Rod of Divine Light?

As a precaution, Xia Chengfeng stabbed the goblins again to ascertain that they were not feigning death before he cleaned up the mess from the battle.

These goblins were not even wearing clothes, so it turned out there was nothing he could loot from them.

The only thing he got was the mace of the goblin captain.

[Goblin Captain's Mace Lv1 (Common)]: Covered in blood. Despite its poor workmanship, it can inflict remarkable damage.

Xia Chengfeng decomposed the heap of goblin corpses.

System Notification: Obtained [Soul Rock Fragment (Lv1)] +5, [Soul Rock (Lv2) +1, [Blood Vapor Essence Lv1] +6, [Skeleton Lv1] +6.

The skeletons could be used in elixirs or to raise skeletal monsters. However, Xia Chengfeng thought that their levels were too low and that they took up too much space. He also thought it was also inauspicious to hang skeletons all over his home. Thus, he decomposed the skeletons to ash and disposed of them.

"I've exhausted almost 50% of my stamina." Xia Chengfeng ate a few berries and pieces of cured meat to recover his stamina.

He decided to scout around in the tunnel that the goblins had dug. Xia Chengfeng only found soil and pebbles scattered all over, and the tunnel permeated with the thick stench of blood.

The singing grass did not produce any alarms at this moment. That meant that no goblins were approaching him.

"There should not be too many monsters in One Star caves, but I still have to be careful." Xia Chengfeng held on to his long sword and a steel shovel as he walked carefully into the tunnel.

Ordinary goblins were short, but the goblin captain was massive. Thus, Xia Chengfeng could easily walk through the tunnel they dug.

The tunnel was pitch black. Xia Chengfeng had no choice but to use a torch. He had made this torch by saturating a log of wood with lard. It could burn for one to two hours.

He prodded the ground with his sword with every step he took in case there were any traps in the tunnel.

However, ordinary goblins were not that intelligent. There was nothing in the tunnel. Soon, Xia Chengfeng arrived at the goblin cave.

Shrubs were growing in the cave. Xia Chengfeng had just arrived when a goblin charged toward him with a weird cry. Xia Chengfeng killed the goblin with one strike.

System Notification: Killed [Ordinary Goblin Lv1]. Obtained 10 points battle experience.

He searched the cave anxiously and discovered there were no longer any goblins left in the goblin cave. Xia Chengfeng chopped down the shrubbery and decomposed them.

System Notification: Obtained [Firewood] +19. Obtained [Plant Essence Lv1] +19.

After clearing off the shrubbery, Xia Chengfeng saw that there were many bone fragments scattered across the ground. There were bones of both wild beasts and goblins alike. There were even the fractured remains of a human skeleton!

That pathetic chap had been torn apart as food for the goblins. Even his skull had been bashed open.

Other than the heap of bones, Xia Chengfeng also discovered a shattered runic treasure box. The runic treasure box had already been opened and there were some items within it. He picked them up one by one.

System Notification: Obtained [Beast Hide Skirt Lv1], [Jackal Skin Lv1] +2, [Beast Bone Sword Lv2 (Quality: Good)], [Profession Enlightenment — Swordsman], [Hemostatic Elixir Lv1 Design].

"So, I actually got myself a Profession Enlightenment!" Xia Chengfeng had assumed that there would be Profession Enlightenments to be found in the One Star caves, but he did not expect there to be one in the very first cave he explored.

[Profession Enlightenment—Swordsman]: This is a book that records the methods to cultivate sword techniques and sword auras. You will officially become a swordsman after you study this!

Xia Chengfeng was a little hesitant. He was a swordsman during closed beta. He would be getting into a familiar profession if he became a swordsman now.

However, he had not chosen the Sword Soul as his magic soul at the start and did not have a strong enough innate talent.

"I'll keep it for the time being. It is not too late to become a swordsman in the future if I can't find anything better." Xia Chengfeng kept the Profession Enlightenment.

