"You... you all stay back..."

The three female adventurers trembled uncontrollably, their bodies shaking with fear.

The consecutive deaths of their comrades had pushed their terror to the extreme.

Chen Yao rode out on the Demon Wolf, sneering coldly, "What are you waiting for? Capture them for me."

"Gah gah!"

The Goblins screeched as they rushed forward.

Though a few were killed, they eventually managed to pin the three women to the ground.

They grabbed their hands and feet, rendering them immobile.

"Ah... what do you want to do, let me go..."

They struggled violently, but it was all in vain.

Chen Yao dismounted the Demon Wolf and walked over step by step.

His ugly face was plastered with a sinister grin.

The three female adventurers were even more terrified, having heard of the fate that awaited women captured by Goblins.

Two of them were so frightened they lost control, bursting into tears.

Chen Yao showed no pity, walking straight up to them.

Under their horrified gazes, he grabbed the wrists of two of them.

???

The three female adventurers and the Goblins were all dumbfounded.

They couldn't figure out what Chen Yao was doing.

The two female adventurers widened their eyes in shock, looking at Chen Yao in disbelief.

They felt a warm current flowing into their bodies through their wrists, instantly restoring their depleted Fighting Spirit.

Chen Yao also gained immense benefits, immediately breaking through to level 15.

Moreover, he absorbed two Light Orbs.

Chen Yao didn't have time to check, immediately rushing to the third woman.

As soon as he grabbed her, her screams abruptly stopped, and she looked at him in disbelief.

Chen Yao didn't bother with her, quickly absorbing the energy.

Then he waved his hand.

"Retreat!"

"Take them back, and no one is to touch them without my orders, or you'll die!"

"Yes!"

The Goblins had long revered Chen Yao as a deity and would never defy his orders.

In the tribe, the leader's word was law, with absolute authority.

All women needed to be distributed by the leader.

If the leader didn't distribute them, they couldn't reproduce.

The Goblins not only had no complaints but worked even harder.

A typical slave mentality.

This was inevitable; the Goblins' physical condition determined their value.

They were meant to be slaves.

Unless a great Goblin emerged, this cycle would continue forever.

Chen Yao had no intention of being their hero; his only goal was to survive.

He had no affection for these Goblins; if they died, so be it.

They couldn't enhance his strength, after all.

In his eyes, these Goblins were inferior even to Slimes.

Chen Yao led a group of Demonic Beasts in a swift retreat, riding on the Demon Wolf as he began to check the skills he had acquired.

"Assassin Skill, Triple Thrust!"

"An advanced version of Piercing, usable only above level 10."

Its power is three times that of Piercing, capable of penetrating three vital points of a target almost instantaneously.

Even if the opponent defends two points, missing one is fatal.

"Scout Skill, Listen to the Wind!"

After activation, it greatly enhances hearing, an essential skill for reconnaissance.

"Shieldmaster Skill, Golden Fortress!"

"Getting three skills at once, not bad!"

Chen Yao was very pleased; if only there were a Magician.

If he could replicate magic, he would fear no one.

Just as he approached the tribe, he suddenly heard the sounds of battle.

"Something's wrong!"

Chen Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he channeled Fighting Spirit into his eyes to look at the tribe.

He found the tribe engulfed in flames, with countless adventurers slaughtering wildly.

The Goblins and Demonic Beasts left behind couldn't hold them off, and corpses littered the ground.

"They found us so quickly, we need to retreat immediately!"

Chen Yao felt a pang of regret, as there were still some spoils left there.

With so many Demonic Beasts, he could have absorbed some damage.

But there was no time to think about that now; he had to run.

A quick glance revealed that there were over a hundred adventurers attacking the tribe.

Charging in now would be suicidal.

"Speed up, run!"

Chen Yao ordered, leading the group deeper into the Kela Great Forest.

Only the depths were the safest now.

However, their group was too large and was soon discovered.

"Hahaha, who would've thought there'd be so many Goblins here, everyone charge!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Figures emerged from the forest, all human adventurers.

They wore black leather armor, their faces covered with black cloth.

Backpacks on their backs, holding two daggers in their hands.

All of them were Scouts.

Their senses were exceptionally sharp, hearing the commotion from afar, and a sniff confirmed the presence of Goblins.

Scouts excelled in reconnaissance, probing intelligence, and tracking.

"Stop them!"

Chen Yao pointed, and all the Demonic Beasts charged forward.

He squeezed his legs, riding the Demon Wolf and fleeing.

The sounds of battle echoed behind him, and the hundreds of Demonic Beasts managed to hold them off.

"Hehe, you're quite clever, sending your subordinates to die while you escape?"

Suddenly, a sinister laugh came from behind, and a figure shot forward like lightning.

His speed was astonishing, and the daggers in his hands drew two arcs, slashing at Chen Yao.

Chen Yao rolled off the Demon Wolf, tumbling to the ground.

With a howl, the Demon Wolf's blood sprayed, its body uncontrollably crashing to the ground.

It couldn't even stand up.

The Scout's attack had directly taken down the Demon Wolf.

"You... you're not a novice adventurer?!"

Chen Yao was shocked, hurriedly drawing his short sword and gripping his shield.

"Hahaha, who would've thought a Goblin like you could be so impressive!"

"Of course, I'm not a novice adventurer. To be honest, I've already broken through to level 20."

"But I happened to return home to visit family these past two days!"

"I didn't expect to encounter such a good opportunity, one Goblin for one silver coin, and the leader is even more valuable!"

"I see you're a leader, right? Killing you now would earn me dozens of silver coins!"

"Prepare to die!"

The Scout sneered, charging at Chen Yao like lightning.

Chen Yao steeled himself, using the newly acquired skill.

Golden Fortress!

Though the small shield in his hand didn't cover much, it was still larger than a Warrior's defense area.

Surging Fighting Spirit flowed into the shield, instantly releasing a large Light Shield.

The level 20 Scout never expected the opponent to use human skills.

He had positioned himself perfectly, never imagining the shield would expand.

He crashed right into it.

"Boom!"

The Scout felt his head spin, shocked!

He quickly retreated.

"Slash!"

A flash of sword light cut through, slicing open his clothes.

Luckily, he dodged quickly, or he would've been injured.

"My God, am I seeing things? You... you can use skills?"

"You're actually a special type, it seems the employer's target is you!"

"If I capture you, I'll be set for life!"

The Scout wasn't worried but delighted, activating Shadow Step in an instant, stepping to Chen Yao's back.

The sharp dagger aimed straight for Chen Yao's neck.

Chen Yao moved his feet, dodging the attack instantly.

"Shadow Step?"

The Scout was utterly shocked, never expecting this guy to even know Shadow Step.

What the hell kind of monster is this?!
