Obviously, Rong had no idea about those forums as he was still stuck within the Dark Days instance figuring out how to move forward. All he knew was that it was best to pick up anything that glitters on the ground.
By the time he had managed to close himself off away from the group of Goblins and fought them in a narrow space within a broken down house, the Ox Demon Cultivator was already panting and had no choice but to use his Grade 1 Enhancement Technique, Ox Stamina, to temporarily regain his strength to fight against those Goblins.
And to make things worse, he had to make sure that they were dead. There was an instance where he thought he had killed a particular Goblin and focused on fighting the rest off within the living room of the broken down house. That particular Goblin pretended to stay dead until Rong had his guard down before stabbing him from the back.
