Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

"What should I do?"

Peak gripped the flaming bow tightly, his brow furrowed.

"If we rashly start a raid without figuring out the situation, facing thousands of elite monsters of this level, our small group might be..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

With a group of dozens of players and a pack of wolves, they might be able to hold their own against a thousand ordinary goblins, but if they were to face thousands of elite monsters that knew how to cooperate and whose combat strength was unknown, even if the players could revive, they would most likely find themselves in a predicament of being repeatedly besieged and losing their equipment.

"Let's test the waters first."

Xu Tian made a decisive decision.

"Knowing yourself and your enemy is always better than blindly rushing in."

Who will go?

The wind and snow asked.

"I'll go."

Chen Xu took a step forward and patted the thick, frost-covered shield on his chest.

"Anyway, I'm an iron turtle, thick-skinned and tough, so even if I can't beat them, I can still run away."

He quickly and efficiently distributed all the miscellaneous items in his backpack, except for weapons, shields, armor, and several sets of blocks, to Xu Tian and the other two.

"I'll be right back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xu produced a diamond shovel and shoveled at the soft soil at his feet.

"Shhhhh!"

The soil was easily cut open, and a vertical passage that could only accommodate one person at a time was instantly formed.

Chen Xu leaped into the hole, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness, leaving only the opening above his head being constantly covered by fresh soil.

On the ground, Xu Tian, ​​Feng Xue, and Dian Feng immediately bent down, staring intently at the name representing Chen Xu.

Like a nimble groundhog, it slithered swiftly toward the heart of the goblin tribe.

"Old Cat, move a little to the left. There are fewer monsters around there, so it's less likely to startle them."

Xu Tian stared outside and gave instructions in a deep voice over the voice channel.

"Stop, stop, stop. There's a lone elite monster about three squares to your left. There are no other targets within ten meters. It's a good time to attack."

"understand".

Chen Xu responded.

"By the way, Old Cat."

Xu Tian suddenly remembered something.

"Let's start a live stream and let us see the combat data from a first-person perspective."

"Row".

Almost simultaneously, a live stream invitation pop-up appeared on the system interface of all online players.

[Player Old Cat has started a live battle stream. Do you want to watch?]

Players from other locations flocked to the site immediately upon hearing the news.

[Niu Niu: Holy crap? Old Cat's playing guerrilla warfare again? Where did he go this time?]

[Peak: Found the goblin lair, full of elite monsters. Old Cat is going there as a suicide squad to test the data.]

[Life is like a first encounter: Goblin lair? Found it so quickly?]

[Little Blackie: Are they all elite monsters?]

In the live broadcast, Chen Xu was seen wielding a diamond shovel, digging rapidly through a dimly lit underground tunnel.

The soil was as if it were nothing, and the speed of its movement was comparable to jogging on the ground.

"arrive".

Xu Tian's voice came through the audio.

"Right above your head, two squares above the ground."

Chen Xu stopped what he was doing and quickly expanded the surrounding space, digging out an underground fighting arena about five meters square and three meters high. He then reinforced the structure by placing several round stones on the four walls.

After doing all this, he took a deep breath, stood directly beneath the elite goblin, gripped the shovel handle tightly with both hands, and shoveled hard at the last clod of earth above his head.

"Splash".

The soil clods collapsed.

On the ground, the elite goblin that was dozing against the dead tree was suddenly awakened. It felt its feet sink into the ground, and before it could even cry out, its whole body crashed down with the rubble and dirt.

"boom!"

His body slammed solidly onto the hard stone floor below.

Chen Xu reacted swiftly, throwing out the round stone block almost the instant it landed, precisely sealing the hole above his head.

The entire basement was completely transformed into a closed dueling cage.

The goblin shook his head, still dizzy from the fall, and staggered to his feet, leaning on his spiked club.

When it saw the fully armed human with a menacing shield in front of it, its dark green pupils suddenly contracted, and then it erupted with overwhelming killing intent and violence.

"Damn humans, how dare they infiltrate our tribe."

It roared with intense hatred.

Before the words were even finished, it had already made its move.

The spiked club tore through the air with a whistling sound and slammed down hard on Chen Xu's skull.

Chapter 77 The Strict Goblin Father

"Good timing."

Instead of retreating, Chen Xu advanced, the massive shield shrouded in frost on his left arm suddenly rising to meet the attack head-on.

"clang!"

A deafening sound exploded in the enclosed underground space.

The spiked club slammed solidly into the shield, the immense impact causing Chen Xu's legs to buckle slightly.

But at the same time, the [Frostbite] enchantment on the shield was instantly triggered.

A chilling, bone-chilling cold spread wildly along the spiked club, freezing it into a crystal-clear icicle in the blink of an eye.

The ice layer rapidly eroded upwards, threatening to freeze the goblin's hands that were gripping the club handle.

"Ok?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the goblin's eyes; it was clear that it hadn't expected the human's defensive methods to be so bizarre.

It instinctively tried to pull back its weapon, but found that the staff was firmly locked in place by solid ice, and it was unable to break free for a moment.

The live stream channel immediately erupted in excitement.

[Peak: Beautiful! Frost Flow initiation and control, Old Cat is in the bag]

[Niu Niu: This elite monster is nothing special. Once it's controlled, it's just easy prey.]

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.

The goblin's eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity, and the dark green patterns under its skin lit up abruptly. A violent and corrosive wave of magical energy erupted from its body.

Green light surged wildly into the spiked club along its arms.

"Crack! Bang!"

The previously indestructible ice layer shattered after only half a second under the impact of this strange magic.

Countless ice shards flew out in all directions.

[Peak: Holy crap, this thing can break ice with magic?]

[NiuNiu: It's over, the Frost build has been countered, and Old Cat has been severely nerfed!]

[Early Morning: More Than Just Icebreaking, Look at Its Weapons]

Under the green light, the spiked club's surface was covered with dense, dark red patterns, faintly exuding a bloody aura, clearly imbued with magical effects.

"This is the first time I've encountered a monster that has both brains and magic."

Peak's voice was solemn in the voice chat.

"The previous ones were either clever melee fighters or fragile mages, but this thing is a hybrid of magic and martial arts."

Chen Xu felt a chill run down his spine.

But he was, after all, a seasoned veteran, and his reaction was extremely quick. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and he immediately let out a low shout.

"So what if the ice is broken? Let's try again."

Before his opponent could adjust their stance, he exerted force with his feet, charging forward like a bull, his shield thrusting forward as he unleashed [Shield Slam].

However, the goblin clearly realized how troublesome the heavy armor was, and stopped fighting head-on. Instead, it slid to the side and back in an unpredictable manner, narrowly avoiding the range of the shield bash. At the same time, it swept its spiked club horizontally to prevent the goblin from getting closer.

Their speed, skill, and combat awareness are far superior to those of ordinary goblins.

"Want to go?"

Chen Xu sneered and suddenly flicked his left hand.

"Whoosh!"

The grappling hook shot out and precisely gripped the goblin's muscular left shoulder.

"Come back here."

Chen Xu used his waist and abdomen to pull back forcefully.

Caught off guard, the goblin was dragged forward by the immense force.

Chen Xu had already drawn his longsword, which was enchanted with [Fire Enhancement], and brought it down with a scorching wave of air.
