Chapter 43: Decreasing Prey, Has My Luck Turned Bad?

The scorching sun began to set gradually.

The light within the Tob Forest also began to dim, with changes visible to the naked eye.

After shaking off the pursuit of those few ogres, Tang Zheng immediately found a spot where the trees were sparser and the shrubbery lower to rest.

Such an environment made it relatively easier to observe the surroundings; at the very least, given the massive size of ogres, he would be able to spot them immediately.

"Minor Wound Healing!"

Tang Zheng released a soft white glow from his hand, which then merged into his body.

In an instant, the small wounds on his cheeks and body recovered and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The wounds on his body did not look serious, but in a wilderness environment, if these wounds were not treated, there was a high possibility of them festering or even becoming infected.

According to the wilderness survival experience of the "Rock" squad, this was the most dangerous part.

Fortunately, one cast of "Minor Wound Healing" was enough to recover from these wounds.

Tang Zheng clearly felt a warm current flow through his entire body and limbs, and even the tightness in his chest eased up significantly.

"What on earth is going on?"

"To actually make the ogres band together."

A somewhat unsightly expression appeared on Tang Zheng's cheeks as he pondered in his heart, feeling puzzled.

He knew very well that as the number of goblins he slaughtered increased, it would inevitably attract the attention of the ogres in the jungle; after all, to them, goblins were also a backup food source.

But the situation before him.

Was clearly not enough to warrant the ogres' concern.

"Could it be that a special individual has appeared among the goblins, or among the ogres?" This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.

A different world is different from a game; in a game, all individuals of a race are the same, but in a real world like this, it is very normal for individuals with differences to appear within a race.

Although it did not appear in the anime, that did not mean the possibility did not exist.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands!

One or two ogres were not worth worrying about, but once the number of ogres increased, the situation he just faced would occur.

Although his physical attack was high, his physical defense value was too low; if he were hit a few more times, he would not be able to hold up.

"I need to be more careful in my future actions," Tang Zheng murmured softly to himself.

As the sun went down.

Tang Zheng followed his usual method, found a large tree, climbed up, and put on his black robe, making it even harder to see his figure in the already dark environment.

Late at night!

Tang Zheng was closing his eyes, in a state of light sleep, when his ears suddenly twitched.

Rustle~

Swish~

The slight sound of leaves being crushed by light footsteps on the grass gradually approached the tree where Tang Zheng was located.

Tang Zheng, who was already half-asleep and half-awake, sobered up immediately, but he did not open his eyes, maintaining his sleeping posture with his eyes closed.

The jungle at night was very lively.

It was very normal for beasts or magical beasts to pass by nearby; he had encountered this many times before.

The reason Tang Zheng did not open his eyes to observe was that in such a pitch-black environment, unless the two were very close.

Otherwise, with human visual standards, it was impossible to see creatures in the dark night clearly.

After a while.

The slight footsteps paused for a moment, and the location where the sound disappeared was exactly beneath the tree where Tang Zheng was located, but the footsteps soon started again and gradually moved away.

Tang Zheng's breathing became steady again, and he continued to doze off.

Although he was in a state of light sleep for the whole night, in an environment like the Tob Forest, there were more than twelve hours of darkness every day. Once the sleep time was extended, he would not feel sleepy, nor would he suffer from mental fatigue.

The next day.

The warm sunlight spilled onto the earth through the leaves once again.

Tang Zheng turned over and leaped down from the tree, reached out to put the black robe he was wearing into his item box, and began his daily schedule.

While gnawing on rye bread, he began searching for goblins and magical beasts!

Time passed bit by bit.

From the sun rising high to the sun setting in the west.

Tang Zheng raised the iron sword in his hand, made a mark on a large tree, and then showed a helpless expression on his face.

"My luck is really bad today; I only ran into ten goblins," Tang Zheng complained with a headache.

These few goblins were of the type that did not belong to a tribe.

Of course, besides goblins, he also encountered a few magical beasts and quite a few wild beasts.

Creatures like giant snakes were relatively common; Tang Zheng still had the corpses of a few three-to-four-meter-long giant snakes stored in his item box.

However, the experience given by ordinary beasts was too low, and as for magical beasts, he encountered a half-meter-long giant beetle, but unfortunately, it ran away.

Although these magical beasts gave quite a bit of experience, it was only at the level of the sum of experience from three or four goblins, but they were much more troublesome to kill than goblins.

Tang Zheng had indeed enjoyed slaughtering goblins during this period; after all, it was one sword per kill and not troublesome, and if he was lucky enough to encounter a group and follow them back, he could get a huge wave of experience.

In the next few days.

The number of goblins Tang Zheng encountered remained low, and he ended up killing quite a few ordinary beasts that he usually couldn't be bothered to slaughter.

After all, before this, the number of goblins Tang Zheng slaughtered every day could reach about 30, and he could usually obtain about "500~600" experience points daily.

Now, the number of goblins encountered sometimes even dropped to single digits.

This not only made Tang Zheng feel somewhat irritable.

Although the number of goblins he had slaughtered during this period was not small, compared to the goblins that caused a great deal of trouble to the entire border of the "Re-Estize Kingdom" every year, it was really not much.

Having not encountered a decent number of goblins for several consecutive days, Tang Zheng could only attribute it to his own bad luck.

Lower Wind Month.

June 16th.

Tang Zheng came to this world on May 16th, and it had been exactly one month until now.

He entered the Tob Forest on June 2nd, and now, he had been in the forest for half a month.

Perhaps it was because it was the one-month anniversary of his transmigration.

Tang Zheng's luck suddenly became much better today, and the goblins he hadn't been able to find many of for several days began to appear.

The iron sword in his hand was naturally already thirsty and impatient; in one day, he slaughtered 21 of them, and his experience points rose by a large margin.

『Experience Points: 2620/5000』

Furthermore.

Tang Zheng discovered that the number of goblins in this area was clearly quite high, and it was very likely that there was a large goblin tribe nearby.

Night.

Rustle~

When some kind of beast passed beneath the tree where Tang Zheng was located, its body rubbed against the shrubbery, making a slight sound.

Tang Zheng leaned halfway against the tree trunk, his head resting on his arms, his left foot casually crossed over his right, not paying much attention to the movement beneath the lush branches.

The "Scent Removal" magic was enough to clear all the scents from his body; even a beast with the keenest sense of smell could not smell him.
