"Then let us go in!"
After saying that, Assam was the first to step into the gate.
Dabai followed closely behind.
Then, there were Renis, Blot, and two Centaurs.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue sat on the tracked robots and walked at the back.
A group of people entered the passage in a mighty stream.
This is also Cao Xing's confidence.
He believed that with his current strength, he would be able to deal with the dangers he might encounter.
Tap…tap…
There was the sound of a group of people's dense footsteps and the sound of a tracked robot rolling over bricks.
Cao Xing discovered that they were now in a brick passage.
And as we went deeper, the space became much larger, able to accommodate two whitebait.
Cao Xing began to look around.
This glance really made him see some good things.
There were several burning candlesticks on both sides of the passage.
These candlesticks are gorgeous in appearance and have a golden color.
Seeing the golden light above, Cao Xing's habit of taking advantage of others came back again.
"Assam, help me take down the candlesticks."
Assam did as he was told, took down the candlestick from the wall, and handed it to Cao Xing.
A system prompt appears.
【Received 1 gilded candlestick】
"Hey guys, this is gold-plated, right?"
Although it was not pure gold, Cao Xing was still surprised.
Because, just based on the exquisite carvings on the candlestick, it is already worth a lot of money.
[Gilded Candlestick: Exquisite handicraft, can be sold to the Chamber of Commerce for a high price.]
"Haha, it's really worth selling. Hilton will probably like this batch of goods."
Even if you can't sell it, it would be nice to take it to your territory and use it to decorate your own lord's hut.
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.
【Received 1 gilded candlestick】
【Received 1 gilded candlestick】
【Obtained...】
After everyone walked forward about a hundred meters, Cao Xing had already collected more than 20 gilded candlesticks, a rich harvest.
At this moment, Asam, who was walking in front, suddenly said with alarm: "I sense an evil aura!"
He held his sword in hand, ready to attack.
At the same time, Cao Xing also heard footsteps in front of the passage.
Snap! Snap!
The footsteps sounded strange, like an ice sculpture walking.
Moreover, as the footsteps got closer, Cao Xing could even feel that the temperature in the passage had dropped a lot.
【Current temperature: -37℃】
"What the hell? Such a grand occasion?" Cao Xing asked puzzledly.
Then, they saw the being making the footsteps.
They were two short creatures with pointy ears and short limbs.
Their iconic appearance indicates that these are two goblins.
However, the difference is that these goblins are covered with a layer of pale, grainy frost all over their bodies.
Their eyes were hollow and their skin was pale, as if they had been dead for a long time.
"Lord, be careful, there's something wrong with these goblins!"
Assam said cautiously.
At this moment, the two goblins saw Cao Xing and others and immediately ran over.
See the other party take the initiative to attack.
Cao Xing ordered, "Go, kill them."
After saying that, Assam rushed over directly.
Soon came into contact with the two goblins.
He swung his sword and swept straight up from bottom to top.
“Swish!”
However, the Frostwolf swordsmanship that had been invincible before now seemed to be chopping off a block of ice, making a crisp "ding" sound.
【-274】
The damage looks quite serious.
However, compared to Assam's attack power of nearly 500, it was at least reduced by half!
In other words, these two goblins, who are like ice cubes, have amazing defensive capabilities.
The two goblins also counterattacked immediately.
They waved their claws and pounced forward suddenly.
Bang! Bang!
【-231】
【-247】
The huge force caused the Frostwolf to retreat several steps in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was surprised and said, "Oh my god... so strong?"
At this moment, Assam found the right angle and swung his sword accurately.
“Puff! Puff!”
【-315】
【-332】
The two goblins were directly knocked away by Assam.
Having just become a boss-level creature, Asam is now terrifyingly powerful.
Even though the levels of these two goblins were obviously much higher than his, Assam was not afraid.
Swish! Swish!
The knight's long sword was wielded by him so tightly that no air could penetrate it.
Every time the two goblins tried to attack the Frostwolves under his feet, they would be directly knocked away by Assam.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he gave the order directly: "Let's go together and kill these two goblins."
