Chapter 168: Treasure Thief Goblin
High in the hollow of Doom, surrounded by the alien dragons, Xue Hua and Kasha flew side by side in the direction of the insect swarm chasing the treasure thieves.
On the way, Kashya told Xue Hua about the "legend" of the so-called "Treasure Thief Goblin".
It is rumored that there has always been a crack in the Chaos Purgatory in an anomalous space, and within this crack, there is a piece of exile floating in the void.
The land of exile is inhabited by the so-called "Eighth Demon Lord of Hell", the "Greedy Monarch" Mogonea.
It has built a large treasury of treasures and precious items in the Exiled Lands, and has a group of treasure thief goblins under its command, who, thanks to the power given by the Alien Gap, are able to tear through spatial rifts anywhere, travel between the Great Treasury and any world that has been discovered by Hell, and worship their "kings" by looting and stealing valuable loot.
However, due to the fact that the Treasure Hoarding Goblins move very fast, and they will open portals to burrow back into the Great Treasury whenever there is a gap, many people have only heard of these greedy and evil little monsters, but have not actually seen them.
As for the caught... That's even rarer.
Moreover, the number of Treasure Stealers Goblins is rarer than that of other demons, and the fact that they must be very valuable loot is likely to attract them, so only a few people have seen their existence.
Not only are these abominable loot thieves fast, but they're also very tolerant of control-type effects, allowing them to break free quickly even with the spell skills of legendary powerhouses.
The most important thing is that if you can't catch this guy within a certain amount of time, then Magona will personally take action, tear the space from the big treasure vault, and take the escaped treasure thief goblin directly back.
Once the Goblins are back in the Great Vault, you don't want to see your loot......
The legend of the Treasure Thief Goblin is very mysterious even within the Chaos Purgatory, and it is said that the three demon gods have tried to find the exiled land hidden in the cracks of space, and have taken all the treasures in the Great Treasury of Morgona for themselves, but they have never succeeded in finding the right place.
According to this, some demons even believe that the so-called treasure thief goblins and greedy monarchs are just boring legends, because they firmly believe that there is nothing in this world that the three demon gods cannot obtain.
However, there are also rumors that the strength of the greedy monarch is not at all as strong as the legend says, this guy is just a special ability, and he is actually very weak.
Just like the treasure thief goblins under its command, this guy's combat power is extremely limited, but his ability to hide and escape is estimated to be above the demon god-level existence, so he has escaped the search of the three demon gods again and again.
In the historical archives of the war zones of the Second World of Mankind, there are many records of professional people encountering treasure stealing goblins.
While these records are vague and even legendary, all of them describe the Treasure Hoarder Goblin as being thin and short, and poorly dressed.
- It had a dirty masked towel around its head, like a thief in a tavern stealing customers' wallets, and a large, torn, patched hemp cloth bag on its back, sometimes filled with gold coins and treasures, sometimes empty. - Researcher Record of the Mysterious Monster.
And the speed at which they move, it's also impressive.
- It ran like lightning, and I tried to compete with it in speed, but before I could lift my feet, the guy was gone—a record from a legendary assassin.
Treasure Goblins are not a threat to civilians, and these hateful thieves only care about treasures and loot of great value.
Sometimes, though—when they can't steal anything better to make offerings—they also steal gold coins, famous paintings, and valuable works of art and jewelry, and gems are their favorite.
Kasha told Xue Hua that she had encountered a Treasure Hoist Goblin during her training in the Second World, when she had just teamed up with a team of witchers to destroy a huge Dark Gold Quake clone.
Since this guy died outside the fortress in the shroud of the Lighthouse of Hope, he generously contributed equipment items and gem potions to Kasha and the others.
There's even a dull golden sheen shining in it.
Naturally, Kasha and the other professionals were overjoyed, and hurriedly wanted to collect the loot.
It was at this moment that the thief appeared.
It suddenly appeared in front of them, as if teleporting, and swooped down on their mountain of loot, grabbed the most valuable of them in its right hand, the dark gold scepter, and in its left hand, grabbed a large handful of gold coins, and ran away.
At that time, all the professionals present, including Kashya, were blinded, and then an unparalleled anger rose from their hearts.
They tried to chase the loot thief, but they couldn't keep up with the guy's speed, so they could only eat the ashes all the way, and watch it run farther and farther away......
For a while after that incident, Kasha even developed a bad habit of rushing to hug the loot as soon as she saw it, and it was only later that she slowly relieved herself as her rank and experience increased.
However, her interest in the Treasure Heist Goblin itself has grown, and she has been looking forward to tracking this guy once and seeing if she can catch up with it now.
After listening to Kashya's story, Xue Hua slowly recalled where he had heard the name "Treasure Thief Goblin......
This thing appears in the Diablo 3rd generation game, and is a small monster that gives benefits to players.
As long as the player sees it and finds a way to focus their firepower on it, they will get a very good loot reward.
These include a good amount of gold, gems, and a variety of materials, as well as generally good quality equipment.
The Treasure Hoarder Goblin in the game does not fight back, but moves fast and has a reduced duration of various restricted abilities on it.
It will attempt to open a portal and escape after escaping the player's pursuit, and will throw down small lures to delay the player's pursuit as it runs.
The first few times it opened the portal, it was only a simple hit to interrupt its escape.
But once the time drags on too long, this guy will end up desperately opening the portal and escaping against your attacks.
Once you let it escape, you won't get the slightest benefit, which is a pretty crazy thing in the game......
Xue Hua didn't expect that he originally thought that the treasure thief goblin was just a small benefit and challenge for players in the game design, but he actually saw such a greedy little demon in reality?
And even if this guy doesn't give him benefits, he still dares to snatch his booty?
This is so special that grandma can bear it, and grandpa can't bear it!
