Chapter 214: the goblin mountains and star iron town

Translator: 549690339

this emergency reinforcement mission was sent by ding yue.

the information on the watch briefly described the background, difficulty, and benefits of the entire mission.

after reading it, bai wushang was very moved.

according to the description, there was a vast mountain range in the border area to the west of the outer ring of the endless sand region.

ten years ago, it was called the “cong long mountain range.”

the ecosystem was harmonious, and it was a very good habitat.

however, in the last ten years, it had been renamed the goblin mountains.

as the name suggested, this place was occupied by goblins.

this kind of transcendent creature was famous for being greedy, despicable, cruel, and emotionless.

in terms of individual strength, they were not considered powerful.

but the main point was that they lived in groups, in tribes of various sizes.

even though their intelligence was not high, civil wars would break out every three to five days.

however, in terms of danger and invasion ability, it was enough to be ranked in the top ten of the young and even the mature races.

that was because they were good at reproduction!

two babies a year, with a minimum of ten per baby.

with the support of rich resources, this ability would continue to expand.

furthermore, it grew very quickly.

it wouldn’t be long before it could leave its mother and survive on its own.

what was even more abnormal was that it only took a year for the individual to reach sexual maturity before it could reproduce again.

the cycle repeated itself.

in just a few years, the cong long mountain range had been seriously eroded.

the transcendent species either escaped or hid.

it could be said that 80% of the mountain was filled with goblin series monsters.

the ecosystem was already on the verge of collapse, the kind that was difficult to save.

the human villages and towns not far from the foot of the mountain suffered even more.

star iron town was the first to bear the brunt.

the town was not large, with a population of more than a thousand.

however, he was quite famous in the area around the endless sand region.

he relied on the ‘star iron wood’ planted by his ancestors and the forging techniques passed down from generation to generation.

in star iron town, men and women, young and old.

they basically knew how to choose materials, control fire, smelt, forge, temper ...

the average standard of an apprentice!

some of them were even able to forge suitable weapons and equipment for their soul servant-level masters.

this was originally a thriving human village.

however, the goblin’s appearance caused them huge trouble.

the goblins had a strong sense of territory. under normal circumstances, they would not easily migrate or leave their habitat to pillage and hunt.

therefore, although there had been a sense of danger in star iron town a few years ago, its safety was still guaranteed.

after all, they only needed to walk around the mountains twice to find delicious food.

they would not cross dozens or even hundreds of miles to attack humans.

however, things were different now.

wanton invasion, savage plundering.

the cong long mountain range was in a state of chaos.

from abundant resources, it rapidly fell into a barren land.

what about the goblin? in addition to killing their own kind, they also gradually explored further areas to hunt.

as a result, star iron town was frequently attacked.

with the help of the formation and the mercenary group stationed in the town, the number of casualties was limited.

however, their activities were restricted, and the cost, efficiency, and profit of refining artifacts were greatly reduced.

the days were getting harder and harder.

bai wushang’s mission was to go to star iron town and the goblin mountains, and to clear out the goblin forest as much as possible.

this wasn’t a single-player mission, nor was it a random mission.

on average, it happened once every six months.

star iron town was one of the partners of shanhai college.

more than half of the spiritualist-level equipment in the ten thousand beast market was provided by them.

this friendly business relationship had lasted for nearly thirty years.

therefore, the academy was willing to provide assistance to the best of its ability.

ten years ago, when traces of goblins were first discovered in star iron town.

shanhai academy had sent out a few of the top 10 and teachers to exterminate the goblins in hopes of curing them.

unfortunately, they all ended in failure.

he didn’t know why, but he was always treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

in a year or two, they would make a comeback.

after repeating this three times, star iron town saw that the situation had changed, and the mountain range had gradually become a habitat for the goblins.

two voices could be heard in the village.

the other hoped to continue clearing the area at all costs.

after all, this was a place left behind by their ancestors, their “root.”

as for the new masters and apprentices, who were led by the young man ...

he deeply understood that this was too difficult and the cost was too high.

it was not something that a village of a thousand people like them could easily do.

it would be better to move as soon as possible and find a treasured land to seek new development.

since there were differences in opinions, there would be disputes.

it took a whole year for the mayor of star iron town to make up his mind, until last year.

pi xiu migration!

however, this wasn’t a simple matter.

it involved choosing a location, building a foundation, transferring array patterns, food storage, material purchases, and even re-cultivating the star iron wood ...

the most ideal would be three years.

thus, they continued to invest money and hire helpers regularly.

it was to kill as many goblins as possible, limiting their reproduction speed and chances of invasion.

although it was a temporary solution, it did not cure the root of the problem.

but it was effective, and that was enough.

this would give star iron town more time to prepare for the mass migration.

they weren’t in such a crisis that they would be annihilated immediately, so this plan was feasible.

however, just recently.

a small wave of beast calamity had broken out in the goblin mountains.

large numbers of goblins charged down the mountain, killing, destroying, and plundering.

after further investigation, the goblins in the mountain range seemed to be killing each other crazily due to a food shortage.

many of the defeated were forced to flee.

this caused star iron town to suffer a huge blow, and it urgently needed help!

when the logistics department of shanhai college received the news, they immediately sent out an emergency recruitment mission.

to recruit 30 elite students, the minimum requirement was to have a pet of the mature stage.

15 of them were formed by the law enforcement team and acted as the core.

the other five people would be replaced by the medical department to add additional treatment capabilities.

there were not many restrictions on the last 10 people. they only needed to meet the mission requirements.

ding yue even made it clear that there would be a top ten leading the team as the core of their combat strength.

the reward for this mission could not be compared to the reward for the relic.

however, it was still not bad. with an estimated seven to ten days, he would have a minimum of 350 to 500 mysterious energy points.

in addition to the hunting materials, it would cost at least thirty to fifty thousand gold coins.

after thinking about it again and again, bai wushang decided to participate.

he was too poor now.

it was just a little better than being naked.

don’t be fooled by the sudden surge in income from the medical center.

however, they were still unable to maintain the full amount of training for the heavy god mountain and the colosseum.

not to mention, sometimes he would buy some emergency supplies.

the reserve of mysterious energy was shrinking.

then, there was the comparison between the benefits and risks.

it was in line with bai wushang’s mental standards.

it was difficult for goblins to evolve a second time.

there were extremely few records of a complete form in history.

the probability was roughly one in a million.

it was more than a hundred times more difficult than the evolution of ordinary creatures.

therefore, what bai wushang had to face was definitely the dregs that were mainly young, and the elite monsters that were supplemented by the mature ones.

this level was within the limits of his ability to bear, and was completely acceptable.

other than that, ah zhou needed to train.

changing the battle environment might yield twice the result with half the effort.

of course ... there was a more important point.

xiao ci was about to evolve!

by relying on the contract, by relying on the fluctuations of his aura that was getting stronger by the day.

bai wushang vaguely sensed this fact.

his heart was undoubtedly excited and nervous.

however, when he thought about it carefully, no matter what type or breed it was, he could not understand it.

as long as it was born, it would need a process of adaptation.

otherwise, with little bug’s combat awareness that was almost like a blank paper ...

if they really fought, it would be too tragic to look at and would only be a joke.

he had to do targeted training!

the bramble competition was just around the corner.

bai wushang hoped that he could have more trump cards.

the goblin mountains and other low-risk areas were good training grounds.
