Chapter 37: Ogre? Re-becoming a Link in the Food Chain

Giji~

Gicha~ Gicha~

Above the dense jungle, several birds flew over the forest, and faint insect chirps sounded from all directions from time to time.

Tang Zheng's figure was hidden behind the thick trunk and shrubs, his eyes calmly scanning this small goblin tribe.

No "old" goblins existed, which is normal.

After all, goblins are omnivorous animals, and in the case of food shortages, some injured or old goblins will be completely used as backup food.

And the absence of young goblins is a bit strange.

Although Tang Zheng didn't know much about the goblin race, he did learn a lot about the habits of this magical beast from the "Rock" team.

June and July are the most active times for goblins.

Because this is the time for the goblin race to reproduce in large numbers, they will not only prey on magical beasts and wild beasts in the forest in large numbers, but even leave the Tob Forest to prey on surrounding villagers.

Inside the small goblin settlement.

With the return of a group of goblins carrying five human corpses, the rest of the goblins who stayed in the tribe immediately let out excited "wah-wah" screams.

The few goblins carrying corpses at the back, panting, did not put down the corpses they were carrying at the first time, but continued to carry the corpses until they reached the low grass house built messily in the center.

Placed the five human corpses at the door of the low grass house.

Immediately after, this group of goblins hurriedly retreated a distance, looking at the low grass house with some expectation and some fear.

Tang Zheng saw this scene, his eyes twitched.

Boom—

A vibration came from inside the low grass house, like the low roar of a wild beast.

Next moment!

A figure more than two meters tall, with a huge and thick body and dark yellow skin, crawled out of the low grass house, swaying.

Ogre!

Tang Zheng's eyes showed realization.

This is the ogre that almost wiped out the "Rock" team, no wonder he had such a deep impression.

"Hungry, hungry......"

The ogre let out a blurred groan, and the two thick arms that first probed out supported the ground, and then stood up from the ground.

The head without any hair was covered with meat bumps of different sizes. Just looking at it gave people a creepy feeling.

As the head lifted.

On the ogre's ferocious and evil face, a small goblin was being bitten in its mouth.

The small goblin didn't make any sound, hanging on the other's mouth, clearly dead long ago.

Next moment.

Squeak—

The palm-sized tongue probed out, rolled the small goblin bitten in half into its mouth in one go, and chewed it with a crunching sound.

Light green blood splashed out as the ogre opened its mouth!

All the goblins around saw this scene, all standing in place shivering, even their breathing became a little quieter.

Seeing such a barbaric and cruel scene.

Tang Zheng frowned deeply, and there was a sense of nausea in his heart.

He finally knew why there were no cubs in this small goblin tribe.

This ogre is injured!

Although separated by a distance, Tang Zheng could clearly see that there was a huge wound on the ogre's chest that was larger than a washbasin. A large number of flies were dancing around the wound!

No wonder the ogre's movements were a bit slow when it crawled out of the low grass house and stood up.

For magical beasts like ogres, replenishing food in large quantities is the best way to recover from injuries!

"Food!"

The ogre's ferocious gaze looked at the five human corpses on the ground, and an excited expression appeared on its face as it roared.

Immediately after, it immediately lifted its palm, grabbed a corpse, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

The hard bones of the human body were like brittle bones in the ogre's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath.

"This sense of impact is really an extraordinary meeting gift from the Other World." Tang Zheng muttered to himself in a low voice, reopened his eyes, and a deep coldness appeared in his eyes.

In the world of the previous life, humans were the true masters of nature, and all other creatures only had the distinction of being edible and inedible.

And the Other World in front of him.

=9+Shu_ba

Humans seem to have re-become a link in the food chain, being preyed upon as prey. Such a scene gave Tang Zheng an inexplicable spiritual shock!

At this moment!

In addition to nausea, Tang Zheng also felt an indescribable shock and anger.

This anger did not come from the ogre's act of devouring human corpses in front of him.

But from the depths of the soul of the previous life, the wildness that humans climbed from eating raw meat and blood to the top of the food chain, rooted in the deepest part of the human soul!

Swish!

The iron sword lifted and lay across his chest.

Tang Zheng's eyes were cold, carefully observing the ogre in the distance, whose body size was larger than the ogre that attacked the "Rock" team back then.

Except for this ogre, that group of goblins is not a problem.

This ogre is injured, and this is definitely the best time to solve it!

It's just that.

Tang Zheng didn't rush up at the first time, but waited quietly for an opportunity.

After any creature is full, its reaction speed and body coordination will be worse than in a hungry state.

It's not that Tang Zheng is too careful, but he has to be cautious.

Without mastering detection-type means, Tang Zheng naturally couldn't see the specific level of this ogre, and could only rely on the wild survival experience mentioned by adventurers in this world to judge.

And coincidentally, Tang Zheng had no experience in distinguishing magical beasts at all.

After all, there is only one life, and Tang Zheng doesn't want to lose it because of carelessness or negligence!

This kind of demi-human magical beast, relying on its huge body size and strength far exceeding that of humans of the same level, generally needs to be judged 2 or 3 levels higher to be safe.

Tang Zheng recalled the racial information about ogres in his mind.

Ogres have relatively unique racial characteristics, and most ogres, due to racial habits, will stay with goblins.

The ogre is responsible for fighting, while the goblins provide food, forming a mutually beneficial relationship.

In this forest, most goblin settlements probably have ogres, and the more goblins there are in the settlement, the more ogres they should have.

Huh!

Tang Zheng noticed that the ogre only stopped eating after eating three corpses in one go.

The gradually bulging stomach and the laziness revealed on its ferocious expression all showed that this ogre was full.

Tang Zheng lifted the iron sword with a blank expression, and approached the small goblin settlement quickly with light steps!

Because the ogre had finished eating, the other goblins finally cheered one by one, and began to eat some tree fruits, rotten corpses of small wild beasts, and even some ate leaves.
