He thought of some terrible possibilities—the goblin engineers might possess terrifying technology that combines biological and mechanical elements. If that were true, it would be extremely bad for the potential war between the six races in the future!

Wu Zhan's guess was correct; goblins do indeed possess this distorted technology of modification. What seems completely unreasonable to humans can be produced in a rather "reasonable" way in their hands.

This differs from the ratmen, who, while also possessing techniques for modification, stitching, and berserk reproduction, generally target their own kind rather than modifying other species like goblins do...

This is due to their respective racial talents.

The news from Yun Xiangrong caused quite a stir among the guild members.

Jiang Yi was the first to shout in the channel: "Boss! I think this is an opportunity, we can't just sit idly by! Those goblins clearly have ill intentions. If they capture the Frost Giants and turn them into war machines, will we still have any good fortune in the future? We should help the giants fight off the goblins. That way, we might even win the favor of the Frost Giants and gain another powerful ally!"

This suggestion received a lot of positive feedback from players.

The alliance with the powerful frost giants certainly sounds tempting.

However, Liu Nian frowned and said in the channel, "I object."

He calmly stated, "The number of goblin players is 'extremely large,' those are Yun Xiangrong's exact words. We only have a few dozen people here at most, with varying levels. Daring to plunge into a melee of that scale is practically suicide. If we're not careful, we might not only fail to save the giants, but we could also lose everything and be surrounded and wiped out by the goblin players. At that point, forget about forming an alliance; even our own development plans will be put on hold."

Liu Nian's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the impulse of some people.

Wu Zhan was also seriously considering it. Indeed, with their current strength, it was too unrealistic to confront a goblin player legion head-on.

"Liu Nian is right. It's too risky to get involved rashly. Liu Nian, what are your thoughts?" Wu Zhan asked, as he now valued Liu Nian's opinion very much.

Liu Nian pondered for a moment and said, "Since there are 'juvenile' Frost Giants here, it means there must be a Frost Giant tribe nearby, and there must be adult Frost Giants among them. If the juveniles are already level 70, their adult strength is unimaginable. If we can find their tribe..."

He didn't need to say anything more; he believed Wu Zhan already understood his meaning.

Jiang Yi questioned, "I admit you have a point, but this place is so big, where are we supposed to look?"

"Not difficult." Liu Nian's thinking remained clear. "First, the direction the goblins came from means the giants' tribe definitely isn't in that direction. They're most likely in the opposite direction of the goblin attack, or on their flank. Second, and most importantly, frost giants live in extremely cold environments. Just feel where the air is colder and the temperature is noticeably dropping, and head in that direction—you can't go wrong!"

Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this: That's right! Environmental features are the most obvious road signs!

"President, Liu Nian makes a lot of sense," Yun Xiangrong suddenly spoke up again in the channel. "We actually already know which direction those three young giants came from. There's a very tall glacial tunnel there, and the giants most likely came out from there! Moreover, I'm certain the giants' lair isn't far from here, because goblins used bombs to collapse the tunnel and added sound-blocking devices. They probably did this to prevent other giants from coming to their aid!"

"Ah Yun, is there any way for you to get into that tunnel?"

"We were already thinking of a solution while you were talking. Although the collapsed tunnel is impassable for a giant, there are still many gaps in it that we can pass through. We are trying to get closer!"

Liu Nian said, "President, don't you have that bomb?"

"A bomb?" Wu Zhan was taken aback. "Oh, you mean that hand grenade?"

The "Dr. Boom's Generosity" auto-replenishment grenade canister was the reward Wu Zhan chose when he first completed the dwarf quest. This item can effectively destroy terrain.

"Then let's hurry and get moving!" Wu Zhan immediately decided. "We can't delay, or the giants might not be able to hold out! This time, we'll all set off together!"

Based on the coordinates provided by Yun Xiangrong, the entire Longyuan Guild marched at breakneck speed and soon arrived at the edge of the battlefield where goblins and giants were fighting.

They hid behind a cluster of jagged rocks, and the sight before them made everyone gasp.

It was an open area, now a scene of devastation, with charred craters, broken metal parts, bloodstains, and shattered ice crystals scattered across the ground.

In the center of the battlefield, three young Frost Giants (LV.70) are back to back, locked in a fierce battle.

Their bodies were covered in wounds, their crystalline skin cracked in many places, oozing blue blood, and their movements were slowed by exhaustion and pain. One giant's leg was wrapped in a huge metal net, and its other two arms were pierced by specially made spears... all of which severely restricted their movements.

They were besieged by hundreds of goblin players!

Just as Yun Xiangrong described, they drove mechanical logging machines that emitted black smoke and clanged, controlled rotorcraft that hovered low and constantly dropped bombs, and rode modified fire lizards that spewed flames and agile subterranean deinonychus. They used their numerical and mobility advantages to constantly harass and wear down the enemy, and waited for the right moment to launch those specially made large hunting nets and crossbows that gleamed with a cold light.

The players were extremely anxious; judging by this momentum, the giants probably wouldn't last much longer!

My health bar is less than half full.

However, Liu Nian remained unusually calm. Judging from the goblins' attack methods, they focused on control and attrition, clearly aiming to capture them alive. Therefore, the giants were not in immediate danger.

Wu Zhan's expression was also calm, his sharp gaze sweeping across the battlefield, finally settling on the rear of the battlefield, at the entrance to the collapsed glacier tunnel.

There were several goblin players guarding the area. They were not participating in the attack in front, but were vigilantly guarding the collapsed pile of rubble and watching over the shielding device.

Among the crevice of those collapsed boulders, one can vaguely see many dark cracks.

Yun Xiangrong said from the side, "Don't worry, Lin Ying has already sneaked over to check, and we should have news soon... He's here!"

Before Yun Xiangrong could finish speaking, the news arrived.

Wu Zhan glanced at it, then lowered his head to consider it for a moment, and decided there were no problems: "Okay, let's do it this way!"

Several support characters cast spells on the group, granting them invisibility, silent movement, and agility. The group slowly made their way along the boulder towards the entrance of the collapsed glacier tunnel.

Their operation proceeded very smoothly, masked by the deafening sounds of battle.

By the time they moved behind the rock closest to the cave entrance, they were less than fifty meters away from the tunnel entrance.

There's no way so many people can get through this distance, because group invisibility isn't like the powerful single-target invisibility of an assassin. With so many people moving together, it's easy for them to be detected.

However, there were no enemies between here and the tunnel entrance; their only enemies were the five goblin players guarding the tunnel entrance.

Moreover, the five green goblins were fully focused on the battlefield ahead.

"kill!!"

At Wu Zhan's command, thirty-four members of the Dragon Abyss Guild surged forth like a torrent, charging towards the tunnel entrance!

"Wow...! My lord, what's that?"

"It seems...it seems...Quick, quick, quick! Someone's coming to rob us!"

"Idiot! They're here to fight!"

"There are so many of them, we can't beat them, run!!!"

"Wait for me, you coward..."

……

The five goblins ran away before they could even get close...
