Chapter 84
“Well, let’s go inside!”
With those words, Assam was the first to step through the door.
Da Bai followed closely behind.
Then came Renice and Blot, along with the two Centaur Warriors.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue sat on the Track Robot, bringing up the rear.
A large group of people marched into the passage.
This was Cao Xing’s confidence.
He believed that with their current power, they were prepared to face the dangers inside.
Tap…
tap tap…
The dense sound of footsteps echoed, along with the rumbling of the Track Robot over the brick path.
Cao Xing discovered that they were now in a brick passageway.
And as they ventured deeper, the space widened significantly, enough to accommodate two of Da Bai’s size.
Cao Xing began to look around.
At a glance, he truly spotted some good things.
On both sides of the passage, there were several burning candlesticks.
These candlesticks were luxuriously designed, with a golden hue.
Seeing the golden shine, Cao Xing’s habit of rummaging for goods kicked in again.
“Assam, help me take down the candlesticks.”
Assam did as told, taking the candlesticks off the wall and handing them to Cao Xing.
A System Prompt appeared.
[Obtained Gold-Plated Candlestick*1]
“Wow, are these gold-plated?”
Even though it wasn’t pure gold, Cao Xing was still pleasantly surprised.
Because the exquisite carvings alone made these candlesticks quite valuable.
[Gold-Plated Candlestick: An exquisite artifact that can be sold to the guild for a good price.]
“Haha, can really sell this, Hilton should like this batch of goods.”
Even if it couldn’t be sold, it would still make a fine decoration in the Lord’s Hut back in the Territory.
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction and stowed it away.
Then he instructed Assam and Andrew to collect all the candlesticks they came across along the way.
[Obtained Gold-Plated Candlestick*1]
[Obtained Gold-Plated Candlestick*1]
[Obtained…]
After advancing roughly a hundred meters, Cao Xing had already acquired more than 20 gold-plated candlesticks, a considerable gain.
And at that moment, Assam leading the way suddenly said cautiously, “I sense an evil presence!”
He raised his Longsword, ready for battle.
Simultaneously, Cao Xing also heard footsteps ahead in the passage.
Crunch!
Crunch!
The footsteps sounded strange, as if an ice sculpture was walking.
And as the footsteps approached, Cao Xing could even feel the air temperature in the passage drop significantly.
[Current Temperature: -37°C]
“What the heck?
What’s with the grand entrance?” Cao Xing wondered aloud.
Then, they saw the source of the footsteps.
Two small creatures with pointed ears and short limbs appeared.
Their distinctive appearance revealed that they were Goblins.
However, these Goblins were different.
Their whole bodies were covered with a layer of ghastly white, granular frost.
Their eyes were hollow, and their skin was deathly pale, as if they had been dead for a long time.
“Lord, be careful.
Something’s wrong with these Goblins!”
Assam warned cautiously.
And at that moment, the two Goblins spotted Cao Xing and the others and dashed toward them.
Seeing the opponent initiate an attack,
Cao Xing ordered, “Go, take them down.”
With those words, Assam charged directly in.
Soon, he clashed with the two Goblins.
He swung his Longsword, sweeping it upwards.
“Swish!”
However, the previously unstoppable Frost Wolf Swordsmanship now felt as if it was striking a block of ice, making a crisp ‘ding’ sound.
[-274]
This damage seemed significant.
However, compared to Assam’s attack power of over five hundred, it had been reduced by nearly half!
Meaning these Goblins, like blocks of ice, had an incredibly high defense.
The two Goblins immediately counterattacked.
They swung their claws, pouncing fiercely.
Boom!
Boom!
[-231]
[-247]
The immense force made the Frost Wolf stagger back a few steps.
Seeing this, Cao Xing exclaimed, “Wow…
they’re that strong?”
And at that moment, Assam found his angle and slashed the Longsword precisely.
“Whoosh!
Whoosh!”
[-315]
[-332]
The two Goblins were sent flying by Assam.
Having just turned to Boss-Level creatures, Assam was now terrifyingly strong.
Even though the two Goblins clearly had a much higher Level, Assam faced them fearlessly.
Swish!
Swish swish!
The Knight Longsword danced in his hand, creating an impenetrable barrier.
Each time the two Goblins attempted to attack the Frost Wolf at his feet, Assam would send them flying.
Seeing this, Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he directly ordered, “Everyone, finish off these two Goblins.”
Da Bai let out a loud roar first.
“Moo—”
Then, it charged forward madly, its heavy hoofs pounding.
Boom!
Da Bai’s snout swung, sending both Goblins crashing against the walls.
[-512]
[-507]
Two large damage numbers floated up.
At the same time,
Sarah, Andrew, and Renice joined the attack.
Sarah appeared ghost-like behind one Goblin, her Shadow Blade slicing through.
Ding!
ƝοѵǤօ.сօ
[-576]
Evidently, Sarah’s attack was also significantly reduced but still inflicted impressive damage.
And this strike completely enraged the Goblin.
It quickly got up from the ground, extending its frost-covered claws, pouncing toward Sarah.
Swish!
Swish!
[-156]
[-148]
After two claw strikes, two damage numbers appeared over Sarah’s head.
Inflicting barely over 300 damage.
Witnessing this, Cao Xing felt reassured.
With multiple buffs applied, the damage Sarah received was greatly mitigated.
