The five people took the antidote, and the anesthetic began to take effect. The bottle containing the dark green medicine shattered, and the medicine quickly dissolved into gas, spreading throughout the cave.
Unaware of the situation, the goblin walked into the poisonous fog zone with a puzzled look.
Thump! Thump!
One goblin after another fell, lying on the ground convulsing, drool dripping from their mouths.
The medicine worked!
Hao Yun drew his twin swords and charged into the cave first.
"Ye Zi, you stay in front and don't let the goblins rush in. Sun Wukong, you hold off the goblins in the back. Time Machine and Sixth Brother, you two assist Sun Wukong."
After explaining the situation, Hao covered his mouth and nose with burlap and rushed into the cave to begin a massacre.
The goblin, anesthetized by the drug, had no ability to resist and could only lie on the ground waiting to die.
A small group of goblins sensed something was wrong and disappeared into the cave.
One, two... ten... thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two...
The leaf at the front was exceptionally relaxed, as not a single goblin ran towards her.
However, the battle at the rear was intense, and Sun Wukong had already sustained injuries.
The goblins that returned to their lair had now gathered more than fifty, and Sun Wukong alone could not handle them.
"May the Holy Light protect you!"
At this moment, Ye Zi activated her skill, and four golden beams of light instantly fell, forming a protective shield around the four people.
The goblin's spear struck Sun Wukong's protective shield and was immediately deflected.
"Hehe! Now it's my turn to fight back."
Without any regard for defense, Sun Wukong began his slaughter.
The Time Machine and Six-Wa in the middle of the group, one uses magic and the other uses a heavy crossbow. Whichever goblin they target, it's dead.
The Time Machine is incredibly skilled at using Wind Blade; he basically doesn't need to aim, he just swings his hand and hits. If he says he'll cut off your left eyelid, he won't even bother cutting off your right one.
"Monkey King, make way!"
At this moment, Liuwa was also preparing to unleash his ultimate move. He raised his heavy crossbow, and the arrows he fired began to split in mid-air, one becoming two, and two becoming four.
By the time they reached the goblins, a hail of arrows had formed.
Like harvesting wheat, the goblins that had gathered together fell in an instant.
"ruling!"
Not to be outdone, Ye Zi waved her hand and a huge lightsaber landed in the center of the goblins, instantly killing more than a dozen.
"Damn it! You guys are stealing my monster!"
Sun Wukong, who was tanking the damage at the front, was so angry that he almost threw his sword away. He had worked so hard for so long, but the two skills of the other players wiped out the entire screen.
Half an hour later, the battle ended, and everyone began to tally up the spoils.
"How many goblin ears have you collected over there?"
"Fifty-seven."
Hao Yun calculated that fifty-seven coins, plus his own one hundred and thirty-six, could be exchanged for a total of one hundred and ninety-three gold coins.
After deducting the money spent on potions and equipment, there are still 158 gold coins left.
Tsk! Still too few. I need to try taking on more difficult tasks in the future.
After checking to make sure nothing was missed, the group returned the way they came and went straight back to the city.
It was getting dark, and there was no point in staying in the wild any longer. It was better to go back and rest to conserve energy.
Hao Yun's five-person team submitting the mission naturally caused another sensation, after all, a team that had killed hundreds of goblins in two consecutive days had not yet appeared in this newbie town.
If they did exist, there wouldn't have been hundreds of goblins gathering outside the city, prompting the guild to offer a hefty bounty.
Normally, killing a goblin will only earn you ten silver coins, or even less, since goblins don't carry any valuable materials.
After the mission was completed, Ye Zi suggested a celebration, and everyone except Hao Yun agreed.
Left with no other choice, Hao Yun had to obediently pay for a lavish dinner.
Chapter 190 Slaying the Thick-skinned Fangfish
After Hao Yun received the gold coins he earned this time, he gave Ye Zi one hundred gold coins, and saved the rest.
Being an adventurer is very expensive, as both purchasing equipment and learning skills require a lot of money.
Despite the high income of adventurers, they actually don't save much money at all.
For example, Hao Yun had just received the money when the four of them finished learning the skills, and the treasury shrank by a third.
As night fell, Hao Yun and the others returned to the hotel to rest. This time, they did not stay in the warehouse, but each had their own room.
