Chapter 474 Receiving the Fear Rock

Things went more smoothly than Li Wei expected. When they entered the town, they did not encounter any decent resistance at all because there were no defenders in the town.

I don’t know how fierce the fight between the Dark Elves, Nurgle Demons, and Lizardmen was before, but the troops that tried to save Malus may have really been the last troops of the Dark Elves.

This resulted in that within a few minutes of entering the city, Levi had an additional title - Lord of Fear Rock. The whole process went incredibly smoothly.

But Li Wei is undoubtedly very satisfied, because the Dread Rock, which has been developed by the lizard people for hundreds of years, is also a real city.

In addition to basic buildings such as blacksmith shops and taverns, Dread Rock also has a large number of resource buildings, sawmills, mines, crystal mines, mercury refining rooms, etc., everything you need.

Even if you only sell resources, you can earn dozens of gold coins every day.

But compared to the many special buildings of the lizard people themselves, they seem so insignificant.

The spirit of Taibok is very good at taming dinosaurs, including carnivorous, herbivorous, flying, ground-running, and water-swimming dinosaurs.

And there are quite a lot of them, about 20 different types of dinosaur nests.

From then on, Levi could recruit four types of land dinosaurs: salamander, spinosaurus, wild triceratops, and wild ankylosaurus.

The salamander is an amphibious, crocodile-like swamp dinosaur.

They are born with a special corrosive mucus. When ejected from the esophagus, the mucus will catch fire within a few seconds after contacting the air.

Therefore, salamanders are one of the few dinosaurs that can eat cooked meat just by relying on their own abilities.

The remaining ones who can do this are basically sub-dragons with red dragon blood.

But their shortcomings are also very obvious. This attack, which is essentially similar to spitting, is basically only a few dozen meters away.

Spinosaurus looks like some oversized porcupines. Their bodies are covered with dense bone spurs, which are not only used to intimidate the enemy, but can also be fired like arrows.

Although the accuracy is not very good, the advantage is that they have enough thorns and the regeneration speed is extremely fast, so when the number increases to a certain level, the power is still very good.

Their biggest flaw, probably like the salamanders, is their relatively short range.

No matter how powerful their muscles are, the bone spurs they fire are far inferior to those of crossbows or muskets.

As far as Li Wei knew, the strongest Spinosaurus could hit a target 120 meters away.

But the maximum range of an ordinary Spinosaurus is basically only about 100 meters, and usually after 60 meters, the accuracy is not very impressive.

For Levi, who is a high elf, if the same number of troops are fighting on the plains, he can easily kill them with archers without any injuries.

But in an area with a lot of jungles like Dread Rock, they can barely be used.

Many complex terrains are not suitable for ordinary archers to shoot, but these two dinosaurs can often launch attacks more easily with their own talents.

And their output is also very good. As a Tier 4 unit, each building can produce about 10-15 heads per week. There are a total of 4 related buildings here, which is around 50 heads per week.

Levi plans to organize them all into patrol teams, just to be careful of salamander attacks and not to cause any forest fires.

Then comes the highlight of the show, the Triceratops.

As level 5 dinosaurs, their heads are covered with thick crests and huge spear-like horns, and their bodies are protected by bone scales and spikes. They have few opponents in the jungle.

They have rough skin and thick flesh, are very resistant to beatings, and have strong charging capabilities. However, they are also relatively docile in temperament and generally do not take the initiative to cause trouble.

Of course, if they really encounter trouble, they are absolutely not afraid of it.

More importantly, they are naturally very protective of small humanoids, which makes them very suitable as mounts and familiars.

The lizard people are accustomed to placing a huge platform on the back of the Triceratops, which can usually carry more than ten or twenty skin lizards, or place war equipment such as bed crossbows to move them on the spot. Levi also plans to do the same.

It's just that their output is a little less. There are 3 related buildings in total, but they can only produce 12 triceratops every week. It will obviously take some time to truly build a scale.

Next is the Ankylosaurus, a level 3 war beast.

Does it sound a little outrageous? Because other war beasts all start at level 5 at least.

For example, if a giant or sphinx is level 6 or level 7, that is normal.

A mere level 3 person, but he still dares to be called a giant war beast?

In fact, compared with other war beasts, Ankylosaurus is indeed defeated in terms of attack power and skills.

Especially regarding speed, calling them land turtles is an exaggeration, but they are indeed slow in terms of attack speed and movement speed.

Apart from the tail hammer, there are basically no attack methods.

But it is indeed listed as a war beast, and has been recognized by many God-chosen heroes.

