Chapter 33 - The Strange Black Crystal
Chapter 33: The Strange Black Crystal
Translator: Zayn_
At this time, three Tier 5 elite Goblin Kings rushed out, looking at the surroundings and charging towards the succubi.
Elise and Maggie, along with the two battle succubi in the air, had already locked onto them.
As soon as they came out, they immediately went up to meet them.
Facing the charm and attacks of Elise and the two Tier 6 battle succubi, along with Maggie’s support, these three Tier 5 goblin kings could not resist for too long.
Two black goblin kings died in battle, and the last one had fallen flames on his body as he fled in a panic.
As he fled, he let out a strange cry and gathered a group of black goblins that were close to the rear to escape with him.
The battle lasted for twenty minutes and was almost a one-sided massacre.
Of course, many succubi on the side of the succubi army were injured, but there were no casualties.
The two battle succubi slowly landed on the ground. The surrounding succubi dressed up the injured succubi and began to clean up the resources in the black goblin tribe.
The succubi removed the black armor from the black goblins’ corpses while Elise entered the wooden house where the goblin kings had been.
The moment she entered, Elise saw three wooden treasure chests.
Looking at the three wooden treasure chests in front of her, Elise did not open them directly. Instead, she had a few succubi bring the three chests away and carry them back.
They searched around and found some energy crystals.
This time, apart from the black armor, they had also obtained many weapons, such as daggers, scimitars, and bows.
Among them, there were many magic staffs with large energy crystals embedded on them. They were all transported back by the succubi.
After returning to the territory, Ren Qi looked at the spoils of war that the succubi had placed on the ground, and a smile appeared on his face.
Some of these weapons and armors could be sold to Luo Ming, while the rest could be used to arm the succubi.
Right now, Luo Ming’s mining speed for refined iron was quite fast. If there was abundant refined iron, then it could be used to make equipment.
However, equipment above Tier 3 would require forging blueprints.
Some humanoid monsters might have forging blueprints, but most of the blueprints were obtained by trading with lords who had awakened dwarves or other auxiliary forces, so they couldn’t be rushed.
Following that, Ren Qi’s gaze fell on the three large wooden chests in front of him.
When he arrived in front of the three wooden chests, Ren Qi directly opened one of them.
This wooden chest was filled with energy crystals. Moreover, these energy crystals were very big, almost twice the size of ordinary energy crystals.
Ren Qi’s face lit up. These were relatively high-quality energy crystals. They were usually used to replace the energy on a magic staff.
A lord who had awakened a mage would need it more.
Ren Qi nodded in satisfaction and opened the second wooden chest.
The second wooden chest was mostly empty. There were only two magic crystals inside.
Although there were only two, it was still a huge harvest. It was even the most valuable of all the spoils of war.
At least Ren Qi did not expect that he would be able to harvest magic crystals.
This made Ren Qi look forward to the third chest.
Slowly opening the third chest, Ren Qi was stunned when he saw the items inside.
The third box was also mostly empty. There was only a huge black crystal inside.
It looked somewhat similar to a magic crystal, but the color was more profound. There was even a special pattern engraved on it.
A strange fluctuation was being emitted from the crystal.
Ren Qi frowned. He had never seen this kind of crystal before. Moreover, he had searched through the knowledge he had learned in his mind, but there was no such crystal.
However, since it was placed in one of these wooden chest, it must be something important.
Ren Qi thought for a moment and put the three wooden chests into the warehouse.
Although he didn’t know what the black crystal was, Ren Qi didn’t think too much about it. He placed it in the warehouse first to see if there would be any clues in the future.
After that, Ren Qi posted a trade message in the chat group.
The content was to use thirty sets of black armor to exchange for high-level demonic meat.
After dealing with this black goblin tribe, the item he gained the most was this black armor.
There were more than 300 sets!
After selling 100 sets to Luo Ming, Ren Qi kept 100 sets for himself and decided to sell the rest.
However, Ren Qi didn’t choose to sell all of them at once. Instead, he sold them little by little to maximize the profits.
What Ren Qi was lacking now was high-level demonic meat.
After all, Elise was at Tier 5, and the two battle succubi and Maggie were both at Tier 6. Tier 3 demonic meat didn’t have much of an effect on their levels.
This was because the same amount of demonic meat of any tier needed the same amount of time to be consumed and converted into energy to level up.
Naturally, the energy contained in Tier 6 demonic meat was much more than that in Tier 3 demonic meat.
When thirty sets of armor were put up in the chat group, it instantly caused a heated discussion.
[ F*ck! There are actually thirty sets of armor for sale. Where did Big Boss 777 get this from? ]
[ They must have taken out some humanoid monster stronghold.]
[?Sob, sob. I’m really envious of 777. I’m still defending against the monsters around me. Meanwhile, they’ve already produced so many pieces of equipment. ]
[ It’s an old cliché. What exactly is 777’s troop-type? Is there anyone who knows? ]
[ Boss! Please protect me! ]
By now, most of the new lords could go out and hunt. After all, their troops had been raised to a certain level.
Only some of the lords whose soldiers were particularly weak could only hide in their territories.
Therefore, the new lords had a deeper understanding of the situation outside.
There were all kinds of monsters wandering around their territories. Some of them were low-tier, while some were high-tier.
Although their units were powerful enough for them to go out and hunt, it was still very difficult for them to steadily produce demonic meat and even sell such black armors.
After all, if they wanted to sell things, they had to be extremely wealthy.
There were still quite a few lords who had humanoid soldiers. Ren Qi’s thirty armors were quickly sold in exchange for a large amount of high-tier demonic meat, enough for Elise and the others to eat for the next few days.
On the plateau, Li Tianlan was leading her five elemental thunder qilins to hunt another Poison Scorpion King.
Her luck hadn’t been too good the past two days. Although she had killed a Poison Scorpion King, she hadn’t obtained any magic crystals.
“I hope there are magic crystals in this Poison Scorpion King’s body.”
Soon, the Poison Scorpion King in front of her fell to the sharp blade of the five elemental thunder qilin with a mournful wail.
After disintegrating the Poison Scorpion King, Li Tianlan was pleasantly surprised to find a magic crystal in it.
“Great, I finally got the magic crystal!”
“My luck is really bad. According to my previous speculation, the drop rate of the monsters here is much higher than outside.”
“With this magic crystal, my recruitment pool can be upgraded. I can recruit more five elemental thunder qilins every day.”
Then, Li Tianlan turned on her communication device and looked at the active topics about Ren Qi in the chat group. Her expression was a little complicated.
This guy’s strength isn’t bad. It seems that he can safely tide over this demon wave.
Thinking of this, Li Tianlan let out a sigh of relief.
Although she hated this guy, she still hoped that he could tide over this demon wave.
After all, they were all new lords, and they should stand together.
Although this guy’s attitude towards her was very hateful.
