2:30 in the afternoon.
Bam!!!
Whoos.h.!.+
In the middle of a dense forest, a reverberating sound could be heard occasionally. It was followed by faint trembling of the ground as the tall trees reeled by it. Every time the sound occurred, agonizing cries of an unidentified creature echoed around in the forest, as though some evil creature was enthusiastically enjoying its meal.
Guaghk!...
[You"ve defeated the Goblin Keeper!]
As the system notified him, the level 7 goblin keeper"s corpse slowly fell on the ground with a thud. It has a long horizontally wound on its belly, showing it"s slimy green fresh blood along with its gus.h.i.+ng organ. It has almost the same appearance of a goblin merely, the difference in height, which had a height of 2-meters tall.
Other than that, it"s wearing a leather chest armor, common grade club and loincloth around its private part. Normally, goblins simply wear crude items.
Kneeling down before the corpse, Kim s.h.i.+n reached out his right hand, and immediately dismantled it. Then, as the corpse disintegrated into thin air, the system"s voice instantly rang in his mind.
Ding!
[You"ve obtained Goblin Keeper"s Skin x3]
[You"ve obtained Basic Health Potion x1]
[You"ve obtained Goblin Keeper"s Fine Club]
[You"ve obtained a Key]
"Got ya!" Kim s.h.i.+n couldn"t stop himself from exclaiming in his mind when he heard the mechanical female voice of the system"s last word. Opening his inventory, he immediately looked at the details of the final item.
[Key]
Grade: Special
Details:
[ A special key necessary to open one of the dungeons where the Goblin King hid his artifacts ]
This is the item, Kim s.h.i.+n was searching, and hoping to obtain the first time he arrived in the Cavethy Town. Except in his intention to raise his level, this item was a goal in his mind.
This key was previously obtained by a simple individual or let"s say one of the boar fangs brotherhood slaves. Discovering this item, that individual tried to negotiate with brotherhood. He will hand the key if the brotherhood hand back his freedom and his family. That person was apparently certain that, the brotherhood has no choice but, to comply with his demand. However, contrary to his expectation, the brotherhood used an underhanded method to let him hand the key willingly to them.
And I think you could already guess what happened.
Thus, after obtaining the key, the brotherhood used all their resources just to find the dungeon. Despite that, they couldn"t find it until they met a disaster, the guild was utterly defeated. They were annihilated.
And that was the day Kim s.h.i.+n got his freedom back.
Then, after that, the key was obtained by the guild who destroyed the brotherhood. Then, later the guild eventually discovered the dungeon, and that guild instantly raised from rankings.
Hence, without even knowing why a low-level monster had it, and the things inside that dungeon, Kim s.h.i.+n didn"t think twice to search the item.
Now, his problem was the whereabouts of the dungeon. Although he already has a clue, it"s not the perfect time to look for it. He needs to be stronger without relying on items.
Thus, fighting powerful enemies and obtaining experience is his primary goal. Since, he knew that it"s impossible to achieve his goal by relying on items. Therefore, he must raised his level first.
Click!
Closing his inventory, Kim s.h.i.+n then looked around his surroundings. The place was devastated, broken trees on the ground, crater, goblins, gray wolves corpses.
The scene was akin to a terrorist ma.s.sacre, as though an evil creature had fun, and killed everybody in his sight.
"It seems I overdo it again…" He mumbled subtly as he recalled the horde of monsters earlier. He doesn"t have a bit of an idea about that horde. The plausible reason by that is, he"s already late when he arrived in the town back then.
The brotherhood must be already cleared the horde for ages before they found them in the yggdramereans village.
However, it was different in this lifetime. He arrived in the cavethy town ahead of time compared before and witnessed the event he didn"t saw back then.
Therefore, with that in mind, and curiosity about the reason behind the horde. Kim s.h.i.+n trace where the horde primary situated.
Whoos.h.!.+
Bam!!! Fwoos.h.!.+ Booom!!!
Various skills were rain down on the last pair of goblin and gray wolf.
"Yeah! We did it!"
"Haha. I actually leveled up twice!"
"That"s nice. I leveled up once. Then, we"re on the same level now."
