Soon, Fangzhou's mental energy recovered to nearly 80%.
With the skeleton army around him, he was confident that he could easily deal with any goblin tribe except for a large-scale one.
After checking the direction with the recorder, Ark directed the 20 skeletons toward the Goblin Cave.
Meanwhile, watching Ark's hunting points continue to increase and eventually surpass her to rank first, Meng Hongzhuang, who had just experienced a great battle, shook off the bloodstains on her body, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and grabbed the ear of the giant bear Winnie in frustration.
Winnie, who was covered in injuries and panting heavily, snorted unhappily and nudged her master with her head.
Meng Hongzhuang sighed and used the [Rejuvenation of Withered Trees] skill.
A vibrant green light emanated from her hands as she began to heal the wounds of the beasts beneath her.
While receiving treatment, she muttered to herself, "Sigh, Fang Zhou is such a monster. I didn't expect him to crush me in points in less than a day."
My mental energy is almost exhausted, and Winnie and your stamina can no longer support a high-intensity battle.
Now we can only find a place to rest and prepare for the monsters' night attack.
I wonder how things are going on the other people's side?
In other corners of the underground cave, Ye Fan, Gu Zhi Qiu, and the others watched as Fang Zhou steadily climbed to the top of the leaderboard, his hunting points continuing to rise, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although they knew their chances of becoming the number one seed were slim, they all held onto a sliver of hope.
What if the Ark malfunctions?
Unfortunately, it now seems that Ark is as steady as ever, and the gap is so large that it makes them despair.
After fighting for most of the day, their physical and mental strength could no longer support such a frenzied hunt.
What they need to be more concerned about now is how to get through this difficult night ahead.
Amidst howling winds, the ark trudged on for over half an hour with great difficulty.
Along the way, he casually dealt with some monsters that came looking for trouble, and finally found the [Goblin Cave] marked on the map.
The cave is located in a barren hilly area and is hidden by huge rocks.
The entrance is piled with rough stones, forming a crooked archway.
However, to Fang Zhou's surprise, there were no goblin sentinels around the cave as he had imagined.
The realistic battlefield environment of Cave 1 is different from the easy difficulty of the [Horned Demon Outpost] in the simulated battlefield. No sentries were assigned to guard it in order to reduce the difficulty.
A goblin tribe that can survive in the extremely harsh conditions of underground caves would not possibly not have sentries stationed near their dwellings.
Are there no goblins in this cave?
Instinctively gripping his staff, Ark followed behind the Skull Squad, quietly approaching the Goblin Cave.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
At the entrance to the cave, there were three goblin corpses lying haphazardly.
No wonder I didn't see any sentries; they've already been taken out!
Fang Zhou's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a vague guess.
The monsters in the underground caves don't all stand together against a common enemy.
Even without military academy students sending cadets to hunt regularly, these monsters still kill each other, constantly vying for limited living space and resources.
Given the current situation, it is highly likely that another group of monsters has invaded the Goblin Cave.
Judging from the still-uncongealed bloodstains on these goblin corpses, not much time had passed since they died.
This also means that the battle between monsters may have only just begun.
Fangzhou crouched down and carefully examined the wounds on the goblins.
Most of the wounds were from blunt force trauma, while others looked like they had been burned by corrosive liquid. The attacker was probably about the same size as the goblin.
Blunt instrument? Corrosive liquid?
A flash of inspiration struck Fang Zhou, and he quickly searched the dungeon monster encyclopedia in the recorder, soon identifying the suspect.
A cave monster!
The wounds on these goblins most likely came from the cave dwellers and the slimes they kept.
Cave dwellers are otherworldly monsters with a primitive social structure, similar to goblins and kobolds.
However, the cave-dwelling monsters are a purely matriarchal clan.
They live in underground caves year-round and are quite rare. They also raise delicious and useful slimes, and their combat power is considered relatively strong among low-level monsters.
In comparison, both goblins and kobolds are easier to deal with than cavemen.
Therefore, few trainees consider them hunting targets.
If the cave is indeed filled with cave monsters and goblins fighting, then the Ark could go in now and become a fisherman.
With this in mind, Fangzhou quickly formulated a battle plan.
He ordered the demon's skeletons to cut off the pointed ears of the three goblins, left two skeletons to guard the entrance to prevent any later arrivals, and then decisively led his team into the cave.
The air inside the goblin cave was incredibly damp and had a putrid smell.
The ground was uneven, with a complex network of passages of all sizes.
The further you go in, the dimmer the light becomes. Fortunately, there are one or two campfires that are not completely extinguished, which provide some light and make it possible to see.
After advancing less than a few dozen meters, the leading skeleton squad discovered some more goblin bodies.
At this moment, the unreliable thermal imaging radar also issued an alarm.
There are a large number of life forms ahead!
The stench emanating from the monsters in the air became even more pronounced, and Ark moved with increasing caution.
After traveling nearly a hundred meters through the winding caves, he could faintly hear the battle roars of monsters and the dull thuds of weapons clashing ahead.
After rounding a bend, looking at the chaotic scene before him, even though Fangzhou was mentally prepared, he was still somewhat taken aback.
In this natural labyrinth of stalagmites and stalactites, a chaotic and fierce battle is unfolding.
More than twenty goblins were leaning against the campfire and the rock wall, fighting off the attack of thirty or forty cave monsters.
These goblins are short and stout, with greenish skin, pointed ears, and protruding teeth.
They were dressed in tattered iron armor and carried rusty axes, hammers, or spears, and were completely outnumbered and outmaneuvered.
The cave monsters, being short in stature and covered in gray-black stone scales, clearly held the strategic initiative.
They were clad in simple armor woven from animal bones, rags, and moss, and carried various short spears, swords, and knives made of stone or bone, and some even held rough wooden shields.
Other cave monsters climbed up the cave walls, nimbly weaving among the stalagmites and stalactites, hurling stones or spears at the goblins from above.
Within the cave monsters' battle group, there were also more than ten slimes they raised charging into battle.
Their bodies are soft and transparent, with colorful mucus flowing inside, resembling living gems.
Slimes are the best-tasting friends of cave dwellers in daily life, and also their indispensable helpers in battle.
Some slimes bounced like rubber balls, crashing into goblins and causing them to lose their balance.
Some slimes spray acidic slime that not only corrodes goblin weapons and armor but also obstructs their vision.
Another large slime completely enveloped a goblin, binding it tightly and allowing the cave monsters' short spears to pierce its body.
