Chapter 277 Special branch
According to what Yu Xiao learned, dark goblins have never been in harmony with humans in the cave world, and even have a hostile relationship in many areas.

Coker's negotiations are dangerous.

If he never returns, then he can only force his way through, or forcefully attack the fortress in front of him.

Although Yu Xiao is not afraid of these dungeon NPCs in a duel situation, but it is really not that easy to capture the impenetrable fortress in front of him. There is a high probability that he will have to wait for Luo Nan to send troops.

This time and again.

Time is very tight.

Waited for about a quarter of an hour.

The worst fears didn't happen.

Coker returned smoothly and reported: "Master Investigator, these goblins are willing to cooperate with us, and they seem to know the location of the cult's stronghold."

Hear this.

Yu Xiao was very surprised.

Unexpectedly, not only did not fight.

These dark goblins even took the initiative to cooperate.

what happened?If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!I'm afraid it's not that easy!
Yu Xiao sneered: "This group of people will be so kind? I think there must be conditions!"

Coker nodded and said: "As the adults said, these dark goblins want us to do one thing, saying that as long as this thing can be done, they will not only provide us with convenience, but also take us to the cult stronghold .”

Yu Xiao asked: "What's the matter?"

Coker shook his head: "They asked to communicate directly with you."

The dark goblin obviously also noticed that Coker was just a follower, and the real talker of this powerful team was by no means the chief guard of the city lord of Luonan.

"Could it be a scam?"

Gabriel said: "In case they set up traps and ambushes in advance, they just want to trick us into it and catch them all. Wouldn't it be equivalent to throwing ourselves into a trap if we go in like this?"

Coker frowned slightly: "It's not impossible, the dark goblin is cunning and treacherous, so we have to guard against it, Mr. Investigator, why not..."

Don't wait for the words to finish.

Yu Xiao interrupted.

"It's okay, I went in alone, even if I was targeted for deployment, it would not be so easy to keep me."

Yu Xiao left all the others outside.

Then enter the Dark Goblin Fortress yourself.

When he walked into the fortress, he found that the structure inside was far more complicated than he had imagined. Although the sparrow was small and well-equipped, there were very clear living areas, production areas, and commercial areas in this fortress.

As for the dark goblins?

This is an ugly humanoid creature with a height of only 1.4 meters.

Their appearance is six to seven points similar to the goblins in western legends.

However, compared with Goblin, it has more hair, looks like a monkey cheek, and is more intelligent.

Dark goblins are a branch of goblins, generally a variety that has been mutated by the influence of dark energy, so they have dark skin and scarlet eyes, and their characteristics are different from ordinary goblins.

Not long after Yu Xiao walked into the fortress.

The first thing to see is a neat line of goblin combatants.

The dark goblin itself is very weak in combat.

However, it can create very powerful alchemy equipment.

At this moment, these goblin fighters are all sitting in the two-meter-high mechs, and their various weapons are always activated, which shows that they are full of vigilance and hostility towards Yu Xiao's arrival.

[Goblin Mecha Warrior], level 15... Introduction: The guarding force of the Dark Goblin Fortress, the Dark Goblin itself is very weak, but they can gain incredible power by manipulating the Alchemy Mecha.

"You are the investigator?"

A dark goblin manipulating the fiery red mecha came up.

[Goblin Fortress Commander: Tavis], level 20... Introduction: The best of the goblin mecha soldiers, not only has excellent mecha driving experience, but also has a variety of other combat capabilities.

After getting Yu Xiao's confirmation.

Tavis took Yu Xiao into a hall.

This hall has its own enchantment and many heavy defense measures. It is estimated that it is a place specially used for dangerous experiments.

Look around.

Only outside the barrier.

There is a row of goblin mecha fighters on guard.

Ahead appeared a very old-looking goblin.

He was sitting on a metal spider-shaped piece of equipment, his flesh and blood seemed to have merged with the metal, and he could control the spider's body according to his will, as if he was using a part of his own body.

[The highest leader of the Goblin Fortress: Iset], level 20... Introduction: Iset is the fortress leader of the Dark Goblin Fortress. He has a very powerful spider-shaped alchemy outfit, and his combat power cannot be underestimated.

These guys.

