[Adult Sand Goblin]
Race: Sand Goblin
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Level: Warrior 3
Talent: None
Base Attributes: Strength 2, Dexterity 2, Intelligence 2, Constitution 2
Combat Attributes: Club Mastery Level 1
Skills: Bash
The above describes the attributes of one of the Sand Goblins. Yes, they are indeed very 'two' (terrible)... The Mud Fishmen are slightly stronger in terms of their four attributes, but only to a limited extent.
Clearly, even Mo Tan, who hasn't yet obtained a combat class, could easily take down any one of them in a one-on-one fight, or even two or three at once without much trouble.
Zephyr Saine's initial attributes aren't much better, so the situation is roughly the same.
As for the members of the Savage Earth Dragon Mercenary Group, they could easily knock down several of these dirty, scrawny little things with a single blow. However, this doesn't mean the caravan is out of danger. In fact, the battle is still very difficult, unexpectedly so.
When the number of enemies accumulates to a certain point, it can often overwhelm quality, unless there is an absolute, crushing level of power. Otherwise, even a heroic class can't withstand a sea of enemies.
Even Mag, the strongest among them, can only manage to chop down four or five monsters with one strike. Even using skills that consume a lot of energy, he can only kill a dozen Sand Goblins or Mud Fishmen at most. But the number of enemies is just too great...
Wood Sprites aren't a race without any combat ability. In fact, in dense forests, they are even more threatening than Elves. These slender twig-people can easily merge into any tree that is more than ten years old and resonate with it, making the jungle extremely aggressive. They even have many unique forest-based spells...
But this damn place has hardly any trees to be found!
Otherwise, they wouldn't need to hire any mercenary groups. They might even be more likely to rob a mercenary group with their nasty personalities.
So the real combat power consists of only the twenty-three members of the Savage Earth Dragon Mercenary Group and the Earth Dragon.
The enemies outnumber them by an utterly unscientific margin of dozens!
If that weren't the biggest problem, then the archer who nearly killed the mustached man at the beginning is what truly gives everyone a headache.
From the start of the battle until now, the opponent has already reduced the Savage Earth Dragon Mercenary Group by three members with their archery skills while remaining hidden, creating a great psychological burden for the caravan members and forcing everyone to spare some energy to be on guard.
And the negative impact of this deterrent is gradually increasing.
Mo Tan is standing beside the red-robed woman supporting the defensive barrier, protecting the caster. Wielding two ordinary iron swords, he slashes and bashes, forcing back two Sand Goblins, nearly tripping in the process. He still hasn't adjusted to the fact that he suddenly has a tail.
Despite having the game experience of two characters, and the memories and experiences of each personality being shared, unfortunately, neither Hei Fan nor Mo Tan has ever actually fought anyone.
The former logged off right after reporting to the barracks...
The latter, despite completing the tutorial mission and even taking down a powerful necromancer above his level, did so by using his intelligence and acting skills to outsmart him to death, without any combat experience.
Right now, Mo Tan's body is covered in cuts and bruises, and his health is only at sixty percent. This is only because the other mercenary members are constantly looking after him; otherwise, the situation would be even worse.
At this moment, the entire path has been completely 'embraced' by Sand Goblins and Mud Fishmen, and what's even more despairing is that these guys still seem endless, with no end in sight.
A torrent of surging flames swept past Mo Tan, engulfing more than twenty Sand Goblins along the way...
[Flame Dragon's Breath] Fire School Active Skill Mastery Requirements: Fire School Level 5, Intelligence 15 Consumption/Restrictions: 60 Mana Effect: Create and launch a cone-shaped flame in front of you, dealing fire damage to all targets, causing them to be confused for 1 to 3 seconds due to the sudden heat, and inflicting a burning effect. Cooldown time: 10 minutes. [Note: A long, long time ago, the Red Dragon clan sued the founder of this spell, the great Gnome Archmage Tonton. Shaomei, to the Tribunal for copyright infringement and extorted a huge fine from them. Three days later, Redscale Dragon Peak was turned into an active volcano by an unnamed Gnome mage, causing heavy casualties to the Red Dragon clan.]
