Chapter 49: Ranger Tracking: Camouflage

Obviously!

The reason this Elder Goblin believed it hadn't died was because it had just shouted out the names of the Troll lords.

Looking at this Elder Goblin before him, who was both cowardly and filled with a mix of cunning and stupidity, Tang Zheng shook his head slightly.

"As expected, even with intelligence comparable to humans."

"Lacking cognition and other factors, it still appears foolish, unable to even grasp the basic situation before it, yet still wanting to use this to threaten others."

Tang Zheng chuckled, suddenly raising his leg to kick the Elder Goblin in the chest.

Bang!

The Elder Goblin let out a wail, its body slamming heavily into a large tree behind it. This caused its wounds, which hadn't fully healed, to rupture again, and a wave of intense pain struck.

"Ah, it hurts so much!"

"I won't do it again, human lord."

"Please, spare me."

"Human lord..."

The Elder Goblin's somewhat shrill voice echoed through the forest.

"You're very noisy."

"If you make any more noise, I'll slaughter you."

Tang Zheng shouldered the iron sword in his hand and walked over step by step.

Hearing these words.

The Elder Goblin hurriedly reached out to cover its mouth, shrinking under the tree and shivering, its black pupils filled with terror.

Tang Zheng walked up to it, looked down at this Elder Goblin, and nodded: "Very good, this shows we can communicate normally."

"Ye-yes, human lo-lord."

"Tell me, what is your name?"

"Human lord, I am called Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo."

"Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo?"

"Yes, I, I like to eat the fruits on the trees, so I got this name, this is..."

Tang Zheng waved his hand impatiently, cutting off the Elder Goblin's words, "There's no need for nonsense. Tell me, why did you appear here?"

"I, I..."

The Elder Goblin stammered.

"Don't think about hiding it. I know you are from an Elder Goblin tribe called the 'Jike Tribe'." Tang Zheng looked at the Elder Goblin's appearance and spoke coldly.

Upon hearing the words "Jike Tribe," the Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo shuddered all over; its face not only showed terror but also a look of fearful despair.

It didn't know why the human powerhouse before it knew of its tribe's existence!

The next moment!

The Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo, in a panic, spilled everything it knew all at once.

The goblin traits of cunning, cowardice, and timidity were displayed vividly on the creature.

The matter was not complicated.

June and July are the seasons most suitable for goblin reproduction, but the Elder Goblin race is much more difficult to conceive than ordinary goblins.

Therefore, the Elder Goblin race mates with ordinary goblins to make it easier to produce offspring, although there is a high probability that only ordinary goblins will be born.

But compared to the pregnancy rate of Elder Goblin mating with Elder Goblin, it is obviously much higher.

The Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo appeared in the outer area to select some healthy, excellent individuals among the goblins to bring back to the "Jike Tribe" so the tribe could reproduce better.

As a result.

It ran into Tang Zheng, who was slaughtering goblins. After discovering Tang Zheng was alone, the following events occurred.

During the process of the Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo answering everything in a rush, Tang Zheng also incidentally figured out the other party's abilities. 【Ability Table】

Introduction: After activating the magic, disguise oneself with the surrounding environment to lower presence; the magic effect is stronger in a jungle environment.

The class information of this Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo was the opposite of what Tang Zheng had initially guessed; it was the situation he thought had a lower probability.

=9+Shu_ba

It was not a Druid.

But a dual basic class of "Ranger" and "Forest Priest."

This surprised Tang Zheng greatly; he didn't expect a mere goblin to be able to master a class like "Forest Priest."

From the simple attack just now, Tang Zheng could easily see that this Elder Goblin's level in both "Forest Priest" and "Ranger" was not high.

The comprehensive level should not exceed 7lv.

Rangers themselves are demi-humans good at scouting, exploration, and shooting who live in the jungle; most can possess this class, such as the Elf race.

The "Tracking" skill counts as a basic skill; for Tang Zheng, it is also somewhat useful.

This Elder Goblin didn't know any higher-level skills.

And this "Camouflage" magic.

Tang Zheng was somewhat conflicted; besides being relatively excellent in the jungle, the effect of using this magic elsewhere is not particularly good.

It is far inferior to the more adaptable, magic-series Second Rank magic "Invisibility."

However!

Being able to obtain the rare basic class "Forest Priest," Tang Zheng simply mastered it as well.

After obtaining these two basic classes from the Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo.

Tang Zheng didn't feel there was anything worth being happy about; instead, he frowned slightly.

He had noticed before.

When the Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo was fleeing, the complex environment in the jungle seemed to have no effect on it; trees and bushes would automatically move aside.

Such an ability should not be an innate talent of an Elder Goblin.

Under Tang Zheng's expressionless gaze.

The Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo shrank under the trunk of a large tree, its painful green cheeks showing a look of heartache and deep reluctance.

Only then did it unwillingly take off a white bone-like item the size of a ping-pong ball, which was hanging around its neck on a necklace made of some kind of highly resilient vine.

This item looked like the bone of some animal; if the Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo hadn't actively taken it off its neck, Tang Zheng really wouldn't have noticed it.

He had initially thought it was just some bone-style ornament carried by a demi-human like the Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo.

"Human lord, this is the treasure of our 'Jike Tribe'."

The Elder Goblin Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo held this primitive necklace up with both hands and respectfully handed it over.

It was very clear that its life was now in the hands of the human before it; if it made the other party dissatisfied, it would likely lose its life immediately.
