Chapter 28: Goblin Treasury Key

[Hunter Mask (White)]

[Quality: Common]

[Equipment Effect: Increases Spirit by 3 points.]

(Note: If you wear this mask, you will be regarded as a follower of the evil god and will be marked as a wanted target in major cities while traveling on the continent.)

Cao Xing was stunned; this mask was a faction item.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing put it into his backpack, after all, it wasn't worth it for just 3 points of Spirit.

He continued to check the other item.

[First-Tier Soldier Training Manual (White): Using this training manual, you can train ordinary people in your territory into combat-ready first-tier soldiers.]

Cao Xing's eyes flickered; this was the early-stage training manual.

He could train Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang into combat units, and they could gain experience through battle later on.

[Coins*15, continental currency. With coins, you can purchase supplies or hire followers in the towns of this world.]

There was nothing much to say about this; money makes the world go round.

When you have enough coins, you could even buy some attractive female slaves in town.

Then, Cao Xing began to loot the bodies one by one.

[Obtained Hunter Mask (White)*1, obtained Coins*13]

[Obtained First-Tier Soldier Training Manual (White)*1…]

After looting the bodies, Cao Xing also searched the tents in the camp.

However, inside those tents, Cao Xing saw something that made him nauseous.

In every corner of each tent, there were frozen body parts, with limbs and heads severed.

The torso was placed on a strange pattern, the limbs arranged in four directions, and the head placed on the chest.

It looked like an evil ritual.

Although he knew that Hunters were a group of evil god worshippers, crazy at heart,

this inhumane scene still made Cao Xing feel sick.

As for Liu Muxue beside him, her lips were turning pale.

"Damn, these Hunters are really brutal!"

Cao Xing suppressed his nausea and continued searching inside.

He casually collected the supplies he saw.

[Obtained Wood*17, obtained Stone*6, obtained Iron*3, obtained Food*7, obtained Inferior Wine*3, obtained Coins*71.]

Then, he walked out of the tent and headed to the next one to search.

Inside, there was also a poor soul who had been dismembered.

Cao Xing continued searching for supplies in every corner.

[Obtained Stone*7, obtained Wood*17, obtained Iron*6, obtained Coins*62…]

[Obtained Moldy Nuts*3, obtained Dry Bread*5, obtained Coins*34…]

[Obtained…]

Liu Muxue, following behind, watched in surprise as Cao Xing meticulously looted everything.

This was like a plague of locusts, not leaving a single thing behind!

Soon, Cao Xing finished searching all the tents in the camp.

Excluding other resources, Cao Xing had collected a total of 1072 coins and 9 [First-Tier Soldier Training Manuals] here.

Cao Xing was delighted because this money was enough for him to buy an attractive female slave and bring her back to the territory to serve him and Liu Muxue.

No! Why the hell am I always thinking about female slaves?

Cao Xing quickly shook his head.

At the same time, Andrew also walked over.

"Lord, I found something unusual on that corrupted one."

Cao Xing turned around and asked doubtfully, "What is it?"

Andrew held a bronze key in his hand and directly handed it to Cao Xing.

…

[Obtained Goblin Treasury Key*1: Holding this key, you can go to coordinates 32141, 23513, 3521 to open the Goblin Treasury.]

(Note: This area may hide some special dangers. Please proceed with caution.)

Cao Xing: "???"

"Holy crap! The Goblin Treasury!"

In this world, the goblin race was a weak one, but they were extremely skilled at digging and treasure hunting.

Therefore, the Goblin Treasury often contained some precious treasures.

However, the system also warned that the place was dangerous.

Cao Xing opened the mini-map and checked the coordinates recorded on the key.

It was about 40 kilometers away from him, not too far.

But without building a means of transportation, he couldn't get there in a day.

"It seems I can't open this treasury anytime soon…"

Cao Xing shook his head and first put the key into his backpack.

At that moment, Assam also made a new discovery.

"Lord, I found the refugees captured by the Hunters."

"But it seems there aren't many left."

Assam said with a frown.

Hearing this, Cao Xing immediately walked over with Liu Muxue.

They arrived in front of the innermost tent of the camp.

Lifting the curtain, Cao Xing saw several humans tied up like pretzels inside.

There were both men and women, and among them, Cao Xing also saw a child.

Just as Assam said, there weren't many left.

In total, only seven people remained.

Seeing Cao Xing enter, the humans' eyes flickered with fear, and they begged for mercy.

"My lord, please don't kill us!"

"My lord, please let us go!"

Clearly, these humans were terrified by the Hunters' methods and were desperately pleading.

Cao Xing glanced at their names.

[Colin Hopper lv3]

[Lucio Lore lv2]

[Marlene Kuhn lv2]

[Survivor: Tong Chuchu lv1]

When Cao Xing saw the last name, his eyes widened.

"Huh? A human?"

Liu Muxue also saw the name displayed and said, "A-Xing, it seems to be that little girl in the corner."

"She's also a human from our Blue Star."

Cao Xing looked closely. Although the little girl was wearing a simple thatched coat, the school uniform underneath revealed her identity.

At the moment, the little girl was still in a state of panic, looking at Cao Xing with fear in her eyes.

Liu Muxue walked over and gently comforted her, "Little sister, we are not Hunters. We are like you, humans from Blue Star."

The little girl raised her delicate face and tentatively looked at Liu Muxue.

After confirming that Liu Muxue was indeed a human Survivor, she burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu… The masked men took Daddy away, and he's never coming back… Wuwuwu…"

The little girl cried for a while, then seemed to realize something and quickly stopped.

She looked nervously at Liu Muxue and apologized, "I'm sorry, big sister. Chuchu shouldn't have made such a loud noise. Please forgive me…"

Liu Muxue shook her head and said sympathetically, "It's okay. Can you tell big sister what happened?"

Tong Chuchu nodded, as if organizing her words.

Then, in a childish voice, she said, "Yesterday, I went out with Daddy to look for food. Not far from home, we were suddenly attacked by several arrows."

"Then… then we ran into those scary guys wearing masks."

"We were captured…"

"They beat Daddy up, and at night, they took him away. Wuwuwu…"
