Chapter 356: The Goblin King Who Stopped Being Human, The Witch’s Reward (5600)

[Goblin King (You possess the bloodline of the Goblin royal family; your race automatically changes to Goblin. You can increase experience points by eating, simultaneously recovering HP rapidly, and have a higher probability of making other Goblins submit. As the Goblin King, you have a completely different job system from other Survivors. By leveling up and advancing, you will activate exclusive Goblin jobs…)]

This talent made him a Goblin from the moment he was born, and even his job skills were different from other Survivors.

Moreover, although he could view the chat channel and open the forum, he did not have any territory of his own.

He didn't even have a bonfire or a Lords Cabin.

Liu Yang was born in a Goblin cave. As a newly born Goblin, his level was also only 1.

Although he possessed the [Goblin King] talent, he only had two auxiliary skills: [Eating] and [Playing Dead].

This made Liu Yang want to cry without tears.

He quickly scanned the chat channel.

He discovered that everyone else had descended into this world as humans, and only he had turned into a Goblin.

He felt so depressed!

He didn't dare to tell anyone about his encounter in the chat channel at all.

After all, anyone who had played games knew that Goblins were just low-level creatures.

If they found out he had turned into a Goblin, they might be attracted to this group of Survivors who would farm him like a wild monster.

That would be an incredibly unjust death!

Therefore, at this moment, Liu Yang made a decision: he must never expose his identity!

Fortunately, he discovered that the two initial skills granted by the system were much stronger than those of other Survivors.

The former, [Eating], allowed him to gain experience points by consuming meat.

He didn't need to be like other Survivor lords who had to fight monsters to level up.

The latter, [Playing Dead], allowed him to act like a perfect corpse when activated.

Liu Yang knew that this was what made him unique and was his advantage.

Thus, he began to explore the cave where he was born.

He discovered that there were many other Goblins like him in this cave, which could be considered a small Goblin tribe.

The tribal chief distributed food every day, which consisted of bright red chunks of meat.

Although he didn't know what kind of meat it was, at a time like this, Liu Yang couldn't care less.

So, he began to eat frantically!

However, he discovered that the experience points gained through eating were not as high as he had imagined.

When the first level leaderboard ended, Liu Yang's level had only just reached level 4.

By that time, most Survivors had already reached level 8 or 9, so he was even more afraid to go out and roam!

Later, Liu Yang just kept hiding in the cave.

It took half a month before he finally managed to struggle his way to level 10.

The growth cycle of a Goblin is very fast; in half a month, Liu Yang grew from a young Goblin into a strong adolescent Goblin.

And at the request of the tribal chief, he followed other Goblins out to hunt.

It was the kind of thing he had to do; if he didn't go, he would be abandoned by the tribe.

That was also the first battle of his life!

Liu Yang followed behind the other Goblin warriors, finished off a Tier 2 Snow Wolf, and dropped a Primary Heart of Strength!

Through his observations on the chat channel during this time, Liu Yang naturally knew the function of these Hearts of Strength!

Therefore, he couldn't wait to use this Heart of Strength and successfully advanced!

To his surprise, after advancing to Tier 2, he activated a hidden job—Goblin King!

And he awakened three powerful skills: 'Evil Domination', "Blood of Berserker", and "King's Regeneration"!

This hidden job directly strengthened Liu Yang's combat power significantly, even giving him the strength to challenge elite monsters 5 levels above him!

On that day, Liu Yang returned to the cave, challenged the strongest Goblin captain, and successfully defeated it!

This attracted the attention of all the Goblins in the cave!

The chief personally awarded him the Glory Skull of the Goblin Warrior!

Since then, Liu Yang's status in the cave had risen significantly.

The most obvious change was that he also had the right to enjoy the breeding tools in the cave.

There were many breeding tools in the entire cave, both male and female.

These included humans, Moleman, and Troglodyte…

These breeding tools were subjected to the wanton venting of the Goblins in the cave almost 24 hours a day, without pause.

They couldn't even rest during pregnancy.

Moreover, the growth cycle of Goblins is extremely fast.

In one or two months, they can grow from an embryo into a toddler.

Of course, what is born is also a Goblin.

It can be said that these breeding tools lived a life worse than death every day.

Although Liu Yang was a Goblin, he felt that he was still a human.

He had considered finding an opportunity to release this group of breeding tools.

After all, falling into the hands of these Goblins and becoming a captive was truly miserable!

