Mutated Goblin Individual? Ready-Made Trap
The prepared traps advanced along the usual route. Apart from the normal sounds of birds, there wasn't much activity from ordinary wild animals in the forest.
"It's a bit quiet."
Tang Zheng took down the water bag from his hand, reattached it to his waist, and listened to the surrounding sounds.
His expression remained unchanged as he continued forward.
Now that he was sure he was being watched, he naturally needed to be more vigilant about the changes around him.
Huh? Tang Zheng's ears suddenly twitched. There was movement! Was that in the northwest direction? Tang Zheng pondered, but his feet didn't stop as he turned and approached the direction of the sound.
As the distance closed, the sound became clearer. It was the roar of wild beasts, mixed with the shouts of Goblins.
Soon!
A large number of Goblins appeared in Tang Zheng's field of vision.
A quick glance revealed that the number of Goblins reached more than 20!
At that moment, these twenty-plus Goblins were besieging a huge Black Bear.
"Roar!"
The Black Bear opened its bloody mouth, roaring as it tore at a Goblin.
The bloody scene didn't scare away the numerous Goblins around. Instead, it seemed to arouse the ferocity of the group.
They howled and screamed, constantly using crude weapons in their hands, even stones, to smash at the Black Bear.
After suffering nearly half of their numbers in casualties, the blood-soaked Black Bear finally fell to the ground! The remaining Goblins excitedly shouted as they lifted the Black Bear and headed into the depths of the forest.
The remaining Goblin corpses on the ground were casually dragged by the other Goblins, following along.
The Goblins who had just hunted the Black Bear together were now nothing more than food in the eyes of the surviving Goblins.
Tang Zheng stood behind a large tree, arms crossed, watching the direction the Goblins were leaving, a sneer suddenly appearing on his lips.
The direction the Goblins were heading clearly indicated the presence of a Goblin settlement.
"Is this the trap you've been preparing for days?"
"It's actually the same trap method?" Tang Zheng's eyes twitched.
How could he not understand now that the siege of the six Ogres he had encountered before was clearly a situation that arose when he was inadvertently led into a trap?
And now they were using the same method again.
Tang Zheng felt that he might have overestimated the intelligence of that Mutated Goblin Individual.
However!
The fact that it could influence Ogres meant that this special Goblin Individual was of great interest to Tang Zheng.
"I still haven't found the source. It's really cautious."
"If I don't let the other party completely relax, I'm afraid they won't reveal any flaws." Tang Zheng slightly raised his head and followed the Goblins.
As he went deeper.
Sure enough, a somewhat dilapidated Goblin settlement appeared ahead.
But Tang Zheng's focus was not on this Goblin settlement, but on the terrain of this area.
The terrain on both sides was obviously higher, which also caused the trees on the left and right sides to be significantly taller than the trees in other areas.
The two protruding hillocks created a narrow path for the Goblins to advance, forming a sunken gourd shape, with the Goblin settlement located inside. "They chose a good location."
"Letting this group of Goblins lead me into this kind of terrain, it will be difficult to escape as easily as last time if I get surrounded."
"No… that's not entirely true either."
Tang Zheng pretended to be oblivious and continued forward expressionlessly. "With the intelligence of ordinary Goblins, they obviously can't coordinate to do such complicated 'acting'."
"Are they planning to sacrifice this Goblin settlement? That's really ruthless."
Tang Zheng's eyes turned cold, and he sneered softly.
"Speaking of which, I still haven't fully adapted to this world. It's not just humans who possess intelligence."
"Some Demi-human races are just as intelligent as humans. If you treat them as creatures with little intelligence, you're bound to suffer."
"I need to shift my mindset a bit. I'm still subconsciously overlooking the fact that humans are a relatively weak group in this world."
Tang Zheng lightly shook his head, muttering to himself.
Since entering the Tove Great Forest, his route had been consistently heading east.
Once his general direction was clear, it would be easy to set up ambushes along the way behind him, something he hadn't initially considered.
Of course, the bigger reason was that the jungle environment was too complex, and it was easier to avoid getting lost if he kept his direction relatively fixed.
Behind him!
A figure had been trailing Tang Zheng from a distance, cautiously peeking out from the bushes.
Watching Tang Zheng enter the narrow jungle path, the green face, tense and somewhat timid, slowly relaxed.
That human was too strong.
The powerful Ogre was cleaved in two with a single strike. He had never seen such strength before.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen humans fighting Ogres, but usually it took several humans working together to kill a powerful Ogre.
"Damn human!"
"You actually killed so many children, daring to enter the great forest alone, I'll definitely... definitely make you pay."
The green figure squatted on the ground, its voice slightly shrill, filled with anger and resentment, clenching its fists as it muttered to itself.
If Tang Zheng heard this Goblin speaking, he would be incredibly surprised.
Under the Goblin's gaze, Tang Zheng had completely entered the narrow jungle path, and tiny black pupils immediately flashed with excitement and bloodlust.
The timid emotions faded.
The Goblin completely relaxed, stood up from the ground, and followed.
It had to watch this human die at the hands of the many Ogres.
His flesh must be delicious.
The Goblin thought of the uniquely sweet-smelling food he ate every morning, and couldn't help but lick the saliva from the corner of its mouth.
Meanwhile.
Tang Zheng advanced at a leisurely pace, stopping abruptly when he reached about halfway through the narrow jungle path.
Since it had been secretly following him all along, now that he had entered the prepared trap, it must have lowered its guard.
Then—
Without the slightest hesitation! Tang Zheng suddenly turned around, lifting his leg and moving.
This time, he didn't care about making a big commotion, but instead turned around and sprinted back with all his might, his eyes fixed on the jungle behind him.
At the same time!
"I see you!" Tang Zheng suddenly shouted.
Discovered First Order Magic "Camouflage", requires Magic Caster Level 1-7, current conditions met.
"Consume 1 Skill Point to learn?"
Found you!
Tang Zheng grinned as he saw the information refresh on the stat panel.
