Ignoring that talent that Xiao Yu could not help but complain about, the Advanced Hidden Job made him more confident and eager to go out and kill some Adventurers. But he still remembered that when he played Monster Mode previously, he had been killed very badly. Hence, he decided to go out with some companions.
He found a Goblin Warrior and said, "Hey, let's go out and kill some Adventurers."
That Goblin Warrior shook his head in fright. "You're crazy. Those greedy Adventurers are so terrible, we would never dare to go out."
Xiao Yu found a Goblin Scout. "Hey, do you want to kill some Adventurers together?"
Goblin Scout shook his head too.
He asked five or six Goblins in a row and they all gave him the same answer.
"Sh*t, what a bunch of crap," Xiao Yu thought. Just as he was feeling unhappy, the Goblin Chief came out of the tent. "Recently, there have been many Adventurers around, hence I decided to set up a patrol team to patrol nearby. If the Adventurers attack our camp, we can notice in advance. Would anyone like to join the patrol team?"
That was just perfect for Xiao Yu. He hurriedly volunteered.
Eric (Goblin Diviner) said, "High Priest, please give me this mission. I will definitely complete it well."
Craigan (Goblin Chief) answered. "Well, you can choose ten Goblins in the tribe as your subordinates to carry out the mission together. Remember, if you encounter any Adventurers, don't be reckless, just come back and report."
Haha, he had finally become a leader again. But then he laughed at himself. "I was the Fire Demon Overlord and had countless monsters as subordinates. Now I'm so excited over a few Goblin subordinates. Is that necessary?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little listless.
Xiao Yu chose six Goblin Warriors and four Goblin Scouts and then left the camp.
Not far away, they saw a boar eating some grass.
Boar (level 8 wild beast), HP 208.
The wild beasts' stats were really high. Even with similar levels, their HP was over 200.
Xiao Yu stopped immediately. "Everyone, prepare to fight. Listen to my orders. As soon as I set off the fireball, you will shoot together. Understand?"
Seeing the Goblin Scouts nod, Xiao Yu waved his staff and a fireball flew out.
Bang! A damage of 12 showed up on the head of the boar. Next, four arrows were also shot at it, which made the roar rush towards them angrily.
What a stupid beast! Hadn't it seen a bunch of Goblins over here?
But the boar was very fast—it rushed in front of Xiao Yu with a forward charge.
Xiao Yu had no confidence in soloing it, because the stats of wild beast monsters were much higher than those of human monsters. But, fortunately, he had his subordinates.
"Shoot, shoot! Warriors, attack now!"
Under Xiao Yu's command, all the Goblin Warriors swarmed up and chopped the boar to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Not bad. Although the EXP was shared among them, an increase of 19 points of EXP was much better than killing the frogs.
Although they were all monsters, there would be battles between monsters in Firmament. For example, carnivores would attack herbivores and hunt, or different forces of wild monsters would fight for territory. Xiao Yu, with his team of Goblins, was not in a hurry to patrol. It would be nice to kill monsters and get stronger along the way.
In the past, he did not have such a chance when playing Monster Mode. Every time he went out to level up by fighting other monsters, he would only have a slim chance of surviving. No wonder everyone wanted to be the leader. This feeling was so nice, even when he was just a small leader of Goblins.
On the way, they met many monsters such as wolves, boars, and spiders. As Night Whisper Forest was located outside the Elf Novice Village, the monsters were of low levels. Along the way, wild beast monsters such as wolves, boars, and deer were only about level 5 to 9, which were just perfect for Xiao Yu to practice on.
After wandering around the camp for more than an hour, Xiao Yu finally rose to level 8, which was the same level as Goblin Trainer Shrek, and only lower than the Goblin Chief.
However, he had not met any Adventurers. Suddenly, the body of a wild wolf on the ground captured Xiao Yu's attention.
After squatting down to check, the wolf's fur had been peeled but the meat was still there. Apparently, this was done by Adventurers. Looking forward, there were more bodies of wild animals. Xiao Yu's eyes lit up as it seemed there were Adventurer players leveling nearby. The EXP for killing Adventurers was much higher than killing monsters. "Let's go."
Not far from Night Whisper Forest—
"Little White, kill it! Yes, that's right. Watch this." A female Night Elf Hunter in emerald green leather armor was drawing her bow and shooting at a huge boar in front.
The Little White she was calling was a white wolf. The Hunter and the wolf were only level 7, thus they were having a tough fight with a level 10 boar.
Next to her, there was a level 7 Night Elf Mage in a robe who was shooting a fireball at the boar.
The wild boar, however, was a Rare Elite called "Broken Teeth", with an HP of more than 400. Its dark fur was scary at this time, but they were still fighting hard.
In addition, there was a Night Elf Bandit with black leather armor and long, silver hair. She was standing at the side, watching the battle as she was playing with her dagger idly.
This Bandit was a level 47 Mercenary Mode player. Judging from her excellent equipment, she was clearly an expert. Otherwise, she would not have a Mercenary Mode character at such a high level. However, she was only watching from the side and did not seem to want to help.
"Are you sure you don't need my help?" As these newbies seemed to be struggling to fight back, the Night Elf Bandit called Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser seemed to want to make a move.
"I'm very sure and couldn't be more sure. With your power, that monster will be dead in a single move. Then what the hell would we play with?"
The female Mage was called Tearless. She looked pretty but did not have the demure that a girl should have when she spoke. On the contrary, she was quite shrewish.
"Sister Moon Scar, don't worry, we can do it," the Elf Hunter said gratefully. Her name was Non Cat-Eating Fish. As she spoke, she shot out another arrow.
Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser shrugged her shoulders, stood beside a big tree with her arms folded, and continued playing with a pair of dragon teeth daggers.
Suddenly, a trace of light shined across Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser's eyes. She seemed to have noticed something. Her figure blurred and disappeared in the air.
"Oh, it's finally over!" When its HP finally dropped to zero, the big boar fell down. Looking at its body, both of them looked at each other and laughed. "Eh, where did Moon Scar go?" the female Hunter asked strangely.
"I think she's out to scout. She's our mercenary, she can't go too far. Try to change your wildlife tracking to human creature tracking," Tearless suggested.
Hunters had a tracking skill that could track all kinds of creatures, but only one kind could be tracked at once. Previously, she had activated wildlife tracking because they were adventuring in the forest. After hearing the Mage's suggestion, Non Cat-Eating Fish nodded immediately. "Okay, Sister." She then switched her skill.
She almost jumped up when she completed the switch. As soon as the human creature tracking was activated, countless red dots appeared on the small map. "Wow, there are so many monsters nearby."
"What?" Tearless was shocked.
The next second, they heard a shout. "Go, guys!" Many Goblins rushed out of the woods.
