There were about seventeen or eighteen kobolds in this group, but Lin Chen didn't make a move, but let the six farmers wait here, and he took two of them around the other side of the mudflat.

Kobolds are humanoids, the size is equivalent to that of children, and their combat effectiveness is weak, even if they are farmers, as long as they are bold, they can poke a few to death with a dung fork, and if they are trained to meet professional warriors who have seen blood, any team can take out a small kobold tribe.

Of course, the premise is that this kobold tribe does not have a dragon vein kobold warlock who awakens dragon blood, it is said that kobold people have dragon blood, Lin Chen knows that this rumor is true, there are powerful kobold awakened dragon veins in some planes of the Void Domain.

There is almost no possibility that this group of kobold tribes will awaken the dragon vein, otherwise the early trialists will not be able to mix at all.

The group of kobolds seemed to live on the river, and under the cover of the half-man-deep weeds along the river, the kobolds patrolling along the river from time to time did not notice them, until they came to a simple village near the river.

The kobold village is located on a high ground by the river, enclosed by a wooden fence, about one meter and a half high, inside is a variety of messy animal skin tents and tree branches set up a simple dwelling, the village is not very clear at a glance, the kobold people inside look quite a lot, about thirty or forty, if you add those who go out to find food, the whole village is estimated to have more than 100 kobolds.

The most luxurious thing in the whole village is undoubtedly a stone-built hut in the village, Lin Chen carefully observed for a while, counted the number of kobolds, combined with the kobolds he saw just now, he already had a little bit in his heart.

Back at the camp, he used up all the remaining ten gold, and exchanged it for ten wood-splitting axes through the simulator, the simulator cannot be exchanged for weapons but can be exchanged for agricultural tools, and the wood-cutting axe is also a farming tool, which is a small loophole, and it can be regarded as a preferential treatment at the beginning, just look at the trialist's inflexible brain.

The axes were one of gold, and only ten were replaced, and the remaining farmers gathered shovels or sickles or other sharp weapons, and even Lin Chen took a fork.

There is not a single gold left, this is basically a wave, and if it fails, it will be over.

However, observing the situation of the kobold village, Lin Chen still felt that he still had a certain degree of confidence, as long as he broke through the kobold village, he would not only have a safe place to develop, but also estimate that he would be able to collect some gold.

It was obviously the arrangement of the Supreme Tower or the Pantheon, and he could sense that there must be something good in the stone house in the center of this kobold village, which was the so-called monster killing equipment.

With sixteen rabble with axes and dung forks, they went north along the small river, and soon came to the mudflat before, and with a wave of his hand, several farmers surrounded him from the other side, and he ordered the next nest of peaks to kill into the mudflat, and the kobold who was in the mudflat and didn't know what to catch was stunned for a moment, and the next second he screamed and fled in the direction of the village, but was blocked.

The battle ended very quickly, and the sixteen strong men were not crushed against a dozen kobolds who were only one meter and one or two, and they killed all of them in one go, and none of them ran away.

Simply clean up the battlefield, there is nothing, the corpse of the kobold is not considered food, which makes Lin Chen a little disappointed, but the loaches in their small pockets are an unexpected joy, although it is not much, it is delicious.

And what surprised him was that these loaches were also a kind of resource in the simulator, a kind of food that could be used as a trading item to exchange materials with other trialists, provided that someone likes to eat and is willing to exchange with you, but the transaction between trialists is not available for the time being, and this crystal simulator must be upgraded to the second level to have, and now you have to eat it yourself.

After a short break, the group continued along the river, and when they saw the kobold patrol, they rushed up to kill them, and when they arrived at their destination, the kobolds did not even notice them for a while.

The next thing is to attack, Lin Chen didn't play any tactics, he just led the team to kill it in one go, and went straight to the gate of the village.

A few kobolds guarding the door were lazily basking in the sun, and they were startled when they heard the sudden shouting of killing, and they got up and saw more than a dozen bloody men killing them, and they subconsciously wanted to escape, and the village was suddenly in chaos.

Lin Chen kicked open the wooden door that was about to be closed, and killed a kobold with a fork, and his subordinates rushed in and cut down several kobolds at the door, raising the fork and shouting:

"Kill them all!"

