Train Survival: Can I get a treasure chest by touching my goddess?

Chapter 52 (High-Energy Chapter): Goblins should all die! Updated! Read now:

"Was that you just now?"

Shen Wen waved his spiked club and looked at Yu Xiu and the others not far away. Su Qingxuan whispered their identities to him.

"Yu Xiu?"

Shen Wen didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here. This guy was indeed ruthless. He was the first to say that he would kill the train conductor and then randomly replace him with another conductor.

Especially on regional channels, it's like opening Pandora's box, since no one can be on guard against the same train every moment.

I don't have the energy.

But Shen Wen frowned, mainly because he sensed a different kind of aura from Yu Xiu, an aura that existed even before they arrived at the struggle for survival.

He had only seen it in professions that protected the country.

He glanced at the people beside him again. Although they had raincoats, Shen Wen's eyesight was still poor due to his current physical condition.

Both of them looked quite well.

With his guard down considerably, Yu Xiu nodded: "Shen Tong... Boss Shen."

"We meant no harm. We came over to help you, but it seems you don't need our help. We were being presumptuous."

Shen Wen remained expressionless. Even if Yu Xiu might have a legitimate profession, anyone could change in this life-or-death struggle on the train.

Even Shen Wen himself.

For their safety, Shen Wen said, "We breached this place, so the spoils should belong to us."

"Also, we don't need to cooperate."

Without any hesitation, Yu Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave now."

Xu Jing looked at Yu Xiu in surprise. Didn't Yu Xiu say he wanted to cooperate with Shen Wen when he came earlier?

Why did you leave so suddenly?

Yu Xiu led the two away, and after they had gone some distance, Liu Tianming couldn't help but say, "Brother Xiu, if it really is Shen Wen, why not cooperate with him?"

"Besides, Zhang Yang is keeping an eye on him. There are only benefits and no drawbacks for them to cooperate with us."

Yu Xiu shook his head and said, "If their strength is slightly higher than ours, or about the same, then it's called cooperation."

"But they are much stronger than us. That's not cooperation, that's clinging to someone's coattails. Now they won't let us cling to them. If we don't leave, the next moment those spiked clubs will smash into our heads."

Liu Tianming shrank back, thinking of the size of the spiked club. "Brother Ke Xiu, tell me about your previous profession..."

"What are you saying? Zhang Yang even claimed to be the mayor of Long'an City. Leaving aside whether it's true or not, who would believe that? What's the point of saying it?"

Xu Jing remained silent. "So what do we do now? Find that NPC first, then go to the next location to investigate?"

"Well, if it doesn't work out, we don't necessarily have to complete these tasks. We can just find something in these villages and leave."

After Yu Xiu finished speaking, he sighed inwardly. He knew that if Shen Wen were there, things would be much easier for them.

But it was obvious that others were wary.

……

"That's a smart person."

Shen Wen saw that Yu Xiu had left cleanly and decisively with his men, without trying to argue or cause trouble by saying that everything is human.

Decisive. If you add his identity, it's no wonder he had the resources to buy minor attribute potions before. Plus, his talent must be pretty good.

With personality and ability combined, it would be strange if he didn't stand out.

"Let's see if there are any clues here."

Shen Wen spoke up, and the four women nodded. The five of them naturally headed to the place where the giant goblin had just emerged.

This giant goblin is clearly the leader of this village.

As soon as they entered the room, the five people's faces froze.

It was piled with junk, but everything was rotten beyond recognition.

Moreover, there were various rusty smells and fecal and urine smells, filling the room with a pungent odor.

Not only that, but the female corpses scattered all over the place had large holes beneath them and were covered in wounds, some even with bite marks.

And there was also a bunch of wriggling goblins, about the size of weasels, huddled together, at least twenty or thirty of them.

"Goblins should be extinct!"

Jiang Youchu almost vomited because the little goblins were making lewd gestures towards the dead female corpses.

Celia retorted angrily, "Goblins have no females, so they have to breed with other creatures, and they reproduce incredibly fast!"

"They are individually weak, but the kingdom sends out knightly orders to wipe them out every so often!"

"Therefore, these goblins won't leave the Greenskin Forest, and several villages have recently been ravaged by them!"

"This is why the kingdom needs warriors to find out why the goblins have gone berserk!"

Shen Wen also felt disgusted by it. He didn't have a good impression of goblins either, and even when he read doujinshi, he only read about normal humans.

Or rather, a succubus in human form.

In his eyes, the green-skinned people were of the same status as the black-skinned people, and even their behaviors were similar.

Shen Wen picked up the spiked club he had just obtained and smashed all the little goblins into "2D" form, like playing whack-a-mole.

At that moment, Celia also noticed something and exclaimed, covering her mouth, "That...it's Knight Kasha!"

Celia pointed to a corpse, half of its face missing. Su Qingxuan frowned and said, "Did the Knights die here?"

Celia quickly looked at the other corpses, but shook her head and said, "There is only Knight Kasha here."

Shen Wen looked at the nearly full Butcher advancement quests on the panel. Sure enough, the Butcher advancement quests were very easy to complete in the Green Forest.

Upon hearing Celia's words, he frowned slightly, "Could it be that the Knights encountered a giant goblin here, failed, and Knight Kasha was captured?"

"The other knights escaped? So there's only one corpse here?"

Celia's expression was no longer as relaxed as before, and she prayed for what Kasha had said.

"Looks like the mission won't be so easy to complete! We need to speed things up."

Shen Wen looked at Su Qingxuan and the others and said, "Let's take ten minutes to find out what we can easily take with us from this village."

"good!"

For the rest of the time, Celia heard that Shen Wen and the others were going to loot the spoils, so she prayed for Kasha outside.

Shen Wen and his group quickly searched for supplies in the goblin village, and it only took them a little over ten minutes.

The four gathered together, and Su Qingxuan shook his head, saying, "We only have some rudimentary weapons."

"Both small attribute potions are for constitution."

"There's only one blueprint for it, called the Goblin Spear, but it's just rotten wood."

Shen Wen took out a book on abilities and handed it to Jiang Youchu.

"This is a black iron-level ability book found in this room, called Frost Aura, which can imbue attacks with cold air."

"You should learn this. I'm going to use the long-range method." Jiang Youchu quickly shook her head.

"It doesn't say here that ice arrows can't be coated with cold air, so this should increase the power of your ice arrows."

Shen Wen handed the ability book to Jiang Youchu, which would at most increase his combat power by a little bit.

Jiang Youchu took the ability book, nodded vigorously, and even made the white rabbit sway. "I will work hard to become stronger!"

"It seems the biggest takeaway is completing the mission; we don't have much time left."

After searching through the area, Shen Wen realized that the biggest gain from this platform should come from the mission.

It seems they still have a mission to complete; their time is running out.
