Demitrija swiftly approached the sleeping giant troll.

Clenching his longsword high above his head.

Thud!

His blade sliced across the troll’s throat, and with a pop! The snot bubble popped, and the troll’s head rolled off.

Blood gushed out, and the troll’s eyes widened as it watched its body increasingly move away.

“Master, we can continue on,” Demitrija quietly said, stepping on the rolling head.

This proved that the location might have once been a fortress.

But now it was occupied by these one-eyed trolls, their lair.

“Hmm, continue forward. There should be more trolls below,” Fang Hao said.

“Yes.”

Demitrija waved his hand again, and the skeleton troops continued to move forward.

The stone steps went on, leading downwards where all sorts of weapons and armor were strewn about on the platform.

The size of the equipment indicated they were meant for humans.

It seemed that quite a few humans had arrived here before Fang Hao and his crew.

However, their outcomes were not very good.

After walking down for a few more minutes, they saw the end of the stairs leading to a suddenly vast stone wall.

A hall must be just ahead.

Simultaneously, in the hall, they could faintly hear the boisterous voices of trolls.

Demitrija looked at Fang Hao, who gave a slight nod.

Demitrija took a deep breath. Light blue energy gathered around his neck, and then he breathed out a thick mist that rapidly spread out.

This was Demitrija’s incredibly useful skill, ‘Misty Sky’.

The mist was most effective in enclosed places, lasting for an extended period.

The sudden appearance of the mist created considerable chaos amongst the trolls below, as angry roars echoed.

“Why is there fog all of a sudden? I can’t see.”

“Enemies! Grab your weapons and get ready for battle.”

“Where’s my weapon? Who has seen my weapon?”

“Ouch! This is a wall, ouch! This is also a wall… Damn it, I’m trapped.”

The trolls were in utter chaos. Fang Hao and the rest observed from the stairs, hearing the loud yells of the trolls but not one managed to find the correct path and storm out.

“Kill!” Without further waiting, Demitrija issued the command to his skeleton soldiers to charge into the mist.

He swung his sword and severed a troll’s leg, sending the creature sprawling forward.

“Ah!” Just as the giant troll cried out in pain, Demitrija swiftly switched his sword and stabbed up from below into its chest.

A generous amount of blood sprayed out.

It was so close that the troll could clearly glimpse the face of his enemy.

With its last breath, it called out, “They are lizardmen, they are lizardmen.”

However, its words were immediately corrected by other trolls, “They are undead, I saw them clearly, they are white bones.”

The trolls were arguing while fighting.

The entire hall was in as much chaos as a marketplace.

In the center area.

A one-eyed troll, clad in heavy armor, swung his giant metal wolf fang club around.

The whining wind it created cleared the surrounding fog slightly.

But the clarity was temporary. Once the wind passed, the fog would again obscure his vision.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

With another swing, the fog diminished, and a golden-armored figure suddenly appeared before him.

From the large tail exposed from behind the figure, it was clear it was a lizardman.

“Despicable reptile, you think relying on these lowly tactics will allow you to defeat us?” The troll roared with rage and swung his black metal wolf fang club directly at the lizardman.

Clang!

A sharp metallic ringing resounded.

A wave of force rapidly spread from the lizardman at the center, causing the layers of fog to churn.

The immense rebounding force left the troll’s hands numb.

He could not believe that despite his superior strength and size, he was directly confronted by a small lizardman.

“You cannot possibly defeat me with strength,” the troll roared, lifting his Wolf Fang Club to smash down on the lizardman again.

But as the Wolf Fang Club fell, the lizardman pivoted on his feet and evaded the head-on strike by leaning to the side.

The Wolf Fang Club hit the ground heavily.

The longsword in the lizardman’s hand flicked upwards instantaneously, a cold gleam cutting through the troll’s wrist.

Clang!!

The Wolf Fang Club and both arms fell to the ground together.

The troll wanted to shriek, to roar.

But the moment he opened his mouth, the lizardman leaped high again, driving his longsword through the troll’s mouth.

He whimpered in agony.

Twenty minutes later, the mist began to gradually dissipate.

The fight in the hall was nearing its end.

When Demitrija finally killed a one-eyed troll, the battle completely ended.

Fang Hao descended the steps and started to survey the space.

The walls on both sides were neatly chiseled, with animal skin mats used by trolls for sleep and some messy living utensils lying around.

It seemed that the trolls had been settled here for a long time.

In the central area of the hall, a makeshift wooden table was set up with small cloth bags on it.

There were as many as twelve.

Fang Hao walked forward, “Open the sacks.”

A Barren Tomb Guard stepped forward, placed his white steel giant sword diagonally against the wall, and picked up a sack to open.

He poured it onto the table.

Clang!

A ruby the size of a thumb fell onto the table and rolled around.

[Ruby]

[Category: Ore]

(Description: An otherwise useless ore that is used to attract mates.)

Assured that there was nothing dangerous or nauseating in the sacks, Fang Hao touched each one, finding them hard.

He opened each one and shook out their contents onto the table; indeed, they were all multicolored gemstones.

Have trolls started studying gemstones too?” Anjia came over from behind.

The dress of the one-eyed troll was still very simple.

A fur simply wrapped around the body served as clothes.

It was somewhat reminiscent of ancient western clothing styles, where hanging a curtain on the body was considered being dressed.

“They bagged the gemstones separately, it looks like they were planning to sell them outside.” Fang Hao had collected all the gemstones.

What they were planning to do was no longer important. Now these were his.

The goldsmiths had arrived at the stage of selecting gemstone jewelry. He could bring these back for them.

Thud!

With a muffled sound, two skeleton trolls carried a silver chest and threw it at Fang Hao’s feet.

Blood was accumulating on the stone chamber floor. When they threw the chest down, the bright red blood splattered everywhere.

Open it!
