Chen Yao woke up, feeling that his exhausted body had finally recovered a bit.

Gobji and the others had returned, bringing back some of those herbs again.

But the quantity wasn't much.

To Chen Yao's surprise, they had also brought back some goblins.

Each one was in a sorry state and injured.

"What happened?" Chen Yao asked while eating the herbs.

"Leader, they're from other goblin tribes. Their tribe was destroyed by human adventurers."

"With nowhere to go, we met them on the road and brought them back!" Gobji explained.

"Human adventurers?"

Chen Yao suddenly recalled the female assassin from the night before last.

Could it be them again?

With such strong power, why were they targeting goblins?

Chen Yao felt a huge crisis slowly approaching, giving him an urge to leave immediately.

Those people were clearly after the goblins.

Being with these goblins only increased the danger.

"Strength!"

"I must increase my strength!"

Chen Yao's desire for power grew stronger, and he couldn't help but glance at the two young women.

The two young women were already numb, lying there motionless.

Chen Yao said to Gobji, "Those of you who aren't injured, go out and catch more demonic beasts for me!"

"Huh?"

Gobji was stunned.

Compared to demonic beasts, they still preferred humans.

After all, they could inherit some knowledge, and maybe even inherit magic and fighting spirit talents.

"What?"

"Is there a problem?" Chen Yao asked in surprise.

"No... no problem, Leader, your tastes are quite unique..." Gobji chuckled.

That green face looked even more hideous.

"You can catch humans too, I'm not picky!"

"Leader, you're amazing!"

The goblins exclaimed in admiration.

The leader was indeed the leader, so unrestrained.

"Hurry up and find as many as you can!" Chen Yao waved his hand.

"Yes!"

After sending the goblins away, Chen Yao approached the young women.

In their completely numb eyes, he directly grabbed their wrists.

The moment they made contact, the two young women widened their eyes in shock.

Because they were astonished to find that a surge of fighting spirit was flowing into their bodies, instantly restoring their strength.

Chen Yao didn't speak, focusing on absorbing the fighting spirit.

His strength skyrocketed, directly breaking through to level six, and even the wounds on his arms healed.

Only when the warm flow disappeared did Chen Yao release their hands and move his body.

"I've grown a bit taller, and my strength has increased!"

"Now, besides Shadow Step, I have Rapid Arrows, but no close combat skills. I should find a female warrior to dual cultivate!"

"Currently, my fighting spirit reserve is 60, allowing me to use Rapid Arrows six times and Shadow Step six times!"

"I have some self-defense ability now, as long as I don't encounter high-level monsters or high-level adventurers, I should be fine..."

This narrow escape made Chen Yao more cautious.

"Leader, we're back, look what we've brought you!"

Gobji's voice suddenly sounded from outside.

"So fast?"

Chen Yao hurried out and heard the sound of struggling from afar.

Looking closely, a group of goblins was carrying two female adventurers over.

They were tied up tightly, with cloth strips gagging their mouths.

Judging by their equipment, one was a warrior, and the other an archer.

"Great, just what I needed!"

Chen Yao was excited and immediately ordered them to put the women down.

The two female adventurers struggled violently in fear, but it was useless.

Chen Yao approached them, directly grabbing their wrists, and the fighting spirit instantly connected.

The two young women froze, staring in disbelief.

What was this feeling?

Why... why was there a continuous flow of fighting spirit?

Chen Yao absorbed their fighting spirit, advancing to level eight in one go!

He also acquired the warrior skill, Charge!

And the archer skill, Long Sight.

"Not enough!"

"Still not enough!"

"Did you catch any other demonic beasts?" Chen Yao asked.

"Well... we ran into these two as soon as we went out, so we brought them back for you, didn't have time to catch others..."

"Never mind, just keep an eye on them, and don't let anyone move!"

"I'll be back!"

"Yes..."

As the leader, he had absolute authority.

As long as Chen Yao didn't speak, the other goblins wouldn't dare move.

"These four women can be used for training again tomorrow, maybe I'll break through to level 10!"

Chen Yao wasted no time, his figure flashing as he dashed into the dense forest.

A group of goblins watched in awe, unable to react for a long time.

"My god, our leader is truly powerful, was that a human skill just now?" a goblin asked.

"Definitely!"

"Our choice was right, with a leader like this, we can surely strengthen the tribe and lead the goblins to glory!"

Gobji raised his hand, shouting boldly.

A group of goblins cheered happily behind him.

They seemed to see a bright future where goblins ruled the Great Forest.

Chen Yao used Long Sight, unexpectedly combining it with Eagle Eye.

He could see ants clearly from a thousand meters away.

"Great, with this skill, I can find prey more easily!"

"Hmm?"

"Is that a bunch of slimes?"

Without a word, Chen Yao charged over.

This seemed to be a slime nest, with thousands of slimes.

Without hesitation, Chen Yao pounced.

The slimes were startled, jumping up to counterattack.

Then they felt a surge of energy entering their bodies, and they completely lost their hostility.

The higher Chen Yao's level, the faster his training speed.

Previously, absorbing slimes took over ten minutes.

But now it was done in an instant.

The fighting spirit absorbed was negligible to him now.

However, adhering to the principle that even a fly's leg is meat, Chen Yao didn't let any slime go.

He trained with all of them.

Hundreds of slimes all bowed to Chen Yao's short legs.

"Let's go, continue hunting!"

A goblin, leading hundreds of slimes, rampaged through the forest.

Male demonic beasts were killed on sight, then devoured by the slimes.

Female ones were pounced on by Chen Yao, who absorbed their fighting spirit.

Every demonic beast that experienced Chen Yao's benefits obediently joined this large troop.

In half a day, the number exceeded over a thousand.

Including slimes, uni-rabbits, some demon wolves, and even a lesser demon bear.

These demonic beasts, lacking much intelligence, couldn't resist Chen Yao's ability.

When Chen Yao returned to the goblin nest, he had reached level nine!

The demonic beasts willing to follow him numbered over 2,000.

The goblins were dumbfounded.

Their new leader was truly...

Incredible!
