Yi Tianchen's mind flashed with countless thoughts, both good and bad.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared before Yi Tianchen, and he was thrown out of the cave. In an instant, seven people tumbled in all directions, groaning in pain!
However, since they were all on the same team, they couldn't harm each other. So, the one at the bottom, Hero Does Not Question Origin, was not crushed to death.
But it was definitely uncomfortable!
Upon closer inspection, he found himself facing a rock wall. Two meters above him was a cave opening with a radius of one meter, which was the passage they had been thrown out of. At that moment, a loud clanging echoed from the passage, the sound of weapons violently scraping against the rocks.
Soon, a message from Liu Yuhan popped up in Yi Tianchen's private chat: "Catch me!"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback, nearly moved to tears; this girl had lost her mind!
In that fleeting moment, accompanied by a startled cry, Liu Yuhan's beautiful figure was thrown out. Yi Tianchen focused his gaze and saw that Liu Yuhan was facing downwards. If she hit the ground like that, her stunning face would surely be ruined!
Without time to think further, Yi Tianchen rushed over to ensure he was in position and caught Liu Yuhan with one hand. Unfortunately, his hand landed right on her impressive chest. The firm touch sent a jolt through Yi Tianchen's body, nearly leaving him blank-minded.
"You... put me down!" Liu Yuhan's beautiful eyes were filled with shyness as she bit her lip and scolded him. A rosy blush spread across her fair face, exuding an irresistible charm.
"Oh oh oh!"
Regaining his senses, Yi Tianchen quickly set Liu Yuhan down. He inadvertently glanced at his left arm and felt a hint of regret; why did it have to be his arm?
Seeing this, Liu Yuhan stomped her foot in anger: "You... you did that on purpose!"
"…"
"My goodness!"
Looking at the beautiful girl before him, Yi Tianchen was momentarily speechless, struggling to find the right words. Just then, he heard the astonished voices of Li Tielong and others. Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan turned in confusion, and the scene before them was absolutely breathtaking.
After experiencing the shock of the Forest of Single Trees, Yi Tianchen had thought that was a miracle in itself. However, the sight before him quickly made him reconsider.
What lay before Yi Tianchen and the others was an incredibly vast underground space, illuminated by an unknown light that made everything appear so clear and real.
This was an underground version of the Forest of Single Trees!
In mid-air, countless roots crisscrossed in various thicknesses, intertwining to form a massive network. Many roots extended into the soil beneath their feet, growing thicker and transforming into sturdy trunks.
Soon, Yi Tianchen and the others reached a unified understanding. The scene before them was the enormous root system of the Forest of Single Trees above ground; aside from the absence of branches and leaves, everything else surpassed what they had seen above, even more magnificent.
A miracle—this was truly a miracle in every sense!
After a deep sigh of awe, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but take a deep breath. Only in a virtual game could one witness such a stunning sight. As his gaze fell, Yi Tianchen suddenly froze; beside those roots extending into the soil were some low-growing green plants.
Indeed, one could not view the virtual world through conventional logic!
"What are those things?"
Slightly taken aback, Liu Yuhan raised her delicate hand and pointed ahead. Upon hearing her words, Yi Tianchen and the others noticed small green protrusions exposed on the ground. At first glance, they seemed insignificant, but upon closer inspection, these green bumps appeared to be moving slowly.
"Could be monsters!"
Yi Tianchen took a quiet breath and felt somewhat speechless: "If that's true, these creatures are designed to be too hidden! One careless move could lead to disaster!"
While speaking, Yi Tianchen locked onto a nearby green protrusion and cast an Identification Technique from a distance—
Evil Sprite: Elite-level Monster (Beast)
Level: 28
Attack: 680-880
Defense: 520
Health Points: 9000/9000
Magic Points: 1500/1500

Note: This is a highly aggressive minor monster that often hides in the dirt, launching sudden attacks on targets entering the Restricted Area, catching them off guard.
Main Attack Method: It lies in wait, delivering surprise attacks on targets that enter its attack range, using its Steel Blade to slash at them, inflicting significant damage while having a high chance of causing a knockback effect.
