Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 9: Exploit the bug to farm experience!

This goblin is different from that tree spirit with arms and legs.

Tree spirits are relatively well-behaved; they usually stay hidden in the forest and only attack intruders who enter their range.

The goblin was formed from the evil energy of the earth's veins. It was born fierce and wicked, a legally defined evil species that never stopped doing bad things!
Although it's not that it's completely unaware of fear—in fact, it's quite timid—it won't shed a tear until it sees the coffin—it was extremely bold at the beginning!
Aside from tigers, wild boars, and bears, even ferocious beasts like leopards and large snakes will dare to attack if they have a numerical advantage! But if a few are killed, they'll scatter in all directions.
This thing is especially famous for its large quantity!

In the game, there are players who specifically hunt goblins on a large scale to level up. It is said that as long as the techniques and routines are prepared well, the efficiency is very high.

When the number of goblins in a region increases, they take pleasure in harassing villages and attacking humans.

However, these monsters usually live in remote, dangerous places like deep mountains and forests or barren meadows where there are few people.

……

The two goblins were still confused and didn't know how they had suddenly gotten there.

But as soon as he saw Chen Xiuxian alone, he immediately grinned maliciously and charged over, brandishing the small stick in his hand.

They didn't even consider whether those two 1.23-meter-tall trash could beat Chen Xiuxian, who was 1.8 meters tall.

Chen Xiuxian had now finished his warm-up. He took a step forward and slammed his round shield down on the goblin running ahead!
With a crisp "smack," it hit him right in the face!

Standing at about 1.23 meters tall, he held the round shield at an angle, and the force of the blow was very smooth! He knocked the person to the ground!

However, the goblins behind them had already arrived. One of them leaped more than half a meter high and raised the club in his hand to smash it on Chen Xiuxian's head.

Then Chen Xiuxian's secret weapon flew out, and a plume of white smoke slammed into the goblin's face.

A scream rang out, and he collapsed to the ground.

Chen Xiuxian kicked away the goblin whose nose and mouth were bleeding profusely and whose mouth was crooked, which was blocked by the shield. Then, the short knife appeared in the hand that had just held the "secret weapon white lime bag" and went up to stab the goblin who was covering his eyes and screaming in pain in the chest!
With three muffled thuds, the goblin, whose eyes had been almost blinded by quicklime, bled profusely like a deflated sack.

—It's red too!
At this moment, the goblin who had been hit by the shield's big punch finally recovered a little, and then smiled brightly when he saw Chen Xiuxian with blood splattered on his face.

That laugh nearly made the goblin wet himself.

Goblins are naturally timid, but when they do evil, they become incredibly audacious.

Now that they've realized they're no match for the opponent, they're completely defeated. They've dropped the club and are about to run away.

How could those short legs outrun Chen Xiuxian?
They caught up with him and started hacking at his head with an axe!
A short knife is definitely not as handy as an axe.
"Ding~ You have killed a level 2 goblin and gained 50 experience points."

"Ding~ You have killed a level 2 goblin and gained 52 experience points."

In just over ten seconds, I gained more than a hundred experience points!

"Whew~ That feels great!" At this moment, Chen Xiuxian was just like a deranged killer.

He was laughing even though there was still blood splattered on his face.

However, before he could catch his breath, the array on the ground started to light up again.

The forum says that this is the last wave of monsters that has been encountered.

However, Chen Xiuxian doesn't intend to fight to the end...

Just then, the third wave of monsters appeared.

There was only one, but it was engulfed in flames and was actually a fire spirit that was 1.7 meters tall!

The thing's upper body was like it was made of flames, very bulky, with two thick arms and a small head with a pair of fire-emitting eyes. Its lower body was like a cloud of smoke that began to narrow and disappeared half a meter from the ground.

"Damn it!" Chen Xiuxian couldn't help but curse.

Although I hadn't originally planned to engage in this battle, I somehow managed to acquire a Fire Spirit. Isn't that a bit too much?!
At this moment, the two goblins had slowly turned into a pile of black soil. Chen Xiuxian scooped up a card that was emitting a faint white light from the black soil and turned to run out of the cave.

Once outside the cave, the fire spirit did not chase after them.

Chen Xiuxian first drank some water, ate some dry food and jerky, and then examined the white light card he had just picked up.

This wasn't in the original "Great Thousand Hongmeng" game; it does look a lot like the quest cards in my quest log.

This card doesn't seem to be a physical object, yet Chen Xiuxian can hold it in his hand.

The size of a playing card, with a white border, and a picture of... a broken club?!
[Goblin Club (White)]

Tier 1 Equipment Card
Power: 2
Comment: Keep it for firewood~
what? !

The goblin dropped some gear, a club?

"How do you use this thing?"

As Chen Xiuxian asked the question, the card transformed into a club and appeared in his hand.

