Chapter 36: Tracking, Discovering a Small Goblin Tribe

"Guji, Gu."

"Wah!"

"Wah, wah."

"............!"

In the depths of the jungle, faint sounds came faintly.

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, he stopped, pricked up his ears to listen, and the blurred sound gradually became clear.

Something is coming this way, and there are quite a few of them!

Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, scanned the surroundings, quickly locked onto a relatively thick tree, walked to the back of the tree with light steps, and waited silently against the trunk.

Time passed bit by bit!

The familiar "wah-wah" sound rang out from time to time, making Tang Zheng's eyes light up.

He had dealt with many goblins, and this was clearly the sound of goblins!

Sure enough.

This place is already close to the ogre territory!

Tang Zheng still leaned against the thick trunk, his head tilted slightly forward, looking toward the direction the sound came from.

Soon!

A goblin team of thirteen appeared in Tang Zheng's field of vision.

These goblins were wearing tattered clothes that were quite ill-fitting, and some even wore a piece of cut-off trouser leg on their heads as hats.

Such an outfit was just like a refugee.

But Tang Zheng's eyes clearly froze, because this was the only group of goblins he had seen that were all wearing clothes, even if these clothes were extremely tattered.

The goblins he had seen before were basically almost naked!

And what surprised Tang Zheng the most was that the two goblins walking at the front were actually holding iron weapons, although they were just two forks.

Following the goblins at the front, looking toward the back.

Tang Zheng's face showed a clear change for the first time.

The goblins behind were struggling to carry some blood-stained corpses, following closely behind the goblins in front.

Humans!

Tang Zheng's expression was silent.

A total of five corpses, through the appearance and clothing, it can be seen that there should be three men and two women, the dark and rough arms hanging on the ground, being dragged.

Made Tang Zheng realize that these people should be farmers from villages in the nearby area.

Although he is currently located in the Tob Forest, he is actually still on the outermost edge of the forest. To the north is the inside of the forest, and to the south, he can leave the Tob Forest and enter an area similar to the wilderness.

Continuing south, he would be able to see a dirt road extending from "E-Rantel."

And in this area, there are quite a few villages.

Compared with Carne Village located in the territory of the Forest Sage King Hamsuke, whether it is the villages around the ogre territory or the villages around the Naga territory, they are not very safe.

Therefore, the Adventurer's Guild in "E-Rantel" has year-round tasks for clearing out magical beasts, goblins, and so on.

"Wah, wah."

The goblin at the front seemed to feel that it was walking a bit slowly, and yelled at the back, the fangs outside its mouth filled with irritability.

The goblins carrying the corpses behind, hearing this howl, showed panic on their green cheeks, and continued to carry the corpses forward with some effort.

Throughout the process, this group of goblins did not discover Tang Zheng hidden behind the large tree.

Watching this goblin team pass in front of him with a blank expression.

Tang Zheng gently turned the hilt of the sword in his hand, lifted his foot, followed with light steps, and hung behind this goblin team.

Although the number of these goblins is large, it is not a trouble!

The level of ordinary civilian farmers in the Other World is about level 1, and if trained, there is a probability of reaching level 2.

Ordinary goblins are also at this level, after all, they belong to the demi-human race, and there are some racial advantages. So solving these goblins is not difficult.

However.

According to the behavior of these goblins, Tang Zheng guessed that it is very likely that they are returning to their tribe.

Realizing this.

Tang Zheng naturally is not in a hurry to solve these goblins immediately.

As he followed this goblin team and gradually fell into the Tob Forest, Tang Zheng could clearly feel that the surrounding trees and shrubs were becoming more and more lush.

The atmosphere of the forest began to become a bit different, the most obvious being that the light suddenly began to dim a lot, and an invisible sense of oppression faintly permeated the forest.

Tang Zheng's palm flipped, took out a pocket watch from the item box, and saw that the time on it was only about 3 PM, but the light around him gave him the feeling that it was already evening.

"Should not be too deep."

Tang Zheng looked at the goblins carrying the corpses at the very back, his eyes flickered, and at the same time, he lifted the iron sword and made two marks on a large tree beside him as a sign.

In such a huge primeval forest, once you lose your way, it is a very troublesome and dangerous thing.

=9+Shu_ba

Therefore, Tang Zheng is naturally prepared.

In addition to drawing inherent marks on the trees he passed, his item box also prepared a large bag of lime powder specifically purchased.

Currently still in the outer area of the forest, Tang Zheng can still see the direction, so he doesn't need to use lime powder for the time being.

Next!

Tang Zheng followed this group of goblins for about ten minutes, and he had already determined that he was about to reach the tribe of these goblins.

Because Tang Zheng had already smelled the rotting smell permeating the air and the indescribable stench of smelly socks and rotten eggs mixed together.

Soon.

A place that made people suddenly open up appeared in the jungle full of thick and tall trees.

The area is not large, only about the size of one and a half basketball courts, and the whole area has clearly been cleared, without any tall trees.

As soon as that group of goblins entered here, they immediately became active, especially the few goblins carrying corpses at the back became even more excited.

Tang Zheng scanned with his eyes.

He saw many animal skeletons, including some human leg bones and arms, discarded at will on the side.

On the ground near the center, there were also a few thick animal skins, I don't know what animal they were.

Among them, on a pile of withered yellow weeds, there was some rotten meat, and a large number of insect swarms gathered here.

The bursts of stench permeating the air came from there.

What attracted Tang Zheng's attention the most was a grass hut located in the center of this area, which looked clearly built with weeds and branches.

Tang Zheng took a serious look, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The size of this grass hut was clearly much larger for the small-sized goblins, and the most important thing was that this was the only grass hut in the entire area, which was really a bit abrupt.

In addition.

The number of goblins is also a bit abnormal.

It's not that the number is large, but too small!

This is clearly a small goblin tribe. Except for the 13 goblins that just returned to the tribe, the only goblins Tang Zheng could see guarding the tribe were five!

Not sure if there are any remaining goblins in that grass hut.

But the number of goblins guarding the tribe is really too small. Although Tang Zheng can't distinguish the age of the goblins, he can also see that the goblins guarding the tribe are clearly young and strong.

That is to say.

This small goblin tribe in front of him actually has no old or young existence.
