Chapter 119 They Have Gone
Wei Xi slashed his sword horizontally at the two goblins in front of him. The sword easily sliced through their necks as blood spurted up from the neck. The head flew upward, spinning around in the air with their eyes wide open.
After that, he shook the sword to clear the blade from the blood before he sheathed the sword back to the sheath. He then scanned the surroundings, checking on his team members.
They were doing well, the goblins were no threat even to the slave groups. After making sure everyone was okay, he looked toward a direction, toward the big steel door ahead of him.
The two goblins he killed just now were the last goblin in this big hall. They were in the deepest part of the cave, in the big area where most of the goblins gathered.
"Do you guys need a rest?" Wei Xi asked his team members while walking toward the door. Nine of the slave group in his team immediately nodded their heads. The goblins might be low-level but their numbers were not a joke.
"Good, you have ten minutes to breath!" Wei Xi shouted to them while inspecting the steel door in front of him.
His team members were relieved as they got down to the ground. If it was Tang Shaoyang, there would be no rest until they finished all goblins, including the one behind the door.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Everyone immediately looked toward Wei Xi. Their Captain was hitting the steel door with the handle of his sword, and they did not know what he tried to achieve with that.
"This is not just a random metal, it's quite hard," He muttered in a low voice, "Should I try to cut the door with the sword?" The man was wondering how the goblin could build a proper door made of metal while he encountered no door on the way to here.
Just as he was about to test how hard the metal door was, the gap opened in the middle. Wei Xi took three steps back as the door slowly pushed open toward him.
When the door was opened fully, he got to see the creature that pushed the door from the inside. It was the same goblin but there was something different with this goblin, they were tall, almost twice taller than the goblin they encountered just now.
What made these goblins taller was not their frame got bigger but because their feet were longer. Stick, the right word to describe their feet, skinny and long just like a stick.
[Basic Detection]
—————————
[Monster - Goblin]
Affiliation: -
Evolution: Stage 2
Level: 34
Skill: [Strengthened Bone (Passive)]
—————————
This was what he got from casting [Basic Detection] on one of the goblins. Stronger, stage-2 evolution with a higher level.
The six goblins looked at each other upon seeing the human in their nests. They appeared to be confused.
Wei Xi was about to pull his sword to kill the goblin, then a towering figure stood behind the six goblins. The creature was around 2.8 meters tall and had the same green skin as the goblin. Its red eyes locked at him as a little gap formed on its mouth, growling at him.
"Grrrhhhh!" It growled at the foreign invasion and showed its big canine to him.
"Boys! We have an angry green monster here, no rest for you guys!" Wei Xi ran back while yelling to his team members to get ready for the battle. As he retreated, Wei Xi did not forget to cast [Basic Detection] on the big guy.
—————————
[Monster - Hobgoblin]
Affiliation: -
Evolution: Stage 3
Level: 45
Skill: [Strengthened Bone (Passive)] [Strengthened Flesh (Passive)]
—————————
At his yell, his team members that just rested down immediately stood up. They looked toward the same direction at where their Captain was.
The steel door was now fully opened, and a new wave of stronger goblins was lining up behind the door. The number was lesser but the size was bigger.
Wei Xi counted the number of the opponent, three Hobgoblins and twelve stage-2 Goblins in total.
Two Tarriors with bows immediately nocked the arrow into the bow and aimed at the big guy.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The arrows whistle through the air and shoot toward the Hobgoblin in the middle. The Hobgoblin raised its arm and blocked the arrow. Two arrows pierced the Hobgoblin's flesh, dangling on its arm. The Hobgoblin's other hand then easily pulled the arrow and threw it away.
"Archer targets the small one, the others protect the archer! I will take care of the big ones!" Wei Xi instructed his team to get in a defense position. He did not know how strong this stage-2 Goblin and the Hobgoblin were, so he did not take the risk to get his team to face the monster head-on.
Wei Xi took a deep breath as his hand moved to the handle of his sword. Since Tang Shaoyang appointed him as Zhang Mengyao's assistance, he was given an advanced class, Swordsman.
Groarrh!
The Hobgoblin in the middle roared as it pointed its giant cub toward Wei Xi and his group. At this roar, the twelve goblins fearlessly rushed toward the group of fourteen people.
At the same time, Wei Xi also rushed forward the goblins.
[Quick Movement]
He activated one of Swordsman's skills. Reddish aura enveloped his feet and his movement was getting faster. In the blink of an eye, he passed the pack of goblins and arrived in front of the three Hobgoblins.
