Phew!
Along with the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, several goblins with their bodies shredded were pierced through by a red figure.
Red blood spirits rose from the dead mummy goblins, floating around the swift killing figure and turning into power for her next kill.
“Gah!”
It seemed as if an endless number of goblins emerged from the dark underground passage, holding shields and swords, surrounding Lina and sounding the charge horn.
Lina threw the dagger in her right hand to her left hand, and then quickly threw out several daggers.
Then, her eyes were filled with blood-red light, and her body turned into a blood-red shadow with wings. The red blood spirits floating around her all merged into it.
I saw a flash of red light!
With a hiss, several mummified goblins screamed, their bodies were cut in half and fell to the ground.
Bang!
On the other hand, Yas's fighting style appears rough and aggressive.
He used his fists and palms alternately, and every time he struck out, a mummy goblin's head would be smashed beyond recognition, or its cervical vertebrae would be crushed violently.
However, the number of goblins seemed endless and continued to pour in like a tide.
With a bang, a goblin's head was smashed by Yas's fierce punch, and the sound of the bones cracking was extremely pleasant.
Looking at the goblins rushing towards him like a tide, Yas clenched his right fist, and steel-like muscle lines appeared on his arm. Invisible airflow exploded, like the warm-up before a locomotive runs wild.
A goblin was the first to be hit. He screamed and rushed towards Yas, trying to bite his body.
However, what greeted him was an iron fist as big as a sandbag.
boom-
The moment the fist landed on the goblin, its body turned into dry debris, and then a terrifying airflow burst out and rushed towards the goblins behind it.
The fist wind, like a tornado, instantly tore the goblins apart in just a breath!
Looking at the two people's actions, Roger nodded slightly.
Then he turned around and looked at the mummy goblin leader who was being held down by the jungle guards.
"Any more? Hurry up and yell for another one. Don't waste time."
Although he knew that this guy couldn't understand, Roger still threatened him.
"Roar!"
The mummy goblin leader, who was pinned down by the jungle guards, roared angrily.
Roger immediately turned his head and looked at the underground passages hidden in the corners.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.
The underground passage that seemed to release goblin soldiers endlessly now fell silent, as if it had misfired.
"No more?"
Yas turned around and asked.
"I don't know. I'll try again." Rogge shook his head, turned to look at the mummy goblin leader again, and thoughtfully controlled the jungle guard to release some of the suppression.
However, after roaring several times, the Mummy Goblin Leader still did not call out his minions.
This made Roger frown.
It looks like the Mummy Goblin really has no subordinates left, not even one.
"It looks like there's none left."
Roger shrugged.
Then he asked the jungle guard to tie up the mummy goblin leader tightly with an extendable thorny vine meteor hammer.
The mummy goblin was helpless and could only roar at Rogue and the others angrily and aggrievedly.
"It's better not to kill this goblin. It might summon its minions again after a while."
Lina suggested.
"certainly."
Roger nodded.
They are now in the last direction, which is inside the [road leading to the underground].
Compared with the previous three roads, there is only one type of road monster in this direction.
Goblin.
A large number of goblins.
And it is a mummy goblin that has been cursed with withering.
Generally speaking, this kind of underground goblin nest poses a great threat to a single person, and even an ordinary team finds it difficult to defeat it.
But Rogue not only possesses the powerful weapon of skeleton manipulation, but also has the big meat shield guarding the dense forest and dozens of bone spirits.
In addition, although these mummy goblins are numerous, their strength is not good, so this place has become the best place for Rogue and others to level up.
The last mummy goblin leader was favored by Rogge and his companions because of his skill of [Summoning Subordinates]. They deliberately left him alone to see if his subordinates could continue to reproduce and allow Rogge and his companions to carry out sustainable slaughter.
After three levels of exploration, the strength of Rogge and others has also greatly improved.
[Title: Roger]
[Level: 28]
[Body: 32]
[Spirit: 32 (+1)]
[Faith: 10]
[Rank: Extraordinary]
[Special skills: Potions (Extraordinary) lv10, Mist Flash (Extraordinary) lv8, Knowledge Comprehension (Extraordinary) lv5, Bone Stripping (Extraordinary) lv5, Pharmacy (Extraordinary) lv5, Sword Skills (Extraordinary) lv3, Thorn Bush lv5, Parasitic Thorn lv5...]
[Life skills: Mysticism (Extraordinary) lv10, Blacksmith (Extraordinary) lv5, Fishing (Extraordinary) lv3, Craftsman (Extraordinary) lv1...]
[Derived skills: ...]
The exploration of the next two levels raised Rogge's level by five. Combined with the experience gained from the previous exploration of the Withered Forest and the lava snake Prilas, he is now close to the extraordinary upper limit of level 30.