At this moment, an old kobold with a wooden staff walked out of the stone house in the center of the kobold village, the wooden staff in his hand looked strange, the top was a tree knot, and there was a huge ruby stuck on it, and there was a faint spiritual light flickering on it.

"Kill him first."

Damn, how can there be a spellcaster?

There was a serious mistake in the calculation, he didn't expect that such a small kobold tribe, the total number of small tribes estimated to be less than a hundred, would have spellcasters, it was like a phoenix really coming out of a chicken nest.

The old kobold screamed, and the morale of the kobolds who had been killed on their backs was greatly boosted, and the old kobold waved the wooden staff in his hand, and a faint red glow rose on it, and he began to cast spells.

Lin Chen was in a hurry, the power of the spell at this stage was not something they could stop, no matter how weak the spell was, he could kill them, and he wanted to kill the old kobold first, but the other ordinary kobolds rushed up to block them like they had taken medicine, even if they were killed and injured by the farmers with a few axes, they did not collapse.

Seeing that the crystal on the wand was getting brighter and brighter, and a large amount of red light converged into a fireball outline, Lin Chen felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he called two of his subordinates to follow him and forcibly rushed over from the crazy kobold, and the dung fork in his hand was thrown violently, and the accurate fork of five or six meters stabbed the old kobold's chest and leaned back, but he actually hit the stone house behind him and steadied himself, and a mouthful of blood rushed out and dyed the staff red, but the red light on it did not disappear, but was stimulated by the essence blood, and the fireball quickly took shape, smashing towards Lin Chen before sliding down.

Lin Chen, who had been paying attention, only felt that his scalp was numb, and he rushed to the side, a blazing fireball crossed his ear in an arc and turned to the other end, and the mountain shook with a 'boom', and the hot air wave came from behind, making him rush forward involuntarily, his back hurt, his clothes were burned, and his eardrums were also stinging.

As soon as he got up, a large crater was blown up by a fireball behind him, and the ground was covered with charred corpses, and a large number of kobolds and his farmers were blown alive, and burning stumps were scattered all over the ground.

Nine of the sixteen farmers who were brought in were killed under this spell, three were seriously injured, and the rest were all wounded, almost wiped out.

However, the kobolds were even more miserable, and the few kobolds in the village were about to die, leaving only a few injured ones lying in the corners and convulsing.

Lin Chen only glanced at it, didn't care about counting the losses, picked up the axe that fell not far away, and took a step forward to cut it down, and chopped off the head of the seriously injured old kobold with one sword, and the staff in his hand slipped and he picked it up.

Shoddy Wand (Fireball): A first-order magic item that can store spells below the first order, and now stores 2/3 of the spell 'Fireball', which can be used once every three days.

Sure enough, the old kobold was able to cast spells with this wand, and he didn't know where he got it, which caused him a huge loss.

Most of the peasants who were finally summoned died, only seven remained, and a few of them were crippled, even if the summoned creatures could slowly recover from their injuries, the crippled arms would not grow back.

This fireball directly stunned him, but the corresponding kobold tribe was gone, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, which can be regarded as a defeat for both.

Kill the remaining kobolds one by one, gather the wounded, Lin Chen began to search for the spoils in the village, the first is the central stone house, the first thing to see when you enter the house is a fire in the house, there is a pot on it, it seems that something is still boiling in it, some black and green paste, and there are a few loaches that have not been disemboweled, which look disgusting.

The room is very dirty, there are all kinds of messy things, he only glanced at it, and found the old kobold's treasure, a small box under a simple wooden bed, opened it to see, several red lights came out, inside turned out to be some rubies with the same big ruby on the top of the staff, pick up the same view, the crystal simulator gave the answer is the flame ruby, which is a precious magic material, can gather the flame element, the one on the staff is very large, and the quality is also high, The old kobold casually tinkered with a staff that could perform fireball magic, which was simply ruthless.

I don't know where the old kobold got this thing, Lin Chen guessed that it might have been found by the kobold before he was moved.

He had already guessed that everything in this trial battlefield was arranged by the Supreme Tower and the Pantheon, the kobold originally liked to live in the mountains or in the mines, this tribe lived by the river is obviously abnormal, it is very likely that they were forcibly moved from other places, these gems were dug before.