The style of painting is really curious!
Yu Xiao complained in his heart.

He then stood up and said: "I am the leader of our army, and I am also a cave investigator. I am currently investigating the Black Truth!"

"I heard from Coker that you have clues to the Black Truth."

"I hope you can provide corresponding help."

Yu Xiao's tone was very rude.

On the one hand, he has the confidence to be rude.

On the one hand, facing these guys in front of you, if you are too polite, it will make them feel easy to bully, thus doubting their strength and making progress.

The goblin leader Iset looked Yu Xiao up and down, and the alchemy equipment worn in his left eye glowed red, as if he was scanning it.

however.

Iset soon found out.

His alchemy scouting eye.

It was impossible to analyze the strength of the person in front of him.

Isset nodded and said: "You are right, we do have the information you need, but goblins never do business at a loss."

"If you want to obtain this information, please exchange it with sufficient bargaining chips and sincerity!"

Yu Xiao asked: "What do you want?"

Yiset said: "We are not short of money or resources, we need to hire you to help us hunt a monster."

Yu Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that there are side missions?
"say clearly!"

"This monster is in the deepest part of the blood swamp. It is a very ancient demon that was bred in an unknown ancient age."

Iset said: "The mental fluctuations emitted by this demon not only seriously affected our mining of ore, but also posed a huge threat to the lives and properties of goblins."

Yu Xiao immediately asked: "You have a lot of troops and weapons, why don't you mobilize troops to deal with it?"

Iset said: "This monster is very, very powerful, and at the same time it is good at large-scale indiscriminate spiritual attacks, and what we goblins are least good at dealing with is also attacks from the spirit."

Yu Xiao probably understood.

Because the number of these dark goblins is not too large, they are combatants with combat effectiveness, coupled with powerful alchemy methods, and body mutations are more resistant to negative energy, so they can survive in this land.

The combat power of the fortress goblins is not weak.

Enough to deal with monsters that appear nearby.

However, dark goblins also have a fatal weakness, that is, goblins are too dependent on equipment, and their own attributes are very weak, especially spiritual attributes.

With powerful equipment, goblins can resist all physical attacks, or energy attacks that can be traced.

Only in terms of defensive spirit and soul attack, there are big deficiencies.

Therefore, when encountering an opponent who is extremely good at using spirit or soul attacks, the dark goblins can only send out creations such as alchemy dolls, and dare not fight against them in person.

Of course.

Even so.

The strength of this blood marsh demon should not be underestimated.

Yu Xiao has personally experienced the alchemy puppets created by the Dark Goblin Fortress. Although they are not a threat to him, their combat effectiveness is not weak. If there are enough of them, they can completely compete against the top overlord units.

however.

Goblin Fortress has nothing to do with this monster.

Could it be that this monster has reached the king-level strength?

The condition proposed by the leader of the dark goblins, Iset, is that Yu Xiao and his people help the fortress to eliminate this terrible monster, and the fortress will cooperate with them to deal with the dark truth in exchange.

If this group of outsiders succeeds.

The fortress will henceforth be less of a huge threat.

Even if these outsiders fail, there will be no loss, it is simply a guaranteed profit.

These goblins are indeed a bunch of shrewd profiteers.

However, at this moment, a game notification sound appeared.

【Ding! 】

[Trigger branch! 】

[Task Name: Destroy the Blood Swamp Demon! 】

When he heard the notification sound of the game, Yu Xiao froze for a moment, he didn't expect that the mission was actually triggered.

To know.

Yu Xiao is currently working on the main storyline.

If the Dark Goblin Fortress or the Blood Marsh Demon are troubles that must be dealt with during the main storyline, then this event will not trigger the task separately, but will be merged into the main storyline.

The current situation is.

This time alone triggers the branch.

Explains that accepting the goblin's request is not required.

There may be other passages nearby that can bypass the stronghold and directly enter the target area.

From this point of view, I may have really gone astray. This may be a super side mission, and the strength of the monster may be beyond imagination.

But think carefully.

That's not necessarily a bad thing either.

Because the higher the level of the monster, the richer the rewards!
If you can complete this task, you can also get the help of the goblins, and then the main line will be smoother!
The Maze of the Dead is so large, and the location of the cultists is still unknown so far. If these goblins lead the way, it can save a lot of effort.

