The Goblin Treasury Key

[Hunter Mask (White)]

[Quality: Common]

[Equipment Effect: Increases Spirit by 3 points.]

(Note: If you wear this mask, you will be considered a follower of the Evil God. When traveling on the continent, you will be listed as a wanted target by the major towns.)

Cao Xing froze. This mask was a faction item.

He shook his head and put it in his inventory. Three points of Spirit weren't worth it.

He continued checking the other item.

[Tier One Soldier Training Manual (White): Use this manual to train ordinary people in your territory into Tier One soldiers with combat ability.]

Cao Xing's eyes shifted. This was the training manual he needed early on.

He could train Dazhuang, Erzhuang, and the others into combat troops, and they could gain experience through battle later.

[Coins *15, the continent's universal currency. You can use coins to buy supplies or recruit followers in the towns of this world.]

There wasn't much to say about this. Money made the world go round.

With enough coins, you could even buy attractive female slaves in town.

Then Cao Xing began searching the bodies one by one.

[Obtained Hunter Mask (White) *1, obtained Coins *13]

[Obtained Tier One Soldier Training Manual (White) *1...]

After finishing with the bodies, Cao Xing searched the tents in the camp.

However, inside those tents, Cao Xing saw a sight that made him feel a little sick.

In the corner of each tent lay several frozen body parts. The limbs and heads had been cut off separately.

The torsos had been placed over strange symbols, the limbs arranged in the four cardinal directions, and the heads laid on the chests.

It looked like some kind of evil ritual.

Although he knew the Hunters were all followers of the Evil God, mad to the core,

he still couldn't help feeling nauseated at the inhuman scene before him.

As for Liu Muxue, standing nearby, her lips had gone pale.

"Damn, these Hunters are vicious as hell!"

Cao Xing suppressed his nausea and continued searching inside.

He picked up all the supplies he found.

[Obtained Wood *17, obtained Stone *6, obtained Iron *3, obtained Food *7, obtained Inferior Wine *3, obtained Coins *71.]

Then he walked out of the tent and continued searching the next one.

There was another poor soul who had been dismembered inside.

Cao Xing continued searching every corner for supplies.

[Obtained Stone *7, obtained Wood *17, obtained Iron *6, obtained Coins *62...]

[Obtained Moldy Nuts *3, obtained Dry Bread *5, obtained Coins *34...]

[Obtained...]

Following behind him, Liu Muxue watched Cao Xing's unusually thorough looting in astonishment.

He was like a locust swarm passing through, refusing to leave anything behind!

Soon, Cao Xing had searched all the tents in the camp.

After excluding the other resources, Cao Xing had collected a total of 1,072 Coins here, along with nine [Tier One Soldier Training Manuals].

Cao Xing was delighted. This money was enough to buy an attractive female slave and bring her back to his territory to serve him and Liu Muxue.

No! Why the hell did I keep thinking about female slaves?

Cao Xing hurriedly shook his head.

At the same time, Andrew walked over.

"Lord, I found something unusual on that fallen fellow."

Cao Xing turned around and asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Andrew held out a bronze-colored key and handed it directly to Cao Xing.

[Obtained Goblin Treasury Key *1: With this key, you can go to coordinates 32141, 23513, 3521 to open the Goblin Treasury.]

(Note: This area may hide some special dangers. Proceed with caution.)

Cao Xing: "???"

"Holy crap! A Goblin Treasury!"

In this world, the Goblin Race was weak, but they were extremely skilled at digging and treasure hunting.

So Goblin treasuries often contained precious treasures.

However, the system had also warned him that the place was dangerous.

Cao Xing opened the mini-map and checked the coordinates recorded on the key.

It was about 40 kilometers away-not too far.

But before he had built a means of transportation, he couldn't get there in a day.

"Looks like I won't be able to open this treasury anytime soon..."

Cao Xing shook his head and put the key in his inventory.

At that moment, Asam had made a new discovery too.

"Lord, I found the refugees those Hunters captured."

"However, there don't seem to be many of them left."

Asam said with a frown.

Hearing this, Cao Xing immediately went over with Liu Muxue.

They arrived at the tent at the very back of the camp.

Lifting the flap, Cao Xing saw several people tied up like pretzels inside.

There were men and women, and among them, Cao Xing also saw a child.

Just as Asam had said, there weren't many of them left.

There were only seven in total.

When Cao Xing entered, fear flickered in the humans' eyes, and they all begged for mercy.

"Sir, please don't kill us!"

"Sir, please let us go!"

Clearly, these people had been terrified by the Hunters' methods and were desperately begging for mercy.

Cao Xing glanced at their names.

[Colin Hopper lv3]

[Lucho Lore lv2]

[Marlin Kuhn lv2]

[Survivor: Tong Chuchu lv1]

When Cao Xing saw the last name, his eyes widened.

"Hm? A human?"

Liu Muxue saw the name displayed too, then said, "A Xing, it seems to be the little girl in the corner."

"She's also a human from our Blue Star."

Cao Xing looked carefully. Although the little girl wore a simple coat made of straw, the school uniform underneath still gave away who she was.

At that moment, the little girl was still in a state of fear and unease, and she looked at Cao Xing with terror in her eyes.

Liu Muxue went over and comforted her softly. "Little one, we're not Hunters. We're humans from Blue Star, just like you."

The little girl raised her delicate face and looked tentatively at Liu Muxue.

Once she confirmed that Liu Muxue was indeed a human survivor, she immediately burst into tears.

"Waaah... Those masked men took my father away. He'll never come back... Waaah..."

After crying for a while, the little girl seemed to realize something and hurriedly stopped.

She looked nervously at Liu Muxue and apologized. "I'm sorry, big sister. Chuchu shouldn't have made so much noise. Please forgive me..."

Liu Muxue shook her head and said sympathetically, "It's okay. Can you tell big sister what happened?"

Tong Chuchu nodded, seeming to gather her thoughts.

Then she spoke in a childish voice. "Yesterday, I went out with Dad to look for food. We hadn't gone far when we were suddenly attacked by several arrows."

"Then... then we ran into those scary people wearing masks."

"We were captured..."

"They beat Dad up, then took him away that night. Waaah..."
