The demon monk in the second dimension

In the Five Elements theory, which is based on the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, white bones can be directly represented by "metal".

Under the forging of divine sense during the tribulation stage, the magic weapon took shape very quickly.

The main element is "Gold" representing the Goblin King and Goblin Heroes, with the remaining elements of Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth as secondary elements.

Countless goblin skeletons, large and small, some still dripping with blood, were kneaded into a single mass by Xia Zhi.

Every second, more than three spells were cast into it, like a hammer pounding an iron blank, driven by the goblin's soul, slowly changing the shape of the goblin skull block.

Ten breaths later, Xia Zhi infused it with thirty-six incantations, and at the same time, the White Bone Banner gradually took shape.

This white bone banner is about seven feet long and two feet wide. It is pure white and has a simple design.

At first glance, it looks unremarkable; there isn't even the slightest depiction on the white bone banner.

This is the embryonic form of the White Bone Banner magic treasure. It is generally only qualified to be forged by Golden Core stage cultivators. It is a magic treasure with the potential for growth, waiting for its master to outline its design.

Because the Summer Solstice is specifically based on the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as long as more materials of the five elements are added later to modify the White Bone Banner, the output of mana is sufficient, and the corpse has the corresponding attributes, it is possible to summon skeleton soldiers with the five elements attributes.

Despite the numerous limitations, their combat effectiveness is significantly greater than that of ordinary skeleton soldiers.

It's a pity that forging the White Bone Banner requires the bones and souls to be included. Otherwise, so many goblin souls would be enough for Xia Zhi to advance to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Finally, Xia Zhi's primordial spirit captured his physical body, took out a drop of his heart's blood, mixed it with his divine consciousness, and dripped it into the White Bone Banner.

This is recognizing the Lord, imbuing the white bone banner with spirituality.

Soon, in the darkness, Xia Zhi could feel his primordial spirit connecting with the white bone banner.

His primordial spirit re-entered this body from the Niwan Palace, and he immediately felt extremely weak.

Clutching her head, Xia Zhi felt waves of dizziness.

He staggered a couple of steps, using the white bone banner to keep from falling, and slowly sat down.

"I was too optimistic about the injury to my primordial spirit. I'll need to rest for at least ten days to half a month now."

Xia Zhi rubbed her aching temples, took out a water pouch and wheat cakes from her bag and ate them, her face pale.

"Fortunately, the White Bone Banner has been forged. As long as I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will have a little bit of self-protection."

A false sense of self-preservation: killing goblins is like slaughtering dogs.

True self-preservation ability: Slaying goblins is as easy as slaughtering dogs.

Xia Zhi devoured all the wheat cakes and dried meat she had brought, drank three bottles of recovery potions worth one gold coin each, and ate a lot of roasted venison that the goblins hadn't eaten before activating her Soul Devouring Technique to quickly convert the food into true energy.

Having lost a drop of his heart's blood and stimulated his primordial spirit for a while longer, he now felt dizzy and disoriented, just like an ordinary person with a severe cold.

After resting for more than two hours, Xia Zhi regained some of her mobility.

He chanted an incantation, and the white bone banner rapidly transformed, shrinking to the size of a fingernail, which Xia Zhi held under her tongue.

He fed each of the three women a bottle of healing potion, shared some venison with them, and gave them three pieces of cloth to cover themselves before leading them out of the goblin's lair.

……

This time, Xia Zhi rested for a full half month after returning to the ranch.

The Adventurers' Guild members thought something had happened to Xia Zhiren since they hadn't seen him for half a month.

The saleswoman learned from the cowgirl that Xia Zhi was injured and asked her to deliver flowers and fruit.

Two weeks later, Xia Zhi set off again.

Although the cow girl was worried, she couldn't stop it and could only wait for the summer solstice to return in the pasture as usual.

jingle!

As Xia Zhi pushed open the doors of the Adventurers' Guild, the bells hanging at the entrance rang out crisply.

Under the counter lady's surprised gaze, he approached the counter and asked her.

"Any quests related to goblins?"

Looking at Xia Zhi, the adventurer beside him said with a smile.

"I was wondering why something felt missing lately, turns out it's Goblin Slayer!"

"It's been twenty days, hasn't it? He still hasn't shown up. I thought he'd been killed by the goblins. Hahaha!"

"Yo Goblin Slayer, long time no see."

Upon seeing the summer solstice, the dwarf sorcerer, the elven archer, and the lizardman monk all approached.

Xia Zhi nodded to the three of them.

"Well, long time no see."

At this moment, the clerk took out a service form and said to Xia Zhi with a smile.

"There's a quest about goblins, and it's specifically for you."

Upon hearing this, the dwarf warlock laughed.

"Heh heh, just like us?"

The elven archers also became interested.

"Can I ask what kind of mission it is?"

"This one……"

The saleswoman hesitated for a moment, then saw Xia Zhi nod slightly.

"Go ahead."

"Ah."

Upon seeing this, the counter staff did as instructed.

"This is a request from the City of Water, and the reward is fifty gold coins per person."

"Fifty gold coins?"

Upon hearing the price, the other adventurers immediately turned their heads.

"It's that tall?"

In the Adventurers' Guild, the reward for killing an ogre is only three or four gold coins.