Before setting off this morning, Hao Yun booked a room with the hotel owner and left a deposit.
Hao Yun calculated that they would have to stay in this beginner village for at least ten to fifteen days, so he paid for ten days' accommodation in one go.
Back at the inn, everyone went to their rooms to rest. The next morning, Hao Yun woke everyone up and headed to the Adventurers' Guild to prepare for a mission.
The Adventurers' Guild was bustling with activity in the early morning, as many people arrived early to choose a high-paying and easy quest.
However, this type of task is very rare; you might only see a few a month.
Even so, these adventurers, who are used to waking up early, still arrive at the guild early to choose their missions.
Hao Yun and his group of five arrived at the union and squeezed their way to the window where they were to accept tasks, carefully reading the notice posted on the wall.
What mission do we have today?
The tiny time machine, worried about being trampled to death, ran onto Sixth Brother's shoulder.
Having secured a high vantage point, the time machine carefully searched for suitable missions.
"Drive away the thick-skinned sharp-toothed fish in the paddy fields. I think this task is good. Why don't we take it?"
Thick-skinned sharp-toothed fish?
Hao Yun followed the gaze of the time machine and saw a notice posted on the upper part of the wall.
[Drive away the thick-skinned sharp-toothed fish in the paddy field. Reward: 10 gold coins.]
"This mission is really good, why don't we take it?"
Ye Zi, standing behind Hao Yun, also expressed her agreement.
"Okay then, Time Machine, tear down the notice and go to the window to handle it."
Following Hao Yun's instructions, the time machine quickly tore down the notice and rode Liuwa to the window to complete the formalities.
"What is a Thick-skinned Fangfish? What level of monster is it?"
When Hao Yun first arrived in this new world, he didn't know many common-sense questions. Now that he had Ye Zi, a native of this world, he could just ask her.
"It's about level ten or so. Once we lure it ashore, it'll be easy to deal with."
"The mission is complete, let's set off."
The Time Machine jumped off Six-Wa's shoulder, waved its hand, and pretended to walk towards the door.
The four men following behind him looked like his underlings.
Guided by the mission map, the five left the city and headed south. Ye Zi, who was familiar with the terrain, was in charge of leading the way.
"Stay close to me and don't wander off. There are many monsters in the forest south of the city."
Before Ye Zi could finish speaking, a rumbling sound came from not far ahead, and the ground trembled.
The five people are currently located on the outskirts of the forest, some distance away from it.
"What's going on? How come there are bighorn cows here?"
Ye Zi, who was familiar with the beginner town, was extremely puzzled at this moment. Monsters like the Great Horned Bull lived in the inner circle of the forest and rarely came out.
There were fifteen Great Horned Bulls running wildly. At the very front of the group was an extremely strong Great Horned Bull. As it ran, Hao Yun could even see the muscles bulging on its body.
"Devilish muscular beef!"
Muttering something under his breath, Hao Yun tossed over a probe.
Bighorn
[Level: 15]
HP: 1050
[MP: 230]
The information gathered was limited, but the amount of health indicated that this monster was extremely resilient.
The remaining fourteen Great Horned Cattle are basically the same level and have the same amount of health, with only a few juvenile calves having slightly worse stats.
"What a pity, there are too many. If there were only two or three, we could definitely handle them. The Bighorn Bull Guild buys them for five gold coins each."
Leaf, hiding to the side, couldn't help but sigh as she watched the Great Horned Bull disappear into the distance.
"How much? Five gold coins each!"
Hao Yun's eyes widened instantly as he stared at the departing herd of cattle, his eyes practically turning into money.
"That's right. Beef from the bighorn is delicious and considered a high-end ingredient. Its hide can be made into high-quality leather armor. Bighorn is also a common material used by blacksmiths to aid combustion. So, do you think it's valuable?"
After Ye Zi's explanation, Hao Yun had no desire to do the task of driving away the thick-skinned fangfish; he was more interested in chasing after the departing herd of cattle.
Fifteen bighorn bulls, that's seventy-five gold coins.
At this moment, Ye Zi seemed to have seen through Hao Yun's thoughts and couldn't help but loudly remind him.
"Hey! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. A dozen bighorn bulls gathered together could trample us to death in one charge."
Hao Yun chuckled dryly and looked away.
"No, I was just looking. Let's go, let's set off to do our mission."