He looked up, locking his eyes at the Hobgoblin's neck. Wei Xi abruptly stopped at a meter from the Hobgoblin, he leaped out.
[Quick Slash]
In the air, his sword flashed toward the Hobgoblin's neck as his figure bypassed the Hobgoblin. The three Hobgoblins seemed to catch the glimpse of his movement so they turned their head to the back.
Unfortunate for the Hobgoblin in the middle, the moment it tried to turn the head, its head fell. After the head, the body followed up.
Wei Xi landed on the ground and immediately turned his body around to face the remaining two Hobgoblins. The two Hobgoblins were shocked for a moment before it let out a furious road.
Ignoring the roar, he muttered in a low voice, "44 seconds until [Quick Movement] is over, should be enough to finish both of them,"
The two Hoblins charged toward Wei Xi. The one on the left raised its cub while the one on the right raised the rusty ax to the air. The two slammed their weapon to Wei Xi at the same time.
Boom! Boom!
A loud noise was created as the two Hobgoblins slammed their weapons on the empty spot. Wei Xi was no longer on his ground as his figure flashed forward.
[Quick Slash]
He spun his body while casting his skill, slicing the two Hobgoblins' thighs at the same time.
Groarrhhh!
As the two Hobgoblins lost their feet, the two monsters roared in pain as their bodies slid down to the ground.
Wei Xi abruptly stopped his steps and made a sudden turn. He pulled the sheathed sword once again, slicing through the two Hobgoblins' necks.
Spurt!
Blood spurted out from their necks just like a fountain. At the same time, he heard notifications rang in his head, telling him he had leveled up.
A smile formed on Wei Xi's lips as he shook the sword, clearing his sword from the blood. He then turned around to check his team. He nodded his head as he sheathed the sword to its sheath. His team was doing well as five stage-2 Goblins were killed. They now were working together to kill the remaining seven Goblins.
Thirteen against seven, "They should be fine," Wei Xi then turned around, walking toward the fully opened door. He went inside to check whether there was still a monster inside.
As he entered the deepest part, he noticed three chests were glowing at the end of the cave. He picked up his pace.
[Level 9 Treasure Chest]
[Level 9 Treasure Chest]
[Level 9 Treasure Chest]
Looking at the translucent screen on top of the chest, he grinned ear to ear. It turned out that they got three Treasure Chests as a reward for clearing the goblin cave.
"That's why the reward is not attached to the screen…"

In a different goblin cave, Lu An's team
Hu Feng and the other team members had their jaws dropped open. They were watching how their Captain slaughtered the Hobgoblins and the stage-2 Goblins in less than a minute. It shocked them, they were not expecting that their Captain was this monstrous.
Lu An turned around and smiled apologetically at his team members, "Oops, sorry. I Should share the monsters with you guys, I gained a level from killed these weird goblins,"
"Next time, I will share the monsters with you guys if we find another goblin cave," he waved his hand as he entered the deepest part of the cave.
He leaped into the room, avoiding the dead bodies that could not even come out of the door.
Yan Sheng's team and Tian Donghai's team also encountered the goblin cave. Yan Sheng managed to clear the goblin cave easily thanks to the advanced class he got from opening the treasure chest. He killed three Hobgoblins by himself, obtaining recognition from his team members.
Tian Donghai's team struggled a little bit, but thanks to Bai Yuan, both of them managed to kill three Hobgoblins.

Outside the portal
Kang Jiayi and the other three leaders of the survivor camp still could not decide whether to enter the portal or not. The four leaders fell into an argument, while one supported to enter with the main team while two leaders voiced that they should send the scout team first before entering the portal.
The three leaders looked at Kang Jiayi, they were waiting for him to voice out his opinion. after sometimes, he let out a sigh, "Let's continue the meeting after lunch, we still have six days to decide,"
The three Leaders agreed to the old man and left the room, leaving the old man with his son, Kang Zian.
"Why don't you agree to send the scout team, Father?" Kang Zian was puzzled as to why his father did not agree with this proposal. It was normal to send the scout before the main team.
"Have you considered what if the portal is only one-way? Sending the scout team is useless in that case," Kang Jiayi let out a sigh. He then glanced at his son, "Have you met your sister? Are they willing to share the information about the portal?"
When Kang Zian his father asked about this, he furrowed his brows then he shook his head, "I did not meet them, they have gone inside the portal!"
