The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 496 - 366: Goblin Priest Born from a Boss’s Evolution
Alright, after all, this is Bilenna’s first time using the Three Demon Souls for possession, gotta practice on some ordinary monsters first.
Thus, Bilenna dispatched the Three Demon Souls, and the Magic Mirror broadcasted the flying POV of the Three Demon Souls, surprisingly, it was the same view as Chun’s when his soul was out-of-body. But that’s not the point; the point is the Magic Mirror can track live streams!
Currently, Chun actually has no understanding of the powers of Aileen and the clone Bilenna.
Thinking about it, almost 20 days since the server opened, Aileen first possessed a Demonized Bat, then devoured the Shadow Demon and transformed into a child’s body to run outside the village, then devoured three Azazels disguised as the Three Sheep Gods to further obtain a body capable of healing and combat, then went to Gem City to devour the Shadow Demon Lord’s Demon Soul for a complete upgrade of the Magic Prism, and then Bilenna used the Three Demon Souls to absorb a large amount of residue souls of leader-level creatures from the last village attack... How could they be weak!
Perhaps, not strong on the material level, but extremely powerful on the soul level, so she can command 100 Dancing Girls?
As for the reason for being weak on a material level, is it because the possessed me is not strong enough?
With this thought, Chun inexplicably felt a slight sense of urgency...
Soon, the Three Demon Souls discovered 3 wandering goblin monsters in the forest area not far from the village.
Direct attack, possess!
But in the next moment, the three monsters held their heads and screamed in death!
Chun was stunned: "What is this?"
Bilenna sighed: "Firstly, they were too weak to withstand the power of the Demon Souls. Secondly, these Demon Souls are not the kind specialized in possession, unable to control the power of possession."
After all, they absorbed a lot of demon souls from the Goblin Leader!
Chun struggled: "This area is more or less filled with monsters of this level; if they can’t do it, probably others can’t either?"
Bilenna sighed: "Perhaps we should find one of elite-grade, leader-grade that can withstand it? Let’s simply search in three directions."
Thus, the Magic Prism split into three small grid views to track separately, which was incredibly convenient!
Chun suddenly recalled Jackal Wolf Village, there were many elite leaders there! But wait, why would they need possession? They believe in Six the Tree God anyway, let Six deliver a message, they might directly rush out to destroy that arrogant red name!
But the Gnolls aren’t in the current scene, suddenly appearing wouldn’t be appropriate!
Chun remembered something: "Bilenna, is the matter of the Jackal Wolf Tribe still confidential?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Bilenna chuckled: "There aren’t many people in the village who know, it’s hard to say about outsiders."
That’s good, it shows it’s still confidential.
Chun didn’t idle; he began to search strategies to find places where elite monsters appear frequently.
In fact, there had been a lot of strategies since the open beta, and elite monsters in the wild weren’t hard to find, usually in complex terrain hills, but they’re tough to beat, completely different from those elite monsters during monster sieges that fight to the death without retreating. Wild elites are highly intelligent, understand terrain, and fear death; when a player team approaches, they lead their squad and run away. If players pursue them recklessly, expending their physical strength, the elites suddenly counterattack with heavy strikes, even if players have shields to block a few hits, it depletes their physical strength. Or, if players enter into caves or canyons, they’ll drop rocks to ambush players.
Once elites are low on health, they immediately turn and run into various caves.
As for the benefits of fighting elites, it might not differ much from ordinary monsters; even if there’s better equipment or materials, compared to the cost of time, ammo, and potions consumed, it’s somewhat uneconomical...
Chun compared the map, directing the Demon Souls to search intricate terrain areas.
In no time, one of the Demon Souls flying north suddenly heard noise.
Bilenna was astonished: "What’s the situation?"
Chun’s brow twitched: "That noise, it seems to be goblin yelling?"
Bilenna got interested: "To be able to hear but not see, this goblin isn’t ordinary... maybe it’s of priest-grade?"
Priest?
The Demon Soul followed the sound’s direction, reaching a mountainous area, which was one of the strategy maps.
Chun suddenly realized this area seemed familiar; wasn’t it the spot Sariel sniped him with the Great Treasure Sword from the sky!
Chun found it hard to believe! This is the newbie area outside the main city, so close to the main city, would such high-level monsters appear?
At this moment, several hundred players near the mountain are farming ordinary monsters. Clearly, these aren’t China District players.