Until that day, when he took advantage of the Goblins in the cave being fast asleep to secretly let this group of breeding tools go.

The next day, after the tribal chief discovered it, he was furious and vowed to find the culprit!

Not only that, but he also mobilized the entire tribe's strength, built various defensive fortifications in the cave, and prepared for battle!

Liu Yang didn't know what had happened.

As it turned out, that afternoon, a mercenary squad came knocking!

They were powerful and charged directly into the cave, starting to slaughter those Goblins!

One by one, the Goblins were decapitated on the spot by these mercenaries or hacked into several pieces!

Screams rang out continuously in the cave!

Liu Yang realized instantly that it was the breeding tools he had released yesterday that had betrayed him.

Watching the Goblins in the cave being slaughtered one after another, Liu Yang's heart was filled with the fear of death!

Because with his current strength, it was impossible for him to be a match for a group of mercenaries!

Therefore, he used the [Playing Dead] skill and, with great difficulty and danger, escaped the slaughter of these mercenaries.

From that day on, Liu Yang finally realized that he was no longer human.

Those people, including those breeding tools, would not treat him as a human either!

Even if he had saved them, they would only see him as a dirty, ugly Goblin!

After that, Liu Yang's state of mind changed.

He began to head to other Goblin tribes to live, and the flames of revenge rose in his heart!

He knew that the women who escaped and notified the mercenaries did so to take revenge on the Goblins.

Similarly, he could also take revenge on that group of mercenaries.

Hatred is just like that: you kill me, I kill you; unless you cut the weeds and dig up the roots, it is endless.

During an outing to hunt, Liu Yang accidentally discovered his ability.

He seemed to be able to recruit other Goblins to become his henchmen.

Moreover, these recruited Goblins would be under his absolute control!

There was no such thing as loyalty; he could dispose of their lives as he pleased.

Moreover, under his [Evil Domination] skill, all Goblins would increase their attack power and attack speed by 20%, which was far stronger than ordinary Goblins!

Therefore, he quickly thought of a way to become strong quickly!

That was to gather all the Frost Goblins nearby and make them his subordinates!

Then, leading this massive Goblin army to fight everywhere, he would become the true Goblin King!

Then, Liu Yang began to lead his subordinates, the Goblins, to constantly attack the caves of other Goblins and force them to submit.

In just one week, Liu Yang's force expanded from a dozen Goblins to a large tribe of a thousand!

Furthermore, his level successfully broke through to level 20, which was a Tier 3 powerhouse.

After becoming strong enough, Liu Yang found the human mercenary squad that had attacked him back then.

And he tortured them to death with cruel methods!

The female mercenary among them was captured and brought back to the cave, where he began to wantonly toy with her.

For those few nights, the screams of the female mercenary would ring out throughout the entire cave!

Until Liu Yang had played enough.

This female mercenary then became a breeding tool and venting machine for other Goblins.

And Liu Yang experienced the pleasure of revenge, as well as the joy of not being human!

The Goblin bloodline kept influencing his mindset.

He decided that he wanted to be the strongest Goblin King!

To possess the most powerful Goblin army and play with the most beautiful human women!

To capture all the princesses of those kingdoms, noblewomen, and the wives of those nobles, and treat them as breeding tools!

Therefore, he began to lead his Goblin squad to constantly annex the nearby Frost Goblins.

Under the [Goblin King] talent, Liu Yang kept getting stronger, and those Goblins could only submit!

And his influence began to expand at a terrifying speed!

Compared to the Survivors who had to develop their territory bit by bit and then try every possible way to recruit various personnel, Liu Yang's method of development could simply be described as cheating!

In a short time, he had gathered over a thousand Goblins and established a large tribe!

After possessing such massive power, Liu Yang inevitably became even more arrogant!

Therefore, he led this group of Goblins to attack a village.

He killed all the militiamen in this village.

All the women were brought back to the tribe.

As for these women who had become captives, there is no need to mention what their subsequent days were like.

Liu Yang wantonly toyed with these women every day.

When he had played enough, he threw them to the other Goblins.

To this day, they are still alive as their breeding tools, living a life worse than death every day.

As for the men in that village, they were directly treated as reserve food.

He had completely accepted his identity as a Goblin; Liu Yang had become increasingly devoid of humanity!

Power makes people arrogant, and authority makes people corrupt!

