Chapter 9 The key is exquisite and has a distinct appearance

After the conclusion of the planar war, the only tribe of goblins that survived during the era of conflict underwent continuous fragmentation over a long period. The splintered factions gradually divided into three camps. A portion of the goblins integrated into the northern Mogus Empire, the Dwarven Kingdom of the Dragonclaw Plains, and the towns of the Prairie Elves. They worship the Nameless One, alongside the Nameless One's temple established by the goblins and the goblin paladins. The vast majority of these goblins belong to the good alignment. Another portion of the goblins also merged into the northern Mogus Empire, the Dwarven Kingdom of the Dragonclaw Plains, and the towns of the Prairie Elves, sharing the same beliefs in the Nameless One, the temple established by the goblins, and the goblin paladins, with most of them being of the good alignment.

There are a total of 6 members in the team, which is also the basic number of members in a game squad. A reinforced 12-member squad requires a player with a charisma of at least 10 to take on the role, which is usually filled by paladins, black knights (the evil faction version of paladins), priests, and bards. Therefore, Captain Lin Mingmei naturally led her five teammates out of the city.

... ...

In Maso's view, as was the case last time, it can only be achieved by sacrificing lives

Just then, a team was about to withdraw, so after the handover between both sides, Masuo was assigned to a solo point to take on the dog-headed boss. In the gaming community, this is referred to as a trial of skill. Any new member of a guild, regardless of how outrageous their background may be or how high their relatives rank within the guild, must undergo a skill test by the veteran members of the team. The previous tests were merely internal assessments, and now with the chief MT of the team present, Mingmei would never allow personal interests to override public duty by immediately throwing Masuo into the fray.

Soon, a dog-headed man poked his head out from a small tent—this is how the game's respawn settings work, even in the crowded novice area at the beginning of the game.

A round of applause immediately erupted all around. Although Masuo's profession is Shaman, a player capable of throwing weighted throwing axes can be considered the most terrifying magic killer at medium to close range. In this game, protective arrows, as their name suggests, can only defend against arrows. When faced with heavyweight throwing weapons such as weighted throwing axes and weighted javelins, only Petrified Skin can provide damage reduction. It can be said that he is the most terrifying magic killer at medium to close range. In this game, protective arrows, as their name suggests, can only defend against arrows.

Go ahead and speak, Sanjiang, who do you like? My sister and I can help you figure it out

"Is this really rare, James?" In Li Sanjiang's view, this is indeed rare, because his teammate named James is not an ordinary person. His grandfather is a Hissher from the Serun system, skilled in martial arts, but like most Hisshers, he lacks facial expressions, with a sense of humor and emotional sensitivity that are extraordinarily high. It is no easy task to make this guy, who is usually indifferent, truly astonished.

Speaking of which, Mingmei, what is the situation with this kitten

James and the Eskimo have already met Maso, but Li Sanjiang is different; this chief MT does not know Maso. Of course, he has heard that the Sixth Regiment just recruited a powerful shaman who achieved five hits out of five with a 40-yard throwing axe, but he still cannot connect that impressively formidable shaman with the pet cat being led away by Ming'en.

Although Ming'en is mischievous, just as Masuo believes, these two girls would never prioritize personal matters over public ones. Therefore, she obediently released the kitten's hand. Masuo also refrained from saying much and followed closely behind Mingmei and the others as they ran towards the scene of the incident

Mingmei spoke to the ranger up to this point, and with Masuo's keen eyes, he had already spotted six unfortunate souls lying in the center of a circle of tents in the distance. Clearly, when the gnoll leader and his subordinates appeared, they had not yet realized the impending danger, resulting in these unfortunate souls lying on the ground at the moment death arrived, exemplifying that fools, those who are out of touch with reality, and unfortunate souls are always the first to perish.

The cat's tail swayed back and forth, wielding a flying axe imbued with an indescribable malice towards canine creatures, and after traversing a distance of twenty yards, it struck the dog's head squarely. The red and white substance immediately spilled out onto the ground from the shattered skull.

