"Woof..."
A beast's low growl came from the bushes not far away.
"Lord, lord, there's something there."
Great Goblin Muguoguo's drooping ears twitched, and he hurriedly spoke, somewhat flustered.
Tang Zheng raised his head, looked in the direction of the bushes, and got up to walk over.
He parted the bushes with his Iron Sword.
A small Evil Spirit Dog, its fur dark and trembling all over, was lying on the ground with fear in its beastly eyes. Sensing Tang Zheng's gaze, it trembled incessantly with fright.
This Small Evil Spirit Dog was only about fifty centimeters in size, which was not small for humans, but compared to a normal Evil Spirit Dog that was more than three meters long, it was clearly just a cub.
"Lord, it's just a Small Evil Spirit Dog."
"No wonder the cunning Great Evil Spirit Dog didn't run away even after seeing your powerful strength, my lord."
Great Goblin Muguoguo immediately lost his flustered look and spoke obsequiously.
Tang Zheng sized up the Small Evil Spirit Dog.
Its fur was dark all over, and except for a Bone Chain wrapped around its body, it was similar to a black puppy from his previous life.
However, its appearance was a bit too ferocious, and with the small horn protruding from its forehead, it looked a bit like a sheep from the front.
"It's really ugly."
Tang Zheng glanced at it, withdrew his gaze, said indifferently, and turned to leave.
Rustle!
He had only taken a few steps when Tang Zheng heard a sound from the bushes behind him. The Small Evil Spirit Dog had actually crawled out of the bushes.
Tang Zheng originally didn't plan to care. Killing a Small Evil Spirit Dog that posed no threat and didn't offer much experience was meaningless to him.
But he didn't expect that it would actually follow him.
Tang Zheng paused, turned his head, and looked expressionlessly at the Small Evil Spirit Dog that was cautiously and tremblingly following him.
"What, do you want to avenge your parents?"
"Woof..."
The Small Evil Spirit Dog immediately lay on the ground, then flipped over, exposing its belly, with its limbs spread out in the air.
Seeing the Small Evil Spirit Dog's action, a surprised look appeared on Tang Zheng's face. "What does this mean?"
"It means submission."
"This Small Evil Spirit Dog wants to follow you, my lord!"
Goblin Mu Guo hurriedly explained, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as he looked at the Small Evil Spirit Dog.
What surprised him wasn't the Small Evil Spirit Dog's behavior, but that he didn't expect it to be so clever.
Hmph, what a discerning fellow. The lord is a true powerhouse! Hearing Great Goblin Muguoguo's explanation, Tang Zheng was slightly surprised. "Didn't I just kill its parents?"
As soon as he said this, Great Goblin Muguoguo was a little puzzled, and said in a puzzled tone, "Is that strange? Isn't it natural to serve a strong person?"
Tang Zheng glanced at Great Goblin Muguoguo in silence.
He suddenly felt that he had overestimated the moral standards of the Great Goblin race.
No wonder.
Great Goblin Muguoguo was becoming more and more like a lackey.
...
The bloody smell emanating from the corpses of the two Evil Spirit Dogs spread around with the passage of time, attracting many Magical Beasts that smelled the scent.
However! If it were a month ago, it probably wouldn't be long before many Magical Beasts would be attracted to appear and eat the corpses clean.
But now!
The beasts that smelled this bloody scent not only had no intention of approaching, but instead moved further away in surprise and uncertainty.
For some time now, the faint, rich bloody smell in the jungle had never dissipated. All the beasts knew that anyone who rashly went there would only become one of the many corpses.
However!
Rustle, rustle—
The branches and leaves swayed, and the sound of fallen leaves being crushed constantly rang out.
Three figures cautiously poked their heads out from behind the bushes, and after discovering that there were only two Evil Spirit Dog corpses and no one else, they emerged from the grass.
These three figures consisted of one small figure and two that were much stronger and taller. At the same time, these two figures each carried a large grass basket on their backs.
It was the three from the Great Goblin Gick Tribe! The bloody smell in the air didn't attract the beasts in the forest, but instead attracted the three of them.
After Agu confirmed that there was no danger, he jumped out of the grass as quickly as possible, looked at the corpses of the two Evil Spirit Dogs, and a look of shock appeared on his face. Then, he seemed to think of something.
He quickly ran forward to check the two Evil Spirit Dog corpses.
The two Great Goblins following behind saw this scene and hurriedly ran forward, obviously worried about Agu's safety.
"W-what, what did you find, Agu?" The Great Goblin stuttered, cautiously speaking while observing the surrounding environment.
"In this area, only Ogres can threaten Evil Spirit Dogs."
"But the injuries on these two Evil Spirit Dogs were not caused by Ogres. The long Bone Chains on them are also gone, and this isn't something that the beasts and Magical Beasts in the forest like to eat."
Agu's tone was filled with surprise as he said, "It's that human; we've finally found him."
The other Great Goblin looked at the Evil Spirit Dog corpses, his eyes filled with fear and dread: "Agu, do we really have to go find that human?"
"He even killed such powerful Magical Beasts like Evil Spirit Dogs; we're no match for him."
Agu stood up. Although he was much younger, he was far more composed than the two Great Goblins.
"We must find Great Goblin Muguoguo, even if it's just a corpse."
"Great Goblin Muguoguo is carrying the tribe's treasure."
Agu said seriously.
Hearing the words "tribe's treasure," the emotions of the other two somewhat frightened Great Goblins finally stabilized.
"That human shouldn't have left long ago." Agu reached out and touched the already darkened blood on the ground, licked it, and said with shining eyes.
Gulu~
Gugu~
Suddenly, the sound of rumbling stomachs came from the bellies of the other two Great Goblins.
Agu was stunned and turned to look at the two tribesmen who were staring at the Evil Spirit Dog corpses, constantly swallowing their saliva.
"Don't waste such precious food." Agu hesitated for a moment and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two Great Goblins immediately howled excitedly and began tearing at the flesh and blood of the Evil Spirit Dogs.
Agu naturally joined in as well.
As he had just said, they usually couldn't deal with or enjoy Magical Beasts like Evil Spirit Dogs.
Even if they were lucky enough to see the bones of an Evil Spirit Dog, it would be in the caves of the Ogre adults.
The sound of raw flesh being swallowed rang out in the forest.
...
Evening.
The visibility distance in the jungle was decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Tang Zheng also stopped scouring the forest for prey and stopped near a relatively tall tree.
Experience Bar: 9382/9500
He glanced at the stats page. After an afternoon of effort, the experience had increased by another small section.
"Still 118 experience points short."
"If nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, I can level up."
Tang Zheng took a breath of the cool, earthy air, and his mood became much more cheerful.
