the building foundation and brain. ”
“The foundation that the kobolds used to build their city was different from that of humans. They did not come from the wild buildings, but were split from the foundation of the Kobold main city, which was called the sacred city. After these split foundations were upgraded through continuous sacrifices, they would split again and give them to the descendants of the Kobold n.o.bles who had left the clan. ”
“The reason why the dog-headed people did this was that only this kind of building cornerstone that was split from the holy city’s cornerstone had the most suitable attribute for the dog-headed people, which was the enhancement of their reproductive ability. Only by giving birth and raising more would they be able to ensure that the dog-headed people would not be destroyed. ”
“Tang Zhen wasn’t interested in this kind of d.a.m.nable foundation stone attribute. What he cared about was the brain pearls that were used as a sacrifice during the construction of the tower. This was because once the tower was built, the first sacrifice would require ten thousand brain pearls. Since he had encountered it, there was no reason for him not to take it. ”
“Moreover, Tang Zhen could also see that these dog-headed people were preparing for the construction of the tower. Looking at the progress, it was likely that they would be able to perform the sacrificial ceremony today. ”
“Tang Zhen secretly thought that it was such a coincidence. If these dog-headed people had successfully built their towers and the dog-headed people were to defend the city, the difficulty of the attack would increase greatly. It might even increase unnecessary casualties. This was definitely not a scene that Tang Zhen wanted to see. ”
“Right now, what he had to do was to wait and see. He would wait until the most critical moment to make a move. Thinking of this, Tang Zhen sat down on the ground and watched the group of dog-headed people busy with their work without saying a word. He sat there for several hours. ”
“When Tang Zhen saw a group of dog-headed people carrying a black stone platform and placing it in front of the hill while shouting, he knew that the time he had been waiting for had arrived. He hurriedly stood up and began to move his somewhat numb limbs. ”
“After taking out the purple lightning short sword, Tang Zhen began to slowly move downward. When he had reached the area that the map could cover, he stopped. ”
“He didn’t dare to get too close, because the quantum stealth light curtain couldn’t block sound and smell. If he got too close, he might be detected by these sensitive dog-headed people and discover his existence. ”
“At this moment, the dog-headed people began to gather together. There were at least a thousand of them, and more than half of them were short spear-wielding dog-headed Warriors. ”
“It didn’t take long for a tall Kobold, who was dressed much more exquisitely than the other kobolds, to slowly walk out of the cave. He came to the black stone platform under the worship of many kobolds. ”
“Looking at the dog-headed man’s appearance, he should be the clan leader of this group of dog-headed people. ”
“At this moment, the Kobold chieftain, who was standing in front of the stone platform, had a smug expression on his face. He was raising his hands up high and mumbling something. Tang Zhen could clearly hear through the translator that the prayer ceremony needed to be carried out before the construction of the tower was completed. Next, he would have to sacrifice his brain. ”
“Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the Kobold chieftain to take out a foundation stone from his bosom and place it on the stone platform. He used a sharp knife to cut his finger and dripped his blood on it. ”
“At the same time, ten dog-headed people walked out of the heavily guarded cave. Each of them carried a heavy leather bag and walked towards the black stone platform. ”
“””Now, move!”” ”
“Tang Zhen immediately approached the kobolds. When he was only a dozen meters away from them, Tang Zhen took out two grenades from his storage s.p.a.ce. He aimed one at the Kobold patriarch and the other at the kneeling Kobold. He threw them at the same time. ”
“The grenade that appeared out of thin air smashed onto the ground, causing the kobolds to panic. The many guards around the Kobold patriarch reacted extremely quickly and immediately protected the patriarch. At the same time, they twitched their noses desperately and locked onto Tang Zhen’s position in an instant. ”
“However, before they could do anything, the two grenades immediately exploded. The deafening sound was deafening, and the gathered kobolds let out miserable howls one after another. ”
“The two grenades thrown by Tang Zhen had killed at least a dozen kobolds. Even one of the Kobold patriarch’s guards had been killed, and countless kobolds had been injured. ”
“Seeing that the dog-headed people were in chaos, Tang Zhen did not hesitate at all. Like a gust of wind, he rushed in front of the ten dog-headed people who were carrying the leather bags and slashed his sword at the two arms of one of the dog-headed people who were tightly holding onto the leather bag. ”
“The purple lightning short sword was too sharp. Even after Tang Zhen had cut off its arms, the dog-headed man still did not feel any pain. It only let out a painful howl when it saw that both its arms had been cut off. ”
“Tang Zhen waved his hand and the leather bag, which was still tightly held by his two broken arms, was placed into his storage s.p.a.ce. ”
“When the other dog-headed people with leather bags saw this, they immediately turned around and ran into the cave with the leather bags on their backs. The rest of the dog-headed people also recovered from the chaos. They relied on their keen sense of smell and had already faintly locked onto Tang Zhen. One after another, they stood behind the dog-headed people with leather bags and tried to stop Tang Zhen from s.n.a.t.c.hing. ”
“At this moment, the Kobold patriarch was also covering one of his bleeding eyes with his hand and roaring madly at his clansmen. Tang Zhen could clearly hear what he meant. He wanted to capture Tang Zhen at all costs. ”
“The Kobold guards beside the Kobold patriarch threw short Spears at Tang Zhen’s back. Tang Zhen, who saw this scene through the map, immediately dodged. As a result, after the short Spears pa.s.sed Tang Zhen, they directly nailed several kobolds to the ground. ”
“The level of these dog-headed guards was around level two. The short Spears they threw were extremely lethal. Even though Tang Zhen had a black cloak to protect him, he still did not dare to be careless. ”
Tang Zhen couldn’t help but become anxious when he saw the dog-headed people with leather bags walking further and further away. He immediately took out his automatic rifle and fired wildly in front of him.
“The dense bullets caused the dog-headed people to fall in droves. However, following the dog-headed people’s leader’s roar, even more fearless dog-headed people immediately filled the path cleared by the bullets. They then fearlessly pounced toward Tang Zhen. ”
“Many ants could bite an elephant to death, not to mention that he was facing a group of extremely loyal, fierce, and crazy dog-headed people! ”
“When Tang Zhen saw that the situation was not good, he immediately activated his teleportation ability and escaped from the encirclement of the dog-headed people. He directly appeared in front of the dog-headed people who were carrying leather bags. ”
Shua shua shua!
“Tang Zhen swung his sword three times in a row, killing all the kobolds near him. At the same time, he kept the brains into his storage s.p.a.ce. Now, Tang Zhen had already s.n.a.t.c.hed four bags of brains, while the remaining six bags were carried by the six kobolds, each running in different directions. ”
“Tang Zhen cursed in his heart. These dog-headed people were actually so cunning. They even knew how to split up and escape. In this way, he could only chase after one of the dog-headed people while the other five would take the opportunity to escape. ”
“Although Tang Zhen was furious, he had no choice. He could only lock onto a dog-headed man and quickly chase after it. ”
“The process of the pursuit was not smooth sailing. Under the command of a few kobolds with an unusually sensitive sense of smell, short Spears were constantly shot at him. There were a few times when they almost pierced Tang Zhen’s face. It scared him so much that he doubled his speed before he could avoid those short Spears. ”
“However, this extreme speed consumed a lot of physical strength. When Tang Zhen took a great risk to kill the dog-headed man that he had locked onto, his physical strength was almost exhausted. ”
It would definitely be extremely dangerous if they continued to stay in this situation. Tang Zhen was a little reluctant as he glanced at the dog-headed people who were carrying leather bags on their backs. He then quickly retreated into the distance.
