Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

The 6th layer of the Earth's core, a certain space in the Earth's core.

The campfire blazed brightly, illuminating dozens of low, coarse cloth tents.

Several wooden totem poles were stuck between the tents, with dried animal bones hanging on them.

Kobold tribe.

Three kobold warriors patrolled the outskirts of the tribe.

They were smaller and less well-equipped than their counterparts in the Guardian's Realm.

He gripped a rusty weapon in his hand, scanning the darkness warily.

Suddenly, the sound of several sharp weapons piercing the air rang out.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Three crossbow bolts shot out from the darkness, piercing the bodies of two kobolds.

-64! -71! -68!

One of the kobolds died on the spot without even letting out a scream.

Immediately afterwards, a fiery red afterimage darted out from the direction from which the crossbow bolt had been fired.

Flame Spirit's figure flashed between the other two kobolds.

The long tail of swirling flames, like an iron whip, lashed them away.

After confirming there were no survivors, Flame Spirit flicked the sparks off its tail and meowed.

Lin You stepped out of the shadows, put away his crossbow, and patted Yan Ling's head.

"Much weaker than the kobold warriors in the Watcher's Rift."

He casually flipped over a kobold corpse and examined it closely.

……

【Kobold Warrior】

[Level: 7]

Life: 0/80 (Dead)

[Defense: 8]

[Skill: Brutal Strike]

……

"Only 80 health points, no wonder it's so fragile."

Lin You turned the corpse into a magic card and looked up at the tribal camp not far away.

Two wooden stakes stood at the entrance to the camp, with dirty flags hanging on them.

The flag features a ferocious dog's head with bared fangs.

"Time to get to work."

With a thought, he summoned nearly a hundred skeleton soldiers and zombies from the Magic Card Encyclopedia.

"Charge in and clear a path for me."

We've been fighting the undead invasion for so many days.

Lin You's card collection contains nearly four figures of undead cards!

It's no exaggeration to say that he's now a walking undead plague!

The undead made no attempt to conceal their presence as they stormed into the tribal camp.

Soon, the sounds of kobolds barking and fighting filled the camp.

Although the skeleton soldiers and zombies summoned by Lin You were of a much lower level than the kobolds in the sixth level of the Earth's core.

However, given their overwhelming numerical advantage, this difference is negligible.

What's more, Lin You was also there to shoot arrows from behind.

The elemental crossbow bolts, infused with magic, can blast several kobolds to pieces with a single shot!

One, two, three...

The kobolds in the tribe fell in droves.

They are individually quite strong, and they also cooperate with each other.

This could be very tricky for the average player.

But for Lin You, it was no different from mowing the grass.

Less than ten minutes.

The kobolds surrounding the camp were all cleared out.

Lin You walked deeper into the camp and his gaze fell on the largest tent.

Two dog-headed men, noticeably larger, stood at the entrance of the tent.

Behind them, a familiar figure slowly walked out.

Kobold Shaman.

Its attire was identical to that of its counterparts in the Guardian's Realm: a fur cloak and a wooden staff.

But there were two figures beside him that were different from the ones he had seen before.

They were thinner and held short bows made of bones and tendons.

Several woven bags hung from his waist, from which came the sound of metal clanging.

"A new breed of kobolds?"

Lin You narrowed his eyes, sizing up the enemy before him.

……

【Kobold Hunter】

[Level: 7]

【Life: 120】

[Defense: 10]

[Skills: Marked Shot, Throwing Hunting Net]

[Weaknesses: Relatively weak in close combat; limited number of hunting nets available]

……

Before Lin You could continue observing, the two hunters had already raised their short bows.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two arrows were shot and hit him squarely in the chest.

Then it was deflected by an invisible barrier, the arrow twirled in the air a few times, and fell to the ground.

[Magic Barrier in effect!]

[35 points of damage were negated by magic]

[33 points of damage were negated by magic]

[You have been "marked," increasing your chance of being critically hit by 10%]

"Good accuracy, and the damage isn't low either..."

Lin You raised an eyebrow and retaliated with his crossbow.

