"I wonder if the Goblin Wolf Cavalry that I intentionally spared just now will be able to successfully send a message and bring troops to besiege me."
Zhang Yanhang was indeed looking forward to being besieged, but he was more excited about what good things might come out of the treasure box dropped by the Goblin Wolf Cavalry.
After releasing the Death Wave Skill, Zhang Yanhang had landed on the ground and was quietly waiting for the treasure box to refresh.
Yes, this is also a drawback of the Flying Technique, as he still needed to return to the ground to pick up a treasure box since Zhang Yanhang hadn’t eaten the rubber fruit and couldn’t extend his arms.
As for whether Mage’s Hand could help Zhang Yanhang pick up a treasure box? It technically could, but it was rather slow; after all, the original purpose of Mage’s Hand was simply to assist the mage with menial tasks, such as passing materials or a magic scroll.
Thus, for this Zero Ring Magic, even with an enhancement from the Intelligence Attribute, expecting it to undertake the task of picking up treasure boxes was really too much; it simply wasn’t within its capabilities.
For instance, if Zhang Yanhang were picking up treasures boxes himself, he could collect four or five scattered boxes in just one or two seconds.
But the Mage’s Hand was not as effective; its flight speed couldn’t match Zhang Yanhang’s movement speed, and it took several seconds just to pick up one box, taking at least a dozen seconds in total—it was too slow.
Therefore, using Mage’s Hand to pick up treasure boxes would severely affect Zhang Yanhang’s hunting efficiency, to the extent that the time spent picking up boxes would surpass the time spent slaying monsters, which was clearly not beneficial.
This was also one of the secondary reasons Zhang Yanhang did not particularly like using the Flying Technique.
After standing still and waiting for a few seconds, treasure boxes emitting a green light appeared suddenly on the bodies of four Goblin Wolf Cavalries.
"Sixty Goblin Wolf Cavalties dropped four Green treasure boxes; besides the three that would normally drop, there should be an additional one dropped by the first Goblin Wolf Cavalry I killed, seeing this is the first time I’ve killed a Goblin Wolf Cavalry."
As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he quickly picked up the four green treasure boxes and immediately ran towards the corpses of the Big Saber Goblin and Goblin Spear Thrower, where other treasure boxes had refreshed.
In addition to the four boxes dropped by the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, eight more Green quality treasure boxes had refreshed at other positions within the coverage of the Death Wave, most of which came from the Big Saber Goblin, with only one from the Goblin Spear Thrower.
After spending less than a minute to pick up all the treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang reassessed the direction and then left the middle layer area of Goblin Plain, heading towards the outer zone planned in the second-tier clearing strategy.
He was now only six square kilometers away from completely clearing the fifty square kilometers planned in the second stage; it should take just another half hour of effort to completely finish the second stage of the Goblin Plain clearing plan and rest a little.
After half an hour, Zhang Yanhang stood emotionlessly on a small hill, using the Six Roots Pure Soul Passage Spear to shoot at the Big Saber Goblins below.
[Successfully killed First Tier One Star Monster ’Big Saber Goblin (Elite)’ ×1, Soul points +6.]
After confirming that all the Big Saber Goblins below had died, Zhang Yanhang stood still for a few seconds, picked up all the treasure boxes, and then directly turned and walked towards a small forest composed of a dozen large trees and a few shrubs behind the hill.
In the center of this small forest was the final target of Zhang Yanhang’s second-stage clearing plan, which was the Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box.
Previously, at the Lucky Slot Machine anchor point, Zhang Yanhang had successfully arrived at the target in just over half an hour, but this time, it took him more than four hours of hard work to reach the target, a completely different level of difficulty.
Looking at the Golden Big Treasure Box floating in the center of the small forest, Zhang Yanhang immediately began checking its Attribute list, or his own evaluation list.

"I have already successfully cleared the fifty-square-kilometer area planned in the second stage of the Goblin Plain, in addition to the ten square kilometers from the first stage. So I have cleared an area of sixty square kilometers.
Despite nearly reaching 55% of the total area of Goblin Plain, the completion rate is only 48.3%. It seems that the value of the monsters in the subsequent second tier is quite high; otherwise, the completion rate would definitely reach fifty percent or more." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelꜰire.net
Zhang Yanhang had always thought that after completing the second-stage clearing plan, his completion rate would at least be above fifty percent, but unexpectedly, it was still short of fifty percent by 1.7%.