Dabai was the first to let out a long howl.
“Moo—”
Then, it kicked up its heavy hooves and rushed forward madly.
Bang!
With a flick of his big white nose, both goblins were thrown away and slammed heavily against the walls on both sides.
【-512】
【-507】
Two big injury numbers popped up.
At the same time.
Sarah, Andrew, and Renee next to them all launched their attacks.
Sarah appeared behind a goblin like a ghost, and the shadow blade slashed across.
bite!
【-576】
Obviously, Sarah's attack was also greatly weakened, but it still caused considerable damage.
This attack completely angered the goblin.
It quickly stood up from the ground, then stretched out its frost-covered claws and pounced towards Sarah.
Swish! Swish!
【-156】
【-148】
After two claw strikes, two damage numbers appeared above Sarah's head.
Only a little over 300 people were injured.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing felt relieved.
With the blessing of multiple BUFFs, the damage Sarah suffered was greatly weakened.
At this moment, with other recruited creatures joining the battle, these two strange goblins can no longer cause any trouble.
Even Brent Brimstone and Reneece don't have to take any action.
Cao Xing began to check the attributes of the two goblins.
[Corrupted Goblin: Level 18]
[Race: Goblin]
[Health: 3212/6740]
【Attack power: 361~378】
[Skill: Corrupted Claws (Waves corrupted claws, causing 80% of attack damage to the enemy twice, and adds 2 layers of ice corruption mark)
Corrupted Shell (Covered by Corrupted Ice, Armor increased by 100 points, Physical damage reduced by 10%)]
【Talent: Alchemy】
[Note: This is a group of goblins guarding the palace. For some reason, they were corrupted by the ice and lost their minds, but also gained even more powerful strength.]
…
After seeing the above introduction, Cao Xing's face showed a look of enlightenment.
"I see. That's why I was wondering why these goblins are so strong. It turns out it's because of these curses."
At this moment, the two goblins were besieged by the crowd.
Assam and Andrew continued to cause terrible damage to them, and there were two big boss creatures beside them.
There is basically no suspense in this battle.
Cao Xing also raised his staff and threw three ice cones.
【-74】
【-75】
【-77】
Three damage numbers rose.
Considering Cao Xing's attack power has exceeded 200, the damage is very low.
Cao Xing sighed, "This Corrupted Shell skill is a bit perverted!"
"It directly increases armor by 100 points, which is equivalent to the bonus of a whole set 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 shovel robot to deal with a corrupted goblin, and the shadow blade kept flashing.
【-587】
【-571】
【-1129! 】
Horrible injury figures are rising one after another.
After a while, the health of this corrupted goblin dropped below one thousand.
Sarah was also attacked four times.
Although her health didn't drop much, what was a bit tricky was that a layer of light white frost appeared on the parts of Sarah's body that were attacked.
Cao Xing checked Sarah's condition.
[Status: 4 layers of Corruption Mark (When the Corruption Mark accumulates to 10 layers, the maximum health will be reduced by 10% until the Corruption Mark disappears)]
See the description of this Mark of Corruption.
Cao Xing pondered and said, "It's a bit tricky."
"It actually reduces the maximum health by percentage. If I'm besieged by a group of corrupted goblins, wouldn't the combined effects of the ice corruption reduce the enemy's health to the minimum?"
"No wonder the system said this is a high-difficulty area. Just these two goblins at the door can wipe out many teams of survivors."
At this time, the Aurora Knight is needed.
Cao Xing looked at Liu Muxue who was standing beside him and said, "Muxue, remember to observe their conditions."
"If you see someone with more than 5 layers of corruption marks on him, cast a purification spell on him."
As Liu Muxue's attributes have improved, one cast of [Purification Spell] can purify three layers of negative states.
Moreover, the cooldown time of this basic skill is not long, only 5 seconds CD.
Liu Muxue held the shield and responded solemnly: "Okay... I will, Xing!"
After saying that, she raised her sword and threw a ball of holy aurora towards Sarah.
At the same time.
Renis next to her was also attacking two goblins.
