Infinite Evolution of My Territory

C38 - The Strengthening of the Goblin's Nest

After slaying over a hundred Mantis Warriors, Qiang Nantie reaped a substantial reward.

His tally of Soul Coins had surged to 5123 points once more.

Furthermore, the treasure chests dropped by these Mantis Warriors were predominantly Black Iron or higher, with a significant number of Bronze Treasure Chests among them.

Wooden chests made up only a small fraction of the loot.

Mantis Warriors, humanoid in form, typically didn't carry much value.

Their limbs, however, were exceptional crafting materials.

"Harvest the arms from these Mantis Warriors," Qiang Nantie instructed.

Even unrefined, the Mantis Warriors' razor-sharp limbs served as formidable weapons.

Qiang Nantie reviewed their properties.

Item: Mantis Blade Edge

Quality: C

Attribute: Sharpness +8

Description: The arms of the Mantis Warriors are premium weapon materials. With minimal crafting, they can be transformed into exquisite weapons.

Undoubtedly, these were excellent for weapon forging and highly sought after in the market.

Hundreds of Mantis Blade Edges equated to hundreds of potent weapons.

To turn these pre-formed weapons into finished ones, he simply needed to incorporate other ores and refine them.

But first, he needed to master the art of weapon refinement.

As they ventured further into the mist, they encountered solitary Mantis Warriors and swiftly overwhelmed them.

The subsequent area was devoid of monsters. They had traversed several hundred meters before coming across a different creature.

This beast towered at least three meters high.

Monster: Earth Violent Bear

Quality: Enhanced Elite

Level: 18

Traits: Berserk, Strength Enhancement

Profile: Known for its volatile nature and formidable strength, it relishes crushing its enemies' skulls.

"It's a level 18 Enhanced Elite," Qiang Nantie noted.

His curiosity piqued. Was this entire region an enclave of Enhanced Elite monsters?

For most, this would be treacherous terrain.

But for Qiang Nantie, it was a primeval hunting ground ripe with rewards.

The higher the monster's quality, the greater the Attribute Points gained with each level—paralleling the progression of heroes.

An Enhanced Elite at level 18 could rival the combat prowess of a monster in its early twenties. Given its innate talents, it might even match the attributes of an ordinary level 25 monster.

Despite the situation, Qiang Nantie remained unfazed. His soldiers were of no less than Grade S quality, ensuring that with each level up, their Attribute Points increased more than those of an Elite.

He boasted heroes like Huamo and Bi Yu, both of the highest RRR grade.

With their numerical superiority, the outcome of the battle was a foregone conclusion.

As the fight commenced, Bi Yu tapped into her formidable Mental Strength to subdue the Earth Violent Bear, lulling it into a deep slumber.

Le Cili and the others, Vine Demons by nature, followed up with a barrage of thorny assaults. The spiky onslaught from the eight of them shrouded the bear within a ten-meter radius.
