Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Negris no longer had the mood to pay attention to other things, it pounced forward, its short claws clutching here and there, gripping Ange’s bones, then his ribs, anxiously asking, “What did you do? How did you do it? The scales! Where are the scales?”

Ange looked down and suddenly realized that the scale belonging to Brooks, which had previously lodged in his rib, was gone. However, the patch on his rib was a bit brighter, as if it had been stained by the scale. Apparently, the scale had merged with Ange’s rib.

“How did you do it? Dragon God Transformation, why could you perform the Dragon God Transformation? What did you do? Speak to me, come on.” Negris shook Ange urgently, causing his bones to clatter.

“I didn’t do anything, I transform into Steadfast Bone, it moved, I looked at it, and saw a brass-colored person with dragon horns.” Ange answered, pausing between phrases.

By “it”, he was referring to the scale. When Ange used the Ultimate Transformation Technique to become Steadfast Locke, the scale showed him the image of a Gold Dragon Giant, or maybe it should be called a Copper Dragon Giant. Then for some unknown reason, he transformed into a Copper Dragon Giant himself.

Of course, Ange’s words could not ease Negris’ confusion anymore, and it got so anxious that it scratched its head frantically. The Dragon God Transformation, the legendary magic which allows one to transform back into a Dragon God that the Dragon Clan had been pursuing for countless years without success, had suddenly presented itself before its eyes.

Although Negris was not completely sure whether the Copper Dragon Giant was a Dragon God, no matter what, it was exactly the same as the figure passed down through their bloodline.

But it also made Negris feel a little bit frustrated. If Ange could hold the Dragon God form for fifteen seconds while he could only hold the Steadfast Locke form for ten seconds, doesn’t it mean that Steadfast Locke is even stronger than the Dragon God from the legends?

Impossible, something must have gone wrong.

At that moment, a huge cloud of dust rose in the distance. Amidst the thick layer of dust, Little Angel flapped its wings and took to the sky, its wings stirring up the dust on the ground.

Little Zombie also popped out from nearby, groaning at Little Angel.

Little Angel immediately flew over and started to circle around Little Zombie, continuously adjusting its flight angle, causing the dust to billow towards Little Zombie.

“Ahh!” Little Zombie pointed angrily at it.

“Aah!” Little Angel flew higher, continuing to cause the dust to rise.

While the two little ones were messing around, the dust on the ground was completely stirred up, revealing something golden underneath.

Negris took a quick glance and muttered, “It seems like we have struck it rich, we have unearthed a treasure trove. How did you do it? Are there other details? You don’t have any Dragon Clan bloodline, how could you undergo the Dragon God Transformation simply by using a scale of Brooks? Ah, it’s not really a Dragon God Transformation, it’s changing into a Dragon God using the Ultimate Transformation Technique. Is this possible? Shouldn’t you have transformed into Brooks?”

Even a basement full of gold couldn’t attract Negris’ attention at that moment.

Crash! With a massive sound, a figure smashed through the roof and dropped in. While in mid-air, it swung something above its head, severing whatever was hanging there. Just before hitting the ground, it skillfully flipped and stood firm on the ground.

Just as it had stabilized, another loud crash echoed out. Another figure smashed through the roof and started to drop, but then it suddenly stopped halfway, suspended in mid-air by something.

“Quick, save me, Lily, I’m stuck.” The figure hanging in mid-air called out urgently.

Lily, who had just steadied herself on the ground, sighed helplessly, covering her mouth and nose as she threw a couple of iron pieces, easily cutting the rope that was padding the hanging figure.

“I told you not to follow me, you’re just getting in the way.”

“No, I can’t let you take this risk alone. If we’re going to die, I want to die with you.”

“I don’t want to die with you. I’m going to get the Earth Hammer, return safely, collect the reward, then use the bounty to buy lots and lots of food.”

“Okay, okay, we’ll go back together. If there’s danger, let the bugs eat me and you run.”

“Are you crazy?”

“Yes, I’m crazy. You are my sanity, without you, I’m insane.”

From the moment they crashed in, Little Angel and Little Zombie stopped messing around. However, the dust they had stirred up had effectively hidden the presence of others in the room.

From their conversation, Negris realized that these two people were bounty hunters. Someone on the black market had put a bounty on the Earth Hammer, whoever could retrieve it would be rewarded with a million Magic Crystals.

To retrieve the Earth Hammer, they will have to go to the Insect Disaster Outbreak Center, which would make many pale at just the thought of it. But these two treasure hunters have a special technique, they have wings, and they’re even able to accommodate two people.

Their companion would transport them over the Black Mountain King’s Court by air, from where they would parachute down to the King’s Court with pinpoint accuracy.

Furthermore, they also have insect-repelling powder. When sprinkled on their bodies, it ensures they won’t be approached by insects for a short period of time.

“Insect-repelling powder? There’s such a thing? Humans have quite a few methods to deal with bugs, huh.” Negris muttered, then nudged Ange, “Quick, hide the hammer.”

Now that the transformation effect had faded, Ange could no longer hold the hammer. However, with great effort, he managed to raise it a little bit, and that was just enough to put the death shroud underneath, and then quietly withdrew to a corner with the hammer wrapped up.

Little Zombie and Little Angel also quietly retreated to hide.

After searching around the room for a while, the two bounty hunters naturally couldn’t find the hammer, only discovering the treasury.
