Chapter 407: Chapter 406 Big Saber Goblin

"Where was my head with the first option? Surely I wasn’t so desperate for food that I found Crimson Iron Ant Meat skewers too greasy and slurped down a whole 2-kilogram can of thick soup, right?

The soup was as thick and sticky as snot, with a chewiness similar to aloe vera gel that just slid down my throat and into my stomach."

Just imagining that scene made Zhang Yanhang’s throat feel uncomfortable.

"As for the second option, it actually was real local specialties dug out from the ground, not some roasted Big Saber Goblin thigh or stewed Goblin brain or other weird stuff."

To be honest, when Zhang Yanhang first saw the option labeled ’Goblin Plain Special Products,’ he felt a sudden chill and had a bad premonition.

Fortunately, the actual details of the option didn’t turn his premonition into reality. He truly had no interest in experiencing Goblin meat or any dark cuisine related to it.

"So, this Shining Root and Sunlight Grass can restore a small amount of Energy Value even if eaten raw. Isn’t this stuff likely just the materials for crafting the Magic Recovery Potion?"

Zhang Yanhang felt somewhat conflicted about having stumbled upon the materials for the Magic Recovery Potion without having yet discovered the recipe.

He was thrilled that the materials were spread so broadly, which meant he probably wouldn’t be short on them when crafting the Magic Recovery Potion later. But he also felt frustrated about how to acquire the potion recipe.

Since it was indeed crafted by the Goblin Shamans, there was a high chance of finding it in a treasure box, but the problem was that even if Zhang Yanhang could defeat the Goblin Shaman, he might not understand the recipe.

He remembered seeing an Alchemy notebook in a treasure box early on, but the notebook was written in the Goblin Language and in the dialect of the Nu Mountain Tribe.

Zhang Yanhang thought that the small Magic Potion recipe might also be similarly inaccessible. After all, even if the Goblin Shaman knew the Human language, it certainly wouldn’t kindly write a standard version of the Magic Potion recipe for its enemies.

So, if that were the case, it meant that even if Zhang Yanhang got the recipe, he might not be able to use it correctly or craft the Magic Recovery Potion according to it.

Of course, since Zhang Yanhang was somewhat of an Alchemist, if he had the raw materials, he could theoretically deduce the formula, albeit with some difficulty. Therefore, if not absolutely necessary, he’d still prioritize obtaining a ready-made recipe.

The thought of possibly having to deduce the formula from the raw materials and final product was headache-inducing for Zhang Yanhang. "Forget it, I’ll worry about this huge project after I’ve cleared the Goblin Plain.

And who knows, maybe the Goblin Shaman will indeed have written the recipe in the Human language. Although it seems very unlikely, it’s still a possibility."

"The first two options, whether I had to chug a whole can of thick soup or stave off hunger by eating strange plant roots, were pretty unappealing to me. So, skipping dinner seems like the better choice at this moment.

Another important thing: a Big Saber Goblin, such a weakling, actually has a First Tier One-star Level? And it’s even an Elite Monster..."

Zhang Yanhang vaguely remembered that the Big Saber Goblin was supposed to be the weakest monster in the Goblin Plain. Judging from this, the starting level of monsters in the Goblin Plain was at least First Tier Two Stars, equivalent to the average Licker, definitely overpowering neighboring Raccoon City.

But Zhang Yanhang didn’t mention the Big Saber Goblin’s First Tier Two Stars strength because he found these Goblins particularly challenging; after all, both the First Tier Two Stars Licker and First Tier Zero Star Ordinary Zombie were no match for him currently.

Instead, he was extremely excited because higher monster strength meant higher yields of Energy points and better Equipment.

"A First Tier One-star Elite Monster should drop a Green quality treasure box, meaning that the lowest Quality of Equipment and Artifacts I’ll obtain in the Goblin Plain will be Blue.

And with a little help from Alchemy, it can easily upgrade to Purple or even Dark Purple."

Thinking about this, Zhang Yanhang felt even more thrilled. He already planned to upgrade his Equipment, and if the loot from the Goblin Plain monsters was suitable, he might not finish his full upgrade plan, but completing a part of it or even a third seemed hopeful.

"Although I’ve decided on the third option already, there’s no rush to make a specific choice right now. Next, I want to explore the Goblin Plain while Time Stop is active."

After checking all the options, Zhang Yanhang immediately dashed off in a random direction. He intended to traverse the entire Goblin Plain, so it didn’t really matter which direction he started in.

...

After who knows how long running around the Goblin Plain with Time Stop active, Zhang Yanhang had successfully scouted the entire area.

Overall, the structure of the Goblin Plain was similar to Raccoon City, simply divided into the Outer Zone, Middle Layer, and Core Area.

The Core Area seemed to be specifically where the ’Nu Mountain Tribe’ was located, the only large Goblin tribe in the entire Goblin Plain, with the Lord Monster, the Goblin Chief, residing there.

The Middle Layer surrounded it with various small and medium-sized Goblin tribes, while the Outer Zone had no Goblin tribes, only some ordinary Goblins wandering around.

Zhang Yanhang had also understood the total area of the Goblin Plain, amounting to about 110 square kilometers. That meant it was nearly three times the size of Raccoon City with just ten more kilometers.

Even though the Goblin Plain was indeed huge, this place wasn’t like the Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu, which required navigating through maze-like corridors. This was a vast plain, so Zhang Yanhang was confident that he could clear it in significantly less time than it took to clean the Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu."