The remaining final part—namely, those whom Maso and the others are currently killing—are entirely lured by the chaos and disorder within their own bloodlines. These tribes once had paladins as elders during their division, but when the entire tribe abandoned the glory and consciousness of being believers, these paladin elders either were killed or left the tribe alone

The Earth Mother Gina Phyllis, the spirit of the grasslands, governs the domains of Music (Bard / each level of Cleric corresponds to a level of Bard, allowing the learning of the Praise skill), Moonlight (every 20 levels increases healing spells' effect by 1D6, and reduces the MP cost of healing spells by half), and Harvest (Druid / each level of Cleric corresponds to a level of Druid, allowing the learning of Druid spells and the ability to learn the Storm Crow transformation). In contrast, her sister Saina Phyllis oversees the domains of Nature (each level of Cleric corresponds to a level of Wizard, providing bonuses to all spells related to earth elements), Rain (each level of Cleric corresponds to a level of Wizard, providing bonuses to all spells related to water or ice elements), and Commerce (gaining an additional 20 pounds of carrying capacity every 20 levels, and at levels 20 / 50 / 80, can learn the Gold Power feat from a mentor (increasing carrying capacity by 20 pounds, Strength +2) / qualification for driving a cart / Platinum Might (further increasing carrying capacity by 20 pounds, while allowing the player to carry two space bags, and increasing the number of quick potion slots on the belt from six to twelve).

The orderly faction of kobolds is now widespread across the Eastern Continent. Most of these tribes are affiliated with various races. The group organization and training learned by their ancestors during the era of planar wars have made these kobolds more adept at battle formations than the earth elementals, transforming them into skilled mercenaries. They have undergone rigorous training, possess a high level of organization, and are proficient in military formations. Some large kobold tribes even have legions capable of participating in wars between players and NPCs.

Six dog-headed humanoid spellcasting professions... should be warlocks, with more than two dozen dog-headed crossbowmen, over thirty dog-headed warriors wielding melee weapons, and around ten shamans... Who called them leaders! This is a dog-headed lord!" Li Sanjiang cursed as he looked at the numbers reported by the ranger

Now, these tribes have become the origin of thieves and bandits, but most of the training methods left over from the era of planar wars still exist. Therefore, such goblin tribes often cause considerable headaches for NPCs and players. The core legion of the tribe may have shrunk to a number similar to the elite goblins before Masuo, but organized, trained, and courageous goblin soldiers are definitely not something the current level of wandering players can handle. Thus, such goblin tribes usually pose a significant challenge for NPCs and players alike. The core legion of the tribe may have diminished to a number akin to the elite goblins before Masuo, yet the organized, trained, and brave goblin soldiers are certainly beyond the capabilities of the current level of wandering players.

We won't say it out loud, go ahead and say it.

Indeed, Mingmei is a priestess of the Earth Mother Goddess, Telshan, Gina Phyllis, while Ming'en follows the faith of Gina's sister, Saina Phyllis

Led by Li Sanjiang, six individuals crouched down beside the wanderer

Indeed, it is quite impressive. I was not aware that cat people could use their tails to throw flying axes, and it seems that this kitten has also activated the real mode. At this moment, James finally showed some emotion

Observing the intimacy between him and her, Masuo felt no jealousy, not because of Ming'en's last words, but because as a cat that had come over, the kitten knew who Li Sanjiang's girlfriend was, aware of his loyalty and unwavering devotion to that figure, which had become unattainable for him.

At this moment, on the other side, another human ranger behind a large tree had climbed to the canopy. Soon, this ranger began to signal the profession and number of the goblins.

They are truly childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree. Li Sanjiang nodded with a smile; this middle-aged man was nearly twenty years older than Masi and the others. Given the current average life expectancy of one hundred and fifty years, Li Sanjiang, who has not yet reached forty, has not yet completed one-third of his life, and is still, in every sense, a young man: "I must say, it makes me a bit envious, Brother Li."

Indeed, I have known my sister and Masuo for many years. " Mien glanced at the kitten being led away by her sister, feeling quite satisfied and content as she looked up at Li Sanjiang: " Brother Sanjiang, I have known you for almost ten years longer than my sister and I have known each other.

No need

As they approached the scene of the incident, a human ranger hiding behind a tree spotted Masso and the others. He immediately raised his hand to signal them to crouch down: "Lower your bodies, these guys are on high alert right now, be careful not to expose yourselves."

The kitten Masho was completely unaware, feeling tired of standing, so he simply squatted under the shade of a tree, using his own tail to toss and catch a flying axe. This is a benefit for cat-human players. After a long period of training and a series of kills, kitten players can transform their tails into a third 'hand' that holds weapons, and they can also earn an achievement titled 'Kittens Have More Than Nine Lives.' The tails of kitten players are regarded as a third hand, capable only of wielding small weapons and small throwing weapons.

