Chapter 34 - Perfect ambush ... (2)

My dungeon exploration team containing 5 skeleton troops : 2 skeleton soldiers, 2 skeleton archers and a skeleton rider brought the unconcious Viktor and Elaine out of the dungeon.

The pair were not tied securely as there lacked materials inside the dungeon. So the first thing I made my skeletons do after coming out of the dungeon was to tie their hands and legs securely in a wooden stick.

After tying them four of my skeleton carried them in their shoulder and started walking towards me. Tying them in stick looked somewhat comical. It looked like a pair of unfortunate pigs that were caught and tied in a stick about to get roasted whole for a party.

My skeleton troops approached the place that I had selected to welcome my guests and cautiously put the two of them down. I even made the skeletons prepare a cushion made up of soft leaves so that our guests do not feel discomfort while sitting there. Treating guests with utmost respect and care was a lesson etched into my DNA. Now the only thing left was to wake them up and ask some questions.

Interrogating two heavily people tied to a stick and laid on ground was a easy task but no one knows the future so we have to prepare for everything in advance. There is nothing as being too much prepared.

What would happen if they woke up, suddenly recovered their strength and attacked me with their full force? It would be hard for me subdue them again. It wasnt that I could not subdue them but why create a unecessary hassle when things could go at ease. So I made two skeleton archers stay behind while other three went to their previous job of exploring the dungeon.

Arrival of Viktor and Elaine looking for dungeon prompted me to finish conquering the dungeon sooner than expected. I had to fully utilize my skeletons and conquer the dungeon as soon as possible as I didn't know how many maps were there.

If Viktor and Elaine came here searching for the dungeon, there was no gurantee that others would not come. So hitting the root of the problem,the dungeon, was my best shot at stopping others from coming here. I did not want to reveal myself to others for now.

I had to gain as much as I could from Viktor and Elaine. I had to learn about the situation of other humans as creating a group with others could provide me a better chance of survival later on. And it has been always proved that humans utilize their potential to the fullest when working in a group.

The increase in vitality after coming to this planet had increased by about 10 times. Such deathly injuries healed before my eyes in just matter of hours. The injuries inflicted to pair had healed completely but yet to open their eyes.

I waited patiently as my skeleton rider was also about to be incubated which meant my dungeon exploration team would have 6 members now. A pair of each type of skeleton. If I could steadily incubate skeleton fruits, an army of skeletons ready to do anything under my command would not remain a thing to just dream about.

A slight movement came from Elaine as I was immersed in my own thoughts. I stopped thinking other things and started thinking of ways to introduce myself to the guests. It was nonetheless my first human encounter and I did not want any awkward atmosphere to be created.

They were the first humans I was going to interact with after coming to this god forsaken place. It had just been 4 days but already felt like years had passed. Seeing a fellow human being had already become 2nd best thing happened to me, the best being meeting bird beast.
