I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno led everyone back more than 300 meters before stopping.

Xue Feibai looked at Anuo and asked, "Which way do we go next?"

Anno glanced around and said, "Don't explore further for now. Observe the situation on the perimeter first."

Trolls are monsters with thick skin, great strength, and immense power.

There's definitely more than one here.

The main task now is to kill as many monsters as possible before these monsters discover that someone has infiltrated them.

Over the next period of time, Anno led the group to clear out the monsters around the outer hillside.

The monsters on the outskirts weren't just goblins; Anno also encountered kobolds, ratmen, and other orcs from the evil faction.

These orcs also traveled in pairs.

Race: Kobold

Rating: 5

Life: 800/800

Mana: 300/300

Skills: None

Kobolds are about the same height as normal humans, and their weapons are mostly pickaxes and shovels. They are stronger than goblins in combat.

Race: Skaven

Rating: 5

Life: 400/400

Mana: 200/200

Skills: None

The rats are about the same size as goblins, both around one meter tall. Their melee abilities are even inferior to goblins, but they are significantly faster than both goblins and kobolds.

During my first battle with the kobolds and ratmen, things almost went wrong.

When Anno encountered the kobolds, he used the old method and had a goblin lure them away.

Unexpectedly, the kobolds completely ignored the summoning of goblins.

When the goblins were summoned close to the kobold, the kobold picked up a weapon and glared at them with bared teeth.

Anno didn't know why the kobolds hated goblins, but as long as he could lure the kobolds into the ambush, that would be fine.

Anor summons goblins to provoke the kobolds from a distance.

The kobold picked up a pickaxe from the ground and headed toward summoning the goblins.

After summoning goblins to lure the two kobolds into the ambush, Anno, along with his summoned creatures, Xue Feibai, and Meng Xin, launched an attack simultaneously.

The kobolds were caught completely off guard by the sudden attack.

One of the kobolds was hit in a vital spot by several attacks and died on the spot.

The other one was luckier; it survived being slashed several times by Xue Feibai and Meng Xin.

"Awooo~!"

When it saw humans appear, it knew that an enemy had invaded, and immediately raised its head and roared to convey the message.

Fortunately, Anno had previously hunted down an archer goblin and summoned it.

Just as the kobold uttered its cry, an arrow, gleaming coldly, struck its throat.

The kobold's cries stopped abruptly, and it collapsed to the ground.

[Obtain Kobold Souls (White) x2]

Offering kobold teeth, kobold left claws, or kobold souls can summon kobolds.

After retrieving the arrows, Anno didn't hesitate to replace the two goblins and summon two kobolds.

So Anno started summoning kobolds to lure prey, and the group hunted down the kobolds in the area.

As for the rat-men they encountered later, it was Meng Xin who discovered them.

Just as everyone had killed a pair of kobolds and were burying the bodies, Meng Xin, who was keeping watch on the surroundings, spotted two ratmen walking towards them.

As the ratmen approached, they seemed to smell the blood in the air and drew their weapons.

They were nearby and came over to check the situation after hearing the commotion.

The faint smell of blood in the air immediately put the ratmen on alert.

Just as the timid ratmen were preparing to retreat and report the situation to their superiors, they saw the summoning kobold emerge.

Anno sent his summoned creatures to deal with the ratmen, then launched an attack when they were off guard!

To Anno's surprise, the ratmen reacted extremely quickly.

Neither of the two attacks that summoned kobolds hit their target.

After being attacked, the ratmen questioned the kobolds about the reason while fleeing—in terms of raw strength, the ratmen were no match for the kobolds.

Fortunately, while Anno was summoning the kobolds to buy time, he had his other summoned creatures and Xue Feibai and the others surround the two ratmen.

No matter how agile the ratmen are, they have no chance to fight back against six level 5 (Anno and his five summons), plus Xue Feibai and Meng Xin.

In less than ten seconds, they were beaten to death by the mob.

