I summon the heroic spirits of China in the infinite world.

What appeared before dawn was a small mountain range, the bare rocky mountains looking somewhat lifeless.

At a glance, you can see the entrance to the cave leading to your destination.

The cave entrance was littered with the remains of various unidentified creatures.

Just like yesterday, he first used the tactic of luring the snake out of its hole.

Place the Stone Monkey in front of the cave entrance, then have 3 Heroic Spirits ambush on the side of the cave entrance.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Sure enough, a short while later, an ugly goblin carrying a small dagger cautiously peeked out.

【Thief, prepare to die!】

[First item up for auction!]

Me too!

The three heroes of Taoyuan swung their weapons almost simultaneously, instantly killing the monster.

"Relax and easy."

Li Ming raised an eyebrow.

Although there is an extra experience point from [Liu Bei], the extra attack power is enough to kill the monster instantly, leaving it unable to retaliate.

It improves both efficiency and security.

After waiting at the cave entrance for an hour, they had almost wiped out as many goblins as they had the previous night.

"As expected, taking the initiative is much more efficient than sitting idly in the camp."

Li Ming believed he had found the right direction.

If the surrounding monsters were allowed to collectively attack the camp on the day of the cataclysm, I'm afraid no new summoner in this dungeon would be able to withstand it.

However, if the battle is prolonged, the situation becomes entirely different.

Actively eliminating monsters can reduce the defensive pressure on the day of the great calamity and also increase the level of heroic spirits, making them better prepared for the arrival of the great calamity.

Moreover, one's own territory is immune to the effects of earthquakes.

If he continues to develop, he might just encounter a major disaster.

Just then, a notification appeared on the panel.

Guan Yu's level has been increased to LV2.

The Heroic Spirit's attributes have been improved.

You can now choose the Spirit Trait for it.

"Spiritual characteristics..."

Li Ming's expression turned slightly serious.

The characteristics of a Heroic Spirit's essence largely determine its future development direction and potential.

He was now presented with three choices.

【Lone Warrior - Trait】: Does not accept external healing effects, attacks have a 10% lifesteal effect.

This trait is a Breakthrough type and requires 100 Breakthrough Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

[Air Blade - Trait]: Gains ranged attack ability, but attack power is reduced by 50% when releasing a ranged attack.

This trait is a Breakthrough type and requires 100 Breakthrough Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

[Lingheng - Trait]: Increases all attributes by 3%.

This trait is of the Balance type and requires 100 Balance Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

"The characteristics of a spirit are generally divided into seven major systems."

"The 'Broken Force' system refers to Heroic Spirits gaining energy through attacks, which can then be used to unleash active skills."

"The Balanced type refers to Servants who cannot gain active skill modifiers later on, but will be enhanced in other aspects."

Dawn analyzed the three options.

Each of these three options has its own advantages and disadvantages, but the one that is most effective and versatile is undoubtedly [Lingheng].

Because Guan Yu needs to be upgraded to at least Tier 2 to gain an active skill.

I don't currently meet the requirements for promoting a Heroic Spirit; I need the corresponding materials.

But he cannot only consider the present; he must take a long-term perspective.

This +3% to all attributes isn't that appealing.

Therefore, Lingheng is a pass.

The ranged attack of [Air Blade] is very useful. It can be used to deal with air units, or to whittle down enemies without taking damage before they get close.

【Lone Warrior】 comes with life steal, making it very suitable for solo combat.

Moreover, even if one does not accept external healing effects, the fact that [Liu Bei] provides life points sharing can negate this drawback.

Guan Yu will not accept restoration, but Liu Bei and Zhang Fei can surely accept it.

Therefore, he is more inclined to favor these two characteristics of breaking through.

"However, I don't have any Breaking Stones, so it seems I'll have to put this on hold for now."

Dawn was slightly disappointed.

Breaking Stones are a special resource that can be obtained through mining or drops from monsters.

As Guan Yu is upgraded to LV2, his attack power is significantly enhanced.

Goblins that couldn't be killed in one hit before can now be killed instantly.

However, in order to allow other heroic spirits to also receive some experience points, Dawn temporarily stopped Guan Yu from participating in the battle.

With this allocation, Zhang Fei quickly reached LV2.

Zhang Fei's level has been increased to LV2.

The Heroic Spirit's attributes have been improved.

You can now choose the Spirit Trait for it.

Similarly, three options appear.

[Lone Warrior - Trait]: Immune to external healing effects, maximum health +30%.

This trait is of the Berserk type and requires 100 Berserk Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

[Air Blade - Trait]: Gains ranged attack ability, but consumes 10% of maximum health when releasing a ranged attack.

This trait is of the Berserk type and requires 100 Berserk Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

[Blood Rage - Trait]: For every 1% decrease in current health, attack power increases by 1%.

This trait is of the Berserk type and requires 100 Berserk Stones and 500 Cubic Coins to unlock.

"Berserk Essence is a skill that is unleashed by consuming one's own health points."

"It seems that even the same essence will produce different effects if they belong to different elements."

Dawn also lacked a Berserker Stone, so it had to be set aside for the time being.

Since the essence ability cannot be activated for the time being, the only way to increase combat power is to level up.

So after both main damage dealers reached LV2, he stopped restricting the formation and let Guan Yu rejoin the team.

I stayed at the cave entrance for about 3 hours, and after I had farmed half of Liu Bei's LV1 experience points, not a single goblin appeared again.

Dawn knew that this was probably not all the goblins in the cave, because he had not yet seen the goblin archers that the straw man had mentioned.

"Let's go in and take a look."

He temporarily put the stone monkey away.

He had Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lead the way, while Liu Bei brought up the rear, protecting himself in the middle of the formation.

If you encounter a ranged enemy, quickly release the [Stone Monkey] to hide behind it.

Although the cave was pitch black, the light emitted by the heroic spirits themselves was enough to serve as a source of light.

With the help of this light, dawn began to carefully examine the interior structure of the cave.

It is worth noting that there are pits and craters of various sizes on the cave walls, with obvious signs of excavation.

In addition, the occasional wooden support frame he encountered helped him form a judgment.

The dungeon world can produce some resources that summoners need, and some summoners specialize in finding and developing these resources.

"It seems this used to be a mine, but it's been abandoned for a long time and probably has no value for mining."

"I wonder if there's a boss inside."

Compared to the cave's predecessor, Dawn was more concerned with this issue.

Bosses provide more experience points and a higher item drop rate.

Perhaps, it can even unlock a milestone for myself.