But speculation is just speculation, anyway, these are all cheap now, there are eleven rubies in the small box, the largest is only the size of an egg, the smallest is only the size of a little finger, the purchase price of the crystal simulator is also 250 gold coins, the largest egg is as big as 1500, and the total is estimated to be five or six thousand gold coins, which is definitely a huge amount of money at the beginning.

Therefore, opportunities and risks coexist, and Lin Chen felt that he had made a lot of money in exchange for this huge amount of money by taking huge risks and losses.

The biggest advantage may be that the terrain of this village is not bad, the terrain is high, facing the river, there is a tree behind it that can be cut down, the river can be reclaimed into farmland, and the original tent and guard tower fence can be removed and moved to establish a base here.

Lin Chen, the jewel was not all sold, but sold six, for a total of 2,600 gold coins.

The remaining gem Lin Chen is going to use it as a magic prop, he chose to meditate as a mage before, plus he has learned the production of magic items before learning the magic pattern construction science, and he can start to make magic equipment to arm himself when his mental power reaches the apprentice level.

This old kobold almost wiped him out with just one fireball, and if he made all these flame rubies into magic props and hung them on his body, he could immediately become a magic turret, not too powerful in the early stage.

Especially that staff, such a large ruby was estimated at more than four thousand gold coins in the simulator system, and it was spicy to make such a humble thing with such a good thing, and he was going to modify it himself when the time came, and fully unleash the power of this large flame gem.

After opening the crystal simulator and taking a look at the remaining food, Lin Chen recruited a full twenty farmers in one go, spending a total of 100 gold and 100 food, ten of the twenty-seven farmers went to logging, five went fishing, five went back to tear down the fence of the original tent guard tower, and the remaining seven cleaned up the kobold village and threw away all the garbage inside, it was too smelly.

Now that I have money, I don't have to be stingy with the tents, so I summoned ten tents to put them in the camp in one breath, the original fence was not high, all the ones were demolished, the wood was recycled and rebuilt, but the central stone house was not used, let the subordinates clean it up, and go to the river to get some water to rinse it and live in it.

By the time it got dark, the village had been renovated, a bonfire was lit, and Lin Chen fell asleep peacefully.

On the third day, a few of the injured farmers watched over the house, while the remaining half went hunting, and half of the farmers fell, while he stayed in the village and meditated.

Now that you have money, you don't have to be so hard to do everything in person, the old kobold taught him a lesson, this world is really not safe, it's better to let yourself have a little strength first.

Looking up at the sky, he softly exhaled the attribute ability panel, and there was no reaction, so he put his mind at ease, his eyes skimmed over hundreds of disciplines that had been promoted to the intermediate level, and finally landed on the basic meditation, and with a movement of his mind, the ten potential points turned into invisible energy and disappeared, and a layer of light waves on the panel slashed, and the basic meditation technique shook for a moment, and there was no change, but he knew that there was a change, his spirit was a little stronger, and a trace of mana was born in his mind.

This mage meditation technique is different from the meditation method of the wizarding world, the meditation method of the wizarding world cannot be strengthened through potential points, and this meditation technique can be strengthened, but it is only strengthened, there is no setting for upgrading, only strengthening, strengthening once is equivalent to deep meditation once, and the increased mental power and spells are ten times stronger than ordinary meditation.

This is the auxiliary ability of the Rubik's Cube space, although it can't help directly, but with this assistance, you can become a strong person faster.

It took two days for the farmers to gather enough wood, and Lin Chen immediately consumed one hundred gold, two hundred food, and two hundred wood, unlocking the crystal simulator system to level 1, and the icons on it immediately lit up a lot.

For example, thatched huts appeared under tents, thicker and taller wooden fences appeared under wooden fences, wooden gates, and guard towers were taller and larger, which could provide higher visibility and guard space, in addition to being exchanged for farm tools such as butcher knives and kitchen knives, as well as various farm tools such as seeds, plows, and windmills.

Unfortunately, there are no cattle, and it is not easy to reclaim farmland.

Lin Chen studied it, consumed another hundred gold and a hundred grains to recruit twenty more farmers, and then took them to plan the land on both sides of the river, burned the grass with fire and used the ashes as fertilizer, and reclaimed a piece of farmland, each of which was exactly one acre, a total of twenty acres.