He also obtained a lot of purple residual souls to improve his skill level.
He also obtained the two skills of the Blackthorn spell.
Lina and Yas have also improved a lot.
From the panel, Rogge could see that the levels of the two had reached over ten.
Their levels themselves were not very high, but with the accumulation of their usual training and the experience gained in this cave, the improvement was still very significant.
Moreover, Lina obtained a [Spinning Blade] skill, and Yas obtained a [Earth Shaking] skill.
Both of these skills are very useful.
Other than that, there are a few finished potions and a bottle of finished magic potion.
However, this bottle of potion is not good enough for Rogue now, and it does not match Nomi, so it can only be left there to gather dust.
All that's left are some equipment and weapons.
There was nothing that Rogge needed, as the equipment and weapons he had were already very good.
But it was still a fruitful experience for Lina and Yas.
"The key to the special treasure chest in the hills should be right here."
Roger stroked his chin.
At the end of Collapse Hills, there is a secret box that looks different from an ordinary treasure chest, but they searched the entire hills but couldn't find the key.
However, Rogge found some clues on the mural behind the treasure chest.
From the simple drawings carved on the stone, it can be seen that the goblins seem to have stolen the key to the stone people's secret box.
That's why Rogge said this.
"Could it be on this guy?"
Yas looked at the mummy goblin leader who was pinned down by the jungle guards.
"It's very likely, but it's still useful to keep it. It's better not to kill it unless it's absolutely necessary. Let's go look around first."
Lina said.
If this mummy goblin leader can stay and give birth to cubs, then they will have an inexhaustible supply of monster spawners.
Sustainable development is king!
"Let's split up and look for it."
Rogge nodded. Before they knew whether these goblins would regenerate, they would not kill the goblin leader for the time being.
The three of them began to search separately.
This search went very smoothly.
The three of them soon found a nest at the end of a passage at the back.
Then Roger and Yas, who entered first, saw a jaw-dropping scene.
There was a familiar black stone platform in the nest, with a key on it and a copper treasure chest next to it.
Next to the black stone platform was a group of goblin cubs trembling in fear.
Of course, this is not the point.
The most shocking thing was that three young goblins were hunching over a green jelly-like object and having sex.
"… "
"What are you two doing? Why don't you leave?"
Lina behind was a little confused.
Rogge stretched out his hand to stop them behind him, raised the magic book in his hand, and silently used the bone stripping technique to send the three goblins to heaven.
"That transparent thing... is it slime?"
Yas was a little unsure.
"should be… "
Roger rubbed his eyes.
The scene just now was really too shocking to the eyes. It was a mental shock that I couldn't bear.
"Go open the box. I'll wait for you outside."
Yas took a step back silently.
"I say, what are you two whispering about? Let me see..." Lina walked forward with a frown, and then fell silent.
"… nausea."
Lina said this and then turned around.
Although it was unclear why goblins, creatures with extremely strong reproductive abilities, suddenly became extinct, Lina felt that this was reasonable.
"Go open the treasure chest."
Lina urged Roger with her back turned.
"… "
Roger was speechless.
To be honest, he now felt that the treasure chest was full of stench and he didn't want to open it.
After he coughed, the purple bone spirit stood up from the ground and loyally carried out Rogge's orders.
Three bone spirits controlled several goblin cubs.
The remaining bone spirits walked forward and opened the treasure chest.
[You found Bone Spike Mace x 1. ]
[You found Goblin Grass Crown x1. ]
[You found a crotchless grass skirt x 1. ]
[You found a slime with a lot of holes x 1. ]
[You found the Warrior's Remnant Soul (Purple) x 1. ]
Damn, this treasure chest has really gone stinky!
Roger cursed in his heart.
Not only were these things some useless weapons or equipment, but he also saw the "slime full of holes" at the end at a glance.
You can easily guess where the prefix “千裂里尽孔” came from.
Rogge didn't want to stay any longer, so he quickly took the key and activated the black stone platform.
[You found the Black Secret Box Key x 1. ]
[You activated the black stone platform.]
[The mysterious seal has been completely solved! ]
[You can't use the teleport function to reach the 'Withered Altar' now.]
Boom…
Along with the appearance of this series of prompts, the entire cave began to shake violently, and rock fragments in the underground passage fell down.
However, this situation did not last long and the vibration soon stopped.
Just as Rogge was about to speak, he saw that the voice-transmitting conch in his inventory had moved.
[Captain Roger, we have found what you need.]
It seems that they should have found the tear crystal of the 'Book Eye'.
"What happened just now?"
Yas looked around and the passage had calmed down.
"It should be due to the abnormal movement caused by the activation of the four stone platforms."
