"So… you ramd into it headfirst?"
When Drake arrived while riding the Shadow Queen Bee, he found the Shadow Eater twisting around pitifully into a mysterious lump-like shape.
On one side of the tunnel it had dug out was a magnificent hall built from dark-blue stone bricks.
As Drake approached, two prompts automatically appeared before his eyes.
This structure has been cursed by Skeletron. Recklessly going deeper will cause you to be hunted by it!
Skeletron can be summoned at night. Defeat it to remove the curse.
"So without the NPC who triggers the event, it just pops up as a prompt."
Drake glanced at the information and imdiately skipped over it.
He already knew all of this.
The surface part of this hall was only a single lonely building, but inside it was a long staircase leading underground.
Considering that Skeletron had not yet been defeated, exploring the Dungeon now was no different from seeking death.
Drake simply looted a few objects from the Dungeon entrance hall and walked back out.
As one of the best places in Terraria to farm monsters, even just the entrance area was already quite wealthy.
Drake collected so Books from the dusty bookshelves, which could be used as crafting materials.
Aside from that, he did not even let the blue candles burning on the walls go.
These were the famous monster-farming tools, Water Candles!
Water Candle — Blue RarityHolding this item or standing near it may attract unnecessary trouble.
To put it simply, within a certain range of a Water Candle, the spawn rate of creatures would increase.
This applied to both enemies and non-enemies.
Not only enemy monsters, but even neutral small animals would spawn more quickly.
According to Drake's mory, the increase was about thirty-three percent, which was already quite a significant boost.
If one wanted the most extre monster-farming efficiency, it could be combined with Battle Potions and the Calamity Mod's Zerg Potions to push creature spawn rates to the limit.
Water Candles could also be crafted manually, but they required the Crystal Ball, a crafting station only obtainable in Hardmode.
Before that, the only way to obtain Water Candles was to collect them from the Dungeon.
"Now that I have many Shadow Soldiers, Skeletron is no longer a threat."
Looking at the Dungeon hall covered by dark clouds, Drake silently thought,
"Why not kill Skeletron tonight…"
The Dungeon was a massive underground labyrinth made from sturdy bricks and stones.
Because it had its own unique monster system, it could also be considered a type of bio.
Aside from all kinds of undead monsters, the Dungeon also contained many chanisms and traps.
For example, deep pits filled with water and spikes, moving fireballs, floors that easily collapsed, and so on.
As for common traps such as pressure plates and poison dart chanisms, they were everywhere.
Although it was full of danger and crises, the treasures inside the Dungeon were extrely tempting.
Besides the fact that the monsters inside could provide very rich drops and loot, there were also many locked golden chests in the Dungeon environnt.
These chests were different from the chests normally encountered while exploring underground.
They required defeating Dungeon monsters and obtaining Golden Keys before they could be opened.
The rewards from locked chests were also different from ordinary gold chests. They contained unique Dungeon items.
Among them were the Muramasa Drake wanted, as well as the Shadow Key, which could open Shadow Chests in the Underworld.
Aside from that, there were also bio chests inside the Dungeon, which required keys from specific bios to open.
However, that was sothing for after Hardmode, so there was no need to ntion it for now.
"After defeating Skeletron, I'll also get a new world expansion slot."
"This ti, should I create a new Terraria world, or…"
Just as Drake was already considering what to do after defeating Skeletron, a flashing red prompt suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
A Goblin Army is approaching from the west!
"Goblin Invasion event?"
Drake raised an eyebrow, sowhat surprised.
However, there was no worry on his face. Instead, he looked rather pleased.
"I thought this thing wasn't coming."
"Looks like I can advance two important events today. Not bad."
The Goblin Army event was similar to the Blood Moon he had previously experienced in Tokonosu City.
Both were special events that caused monster attacks.
The difference was that the Blood Moon occurred at night, while the Goblin Invasion occurred during the day.
Aside from that, the Goblin Invasion also required certain conditions to be t.
First, there had to be no other ongoing event.
Second, at least one Shadow Orb had to have been destroyed.
Third, at least one player had to have used at least nine Life Crystals.
Drake had already fulfilled these three conditions not long ago when he defeated the Eater of Worlds.
However, the Goblin Invasion event was triggered by probability.
This was the first ti Drake had encountered it.
"Stop pretending to be wronged. We have work to do."
Drake beckoned to the Shadow Eater. The latter imdiately stretched out its body and drilled into his shadow.
After drinking a Recall Potion, Drake instantly teleported back to the base near the spawn point.
However, given its current scale, calling it a "stronghold" was no longer very appropriate.
It was more like a base.
Various buildings made from Laboratory Plating stood close together, even giving off a slightly sci-fi feeling.
Seeing Drake return, several girls in the base ca up to him one after another.
Judging from their expressions, they had probably also received the prompt that the Goblins were about to invade.
"No need to worry. I can handle it myself."
Drake's gaze swept across the girls one by one and found that all the high school girls from the Highschool of the Dead world were present.
On the other hand, the adult group, Shizuka Marikawa and her close friend Rika Minami, were not there.
"Where are Shizuka and the others?"
"Ah, Marikawa-sensei and Rika-san are still in Tokonosu City."
Rei Miyamoto seed to know the situation and imdiately said,
"They said they were going to sunbathe or sothing. Do we need to call them back?"
"She really knows how to enjoy herself…"
After thinking for a mont, Drake added,
"You girls should also go to Tokonosu City to sunbathe. It'll be more convenient for to handle things here alone."
"Saeko, help take care of their safety."
The Goblin Army would launch attacks from unexpected angles.
Although, with Drake's strength, dealing with a Goblin army alone would not be a problem.
If others were present, he might have to split his attention to take care of them.
"I shall certainly live up to your expectations."
Before leaving, Saeko suddenly moved closer and spoke in an ambiguous tone.
"If you have ti, could you help choose a swimsuit?"
"I am not very good at that kind of thing."
That was true.
If they were going to a place like the beach, they would naturally need to change into swimsuits.
An image of Saeko wearing a swimsuit imdiately appeared in Drake's mind.
Her already explosive figure matched with a few pieces of fabric that seed to both resist and invite…
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be done here soon."
Drake's eyes shone with firm motivation.
"I hope I can make it in ti to help you choose a swimsuit."
"Hehe… I will wait for you."
Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi, standing nearby, saw that Saeko still had not returned to Tokonosu City with them and also moved closer.
After hearing this conversation, they imdiately began denouncing the senior in front of them.
"Busujima-senpai is too sly! You actually tried to sneak ahead by yourself!"
"We also want Drake to choose swimsuits for us… right, Saya?"
"Huh? I-I'm fine with anything."
Looking at the pink-haired young lady lowering her head with a flushed face, Drake coughed lightly.
"Don't worry. Everyone gets a turn… There's no need to fight over it."
With the temptation of swimsuits, Drake beca much more serious about the upcoming Goblin Invasion event.
After sending the high school girls back to Tokonosu City, he directly summoned the boss-level Shadow Soldiers he had already subdued.
Shadow King Sli.
Shadow Eater.
Shadow Eye of Cthulhu.
Shadow Queen Bee.
As for the Desert Scourge…
Because it could only move in the desert, it was temporarily kicked out of the group chat.
After the countdown ended, a similar prompt flashed before Drake's eyes again.
The Goblin Army has arrived!
