Lords of the Old Ones? I thought it was a speed bump.

Chapter 11 Elite Goblin Watchtower

An hour later, in the eastern suburbs of Baigang City, at the Lin family's old residence.

When Lin Jue walked into the house carrying a huge backpack and a new mountain bike.

The hour hand on the old wall clock had already pointed to the ten o'clock position.

It's already so late. I've really wasted a lot of time today.

Lin Jue sighed at how quickly time had passed as he strode into the kitchen.

I took out a shaker and made myself a big cup of the new whey protein powder I had just bought.

Savoring the silky smooth texture, Lin Jue couldn't help but nod and praise:

"The protein powder that hasn't expired definitely tastes much better... although it still tastes awful."

As a fitness enthusiast, Lin Jue needs to consume a lot of protein every day.

After all, strength training or high-intensity exercise can cause micro-damage to muscle fibers.

The body needs the amino acids in proteins to repair damage and promote muscle growth.

Therefore, the average fitness enthusiast needs to supplement more than twice the amount of protein as a normal person.

Lin Jue, a body-training fanatic, went even further, as his daily diet simply couldn't provide the necessary nutrients.

But because he was very short of money before, he had been drinking expired protein powder that had clumped together.

When eating out, you can only choose the cheapest frozen chicken breast and cheap discounted eggs.

But now that he has money, things are much easier. This time, Lin Jue bought thirty catties of beef from the supermarket.

I plan to braise it briefly in a pot when I get back, and then store it in the refrigerator so I can eat it anytime.

Of course, given his current energy expenditure, he probably won't be able to eat for very long.

After tilting his head back, he drank the entire liter of whey protein powder in the shaker cup in one gulp.

Lin Jue quickly packed his backpack, preparing to enter "Dungeon. Goblin Highlands" again.

But this time, he wouldn't go in like a headless fly, completely clueless, like he did yesterday.

In addition to aerial drones and telescopes used to locate enemy positions.

Lin Jue also specially prepared a brand-new mountain bike as his mode of transportation.

Although he also has his own custom-built car, the "Anti-theft MK2".

However, those heavy iron carts weighing 100 pounds can easily get stuck in the ground in the wild and are impossible to drive.

To drive on rugged mountain terrain, you need a specialized off-road vehicle.

"Very good, all ready... The wonderful hunting time begins."

After confirming that everything was working properly, Lin Jue smiled with relief and strode towards the basement door.

Pushing open that familiar door, I walked along the dimly lit corridor for a while, and the familiar Sequence Hall came into view once again.

The moment Lin Jue stepped into the hall, he casually stopped the stopwatch.

He nodded in satisfaction when he saw the time displayed on the stopwatch.

Yesterday, it took Lin Jue a full ten minutes to get here from the entrance.

Today, I exercised while walking, but it only took me less than seven minutes to reach my destination.

Clearly, Lin Jue's walking habits and frequency have not changed.

The significant increase in agility has made all movements noticeably faster.

And these physical changes are very natural, without causing any discomfort.

As Lin Jue once again stepped into the familiar wilderness plains of "Goblin Highlands".

He quickly put down the mountain bike he was carrying, straddled it, and took out his compass.

Yesterday I went south following the direction of the compass... Today I'll explore in the opposite direction.

After determining the direction, Lin Jue gently stepped onto the pedal.

The bicycle chain snapped shut, and the whole bike shot off like an arrow.

The sound of the wind filling my ears was no longer a whooshing sound, but a sharp whistling sound.

The scattered tree shadows, moving at high speed, turned into patches of brown, rushing wildly backward from both sides, too fast to be discerned.

If a traffic policeman from another world were to use a speed gun to measure speed here at this moment...

You'll find that this bicycle can reach an astonishing speed of over 100 kilometers per hour.

Even so, Lin Jue was clearly not satisfied; he could have ridden even faster.

However, after reaching a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, the mountain bike showed signs of falling apart.

For safety's sake, Lin Jue had to slow down slightly, but he still had a lingering thought in his mind.

It seems this mountain bike isn't sturdy enough... I need to buy a better one.

Buying a better car means needing more money, which also means needing to earn more gold coins.

Not long after, Lin Jue rode his bicycle to a nearby hill with higher elevation.

He opened his backpack and took out the ginger drone worth 88,000 yuan.

Following the instructions, I controlled the thing and made it fly into the distance.

Soon, the footage captured by the drone was transmitted to the controller's screen.

I have to say, the feeling of looking down at the earth from a high place is really different.

The view, which was originally blocked by shrubs, trees and terrain, immediately became clear.

Soon after, several goblin squads patrolling nearby appeared in the drone's view.

I didn't know until I searched that there were six goblin squads within a few kilometers.

Lin Jue also recorded the locations of all these goblin squads on a hand-drawn map.

He started drawing this map after entering the instance last night. It's a bit rough, but you can still roughly figure out the location.

"Wow." Looking at the densely packed location records on the map, Lin Jue couldn't help but exclaim:

"These guys are so hard to find. Without drones, it would take forever to find them."

However, just as Lin Jue was preparing to retrieve the drone that was gradually flying away.

When they planned to sneak over and launch a ruthless ambush on the goblins.

A peculiar image appeared on the screen of the drone as it was about to reach its maximum distance.

It was a dilapidated watchtower standing on the inside of the valley.

The watchtower was built crookedly and haphazardly.

It's like a sharp tooth that's been eaten by worms and has grown out of the earth.

From a distance, you can see several goblins holding bows and arrows standing on the broken wooden planks.

They were furtively surveying the surrounding area, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

A thick flagpole stands atop the watchtower.

The flag had a crooked symbol drawn on it.

It looked like it had been haphazardly smeared with blood and charcoal ash.

Even more striking is the sight of a giant goblin drinking alcohol sitting next to the flagpole.

This goblin was at least several times the size of an ordinary soldier and looked as muscular as a gorilla.

In addition to being exceptionally strong, it was also covered in sturdy armor.

The spiked club lying to the side was covered in dark red bloodstains, which was quite frightening.

The moment I saw this monster through the drone's screen.

A series of basic information about the monsters floated before Lin Jue's eyes.

[Goblin Captain (LV6): A mid-level commander who oversees all goblin squads near the watchtower. Due to his excessive gluttony, his weight has skyrocketed. He enjoys smashing the heads of his prey with a spiked club.]

...So that's how it is. This is what they call the "Goblin Elite Watchtower." Interesting.

Looking at the giant goblin several kilometers away.

Lin Jue's eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of excitement.

Compared to the level 1 goblin minions.

This level 6 elite monster is obviously many times stronger.

The problem is, right now, besides this goblin captain, there's nothing else in this watchtower.

There are even dozens of small monsters that can use ranged weapons like bows and arrows... That's really annoying.