Elemental Strike: Flame Blast!

The crossbow bolts, wreathed in flames, flew out and exploded among the hunters.

The flames engulfed the two hunters; they didn't even have time to fire a second arrow before they were reduced to ashes.

Upon seeing this, the kobold shaman immediately raised his staff.

But it had only sung halfway through its song when a fiery red figure pounced on it.

Claw Strike! Fiery Tail Whip!

-87! -112!

After these days of battle, Flame Spirit's level has been raised to level 8.

Although no new skills were learned, all attributes increased across the board.

The shaman's health points instantly dropped to zero, and he collapsed to the ground.

This kobold shaman only has around 200 health.

They are far inferior to their counterparts in the Guardian's Secret Realm.

Furthermore, it lacks the powerful defensive skill, Magic Barrier.

Lin You finished off with an arrow, ending the battle completely.

"Too weak."

He shook his head and turned the corpse into a magic card.

Including the warriors on the periphery, a total of 34 Kobolds & Catacombs cards were obtained on this trip.

Although the quality is not as high as that produced in the Warden's Rift, the quantity is plentiful.

Lin You surveyed the camp and began searching for treasure.

Inside the tent, they found some loose copper coins and food, of little value.

He walked to the largest campfire in the center of the camp.

There's a big pot sitting here, with some kind of soup bubbling inside.

The flames at the bottom of the pot reflected a dark red metallic sheen.

"Um?"

Lin You crouched down and observed carefully.

It seemed that a stone slab was pressing down on the bottom of the pot.

"Go, move it away from me."

Lin You summoned several kobold miners and gave them orders.

The dog-headed men used their strength to move the pot aside, revealing a square stone slab.

After prying open the stone slab, there was a shallow pit underneath.

There was a treasure chest covered in mud in the pit.

"Found it!"

Lin You's face lit up with joy. The treasure chest wasn't locked, so he simply lifted the lid.

A soft golden light illuminated his face.

The box contained neatly stacked gold ingots.

You have found the buried treasure and obtained 99 gold ingots.

The "Unknown Treasure Map" has been used up.

"Ninety-nine gold ingots... I'm rich!"

Seeing the prompt in front of him, Lin You couldn't stop smiling.

99 gold ingots, rounded up, equals 100.

If you want to smelt it, you'll need a full 300 pieces of gold ore!

Even if gold starts to appear in the sixth layer of the Earth's core, it will only be scattered.

I wonder how long it would take to mine 300 gold ore!

"Cheng Yan, Cheng Yan, you've really given me a wonderful gift."

Lin You happily put the gold ingots into his backpack and had the kobold carry them back to the Gold Prospector.

"Let's go back."

Lin You clapped her hands, preparing to leave.

Flame Spirit suddenly stopped, sniffed, and looked in a certain direction at the edge of the tribe.

"Meow!"

"What's wrong?"

Lin You followed its gaze.

It was an unremarkable tent, more dilapidated than the others.

There were several damaged iron cages outside, clearly prison cells used for holding prisoners.

Lin You walked over, lifted the dirty curtain, and was slightly taken aback by what he saw inside.

Inside a locked cage, a figure was huddled up.

He wasn't tall, but he was sturdy.

His long, white beard hung haphazardly over his chest.

Because of the coma, no other features can be observed.

The only thing that's certain is that he's not a kobold.

"Still alive?"

Lin You squatted down and reached out to check his breath.

He's still alive, but he's unconscious.

He had several marks on his body, probably from being whipped.

"He looks like a dwarf. How did he get locked up here?"

Just as Lin You was wondering, a message suddenly popped up in front of her.

[Additional information: Dwarves are a relatively friendly neutral race in the Netherworld.]

Dwarves excel at blacksmithing and mining; if your reputation level is high enough, you can purchase high-quality weapons and armor in various dwarven towns.

"Reputation levels... I think I understand now."

Lin You touched her chin thoughtfully.

A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

There are still many painful memories.

For example, the legendary archer, using someone else to do the dirty work, conquering cities and seizing territories...

"Let's take him back to the Gold Miner first."
