Chapter 9: 9. Darkness invasion, King of the Tauren

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Dark Tomb was not as dark as he had imagined.

The walls were inlaid with candles that could not be burned out, and the stones on the ground emitted a blue light, allowing people to see the things around them.

The air was filled with a dense aura. If anyone cultivated here, they would definitely obtain great benefits.

There was a large square in front of them. Whether it was training or building something, they could get anything they wanted.

Further in was a small house, and inside the house was a Dark Store where anyone could exchange items.

The spoils of war that he had picked up previously could also be exchanged here.

It did not have the function of selling items for gold coins and then using the gold coins to buy other things.

All the items had to be exchanged for something of equal value.

If you want something, you have to bring out something of equal value.

Even the experience points required to level up could be obtained through exchange!

This excited Su Chen as the spoils of war he had picked up were not entirely useless.

However, there was something else he had to do before he made any exchanges.

He retreated to the square and took out the Golden Horn.

The Golden Horn was a tool transformed from the Goblin Horn after it was amplified by 100 times.

Apart from being able to command other goblins, it could also allow the goblins to gain a lot of defensive abilities.

However, the real reason Su Chen brought it out was to summon new goblins.

He blew the bugle horn and activated this skill. The square in front of him lit up and 100 new goblins were summoned.

The new goblins were still short, ugly, and did not look very smart.

However, Su Chen did not care.

He believed that under his leadership, even a useless goblin could slowly grow into a God of War.

First, he poured out the loot he had collected and distributed it to the 100 goblins.

The attributes of this batch of defense equipment were rather poor.

There were also only a few items that could be upgraded by 100 times critical hit.

Hence, the goblins’ overall combat strength was not strong.

If they were to follow Su Chen to invade other territories, they were still a little lacking.

Therefore, Su Chen placed them in the Dark Tomb as guards.

After all, if he was fighting on the front line and his base was captured by others, that would be more devastating than anything else.

With the guards appointed, Su Chen busied himself with other matters.

The goal of the next invasion was clear, and that was to get the Sword Spirit.

However, Fei Ya’s strength was still unknown and Su Chen also needed to improve his own strength.

There seemed to be something in the air in the Dark Tomb that could help him recover his stamina.

Hence, this was the best place to cultivate.

He went to the Dark Store again and placed the rest of his equipment in the shop, exchanging them for a large amount of experience points.

The experience points that could be exchanged for items, which had been enhanced by 100 times critical hit, had also increased a lot!

After exchanging the items for experience, Su Chen successfully rose to Level 2.

He opened the attribute panel to check, but the increase was a little disappointing.

Name: Su Chen

[ Race: Goblin ]

[ Grade: Goblin Warrior ]

[ Level: 2 ]

[ Attribute: Strength 15.3, Agility 36.5, Physique20.4, Spirit 50.5 ]

[ Skill: Precision Shooting ]

“All my attributes have only increased by a little over one decimal point. Is this the difference in leveling up for evolution?” Su Chen muttered thoughtfully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was necessary to obtain the Sword Spirit.

However, he should first use these seven days to improve his combat skills!

…

Seven days passed by in a flash. Su Chen had prepared to attack the Swordsmithing Mountain Territory.

He had to get his hands on the Sword Spirit!

There was still an hour before the Dark Invasion. Su Chen held a crystal ball in his hand and he used it to receive information Ye Fan had found out.

The Swordsmithing Mountain Territory, which was about to be invaded, was located on a tall mountain. There was only a long and narrow upslope road, and a large number of towers from laser, cannon to other defense towers which were built at both ends of the mountainous road.

The tight layout of the place, coupled with the terrain that gave the defense an upper hand against attack, made the Swordsmithing Mountain Territory extremely difficult to break through.

Most importantly, there was a group of armored cavalry at the city gate.

Not only were these cavalrymen extremely destructive, but they were also very strong in defense.

However, Su Chen had a way to deal with it.

Evolution and leveling up were his preparations for this invasion.

The defense equipment that he took from Ye Fan could enhance his defensive power.

The attack power of pinwheel’s shuriken was enough to break through the defense of the armored cavalry.

Most importantly, when he was observing the dark whirlpool in the Swordsmithing Mountain Territory, Su Chen discovered something crucial.

The beast tide that invaded the Swordsmithing Mountain Territory was a group of taurens.

Taurens were much stronger than goblins, both in terms of attack power and intelligence.

Almost every tauren was at least at level 3.

The Tauren Leader had even reached level 5, and its stats were much higher than the average tauren.

There were still ten minutes before the new round of Dark Invasion. Su Chen had exchanged for ox heads, horns, and other props from the Dark Store to disguise himself.

He then infiltrated the army of taurens.

After all, it was risky to invade by himself. If he could invade with a large group, it would be much safer.

Not only could he pick up equipment, but he also had many people acting as his shield, so he felt more secure.

The disguise was a success. After blending into the troops, the taurens did not notice anything strange.

Even the Tauren Leader was only stunned for a moment when he saw him.

Even though he felt that this subordinate was a little strange, his intelligence was only slightly higher than the goblins.

He did not find any flaws in Su Chen’s disguise but only looked at his strange subordinate in a daze before turning around and walking towards the dark vortex.

However, at the next second, the Tauren Leader suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back!

He turned his head in surprise and found that his strange subordinate was stabbing him with a knife!

How was that possible?

How did he manage to pierce through his hard skin?

The tauren, who already had low intelligence, was a little confused.

The moment he turned around, he saw his stomach being stabbed a few more times!

All the taurens around them were shocked and looked at them in a daze.

His eyes, which were already round and bulging, became even more ferocious because of this.

Swoosh!

The Tauren Leader cried in pain, wanting to summon his subordinates to kill this traitor.

Unfortunately, his order came too late. As soon as the cry was made, Su Chen suddenly raised his knife and slashed him. The sharp blade accurately landed on the Tauren Leader’s neck!

In an instant, fresh blood spurted out and splattered on the nearby taurens. All of them were dumbfounded!

Su Chen’s movements did not slow down at all. He violently removed the Golden Horn of the Tauren Leader and embedded it on his head!

He was now the leader of the taurens!
