Chapter 171: Heroes: An Daoquan, Meng Kang
“Ms. Su!
“Chief An applied for ten pieces of Black Mud. Also, he wanted to study the Eagle Men’s deluding incense.
“On the other hand, Chief Meng said that the chainsaw was out of power. He applied for a piece of Silver Liquid to recharge it.”
At this moment, a soldier came in and reported to Su Nongying.
Chief An and Chief Meng were the two heroes from Water Margin that were summoned to the Twin Dragon Mount fort in the past two days!
[An Daoquan]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-5]
[Rarity: Commander]
[Description:
[Title: Earthly Spirit Star.
[Nickname: Godly Doctor.
[He is one of the 108 chiefs on Liangshan and the leader of the medics camp. He knows all diseases and is best at treating physical wounds!]
A lot of people were wounded in the battle against the Eagle Men. While Ji Ye had the Healing talent, the skill had a cooldown period, so he couldn’t treat all of them on his own.
Therefore, after much deliberation, he chose to summon this “medical” hero with the offering that contained Sweet Dew from a Commander Eagle Man.
Because of the offering, An Daoquan was given the ability to accelerate the growth of herbs like the Sweet Dew could.
Although he was only an Excellent hero, An Daoquan was technically as good as a Superior one.
It was because while An Daoquan was only listed among the 72 Earthly Fiends, he definitely had great capabilities to be called “Godly Doctor”.
His ending in Water Margin was much better than everybody else from Liangshan. After they surrendered, he was specifically hired by the emperor and became a royal doctor that was much more respected than regular doctors.
In fact, the poetic announcement when he arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount already indicated his brilliant medical skills.
“He has a hundred excellent recipes. He learns acupuncture from his master. His name is An Daoquan, and even Bian Que cannot compare to him.”
That’s right. An Daoquan was not only good at acupuncture and traditional medicine but also at surgery, which many people thought that the ancient doctors of Chidragon weren’t capable of at all!
Besides, as a famous doctor, An Daoquan was very good at preparing medicines.
He had the ability to analyze the plants and ores in the fort and use them as medicines.
For example, apart from treating the patients, An Daoquan was also studying the deluding incense, which the Eagle Men released to kill human beings only to be exposed because of the fragrance and blown back to themselves by Gongsun Sheng. He was planning to remove the fragrance in it and turn it into a real fatal weapon!
Apart from the doctor, there was another non-combative hero who had been summoned!
[Meng Kang]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-4]
[Rarity: Commander]
[Description:
[Title: Earthly Completion Star.
[Nickname: Jade Flagpole.
[He is one of the 108 chiefs from Liangshan and is best at crafting warships of various sizes!]
Yes, the second hero was a shipwright.
After the Eagle Men were defeated, the fog that loomed above the battlefield of the ten races finally dispersed, and the Twin Dragon Mount fort was finally able to figure out their environment.
Exactly as they speculated, they were on an island.
Since they were on an island, they had to take ships into consideration.
In terms of ships, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had great advantages.
The overflowing metals in the Metal Men’s territory were enough to build ten aircraft carriers.
However, since they didn’t have a complete industrial system yet, metal warships might not be the best choice.
In comparison, the red wood from the Forest Monsters was actually more suitable as ship materials.
It was because such wood could absorb cannonball blast and resist fire, and it could heal itself under the control of the Heart of Red Wood. Considering the amalgamation of monsters in the sea, the ships that could repair themselves were definitely more suitable than simple metal warships.
Besides, the red wood was so high that one of those trees was enough to build a warship more than fifty meters long.
“Master, I believe we can build warships with something else!”
After Meng Kang, who looked like a flagpole because he was extremely thin and tall and had fair skin, was summoned, he proposed another option that was even better than red wood warships, which was to build a Mirage Dragon warship!
The offering that summoned Meng Kang wasn’t dropped by the Eagle Men, but instead, it was the Excellent offering that the fake Mirage Dragon dropped when Ji Ye destroyed the Mirage Monsters’ settlement earlier.
Now that Ji Ye thought of it, the skeleton of the Mirage Dragon in the Mirage Monsters’ territory that was almost complete was clearly the best material for a ship.
After all, the Mirage Dragon appeared as a Mirage Dragon on the upper half body and a Mirage Monster on the lower half body, and it was dozens of meters long.
Its lower half body, which was like a giant clam, was extremely hard and the best material for a bilge. Even the large sea beasts couldn’t possibly destroy it. Also, the bones on the Mirage Dragon that were meters long could totally support the body of the ship too!
More importantly, as the bones from a Transcendent creature, they still had amazing abilities even though the Mirage Dragon had been dead for a long time.
For example, the ship could become invisible when it was still.
When the ship was moving, it could be boosted by the white light. Ji Ye and the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Battalion who had melted with mirage-type offerings could even control the mirage and create a fog or a bunch of illusionary warships!
It was not hard to imagine that a Mirage Dragon warship with those functions could easily suppress all the aliens and monsters on the sea!
It was actually one of the reasons why Meng Kang chose to arrive at the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
Other settlements might have been able to offer Excellent offerings too, but not every settlement had ship materials that boasted Transcendent power. Besides, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had huge potential.
Furthermore, Meng Kang was not just a shipwright but also a general of the navy.
In the original novel, he died together with Ruan Xiaoer when they marched against Fang La.
Therefore, the navy of the Twin Dragon Mount fort had a “deputy commander” now.
However, neither An Daoquan nor Meng Kang was the hero that Ji Ye intended to leave behind to defend the base. It would be the hero that was to be summoned in the next ritual!