"Haha. This isn"t the right time to talk with each other. Let"s dismantle and get our loot."
By that man"s words, the people who heard him hurriedly dismantled the corpse nearest to them. And upon seeing it, the other people who hasn"t yet had enough of celebrating were momentarily stunned as they scampered and pushed the people away of the corpse.
"Get your f*cking a*ss out of my loot!"
"Huh? Is this your kill?"
"I said, f*ck off!"
"What are you doing, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d?"
"F*ck. I will kill whoever came near my loots!"
"Show me, you arrogant c*nt!"
The people voices and curses could be heard as fight eventually erupt. Vale who was gazing down on the fight riding behind his gray wolf, couldn"t stop grinning to himself.
Upon seeing this, Phil who"s right beside Vale, couldn"t refrain himself from asking with a tone filled with curiosity. "What are you thinking Master? Aren"t we going to stop them from looting them?"
"Why are we doing that? Let them be. It"s no use to us. Sooner or later, they will willingly hand those items to us. Haha!" Vale answered as he laughed out loud before lightly kicking his gray wolf.
Awoo!
The wolf didn"t need any word from Vale as it began to run. "All of you! Follow behind me. We"re going to trace the path of the horde taken."
Vale"s voice resounded as the members of the brotherhood didn"t hesitate to followed behind, along with the hundreds of brotherhood"s slaves.
Rumble! Rumble!
"Hey, guys. Look! The boar fangs brotherhood were leaving. Should we follow them?"
One of the people who were busy fighting with each other, discovered the brotherhood"s unconcealed movement couldn"t help but question the crowd.
"Yes, it suspicious. Let"s follow them!"
"Hey, wait! What about the loot?"
"You can have them if you want. I"m going to follow the brotherhood,"
Upon seeing the action of some of the crowd, Phil immediately asked his master, Vale. "Master, there are people following behind us, what should we do?"
"Let them do what they want. They might be useful later…" Vale answered as he smiled ear to ear when he heard the question of Phil inside his mind.
Rustle~
"A goblin village?" Kim s.h.i.+n wondered as he kneeled his right knee on the ground while looking ahead of him. Hiding behind the bush and covertly looking, he could see the approximately 2.5-meters tall wooden palisade fence with two outposts in both sides, guarded by goblin armed with a crude bow.
"It"s guarded? Sentry?" He found the village suspicious, since when goblins become this organized?
They supposedly act on their own accord, in their own insctincts. He doesn"t have any idea about this. Why are they like this?
"Don"t tell me that I"d stumble up in a high-level village? But, that"s impossible! Nevermind. I will know it later after I saw it with my own eyes." He decided to see what"s inside the suspicious village. This what he came for so, why should he hesitate to find what"s inside?
Looking at the two guarded outposts, he saw the sentry on the right outpost is seemingly daze, looking in a certain direction inside the village as though it wanted to go down there but he cannot for some reason. After calculating the distance for a second, Kim s.h.i.+n then hurriedly bolted out from his spot, he needs to get closer, but then, the goblin in the left outpost sense the fast-moving Kim s.h.i.+n as it immediately turned its head to look. However, he found nothing and stared in the spot where Kim s.h.i.+n vanished with confused expression before turning back again on its work.
Slas.h.!.+
Guagh…
[You"ve defeated the Goblin Sentry!]
The system notified him immediately after he cut the neck of the goblin from behind as he lightly put the corpse down while covertly crouching inside the outpost. His blink skill is extremely useful at this kind of sneak attack.
"Goblins cave? A den? What is that?!" Kim s.h.i.+n wondered as he peeked out his head and saw the number of goblins scattering around before a ma.s.sive cave.
The goblins are acting like humans, they doing manual labor, like building a straw hut, and creating crude items, as he could hear the hammering of metal.
There"s already a lot of them outside. He couldn"t stop himself from wondering. How many monsters still hiding inside the ma.s.sive cave?
"Why are they so oriented?"
Wandering his eyes around, he couldn"t stop furrowed his brows when he saw a disgusting scene in the distance.
"Ugh, no. Please, stop doing this to me!"
"Just kill me!"
"Guaaaa…"
