Soon, the bear goblin warriors slaughtered all the giant lizards.
The blood dyed the puddles on the ground red, and the red water flowed to the lower ground.
Several bear goblin warriors returned to the cave with the corpse of the giant lizard, while the rest stayed where they were to prevent the prey from being snatched away by other wild beasts.
Although the beasts in the dungeon are mainly monitor lizards, there are other beasts. It’s just that due to the huge number of monitor lizards, other animals appear extremely rare.
Not long after, the bear goblins who stayed in the cave came to the hunting site of the monitor lizards under the guidance of the returning personnel. They moved all the monitor lizards back twice.
They planned to stay in the cave for a while.
A few hours later, in a tribe near an underground lava river, several female goblins discovered a stream dyed blood red.
After they told the leader of the tribe about this, the earth elf, who was only wearing an animal skin apron, immediately summoned the members of the tribe.
"There's a fight going on nearby! Hunting team! Follow me!"
When they heard the word "battle", the many earth elves and bear goblins who came after hearing the news showed some crazy excitement.
A goblin took out a flag from the largest building in the tribe. On the flag were two crossed axes and a ball of blood-red flame embroidered with a special silk thread.
This is a symbol of [Rage], one of the Six Dark Gods.
Fury governs passion and revenge, anger and despair. She seeks revenge for those who have been wronged, but her revenge often results in pain.
Many self-employed barbarians are often inspired by the power of "Fury". Those who believe in it have an abnormal desire for battle and even hope to die in battle.
Led by the flag, this group of goblins, who generally took up the barbarian profession, walked into the rain.
This is exactly who the group of bugbears hoped to meet, but judging by the current situation, this encounter might not be a good one.
…
"Clang!"
In the second layer of the dream world, Carl was wearing armor and conducting combat training with Hope's illusion with his bare hands.
It had not been that long since he last slept, but in order to obtain the expertise of [Combat Apprentice] as soon as possible, Carl forced himself to take a nap.
In addition to gaining spirituality through combat, professionals will also gain spirituality when exercising the abilities of their existing professions.
For example, mages study spells and copy scrolls; artificers create magic items, alchemical potions or constructs; warriors or barbarians practice fighting skills, etc.
When Carl was still in school, he gained experience by making magic props.
However, making magic props often requires consuming spiritual energy and injecting it into the props, so his speed of accumulating spiritual energy was not very fast, but it allowed him to accumulate a large amount of funds to repay his student loans.
Due to the limitations of the dungeon environment, Carl is now unable to accumulate spirituality through his main job as a machinist, so he tried to work part-time as a warrior.
As long as he obtains the feat of [Combat Apprentice], he can increase his spirituality through combat training.
Although the spirituality gained in this way is not much, it is better in the long run.
And if the training results in the dream world can also allow Carl to obtain spiritual feedback, then his speed of becoming stronger will be even faster.
“Ping!”
Using the armor on his arm to block Hope's hand axe, Carl twisted his body and kicked sideways, kicking Hope's illusion away.
There are six tactical styles for warriors: Archery, Defense, Duel, Giant Weapon, Guardian, and Dual Weapon.
Because Carl's occupation as an armorer was that of an armorer, he chose defensive tactics for training.
Defensive tactics are mainly to train practitioners to use their own armor for close combat. Compared with the other four tactics except the protective tactics, the attack power is very limited.
"Huh~, after all this time, I finally have the ability to fight back."
Looking at the illusion of Hope getting up from the ground, Carl breathed a sigh of relief and canceled the illusion.
Just as he kicked away Hope's illusion, he sensed the gathering and transformation of his own spirituality.
Opening the attribute panel, the familiar data gradually moved down in front of Carl's eyes. Finally, when Carl's sight came to the [Expertise] column, the [Combat Apprentice] expertise was lying there quietly.
Carl excitedly waved his fist towards the empty space in front of him, and he felt a strong sense of comfort in his heart.
His training has finally paid off! One of the reasons why abilities like the attribute panel can exist as a cheat code is probably because of the timely positive feedback mechanism.
Many people are unwilling to work hard because they don't see any rewards.
Although Carl's attribute panel was shaped with the help of the dream world and psychic power, it also made his motivation more sufficient than before.
At least when he didn't have this ability, he wasn't as diligent in training as he is now.
After adjusting his mood, Carl simulated two illusions of Hope at once.
A simple one-on-one battle can no longer satisfy his ambition to become stronger! He wants to fight 1V2!
…
In the real world, Carl, who had just woken up from a dream, opened his eyes and looked at Hope with some resentment.
Noticing Karl's gaze, Hope subconsciously put his hands in front of him, frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Rubbing his neck, Karl said in a complicated tone: “It’s okay, I just dreamed that I was beaten by you.”
The experience of being beheaded by Hope with an axe in the dream still caused him to feel some phantom pain in his body.
It was indeed a bit difficult for Carl to fight against two Hopes alone.
Before that, he had only been chopped at most.
Standing up from the ground, Carl walked to the wooden basin, picked up the monitor lizard skin and took a look at it.
Because the acid that Carl had used in the previous battle had already corroded a lot of the monitor lizard's fine scales, after being soaked in the wood ash solution, the scales on the skin had almost fallen off.
After pinching it with his hands, Carl nodded with satisfaction at the soft texture.
After all, it is used as the raw material for underwear and home clothes. If it is too hard, it will be very uncomfortable to wear.
After taking out the leather, Carl hung it on the rack that he had previously used to dry clothes, waiting for the leather to dry naturally.
Turning his head, Carl looked at Hope on the recliner and asked, "Is the slate still warm? Does it still hurt?"
"I feel much better now. I think it won't take long for me to fully recover."
After touching his lower abdomen, Hope stood up from the recliner and posed to show off his muscles towards Carl.
A wisp of cool air carrying cold water vapor blew into the room from outside, and Carl, who was standing at the door, shivered all over.
"It seems that the long period of rainfall has caused the temperature in the dungeon to drop a lot. Tsk, it's a little hard for me to imagine what kind of impact the three elemental planes of fire, air, and earth will have on this place."
After taking a look at the empty door, Carl lowered his head, wondering whether he should make a door panel to block the wind first.
