Before sunset, the Goblin Shrine, Campfire, and Tower were all built. The Goblin Slaves, who were crying after being hit by whips, had even repaired the damaged walls. They all looked at Xiao Yu, afraid that this Goblin tyrant would kill them in a rage.

Good. The players would not come over here at night for leveling, hence he should go to the shrine and pray to see if he could learn a new spell or something. After all, that was what Xiao Yu wanted to see the most.

He ordered his men to guard their posts and brought a Goblin Slave to the Goblin Shrine.

Although it was called a shrine, it was actually a small tower built of wood and stone. The construction technology was very poor. There was a red stone statue with a very weird shape placed in the hall of the tower. It looked very abstract—30% like a human and 70% like a red ice cream cone.

Xiao Yu thought. “What kind of god is this? The Goblin race is feeble enough, and even the god they believe in is so weird. But anyway, it’s still a god. Whether I can have a bright future in the camp depends on today.”

As he thought this, Xiao Yu knelt down in front of the statue and began to pray. The process of praying was very simple—he only had to use the praying skill of the shrine and offer sacrifices. However, in order to make everything perfect, Xiao Yu spoke to the air in a formal way and then lifted the poor Goblin Slave to the altar in front of the statue.

The sacrifice could be animals too, but it was not easy to catch one in the middle of the night. Because these Goblin Slaves had become useless for now, Xiao Yu had just grabbed one to use as a sacrifice. It seemed that the Goblins believed in Ahriman, since sacrifice was needed. While Xiao Yu was thinking, the body of the Goblin Slave was ignited with a flame all of a sudden. The flame quickly burned from the inside out. Soon, the Goblin Slave was burnt to ashes as he screamed. Xiao Yu was shocked.

With the disappearance of the flame, the red statue was on fire. Xiao Yu suddenly felt that the statue looked familiar as it burned.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.

Carax (Unknown Creature) asked, “Tiny Goblin, are you summoning me?”

Carax? Why was this name so familiar? Wait a minute, wasn’t that the Demonic Blaze Overlord that lived at the Lava Mountains? When he associated this with how the Goblin Slave was burnt to death, he was pretty certain about it.

Xiao Yu was speechless. He knew this Carax. Like him, he was a Demonic Blaze Overlord of the Fire Elemental Plane. However, he was not a player, hence there was barely any communication between them.

Here we have to introduce the level differences of Elemental Creatures. The lowest level was the Elemental Spirit, the newly born units like the small Goblins, and they were only level 1.

After completing the trial, Elemental Spirits could advance to normal Elemental Creatures, such as Fire Elementals, Molten Golems, and Flame Lizardmen. At this stage, they were still in the normal Summoned Creature Mode. After some progression, they could advance to Flame Elemental and Rage Molten Golem, which belonged to the Elite Mode (Summoned Creatures had no Rare Elite Mode).

Most of the progression of Elemental Creatures ended here, but if they were lucky enough to accomplish some amazing events, they could advance to strong, giant monsters such as Fire Elemental Elder, Magma Giant, and Flame Lizardman Elder, which belonged to the Boss Mode. Of course, they were only normal small Bosses, which could be regarded as the main Boss in a five-man dungeon. But in 40-man team dungeons, they were only small elite monsters.
