Lin Tian knew it was ti to enhance his own strength; otherwise, facing a group of hero-level goblins might not establish his authority.
Since mating with the wyvern he brought along, his attributes had grown.
HP: 1200, Strength: 320, Defense: 400.
The attribute conversion was better than expected, and he didn't even need to spend ti evolving to get the attributes that other goblins only had after evolution.
"System, open the system shop."
He had accumulated nearly two hundred Life Points over this period, not just through Life Simulation.
Gaining new achievent titles also increased Life Points.
[Iron Sword: 5 points
Experience Fruit: 1 point
Low-level Healing Potion: 1 point
Low-level Potential Fruit: 1 point, consuming it can randomly increase one attribute point]
These were all low-level items.
Lin Tian carefully observed; there was nothing useful among the low-level items.
Even the skills available for exchange were useless.
He then looked at the slightly better quality, more expensive section.
[Fine Iron Sword: 10 points
Large Experience Fruit: 5 points
Mid-level Healing Potion: 5 points]
Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn't help but complain, "This is just like those brainless gas from ten years ago. Players at level 1 fight small lobsters, at level 10 fight giant lobsters, at level 50 fight rainbow lobsters, and at level 100 fight supre god-demon lobsters. Damn, let's look at the high-level stuff."
The high-quality section was mainly divided into 'Equipnt,' 'Skills,' 'Items,' and 'Others.'
Given Lin Tian's current attributes, he wasn't weak—he was quite strong.
But he lacked a handy weapon and a powerful skill.
Fighting would put him at a disadvantage.
With 180 Life Points, he could probably exchange for so things.
He first checked the equipnt section.
[Fla Longsword: 50 points, enchanted with fire elent, attacks can cause fire damage.]
[Magic Sword: 70 points, engraved with ancient runes, can absorb and store so magic attacks, then release them.]
[Elental Hand Crossbow: 80 points, can absorb elental power and release elental arrows. Usable elents: water, fire, wind, lightning, poison.]
Looking at these weapons, Lin Tian fell into deep thought.
The Fla Longsword was the cheapest but not very useful.
The Magic Sword had a good cost-performance ratio, but for Lin Tian's small fra, wielding a sword against a mage?
Not realistic.
Moreover, the Sword Saintess mainly used physical attacks.
The best and most suitable for Lin Tian's wallet was the Elental Hand Crossbow.
It was small enough to equip, though a bit expensive. The more expensive ones weren't even worth looking at.
The key was its long-range attack, very suitable for a sneak attack.
He clicked to exchange.
The Elental Hand Crossbow imdiately appeared in the system warehouse.
He could take it out anyti.
But Lin Tian wasn't in a hurry; he checked the 'Skills' section next.
This section mainly had high-level skills, with the highest being super-tier.
He had 100 Life Points left.
Barely enough to exchange for a high-level skill, but super-tier was out of the question.
[Blade-less Defense: 80 points, can parry three weapon attacks from enemies with bare hands.]
[Summon Undead: 100 points, can summon surrounding souls to fight for you for 180 seconds, often useful in large-scale battles.]
[Boiling Blood: 100 points, increases attack power and grows stronger the longer you fight, up to three tis the attack power for 10 minutes, but attack power greatly decreases for 3 minutes afterward.]
These skills all looked good.
Especially Summon Undead, which could double his forces, though the duration was short, it could turn the tide.
But it clearly required a lot of magic power.
Most creatures in this world had so magic power, but Lin Tian wasn't suited to be a mage yet; he hadn't even touched magic.
Boiling Blood was decent, not great but not bad.
Very useful in one-on-one fights.
In the end, he chose Blade-less Defense.
A life-saving skill, so he went with it.
"Exchange successful! Skill has been issued to the warehouse."
Lin Tian looked at the remaining 20 Life Points, wondering what he could do with them.
Save them?
He was far from the 300 points needed for the super-tier skill he wanted.
[Evil God's Blessing: 300 points, can summon an Evil God puppet with the strength of a tier-6 magical creature to protect you, which won't disappear until killed.]
With this skill, his strength would rise significantly.
But he was far short of the required Life Points.
Using them now wouldn't get him much.
Lin Tian asked, "System, besides gaining one point per day and Life Simulation, are there other ways to earn Life Points?"
"The host can also earn Life Points through system-issued tasks. Tasks are random and often appear during significant life events."
Hearing this, Lin Tian had no choice but to save the 20 points.
He opened the system warehouse and extracted Blade-less Defense and the Elental Hand Crossbow.
He imdiately learned Blade-less Defense.
