Chapter 18 – Upgrade, grow!

Goblin Tribe.

Three hundred goblins armed with various weapons were on high alert.

Recently, so many goblins had died.

Naturally, they dared not let their guard down.

So when Chen Yao's team approached, they were immediately spotted by the enemy's sentries.

The alarm bells rang loudly.

Countless goblins rushed out from caves and tents.

They climbed up the tall wooden walls, drew their bows, and were ready to fight at any moment.

Then they saw a large horde of demonic beasts swarming towards them, and their faces turned even greener with fear.

Wait!

Goblins' faces were green to begin with.

Now they were even greener.

"How could there be such a large force? Even if they're all low-level monsters, it's still impossible..."

The tribe leader, Gobujia, stroked his big nose.

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

His ugly face was filled with shock.

The other goblins were equally bewildered. They had lived here for so long and had never seen such a large force.

Those slimes, uni-rabbits, and four-eared cats had no intelligence and couldn't possibly unite like this.

What on earth was going on?

Just as they were in shock, a goblin riding a demon wolf slowly emerged from the beast horde.

He raised his chin high, his face full of arrogance.

"Listen up, goblins inside! Open the gates and surrender immediately, and from now on, you will belong to me, your new leader!"

"I might even spare your lives."

"Is he a goblin too?"

Gobujia scrutinized Chen Yao, growing more and more shocked.

They were using demon wolves as mounts? How was this possible? Why was this happening?

"Did you hear me? Open the gates and surrender, or I'll attack!" Chen Yao shouted angrily.

"Where do you come from, goblin, to dare shout here?"

"From what you're saying, you're the leader of this beast horde?" Gobujia was filled with doubt.

He couldn't believe a mere goblin could command so many demonic beasts.

Especially with a demon wolf.

Unless there were even more powerful beasts behind him, this was impossible.

"Of course!"

"Didn't you see they're all listening to me?"

"I advise you to be sensible. If you don't want to die, surrender quickly. As long as you obey my orders in the future, I won't treat you poorly!"

Chen Yao put on a commanding air.

If he could win them over with words, it would save him the trouble of fighting.

"You're full of it!"

"You're just a little goblin. How could you get a demon wolf to be your mount?"

"Is there another beast behind you? I want to see it!" Gobujia shouted angrily.

"You dare doubt my strength?"

Chen Yao sneered.

"Do you dare come down and fight me one-on-one?"

"If I win, your entire tribe will follow me. If I lose, I'll acknowledge you as the leader!"

"And all these beasts will obey you!"

"Fine!"

Gobujia, able to rule over 300 goblins, was no ordinary goblin.

He was burly, taller than the average goblin by two heads.

He wielded a spiked club and a wooden shield, wearing leather armor.

He looked mighty and imposing.

"Open the gates, you lot!"

"Let me go out and twist his head off to use as a ball!"

The goblins cheered and praised their leader's might.

The gates creaked open.

Gobujia walked out with a swagger, directly facing Chen Yao.

"Come down and fight if you have the guts. What's the point of sitting on a demon wolf?" Gobujia shouted.

Chen Yao jumped off the demon wolf, drawing a short sword and shield from his back.

Standing before Gobujia, he said arrogantly, "If you can last one round against me, I'll admit defeat!"

"What an arrogant brat!"

"Die!"

Gobujia was enraged, charging forward with a roar.

Chen Yao looked on with disdain.

Warrior Skill.

Charge!

"Boom!"

With a loud crash.

Gobujia was sent flying.

His body smashed through the gate like a cannonball, shattering it.

He landed on the ground, blood spraying from his body, beyond saving.

All the beasts were stunned, and their side was completely dumbfounded.

"Hahaha, now you see the might of your new leader! Kneel before me!"

Chen Yao roared, his voice like thunder.

The 300 goblins inside were instantly intimidated.

Their weapons fell to the ground, and they prostrated themselves one by one.

Showing submission.

"Long live the leader!"

The goblins on Chen Yao's side shouted to the sky.

Including the demon wolves, uni-rabbits, and four-eared cats.

All of them were shouting non-stop.

Oh, right.

Even the slimes.

They were making 'wahoo, wahoo' sounds.

Aside from being cute, they had no imposing presence.

So Chen Yao said, "You better stop shouting!"

Having successfully subdued 300 goblins, Chen Yao's team grew even larger.

However, he didn't become complacent but rather more cautious.

"All of you, get moving. Set as many traps as you can in the forest!"

"When you encounter demonic beasts, kill all the males!"

"Bring all the females back to me!"

The goblins looked at each other but dared not defy Chen Yao's orders.

They responded and split up to carry out the tasks.

Then Chen Yao went to the leader's room, where a dozen human women were imprisoned.

There were both adults and children.

Adults were in their forties or fifties, while the youngest was only about ten.

They were all disheveled and covered in scars.

But their faces were numb, long accustomed to the goblins' torment.

Chen Yao ignored everything else; the most important thing now was survival.

Those human adventurers would surely come for revenge, and he needed absolute self-defense capabilities before they arrived!

So he grabbed their wrists without hesitation and began dual cultivation.

The women's numb expressions suddenly changed, looking at Chen Yao in disbelief.

Chen Yao didn't care about them, frantically absorbing the power within them.

By the time the process was complete, Chen Yao had reached level 14.

He even absorbed a light orb from one of the women!

Warrior Skill, Horizontal Slash!

"Who would've thought there were adventurers here?"

The woman looked at Chen Yao in shock, incredulous.

What was going on with this goblin? Just a brief contact, and her fighting spirit had returned?

Though not fully restored, not enough to break free from the chains and escape.

But it made her feel much better.

What was going on?

Could this goblin be a human in disguise, here to rescue her?

Chen Yao turned and left, beginning to circulate his fighting spirit throughout his body, nourishing his physique.

At this moment, in his dantian, the fighting spirit had formed a thin mist.

It swirled and flowed within his dantian, incredibly mystical.

...

Meanwhile.

The Adventurers' Guild in Tim Town had issued a mission to exterminate goblins.

As long as you brought back a goblin's left ear, you could exchange it for a silver coin!

With this task announced, adventurers below level 10 went wild.

Even those who preferred to work alone started looking for teams.

They formed temporary squads and entered the Kela Great Forest.

Hunting goblins.

One goblin for one silver coin.

Enough for them to live lavishly for seven or eight days.

If they were a bit frugal, they could last a month.

"Poor little creatures, you don't know who you've offended, but now you're being hunted to extinction!"

"For the sake of our adventurers' good life, offer up your lives!"

The adventurers turned into wolves, frantically hunting goblins.

For a time.

All the goblins in the Great Forest suffered.

Countless were killed or injured.