They're just goblins, yet they're comparable to more than ten ogres!

Immediately, some people couldn't sit still.

Several bronze-level adventurers stood up and shouted at Xia Zhi.

"Hey Goblin Slayer, take me with you!"

"Let's all make money together!"

"With so many gold coins, you must have a lot of goblins to deal with. You'll need some help, won't you?"

"As for helpers, we have enough!"

The elven archer put his arm around Xia Zhi's shoulder and deliberately showed off his silver-rank adventurer badge.

"dont you agree?"

The lizardman monk and the dwarf sorcerer then spoke.

"This humble monk will also be going."

"Haha, then let's add me, a magic user, to the list!"

Three silver-ranked adventurers stepped forward, and the adventurers who had been itching to make a move immediately fell silent.

Although she didn't need companions, or rather, it would be best to go alone, Xia Zhi nodded when she saw the three of them coming to her rescue.

"Then let's go together."

Chapter 20 Water City

The situation in Water 7 is complicated; it's not simply a matter of goblins causing trouble, but rather the work of the Demon King.

He secretly dispatched his men to place a teleportation mirror in the sewers of Water City, allowing his army to teleport directly to Water City and breach this heartland of the human kingdom.

On the surface, the sewers are occupied by a goblin tribe led by a goblin hero.

In reality, the goblins were just bait.

The crucial teleportation mirror is guarded by a bewitching beetle.

Once the war has deteriorated, the Demon King will lead his army to attack and occupy the Water City.

Goblins have never been taken seriously, so there's no need to worry about an army suddenly coming to wipe them out.

Ordinary adventurers are no match for the Eye Demon, and even escaping is difficult.

But what the Demon King didn't expect was that his plan to use goblins as a cover would backfire unexpectedly.

The guardian of the Water City is the Sword Saintess.

The Archbishop of the Supreme Temple, one of the adventurers who once defeated the Demon King, and a Gold-ranked adventurer of the second tier in the adventurer hierarchy.

For an adventurer of this caliber, killing a goblin hero is just a matter of a few sword strikes.

But more than ten years ago, when the Sword Saintess had just debuted, she was ambushed and knocked unconscious by a goblin from behind.

She was taken back to the goblin's lair and subjected to three days of defilement, violation, abuse, and torture, even her eyes were burned off by torches.

Although she was fortunate enough to be rescued by adventurers, she developed goblin phobia as a result.

Not only do they feel weak and powerless when facing goblins, but they also dream of those nightmarish three days when they go to sleep at night, waking up in terror.

In other words, goblins have a 10000% special attack against the Sword Maiden.

If the Sword Saintess were to personally go and fight, it would probably turn into an indescribable blockbuster with explicit sexual content.

If they had known that the Sword Saintess was no match for goblins, the Demon King would probably have already led his army to attack.

In an effort to eliminate the goblin tribe that had taken up residence here, the Sword Maiden sought out many adventurers, but none of them returned alive.

To prevent goblins from committing crimes, the Sword Maiden had no choice but to release "swamp dragons" into the sewers.

Meanwhile, she heard about the existence of the "Goblin Slayer" from the bard's poems. She immediately made a request to the Adventurers' Guild to hire this Goblin Slayer.

Sitting in the carriage on the way to the Water City, Xia Zhi closed her eyes to rest and ponder her next move.

The Supreme Temple exists in the Water City, and the Sword Saintess is the Archbishop of the Supreme God. It's hard to say that the Supreme God wouldn't cast his gaze upon her.

If Xia Laomo were at his peak, it wouldn't be a problem for him to fight these gods.

But right now, he's a novice cultivator who isn't even at the Foundation Establishment stage, and has no magic power in his body, only true qi.

Let alone a god. Even the Sword Saintess might not be able to defeat him in a real fight without the White Bone Banner.

In places like this, the White Bone Banner cannot be used, and it's best not to use the Soul Devouring Technique either. Just treat yourself as an ordinary goblin slayer.

Therefore, it is still necessary to have teammates.

Upon arriving at the Supreme Temple, Xia Zhi curiously observed the otherworldly temple's unique atmosphere, and at the same time, she met her client, the Sword Saintess, in the main hall.

Although the Supreme God Archbishop held a prestigious position, the others present were no less so.

The elven archer is the sister of the elven queen, and lizardman monks and dwarven sorcerers also play important roles in the race.

Inside the temple, the Water Saintess recounted the events of the past month.

At first, when crimes such as theft, child abduction, and murder occurred in Water City, they initially thought it was the work of adventurers.

Later, an adventurer killed the perpetrator on the spot and finally realized that the other party was a goblin!

In addition to strengthening security in Water City, the Sword Maiden has also invited several adventurer teams from Water City to enter the sewers to hunt down goblins.

However, the Water City is located in the heart of the human kingdom, and the quality of its adventurers is not as good as that of those on the border.

None of the adventurers who went into the sewers returned.

"This is a map of the initial construction of the sewer system."

The Sword Saintess, with her flowing blonde hair and a figure as voluptuous as an hourglass, unfolded the map.

"Although it has been renovated over the years, the general location has not been changed."

She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her expression sorrowful and fragile, and pleaded with Xia Zhi and her group.
