Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Beastmen Never Slaves part 2
2/2
Kitsune didn't understand why the curse of the dungeon could help her get rid of the suppression from the black collar on her neck. That was something to consider later. Right now, she was like a patient who had been bedridden with broken legs for a long time and suddenly recovered. Kitsune just wanted to run freely.
In the current scenario, it meant going all out, desperately wanting to fight and brawl.
Crack crack
At that moment, the sound of bones grinding against each other echoed at the entrance of the Dungeon's maze.
The monsters arranged by Reji, one after another skeleton soldier, crawled out of the damp maze room and began to roar and attack the group of adventurers from the Animal Gang.
Why were there undead creatures here?
The white-haired woman, whose spirits were high and battle-ready, seemed to directly ignore this question. She crouched slightly, bending her knees, and in the next moment, she shot out like an arrow released from a bow, directly charging at the three or four gatekeeper skeletons designed by Reji.
Judging from the white-haired woman's appearance, she should be of the fox clan.
But now, when Reji watched Kitsune's fighting style, directly punching one skeleton after another, there was no trace of a delicate little fox.
After unleashing her beastman bloodline, Kitsune's strength was even more ferocious than in the previous battle with the Bloody Hand Gang. The low-level skeletons couldn't withstand her punches at all, shattering like glass with a single touch from Kitsune.
The entire process took less than ten seconds. The group of skeletons at the entrance of the maze had all turned into bone frames scattered on the ground.
After the monsters were eliminated, there naturally had to be a corresponding treasure chest.
Giving timely feedback rewards like this was the only way to attract adventurers to continue exploring step by step.
As the dungeon designer, Reji of course also followed tradition.
The ground shimmered with light, and a slightly crude wooden box appeared at the location of the monsters' corpses. Kitsune, who was still not satisfied, curiously opened it and found a bottle of red water inside.
Awesome.
Having something to drink after a fight was really nice.
Without much thought, Kitsune directly opened it and gulped down the entire bottle. Afterwards, she even licked the corners of her mouth, seeming to enjoy it very much, clearly not treating it as a treasure that should have been handed over to Reji.
"…"
Reji had specifically chosen to place the truly high-concentration, completely "red" [Healing Potion] at the beginning, thinking of giving the Syndicate people a little shock.
After all, a thousand years later, the [Healing Potions] commonly available on the market had all turned green, with a concentration possibly not even reaching 10%, inferior to the point of no return.
As a result...
Forget it, they are beastmen after all, understandable.
Although Kitsune didn't discover the preciousness of the red water, it didn't hinder her passion for further exploration. Many people from the Animal Gang were also eager to give it a try, rubbing their fists and palms.
Although they didn't change as much as Kitsune, the suppression of the black collars had weakened more or less for all of them. They all showed some signs of reverting back to their beastman forms.
Kitsune took the lead and charged into the depths of the dungeon. Behind her, the beastmen of the Animal Gang followed their boss and began to conquer the dungeon floor by floor in an almost brutally forceful manner.
The simplest skeleton soldiers couldn't put any pressure on them. Without Kitsune's intervention, an ordinary Animal Gang member, a single beastman, could easily take down four or five skeletons without any problem.
The Animal Gang advanced with high spirits, and even when they entered the Ghoul area, their pace didn't slow down in the slightest.
Ghouls, as mid-level undead around level twenty, already had strength comparable to third-tier human warriors. However, at this moment, their claws and fangs seemed to have lost their effect, unable to even break through the rough skin of the beastmen.
In front, Kitsune's right-hand men, probably the second and third in command of the Animal Gang, the dog-faced man and the crocodile head, were now fighting more fiercely than the ghouls. They directly grabbed the ghoul's legs with their big hands and used the ghoul, which weighed as much as a lion, as a sandbag, tossing it around.
Under the beastmen's hands, the ghouls were repeatedly slammed heavily on the ground, making them dizzy and disoriented, as if they were all dazed. Later, their heads were even chopped to pieces by an axe, dying in an extremely miserable and violent manner.
Reji, who had been quietly observing, nodded his head. The strength of these beastmen seemed to be quite a bit stronger than the elves before coming to the demon tower.
The black collars on their necks hadn't been completely removed yet, but they already displayed a level of at least thirty or forty.
As a continued test, Reji slightly manipulated behind the scenes and prematurely released the "Berserk Ghoul" as an elite monster.
When this all-red ghoul appeared, initially, the beastmen of the Animal Gang didn't notice its specialty and still wanted to violently solve it according to their previous fighting style.
However, this time, the Berserk Ghoul's claw, without any fear of the beastmen, directly slapped back, immediately sending several beastmen flying.
