Gather all the equipment and resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeletons, no longer stationary, began to collect the fallen gear from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, there should be a boss in the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps a village or a clan leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, after being pulverized, it became rather difficult to distinguish who were the leaders and who were the followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of death, all creatures are equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the skeletons busied themselves with cleaning up the battlefield, Fang Hao, leading a dozen skeletal soldiers, entered the largest wooden hut of the tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was likely the Clan Leader’s room, or some sort of meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furniture was styled in a savage fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll take this bear-skin rug back.

The only furniture was a pile of hay, which served as his bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another room behind the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon opening the door, he saw a large bed in the room, draped with a fur blanket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner of the bedroom, there was a black chest with a metallic sheen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yay!” Fang Hao made a fist in celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now had a bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for it being previously used by the Gnolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t mind. Given their current situation, he couldn’t afford to be picky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could just clean up the fur blanket once they got back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, no longer would he have to sleep on a pile of hay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, he turned his attention towards the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chest in front of him was different from the wooden chests from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could tell it was of a higher grade, which also meant that the rewards inside would be more substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move the bed and fur blanket outside. Be careful not to damage them,” he ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeletons began to haul out the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao approached the chest, rubbed his hands together, and asked for blessings from the God of Luck before opening the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Obtained: Marketplace Building Blueprint, Cart Making Blueprint, Battle Axe Making Blueprint, 20 Warfire Coins]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he had imagined, the reward was generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had opened two wooden chests before, and their rewards were basically two common items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This metal chest contained three blueprints, all of which were practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even got 20 Warfire Coins, the camp was quite wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received the equipment, he left the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the central space of the camp, the collected supplies piled up into a small mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without lingering, Fang Hao continued to the warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warehouse was stocked with various materials, wood, stone, food, beast skins, and some weapons and tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move also the goods from here.”, Fang Hao commanded the moving operation, while continuing to rummage for other goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the living quarters of the Clan Leader, the rooms of the general Gnolls were quite crude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling them houses wasn’t quite right. They were more like hovels or makeshift shelters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the sweep, there wasn’t much left to loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the open space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao started to sort out the inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resources: 122 Wriggling Spines, 5520 units of wood, 3220 units of stone, 47 units of iron, 3225 units of food, 144 units of beast skin, 20 Warfire Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Equipment: 120 Iron Daggers, 72 Single-edged Swords, 45 Battle Axes, 12 Flatbed Carts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furniture: 1 Large Iron Cauldron, 1 Solid Wood Table, 6 Chairs, 1 Double Bed, 1 Bear-skin Rug, 1 Set of Fur Blankets, 12 Wooden Ladders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blueprints: Marketplace Building Blueprint, Cart Making Blueprint, Battle Axe Making Blueprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fang Hao took inventory, a smile spread slowly across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, looting was the quickest way to develop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spoils from seizing this camp would sustain his operations for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were no small losses on his side as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lost at least one-third of his forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wasn’t a problem. Worker skeletons could be summoned for free, there was only a cooldown time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the situation with the skeletal soldiers was even better. The Wriggling Spines yielded 122 new additions. If he desired, by using the 100-fold amplification, he could recruit an army of 10,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how you looked at it, he didn’t lose out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, start loading up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the 12 flatbed carts they acquired, it was just right for transporting these things and it would be more convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he underestimated the amount of looted goods. The 12 carts weren’t able to fit everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to open the crafting menu and start making more carts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, they would be useful in the future, so he might as well have them made now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Flatbed Cart: 22 Wood, 8 Hemp Ropes]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, only basic materials were required, and they were readily available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Construct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[100-fold Amplification Triggered: Successfully Constructed 101 Flatbed Carts]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the flatbed carts appeared one after another, the skeletons started to load goods onto the carts and tightly secured them with hemp ropes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao was eyeing this camp again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few ideas started coming to his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His advantage was the large number of skeletons that required no food or sleep and worked tirelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resources in the vicinity of his territory would eventually be depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was a decent stronghold. Once everything was in place, he could deploy a portion of the worker skeletons here for collection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warehouses and residences were already in place, so no additional construction was needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was lost in thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the goods had been loaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After boarding up the village gate, the majority of the forces left the Gnoll camp and headed back to their own territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the carts and the cargo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t cut through the forest like they did when they arrived, so they had to take the main road back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on the flatbed cart, resting on the fur blankets,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the Book of Lords to pass the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This damn stone axe is a piece of crap. It’s so slow at cutting trees, and it breaks after a few swings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop complaining. This is how it is now. Just gather more and upgrade your buildings quickly. You can also trade the surplus with Boss Hao for some food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such bad luck, I have a river near my territory. I made a net and I could catch a couple of fish every day, but today, when I went to check, I was nearly scared to death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A net full of bones! I hauled in the net and it was full of skeleton bones.
