Such an ability.

Great Goblin Mu Guo had never heard of it, but he knew that among humans, there existed special talents known as "innate abilities."

He only knew now that this human before him, who did not look very old, must be a famous powerhouse in the human world.

Tang Zheng did not pay much mind to the way Great Goblin Mu Guo would peek at him cautiously from time to time.

Who would care about a dead man... oh, a dead goblin.

Seeing all kinds of information about himself.

How could Tang Zheng possibly let Great Goblin Mu Guo leave alive?

The only reason the other party was still alive now was to provide Tang Zheng with the locations of goblin communities in the outer regions of this forest.

The next day.

Tang Zheng carried Great Goblin Mu Guo and continued his grand undertaking of leveling up.

However.

The goblins in this area had already been mostly cleared out by him, and reality was not a game; goblins were not wild NPC monsters that would stay in fixed positions forever.

Half a month's time.

Even goblins with inferior intelligence would certainly be able to realize that a creature specializing in slaughtering them had appeared in the forest.

Therefore, after spending an hour.

Tang Zheng had only gained about 200 experience points, a severe decrease compared to his previous efficiency.

"Are you sure there are no other goblin communities nearby?"

Tang Zheng threw Great Goblin Mu Guo in front of him and looked at the other party with a cold gaze.

"There are none... my lord human."

"All the goblin tribes here have already been killed by you, my lord human."

Great Goblin Mu Guo pressed his hands against the ground, lowered his head, and spoke in a trembling voice, then added cautiously:

"More goblins require heading into the depths of the jungle."

Bang.

Tang Zheng rotated his wrist, plunged his iron sword into the soft soil, tapped his fingers on the hilt, and pondered slightly.

He would not go into the depths of the jungle!

Dealing with ogres was no problem, but dealing with trolls, which were stronger than ogres, was quite thorny.

His strongest means of attack at present was physical, and for trolls with powerful regenerative abilities, the damage caused by physical attacks would be greatly compressed!

In the anime, the recovery speed of trolls was already quite exaggerated, and in the light novel version, the Bone King even blew away most of a troll's head in one strike.

As a result, in no time at all, the troll's head recovered as if nothing had happened.

According to the Bone King, even if a troll's body were smashed into meat paste, given a little time, it could still recover!

This terrifying recovery ability was the absolute bane of warrior-class professions!

Thinking of the troll's powerful recovery ability.

Tang Zheng felt it was better not to provoke that group of trolls.

What's more, the Eastern Giant Troll was over level 30, which was definitely not something he could deal with at the moment.

"Will the commotion caused in the outer regions have already been noticed by the trolls?" This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and his expression turned grave.

"Let's go."

Grabbing Great Goblin Mu Guo, Tang Zheng continued to search for goblins and magical beasts in the forest.

He had no intention of getting close to the depths of the forest; if any accident occurred, he could still manage to retreat as quickly as possible from the outer regions.

The one month of supplies he had originally prepared were actually mostly consumed.

However, there was no shortage of wild beasts in the forest; Tang Zheng had stored three wild boars in his item box alone, so there was no need to worry about food. Even the remaining water had been replenished at that small river.

He was still about 3000 experience points away from raising his talent to level ten; although the speed of gaining experience had slowed down, it would at most waste another day or two.

Meanwhile.

In the eastern region of the Great Forest of Tob, the Forest Rift.

The so-called "Forest Rift" did not refer to a special terrain like a canyon, but rather to an area within the lush jungle that was not covered by the forest or where trees did not grow.

For example, areas where large-scale dead trees appeared for some reason, or areas left behind after a fire, could all be called "Forest Rifts."

This area.

Was a hill that extended from the Azerlisia Mountains and merged with the forest.

Logically speaking.

Such terrain would not affect the growth of trees, but at this moment, most of this area was bare.

=9+Shu_Ba

Even where there were trees, they had all been destroyed; some looked as if they had been chopped down and were scattered randomly in the surroundings.

Others had been uprooted entirely and thrown onto the ground as if they were discarded debris, and others were shattered, broken wood.

In short, there was not a single well-preserved tree in this area.

And at a location at the very bottom of the hill, covered by vegetation, there was a huge cave four or five zhang high, which was exceptionally conspicuous.

This cave was precisely where the trolls lived.

Trolls and ogres had similar living habits and did not have high requirements for their living environment, but they still preferred to live in dark, damp caves.

For trolls, who also possessed night vision, the dark cave environment was not an obstacle at all.

There were no trolls, or even ogres, guarding the outside of the cave; after all, in this area, no magical beasts dared to invade.

However, at this moment.

Outside the cave, two Great Goblins, about 1.5 meters tall with light green skin, were waiting anxiously, looking into the depths of the cave from time to time, their bodies filled with fear.

A good while passed.

A goblin only about the height of a normal human child walked out of the cave, dejected.

Looking at the goblin's lighter skin tone and drooping pointed ears, it was enough to show that the other party was also a Great Goblin, and an underage one at that.

The two Great Goblins guarding the cave entrance showed expressions of shock and excitement on their nervous, fearful faces and hurriedly went up to meet them.

"Agu, are, are you okay?"

One of the Great Goblins asked with a stutter, full of concern.

They were Great Goblins of the Gik Tribe, and the Agu before them was the fourth son of the tribal chief.

"It's too dangerous."

"Doing this will get us eaten by the trolls." The other Great Goblin also spoke, filled with concern and worry.

Agu raised his head, gave the two Great Goblins a somewhat ugly smile, and felt a bit frustrated.

The two Great Goblins, who did not seem too stupid, understood something from the expression on Agu's face, but they did not share Agu's frustration.

It seemed there was no surprise.

"Trolls don't care about such things; they just treat us as food."

One of the Great Goblins whispered, and as he spoke, he cast a glance into the depths of the cave and shrank his neck in fear.