Lina said.
There are black stone platforms in every direction of the altar, and this is the last one.
Now that the four stone platforms have been activated by Rogue, the Withered Altar can no longer be teleported directly there.
"I have to go back first."
Roger said.
Lina and Yas nodded. They also saw that Rogge received the message from the conch shell.
"Go and open the secret box. We will go back to the ship first."
Lina said that he and Yas could not be teleported through the secret image, but could be summoned a second time by Rogge.
However, summoning also has a cooling time, and it is impossible to summon at any time.
Roger nodded.
Then he sent Lina and Yas back to the Green, and then teleported himself to the Collapse Hills using the key.
Rogge came to the black secret box on the ground.
He had a hunch that the black secret box might be different from the treasure chest.
[You used the Black Secret Box Key to open the Black Secret Box.]
[You found the Spiritual Flame Curse (Secret Scroll) x 1. ]
[You found Rock Pendant (Secret Scroll) x 1. ]
[You found special stone coins x 20. ]
After opening the secret box, Rogge's eyes lit up.
Because inside the secret box, there were two leather scrolls padded with special stone coins!
Skill Book!
Roger was a little surprised.
Even though he had previously acquired the two skills [Thorn Bush] and [Parasitic Thorns] that came with the Blackthorn spell.
But the annoying thing is that the former [Thorn Bush] is a skill that changes the terrain.
The latter [Parasitic Thorns] is a skill that sucks blood and restores health.
So he still lacks hard attack means.
[Spiritual Flame Curse]
[Type: Special Books]
[Reading requirements: Mental 20, Physical 7. ]
[Effect: After reading and studying this book, there is a chance to gain a special skill - Spirit Flame Curse. The user can release spirit flames to attack spirit creatures, or inflict soul damage on melee weapons.]
[Description: Wisdom from ancient wizards.]
It really is a skill book.
And it looks like this skill can not only cast spells directly, but also enchant
Roger happily put it away.
[Rock Fall]
[Type: Special Books]
[Reading requirements: Spiritual 11, Physical 10. ]
[Effect: After reading and studying this book, there is a chance to gain a special skill - Rock Drop. The user can use mental power to form a large number of rock balls to attack the enemy.]
[Explanation: Wisdom from an ancient wizard... This ancient wizard initially just wanted to move rocks to smash his enemies to death.]
After putting away the skill book, Rogge breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he learns these two skills, he will be a qualified magician in the future.
Before this, he was a top expert at breaking bones, but without bones, he could only scratch his head...
Now, he also has other magical skills, and can finally be called a qualified wizard.
After opening the black secret box, Roger took out the key and prepared to return to the Green.
With the tear crystal of the book-collecting eyeball, the most critical ingredient of the potion, Rogge can refine the "Reader" potion for Mira.
…
The central royal city of Ozurik Island, the Cathedral of the Mother Goddess.
In the spacious church hall, the statue of the Mother Goddess stands with her arms outstretched, her eyes closed, and a compassionate expression on her face.
Below was filled with devout believers, led by several missionaries. They clasped their hands over their hearts, their bodies slightly bent, and their expressions solemn.
All around are the blue-armored devout knights holding devout greatswords.
Under the statue, a middle-aged man in a blue and white bishop's robe was explaining the scriptures to a group of believers on the stage.
After the explanation, the man bowed reverently to the statue of the mother goddess, bent down and kissed her toes.
"May the Mother God bless you."
His face became as compassionate as that of the Mother Goddess.
"May the Mother God bless you."
"Spread the glory of the Mother Goddess."
The believers behind him murmured devoutly.
The bishop stood up, looked at the believers behind him, and said loudly: "Believers of the Mother Goddess."
"It has been several decades since the divine revelation came."
"Now, we have spread our faith throughout the royal city and the two seas, and have driven out the extraordinary witches and demons who possessed unknown powers. The glory of the Mother Goddess will soon spread across the five seas!"
"The royal family is our important ally, and they will also be protected by the Mother Goddess."
"The people under their rule are also potential believers. If they are disrespectful to God, they must be forgiven and influenced by kindness to demonstrate the Mother Goddess's tolerance of all things."
"But some people cannot be forgiven. Their sins cannot be washed away even by the pure water bestowed by the Mother Goddess."
The bishop took out a bounty with a sketch of Roger and his crew and the flag of the Green on it.
"This man is called Rogge, and he is the most sinful witch demon in the five seas. He slaughtered our devout knights in Nadwilo and committed the terrible crime of slaughtering missionaries in Giant Claw City."
"As long as such sinners appear in the five seas, as believers of the Mother Goddess, we have an obligation to purify them and send them to the deepest hell to repent forever!"
