"Looks like you have nowhere to rest. I have a suggestion for you: ask the boss if there's any space left in the warehouse. Goodnight, I'm going back to sleep now. See you tomorrow."
Yezi skipped and hopped into the hotel, then happily went back to her room to sleep.
Hao Yun and the other three looked at each other in bewilderment. Did this mean that on their very first day in this strange world, they would have to live in a warehouse?
"Why don't we go ask? We can't just sleep on the streets."
The time machine entered the hotel and, after inquiring, learned that the warehouse was empty and they could stay there for one night, but the price was the same as a regular room, and the owner would also provide bedding.
Left with no other choice, the four had to move into the warehouse.
It was called a warehouse, but it was really just a small storage room for miscellaneous items. After a quick tidy-up, the four exhausted people lay down and fell asleep.
The next morning, Hao Yun was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps. The warehouse where they lived was located right below the stairs, and the noise from people going up and down the stairs was quite loud.
Hao Yun woke the three people who were fast asleep and led them to the Adventurers' Guild.
After a quick breakfast, Hao Yun accepted another mission to exterminate goblins.
Hao Yun was well prepared this time. He bought shovels, torches, medicine, ropes, and everything else he might need.
Sun Wukong also changed his weapon. The goblin's lair was too small, and he couldn't wield long weapons properly, so he bought a short sword.
Six-man also bought a dagger for self-defense. As for the time machine, he bought three round shields, two of which he tied to his wings and one he carried on his back.
The four fully armed men were about to leave town when Ye Zi stopped them.
Why didn't you wait for me?
“We’re going to kill goblins. What are you, a little yellow-haired girl, doing coming along?”
Having learned the skills, the Time Machine became extremely arrogant and overconfident.
"Young girl with blond hair?"
Although she didn't understand the meaning of the sentence, Ye Zi still sensed that it wasn't a compliment.
"Hmph! You're just a newbie, I could kill you with one hand!"
Ye Zi took down the towering 1.6-meter-tall steel shield from behind her and slammed it down in front of the time machine with a thud.
Glug!
Time Machine swallowed hard. This girl is amazing! That shield must weigh over a hundred pounds, and she lifted it up with just one hand.
We can't afford to mess with them!
"Hehe, you're right, I'm a newbie."
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; the time machine shrank back into the group and said nothing more.
"Don't worry, I won't run away. I will pay off my debts as soon as possible."
Hao Yun didn't want to bring Ye Zi along. Their team was a bit special, and if Ye Zi found out their background, it would be troublesome.
"I am very strong. I am a paladin and can provide you with all kinds of support."
Yesterday, Hao Yun's act of risking his life to rescue Sun Wukong deeply moved Ye Zi. Normally, even a member of a small team would choose to abandon his teammates and retreat in such a crisis.
Ye Zi hated abandoning her teammates, so she left her former team and returned to the starting village to explore on her own.
“We’re going to kill goblins. You saw it yesterday; it was very dangerous.”
"I will protect myself and provide you with assistance."
Under Ye Zi's insistence, Hao Yun finally had no choice but to take her with him on the trip.
Arriving at the site of yesterday's collapse, Hao Yun jumped down and discovered that the goblins had sealed off the cave.
After a few tentative digs, Hao Yun gave up.
"Let's go to the hole we dug yesterday; I left a mark."
At this moment, the leaves stepped forward to demonstrate their role.
Led by Ye Zi, the five of them arrived at the entrance to the hole they had dug the day before. The hole had not been sealed off by the goblins, which meant they hadn't discovered it yet.
"I'll go down first."
After saying that, Ye Zi jumped in. She was a paladin, and her role was to stand in front and absorb damage.
Hao Yun saw Ye Zi jump in and quickly arranged the positions.
"Sun Wukong, you cover the rear to prevent the goblins from attacking from behind. Time Machine, you follow behind me, and Sixth Brother, do the same. If you encounter goblins, you can attack them freely."
Drawing his twin swords, Hao Yun jumped in as well.
After the five people met inside the cave, they began searching forward in the formation arranged by Hao Yun.
Using the torchlight, Hao Yun carefully searched the walls for any marks left yesterday. If they found any marks, they could quickly reach the cave, the goblin's lair.
"There's a sound!"
