Song Jian’s eyes flickered as he saw thousands of Earth Elementals within the Protection Black Mist, as well as Earth Elemental Bosses with tier one combat power, and even a Giant Earth Elemental Dragon sleeping inside?

“How is it possible? How did they appear here and why?” Song Jian asked in astonishment.

“Alliance Leader, you may not know that this black mist is actually a huge magic rune array, serving as the defense array for this city. These Earth Elementals are the guardian spirits of the city. As for the Earth Elemental Giant Dragon, it is actually just a Dragon Soul. The powerful creator of this magic rune array forcibly extracted the soul from a Giant Earth Dragon and integrated it into the array to become the array’s spirit!” the Goblin explained.

Song Jian was dumbfounded. This information was simply shocking. The person capable of creating this magic rune array was a figure so high above that Song Jian could only see their back.

“It’s simply unbelievable!” Song Jian shook his head and sighed.

“Yeah, the original owner of this city was one of the most powerful figures on the entire continent. But for some unknown reason, they left the city they personally built. As a result, the city was abandoned and eventually became a paradise for monsters,” the Goblin lamented. “Back then, this city was the most bustling city in the world. It’s a pity, sigh.”

“Alright, tell me how to get in first,” Song Jian asked after a long silence.

“It’s simple. As long as you have an item containing Earth Elemental energy, you can safely enter and exit the black mist. The Earth Elementals inside will not attack you as long as they sense the Earth Elemental aura on you,” the Goblin explained, taking out a fist-sized stone ball from his pocket and showing it to Song Jian. “This is an Earth Spirit Bead. Wear it, and your aura will be covered by Earth Elemental energy. The higher the grade of the Earth Spirit Bead, the greater the area it covers. This one can cover a radius of six meters, enough for me and my Thunder Lizard to pass through freely. If it’s any bigger, it won’t work. Once you’re outside the coverage of the Earth Spirit Bead, the guards inside will initiate an attack.”

Song Jian nodded. The function of the Earth Spirit Bead was similar to that of the Concealment Ring. The Concealment Ring would mask all auras, making it seem invisible, while the Earth Spirit Bead would cover one’s aura with Earth Elemental energy, causing the Earth Elementals to mistake them for their kind.

Though the items were different, their principles and effects were similar.

“How much for this Earth Spirit Bead? I’ll buy it!” Song Jian said.

“Sorry, I only have this one. If I don’t have it, I won’t be able to enter and leave this city freely in the future. So I can’t sell it to you,” the Goblin shook his head and said. “Besides, I can’t take you in. The Thunder Lizard’s size is too large. If I bring you along, our aura may be easily exposed, which is too dangerous.”

This Earth Spirit Bead was actually a treasure passed down through the Goblin’s family for hundreds of years. It was thanks to this bead that the Goblin’s family had been able to travel between Doomsday City and the City of Hope, engaging in smuggling activities for a long time, though Doomsday City had not been called by that name in the beginning.

After the monsters occupied the city, the Goblin’s family gradually declined. It wasn’t until the recent arrival of the chosen ones that the Goblin saw a business opportunity, took out the Earth Spirit Bead, and resumed the smuggling business of their ancestors.

“If I can’t go back, then I won’t be able to give you the shop. After all, the transfer procedures for the shop must be personally approved by me,” Song Jian smiled and said.

Goblin: “…”

“Alliance Leader, rest assured, since I’ve told you this method, I will naturally help you obtain an Earth Spirit Bead,” the Goblin hurriedly said. “Since this magic rune array contains rich Earth Elemental energy, many Earth Elementals have been bred around it. By killing these Earth Elementals, you may potentially obtain Earth Spirit Beads.”

“You mean, you want me to kill these Earth Elementals to get an Earth Spirit Bead?” Song Jian raised an eyebrow and asked.

“Yes, you can go and kill these Earth Elementals. They are all level 30 monsters and shouldn’t be too difficult for you,” the Goblin nodded and said.

This Goblin was already at level 35, but his combat abilities were extremely poor. The skills he usually learned were mostly related to concealment, escape, and business. It could be said that he had no combat power at all.

“You don’t have any combat power, yet you dare to venture alone into Doomsday City for trade?” Song Jian looked at him with a surprised expression.

It was well known that the outside world in the game was a hundred or even a thousand times more dangerous than the cities. Goblins were also one of the most timid races. Could it be that this Goblin was a rare talent with astounding courage among the Goblin race?

“Hehe, my Thunder Lizard will eliminate anyone who has ill intentions towards me!” The Goblin patted his mount with a smile on his face.

“Thunder Lizard?” Song Jian narrowed his eyes. It was at this moment that he noticed the huge Thunder Lizard was actually an elite Boss with tier one combat power and had reached level 35.

Song Jian nodded slightly. A level 35 elite Boss with tier one combat power would be hard-pressed for nearby monsters to target.

“Alright, you go in first. I’ll go get an Earth Spirit Bead. As for the shop, you can find me at the Alliance headquarters once I return,” said Song Jian as he nodded and walked in the direction the Goblin pointed.

Watching Song Jian’s figure disappear, the Goblin muttered to himself: “It’s extremely difficult for ordinary Earth Elementals to drop Earth Spirit Beads. The probability is perhaps one in ten thousand or even one in one hundred thousand. Only the Earth Elemental Lord Bosses with tier one combat power have a higher chance of dropping Earth Spirit Beads. However, even my Thunder Lizard is no match for them. I’m afraid… ”

With some regret, the Goblin shook his head and thought, “It seems that there’s no hope for the City of Hope Alliance’s shop. If he finds out I didn’t tell the truth, I wonder if he’ll ban me from entering his Alliance territory in the future.”

“I’d better sell off these goods as soon as possible and close up shop for a while to see how things turn out. Alas, business is getting harder and harder,” the Goblin muttered to himself while riding the Thunder Lizard toward the rolling black mist. In no time, he vanished into the mist without a trace.