[Obtain 2 White Ratman Souls]

[Sacrifice the ratman's tail and two ratman incisors; the ratman's soul can summon another ratman.]

This near-exposure made everyone's hearts race.

Just as Xue Feibai was about to ask Anuo about the next plan, he suddenly felt a warmth in his body, which felt extremely comfortable.

"I've reached level 4!"

Xue Feibai felt the changes in the power within his body and said excitedly.

Meng Xin then said that she had been promoted to level 4.

Both of them were level 3 before, and like Anno, they could only get 5 experience points when they participated in killing monsters of the same level.

However, there will be an experience bonus for levels that are higher than your own.

Killing a level 5 monster gives you 20 experience points!

Along the way, the two killed quite a few level 5 goblins, and with the four level 5 monsters they had just killed, they were able to level up.

Liu Rongrong and Geng Qingxue are progressing a little slower.

According to the information on the panel that Anno saw, Liu Rongrong was 200 experience points away from leveling up, and Geng Qingxue was 70 experience points away.

Based on the current situation, they should both reach level 4 within half an hour at most!

As for Anno, since his level was already 5, he could only gain a maximum of 5 experience points per kill, so he only gained 100 experience points in this short period of time!

I'm still 250 experience points away from breaking through to level 6!

However, although Anno did not level up, his strength did improve.

New monsters mean new summons.

Based on the characteristics of the ratmen, Anno classified them as thieves.

After replacing one of the goblins next to him, Anno now has five summons: 2 kobolds (melee), 1 ratman (scout), and 2 goblins (one spear goblin and one archer goblin).

It has already taken the shape of a team.

Xue Feibai, who was standing next to Anuo, looked at the ratmen that Anuo had summoned with envy.

He suddenly felt that his Berserker build wasn't as appealing anymore.

Anno is a team all by himself.

Moreover, as long as there is magic power, one can sustain oneself through battle and summon new creatures at any time.

In comparison, my talent can only be used when I'm injured, and each time I use it, it lowers my intelligence!

"The more severe the injury, the greater the Berserker's boost? It makes me sound like a masochist!"

Of course, Xue Feibai was only complaining to himself.

At least he has one talent!

Of all the professionals in Val'kam, Anno has yet to see a single one with exceptional talent.

Anno looked up at the position of the sun and judged that it was around four o'clock in the afternoon.

"The danger will increase after dark. Let's work for another hour, then we'll leave!"

No one objected to Anno's opinion, so the group began to secretly hunt monsters on the outskirts again.

Anno and his group of five were already a simple team, and now with the addition of a summoned creature squad, they could practically roam freely in the outer areas where there were no high-level monsters.

When the group arrived at the outskirts of the mine west of Gran Village, they dared not venture any further.

Here, trolls and kobolds appear in droves.

Given the current strength of the Anno team, once they go in, they won't be able to get out.

After marking the key points guarded by the monsters on the map, Anno led his men to hunt monsters in other directions.

An hour passed quickly, and Anno, without the slightest hesitation, led the group back, laden with spoils.

As night fell, bonfires were lit in the monster camps surrounding Gran Village.

Looking down from above, nearly a hundred bonfires formed a circle, surrounding Gran Village.

Meanwhile, at the mine west of Gran Village, the moving torches stretched like a long dragon, and a large number of monsters such as kobolds and goblins were going in and out of the mine entrance.

In Gran Village, the sound of blacksmithing can still be heard continuously.

The former council hall of Gran Village has now been occupied by a group of monsters.

"Squeak!"

A goblin, about 1.5 meters tall, walked out of the council hall.

Its left arm was wrapped in bandages, and it was thicker than its right arm.

Just as it was about to return to its den, a goblin suddenly came running over in a panic from a distance.

"My lord, my lord, all our brothers outside are dead!"

The goblin, addressed as "Adult," had a glint of shrewdness in his narrow eyes before leading hundreds of goblins to thoroughly search the surrounding hillside.