The Berserk Ghoul, taking advantage of its victory, its entire body turning an even more intense crimson red, as a strength-specialized creature, its corpse muscles bulged. It leaped high into the air and fiercely pounced towards the beastmen it had sent flying, ready to tear into their bodies.
At this moment, another white figure rushed in from another direction, kicking the ghoul in mid-air and saving several beastmen.
Afterwards, the beastmen finally realized that this slightly larger, all-red ghoul was not to be trifled with, but they were not afraid. Instead, they spontaneously began to form an encirclement, taking on a hunting formation.
Beastmen were not brainless. On the contrary, they had invested all their points into combat, possessing extremely strong comprehension and insight talents in battle.
Even without the intervention of their leader Kitsune, these few beastmen, after probing the Berserk Ghoul a few times, keenly noticed its weakness. After the opponent activated its "Berserk" skill, there would be a brief window of opportunity before the next "Berserk".
Therefore, the beastmen immediately divided their roles clearly. Some acted as bait, some secretly gathered strength, and some calculated the timing. After successfully luring out the ghoul's Berserk skill, taking advantage of the window of opportunity, the beastmen swarmed up the next moment and quickly dismembered the elite monster.
This performance made Reji's evaluation of them rise quite a bit.
Similarly, from the surprised expression on Vielsia's face beside Reji, it was evident that even the elves couldn't help but be amazed by the beastmen's combat talent.
After all, the Berserk Ghoul was a level 35-36 monster, and a specialized one at that. If released, Reji estimated that it could even slaughter Ilinor's Royal Knight Regiment without any chance of retaliation.
Vielsia also imagined in her heart that if their elven guards, without the intervention of the Grand Elder, relying solely on ordinary elven warriors, wanted to subdue this Berserk Ghoul, they would probably have to pay a considerable price to kill it.
But now, just with the exquisite cooperation between three to five beastmen, they easily killed such a high-level ghoul...
Thinking of this, Vielsia looked at Reji beside her.
From Reji's current appreciative expression, Vielsia had already understood what he was thinking.
Indeed, Since he had discovered such a useful combat force, there was no reason not to bring them under his command.
Now, both the demon race and the elf race had the same problem.
The strength was concentrated at the top, with a cliff-like gap in the middle and lower levels.
Reji's use of the "Atlas" to create nature-based monsters was a slight fill for this aspect, but monsters were ultimately monsters. He still needed to have a batch of formal combat units to replace the "dark side" of the demon race and carry out various military activities.
Previously, Reji had thought of creating a group of his own elite legion forces among humans.
But now…
Wasn't there a ready-made one right in front of me?
The valiant and combat-skilled beastmen were undoubtedly the most suitable for this position.
Considering further into the future layout.
If that traitor had indeed been guarding against the demon race all along.
Stealing the various authorities and weapons he had as the "Hero", each of them was highly targeted against the demon race. The most recent example was the "Holy Sword". As long as the target was the demon race, it had a special bonus.
So from that moment, when he wielded the Holy Sword on the Old King's Tower, Reji had this idea.
Targeting the demon race?
The demon race was naturally suppressed when facing the "Hero"?
No problem.
Could the "Hero" simultaneously target other races as well?
Elves, beastmen, and if there were other races in the future, I want them all!
The demon race conquering the world.
Why did it have to be the demon race?
With this thought of "all-race atlas" firmly in mind, when Reji now looked at Kitsune, this beastman chieftain leader, the white-haired and white-tailed woman, and the rest of the Animal Gang, his gaze changed.
Vielsia beside him recognized this gaze of her teacher.
It was exactly the same as when he had taken her away back then.
Could it be that teacher was going to fabricate an identity again, then approach, and then...
No, no, no.
"…"
Reji shook his head at Vielsia instead.
After all, beastmen were not as fussy and troublesome as elves.
"Vielsia, do you know, there has always been a very classic saying about beastmen."
"Beastmen never become slaves, unless they are provided with food and shelter."
Reji lightly gestured towards the dark part of the dungeon, and the Sorcerer Demons in charge of assisting in the management of the dungeon immediately understood. Soon, on the corpse of the Berserk Ghoul, a dazzling golden light appeared, instantly attracting the attention of the Animal Gang beastmen.
When the light dissipated, there was a glittering, extremely luxurious golden treasure chest, completely different from the previous wooden and copper chests. It had complex and profound patterns, shining beautifully like gold.
Just looking at this golden chest, it seemed to have an endless attraction. The slightly half-open gap of the chest emitted a rich magical fluctuation. Through the gap, one could vaguely see the traces of a weapon. Those gorgeous halos seemed to emanate from this powerful weapon.
I will not only lure them with food and shelter.
If I also took out an epic-level weapon, how would you respond, miss foxy~
