“Well, let’s go in!
As soon as he finished speaking, Assam stepped into the gate first.
Baymax follows closely behind.
Then, there were Rhaenys, Brot, and two centaur warriors.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, on the other hand, were sitting on the crawler robot and walking at the back.
A group of people entered the passage in a mighty manner.
This is also Cao Xing’s confidence.
He believes that with his current strength, he is enough to deal with the dangers encountered inside.
Tread…tap…
The sound of dense footsteps of a group of people was heard, as well as the sound of crawler robots running over masonry.
Cao Xing discovered that where they were now was a masonry passage.
And as it goes deeper, the space becomes much larger, able to accommodate two large whites.
Cao Xing started to look around.
This look really made him see some good things.
On both sides of the passage, there were several burning candlesticks.
These candle holders look gorgeous with a golden glow.
Seeing the golden light above, Cao Xing’s bad habit of picking wool came back again.
“Assam, help me take down the candlestick.”
Assam did as he was told, took the candlestick off the wall, and handed it to Cao Xing.
A system prompt appears.
[Obtain gilt candlestick*1]
“Good guy, is this gold-plated?”
Although it was not pure gold, it still surprised Cao Xing.
Because the exquisite carvings on this candlestick alone are worth a lot of money.
[Gilt Candlestick: Exquisite handicraft, which can be sold to the Chamber of Commerce for a high price. 】
“Haha, it’s really for sale. Hilton should like this batch of goods.”
Even if you can’t sell it, it would be nice to get it into your territory and decorate your own lord’s cabin.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and put it away.
Then he asked Assam and Andrew to take down all the candlesticks they encountered along the way.
[Obtain gilt candlestick*1]
[Obtain gilt candlestick*1]
【get……】
After everyone advanced about a hundred meters, Cao Xing had harvested more than 20 gilt candlesticks, which was a great harvest.
At this moment, Assam, who was walking at the front, suddenly said in alarm: “I sensed an evil aura!”
He raised his sword and stood ready.
At the same time, Cao Xing also heard a burst of footsteps in front of the passage.
Click! Click! The footsteps were weird, like an ice sculpture walking.
And as the footsteps approached, Cao Xing could even feel that the temperature in the passage had dropped a lot.
[Current temperature: -37℃]
“What the hell? Such a big show?” Cao Xing asked doubtfully.
Then, they saw the existence that made the sound of footsteps.
They were two short creatures with pointed ears and short limbs.
Their iconic appearance makes it clear that these are the two goblins.
However, the difference is that these goblins are covered with a layer of pale white and grainy frost.
Their eyes are empty and their skin is pale, as if they have been dead for a long time.
“Lord, be careful, there is something wrong with these goblins!”
Assam said warily.
At this moment, the two goblins saw Cao Xing and others and ran over instantly.
Seeing the other party taking the initiative to attack.
Cao Xing ordered: “Go ahead, kill them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Assam rushed over.
Soon I came into contact with these two goblins.
He waved his long sword and passed directly from bottom to top.
“Uh-huh!”
However, the Frost Wolf sword technique, which had been invincible in the past, now made a crisp sound like cutting into a ball of ice.
【-274】
The damage seems pretty low.
However, compared to Assam’s nearly five hundred attack power, it was at least reduced by nearly half! In other words, these two goblins, who are as good as ice cubes, have amazing defense capabilities.
The two goblins also fought back immediately.
They waved their claws and pounced directly.
Bang! Bang! 【-231】
【-247】
The huge force caused Frost Wolf to take a few steps back in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was surprised and said: “I’ll go…so strong?”
At this moment, Assam found the right angle, and the long sword passed across accurately.
“Poof! Poof!”
【-315】
【-332】
The two goblins were directly picked off by Assam.
Having just become a boss-level creature, Assam is now terrifyingly strong.
Even though the levels of these two goblins were obviously much higher than his, Assam was not afraid.
Uh-huh! Swish!
The knight’s long sword was danced like an airtight weapon by him.
Every time the two goblins tried to attack the frost wolf at his feet, Assam would directly fly them away.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he directly ordered: “Let’s go together and kill these two goblins.”
Dabai was the first to roar.
“Moo——”
Then, it stepped on its heavy elephant hooves and rushed over madly.
