With Huamo blazing the trail, Qiang Nantie and his group effortlessly sliced their way through the enemy lines.

They found themselves in an expansive cave, a labyrinth of passages that branched off in all directions, leading to numerous locations.

"Stay together," came the cautionary advice.

Their numbers were limited, and unity was their safest bet, especially since no one could be sure if more formidable creatures lurked among the Goblins.

The Goblins inhabiting this particular cave were swiftly vanquished. The cavern's depths revealed a living space, likely where a portion of the Goblin community had resided, complete with an array of household items.

Among the spoils were animal hides, weapons, cotton fabric, and linen garments—none of which were particularly fine. However, Qiang Nantie's true interest lay in the transported iron ore and the sites of weapon forging.

Still, he gathered all the items. Though he had no use for them, he was aware that many Lords were in dire need of such goods at this stage.

He was not one to squander any resources.

"Let's check elsewhere."

Navigating the interconnected caves was a complex task, requiring them to methodically explore each one.

Thanks to Bi Yu's exceptional Mental Strength, she could memorize any path they traversed, ensuring they never had to worry about losing their way.

For this, Qiang Nantie commended her, as his own memory was not nearly as reliable.

Meanwhile, the Goblins had initiated a search for the intruders. Huamo, leading the charge, engaged in combat with the Goblins once more. Their feeble resistance was quickly overcome, and they were promptly dispatched.

After traversing several caves with little to show for it, aside from the numerous Goblins they had slain and the substantial Soul Coin rewards they had reaped, something caught Qiang Nantie's attention.

"This passage seems unusual."

He noted a larger tunnel and upon closer inspection, discovered the distinctive marks of a lone wheel's passage.

"This way, everyone."

They were likely closing in on the Goblins' weapon forging site, so they hastened their advance.

They encountered numerous Goblin guards with considerable strength and weaponry that surpassed that of the average Goblin.

Suddenly, a chilling arrow zipped towards Qiang Nantie, aiming straight for his forehead.

"Lord, watch out!"

With swift reflexes, Le Cili whipped out a vine and deftly swatted the arrow away.

Even without Le Cili, Qiang Nantie was never in any real danger. He remained vigilant, constantly aware of his surroundings.

They spotted several Goblin archers concealed behind the boulders, launching an assault on Qiang Nantie and his group.

"Attack, take them out!" commanded Qiang Nantie.

Bi Yu swiftly employed her Mental Strength, rendering them unconscious. Following that, Le Jun and Le Kuihao stepped forward and dispatched the Goblins.

She gathered several bows and arrows.

Despite their preference for melee combat, he stored these weapons for later use.

The cave was teeming with Goblins; they encountered numerous Level 16 Goblins along their path. But the disparity in strength between the Goblins and Huamo's group was immense, leading to the Goblins' swift demise.
