Chapter 40 Wither Monster

After placing the corpse of the petrified lizard, Tang Zhao went to Lilith's residence.

They don't live in a wooden house, but directly live in a tree. This tree is the body of the dryad. As long as the tree is still alive, they can remain young forever. When the tree is injured, they will also suffer together.

Lilith also knew how to talk to animals, and since Cynthia had a heavy burden of manipulating Fairy Dust today, Tang Zhao didn't bother her to be an interpreter, and came directly to talk to her.

[One of your demands has been resolved. Next, tell me in detail, what kind of creatures are the remaining enemies, and what the land I want looks like. 】

"Let's talk about your most concerned issue first. The land near the mountains is full of prey, and there are lakes and streams for water. There are not many threatening creatures in our position. Generally speaking, it is a more suitable place. "

In fact, Tang Zhao was most concerned about soil quality, traffic location, and development potential, but the tree spirit certainly didn't know that much, so he didn't ask too much.

[Sounds pretty good, I will do a field trip later, and take my kobolds with me, if there is no problem, then you can talk about the enemy. 】

Tang Zhao was so happy, Lilith didn't talk nonsense, nodded and began to introduce this time's enemy.

"A group of wither monsters should be wandering individuals gushing out from the depths of the mountains. No saplings of Ganthias trees have been found for the time being, but the risk cannot be completely ruled out."

Blight monsters are a general term for a class of plant monsters. They have the ability to move and a certain degree of intelligence, and they are a kind of activated plant.

Unlike Treants, legend has it that they originated from an extremely powerful vampire, and also inherited their master's dark and bloodthirsty personality.

With their activities, the surrounding woods will quickly decay, and the original plants will die quickly, and plants such as poisonous weeds and thorns will replace them, becoming an environment that is not suitable for most creatures to live in. At the same time, new wither monsters will be born. .

However, their own strength is not strong, the weaker ones are not much better than kobolds, and the stronger ones are not much stronger than adult human males.

In Tang Zhao's view, the Ganthias tree is a bit similar to the mother nest of Zerg in science fiction works, which will cause a large area of ​​withering and corruption, and at the same time, new wither monsters will continue to grow from the tree.

A mature Ganthias tree is a huge threat to any small settlement. A single or a small number of wither monsters are easy to deal with. A team of human mercenaries can clean up dozens or hundreds of them, but Ganthias After the tree matures, it can give birth to dozens or even dozens of wither monsters every day.

Just like an ant colony, a single ant is not very threatening, but if there are too many ants, I dare not say that it can kill an elephant, and it is easy to kill a beetle or a small snake.

After understanding the opponent's situation, Tang Zhao naturally began to discuss the countermeasures with Lilith.

[The dead branches are extremely flammable, do you mind attacking with fire?I have a few kobold warlocks who can fire arrows, and it is also a good idea to ask the goblins to use rockets. 】

"No, it will hurt the forest. Can you think of a softer way?"

The dryad's body is the tree, and of course, she cares more about the safety of the forest than ordinary fairies.

The goblin who agreed to Tang Zhao's fire attack before had a blood feud with the it monster, but now the dryad just thinks that the wither monster will pose a threat, which is not the same.

After thinking for a while, but there was no result, Tang Zhao simply proposed to interrupt the dialogue.

【I'm going to do a field trip so I can decide on tactics. 】

"No problem, the goblin patrol has been paying attention to the situation over there, and I will send someone to go with you in a while."
-
So far, no Gantias tree has been found, and the number of withered monsters is not too large, so this matter is not particularly difficult in Tang Zhao's view.

He was mainly investigating the environment this time, and a small group of kobolds followed behind him.

[You said that the location of minerals and water sources can be judged by the soil quality, show it to me. 】

The goblin flew into the air to map for him. During this time, he called the kobolds to quickly investigate the environment, while he himself was responsible for the security guard work.

More than a hundred meters ahead is a withered forest full of vines and thorns. Maybe those withered monsters will attack him, so it is necessary to be careful.

"Boss, we can't dig deep holes now, so we can only have a rough idea. Due to the terrain, the groundwater level here is not high. As for minerals, we can be sure that there must be some nearby, but we can't say the exact amount. "

The kobold moved very neatly, and gave Tang Zhao a reply in five or six minutes.

The address for him was a bit strange, but it was barely acceptable, so Tang Zhao didn't bother to correct him.

[Can you do things like living near here and digging caves? 】

"As long as you can provide us with strong enough tools, that's absolutely fine. Our skill at digging holes is no worse than that of any creature."

Toby spoke with confidence. After all, this is a track that the kobolds have cultivated for countless generations, and it is also one of the few places where they are confident.
