Chapter 74: Chapter 74 The Goblin is Confident Again [Seeking Follow-up Reading]
The Goblin Great Swordsman died, clutched by numerous resentments. At that moment, Yi Zheng approached and scooped up the Resentment Crystals floating off the Goblin Great Swordsman’s body into his pouch.
Resentment +500!
However, Yi Zheng wasn’t pleased because he had just tried and failed; no matter what he did, the lesser monsters didn’t produce any resentment.
It seemed that only human players and the bosses among wild monsters could produce negative energy.
This irked him a bit, as it seriously delayed his skill upgrade progress!
“To upgrade, I can only kill players, and to get skills, I have to kill BOSSes—won’t let me have the best of both worlds!” Yi Zheng felt somewhat frustrated.
Then he gestured at the Goblin Great Swordsman, “Evil Extraction!”
Three skill pearls flew out from the Goblin Great Swordsman, one shimmering with a faint glow, the other with a slightly stronger light.
The first was very familiar, a G-grade Identification Skill, which Yi Zheng ignored and looked at the remaining two skills.
Skill Name: Thunderclap Earth Rock Strike
Level: First Stage
Skill Grade: F.
Skill Introduction:
First Stage: Instantly gains 1.5 times Agility in movement and attack speed, lasting for five seconds.
Second Stage: Soars into the sky, swings the sword heavily, igniting the power of the earth, covering a circular area with a diameter of five meters, causing range damage of 10 times the Attack Power.
CD: One minute
Skill Upgrade requires: 1000 energy points.
Skill Name: Earth Stone Armor
Level: First Stage
Skill Grade: E.
Skill Introduction: Extracts the power of the earth to condense a layer of Earth Stone Armor, which can absorb damage equivalent to 50% of the user’s Life Value. Once the armor absorbs full damage, it will explode automatically, causing area damage equal to the absorbed amount, within a three-meter radius, while also resetting the CD of another skill.
CD: 10 minutes
Skill Upgrade requires: 10,000 energy points.
Yi Zheng was very satisfied with these two skills, one for sprinting into close combat and the other for boosting defense and saving his life; they were both offensive and defensive and could even be used to escape.
Most importantly, the Earth Stone Armor even had a skill-reset effect. No wonder the Goblin Great Swordsman could release the Thunderclap Earth Rock Strike again after using it once—it all made sense now!
Once the Goblin Great Swordsman perished, the lesser goblins scattered in all directions, each trying to escape.
Of course, they overestimated their speed and were soon caught by the wild boars and wolf packs, and before long, all were torn to shreds.
With this, the first great battle between wild monsters in the All Heavens Game came to an end—resulting in the complete annihilation of the Goblins, with not a single Rabbit harmed.
Looking at the high platform ahead, Yi Zheng knew that it must be the resurrection place of the Goblin Great Swordsman, and he smiled.
While waiting for the Goblin Great Swordsman to resurrect, Yi Zheng glanced at the Negative Energy Value in his hand—the more than eight hundred players he had just killed, along with the Goblin Great Swordsman and the previous remnants, meant he now had a total of thirty-seven thousand negative energy points.
After thinking it over, Yi Zheng upgraded both Thunderclap Earth Rock Strike and Earth Stone Armor to D-grade.
Skill Name: Thunderclap Earth Rock Strike
Level: First Stage
Skill Grade: D-grade.
Skill Introduction:
Stage 1: Instantly gain 2.5 times your Agility in movement and attack speed, lasting for fifteen seconds.
Stage 2: Leap towards the sky, perform a heavy sword strike, igniting the power of the earth, covering a circular area with a diameter of ten meters, causing area damage equal to 15 times your Attack Power.
CD: 40 seconds
Skill Upgrade required: 100,000 points of Energy.
Skill Name: Earth Stone Armor
Level: First-order
Skill Grade: D.
Skill Introduction: Extract the power of the earth to form a layer of Earth Stone Armor on your body, which can absorb damage equal to 70% of your Life Value. Once it absorbs damage to its limit, the Earth Stone Armor will explode on its own, causing equal group damage in a 5-meter diameter. It also resets the CD of three skills.
CD: 8 minutes
Skill Upgrade required: 100,000 points of Energy.
Yi Zheng was very satisfied with the attributes of the two skills after the upgrade.
Next was the moment to guard the corpse. Since he was here, Yi Zheng had no intention of leaving anything for the Goblin Great Swordsman… If it weren’t for the fact that underwear couldn’t be taken off, he would’ve ensured not a single pair was left for his opponent!
Meanwhile, under a small tree in the distance, the light twisted, and then as the distortion faded, a sleazy black-clothed person appeared. It was the Goblin Great Thief. He cautiously lifted his hands and feet, sneakily turned around, then bolted away while muttering, “Too terrifying, too damn terrifying! A bunch of little monsters taking down a BOSS, this is gonna turn everything upside down! You didn’t see me, you didn’t see me…”
Before long, in a cave deep in the forest to the north of Vermilion Bird City,
“My king, I speak the truth, and if there’s a single lie, may lightning strike me down!” the Goblin Great Thief was still sweating coldly on his forehead when he thought about the tactics of that group of Rabbits.
The Goblin Mage said, “My king, am I wrong? Those Rabbits are indeed fierce!”
The King of Goblins narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent surging in his gaze, “Why hasn’t the Great Swordsman returned?”
The Goblin Great Thief said, “He… He’s been corpse-guarded.”
The King of Goblins was taken aback, “Corpse-guarded?”
They were all new to being Wild Monsters, and some rules they were hearing for the first time, like not crossing boundaries, randomly dropping Equipment upon death, Resurrection, and so forth…
And these rules had been directly imprinted into their minds by the system when they became Wild Monsters.
Although they had this information in their heads, this was their first time experiencing it.
At least, the King of Goblins had never thought about being corpse-guarded, and the system didn’t give him any similar information.
The Goblin Mage immediately raised his hand and said, “I’m familiar with this, I’m familiar, let me explain.”@@novelbin@@
The Goblin Mage then explained the process of the Rabbits guarding his corpse.
The King of Goblins’s face grew darker as he listened, and at last, seeing how the Goblin Mage was spitting excitedly, growing more and more emotional as he spoke, the king slapped him across the face, scolding, “Trash! You’re getting excited the more you talk about such disgrace? You worthless thing!”
The Goblin Mage felt extremely wronged. It was you who asked me to explain!
The King of Goblins turned to the Goblin Great Thief and said, “The dignity of Goblins may not be very important, and there might not be much of it, but being tortured by a bunch of level 1 Rabbits and even being corpse-guarded, that’s intolerable! Call everyone, we’ll take the initiative to strike. For the face of the Goblins, we’ll wipe out those Rabbits!”
“Yes!” The Goblin Great Thief saw the King of Goblins intending to take action himself, instead of sending him to his death. His Battle Intent skyrocketed, and he rushed out to blow the horn for assembly.
After three horn calls, in the woods surrounding Vermilion Bird City, with the exception of the Goblins from the eastern Swordsman Forest who didn’t come, all the Goblins from the other three woods gathered!
Thirty thousand, sixty thousand, ninety thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred twenty thousand, one hundred eighty thousand!
One hundred eighty thousand Goblins, sixty thousand Mages, sixty thousand Thieves, and sixty thousand Goblin Raiders assembled together, stretching from earth to heaven, with no end in sight!
The Goblin Great Thief, looking at this horde of Goblins, felt the confidence that had been almost squashed by the Rabbits’ brutal Combat Power start to recover and continued to soar.
What do you think?