Liu Yang was not satisfied with the status quo and began to expand wantonly!

He wanted even more powerful strength; he wanted to toy with the princesses of the kingdom!

However, very soon, Liu Yang's expansion encountered new difficulties.

Because the Frost Goblin forces within a few dozen kilometers had basically all been annexed by him.

Now, there were only two development routes left for him.

The first was to continue expanding, going to farther places, and recruiting more Goblins.

The second was to develop steadily, capturing more breeding tools, and breeding more Goblins.

The first route was much more aggressive and would also carry great risks.

The second was more secure; with the number of Goblins he currently commanded, as long as they continued to multiply, in a few years, he would be able to build a Goblin army of hundreds of thousands!

However, no matter which development method, food was needed!

Only with sufficient food could the tribe continue to expand.

Liu Yang soon set his sights on those weak villagers.

However, there were few suitable targets to attack.

After all, many of the surrounding villages were within the sphere of influence of a Baron; if he made a move on these villages, it would definitely attract the Baron's attention.

Although the feudal system of the nobility ruthlessly exploited them, it also protected these villagers to a certain extent.

Thus, he set his sights on the territories of those Survivors to strike.

Anyway, these Survivors were just a bunch of outsiders with no backing at all!

Liu Yang led his team to raid several Survivor territories.

Inside them, there were actually a few beauties from Blue Star.

In normal times, these women were existences he could never hope to reach.

But now, after being captured by him, they were all trampled under his filthy, oversized feet and toyed with at will!

Liu Yang felt an intense sense of pleasure once again!

He even once thought about flattening all the nearby Survivor territories and snatching all the men and women inside to his tribe.

But he quickly suppressed this dangerous idea!

Because he knew there was an existence nearby that could not be provoked.

If he was too high-profile and caught the other party's attention, he would be in big trouble!

That's right, the existence he mentioned that could not be provoked was Cao Xing!

The existence who was ranked first on the leaderboard twice in a row and was able to challenge the large Ice Dragon Horn!

Cao Xing was the most powerful existence in this vicinity.

He had spied on Cao Xing's territory from afar several times and was shocked by the dense arrow towers and powerful guards inside!

He also knew that he was no match for this person at all.

Now, he was already standing on the opposite side of the Survivors.

If this powerful individual found out that he was plotting against him and had gathered so many Goblins, it would very likely attract the other party's attention!

Liu Yang dared not gamble.

So, during that previous period,

he had only raided one village and three or four Survivor territories.

And worried about being exposed, he killed all those Survivors immediately.

However, recently, Liu Yang's mindset had changed.

Before, he didn't dare to provoke Cao Xing.

But in the last week, the number of his Goblin tribe had multiplied several times over!

The quantity had reached a terrifying level.

With this kind of number, it was no longer possible to hide.

So, before long, he would inevitably be discovered by this person.

His Goblin army and Cao Xing's territory were already the two largest forces in this region.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot hold two tigers; they would eventually have to determine a winner!

Therefore, Liu Yang decided to take the initiative!

Thus, he sent out a Goblin squad to test the waters.

And then, today's scene occurred.

At this moment, Liu Yang rested his chin on one hand, a look of contemplation in his eyes.

Beneath him was a naked woman with a necklace around her neck.

And in front of him, there were even more women lying on the ground like dogs.

When Liu Yang saw the message that his Goblins had been killed, he immediately narrowed his eyes!

"Cao Xing, you've been relatively low-profile this past week. I was wondering what you were doing; so it turns out you were expanding your territory!"

"Heh… you foolish guy, with such strong power, why bother developing a territory!"

"Isn't it faster to just rush into those towns and plunder resources?"

"You are just shackled by the Lord System; you have no idea that jumping out of the system's framework is the faster path to becoming stronger!"

A look of disdain appeared in the Goblin Liu Yang's eyes.

"But it's just as well; your conventional development has given me more opportunities!"

He stood up directly and said in a deep voice: "Cao Xing, you are the biggest obstacle to my domination of this region!"

"As long as I can kill you, no one in the villages and Survivor territories for hundreds of kilometers around will be my match!"

"By then, I can achieve a wave of large-scale expansion!"

"The villagers in those villages and the Survivors in the territories will all become my food and breeding tools!"

"And the women in your territory will all be toyed with by me at will!"

Liu Yang licked his lips, a lustful and greedy look appearing in his eyes.