Main Weak Points: Eyes, jaw, abdomen, back.
...
"An elite monster at level 28; let's see how tough it really is!"
Yi Tianchen held a bottle of Fourth-Level Life Potion, and after receiving agreement from the others, he dragged the Fury of the Wilderness forward, quickly closing in to within five yards of the target.
At that moment, a small green bump suddenly sank into the dirt, disappearing completely. For a moment, everyone was slightly puzzled. Did these creatures hide in the dirt out of fear?
But soon, they realized that this was not fear; on the contrary, it was the beginning of an attack!
"Bang..."
Yi Tianchen suddenly froze, the ground beneath him had been abruptly disturbed. With a strange shriek, a small green creature about half a meter tall leaped out, dragging a rusty knife in its hand. In an instant, it struck swiftly at Yi Tianchen's leg.
-1016!
"Damn, what a sneak attack!"
Yi Tianchen grimaced as he consumed a Fourth-Level Life Potion. He quickly shifted his stance to evade the evil goblin's second strike and swung his weapon, Wild Fury, sweeping it across the goblin's green body, splattering a burst of green liquid---
-969!
At that moment, Liu Yuhan's Frost Arrow landed precisely, immediately covering the area in white frost. However, due to Yi Tianchen's high damage output, the evil goblin consistently targeted him, often letting out a roar and swinging its rusty knife with ferocity.
After being slowed by Liu Yuhan's Frost Arrow, the evil goblin's movement speed drastically decreased. In less than twenty seconds, the green creature let out a scream, dropped its knife, and collapsed on the ground, dropping six Silver Coins.
Yi Tianchen's eyes lit up as he laughed heartily, "Who would have thought this guy would be so generous!"
"Attack is high, speed is moderate, vitality is moderate, and reaction is quick; it should be manageable!" Ignoring Yi Tianchen's delight over the Silver Coins, Liu Yuhan quickly assessed the situation and prepared for battle.
Hero Does Not Question Origin nodded and raised his axe. "Alright! This time I'll team up with Li Tielong as the tank; you all focus on dealing damage!"
Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan exchanged glances and agreed.
Soon, the battle commenced. Hero Does Not Question Origin maneuvered around the evil goblin to draw it out while coordinating with Li Tielong to maintain aggro. However, for safety reasons, Yi Tianchen and the others could only handle up to four evil goblins at once; any more would be too difficult to manage.
Undeniably, while these Elite Monsters were challenging to kill and posed a certain danger, they offered high experience points and a decent chance of dropping equipment—an enticing prospect for players seeking to level up.
After nearly half an hour of fighting, three beams of Golden Light fell as Yi Tianchen, Liu Yuhan, and Hero Does Not Question Origin leveled up simultaneously.
As they continued their advance, although Yi Tianchen and his companions grew more courageous in battle, they faced a headache from one of the evil goblin's other skills—burrowing!
The evil goblins, once they burrow underground, often emerge without warning from right beneath their feet, striking with a rusty dagger and catching them completely off guard. Truly, it was as noted in the monster's description—an unpredictable foe.
Continuing to advance, Yi Tianchen and his companions employed a strategy of "luring slowly, attacking quickly." Although they still endured a few cuts, their lives were not in danger. Gradually, they began to understand the attack patterns and frequency of these wicked goblins.
Suddenly, a loud crash echoed through the air, causing Yi Tianchen's heart to skip a beat; this sound was distinctly different from before!
At that moment, they heard Hero Does Not Question Origin let out a startled cry as he was lifted into the air and then crashed heavily back to the ground, losing a significant portion of his Vitality.
"Damn... it's a big one!" Hero Does Not Question Origin roared in disbelief.
At this time, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan finally caught sight of the creature that had appeared before them. Standing at over one meter sixty tall, it was more than three times the height of an ordinary goblin. Its skin was still a sickly green, with small bloodshot eyes and wielding a seemingly sharp Steel Blade.
Yi Tianchen felt a chill run down his spine. Could this be a BOSS?