The tails of kitten players are regarded as a third hand, capable only of wielding small weapons and small throwing weapons.

Indeed, my grandfather told me that there are indeed those among the cat people who use their tails for throwing, but usually, that requires rigorous training..." James glanced at the kitten still crouching in the shade under the tree: "A remarkable fellow

Ah, James, it has been almost six years since we met, and this is the first time I have seen you without a stern expression. Over there, the Eskimos have already started shouting and making a fuss.

Mingmei is a follower of Gina Phyllis, and she has chosen the domain of Moonlight, while her sister Ming'en has chosen Saina Phyllis, whose domain is Nature. Since both sisters are priests, along with the burden in the eyes of the girl Masuo, they found three teammates: Li Sanjiang, a warrior from Elite Team One and the guild's chief MT; James Reno, a stoic knight from Elite Team Six; and Eskimo Bal, a female gnome mage.

Thus, Ming En abandoned the cat's tail to pull the cat's ears, but it was Ming Mei who stepped forward at this moment to save Masuo's pair of cat ears: "The dog-headed camp in the west has summoned the leader, Ming En, let's go help."

Haha, Sanjiang, even if I can't get married, I won't settle for you. " Ming'en made a face at the tall human, saying, "My sister and I have Maso, so I won't let you have it for cheap.

What is going on? Have our people been in contact with the Boss? Li Sanjiang asked

A kitten, curled up with its tail around a flying axe, squatted in the shade of a tree, observing the dog-headed people basking in the sunlight. Unlike the little goblins, the dog-headed people, although not particularly powerful, were more formidable than the little goblins who could only fight when the odds were in their favor (players often prefer to call these little ones "fart goblins"). In the later stages of the First Open Era's planar war, there emerged large dog-headed tribes with extraordinary organization and training. The tribe known as "Shiba Inu" appeared during the latter part of the planar war, and this tribe not only had priests but also gave rise to the first patrol paladin squad composed entirely of dog-headed people.

There is a specific list of achievements for the cat people on the achievement list, which is unique to them! In order to avoid becoming Maso the Tailless, the kitten hurriedly pulled out its own achievement list, pointing to the unique achievements for cat people below, while maintaining a cute tone without blushing or racing heart, pleading for the safety of its tail: "Let go, Mein, my tail hurts."

Mingen happily ran to Masuo's side and grabbed the kitten's tail, exclaiming, "How did you learn to throw a flying axe with your tail!" The girl's face was full of smiles, yet the pain in the kitten's tail, which could bring it to the brink of death, and the veins on the girl's forehead completely revealed her state of mind at that moment—what Mingen disliked the most was when things slipped out of her control

"We are the twenty-first member of our group," Eskimo said with a smile as he took the lead in the introduction. "I heard that you are a close friend who has known Mingmei and Ming'en since kindergarten, right"

The six members of the Second Regiment happened to encounter a respawn point, so they are all lying on the ground. The ranger pointed towards the distant dog-headed people's camp.

Although Maso is still a minor in the Earth Federation in reality, he possesses the bloodline of a cat person, and the game developers define adulthood for cat people as being twenty years old, thus Maso has early access to adult mode

The appearance of this test sample not only attracted the attention of Li Sanjiang but also caught the eye of several members from nearby guilds

That is an unwavering persistence, an unforgettable memory, an unfading longing... an unwavering love

"Ah, you girl are so gossipy, be careful not to end up unmarried." Li Sanjiang frowned and said, "I will not settle for you when the time comes."

"Sanjiang, you are talking nonsense. I have heard the president say that you also have a girlfriend," Ming'en replied with a smile.

In response, Li Sanjiang shyly shook his head, offering no explanation or clarification. His demeanor of looking around without speaking immediately prompted Ming En to press him about the situation regarding his so-called girlfriend

"For more than twenty of us to go over there is tantamount to seeking death. Notify the guild leader and have them bring more people over." Lin Mingmei glanced at the members of her side and immediately activated the video communication for the high-level members of the guild.

A group of six arrived at the Gnoll camp, which is located to the south of Paronster. According to the game's progress, this Gnoll tribe called "Spotted Hounds" has recently been besieging Paronster, seeking to extract some ransom from the city's administrator, Lord Link K. Blaugen. Of course, these little creatures only dare to bully small merchant caravans; if they encounter large caravans of dwarves or prairie elves, or the city guard, they will naturally flee as far as they can.
