Chapter 118 Chapter 118: Pure Holy Stones!
Hearing this, the black goblin high priest hurriedly kowtowed and said, “Master, I absolutely don’t dare to lie to you. Please hear me out.”
“Although Holy Stones have this kind of drawback, there are ways to avoid it.”
“As long as three Holy Stones become one, you will be able to obtain Pure Holy Stones. You will no longer be eroded by the God of Darkness. However, the soul power that the God of Darkness collects will increase to 60%.”
Ren Qi nodded as he digested the information regarding the Holy Stone in his mind.
Ren Qi still held a skeptical attitude towards the God of Darkness that the black goblin high priest mentioned.
However, this Holy Stone was a good thing. As long as it was a darkness-type creature, they could sacrifice their souls into the Holy Stone. Half of the soul power would be taken away by the so-called God of Darkness, and the rest could be returned to the soldiers to help them level up.
However, the side effects could not be accepted. It seemed that they needed three Holy Stones combined into one pure Holy Stone.
Following that, Ren Qị looked at the black goblin and asked, “What’s with the color of your skin? Why is it so black?”
Since Tina did not discover any power of the God of Darkness when she was charming him, that meant that he was using a Pure Holy Stone. Then, how could the color of his skin change?
“Master, previously, our Goblin Kingdom only had one Holy Stone. We relied on Holy Stones to increase our power. Later, we obtained three Holy Stones to form a Pure Holy Stone. It removed the God of Darkness’ corruption, but the color of our skin could not be changed back.”
“If we had used a Pure Holy Stone from the beginning, there would not have been a problem with the color of our skin changing.”
The black goblin high priest said carefully.
Ren Qi nodded and continued, “According to what you said, the Goblin Kingdom has the Pure Holy Stone. Tell me, what is the situation in the Goblin Kingdom?”
This was Ren Qi’s first time hearing about the Goblin Kingdom. It sounded like a country where many goblins gathered.
The black goblin high priest didn’t hide anything. “The Goblin Kingdom is in the dark forest, and we were sent out to investigate the destruction of a goblin camp.”
“We just found a Holy Stone in that camp. If it could be fused with the kingdom’s Pure Holy Stone, it could increase the purity of the Pure Holy Stone. However, we don’t know who destroyed that camp, and the Holy Stone in the camp has also disappeared.”
The black goblin high priest spoke as he looked at Ren Qi. He had already sensed the existence of the Holy Stone, so that camp should have been destroyed by his master.
Ren Qi muttered to himself. Because of the use of the Holy Stone, he was extremely interested in the it.
Speaking in human language, he wanted to snatch it back.
After thinking for a while, Ren Qi asked, “How strong is the Goblin Kingdom? Who is the strongest among them?”
This Goblin Kingdom should have quite a number of people. If they were not strong, he could consider it.
The black goblin high priest said, “There’s only one Tier-9 goblin in the kingdom, and he’s our king. Apart from me, there are two other Tier-8 high priests. The rest are mostly Tier-7 and Tier-6.”
“As for the population of the Goblin Kingdom, it’s about 30,000.”
30,000?
Ren Qi raised his brows, somewhat shocked by this number.
However, it was probably because it had 30,000 people that could be considered a kingdom.
Ren Qi continued to ask, “Where is the exact location of the Goblin Kingdom?”
The black goblin high priest replied, “It’s in the black mist forest. The kingdom is underground. We have an underground world there.”
“Underground world? A population of 30,000? Then why haven’t I seen too many goblins before?”Ren Qi continued to ask.
During the demon wave, many monsters invaded, but Ren Qi never found any traces of black goblins.
“Before that, there was a black dragon. Our Goblin Kingdom was its vassal, and we didn’t dare to come out until a few days ago. We only dared to come out after it left.”
Black dragon?
Ren Qi naturally thought of the Tier-8 Black Dragon from before, but since there was a Tier-9 goblin king in the Goblin Kingdom, why would they be so afraid of a Tier-8 black dragon?
Ren Qi looked at the black goblin high priest and asked, “A Tier-8 black dragon?”
“No, it’s a Tier-9 black dragon!” The black goblin high priest shook his head.
A Tier-9 black dragon!
Ren Qi’s heart skipped a beat. The black dragon he had encountered before was a Tier-8 black dragon. He had never thought that there would be a Tier-9 black dragon in the black mist forest.
Fortunately, the other party had already left the black mist forest.
Ren Qi began to ponder. Although the Goblin Kingdom only had one Tier-9 and two Tier-8 goblins, it had a population of 30,000!
If his succubus army were to attack, they would probably be drowned.
Moreover, it was fortunate that Elise had coincidentally met this group of black goblins and captured them.
Otherwise, if they found out that the lost Holy Stone was here, he would probably face an attack from the Goblin Kingdom after these black goblins reported back.
If he wanted to snatch the Pure Holy Stone, he would need to plan carefully.
After thinking for a long time, Ren Qi looked at the black goblin high priest and asked, “What’s your status in the Goblin Kingdom? Can you get the Holy Stone yourself?”
If the black goblin high priest could get the holy stone, Ren Qi could ask him to go back and secretly steal it.
The black goblin high priest shook his head. “Master, although I’m the High Priest of the Goblin Kingdom, only the king can touch the Pure Holy Stone. Moreover, it’s in the king’s palace. I can’t touch it at all.”
Ren Qi nodded and then asked, “Right, what’s your name?”
“Reporting to master, my name is Tarusa.”
Ren Qi paced around. Looking at Tarusa, he said, “Alright, Tarusa, I will give you a mission. Immediately return to the underground Goblin Kingdom and directly inform them that you have found the location of the Holy Stone. Then, you tell the king that I only have one Tier-8 soldier, and the rest are Tier 4 or 5. Do you understand?”
Tarusa was stunned for a moment before he nodded. “I understand, Master.”
Although he did not know what his master wanted to do, Tarusa was now completely in Ren Qi’s control. Naturally, he would not betray his orders.
“En, you can go back on your own. Just tell him that the others died in battle. If the goblin king wants to attack my territory, I hope that you can lead the team.” Ren Qi patted Tarusa’s shoulder, looking as if he had high hopes for him.
Tarusa was moved. “Don’t worry, Master. I’ll do my best!”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
As for the remaining black goblins, Ren Qi originally wanted Tina to use a large-scale charm to make them change their faction first, and then slowly increase their loyalty.
However, he didn’t expect Tina to tell him that there was a will left in the minds of these black goblins that couldn’t be overriden.
“Could it really be the corruption of the God of Darkness?”
Ren Qi frowned and asked Tina.
Tina replied, “I’m not too sure if it’s the corruption of the God of Darkness, but from the looks of it, it’s just a remnant will. Although it’s strong, it’s not too strong.”
Ren Qi nodded. There was nothing he could do. He could only kill all these black goblins.
Otherwise, letting them stay in the territory would only be a disaster.
Just as Ren Qi was about to arrange for Elise and the others to continue hunting, two private messages arrived.
Ren Qi turned on his communication device and saw that they were from Li Tianlan and Xuan Ming!
