Ye Feng was very surprised. Angel's Blade, he had just guessed casually before, and never expected it to be true.
After all, the system's previous hints were too misleading, only providing the name Angel's Blade, with no information about its location or distance.
He had no way to find it…
But he never expected that what the goblins covered with a large stone lid was actually the Angel's Blade!
"Epic item!"
Ye Feng keenly captured the keywords in the system prompt.
Ye Feng had previously asked the system, and the treasure chest grades from low to high were: Wood, Bronze, Black Iron, Steel, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and so on…
For each grade of treasure chest opened, the highest grade of item that could be obtained was the grade corresponding to that treasure chest.
For example, a wooden treasure chest could at most contain basic daily necessities. As the grade increased, the quality of the items would also increase.
By the time of the Silver treasure chest, firearms and ammunition could even be obtained…
"This epic item… is not within the grade range of treasure chests mentioned by the system…"
"Above Diamond?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and quickly thought.
…
More than two hours later,
Old Man Li and a group of villagers finally finished off all the goblins that were still breathing and sat on stones and the ground in groups to rest.
They chatted happily with each other, their faces filled with smiles and anticipation for their future lives.
From time to time, they looked at Ye Feng, casting glances of gratitude and reverence.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng was somewhat depressed!
Because in the past two hours, he and Xiao Xiao had proved through countless experiments that as long as he took the Angel's Blade away.
Whether he picked it up directly with his hand, wrapped it in cloth, or put it into his spatial storage.
The desert marching ants in the distance would become restless and advance towards them…
"It seems that this Angel's Blade is indeed the reason why the desert marching ants dare not advance towards Green God Town…"
"This Angel's Blade seems to possess some kind of mysterious power!"
"This power makes the goblins very afraid, perhaps even unable to touch it, only thinking of washing it away in the underground river…"
"This power can also prevent the desert marching ants thousands of meters away from acting in this direction…"
"This is quite troublesome!"
Ye Feng's expression was filled with indecision.
He wanted to take away this epic item, the Angel's Blade, but he also didn't want the townsfolk, who had finally escaped the clutches of the goblins, to be devoured by the desert marching ants because of him.
"Big brother, it's almost evening, are we going back to Green God Town?"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao, holding a telescope, came down from the hillside and walked to Ye Feng's side, asking.
She had been observing the movements of the desert marching ants on the hillside according to Ye Feng's instructions.
"No!"
"Let's spend the night here tonight!"
After thinking about it, Ye Feng still refused.
It was several hours' journey from here to the town, and he didn't want to wake up to find the Angel's Blade taken by someone else, or carried away by animals…
"Alright then~"
Although Xiao Xiao disliked the goblin corpses lying not far away, she still nodded in agreement.
Not long after, more villagers arrived, carrying various buckets, basins, and jars.
"Old Man Li, what's going on with those villagers?"
Ye Feng pointed at the vast number of villagers walking towards them, looking somewhat confused.
"Oh, Mr. Ye, I called them~"
"There are too many goblin corpses, and the weather is hot now."
"I'm afraid of an epidemic, so I asked them to go back and prepare tung oil to burn the goblin corpses~"
Old Man Li slowly explained to Ye Feng.
"Our Green God Town, oh no, it's Maple Leaf Town!"
"Apart from maple trees, this place has the most tung trees. We use them to waterproof and preserve our houses and furniture!"
"This tung oil can not only waterproof and preserve, but also expel phlegm and wind. Externally it can treat scabies, sores, burns, and scalds. My family's previous…"
With the nightmare of goblins gone, Old Man Li was in a good mood and even chatted with Ye Feng about everyday matters.
"Can we burn them tomorrow?"
"I want to stay here tonight, I have something to do, and I don't want to smell the burning goblins~"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and said.
"Of course!"
Old Man Li agreed immediately without hesitation, "Mr. Ye, we actually planned to do so before."
"After all, there are so many goblins here, and the tung oil brought by the villagers is clearly not enough."
"We'll bring more tomorrow and burn all these beasts' corpses together!"
He paused, and Old Man Li added again.
……
Around eight or nine in the evening,
Ye Feng was posting some news about goblins in the [Regional Chat Channel] to remind everyone to be careful.
Of course, he also mentioned that if there were any clues about goblin lairs, they could trade with him.
After all, goblins were important usable points for Ye Feng.
His message was quickly followed by a lot of discussion.
"Big Brother Zhang San, is the goblin you mentioned really like the terrifying monster in the anime that exclusively eats men and captures women for breeding machines?"
Zhang San: "Yes, more or less~"
"Big Brother Zhang San, did you encounter goblins?"
"What nonsense are you spouting upstairs? Didn't Big Brother Zhang San just say? Not only did he encounter them, but he also killed quite a few! Don't waste Big Brother's talking time!"
Sitting on Mountains and Rivers Like Paintings: "That Big Brother Zhang San, isn't the anime you're talking about the one where a group of novice adventurers go to a goblin cave and get wiped out, and the female adventurer is captured by goblins and…"
Zhang San: "Yes…"
Sitting on Mountains and Rivers Like Paintings: "Damn, it really is!"
Sitting on Mountains and Rivers Like Paintings: "Then Big Brother Zhang San, did you watch the uncensored version? Was it the version without holy light?"
Zhang San: "……"
"The one upstairs named Sitting on Mountains and Rivers Like Paintings, does that anime related to goblins have an uncensored version?"
"Upstairs +1"
"Upstairs +10086"
……
Sitting on Mountains and Rivers Like Paintings: "You guys don't even know… pitiful children, living in a censored world…"
Sitting on Mountains and Rivers Like Paintings: "By the way, Big Brother Zhang San, since you encountered goblins and killed many of them that caused you trouble, have you encountered any holy maidens? Please don't let her be defiled by the goblins…"
"Upstairs +1"
"Yeah, I was so angry when I saw this in the anime, it's unforgettable!"
"Upstairs +10010"
……
"Wait, Big Brother Zhang San just said he has clues about goblin lairs and can trade with him. Isn't he planning to go find trouble with the goblins?"
"This…"
"……"
Sitting on Mountains and Rivers Like Paintings: "Goblin… Goblin… Killer?"
……
"What the hell are you guys upstairs talking about, Big Brother Zhang San didn't say he encountered any holy maidens, why are you so excited?"
Sitting on Mountains and Rivers Like Paintings: "It's none of your business, Big Brother Zhang San didn't deny it!"
"Exactly!"
"Support upstairs!"
……
"By the way, if Big Brother Zhang San encounters a holy maiden, and sees how beautiful and sexy she is, and he can't control himself and… her…"
……
"These people…"
Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
……
The next day,
As soon as it was dawn, Ye Feng woke up.
He was in a bad mood.
Because after a whole night, he still hadn't figured out a good way to take the Angel's Blade away.
"Big brother, why are you up so early?"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao, who was still sleepy, came out, yawned, and asked.
"I…"
Ye Feng was about to answer, but suddenly stopped.
Because the sky, which was originally dimly lit, suddenly erupted with dazzling red light, quickly illuminating the entire land.
"What's going on?"
"Is it getting light this fast?"
……