"can!"

Yu Xiao didn't talk nonsense.

"I need the exact location of this monster!"

But Tavis said: "This matter is of great importance. Attacking this monster rashly may anger it. We cannot ignore the risks involved!"

Yu Xiao said directly: "What do you mean?"

Tavis said: "We don't want you to die in vain, so we, you and I have prepared a test. If you can pass the test of the Dark Fortress, it's not too late to challenge this monster!"

Yu Xiao frowned.

The goblin leader Isset hurriedly continued: "Dear investigator, please forgive Tavis for being rude, but as Tavis said, this matter is related to the entire fortress, and it is also related to your safety, and so are we. Don’t dare to be careless at all.”

Dark goblins are always cautious.

So I plan to try Yu Xiao first.

Although such a request was a bit excessive, Yu Xiao did not refuse, and readily agreed.

Yu Xiao said, "Yes! But my time is precious! It's best not to waste my time!"

"Don't worry, we are all ready. The opponent you will face is a great goblin potion master here."

The goblin leader Iset said: "If you can kill him, it fully shows that you have the ability to challenge the blood marsh demon, so please let us see your power now!"

Is it necessary to be so useless in testing strength?

A potion master refers to a kind of alchemist who mainly refines potions, and those who refine mechanical equipment belong to two schools.

An excellent potion master is a very important talent resource no matter what world he is in.

however.

Judging from the tone of the goblin leader.

He didn't seem to mind Yu Xiao killing him at all.

Just when Yu Xiao was still confused about this, a cage passage in front of him was suddenly opened, and a bloodthirsty and violent breath came from the depth of the passage.

next second.

A purple figure.

Quickly rush out of the passageway of the test site.

The other goblins had already retreated to the outside of the arena ahead of time, and opened the barrier for protection. When Yu Xiao saw the monster in front of him clearly, he also showed a surprised expression.

Things that appear.

Not a goblin at all.

It is three meters high, covered with glowing scales, and has a bunch of horns on top of its head. It looks like an abyssal demon.

[Out-of-control potion master: Dak], a level 20 overlord unit... Introduction: Once a potion master with profound knowledge and respected by thousands of people, unfortunately, he was permanently transformed into a monster because of a failed potion experiment .

Without waiting for Yu Xiao to observe carefully.

The mad potionist was the first to attack.

The monster's scales exploded with energy, instantly producing at least five times the factor, and it came to the front almost in the blink of an eye, waving its luminous claws like attacking Yu Xiao.

so fast!
Are you good at physical attacks?
Yu Xiao didn't dodge the attack.

Let the sharp claws fall on the body, and then pass through the body.

The sharp claws not only cut Yu Xiao's body, but also left a huge claw mark on the field.

"what happened?"

"Why don't you hide?"

Everyone watching the battle was stunned.

Although the speed, strength and explosive power of this monster are amazing, there is no reason for this human being to be killed in one round.

The goblin leader also showed confusion.

Have you lost your sight?The existence of this self-proclaimed investigator is probably just a show that is not useful.

but.

quickly.

Everyone reacted.

In just a short moment, the potion monster launched more than a dozen claw attacks on Yu Xiao, and the scarlet claws could not pass through Yu Xiao's body, but Yu Xiao still stood there motionless.

"Not right!"

"The attack seems to have missed!"

It turned out that at the moment of being attacked.

Yu Xiao activated the ability of Pang Juan's leggings.

Let your body enter a state of almost physical immunity.

Although the potion monster's attack was fierce, it was only a physical attack. Even if Yu Xiao didn't do anything for a short time, he would not be hurt.

Although the potion monster had a low IQ, it retained a good fighting instinct. When it realized that its attack could not work, it immediately switched its attack method.

Full of energy.

Hit the horns on the head.

A beam of blue energy shot out.

Like a laser beam, it went towards Yu Xiao.

"Flash of the wind!"

"Raging Blood Flame Slash!"

Yu Xiao appeared behind this monster in an instant, and the terrifying knife light directly left a 20-meter-long knife mark on the solid ground of the experimental hall.

[You killed the "out-of-control potion master", experience +60000, gold coins +120000, you got the "Blood Curse Demon Armor Fragment"! 】
