Lu Ming ventured deeper into the forest, his keen senses picking up signs of life around him. Suddenly, a deep roar echoed, alerting him to a nearby presence. Moments later, a creature emerged from the bushes: a **Giant Sauron**, a colossal beast with green scales, sharp fangs, and menacing claws. The Giant Sauron was known for its formidable strength and aggression.
Without hesitation, Lu Ming activated his Abyssal Dragon ability and prepared for battle. The fight began with a rapid exchange of blows. Lu Ming used his sharp claws with precision, dodging the beast's brutal attacks. His movements were agile and calculated, each strike pushing the Giant Sauron back. Finally, with a decisive blow, Lu Ming pierced the heart of the beast, finishing it off.
Once the Giant Sauron lay defeated on the ground, Lu Ming inspected the corpse. Carefully, he stored it in his inventory for future use. He knew that every resource could be useful for his mission.
With the monster's body secured, Lu Ming headed back to the altar. He knew it was time to use the gold coins he had earned to summon assistance. Arriving at the altar, now calm and still, he accessed the summoning system and chose the **Dragonscale Worker** option. A portal opened at the altar, and three figures emerged. Each was a Worker Dragonian, equipped with tools such as hoes and axes.
"Master!" the Draconians exclaimed, bowing in respect.
These lesser Draconians, unlike Lu Ming, did not possess sharp claws or imposing scales. They were more like lizardmen, standing just over two meters tall, with fangs and an intimidating presence, though less prominent compared to Lu Ming.
The system displayed the statistics for the new Worker Draconians:
**[Worker Dragonian]:**
- **HP:** 15
- **MP:** 15
- **Strength:** 2
- **Resistance:** 2
- **Agility:** 1
- **Collection:** Level 2
- **Construction:** Level 2
- **Smithing:** Level 1
- **Hunting:** Level 1
- **Loyalty:** 100% (Locked)
These Draconians were skilled in collection and construction. Although they couldn't compete with warriors in combat, they were very effective at cutting wood, gathering herbs, and performing basic construction and smithing tasks. However, one of their drawbacks was their high food consumption.
Fortunately, Lu Ming was in a resource-rich area. He decided to take advantage of this and brought out the corpse of the Giant Sauron he had previously hunted. "You handle this food," he ordered the Draconians.
The three Draconians set to work, following his instructions efficiently. They started a fire and began processing the meat of the Sauron, preparing it for consumption. The air soon filled with the delicious aroma of roasted meat.
One group of the Draconians headed to the Dark Forest to harvest, chop wood, and hunt to meet the basic daily needs of the territory, as well as gather wood for construction. The remaining Draconians focused on repairing the nearby ruins, creating farmlands, and building defenses to protect the Demon King's Altar and the territory as a whole.
Lu Ming watched with satisfaction as the Draconians worked diligently. Their efforts would not only improve the infrastructure of his base but also ensure the territory's self-sufficiency. Soon, the area around the altar was bustling with activity and progress.
Smiling with contentment, Lu Ming grabbed a piece of roasted Sauron meat and began eating. Though the meat was unseasoned, its fresh and delicious flavor surpassed even the highest quality beef.
"This place is truly great," Lu Ming thought as he savored the meat. The first step towards restoring his empire was underway, and with the Worker Draconians by his side, he was closer to achieving his goals.
With the first battle behind him and the promise of more challenges ahead, Lu Ming prepared to continue his mission, knowing that the upcoming trials would require both cunning and strength
