“Let someone pretend to be a bear.”
Everyone exchanged glances, finding the idea a bit too outlandish.
“That Raging Bear is at least three meters tall, and its weight is unknown. To carry it and pretend to walk normally, the difficulty is not ordinary.”
Wu Yue also chimed in, “Yes, that person needs to be tall enough, and their body must have been strengthened. Do we have such a person among us?”
After he finished speaking,
he found everyone’s gaze fixed on him.
“Why are you all looking at me?”
“…”
More than ten minutes later,
a Raging Bear appeared at the entrance of the Goblin Tribe, lumbering around. Although it tried its best to “hide” in the bushes, its large butt sticking out of the bushes was still spotted by a sharp-eyed Goblin sentry.
An arrow shot over.
Only an “Ouch!” was heard from the bushes, and the attacked Raging Bear was about to dart into the woods.
On the watchtower,
several Goblins chattered, saying something unknown to those below, and then the Goblins below opened the gate, and over a dozen Goblins rushed out with swords, knives, and clubs.
The Goblins grandly rushed behind the Raging Bear, already contemplating their delicious meal for the night.
But unexpectedly,
the Raging Bear, which they had considered prey, directly peeled off its bearskin, revealing a body of strong, lean muscle.
“Hey, baby!”
Wu Yue turned back with a smile, swinging a shockwave from the club in his hand.
Under the attack of the shockwave,
over a dozen Goblins were repelled, all suffering more or less significant injuries.
The damage from a Level 1 shockwave was still insufficient, but as an area-of-effect skill, this move had already caused the Goblin forces' combat effectiveness to decline.
Then,
“Hunting time.”
Wu Yue rushed over with the club in his hand.
Nearly twenty Adventurers also rushed out from the nearby bushes, several of them encircling the Goblin forces.
The remaining dozen or so took the opportunity to rush into the Goblin Tribe’s main gate.
The battle was about to begin.
Some still bewildered Goblins didn’t know what was happening before their heads were cut off by Li Ruoshu’s sword.
“Chitter-chatter, baka!”
Two Goblin leaders rushed over, roaring unknown languages.
Li Ruoshu raised her sword and met them.
Arrows flew from behind.
Among the Adventurers, there were also a few skilled archers, especially Qi Maosong, who was responsible for reconnaissance earlier. His archery skills surprised even Li Ruoshu.
With their help,
the two Goblin leaders were no match at all, ultimately only taking down three or four Adventurers before meeting their demise.
The battle lasted less than an hour.
This Goblin Tribe had already fallen into the hands of the Adventurers.
“These hateful Goblins.”
Bai Feifei immediately went to check the slave area, finding it empty, with only bones of unknown creatures scattered everywhere.
“There must have been a transfer here, otherwise there shouldn’t be only these Goblins,” Qi Maosong concluded after some investigation.
“Can you find the direction they transferred?” Li Ruoshu asked.
After some investigation, Qi Maosong finally focused his gaze on the direction further north.
“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be 3° east of north. There are large traces of movement there, and the slaves from this tribe should also have been transferred there.”
Li Ruopu gritted his teeth, “Too bad we don’t have time, otherwise we would definitely chase them down and kill these filthy Goblins.”
Adventurers all intensely disliked Goblins, feeling the same way as when they saw rats or cockroaches, wishing they could kill them with a single strike.
“Forget it, there will be time later. Let’s complete this quest first.”
Bai Feifei came to the central tent and took out a gem emitting a colorful glow from inside.
Then she came before Li Ruoshu.
“Sister Ruo Shu, this is the Guardian Stone. As long as it’s used, the Goblin Tribe will be considered conquered. You should be the one to end this quest.”
Li Ruoshu nodded, not refusing.
Taking the Guardian Stone,
Chen Yu’s ears immediately received a system prompt.
“Congratulations, you have successfully occupied the Goblin Tribe.”
“You now own the Goblin Tribe. The Guardian Stone is taking effect. Do you wish to consume soul crystal to activate the Guardian Stone?”
“The current Goblin Tribe level is Lv1. Activating the Guardian Stone requires consuming 100 soul crystal, and daily maintenance requires consuming 1 soul crystal.”
“The amount of soul crystal consumed will increase with the number of residents in the territory.”
Upon hearing this prompt,
Chen Yu did not hesitate and immediately chose to activate it.
Although he felt a bit pained about the 100 soul crystal, he didn’t want the hard-won territory to be occupied by someone else again.
With the Guardian Stone, the territory would be in an invincible state, which was much more cost-effective than recruiting a guard team.
The only minor drawback was that the Guardian Stone’s effective range was limited to the territory itself and would not expand outwards.
Chen Yu opened the system panel.
In the information, the Goblin Tribe’s information appeared accordingly.
The system prompted:
“Do you want to change the name?”
Chen Yu pondered for a moment and then changed the name.
“Territory: Biohazard Base City (Tier 1)”
“Lord: Chen Yu”
“Residents: None yet”
“Buildings: Fertile Field × 2, Dilapidated Warehouse”
“Dungeon 0/2: None yet”
“Shield Daily Maintenance Cost: soul crystal × 1”
From the changed name, Chen Yu’s idea could be seen.
He planned for the main city to specialize in operating Happy Chess and Cards, gambling… gambling on a future.
Then, other conquered territories would operate other types of Dungeons.
“Honestly, this Goblin Tribe is quite poor. The only buildings are a warehouse and two fertile fields.”
Fertile Field is a rather special type of building, or rather, a resource.
It can be used to grow plants, and regardless of growth cycle or other aspects, it will be better than growing them on ordinary land.
They are commonly used for growing food.
One Fertile Field can probably support 10 residents, saving food consumption, which is also a form of indirect additional income.
“It seems I need to recruit people early.”
While the Adventurer team had not yet disappeared, Chen Yu immediately used the remaining soul crystal to build a teleportation gate.
A teleportation gate needs to be built in both territories. Once activated, it can consume one soul crystal for instant teleportation.
After constructing the teleportation gate,
Chen Yu called Effie out and asked her to go to the Resident Evil territory and return to the Half-elf village with the Adventurers.
He wanted to recruit all the people from the Half-elf village into the Resident Evil territory.
The Half-elf village only had a dozen people.
With two Fertile Fields, supporting the people of a Half-elf village would not be too much pressure, and there might even be a small surplus.
Upon hearing this news, Effie was overjoyed and quickly ran into the teleportation gate.