Holding the Elental Hand Crossbow in his hand, he equipped it on his left hand.
It was about 30 centiters long, small, similar to a regular hand crossbow, but had two green, IV-like tubes inserted into Lin Tian's arm.
After all, it was a magic tool, ant to connect to the body.
When his hand approached various elents, it could charge the crossbow.
There were no elents around, so Lin Tian secreted poison for the crossbow to absorb.
"Let's find a target to test it on. That guy will do."
Lin Tian locked his eyes on the bound Loder, raised his left hand, and surprisingly found a targeting icon!
Just like in shooting gas.
Aim, shoot!
"Ah! Who! Who's attacking !"
Loder, who was sleeping, scread in pain, cursing but unable to find anyone.
The next second, his face changed, "My body? Paralyzed? Damn goblins!"
He recognized the familiar feeling; it was goblin paralysis toxin.
Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction; the effect was good.
After so practice, he roughly understood the Elental Hand Crossbow's details.
Range: 300 ters, not very far, but highly accurate.
Maximum stored shots: 50, which could be divided among elents, 10 shots each, or more for a specific elent.
Having not encountered other elents, he stored a large amount of poison elent.
Long-range paralysis was quite useful.
Loder gritted his teeth in anger, but also felt anxious, "It's been so long, why hasn't the royal family co to rescue ? Even if they think I'm dead, they should send soone for revenge!"
He had endured all kinds of suffering.
Waiting for rescue.
Otherwise, he would have already bashed his head against a rock.
,,,
anwhile.
Several mbers of the Silver Blade Knights were searching around the Enchanted Forest.
One female mber kept shouting for help to attract goblins' attention.
"Captain, there's movent over there."
In the center of the forest, a tier-3 magical beast, a 'Giant-Eyed Spider,' was spinning silk, wrapping its freshly caught prey.
The Silver Blade Captain was startled, "Spider?! I hate spiders. You guys handle it, make it quick."
The archer in the team drew his longbow and shot the cocoon to the ground.
The Giant-Eyed Spider, realizing sothing was wrong, turned swiftly. Its body, as big as a small house, was surprisingly agile!
Its eight long legs moved rapidly between towering trees.
A man stepped forward, holding a spear over two ters long.
He locked onto the spider and hurled the spear!
"Screeeeech!"
The spider was imdiately pinned to a tree.
The archer quickly finished it off with a shot to the head.
In less than three minutes, they had killed a tier-3 magical beast.
As expected of the elite knights trained by the royal family.
"Do you think Loder might already be dead?"
"Most likely, I heard Count Stanmon almost fainted from anger."
"Forget it, let's quickly clear out all the goblin tribes."
After dealing with the spider, the Silver Blade Captain and his team continued forward. Sure enough, goblins were attracted by the woman's cries.
The result was predictable.
They easily wiped out a tribe of two hundred goblins.
The Silver Blade Captain took out a small notebook and wrote a '1,' "Clearing ten or so should be enough, let's keep going."
"These low-level weak magical creatures don't interest at all."
"Then why didn't you stay to slay the dragon?"
"I can slay a wyvern, but I don't have the ability to slay an ancient dragon! And if the ancient dragon clan holds a grudge, you wouldn't even know how you died."
Amidst their banter.
The Silver Blade Knights had already easily wiped out five or six goblin tribes.
At this point, the mage in the team, Antu, grew cautious, "Wait, haven't you noticed that the closer we get to the inner Enchanted Forest, the fewer magical creatures we see?"
"Hiss! Now that you ntion it, that's true!"
Everyone imdiately beca alert.
The air faintly slled of blood.
Indicating a massacre was happening nearby.
"Rustle, rustle..."
At this mont, there was movent in the bushes ahead.
A green-skinned Goblin Boss walked out, bumping into the entire Silver Blade Knights.
For a mont, the air seed to freeze, everyone staring at each other.
"This is a goblin? A Great Type Goblin?"
Mage Antu was stunned, the appearance was so sudden he didn't even react.
A goblin just walked up to them.
The Silver Blade Captain exclaid, "Wow, look at this guy's muscle definition, it's comparable to that bald guy from the Battle Roar squad!"
At this mont, the Goblin Boss was also dumbfounded.
Having wandered the Enchanted Forest for so long, hunting magical creatures, this was the first ti he encountered humans!
A group of well-equipped humans.
Realizing the situation, he roared, "Ah!"
Imdiately alerting the other goblins around, who stopped what they were doing and looked towards the sound.
The Silver Blade Captain said, "Looks like we've found the reason why all the magical creatures around here are gone."