It's about 40 centimeters long, thick at the top and thin at the bottom. The Gada Ryukyu tree is covered in burls and looks quite primitive.

After waving it around a couple of times, Chen Xiuxian had to admit that the assessment was accurate; this thing was at best slightly better than being empty-handed, not much. It probably really was only good for starting a fire.

As for what this "power: 2" means?
If this club has a power of 2, then my wood-chopping axe must have a power of at least 6, right?!

As for why there are "card elements" that are not in the game, it is probably related to the card game external plug-in that I carelessly forgot to remove.
……

After resting for two or three minutes, not wanting to waste time on talismans and pills, Chen Xiuxian stood up again, regrouping to enter the cave once more.

Chen Xiuxian initially planned to fight two waves of monsters and then retreat, waiting for the "refresh"!
In the game, this monster-fighting part of the adventure can be repeated indefinitely.

Many players of suitable level will take the opportunity to farm ten or eight more waves of monsters, which can be considered a hidden bonus.

Therefore, even if the third wave of monsters is not the difficult fire spirit, Chen Xiuxian will still retreat.

However, Chen Xiuxian wasn't sure if the real world would still be like this now.

But at least the procedure for summoning monsters using the ground magic circle is the same, so hopefully it will work out!
Carefully stepping into the cave, I found that the fire spirit was indeed gone!
After taking a few steps closer, the magic circle on the ground lit up, and a tree spirit appeared!

"Good! Well done!" Chen Xiuxian rushed forward and began hacking away with his axe!
Chen Xiuxian: Sorry, I had a craving for spiking!

Chopping down this tree spirit yielded another 65 experience points. It even dropped a white card, a material card called [Camphor Wood (White)].

Before Chen Xiuxian could take a closer look, the magic circle lit up, and two stupid and wicked goblins appeared...

Chen Xiuxian hid outside the cave again; this third wave of monsters was still fire spirits.

It seems we need to think of a way to cure it!

This thing is at least level 8, and its body is covered in scorching flames. I probably wouldn't be able to kill it with a few swings of my axe, and I might even get burned.

It’s not easy to deal with!
Damn it! The system's detection function is gone too, otherwise at least we could know its level!
However, it's also clear that the final mission reward will be very good.

This is also a conclusion drawn from the game: if the three waves of monsters are difficult, the final reward will be better than usual.

I've really hit the jackpot!

After resting for two minutes and drinking some water, Chen Xiuxian went back into the cave.

We must take advantage of the talismans and pills still being effective and refresh them as much as possible, as quickly as possible.

Without these buffs, I might not be unable to win, but my efficiency would be much slower, and I would be more prone to injury.

Chen Xiuxian didn't even have time to eat, he was busy killing monsters in waves, and he did it three more times, by which time the effects of the talismans and pills had worn off.

Efficiency starts to decrease!
Chen Xiu thought about it for a while, but ultimately couldn't bear to use the talisman again.

For that third wave of fire spirits, I'll definitely have to use up some talismans. If I'm unlucky enough to encounter some higher-level monsters on the way back, I'll probably have to use up some talismans too.

This is all the cards I have left in the early stages, so I need to save them as much as possible!

However, without the boost, Chen Xiuxian became weak again.

Even when the shield was used to slap the goblin's face, it didn't feel as powerful anymore.

Even using a shield to defend against the tree spirit's claw attacks felt difficult.

After trying a few more times, he even got injured by accident—this time the goblin had a stone in its hand, which smashed Chen Xiuxian's shoulder and left it bruised!

In addition to the previous abrasions, contusions, and impacts, Chen Xiuxian took another [Blood-Replenishing Pill (White)].

This thing can replenish 150 points of Qi and Blood within 15 minutes.

Chen Xiuxian only has 90 points of Qi and Blood.

This thing works really well. In just five or six minutes, the swelling and soreness on my body were gone, and the bruises on my shoulders had mostly faded away.

"Don't waste the medicine's power, charge!" Chen Xiuxian picked up his axe and shield and charged into the cave again.

We fought from morning until noon, grabbed a quick bite, and continued fighting in the afternoon!

However, this is the real world after all, and this "bug" cannot be exploited indefinitely.

When the sun began to set, around three or four o'clock, surprisingly, no more strange occurrences occurred!

As soon as you enter, the magic circle summons fire spirits!
I've tried several times, and it's always the same!

Chen Xiu thought to himself: I guess all the monsters in the vicinity have been spawned!

During this period, we killed not only goblins and tree spirits, but also several earth golems, a lone wolf, and a giant toad with a diameter of more than half a meter...

It is evident that this magic circle may be used to "teleport" monsters from nearby locations.

As a result, Chen Xiuxian killed all the monsters that could teleport nearby, about sixty of them!
The short sword is chipped and broken from all the chopping, and the axe is almost worn down!
The reward is a whopping 3386 experience points!
Including what I accumulated before, I have 3432 experience points!
