Chapter 18

A wild boar weighing a full 200 jin was quickly processed under the skilled hands of the brothers Le'er and Lande.

All the internal organs were removed and buried in a small pit.

To Tang Zheng, this seemed like a waste; the "Rock" squad and Enri's grandparents didn't seem interested in these organs at all.

Clearly, they didn't have the habit of eating internal organs.

Tang Zheng naturally wouldn't be a busybody.

Don't look at how these people appear as small, low-level characters in the anime.

However, whether it's the adventurers or Enri's grandparents who own a potion shop, none of them belong to the ranks of the poor.

The cleaned wild boar meat was placed over the campfire to roast, and soon layers of grease dripped down, causing the temperature of the flames to rise again!

A fragrance began to permeate the air.

Captain Dosari walked over from the side, sat down next to Tang Zheng, and spoke in a hearty tone.

Tang Zheng maintained a listening expression, nodding and replying once or twice from time to time, while most of the time the other was talking.

Enri was the same, very interested in the experiences of adventurers.

Although the stories Captain Dosari told were all interesting anecdotes from his past adventures, even mixed with some bragging, Tang Zheng could still get some useful information from these words.

The next day.

Just as the sky was beginning to brighten, the group set off again.

The journey ahead began to become less easy, especially as they got closer to the border, the majestic, towering Azerlisia Mountains, which stretched as far as the eye could see, had already appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat relaxed, also became much more serious.

Along the way!

Attacks by magical beasts began to gradually increase, but most were relatively weak magical beasts!

Tang Zheng successfully gained quite a bit of experience following along.

The Azerlisia Mountains separate the Kingdom of Re-Estize from the Baharuth Empire, serving as a natural barrier between the two countries.

According to Captain Dosari, 400 years ago, the two countries were actually the same country, but for some unknown reason, the original vast country was destroyed and then split into the two countries of today.

Suddenly.

"Alert!"

The archer Bask, who was guarding the rear of the carriage, suddenly gave a warning. His ears twitched slightly, and a serious and solemn expression appeared on his face:

"Something big is coming!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the others in the "Rock" squad all changed slightly.

Grandmother Liji pulled the reins expressionlessly, bringing the carriage to a stop, while Enri, who was sitting on the carriage, grabbed the wooden railing of the carriage with nervous hands.

Tang Zheng noticed the change in the expressions of the "Rock" squad members, and his gaze tightened.

Through this period of contact, Tang Zheng knew that the archer named Bask possessed an innate talent for "hearing" that far exceeded that of ordinary people.

In addition to long-range firepower output, his role in this adventurer team also included intelligence gathering!

To be able to make him so nervous, it was clear that he had heard something terrifying!

However!

Tang Zheng's heart was still calm; the real big shot in this team was not the adventurer squad, but Grandmother Liji who was driving the carriage.

"Wah! Wah!"

"Wah wah!!"

"…………!"

Harsh shrieks rang out as they rushed out from the grass at the edge of the road with a "rustling" sound.

Goblins, less than 1m tall, with dark green skin all over, looking very thin, with white pupils and somewhat ferocious faces, appeared in everyone's field of vision.

There were a full ten of them!

Tang Zheng glanced at these goblins; most of them were holding wooden clubs and other weapons. Although there were many of them, they were not actually a threat.

Goblins are a weak race that reproduces extremely quickly and has low intelligence. In a one-on-one situation, an ordinary adult can carefully manage to kill a goblin alone.

Not to mention the "Rock" squad; according to their level, the average level of a Silver-ranked adventurer team is between 7 and 10. Of course, there are several types of goblin races.

Is the real danger behind them?

Tang Zheng looked past the goblins that had rushed out, toward the dense forest behind the grass.

Boom!

Boom!

Heavy footsteps came, and compared to the goblins that rushed out first and screamed, the existence behind them made people feel a sense of oppression.

"Everyone, pay attention!"

Captain Dosari drew the twin swords from his waist and gave a serious, low shout.

"Roar!"

Following a beast-like roar.

A figure over two meters tall, with a fat and sturdy build, dark yellow skin all over, and a back covered with a layer of armor-like skin with short thorns, strode out.

"Is it an Ogre? No! There are two!" Archer Bask said with an ugly expression.

"Wah wah wah!"

=9+Shu_ba

"Wah wah wah!"

The 10 goblins, who were originally afraid to go up, suddenly gained great courage after seeing the two Ogres appear, waving the wooden clubs in their hands and rushing toward the carriage.

"Solve these goblins first!"

Captain Dosari rushed out first, raised the long sword in his right hand, and threw it fiercely toward the front.

Following a harsh sound of breaking air.

This long sword hit a goblin running at the very front first, and the blade pierced directly into the goblin's chest with great precision!

The goblin let out a scream, and light green blood sprayed out along the penetrating wound of the blade, scattering all over the ground!

Captain Dosari also rushed to the front of this goblin at this time, stepped fiercely on the other's chest, and pulled the hilt of the sword upward with his right hand, and blood mixed with broken flesh sprayed out again.

At the same time!

Captain Dosari swung his left-hand sword and cut off the head of the goblin next to him.

Meanwhile.

The brothers Ge'er and Lande raised their arms, held the silver shields tied to their hands in front of them, and charged forward quickly.

The two of them knocked a goblin to the ground together, then smashed it down fiercely with their shields, smashing it into meat paste.

Compared to the bloody actions of the first three!

Archer Bask was much more elegant, taking arrows and shooting them, his steady movements quickly shooting and killing two goblins.

In just a moment, the "Rock" squad had already solved six of the ten goblins.

Tang Zheng saw this scene and took a deep breath.

He wasn't nervous, just slightly disgusted by this bloody scene.

Along the way, he had encountered scattered attacks by magical beasts, so this kind of scene wasn't the first time he had seen it.

But as a modern person, there was still some discomfort.

Smelling the fishy, bloody smell in the air!

Seeing the goblin heads cut off in the distance and the bodies smashed by shields, Tang Zheng felt the reality of the whole world more and more.

At this moment.

Besides feeling a little disgusted in his heart, Tang Zheng also felt a hint of inexplicable excitement.

He suddenly realized something about the "Eight Greed Kings" who had once ravaged the entire continent!

While Tang Zheng was stunned, the remaining 4 goblins were quickly solved by the "Rock" squad!

And the two huge Ogres, at this time, also roared angrily and rushed out of the forest!
