Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 290

"Why did you accept this mission?" Falk asked with raised brows while walking beside a huge wagon.

"The payment is okay," Kyle said, "but I think it would also help you guys. You haven't been to the peninsula, right?"

Michael and Falk nodded, while Lily just snorted.

"Still, one Ether Stone per person for a two-day mission is a bit small," Falk said.

"View it as experience," Kyle said with a smirk. "Also, we might find some valuable ore. Not everything is filled with mines there. We might stumble upon some ore that's just lying there."

Falk sighed. "You're the boss."

Kyle just smiled.

Right now, team Sandstorm was guarding three huge wagons.

The wagons were part of a caravan entering the peninsula.

However, this was not a normal traveling caravan that visited different Cradles.

In fact, it wouldn't visit a single one.

"Do we have the Skysand maps?" Kyle shouted to the person controlling the beast pulling the first wagon.

"Yes," the man answered.

"Good!" Kyle said.

As soon as the caravan traveled out of the Big Bazaar, Falk, Michael, and Lily saw the peninsula for the first time.

"Wow, a bunch of sand," Falk commented sarcastically. "Who would've thought?"

"This is not a bunch of sand," Kyle said. "This is a bunch of opportunities!"

"Well, I have a bunch of opportunities in my boots right now," Falk said, shaking one of his feet.

Kyle just laughed and looked at Lily. "It's time for you to go wild."

Lily just snorted.

Then, ten golems with feet and ten flying golems all charged away from the secured path.

The people in the caravan looked at the golems with worry.

They just hoped that they wouldn't attract any unwanted attention.

The caravan continued traveling for around two hours before the first golems returned.

Within the next hour, the ten flying golems all returned, but only six out of the ten ground golems returned.

"The remainder is dead?" Kyle asked.

"Destroyed," Lily said. "They are not alive."

"Did you get what you wanted?" Kyle asked.

Two of the golems had returned with a bunch of ore, but the remainder came back empty-handed.

At most, the haul was worth 20 Ether Stones.

Meanwhile, Lily lost almost an entire Ether Gem's worth of golems.

"Yes," Lily said as she focused on the flying golems.

Lily's main purpose of sending out the golems was not to find valuables.

It was to gather combat information. The best way to optimize a golem's logic was to test it against similarly powerful and more powerful opponents.

Human combat data was easy to acquire. Lily just needed to pay a couple of people to fight her golems. Correct content is on freew.ebno(v)e\l.(c)om.

However, beast combat data was not easy to acquire.

After all, hunting a ton of beasts without a hunting license was illegal, and programming the golems to follow all the rules of a hunting license needed an unnecessary amount of programming.

They would need to have ways to differentiate different beasts, which required the inclusion of more modules for sensing.

On top of that, they needed to learn how to properly break down a corpse and deliver the valuables to the Hunter Guild.

Even more, there were many beasts they were not allowed to hunt.

All of this would make the production of every golem more expensive, and the information gathering wouldn't be very efficient.

But on the peninsula, the rules were not as strict.

People were allowed to basically hunt anything as long as it was not a lot weaker than them.

The ground golems had been fighting the enemies, while the flying golems were recording the information.

Usually, Lily would come here on her own from time to time, but there was a potential issue.

Some of the beasts were quite smart and would follow the golems back to their source.

At that point, Lily might need to fight a Late Ferocious Beast, which would most likely kill her.

Because of that, she had to be extremely careful when it came to gathering information on the peninsula.