The bishop put away the reward order and spoke slowly.
"But now, we have a more important mission."
"In a week, the sword-wielding ceremony will officially begin."
"His Highness, the Second Prince Anderson, has been bathed in the glory of the Mother Goddess for a long time. He is kind and steady. He will definitely be chosen in the sword-wielding ceremony and become the next king of the Thousand Islands Kingdom."
"By then, all missionaries and devout knights must be present."
The bishop glanced at everyone with a calm gaze, then put his hands on his heart, and then stretched out his arms with a compassionate expression.
"The Mother Goddess's mercy will surely descend upon the five seas!"
"May the Mother Goddess bless us, and may the glory of the sea last forever."
After listening, all the believers also recited devoutly.
"May the Mother Goddess bless us, and may the glory of the sea last forever."
On the table behind the bishop, a stone carving was emitting a faint light.
…
The sword ceremony is coming.
The importance of this ceremony to the Thousand Islands Kingdom is self-evident.
Since this concerns the next king, there are naturally countless discussions among the people.
"I feel that the eldest prince should be the best candidate. After all, he is the eldest son, and he is also very brave and controls a lot of the kingdom's fleet..."
"The Second Prince is better. He has excellent governance skills and a good relationship with the royal ministers. Moreover... the Ninth Prince has suffered losses before. What if the First Prince is as desperate as the Ninth Prince and takes the Kingdom's fleet to take risks?"
"Have you never thought about the Third Prince?"
"Him? He just came back more than a month ago. It would be strange for the Sword of Odakiro to choose such an irresponsible prince who doesn't do his job properly!"
Several people gathered together to discuss.
One of them suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the distance with his peripheral vision, and quickly patted the person next to him.
"Look, it's those guys from the Yonghe sect again!"
"What do you want us to protect or not eat this time? Beans? Or onions?"
"I'm curious why there are fat people in their sect?"
"Maybe it's the reincarnation of a pig. After all, only pigs can eat vegetarian food and gain weight. Hahahaha..."
The object of their laughter was a group of people in green robes in the distance, who were preaching earnestly to the people.
There are many churches like the Yonghe Sect, and what they believe in are all very strange and bizarre.
The island, the sky, the dragon and everything else are relatively normal.
Some small churches have rather bizarre beliefs, with things like pumpkins.
"The Royal City... has it always been like this?"
At this time, Rogge changed his appearance and became an ordinary civilian. He asked the mysterious man beside him who was also disguised as an ordinary civilian.
"It wasn't before, but it is now."
The mysterious man responded.
"The religious forces headed by the Mother Goddess Church are secretly spreading supernatural knowledge related to faith. They intend to turn all the islanders in the five seas into fields of faith."
His eyelids drooped slightly as he looked at the believers who were preaching their doctrines in a high-sounding manner.
"Because of this, they continue to exclude ordinary extraordinary people and judge them as witches and demons, causing a gap in extraordinary knowledge."
"It is becoming increasingly difficult for the extraordinary people to survive in the five seas."
Hearing this, Roger turned and looked at him: "So, are there any potion masters in the royal city now?"
"There is one."
The mysterious man responded: "It's from our organization."
"The remaining potion masters are either in the Sea of Sin or have already left the Five Seas."
"They are important targets for the church. We either win them over or find ways to get rid of them."
Only when the extraordinary disappear, they, as messengers of the gods, will appear sacred, and the gods will be high above...
Roger immediately thought of one of the reasons why the church did this.
Just think about it and you will know.
The church’s message to the common people is that God can bring miracles and hope, and that they can do this through the power of prayer.
But if some extraordinary people can do this without believing in God, doesn’t it make their church look lame
Therefore, over the years, the church has spared no effort to stigmatize and demonize those with extraordinary powers, which eventually evolved into the situation where those who possess extraordinary powers are now considered sorcerers and witches who need to be judged and sent to the stake.
Of course, the reason why they were able to proceed so smoothly is closely related to the fact that the number of extraordinary people in the five major seas is relatively small.
"Once you meet the Shadow Leader, he will probably tell you more secrets."
Mysterious humanity.
"Shadow Leader?" Roger was a little surprised. "I didn't come here to see him."
He came here for many reasons. The first was to communicate and learn from the only remaining potion master in the Shadow of God. The second was to see if he could find the matching potion for the last crew member, Nomi.
Then take the tear crystal of the book's eye back with you.
Hearing Rogge's words, the mysterious man smiled, turned around and said something to him.
"I'm already here."
… All right.
Rogge was speechless, but he had to admit that what this guy said made sense.
Since you're here, there's no harm in meeting the movie star.
Perhaps he could tell me more extraordinary secrets.
One ball a day!