Bang! With a flick of his nose, the big white nose sent both goblins flying, and they hit the walls on both sides heavily.
【-512】
【-507】
Two big damage figures floated up.
at the same time.
Sarah and Andrew, as well as Rhaenys next to them, all attacked.
Sarah appeared behind a goblin like a ghost, and the shadow blade passed by.
bite! 【-576】
Obviously, Sarah’s attack has also been greatly weakened, but it still caused considerable damage.
And this blow completely angered the goblin.
It quickly stood up from the ground, then stretched out its frost-covered paws and rushed toward Sarah.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! 【-156】
【-148】
After two claw strikes, two damage numbers appeared on Sarah’s head.
It only caused over 300 damage.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was determined.
With the blessing of multiple BUFFs, the damage Sarah received was also greatly weakened.
At this moment, as other recruited creatures join the battle, these two strange goblins can no longer make any trouble.
In fact, even Brent Brimstone and Rhaenys didn’t need to take action.
Cao Xing began to check the attributes of the two goblins.
[Corrupted Goblin: Level 18]
[Race: Goblin]
[HP: 3212/6740]
[Attack power: 361~378]
[Skill: Corrupted Claw Strike (swinging the Corrupted Claw, causing 2 attacks of 80% damage to the enemy, and adding 2 layers of Ice Corruption Mark) Corrupted Shell (covered by Corrupted Ice, armor increased by an additional 100 points, physical Damage reduced by 10%)]
[Talent: Alchemy]
[Note: This is a group of goblins guarding the palace. For some reason, they were eroded by ice corruption. While they lost their minds, they also gained more power. 】
……
After seeing the above introduction, a look of surprise appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
“I see. I’m telling you why these goblins are so strong. It turns out it’s the reason for these curses.”
At this moment, the two goblins were besieged by everyone.
Assam and Andrew continued to cause horrific damage to them, and there were two boss-level creatures beside them.
Cao Xing also raised his staff and threw three ice picks.
【-74】
【-75】
【-77】
Three damage figures floated up.
For Cao Xing’s attack power, which has exceeded 200, the damage seems very low.
Cao Xing sighed, “This Corruption Shell skill is a bit perverted!”
“It directly increases the armor by 100 points, which is comparable to the bonus of a piece of equipment.”
However, although Cao Xing’s attack power is very low, the attack power of other recruited creatures is very objective.
Sarah cooperated with the forklift robot to deal with a corrupted goblin, and the Shadow Blade kept flashing by.
【-587】
【-571】
【-1129！】
Terrifying injury figures floated up one after another.
After a while, the corrupted goblin’s health dropped to less than a thousand.
Sarah was also attacked four times.
Although the blood volume did not drop much, what was a little tricky was that a light layer of white frost appeared on the part of Sarah’s body that was attacked.
Cao Xing checked Sarah’s status.
[Status: 4 layers of Corruption Mark (when the Corruption Mark accumulates to 10 layers, the maximum life limit will be reduced by 10% until the Corruption Mark disappears)]
See the description of this Mark of Corruption.
Cao Xing mused: “It’s a bit tricky.”
“It actually reduces the upper limit of health by a percentage. If we are besieged by a group of corrupt goblins, how can we reduce the enemy’s health to the minimum by just superimposing the ice corruption state?”
“No wonder the system said that this is a difficult area. Just these two goblins at the door can kill many groups of survivors.”
At this time, the Aurora Knight needs to appear.
Cao Xing looked at Liu Muxue on the side and said, “Muxue, remember to observe their condition.”
“If you see anyone with more than 5 layers of corruption marks on their body, throw a purification spell at them.”
With Liu Muxue’s current attributes improved, one cast of [Purification Technique] can purify 3 layers of negative states.
Moreover, the cooldown time of this basic skill is not long, only 5 seconds CD.
Liu Muxue held a shield and responded solemnly: “Okay…I will do it, Ah Xing!”
After saying that, she raised her sword and threw a ball of sacred aurora towards Sarah.
at the same time.
Next to her, Rhaenys was also attacking two goblins.
Her body stood as straight as a standing green pine, perfectly showing off her body curves.
The bow string in his hand was slowly pulled open, and an arrow was shot out in an instant.
call out! The arrow hits.