She stood straight, like a standing pine tree, showing off her figure perfectly.
The bowstring in his hand was slowly pulled, and an arrow shot out instantly.
call out!
The arrow hits.
【-372! 】
This arrow hit the corrupted goblin's head, causing critical damage.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Shaman also has a totem skill that increases the critical strike rate and hit rate of friendly creatures.
Following the siege of several powerful creatures.
Soon, the health of the two corrupted goblins at the entrance was almost exhausted.
Sarah chopped it off with her sword, and the last goblin fell.
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed the Corrupted Goblin lv18 and gained 200 experience points]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 100 points]
[Your territory member: Renis Eagle Eye killed the Corrupted Goblin lv19 and gained 220 experience points]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 110 points]
…
The battle took less than thirty seconds in total.
Cao Xing was delighted.
"Although these goblins are more difficult to deal with, the experience they give is still quite a lot, comparable to killing a level 12 elite monster."
Cao Xing glanced at his experience bar.
[Current level: Level 8 16%]
Liu Muxue's level has reached 4% of level 7.
Currently on the rankings, they are still ranked first and second, far ahead.
"Very good. In this way, we only need to wait until we all reach level 10, and then we can advance directly with the rewards on the leaderboard."
"Not only that, there are two recruitment scrolls that can greatly enhance the strength of my territory."
Cao Xing's heart was full of anticipation.
But what is more important at the moment is to explore this goblin treasure house.
Then, Cao Xing came to the goblins as usual and began to search for the spoils.
【Get a large piece of dry food*1】
[Obtain the Magic Book (Medium)*1]
[Obtain Corrupted Scales*7]
[Obtain primary element crystals*2]
As usual, Cao Xing checked the properties of the two newly acquired materials.
[Book of Magic·Medium: Increases the spirit attribute of friendly units by 2 points.]
(Note: Cannot be used on Lords.)
…
【Corrupted Scales: A type of scales stained with the aura of corruption.】
(It can be used to make some special equipment, or after collecting a certain amount, it can be handed over to the "Dragon Research Society" to receive rich rewards.)
"Is it about the dragon again?"
Cao Xing shook his head and put the two things away.
Then he said, "Keep going."
The group continued forward along this brick passage for about two hundred meters.
Soon, they came to a large space that looked like a hall.
There are ancient stone pillars and a black altar in the middle of the hall that is engraved with mysterious patterns.
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 remained in this position for a long time.
Cao Xing took a quick look and found that there were more than 10 goblins here.
Among them, he also saw a strong goblin wearing armor and holding a black iron hammer.
Scan their properties.
[Corrupted Goblin: Level 19]
[Race: Goblin]
[Health: 6840/6840]
【Attack power: 377~384】
[Armor: 137~154 (extra +100)]
[Skills: Corrupted Claws, Corrupted Shell. ]
…
[Corrupted Goblin Warrior: Level 20]
[Race: Goblin]
[Level: Second-level elite creature]
[Health: 10760/10760]
[Attack power: 554~571]
[Armor: 215~243 (extra +100)]
[Skill: Head-on Hammer (Delivers a heavy blow to the enemy, causing damage of 150% of the attack power, and causing the enemy to fall into a 2-second dizzy state)
Enraged (After being attacked 10 times, the player will enter an enraged state and his attack speed will increase by 20%)
Earthshatter (Swing the hammer hard, dealing 80% of the attack damage to enemies within 5 meters, and adding 1 layer of Corruption Mark)
Primary Corrupted Shell (Armor +100)】
【Talent: Alchemy】
…
"Good guy, an elite monster with 4 skills and a corrupted shell."
Obviously, with over 300 pieces of armor, this guy's defense is absolutely terrifyingly strong.
In addition, there are eleven ordinary goblins nearby.
The goblins here are extremely powerful.
Can easily destroy a team of 100 survivors.
Cao Xing did not rush over immediately, but continued to look for something in the 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 really a goblin treasure house! So many treasure chests appeared at once!"
What caught Cao Xing's attention even more was the black altar.
It seems to be inlaid with a few sparkling gems!
