Chapter 62: Attacking the Goblin Lair!

Chapter 62: Attacking the Goblin Lair!

Cao Xing was overjoyed.

An 18-point increase in attack power was indeed very excellent!

Then, he continued to cast [Frost Magic Shield] on the other territory members.

Since this skill had a 120-second cooldown,

Cao Xing took nearly an extra half hour to apply the buff to everyone.

In an instant, everyone was covered in a layer of ice crystal shield, which occasionally burst forth with a startling wave of cold air.

Sarah and Andrew looked at their bodies in surprise; both could feel that their survivability had been greatly enhanced.

Everything was ready.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Then Ilena, take us to that mine to have a look!"

Ilena's beautiful human head nodded slightly, and she said respectfully, "Alright, respected Lord~"

With that, she swayed her snake-like waist and headed into the deep snow.

Under Cao Xing's command, Assam, Andrew, Sarah, and the four robots all set out.

To ensure no unexpected accidents occurred, Cao Xing even brought Dabai along.

A grand group of figures marched into the snowy field.

Crunch! Crunch!

The tracked robots began to move.

The tracks rolled over nearly fifty centimeters of accumulated snow,

leaving two deep ruts behind.

Liu Muxue said softly, "The snow is so thick."

Sitting on a tracked robot, Cao Xing nodded. "Indeed. If you threw a person in there, they'd be buried instantly."

"And this is just light snowfall. If we encounter heavy snowfall or a blizzard, I really don't know how bad it will get."

Liu Muxue nodded in deep agreement.

Besides this, Cao Xing also knew that after the early stage of the game passed, even more terrifying natural phenomena would appear.

Such as avalanches, earthquakes, heavy snowfalls lasting nearly half a month, extreme cold currents, and even low temperatures below -80°C.

The severity of this world's weather far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Right now, everything was just an appetizer.

Ilena continued to lead the way ahead.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

A deep, dark cave entrance appeared ahead, highly inconspicuous due to the cover of snow.

Cao Xing looked closely.

Before him, a system prompt for the mine appeared.

[Medium Copper Mine: Special Resource Point]

[Remaining Extractable Resources: Copper Ore * 7,862, Iron Ore * 3,215, Stone * 10,893]

[Current Status: Unclaimable]

Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly. "This is actually a copper mine!"

The importance of copper went without saying.

He needed this metal to build many things now.

Once he secured this mine, he wouldn't have to worry about copper resources for a while.

Overjoyed, Cao Xing continued to approach and observe the entrance of the mine.

The cave entrance was not large, only big enough for one adult to enter.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "In other words, under these circumstances, the big guys won't be able to enter the mine?"

The four robots, including Dabai, the Frost Wolf, and Andrew, could only stay outside.

Cao Xing didn't care too much.

After all, according to what Ilena said, the strength of the Frost Goblins inside wasn't very formidable.

With Sarah, who had already reached Chieftain-tier, they could completely wipe out all the goblins inside.

Thus, Cao Xing felt completely reassured and ordered, "Assam, Sarah, let's go in."

"Andrew, Ilena, you are in charge of guarding the perimeter outside."

"Other creatures, wait here."

Andrew and Ilena nodded respectfully, standing in the snow to guard the four robots and Dabai.

Meanwhile, Assam dismounted from his wolf.

Then, with a 'shring', he drew his longsword and entered the mine first.

As for Sarah, she also vanished into the darkness immediately.

"Muxue, let's go in as well."

After saying this, Cao Xing stepped into the mine first.

Liu Muxue followed closely behind.

After entering the mine, his vision went dark, and a system prompt appeared.

[You have entered the resource point: Medium Copper Mine.]

[Current Temperature: -32°C]

Seeing the temperature display above him, Cao Xing chuckled. "It's actually quite warm in here. No wonder those goblins chose to make this place their lair."

At this moment, Assam was already walking ahead of Cao Xing, wanting to eliminate any potential dangers for his Lord.

"Lord, please watch your step. There are Spike Traps set up by the goblins here," Assam warned from ahead.

Cao Xing looked down and indeed saw a wooden board covered in spikes beneath his feet.

Stepping on it would pierce the sole of one's foot and trigger mechanisms on both sides of the cave.

[Spike Trap (Tier 1)]

[Quality: Common]

[Durability: 100/100]

[Attack Power: 23–25]

[Effect: Deals 100% damage to the target that steps on the trap, reduces their movement speed by 20%, and inflicts 3 stacks of Bleed.]

…

Obviously, this was the same type of item as the [Beast Trap].

Cao Xing decided to disarm these traps when they came back out.

Disarming them now might alert the Frost Goblins inside the cave.

Cao Xing took a torch out of his backpack and threw it to Assam.

"Assam, catch."

Assam caught it and held it high above his head.

The blue light instantly dispelled the darkness, illuminating the interior of the mine.

The walls of the cave here were bronze-colored, indeed containing rich copper and iron resources.

Assam then led Cao Xing and Liu Muxue deeper into the mine.

Not long after moving forward, the space inside gradually widened, suggesting they had entered the inner depths of the mine.

Just then, Cao Xing saw a group of blue-skinned creatures with large noses and pointed ears appearing ahead.

They were either holding spears or short knives, resting against piles of straw.

Before Cao Xing, the attributes of these goblins appeared.

[Frost Goblin Pitcher: Level 8]

[Race: Goblin]

[Health: 620]

[Attack Power: 54–57]

…

[Frost Goblin Shooter: Level 10]

[Attack Power: 67–69]

…

[Frost Goblin Archer: Level 12]

[Race: Goblin]

[Health: 3,240]

[Attack Power: 263–274]

[Skills: Ice Arrow (Fires an arrow carrying frosty energy, dealing 120% of attack power as damage and causing enemies to be slowed)

Multi-Shot (Fires three arrows in succession, each dealing 80% of attack power as damage)]

[Talent: Goblin Bloodline (Can breed with the opposite sex of any race)]

…

Seeing the talent description above, Cao Xing couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Should he say they truly lived up to the goblin race?

At this moment, a Frost Goblin holding a spear seemed to sense Assam's presence and woke up from its slumber with a start.

Then, it immediately saw the Frost Wolf Knight holding a longsword.

The Frost Goblin instantly cried out, "Humans! Brothers, grab your weapons!"