The Sand Goblins, with their extremely low magic resistance, instantly turned into balls of moving fire under the flames, while a large number of Mud Fishmen with very low fire resistance nearby also shoved each other in confusion.
"You've done enough, run!" The female mage, having exhausted her last bit of mana, smiled at Mo Tan and Zephyr Saine, who was guarding her behind her. "I've cleared a path. This is the last chance!"
As she pointed to the temporarily empty, charred path, a system prompt sounded in the ears of both players at the same time.
[Tutorial Quest Completed]
The two looked at each other and found the answer in each other's eyes. Then, they quickly opened their character and skill panels.
Mo Tan lunged forward, holding the iron sword horizontally in front of him, and crashed into several Sand Goblins crowded on the side of the fire-scarred path!
[Crashing Strike] Weapon-based Active Skill Mastery Requirements: Swordsmanship Specialization Level 1, Strength 5 Consumption/Restrictions: 20 Stamina, Holding a Melee Weapon Effect: Dash 1-10 meters, dealing a small amount of physical damage to enemies in the path and knocking them back. Cooldown time: 3 minutes. [Note: Generally, for new recruits who have just received training, we always tell them: Be reckless! As long as you're reckless enough, you'll be fine! - A certain Black Soul training camp instructor who died in his first battle]
"I think the people in this training camp are probably a suicide squad..." Mo Tan rolled his eyes and spat out a complaint, muttering, "This name is too ominous."
Seeing this, everyone must have guessed that Mo Tan chose Warrior as his class reward the moment the system quest was completed, and immediately gained several basic skills and attribute bonuses, which is why the above scene occurred.
Meanwhile, Zephyr Saine took similar action, except he chose the mage class.
A gentle breeze stirred as a low, profound rhythm emanated from Saine's mouth. Mo Tan and all the warriors of the Savage Earth Dragon Mercenary Group felt a lightness in their bodies, their movements becoming noticeably quicker and more agile.
[Song of the Great Wind] Wind Element School Active Skill Mastery Requirements: Wind Element Knowledge Level 1, Intelligence 5 Consumption/Restrictions: 8 Mana, Perfect Pitch, Mandarin Level 7 Effect: Increases the Dexterity of friendly units within a 60-meter radius by 5, Movement Speed by 3%, and Evasion Rate by 2% for 10 minutes. Cooldown: 15 minutes. [Note: The great wind rises, the clouds fly, might covers the land, returning to the homeland, where can mighty warriors be found to guard all directions! P.S.: Letting an ancient Chinese language intern participate in the skill design team was definitely a brain-dead suggestion!]
"You two!" Mag, who had fought his way back from the front lines, looked at them in surprise. "You're not ordinary travelers!"
"No time to explain!" Mo Tan said anxiously, although he didn't expect the dwarf warrior to get on the fast track after his last sentence. He instead said with a serious expression, "We'll break out from the left and open up this path!"
He was naturally referring to the path cleared by the Flame Dragon's Breath earlier, the dense fire element aura causing the Sand Goblins and Mud Fishmen to instinctively fear it.
"Alright!" Mag knew that now was not the time to talk, and Mo Tan's suggestion was quite reliable. He immediately made a decision and began organizing everyone to widen the breakout path.
As for the hillside...
"Looks like it's not this group." A person wielding a heavy crossbow, his whole body encased in cyan plate armor, muttered to himself. "Can prepare to let those cannon fodder retreat... Huh!?"
Pfft!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time, the large number of Sand Goblins and Mud Fishmen below seemed to have been hit hard, falling to the ground, their fates unknown...
[You have been forcibly disconnected. Do you want to reconnect?]
"..."
[You have been forcibly disconnected. Do you want to reconnect?]
"...Yes..."
[Reconnection starting...] [Connection established. Loading character information.] [Innocent World has opened its doors for you. The character creation process is about to begin...]