Because its defense power is the best among level 4 human shields, with bone carapace, steel-like scales, and thick hard skin, it has at least three layers of defense, and its health value is close to 500.

For some elite or mutated Ankylosaurus, the defense and health may be further enhanced.

Based on these data alone, even if it stands still and allows other units of the same level to attack, the opponent does not know how long it will take to completely kill it.

At the same time, because the level is very low, the output of God-given buildings is very high.

Now there are six god-given buildings here, which can produce hundreds of heads every week.

It is unlikely to be used as the main force, but as cannon fodder, there are few things that are more cost-effective than those that can survive just by eating grass.

If they weren't like most dinosaurs, they tend to go crazy when exposed to blood or injuries, Levi thinks the value would be even higher.

But if you are a cannon fodder serving as a human shield, going crazy is not a big problem.

Of course, while having such outstanding features, they also have some obvious weaknesses.

The first is the speed, which is pitifully slow. Although it is almost impossible for enemies of the same level to kill them in a short time, they can be completely bypassed.

Moreover, mages, shooters, and some skilled thieves or warriors can kill them without taking any damage.

Secondly, it is difficult to recruit. You can basically only recruit them from lizardmen, and lizardmen are notoriously difficult to deal with.

If you are catching an Ankylosaurus in the wild, it really depends on your luck.

But for Li Wei now, this is no longer a problem at all.

Finally, there are the recruitment fees and daily food expenses, as well as the feeding problem of the Ankylosaurus.

It is nominally a Tier 3 unit, but the recruitment cost of Ankylosaurus is also relatively high among Tier 4 units, and they are really, really edible.

The weight of an ordinary Ankylosaurus exceeds 3 tons. After advancement, the size and weight will further expand. Larger ones can weigh 4-5 tons.

And they can eat a quarter of their own body weight in food every day, which is about two thousand kilograms.

But they were herbivorous dinosaurs. How much weight could ordinary vegetation weigh? This directly resulted in them spending most of their day eating.

The unit price of grass is very low, but the total quantity is too large, so the price is still not cheap, and it will undoubtedly be a very big test for the capacity of the space ring.

If it is grazing in the wild, then if there are basically dozens more ankylosaurs, the nearby grasslands will probably be eaten up the next day.

But for Li Wei, this aspect is not a big problem either.

The spirit of Taibok has specially tamed dinosaurs for hundreds of years, so naturally it has already thought about how to overcome these weaknesses.

There are three special buildings here dedicated to serving various dinosaurs.

The first one is the magic garden, which is called the garden. It is actually a large grassland with special magic grass planted in it.

They have no other function except that when they serve as food, one is worth hundreds of them.

Ankylosaurus may need two thousand kilograms of ordinary grass every day, but twenty kilograms of this magic grass is enough, which will undoubtedly save a lot of eating time.

Next was the insect breeding farm. Levi went to see it personally. Under the huge sealed dome, there was a deafening sound of wings flapping like a siren.

The insects inside are all giant, ranging from one foot to more than one meter.

There are all kinds of strange species, but basically they are not aggressive and just focus on growing taller and fleshier. They are cultivated as food.

Vegetarian dinosaurs such as Ankylosaurus and Triceratops usually eat vegetation as their main food, but they don't mind eating small insects in the grass to supplement their protein.

The spirit of Taibok specially made these giant insects and stuffed them into the grass.

With the ankylosaurs' basically non-existent intelligence, they can't tell the difference between the two, which can further reduce their daily eating time.

The nutritional value of giant insects is undoubtedly much higher than that of ordinary vegetation.

The smarter Triceratops could see that, but they didn't care.

The price is that these two special buildings require the continuous investment of various elemental crystals in order to function properly.

Otherwise, their catalytic effect on magic grass and giant insects will be severely limited.

In short, this is to spend money in exchange for the ankylosaurs having less time to eat and more time to fight.

For Li Wei, this is not a big problem.

Although the lizardmen have almost no desire for money, so they do not deliberately collect gold coins, etc., there are only a few thousand units of meat, insects, vegetation, etc. in the warehouse of Dread Rock.

But he is really not particularly short of money now. If he has no money, he can just sell some Death Guards.

Besides, the rich woman Khalida is right next to him. If he really needs money, he can just ask her.

Finally, there is the Beef Cattle Ranch. As the name suggests, this is a place dedicated to raising cattle and is used to feed many carnivorous dinosaurs.

Next is the pterosaur hatchery and the rhynchosaurus hatchery.

The pterosaur itself is very fragile and has almost nothing except speed.

But after a little training, they can become flying mounts.