Chun somewhat esteemed the red name called Little Mountain God. If his red name strategy was to accumulate Sin Value to enter the lowest level of jail, he should’ve been killing players on sight! But he didn’t, only targeting Chinese players, what kind of mindset is this?
Perhaps, killing on sight might expose his real intentions, hence this is a sort of cover? However, the progress is slow...
The Demon Soul circled the field, and indeed found a few elite throwing stones at players from the mountain, but they were extremely cunning, silent, not showing heads, and not the noise the Demon Soul heard.
Chun suddenly got excited, could this well-known public test map have hidden scenes?
Then it could only be in the cave, the Demon Soul entered!
The noise became noticeably clearer!
But the Demon Soul circled twice without finding any priests, only a leader-level creature! This leader was documented in the strategy, just a stat monster.
Never mind, since this is a cave, no players outside can see, let’s possess this leader as a test.
"Bilenna, let’s start with this one."
Bilenna showed interest, the Demon Soul flew forward!
The next moment, the leader similarly held its head and screamed!
Holy shit, even the leader can’t withstand the Demon Soul’s power?
Bilenna sighed: "It seems trying priest-grade is still necessary."
However, the leader is not to be underestimated, it rolled and crawled to an inconspicuous small bush outside the cave, then jumped in with a splash, surprisingly a small water pit hidden by the bush!
Chun was shocked, now this is the hidden scene!
Soon, a small fluctuating Spatial Gate appeared underneath, as the leader entered, the scene changed!
The noise suddenly became loud, campfires ablaze!
This is a pit filled with Crystal Stone Ore, with skeletal frames stuck around the campfire, a short goblin wearing a mask adorned with various bone decorations knelt in front of the Demon Soul’s view, kowtowing!
——System prompt: The Demon Soul feels the goblin priest’s plea for power, will you agree?
Chun was amazed: "This... there really is a priest?"
Bilenna laughed: "Found it, and it’s enthusiastic, let’s possess it!"
Then agree!
The Demon Soul left the unconscious leader, directly possessing the goblin priest’s body, the small body emitted black light singing non-stop, the physique visibly expanded!
Bilenna was amused: "This one can!"
Chun noticed these crystal stones in the pit looked very familiar! Clearly, they are the same type of Crystal Stone Ore he excavated in the first tier of the Trial Ground!
Far more! The ore pile gleamed with purple light, surprisingly, there were several Purple Flame Crystal Ores from the Earth Flame Tribe!
Holy shit, how did Earth Flame Tribe’s ores end up here?
There’s only one possibility, related to the monster village attack a few days ago! Those village attacking monsters produced resources from Hell; when they died, they dropped some resources. High-level monster deaths dropped these Purple Flame Ores. Remember when the Firebird burned its way through here, killing many creatures.
Were these crystal ores then collected by this priest?
But that doesn’t seem right, it’s near the main city, a priest suddenly appearing is abnormal, perhaps it was that battle, a wild goblin leader nearby absorbed a large amount of goblin demon souls and crystal stone energy, immediately advancing to a priest?
Fine, not sure how its wisdom fares, ask after the possession ends.
Before long, the singing ended, the goblin’s size expanded to leader-grade, then continued kneeling at the fire, and its language Chun surprisingly understood: "Thank you, Master, for bestowing power! Godomigo wishes to serve the Master!"
Holy shit, it even has a name! The last goblin with a name was Duodolin, the Mining Grandmaster of Lost Paradise.
Chun tested if he could ask via the Magic Mirror: "How did you come to be?"
Godomigo got emotional, almost crying: "It’s the Master’s voice!"
Uh...
Chun corrected: "It’s the male Master!"
Bilenna laughed too: "I’m the female Master!"
Godomigo cried emotionally: "Godomigo reports to both Masters, a few days ago, a violent spatial explosion swept me underground. When I woke up, I discovered my body filled with the power of wisdom, plus these power crystals, I craved attaining strength..."
Holy shit, a spatial explosion? Wasn’t that Sariel’s Divine Artifact descending from the sky?
Knowing the background is good enough!
Chun immediately stirred things up: "I’ll let you test your strength..."
Then he used Zhou Qing’s phone to reply: "Leader, please notify the team going outside the city to coordinate (xxx, yyy) goblin spawning area."
By the way, so late at night, might Zhou Qing have already gone to sleep?
But Zhou Qing promptly replied: "Got it."