(PS: I wrote a little long, but because it involves some special Survivor development systems, I still need to write in detail QAQ)

At this time, Cao Xing, after sending Herlie to investigate the situation of this Goblin tribe, came to the [Alchemy Workshop] again.

He saw that Francesca and Sabina had already started working.

Sabina was fine, as she had been staying in the territory all along.

But Francesca had also gone out to fight with him these past few days and had basically not closed her eyes.

Cao Xing asked: "Don't you need to rest for a while?"

The witch was currently focusing on the recipe; hearing his voice, she replied without even lifting her head.

"No need, I am not some delicate woman."

Cao Xing smiled self-deprecatingly and said nothing more.

After all, Francesca was now a Master-level existence, firmly seated in the position of the territory's strongest individual.

Her mental power was even more terrifying than Cao Xing's.

He took the Dragonblood Grass out of his backpack and placed it into the storage box in the Alchemy Workshop.

This stuff was the main material for crafting [Improved Advanced Life Potion].

Last time, after saving the tribe where Dabai's parents were, he had obtained over six hundred of them by chance.

In other words, it was enough to craft over six hundred bottles of Advanced Life Potion.

However, currently, the last material, [Extreme Ice Water], was still a mystery.

Cao Xing asked casually: "Francesca, do you know where to get Extreme Ice Water?"

"I do." The witch said indifferently.

"Huh?" Cao Xing was stunned.

He had just asked casually and never expected to get an answer from her.

The witch folded the recipe in her hand and then put it away elegantly.

Turning her breathtakingly beautiful face towards him, she chuckled: "I really do know."

"Extreme Ice Water, as the name implies, is water that is extremely cold."

"Its temperature is much, much lower than Cold Spirit Water, but it contains a magical power that prevents it from freezing."

"Therefore, the advanced version of Cold Spirit Water is Extreme Ice Water."

Cao Xing was taken aback, "You mean, if I lower the temperature of Cold Spirit Water further, I can get Extreme Ice Water?"

The witch rested her cheeks on her hands and nodded slightly.

Cao Xing continued to ask: "Then what should I do?"

The witch opened her beautiful eyes and glanced at him.

"Continuously inject ice-attribute magic power into the Cold Spirit Water to lower its temperature and increase the degree of magic power contained within the Cold Spirit Water."

"When it reaches a certain limit, it will turn into Extreme Ice Water."

"You happen to be a Frost Mage with powerful ice-attribute magic, so you are perfectly suited for this."

"Uh… is it that simple?" Cao Xing wondered.

The witch fluttered her long eyelashes, and a bewitching smile curled the corners of her lips.

"What else did you expect?"

"The hardest material to obtain in the recipe you gave me was actually the Dragonblood Grass."

"Now that we have the Dragonblood Grass, we can start crafting."

Cao Xing nodded in realization.

"Alright, then next, you should finish crafting all the Holy Water first, and then start crafting the Advanced Life Potion."

The witch readily agreed: "No problem."

Seeing this, Cao Xing prepared to leave the Alchemy Workshop to go out and get some Extreme Ice Water first.

Just then, Francesca said: "Please wait a moment."

Cao Xing turned his head, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there is."

The witch said softly: "I am a Master Alchemist, you should know that, right?"

"I know." Cao Xing replied.

"Then do you know that I have many powerful potion recipes?"

Cao Xing was stunned again.

"You mean…"

The corners of Francesca's lips curled again.

"I have organized some of the more valuable recipes from my mind."

"These include those attribute potion recipes you stole… or rather, swiped from my warehouse before, and also a Master-level potion recipe."

"You can help me collect the materials for them while you're at it, and let me craft them."

"Crafting Life Potions every day, it's always the same process; I'm almost sick of crafting them…"

The witch had a look of disgust on her face. Of course, even when making a look of disgust, she was still so beautiful.

Cao Xing smiled at this moment too. Because, with this witch's Master-level knowledge reserve, the recipes in her mind must be numerous.

And the recipes that she deemed valuable must not be bad at all. Even, among them, there was a Master-level potion recipe.

No matter what it is, once it's touched by the word "Master," it becomes invaluable.

And Cao Xing also knew that this was Francesca's way of thanking him for helping her break through to the sixth tier.

Before this, she had never mentioned anything about recipes.

"Then take these recipes out and let me see them." Cao Xing said directly.

The witch nodded gently, and then directly took out a bundle of recipes from one of the drawers…