Standing on the stone slab, Mo Tan regained consciousness, looking around somewhat blankly...
"Is it... me?" He raised his hand somewhat unnaturally and placed it in front of his eyes, murmuring, "What's going on..."
A series of booming sounds came as nine large doors stood around him, waiting for Mo Tan's choice.
"Choice?" Mo Tan's eyes seemed to have regained their clarity. He asked softly, "Is it necessary?"
Of course, no one would answer him in this place.
"Is it necessary?" He raised his head, opened his hands, and a wisp of evil curved at the corner of his mouth, repeating again, "Is it necessary?!"
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
Eight of the doors actually exploded directly, shattering into pieces, and then even the remnants turned into a part of the void, leaving only the scarlet door that constantly emitted a black halo, trembling slightly... open...
"Are you afraid of me?" Mo Tan walked up to it and patted the frame of the [Chaotic Evil] door in a comforting manner, then smiled. "Relax~"
After he walked in, this only remaining blood-colored giant door on the stone platform was still trembling slightly, as if it had encountered something terrifying...

"The Original Sin and the Unfortunate, huh..." Mo Tan said calmly, "I understand a lot now~ and 'that one' is also worth paying attention to."
[Please name your character]
"Mo," Mo Tan said casually.
[Character name: Mo, please conf...]
"Huh?"
[Adjust appearance?]
Mo Tan looked at the identical image of himself in front of him and shook his head slightly.
[Character creation complete, Chaotic Evil Mo, welcome to Innocent World]
Opening his eyes, Mo Tan found himself standing in a luxurious hall. A band in the corner was playing a lively tune, and many people around him were holding wine glasses and talking animatedly. They were all humans, dressed in elegant and expensive dresses, clearly the 'upper class' of this society. Obviously, this was the scene of a noble's party.
[Guidance Quest triggered]
Mo Tan opened the quest panel, glanced at it briefly, and then said expressionlessly to the air, "Forget it, I think you know what suits me best."
[...zzzz...]
A burst of static came, and Mo Tan noticed that everyone around him paused unnaturally for a second before returning to normal.
His quest log had quietly changed.
[Unique Quest - Destroy Everything]
"Heh~ I know." He smiled, smiling like a child...
A young man dressed as a waiter walked up to him with a tray and politely asked, "Can I get you something, sir?"
"Of course, I need a lot, a lot..." Mo Tan smiled politely and appropriately, a wisp of unnatural black light flashing in his eyes, "So first, could you please die in the most ostentatious way you can think of?"
Innocent World, Holy Calendar 9571. A catastrophe erupted in the Sand Empire, located in the far south of the continent. According to the investigation, it all started at the end of a certain noble's party.
A waiter who tore open his chest and climbed onto a chandelier, spinning wildly, terrified everyone.
In the following three hours, Banse City, the site of the incident, was reduced to a dead zone, with rivers of blood and corpses everywhere, and not a single survivor. The few scene fragments that remained were the limit of what the Sand Empire's Archmage could reconstruct using the top-tier arcane spell - Mirror of the Stars. But even this glimpse of hell caused great psychological trauma to the witnesses at the time.
From that day on, this wealthy city, known as the 'Pearl of the Sand', famous for its colorful pearls, was forever consigned to history. Even its land became a cursed place because it carried countless wronged souls. The perpetrator, however, remained at large, disappearing without a trace. It wasn't until a year later, when that person was finally recognized by the world, that people realized that the terrifying legends he could bring were far more numerous...
—Memoirs. Volume 3 of the Beginning of the Sin King
[You have exited the game, the mental connection has been disconnected, I wish you a good morning.]
When Mo Tan was vaguely awakened by the game pod, he seemed a little dazed.
"I remember I was supposed to be breaking through with the Wood Sprite caravan... why did I suddenly wake up?" he muttered to himself, then turned to look at the phone next to the game pod, and was immediately shocked.
"How is this possible! 7 AM!? Is the time wrong!?"
