Transaction? Tribe's Hero?
Agu?
Seeing that Great Goblin Mu Guo actually knew this newly appeared small Great Goblin, especially with that somewhat familiar name, Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, carefully sizing up the Great Goblin called Agu.
Agu of the Gick Tribe?
This was a minor character who appeared in the anime. Compared to the other Great Goblins who seemed dull and were only slightly smarter than ordinary Goblins, this Great Goblin named Agu displayed an intelligence level almost on par with normal humans.
Tang Zheng rarely looked at someone so seriously, discovering that apart from being younger, his appearance was no different from other Great Goblins.
He didn't appear as noticeably different as he did in the anime.
At least, Tang Zheng felt that all these Great Goblins looked pretty much the same.
Sha! Sha! At this moment, the two Great Goblins behind Agu also emerged from the bushes. Meeting Tang Zheng's cold, expressionless gaze, they felt a chill in their hearts and subconsciously took a step back.
"H-human," one of the stuttering Great Goblins said in a frightened tone.
The human before them was clearly so thin and weak! Not to mention compared to the Ogre adults, even the arms of young Ogre were thicker than this human's thighs. Yet, this human simply standing there caused goosebumps to rise on the stuttering Great Goblin's skin, as if he were facing the powerful Ogre adults he had only glimpsed from afar.
An inexplicable sense of fear arose in his heart.
"Lord! They are from our tribe."
Great Goblin Mu Guo lay on the ground, supporting himself on his shoulders, looking at Tang Zheng with fear. He swallowed hard, then spoke with extreme nervousness, "Not those inferior Goblins."
He was afraid that Tang Zheng would kill Agu and the others with a single sword, just as he had done with those inferior Goblins.
Agu tensed his legs and quickly knelt down, pressing his hands on the ground and heavily bowing his head into the decaying leaves.
"Human, Lord Human, we are from the Gick Tribe deep in the forest, not inferior Goblins."
Agu's voice trembled as he spoke with nervous stuttering, "Lord, we hope you can spare Great Goblin Mu Guo's life. We are willing to offer valuable things."
Agu's words also reminded the Great Goblins standing behind him.
The two Great Goblins hurriedly took off the huge wooden baskets they were carrying on their backs and placed them in front of them, then knelt down in a panic like Agu.
"Oh?"
Seeing the actions of these Great Goblins, Tang Zheng revealed a hint of surprise and amusement on his face. He turned his head to look at Great Goblin Mu Guo, who was lying on the ground, "It seems your status in your tribe is not low."
"Of course, Lord."
"I am a Hero in the tribe."
Hearing Tang Zheng's words, Great Goblin Mu Guo showed no sign of modesty. A proud expression appeared on his embarrassed green face.
Hero?
Tang Zheng chuckled, stepped forward, and his gaze fell on the two large wooden baskets placed in front of Agu.
One basket was filled with various herbs, many of which still had dried mud clinging to their roots, indicating they had been picked recently.
The other basket was filled with strangely shaped mushrooms, mostly blue ones, which looked very peculiar and seemed poisonous.
Herbs? Mushrooms? Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face, and looked at Agu, who was kneeling on the ground, "You are clever, even more so than I expected."
Although Tang Zheng didn't recognize these herbs and strange mushrooms, he knew that they must have been picked from deep within the Tove Great Forest.
Their value in the outside world would definitely be high.
However, for the Great Goblin tribe of the Gick Tribe living deep in the Tove Great Forest, these things were not necessarily highly valuable items.
This didn't mean that Agu was playing some trick.
On the contrary!
Agu, this Great Goblin, is very clear about what items are of high value in human society.
In reality, a group like the Gick Tribe, living deep in the forest and struggling to survive, wouldn't have anything that humans would value.
Most importantly, Agu's way of handling things is distinctly different from most Demi-humans. This kind of transaction is quite surprising.
This isn't just a matter of intelligence.
Agu didn't dare to look up upon hearing Tang Zheng's praise. It didn't know why this powerful human would suddenly praise it.
However, it was now clear that this human powerhouse seemed quite satisfied with the herbs it had given him! Phew—
Agu's tense nerves relaxed slightly. It felt that its guess was correct.
After hearing from those Goblins who had fled into the depths of the forest that Great Goblin Mu Guo had been captured but not killed by humans, Agu guessed that the human powerhouse was only hostile towards Goblins and not towards Great Goblins.
After all, in the eyes of Great Goblins, Goblins and Great Goblins are completely different species!
Thinking of this, Agu felt that since this human powerhouse liked the herbs in the forest, it might be able to use them to establish contact with him.
But... it didn't know if this human powerhouse was stronger, or the Ogre adults were stronger? The Ogre adults should be stronger.
Various thoughts floated in Agu's mind.
"What's the situation with the Ogres deep in the forest?" A faint voice came, falling into the ears of Agu, who was lying on the ground.
The sudden question made Agu subconsciously raise its head and look at Tang Zheng, who was standing not far in front, arms crossed, calmly looking down at it.
The tall figure made Agu's heart tremble.
It quickly lowered its head.
"L, Lord..."
Agu stammered, obviously not understanding the meaning of Tang Zheng's words.
"So many Goblins have died in the outer areas, and I've made quite a commotion during this time."
"Even you Great Goblins know about it, so those Ogres can't be unaware, right?"
Tang Zheng tapped his arm with a finger and asked.
He had very little information about the Ogres who ruled this area and lived deep in the forest, so he could get some information from Agu.
"They know, Lord."
Agu quickly spoke, recalling the scene when it went to ask for help. A sense of dejection and loss appeared on its face: "In the eyes of the Ogre adults, no matter how many Goblins there are, they are just cannon fodder. It doesn't matter how many die."
They don't care?
Tang Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.
During this time, he had been worried that the commotion he caused would attract the Ogres deep in the forest, so he tried to stay in the outermost areas.
Now, hearing Agu's answer, Tang Zheng suddenly realized that he had been too careful.
Thinking about it carefully, with the arrogant and conceited nature of those Ogres, they didn't even care about the Bone King who came to their door, and were even easily repelled twice by the Bone King, yet they still couldn't see the gap between them.
With such a rough nerve and personality, they really wouldn't care about the deaths of a large number of Goblins on the outskirts of the forest.
If only I had been more open.
Tang Zheng shook his head almost imperceptibly, then continued to ask, "Tell me about the situation deep in the forest, and everything about the Ogres."
At this time, Agu also heard that the human in front of him was asking about the Ogre adults.
Faced with the inquiry.
Agu not only didn't hide anything, but instead explained all the information he knew.
If possible!
He sincerely hoped that the human in front of him could solve the problem of those hateful Ogres.
After learning some more detailed information about the Ogres, a satisfied smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face.
A great harvest.
The next time he comes to the Tove Great Forest, he will be even more confident in dealing with those Ogres.
Tang Zheng raised his hand and waved it towards the two large wooden crates on the ground, storing them in his Item Box.
Agu cautiously raised his head, looking at the wooden crates that disappeared out of thin air, his round eyes couldn't help but widen, his face revealing a look of shock.
Disappeared? Amazing! Is it some kind of Magic Item ability?
