I Live on the Land in Global Games

Chapter 55 - 55 54 Ironwood Bracelet55: Chapter 54: Ironwood Bracelet 55: Chapter 54: Ironwood Bracelet Mu Ying stood at the entrance of the camp, and after the scouting sparrow returned with news, she cast six spells on herself in succession.

Enhanced attributes of strength, constitution, agility, and perception, Tree Skin Skill for increased defense, and Divine Movement Technique for convenient travel and escape, all together consuming 55 Mana Points.

“Good, it’s getting the vibe of a Druid hexagonal warrior!”

She darted into the forest like a lingering shadow, vanishing in a few breaths.

Within half an hour, she had found the traces of the goblin squad.

The short goblins with green skin squatted in the bushes, concealing themselves much more effectively than her green robe could.

If it hadn’t been for the bird’s message, she might have been like the hunting party stalking brown bears, unable to spot them for quite a while, not able to act as the “yellow bird” as she could now.

The hunting party ahead were old acquaintances, poor Huo Shaobai, whose squad might face a second goblin ambush.

Many creatures, including native beasts of Deep Blue Star and many untrackable Magic Beasts, descended in the surrounding area of the territory.

However, they mostly acted alone or in pairs deep in the forest, and were not keen on hunting humans everywhere.

Compared to them, the goblins were more like villains dispatched by the game, numerous, organized, and deeply malicious towards humans; to be precise, malicious towards all creatures they could handle.

Of course, thanks to Mu Ying’s continuous ambushes over this period, the number of goblins had also significantly reduced.

Mu Ying estimated the goblin troop planned to wait for Huo Shaobai’s team to kill the brown bear before ambushing them to harvest eight fresh bodies and one sizable bear.

The goblins had a slight numerical advantage with a well-equipped leader, two goblin archers, and eight warriors.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t inform Huo Shaobai’s team in advance.

Mu Ying prepared her spells.

As soon as the goblin leader signaled to attack, she immediately used the Thunder Wave for the attack, the entanglement technique for binding, binding the archers’ weapons tightly, and also deployed the Cloud Mist Technique to intimidate.

Yes, somehow, the fog she emitted now had an intimidating effect on the goblins.

Compared to sound attacks, the sudden appearance of fog always completely rattled the goblins.

With greatly enhanced attributes, Mu Ying swiftly dealt with both archers in a confrontation, though given her current defense, the goblin archers could only inflict tiny wounds the size of mung beans on her, but it posed a significant threat to Huo Shaobai’s team.

To prevent the goblins from escaping early, she targeted the regular goblin warriors after dealing with the archers.

“Captain, it’s Mu Ying, where did all these goblins come from?”

Huo Shaobai’s team had just killed the brown bear and hadn’t even had time to celebrate before being startled by the battleground behind them.

Fortunately, the Cloud Mist Technique didn’t affect them, so only the goblin squad was left half-blinded in the field.

Luckily, Huo Shaobai’s team didn’t disappoint her and quickly joined the fight, responding swiftly.

Their people generally had proficient combat skills, and even the mages could engage in hand-to-hand combat between spells.

Their coordination was also very tacit, directly encircling the goblins with Mu Ying.

Mu Ying, relying on the entanglement technique, contained an area while Huo Shaobai’s team handled any goblins that slipped through.

Soon, even the barely calm goblin leader was psychologically shattered.

“Blah blah, spare the goblins, I am willing to serve the great Lord of Mist as...

master!”

Huh?

Had she just heard the goblin speaking Universal Language?

Mu Ying hurriedly pulled the spear from the goblin leader’s neck, but alas, this leader who had mastered a second language was completely dead.

“So these goblins can communicate after all, but what is this Lord of Mist?”

Mu Ying was utterly confused.

“Haha, Captain, I avenged you!” Lu You cheerfully thumped his team captain on the shoulder.

“These goblins probably thought to ambush us again,” Huo Shaobai only felt relieved.

This time, the goblins’ number and strength were somewhat stronger than the last encounter they had.

If it hadn’t been for Mu Ying, they probably would have faced a grim fate.

He solemnly thanked Mu Ying and declared that she could keep all the loot.

Mu Ying waved her hand nonchalantly, “Let’s just follow our respective kill prompts.

Without you guys, I wouldn’t have been able to take them all down.”

She had just happened to choose the most effective moment for her, no need to be greedy and owe someone a favor for such a trivial matter.

With so many people around, she couldn’t collect the goblins along with their bodies, so she had to resume the great endeavor of looting.

The elite goblin squad looked somewhat wealthy but the hygiene was still poor.

Despite living right by a river, they seemed clueless about personal grooming.

This time, however, she was prepared and pulled out a pair of gloves from her robe to put on.

The archers contributed two small bows and two quivers of arrows; the goblin leader contributed a wrist guard, a set of half-body armor, and a nail head hammer; the other common goblins contributed three sharp choppers.

Due to the goblins’ physique, these items were of little use to her except for the wrist guard which she could barely wear.

The rest had to be sent to a weapon shop or a general store for recycling.

[Ironwood Bracelet]

[Quality: Green Fine]

[Effect: Strength +1]

Mu Ying didn’t mind the bracelet’s overly “plain” appearance at all and planned to take it back, wash it, and then wear it.

Beyond the wrist guard, the biggest surprise was finding 2 Gold Coins and 8 Silver Coins in the pockets of several goblins.

With the money she had accumulated over time and the earnings split from the Monster Atlas mission, Mu Ying now possessed 10 Gold Coins, 35 Silver Coins, and 68 Copper Coins.

The sub-camp was beckoning to her.

“So, um, I’ve got something else to attend to, I’ll be off first!” Mu Ying hurriedly pocketed the small change and rushed toward her territory.

“Captain, is this girl a bit socially anxious?

She seems to run too fast,” Lu You didn’t have time to stop her before she disappeared.

Huo Shaobai glanced at his good brother displeasedly, “What are you standing around for?

Don’t you want the bear meat?”

Upon returning to her territory, Mu Ying dove into her Tree House and quickly paid the construction costs for the sub-camp and Transmission Array with 10 Gold Coins.

But like the previous Lord Token, the sub-camp needed to be constructed on-site, and the Transmission Array could only be set between the sub-camp and the territory.

“Sigh!”

Mu Ying looked at her nearly depleted Mana Value and sighed; there was no way she was going out today.

She struggled to pull Yuan Gungun into her arms and gave him several good strokes, calming her impatient heart.

Yuan Gungun had grown quite a bit too; when sitting, he wasn’t much shorter than a table now.

He was too heavy to carry, and he hadn’t even left his infancy, with plenty of room to grow in size.

Meanwhile, his Attributes had also significantly improved, especially in Strength and Constitution, which had increased to 13 and 14 points respectively, and his Agility had risen to 9 points.

“Grow up fast, I want to ride a bear!”

Mu Ying murmured.

The statuette, Shi Yin, howled and transformed into a silver-white wolf, lying in front of her, looking at her expectantly.

It wagged its tail as merrily as when it used to see her off to school in the forest, as if eagerly promoting its own camel-riding capability.

“...”

Mu Ying humorously poked its belly, “I never realized how competitive you were before?”

Yuan Gungun silently moved away, feeling that his master was sometimes quite blind.

Could she not smell the sour stench in the air?