【-372！】
This arrow hit the corrupted goblin’s head, causing critical damage.
call out! Phew!
The shaman also lost a totem skill, which increases the critical hit rate and hit rate of friendly creatures.
With the siege of several powerful creatures.
Soon, the blood volume of the two corrupted goblins at the entrance had bottomed out.
Sarah slashed with her sword, and the last goblin fell.
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dancer killed the corrupted goblin lv18 and gained 200 experience points]
[Combatants gain experience points: 100 points]
[Your territory member: Rhaenys Hawkeye killed the corrupted goblin lv19 and gained 220 experience points]
[Combatants gain experience points: 110 points]
……
The total combat time is less than thirty seconds.
Cao Xing felt happy.
“Although these goblins are more difficult to deal with, they still give you a lot of experience, which is comparable to killing a level 12 elite monster.”
Cao Xing looked at his experience bar.
[Current level: Level 8 16%]
Liu Muxue’s level has also reached 4% of level 7.
Currently, the two of them are still ranked first and second in the rankings, far ahead.
“Very good. In this way, we only need to wait until we all reach level ten and use the rewards on the leaderboard to advance directly.”
“Not only that, there are two recruitment scrolls, which can greatly enhance the strength of my territory.”
Cao Xing was full of expectations.
But what’s more important right now is exploring this goblin treasure house.
Then, Cao Xing came to these goblins as usual and started groping for the loot.
[Get a large piece of dry food*1]
[Obtain the Magic Book·Medium*1]
[Obtain corrupted scales*7]
[Obtain primary element crystal*2]
Cao Xing checked the two newly obtained material properties as usual.
[Book of Magic·Medium: Increases the mental attributes of friendly units by 2 points. 】
(Note: Cannot be used on lords.)…
[Corrupted Scales: A kind of scales contaminated with the aura of corruption. 】
(It can be used to make some special equipment, or after collecting a certain amount and turning it over to the ‘Dragon Research Society’, you can get rich rewards.) “Is it related to the dragon again?”
Cao Xing shook his head and put away these two things.
Then said: “Keep going.”
Along this masonry passage, everyone continued to advance for about two hundred meters.
Soon, they came to a wide space that looked like a hall.
There are ancient stone pillars and a black altar engraved with mysterious patterns in the middle of the hall.
A group of corrupted goblins knelt in front of the altar, as if worshiping something.
Their bodies were stiff and covered with frost, and they seemed to have stayed in this position for a long time.
Cao Xing took a cursory glance and found that there were more than 10 goblins here.
Among them, he also saw a strong goblin wearing armor and holding a black hammer.
Take a look at their properties.
[Corrupted Goblin: Level 19]
[Race: Goblin]
[HP: 6840/6840]
[Attack power: 377~384]
[Armor: 137~154 (extra +100)]
[Skills: Corrupted Claw Strike, Corrupted Shell. 】
…
[Corrupted Goblin Warrior: Level 20]
[Race: Goblin]
[Level: Second-level elite creature]
[Health value: 10760/10760]
[Attack power: 554~571]
[Armor: 215~243 (extra +100)]
[Skill: Hit the head (a heavy blow to the enemy, causing 150% damage of attack power, and making the enemy stun for 2 seconds) Enraged (after being attacked 10 times, it will put itself into an enraged state, and the attack speed will increase by 20 %)
Earthshattering Slam (swinging the hammer heavily, causing 80% attack damage to nearby enemies within five meters, adding 1 layer of corruption mark) Primary Corruption Shell (Armor +100)]
[Talent: Alchemy]
……
“Good guy, an elite monster with 4 skills and a corrupted shell.”
Obviously, with more than 300 pieces of armor, this guy’s defense is absolutely terrifying.
In addition, there were eleven ordinary goblins beside him.
The goblins here are quite terrifying.
It can easily destroy a team of hundreds of survivors.
Cao Xing did not rush over immediately, but continued to search for something in this hall.
Behind the group of goblins, Cao Xing seemed to see a row of treasure chests! There are four treasure chests in total, two silver treasure chests and two bronze treasure chests.
“It’s truly a goblin treasure trove! So many treasure chests suddenly appeared!”
What made Cao Xing even more concerned was the black altar.
It seems to be studded with several shining gems! …
