Chapter 4 Midday Dungeon Challenge
Unlike yesterday, Lu Qingfeng got up early, went out to buy breakfast, and then cleaned his bookstore in preparation for opening for business.
Yesterday's events were entirely accidental.
The shop assistant is on leave, and I, as the shop manager, am too lazy to open the shop, but that can't be the case today.
After all, even though I don't rely on this for a living, I still have to protect the legacy left by my parents.
As for the daily dungeons, they were open as soon as I woke up this morning.
The Goblin Plague:
Dungeon Type: Daily Challenge (No Death Penalty)
Instance Description: A group of roaming goblins have taken over the cave, and your goal is to kill them all.
Dungeon Monsters: 5 Beginner Goblins
Dungeon Rewards: 100 Disaster Coins from the Comprehensive Network, random low-level items (white or green)
Dungeon Difficulty: Easy
Dungeon Level: 1+
Start the challenge? [Yes/No]
"Is the reward increased slightly because it's a daily challenge?"
Besides, aren't goblins the standard grunts in Western fantasy?
Furthermore, daily dungeons are not necessarily difficult.
That's what he thought, but Lu Qingfeng didn't immediately start the challenge.
Instead, they took down the "Closed" sign at the entrance, opened the bookstore doors, and began their day's business.
…………
At noon, Mr. Lu, who had been working hard all morning (not really), began his lunch.
After lunch, they retrieved the Miaomiao props from the courier station.
You have eaten once, resulting in a slight improvement in your Qi and blood.
Based on yesterday's dungeon run experience, a dungeon run might only take one second in the real world, so Master Lu has plenty of time to run a dungeon at noon.
Once fully dressed, Lu Qingfeng picked up the Miaomiao Tool No. 2 and began today's challenge.
【Yes】
[Teleportation Initiated]
The teleportation ended, and Lu Qingfeng instantly found himself in a dark and narrow cave.
A strong earthy and sour smell wafted over, with only a few rays of light filtering through the cracks in the cave walls.
"Woo-woo-ga!"
"Giggle!"
Sharp, eerie screams rang out almost simultaneously!
Five small goblins sprang out from the shadows of the rocks, brandishing crude stone axes and wooden spears, and charged menacingly from different directions!
Goblin!
Lu Qingfeng's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously gripped the fire axe tighter.
In fantasy stories, goblins have weaknesses that are not much different from those of humans.
So he chose to go straight forward and swung his axe at the first goblin that charged at him.
Whether it was due to low intelligence or some other reason, the goblin charged straight at the axe blade.
"Pfft!"
The sharp fire axe cleaved through the goblin's fragile flesh and bones without any resistance, and filthy green blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted out!
The goblin didn't even have time to let out a proper scream before it was cleaved away like a broken sack, crashing heavily against the cave wall. It twitched a couple of times and then lay still.
One kill!
However, solving one problem did not make Lu Qingfeng feel any relief.
The cries of the other four goblins grew even sharper, and two of them fearlessly charged forward from the front, swinging their rough stone axes at his head, face, and calves!
The other two cunningly circled around to the side, attempting to attack his ribs and lower back!
A violent force surged through his blood, but having learned his lesson once, Lu Qingfeng did not abandon his defenses and confront the beast head-on as he had when facing the wild boar.
He let out a low growl and leaped back half a step, narrowly avoiding the stone axe that was about to smash into his head.
At the same time, his left hand swiftly pulled a bag from the inside pocket of his tactical vest and slammed it into the face of another goblin charging at him!
"puff!"
It's a packet of quicklime powder!
The lime powder exploded instantly upon impact, and the white powder spread like smoke, precisely covering the goblin's head and face!
"Awooooo!!"
A heart-wrenching, distorted scream echoed throughout the cave!
The goblin, whose eyes were burned by the lime, instantly lost his sense of direction, painfully threw away his stone axe, and frantically scratched his face with both hands.
One frontal threat has been temporarily eliminated, but an attack from the flank is imminent!
A goblin's wooden spear stabbed fiercely into Lu Qingfeng's right ribs, while another crouched down and chopped at his ankle with a stone axe!
"snort!"
Lu Qingfeng grunted, the danger warning brought by his perception attribute made him react instinctively.
He did not attempt to completely evade the attack from both sides, which would have been nearly impossible in the confined space.
He chose to withstand the attack on his foot, shifting his weight sharply to the left and forward, while simultaneously changing the fire axe from a chopping motion to a sweeping motion!
"clang!"
The heavy fire axe swept across, striking precisely the middle of the shaft of the incoming wooden spear!
The immense force smashed the wooden spear in two! The goblin wielding the spear was thrown back.
But at the same time, a muffled thud was heard.
The goblin that flanked behind struck the heavy steel plate under the tactical vest with its stone axe!
Although the steel plate blocked the axe blade, the enormous impact still caused Lu Qingfeng's right leg to go numb and throb with excruciating pain, making his body sway involuntarily.
"Damn it!"
A fierce glint flashed in Lu Qingfeng's eyes.
The power of violence was ignited by the pain, transforming into an even more ferocious killing intent.
Using the momentum of his swaying body, he spun around, and the fire axe, with a tearing sound, swung back and swept towards the goblin who had chopped his ankle with even greater force!
"Snap!"
The tainted blood spurted out again!
The goblin that launched the sneak attack was cut in half at the waist, its upper body flying out with an incredulous expression, while its lower body remained convulsing in place.
The two remaining goblins—one was still screaming and rolling around in pain, clutching his face, and the other was still in shock after his wooden spear was smashed.
For the first time, the emotion called fear was clearly reflected in their scarlet little eyes.
The strength and ferocity of this human being before them far exceeded their imagination!
Without pausing, Lu Qingfeng pounced like a tiger, rushing to the goblin who had broken his spear and was trying to retreat in just two steps.
The fire axe in his hand transformed into a cold arc of light, descending from above with terrifying power and an unyielding will to crush everything!
"puff--!"
Before the goblin could even parry, its head exploded like a ripe watermelon!
The foul-smelling brain matter and blood splattered all over Lu Qingfeng's face, but he wiped it off without a care.
The cold gaze locked onto the last goblin in the corner of the cave, still howling and rolling around, covered in lime powder.
There was no pity, no hesitation.
He dragged his slightly stinging right leg and walked over step by step.
"it's over."
The cold words were accompanied by an even colder axe blade falling.
"Uh-huh..."
The final sob was cut off.
The cave fell silent instantly, with only Lu Qingfeng's heavy breathing and the thick, pungent smell of blood remaining.
Five goblin corpses lay on the ground, each in a different manner of death, with filthy blood meandering across the surface.
As his tense nerves relaxed slightly, the sharp pain in his right ankle and chest, where he had just withstood the attack, became clearer.
He looked down and checked; there was a dent in the steel plate on the front of his tactical vest, and he felt a dull pain in his chest, but his bones should be fine.
The spot on my ankle where the stone axe struck through the steel plate is swollen and my movement is restricted, but I can still support myself.
Compared to the pain of having my ribs broken by a wild boar yesterday, this is considered a minor injury.