Under normal circumstances, he could only choose a single path to cultivate. That was because different supernatural powers would repel each other.

He continued looking through the other items.

[Beast Hide Skirt Lv1]: A skirt for females made using beast hide. It is engraved with a few defense runes.

"To think that it is made especially for females…" Xia Chengfeng was a little speechless. However, when he thought that an additional defense point meant an additional chance for survival, he had no choice but to put it on. It fitted him rather well.

He was now wearing a shirt, skirt, and boots made of a beast's hide. His attire was similar to that of Sun Wukong.

The jackal skin could be used to make leather or clothes. Xia Chengfeng decided to use it to line his bed.

[Beast Bone Sword Lv2 (Quality: Good)]: A short sword carved out of the bone of a monster. It is engraved with a small number of attack runes.

In the Crypt World, weapons and defensive equipment had inherent qualities, with inferior being the worst level. For example, the knight's long sword that Xia Chengfeng had made in the past was of inferior quality. Then there was common, good, great, exquisite, legendary, and epic.

The higher the quality, the better the attributes of the equipment. The weapons would sometimes be imbued with special effects when used in battle.

Furthermore, this world did not have any strict level restrictions when it came to using the equipment. A Lv1 character could use Lv2 or Lv4 equipment.

Of course, only when a player had a matching power level with the equipment he used would the player be able to utilize the weapon to its fullest extent.

[Hemostatic Elixir Lv1 Design]: Can be used to create hemostatic elixirs to heal wounds. Required ingredients: Blood coagulating grass, blood vapor essence.

Xia Chengfeng chose to learn the design. He had obtained a few stalks of blood coagulating grass from his previous trades and could use them to make elixirs.

After he was done with these things, Xia Chengfeng carefully searched the goblin cave again. He chose to take over the cave after he ascertained that he had not missed anything out.

System Notification: Obtained [Space Crystal (One Star)] +1.

[Space Crystal (One Star)]: Increases your space bubble by 10 cubic meters when used.

The area of Xia Chengfeng's space bubble had increased by another 10 cubic meters. He set aside another small plot of land to sow the seeds of his blood-coagulating grass.

He knew he needed to have a medicinal farm. Fortunately, he had not been injured during the battle with the goblins, as he had been on the defensive. But it would be hard to predict how the future battles would go.

Xia Chengfeng's battle experience had reached 100%. However, he could not increase his level yet as he had not become a Superb Individual.

Xia Chengfeng checked the forums while he rested to see how the rest of the players were doing.

: Save me! I got bitten by a viper. What do I do?

: To think that there are tigers in One Star caves. It's alright, I only have a shovel. Aren't I still fine… But the post trailed off midway.

: I don't even dare to dig now after I've read your posts. Please give me a weapon! How can I fight without a weapon?

: I heard that someone had already obtained a weapon with a level. They said that they felt their strength increase significantly after they wielded the weapon!

: Brothers, I picked up a rod of divine light. Can I transform and become Ultraman? (Picture attached)

Most of the players were only at the exploratory phase after the appearance of the One Star caves. A few unfortunate players had even lost their lives.

Xia Chengfeng was also one of the "unlucky" ones. However, he did not get eaten by the goblins as he was well prepared.

Xia Chengfeng replied to the poster who had picked up the "rod of divine light", and messaged: That's not a transformation device. It should be a holy item. try to communicate with it. You might be surprised.

Holy items were also a kind of Profession Enlightenment. It was just that the player had not activated it.

In a cave somewhere, a young man wielded the stone-shaped "rod of divine light" and was extremely confused. "This is a holy item? Is he joking? How do I communicate with it?"

He grabbed the holy item in his hand and shouted, "Ultraman!"

The holy item did not react.

"Gaia!"

There was still no reaction.

"Brilliant dance techniques, let me eliminate you!"

The holy item burst with incandescent light and enveloped the young man.

"F***!" He cursed just before he passed out.

On the other side, Xia Chengfeng engaged in divination once again.
