Chapter 65

Agu?

Seeing that the Ogre Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo and this newly appeared little Ogre actually knew each other, especially given that somewhat familiar name.

Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes imperceptibly and carefully sized up the Ogre called Agu.

Agu of the "Jike Tribe"?

This was a minor character who appeared in the anime; compared to the other Ogres who looked dull and were only slightly smarter than ordinary Goblins.

This Ogre called Agu displayed intelligence nearly on par with a normal human.

Tang Zheng took a rare, serious look at the other party and discovered that, aside from being younger, his appearance was no different from the other Ogres.

He was far from being as conspicuous or distinct as he had been portrayed in the anime.

At least.

Looking at the appearance of these Ogres, Tang Zheng felt they all looked about the same.

Rustle!

Rustle!

At this moment, the two Ogres following behind Agu also crawled out from the bushes. Seeing Tang Zheng's expressionless, cold gaze, they felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts and subconsciously took a step back.

"Hu, human." The stuttering Ogre said in a terrified tone, stammering.

Clearly, the human before them was so frail!

Not to mention compared to the Ogre lords, even the arms of a young Ogre were thicker than this human's thighs. But this human was simply standing there.

A layer of goosebumps rose on the stuttering Ogre's skin, as if he were facing the powerful Ogre lords he had once only dared to glance at from afar.

A sense of fear rose in his heart for no reason.

"My lord! They are people from our tribe."

The Ogre Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo lay on the ground, supporting his shoulders with his hands, looking fearfully at Tang Zheng, swallowing his saliva, and then spoke with extreme nervousness:

"They are not those inferior Goblins."

He was terrified that Tang Zheng would kill Agu and the others with a single sword strike, just as he had dealt with those inferior Goblins.

Agu tightened his legs, hurriedly knelt on both knees, supported his arms on the ground, and lowered his head, pressing it heavily into the rotting leaves.

"Human, human lord, we come from the Jike Tribe deep in the forest, we are not inferior Goblins."

Agu's voice trembled, and he spoke with nervous stammering, "My lord, I hope you can spare Ogre brother Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo's life; we are willing to offer precious things."

Agu's ringing words also reminded the Ogres standing behind.

The two Ogres hurriedly took the huge wooden baskets off their backs, placed them in front of them, and then knelt down in a panic just like Agu.

"Oh?"

Seeing the actions of these few Ogres, Tang Zheng showed a hint of surprise and interest on his face, turned his head to look at the Ogre Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo lying on the ground to the side,

"It seems your status in your tribe is not low."

"Of course, my lord."

"I am a hero in the tribe."

Hearing Tang Zheng's words, the Ogre Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo showed no intention of being humble, and a proud expression appeared on his battered green cheeks.

A hero?

Tang Zheng chuckled, stepped forward, and his gaze fell on the two large wooden baskets placed in front of Agu.

One wooden basket was piled full of various medicinal herbs, many of which still had dried mud on their roots and fine hairs, clearly having been picked not long ago.

The other wooden basket was filled with somewhat strange-looking mushrooms, most of which were blue, looking very peculiar and seemingly poisonous.

Herbs? Mushrooms?

Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow, a half-smile appearing on his face as he looked at Agu kneeling on the ground: "You are very smart, even smarter than I expected."

Although Tang Zheng did not recognize these herbs and strange mushrooms, he knew clearly that these things were definitely picked from deep within the Great Forest of Tob.

Their value in the outside world was bound to be high.

However, for the Ogre tribe of the "Jike Tribe" living deep in the Great Forest of Tob, these things were not items of high value.

This was not to say that Agu was playing any tricks.

Quite the contrary!

Agu, this Ogre, knew very well what items had high value in human society.

If one were to really speak of it, a tribe like the "Jike Tribe" living deep in the jungle, where even survival was a problem, would not have anything that humans would find worthy of notice.

Most importantly.

The Agu before him handled things differently from most demi-humans; this kind of trading method was truly somewhat surprising.

This was not just a matter of being smart.

Hearing Tang Zheng's praise, Agu still dared not raise his head. He did not know why this powerful human before him would suddenly praise him. However, he was clear about one thing now: the human seemed quite satisfied with these herbs he had offered!

Whew—

Agu's tense nerves relaxed slightly; he felt he had guessed correctly.

Back when he heard from the Goblins who fled deep into the forest that Ogre brother Hobgoblin Hobgoblin Mu Guo had been captured but not killed by the human.

Agu guessed that the human powerhouse probably only had a bad impression of Goblins and had no hostility toward them, the Ogres.

After all.

In the eyes of Ogres, Goblins and they, the Ogres, were completely different species!

Thinking of this.

Agu felt that since this human powerhouse liked the herbs in the forest, perhaps he could use the herbs to establish a connection with this human powerhouse.

It's just... I don't know who is stronger, this human powerhouse or the Ogre lords?

The Ogre lords should be stronger, right.

Various thoughts emerged in Agu's mind.

"What is the situation with the Ogres deep in the forest?" A faint voice came, falling into the ears of Agu who was lying on the ground.

=9+Shu_ba

The sudden inquiry.

Made Agu subconsciously look up at Tang Zheng, who was standing not far in front, arms crossed over his chest, looking down at him calmly.

The tall silhouette made Agu's heart tremble.

He hurriedly lowered his head.

"My, my lord..."

Agu stammered, clearly not understanding the meaning of Tang Zheng's words.

"So many Goblins died in the outer area, plus the commotion I've made during this time is not small."

"Even you Ogres are aware of it, surely those Ogres wouldn't be unaware, right?"

Tang Zheng tapped his arm with a finger and asked.

He had very little information about the Ogres who ruled this area and lived deep in the forest; this was a perfect opportunity to scout some intelligence from Agu.

"We know, my lord."

Agu hurriedly spoke, recalling the scene when he went to seek help, a sense of decadence and disappointment appearing on his face:

"No matter how many Goblins there are, in the eyes of the Ogre lords, they are just cannon fodder; it doesn't matter how many die."

They don't care?

Tang Zheng's gaze flickered slightly.

During this time, he had been worried that the commotion he caused would attract the Ogres from deep in the forest, so he tried his best to operate in the outermost areas.

Now hearing Agu's answer, Tang Zheng suddenly realized he had been too cautious.

Thinking about it carefully.

With the arrogant and conceited personality of those Ogres, they didn't even care about the Bone King who came knocking on their door, and were even easily repelled by the Bone King twice, yet they still couldn't see the gap between the two sides.

With such thick nerves and personality, they indeed wouldn't care about the death of a large number of Goblins on the outskirts of the forest.

If I had known, I would have been less restrained.

Tang Zheng shook his head imperceptibly, then continued to ask: "Tell me about the situation deep in the jungle, and everything about the Ogres."

At this time, Agu also understood that the human before him was intending to scout information about the Ogre lords.

Facing the inquiry.

Agu not only did not hide anything, but instead confessed all the information he knew.

If possible!

He was immensely hopeful that the human before him could deal with those hateful Ogres.

After learning more detailed intelligence about the Ogres, a satisfied smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face.

The harvest was great.

Next time he came to the Great Forest of Tob to deal with those Ogres, he would have more certainty.

Tang Zheng raised his hand, waved it at the two large wooden baskets on the ground, and collected them into his item box.

Agu cautiously raised his head, watching the wooden baskets disappear into thin air, his round eyes couldn't help but widen, and a look of shock was revealed on his face.

Disappeared?

How amazing!

Is it some kind of magic item ability?