Sun Wukong, who was bringing up the rear, called out a warning. He raised his short sword and stared intently at a fork in the road behind him.
"Gah!"
A goblin appeared, and Sun Wukong swiftly killed it with a single sword strike to the throat.
Are there any goblins left?
"It's gone."
"Then let's move on."
The team set off again, and after two hours of wandering around, Hao Yun signaled to stop and rest.
After sticking torches into the ground, Hao Yun and the others began to take out water bags to replenish their fluids.
"These goblins are really good at digging; they've designed their lair to be so complicated. Don't they ever get lost?"
The time machine with the worst physical strength collapsed on the ground, expressing its dissatisfaction.
"Probably not. If they were going to get lost, they wouldn't have dug their nest like this."
Ye Zi was also exhausted. Her gear weighed over 200 pounds, and after walking for more than two hours, she was completely worn out.
“I think I walked this road yesterday.”
Sun Wukong stood at the crossroads, recalling whether he had taken this path after being captured by the goblins the day before.
Entering a side path, Sun Wukong raised his torch and carefully examined the marks on the wall. Sure enough, there were scratches he had left behind.
"This road leads directly to the cave, follow me."
Chapter 189 The Scheme to Exterminate Children
Led by Sun Wukong, the five quickly found the cave.
After extinguishing the torch, Hao Yun lay down at the cave entrance and peered inside. There weren't many goblins in the cave at this time, only about fifty or sixty.
You can tell from their size that these are all juvenile goblins.
Should we charge in?
Sun Wukong gripped his short sword tightly, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.
He was the Monkey King who had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and was friends with powerful beings throughout the four seas and eight wastelands. He never expected to be defeated by a group of goblins yesterday, and he was determined to avenge this defeat.
"Wait a bit longer. It's still early. Most of the goblins haven't returned yet. We'll make our move when they come back."
In Hao Yun's eyes, the goblins in the cave were nothing but moving gold coins and experience points; this time, he was determined to make the most of them.
There's only one chance. Once this raid ends, the goblins that survived will definitely move to a new lair.
Once goblins change their nests, they become difficult to find.
Hao Yun needs a lot of money to buy equipment now, because the equipment they have is too rubbish.
The equipment in this world is divided into five categories: common, excellent, superb, divine, and legendary.
When it comes to equipment, the higher the grade, the better; of course, the higher the grade of equipment, the more expensive it is.
The shield on the leaf is a high-quality piece of equipment, worth eight hundred gold coins.
Hao Yun doesn't even have 800 gold coins in his entire fortune right now, which is why he's so obsessed with making money.
The ability to explore allowed Hao Yun to see the true nature of the world. Don't underestimate this seemingly ordinary skill; it can be learned with just one skill point. In fact, this skill is very useful.
For example, if you throw a probe at the Yin-Yang Twin Swords, Hao Yun's brain will quickly generate a response.
Yin-Yang Twin Swords
【grade:???】
Attack power: ???
[Special Effect: Sharp (can damage equipment), ignores defense, increases damage against ghost creatures by 100%, and has a 1% chance of causing instant death.]
Having discovered the wonderful use of reconnaissance skills, Hao Yun decided that this time he would definitely learn a counter-reconnaissance skill to prevent any spying.
If others discover the Yin-Yang Twin Swords, they will likely do anything to seize them.
A weapon whose grade cannot be determined even by reconnaissance can only be described as causing a huge sensation in this world.
“A goblin has returned.”
Sun Wukong lowered his voice and whispered a reminder to the four.
"Get ready. Put the antidote in your mouths first. I'm going to throw out the poison gas bomb in a moment. Swallow it immediately."
Hao Yun took out three bottles of dark green potion from his backpack. He had bought them from the pharmacy for 10 gold coins each, which was unusually expensive.
However, the effect is naturally powerful. According to the pharmacy owner, three bottles of anesthetic can bring down a giant dragon.
Hao Yun, of course, did not believe this claim. How could a newbie town have such a broken potion?
The goblins who went out to find food returned to their burrows, some carrying unknown wild fruits and others carrying wild boars.
"Goblins are coming from behind, there are a lot of them."
Sun Wukong, who was guarding the rear, quickly issued a warning. Hao Yun could not wait any longer and threw the three bottles of potion into various corners of the cave.
"Take the antidote!"
