Translator: 549690339

When Mu Yuan discovered the Root of Corruption, the Lord’s Seal on the back of his hand subtly lit up, as if urging him on.

But in fact, there was no need for urging, each Root of Corruption is viewed as a treasure by players. They wish they could find even more Roots of Corruption.

Mu Yuan continued to remain calm, maintaining his steady state of mind.

Only the Roots of Corruption that he has the ability to remove are treasure chests for him. If he doesn’t have this ability… he would retreat as far away as possible.

He observed that this Root of Corruption had just grown, and it did not have a large influence area… therefore, not many monsters had gathered around it.

There were only a few figures.

Six, six Goblins.

However,

“If there were only six ordinary Goblins, a single Skeleton using some tactics could wipe them out, but one of the figures is clearly extraordinary.”

It was a robust green-skinned creature, over two meters tall, towering over the skeleton by a significant margin. The other Goblins seemed like mere chicks in front of it, not even reaching its knees.

‘Big Goblin (Ordinary★★★): Zero-order Level 4.’

‘Description: A product of the Goblin’s retrogression phenomenon, possessing strength far beyond its kin, and is inherently cruel.’

Although the Skeleton possesses skills and consciousness, dealing with a Big Goblin of a higher level wouldn’t be a problem. However, they were currently in the wilderness, the environment wasn’t safe, and if they couldn’t achieve a quick victory, accidents might occur.

“Skeleton, what do you think?”

Mu Yuan had already formed his plan.

The Big Goblin was superior to its kin in strength and speed, so they could simply use a tactic of luring the enemy. By utilizing the speed difference between the Big Goblin and the Goblins, they could create a time advantage and kill the Big Goblin as quickly as possible before the other Goblins could catch up.

The remaining Goblins would naturally no longer pose a problem.

Mu Yuan didn’t expect the newly awakened Skeleton, which just became self-aware, to envision any brilliant strategies. He let it think for a while, then set the strategy.

Whosh——

The Soul Flame burnt fiercely, indicating that the Skeleton had understood the tactic.

It slowly stood up, then… slipped into the thick bushes beside it, its tall figure completely disappearing within, unseen.

Mu Yuan: “???”

Wasn’t his tactic to have the Skeleton come out to provoke while preparing for battle? Wait, a Little Skeleton with a vacant look was now walking out confidently. Judging by its position, it was clearly provoking the opponent.

The Little Skeleton let out a taunt that was highly effective!

The Big Goblin and the Goblins charged forward.

This was a tactic of using the Little Skeleton as bait, then launching a surprise attack. Well done, Skeleton. He had only partially explained the tactic, ostensibly to test its understanding, and the Skeleton had clearly fully comprehended it.

What a clever Skelly.

But Mu Yuan didn’t expect that the Skeleton, despite its intimidating appearance, could hide its figure so perfectly. Could it possibly have acquired the ability to mask its presence through practicing the art of deception?

Mu Yuan stealthily observed from behind bushes some ten meters away.

The ground trembled slightly.

The imposing Big Goblin charged forward. It was muscular and had fierce eyes. Even from a distance, it was intimidating.

The Little Skeleton, who served as the bait, was not afraid. But compared to the Big Goblin, it seemed incredibly small and feeble, almost as if it would be crushed by the Big Goblin at any moment.

The Little Skeleton’s brittle bones would shatter and scatter across the sky like foam, with only its skull rolling away, dying a fierce…

He eliminated the imagined scene from his mind. Mu Yuan was about to control the Little Skeleton to distract the Big Goblin, to see if it could hold on for a few seconds, when the Skeleton hiding nearby in the bushes struck.

Boom——

The bushes burst apart, sending grass and shattered branches flying. The Big Goblin instinctively turned its head, its blood-red eyes following the flying grass and broken branches.

The broken branches and grass obscured its vision. A black figure burst out from within, and a battle blade radiating wisps of dark mist appeared, rapidly getting bigger in its crimson eyes.

Like a black thread, it cut through the conspicuous red.

Blood splatters, gushing ceaselessly like a fountain.

At the crucial moment, Big Goblin somehow managed to dodge and Dead Bone couldn’t slice his massive head open like a melon. The combat knife with the power of Cleave merely cut off half of the Big Goblin’s body along the neck, slicing through countless flesh and bones, finally sticking in deeply.

Big Goblin’s vitality was rapidly draining, but it was still not dead. Instead, it roared angrily and swung at Dead Bone as if it had a sudden resurgence.

This somewhat surprised Dead Bone, but seeing how close he was to death, Dead Bone didn’t hesitate. He quickly let go of his weapon and took a step back to dodge the blow, then circled counterclockwise around Big Goblin, grabbed the knife handle again, and yanked it out fiercely.

Splat——

Blood sprayed out like a burst water pipe, Big Goblin staggered and took a couple steps before his massive body fell down heavily and dark red spread out in circles.

There was no censorship, neither was the blood green. The entire game screen was dyed a bright red.

At this moment, the remaining few goblins finally arrived at the battlefield. Their levels were around Level Two, generally stronger than the Little Skeletons, but they naturally still fell one by one. During this process, Mu Yuan controlled the Little Skeletons to distract two Goblins, performing like the perfect support.

“Goblins are naturally timid. Many player-recruited Goblin Troops, despite lacking self-consciousness, still show signs of fleeing when faced with disadvantageous situations. Is this their characteristic or instinct?”

“However, the Goblin in front of me fought until the last moment, refusing to retreat and even becoming increasingly aggressive. It was like the Grey Wolf we first encountered… No, it was even more exaggerated. Is this the influence of the Root of Corruption?”

Rumors say large Roots of Corruption can attract countless monsters to form a vast nest of various species, even triggering a large-scale monster wave that would attack and destroy Human cities.

To players, the Root of Corruption is like a treasure chest, but can also be a ticking bomb thats continually growing.

The Lord would not tolerate the existence of the Root of Corruption near their territory.

Under the protection of several Little Skeletons, Mu Yuan slowly walked forward and stood in front of the Root of Corruption.

The root wasn’t large; it was minute in comparison to the Root of Corruption. Above it swirled a blood-red power, resembling fog or lava that clung to the root and spread to the surrounding ground.

Even through the computer screen, Mu Yuan could feel the ominous aura hitting him.

The Little Skeletons also seemed slightly anxious.

—— a long wait in the corrupted environment was harmful to both the soldiers and the player himself.

He reached out, gently pressing his hand on the Root of Corruption.

‘Ding!’

‘Chosen Lords or Hero Units who have shared the Lord’s Purification Power can cleanse the Root of Corruption.’

‘Prompt: Do you wish to purify?’

√

In an instant, a clear and bright white light burst from his palm, little by little it covered the black-red root.

The warm and sacred light lasted for dozens of seconds before slowly fading.

The next moment,

An invisible wind swept across, and surprisingly a few sprouts of green buds appeared on the parched ground, the withered trees also swayed, as if cheering and celebrating.

In front of Mu Yuan, the half-meter tall Root of Corruption crumbled, breaking into countless fragments that dissipated with the wind.

The Light of Heaven and Earth descended.

A few light orbs floated around, revealing their shape in the fading glow.

‘Prompt: You’ve obtained 50g of Soul Sand.’

‘Prompt: You’ve obtained ‘Remnant Soul (Random)’ × 2.’

‘Prompt: You’ve obtained ‘Energy Potion (Common)’ × 6.’

‘Prompt: You’ve obtained an item ‘Amulet (Common)’ × 1.’

This must be the joy of a bountiful harvest, Mu Yuan showed a sincere smile.
