Chapter 8 - 6: Goblin Warrior

[Goblin Crossbow], Level 1 Equipment, Gray Middle Grade Quality, Physical Attack +2, Durability 10, Level 1 (Bringing it back to the real world requires consuming two gray crystal stones)"Hmm, not bad luck, got equipment!" Hang Yu waved towards the bushes, "Hey, you there, stop hiding, come over here."

Idle Xianyu trotted out of the bushes.

The school’s beauty felt for the first time as if she had no presence.

She said timidly, "Great God, I’m... I’m Jiang Nan!"

Hang Yu tossed the arrow and crossbow over, "This crossbow is good, take it and use it first, it can be somewhat useful."

Jiang Nan felt a bit embarrassed.

From start to finish, she was just a Voldemort lurking in the bushes.

She didn’t put in any effort, yet the equipment that finally dropped ended up with her.

In this environment, any equipment is very precious, greatly enhancing survival ability. Zhao Ming and Xiaoqiang probably also wanted this crossbow. At worst, having one more piece of equipment on you might save your boxers if you die, right?

"Thank you!"

Jiang Nan still hugged the crossbow tightly.

Having this crossbow not only increased her sense of security but also allowed her to participate in battle!

Hang Yu didn’t really care about the equipment, "This kind of Level 1 gray equipment is no big deal, what we need most now is to enhance the team’s combat power and efficiency."

Zhao Ming nodded: "I completely understand."

Zhang Xiaoqiang dared not have any opinion, just afraid the Great God wouldn’t take him along: "Yes, yes, whatever the boss says is right!"

Actually, with Hang Yu’s contributions in battle all the way, even if he had taken the recouped equipment for himself, everyone would not have had the slightest objection.

Now, this was the decision most favorable for the team.

Reducing one burden, increasing one combat power.

Zhao Ming and Zhang Xiaoqiang were completely convinced, naturally not saying more.

Hang Yu led the team forward and saw the shrubbery, where a few red and blue fruits grew sparsely, each about the size of half a fist, with goblins gathering them.

The Patrol Soldier was cleaned up, now it was the Collector’s turn.

Six goblins with wooden sticks burrowed in and out of the bushes.

Because goblins are green all over, blending too closely with the color of the surrounding plants, they hid in the bushes to move, making it easy to be ambushed if not observed carefully, and the Goblin Gatherer’s attack power is very strong, getting hit by a stick would basically cripple you.

Very dangerous!

"Goblin Collectors are denser in number, making them quite challenging to deal with." Hang Yu finished reconnaissance and returned to the group saying: "Additionally, the Goblin Collector’s attack power is very high; Uncle Zhao’s defense can withstand three arrows from the Goblin Patrol Soldier, but can only take at most two hits from a Collector. We need to adjust our strategy in dealing with the Collector."

"They don’t have long-range attack capabilities." Zhao Ming immediately suggested calmly: "Can we maintain our distance and utilize our ranged attack advantage here to take them down one by one?"

Zhang Xiaoqiang quickly agreed: "I know this, it’s called a kiting strategy, something I often use for farming monsters in games."

"No, our long-range attack firepower isn’t enough, your fireball’s cooldown is too long, and Jiang Nan’s crossbow arrow doesn’t have enough damage capability. The terrain here is rugged, and our bare foot speed can’t match the goblins; instead, it’ll get us chased and killed."

Jiang Nan hugged the crossbow and dared not speak.

In fact, she was very nervous because, previously, she was a Voldemort, and now she has to fight personally.

"The rugged terrain and trees around here can be utilized." Hang Yu observed the surroundings momentarily and found a rock, about three meters high and relatively smooth around it, "Uncle Zhao and I will lure the monsters, while you guys climb onto the rock to assist in battle."

The three immediately understood Hang Yu’s strategy.

After two people climbed onto the big rock, Zhao Ming was responsible for attracting the monsters over.

There are many Goblin Gatherers with strong attacks, but they are short and not good at climbing.

This rock is three meters high, covered in smooth moss; during the fight, the goblins would find it hard to attack them, having to circle below with Zhao Ming and Hang Yu, while Xiaoqiang and Jiang Nan could assist with long-range attacks.

Zhang Xiaoqiang’s fireball takes twenty seconds each, and each hit can kill one.

Jiang Xiaonan’s crossbow arrow is weak in attack but doesn’t have a cooldown, able to kill one with about three arrows.

Just like that, Zhao Ming used his shield to attract attention, Hang Yu was responsible for harvesting from behind, and six Goblins were resolved without any danger.

The drop rates from these Goblin Gatherers were astonishing.

Almost every Goblin Gatherer would drop one to two light balls when defeated.

Hang Yu picked up the nine dropped items one by one, six red and blue berries, two gray crystal stones, and a wooden stick weapon.

[Goblin’s Red Berry] Two pieces, can restore 5 health points when consumed out of combat.

[Goblin’s Blue Berry] Four pieces, can restore 5 spiritual power points when consumed out of combat.

[Worn Goblin Wooden Stick], Uncommon Equipment, Gray Lower Grade Quality, Physical Attack +2, Durability 10, Level 1 (Bringing it back to the real world requires consuming one gray crystal stone).

These berries can replenish consumption.

In the early stages, they can be counted as important supplies.

Hang Yu distributed two blue berries to Zhang Xiaoqiang because his Spiritual Power was completely exhausted, and now he could replenish all consumed Spirit. As for the dropped [Goblin Wooden Stick], since he already had a short knife, Hang Yu gave the stick to Zhao Ming.

Among the three people, Zhao Ming’s qualities are the highest.

His defensive ability is strong; with a wooden stick, it could yield some output.

The other berries and gray crystal stones were stuffed into his backpack, and Hang Yu continued to lead everyone in battle, finally clearing the goblins around the Goblin Village by evening, securing a dozen more berries and several gray crystal stones, with no other findings.

The four had arrived at the entrance of the village.

Jiang Nan took a glimpse inside and immediately whispered, "It seems there are only three goblins left in there!"

In the center of the Goblin Village, three goblins were wandering.

They had fought all the way and killed dozens of goblins, and now the fear of these monsters wasn’t as profound for the three.

"Treasure chest! I see a treasure chest!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang also discovered an ancient bronze treasure chest in the center of the village.

This treasure chest, although very old, was shrouded in a faint halo, exuding a nearly magical alluring aura, making people unable to resist approaching and wanting to open it.

Zhang Xiaoqiang became excited: "Could there be treasures inside?!"

Hang Yu nodded: "Such treasure chests are very precious, often yielding good items, which is one of the reasons I wanted to attack this goblin existence."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Zhang Xiaoqiang seemed already to see treasures beckoning to him: "Just three goblins, should we kill our way in directly?!"

"I think we shouldn’t act hastily, haven’t you noticed yet?" Zhao Ming furrowed his brow and said: "These three goblins here seem a bit different from the ones outside."

This is why someone’s able to become a listed company chairman,

While Zhang Xiaoqiang can only huddle in an internet café picking his feet and sipping instant noodle soup.

If he charged in directly, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

"It’s not that simple." Hang Yu’s expression rarely turned serious: "There’s an Elite Monster among them!"
