Chapter 119: More Than Just Acquaintances
Pori was feeling grateful for surviving a near-death experience.
Suddenly, the temperature around him dropped significantly.
What’s happening?
The goblin tried to leave but found itself unable to move.
Upon closer inspection, it discovered that its arm had somehow been frozen to the wall!?
With a hard shove!!
Crack—crack—!
Ice shards kept falling, yet its arm remained stuck in the ice block.
“Haha, look at its silly face!”
Pori was taken aback by this voice; wasn’t it the goblin’s voice from earlier?
In disbelief, he looked up and saw both goblins standing right in front of him!
He could no longer feel proud.
“You can’t kill me! I… yes, I hold the secret to the Battle Puppet! If I die, no one will be able to stop that crazy guy!”
“Oh, do tell?” Kainel said lazily.
“Gulp,” Pori swallowed hard and tentatively said, “If you first unfreeze the ice, I will talk.”
Libri approached closer, “Really?”
“Really!”
“Alright.” Libri nodded and melted the ice on Pori’s left hand.
Before Pori could breathe a sigh of relief, he found his right hand frozen again!
“Can you speak now?”
…
Starry was struggling to maneuver against the Battle Puppet.
With its steel body, even a hit from Qiuyue didn’t deal much damage, and not only was the line of sight blocked, but the terrain was also extremely narrow; a careless move could lead to hitting the walls.
Thanks to its exceptionally high physical defense and lifesteal, her health fluctuated wildly; if it weren’t for the Firewalk Boots reducing the boss’s hit rate, Starry would have already been done for.
The Battle Puppet still had 35,000 health left.
She couldn’t figure out how the goblin created such a monster; the gap in power was too big!
The Star Cat had died and returned to pet space ten seconds ago.
Zane didn’t know how much longer he could hold on; having gotten new gear and skills, he had become a bit too bold, even thinking about directly attacking the goblin’s lair.
In truth, if not for this Battle Puppet, they wouldn’t be in such a dire situation; at least the Snow Feather Goblin’s combat power far surpassed that of the goblins.
Half a minute later, familiar lightning flickered from the giant fist.
It was Thunderfist!
However, he was now in a bind, all skills were on cooldown, and looking at the Thunder Spear, the 12-hour cooldown wouldn’t end anytime soon.
Without the Ice Flow Shield for protection, this hit would mean certain death!
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
Three arrows sliced through the air and struck behind the Battle Puppet.

The damage was pitiful, but there was a strange sound.
Click—click—click
Click————
It was as if a gear had gotten stuck.
The football-sized fist stopped right in front of Starry, and the lightning above disappeared.
Starry was still shaken.
“Hero, are you alright! We found out the secret of this Battle Puppet!” Kainel shouted.
“…”
…
“Is it quiet inside? That was fast?” A goblin leaned against the rubble from the explosion, listening intently.
“Normal; who can stand against that big guy? If it weren’t for being uncontrollable, would we still be huddled in this tiny maze?”
“True, those goblins definitely can’t hold out, but… I think that human needs to be watched.”
“What’s there to watch? There are only corpses left inside now. In a bit, we’ll go up and make a hole to see the situation.”
“Alright, I’ll listen a bit more to confirm…”
Before the goblin could finish, a tremendous explosion occurred among the boulders!!
-4786
The goblin at the explosion’s center was instantly blown to bits, while another goblin was left with just a sliver of health, staring in disbelief at the human and goblin emerging from the smoke, before being taken down by Starry’s sword.
Starry looked at the goblin’s corpse, which was flashing with a faint white light.
She bent down to pick things up.
System Notification: You have picked up Magic Landmine x3.
Magic Landmine: After use, place a magical landmine at the target location; passing objects or strong impacts will detonate the mine, dealing 2500 magic + 2500 physical mixed damage to the center target within a 3-yard range (outer damage decreases).
Landmines? Perhaps they will be useful for fighting the boss.
Additionally, this goblin also dropped 25 coins—really rich! It seemed they had been making a fortune for quite a while.
“Clan Leader, Hero, it’s done!” Kainel shouted excitedly.
“Is that so? Show me what you’ve got.”
“Sure thing!” A strong rumbling sound emanated from the cave.
…
When Zane arrived at the maze rock formation with the wolf pack, the scene was one of complete devastation, with goblin corpses and explosion craters everywhere.
“My goodness, it looks like it was just blown up!” Nangong said, stunned.
“Roughly.” Zane casually replied. “Starry has cleared out most of the threats here.”
“No wonder we didn’t see the heroine; did she take down this training ground all by herself?!” Endless Sea exclaimed in shock.
“Starry sister is amazing!” Cute Orange added.
As they spoke, Starry approached with the Snow Feather Goblin and a goblin trailing behind, followed by a huge figure.
“A robot…?” Chuxue wondered.
“No,” Starry shared the Battle Puppet’s attributes in the team.
“Wow, what crazy attributes! A level 30 Gold Grade Elite? And these skills don’t seem weak either!”
“Don’t worry, it’s no longer a threat.” Starry smiled faintly.
Just as the goblins approached them, Youyoufen felt a tremor in the pet space, and Lord Xisi unexpectedly ran out by himself!
Alu was taken aback, his mouth slightly open, hand outstretched, and after a moment, he finally spoke, “I remember you! Lord Xisi of the Green Rock Goblins!”
“Alu…?” Lord Xisi’s eyes lit up, then he sensed something was off, “No, even though it looks somewhat familiar, it feels completely different.”
“My father… has fallen. I am his son Alu, the newly appointed clan leader of the Snow Feather Goblins.”
“Even the Snow Feather… damn it!” Lord Xisi tightened his fists in anger.
“Is the Green Rock clan still well? And why are you with these humans…”
Lord Xisi’s expression dimmed significantly, “The Green Rock Goblins have been exterminated.”
“What!” Not only Alu but even the goblins behind were astonished.
“Sigh…” With that sigh, Lord Xisi seemed to age a few years, “We have been used as pawns by the Dark Faction. Any slight movement will have us uprooted, perhaps… you Snow Feather’s position is the right one.”
“Damn the Dark Faction! I’ve had enough of their arrogance!” Alu said with resentment, “This time, I want to build a home for our people in the Crimson Plain. As long as the front-line city of humans stands, we won’t be harmed. By the way, Lord Xisi, let me introduce you. This human is the hero of our Snow Feather Goblin clan!”
“Hmph, her? She has the capability.” Lord Xisi nodded.
“Do you know her?”
“More than just knowing, I almost got killed by her!” Lord Xisi recalled.
“Ahem…” Starry awkwardly cleared her throat.
