Chapter 12

He released another nine jin of wolf meat, with every three jin yielding one point of energy.

This time, he waited a little over ten minutes before they were gradually bought away.

"It seems three jin of wolf meat for one point of energy is about the limit other lords can accept."

He understood in his heart.

He did not waste much time.

He left one-third of the three hundred jin of wolf meat before him.

The remaining two hundred jin were all sold.

After deducting the handling fee, he received sixty-five points of energy.

Adding the sixteen points of energy obtained from hunting wild wolves earlier.

He now possessed a total of eighty-one points of energy.

He arrived at the goblin camp again.

He spent eighty points of energy.

He summoned eighty ordinary goblins, which were similarly synthesized into twenty ordinary ★★★ Goblin Warriors.

"Go out and explore; we must also leave one powerful combatant at home."

After thinking for a moment, he synthesized eight more Goblin Warriors into one Goblin Chief.

With this—

Counting the seventeen Goblin Warriors from before.

He now commanded two Goblin Chiefs and twenty-nine Goblin Warriors!

"Ham, you lead nine Goblin Warriors to guard the territory well."

After all the goblins' souls had returned to their bodies, Li Yue ordered that Goblin Chief.

"Yes!"

The Goblin Chief 'Ham' said in a deep voice.

Li Yue nodded.

There was no delay.

He led the other Goblin Chief and twenty Goblin Warriors, heading directly south.

The previous wild wolves had come from the south.

He suspected there might be a wild wolf pack over there.

They did not walk through the forest.

There were many withered branches and fallen leaves, reaching straight to the ankles.

However, Li Yue did not complain; he merely watched the surroundings vigilantly.

The Goblin Chief in front cleared the way.

Goblin Warriors one by one fanned out on the sides.

"It is a pity the Goblin Chief's intelligence level is not very high either."

"Otherwise, I could have handed it directly to the Goblin Chief."

He felt somewhat regretful.

He was quite confident in the Goblin Chief's strength.

But this intelligence...

was a hard flaw.

Or rather, the entire goblin race suffers from this intelligence flaw.

They had only walked in the woods for about half an hour.

Li Yue heard the sound of wolves again.

This cheered him up.

There really is a wild wolf pack!

"Awooo!"

Not long after, a large number of wolf howls suddenly came.

Clearly, the wild wolves have keen senses of smell and have already discovered this group of unwelcome guests.

Four Goblin Warriors immediately closed in on Li Yue, protecting him in the middle.

"Kill these beasts!"

The Goblin Chief roared and strode forward to charge the wild wolves bursting out of the woods.

This group of wild wolves was quite numerous.

There were fully thirty-some of them.

Moreover, among them was one exceptionally robust wolf standing at the rear of the pack.

"Kill!"

Sixteen Goblin Warriors, fearless, with bloodshot eyes, followed behind the Goblin Chief, screaming wildly as they charged the wild wolf pack.

Both sides were fearless.

They collided within a mere moment.

"Tsk tsk, the Goblin Chief is too strong."

Watching the Goblin Chief sweep his iron spear as if through an empty world, Li Yue could not help but exclaim in admiration.

Before the Goblin Chief.

Every wild wolf that grazed the attack was wounded; every one that touched it died. Wolf blood flew in all directions, and howls were completely replaced by screams of agony.

By the time the remaining Goblin Warriors arrived.

The Thrust skill was unleashed.

It was simply a massacre.

In Li Yue's view, these wild wolves should at least be ordinary ★★ creatures.

Yet they had run into the stronger Goblin Chieftain and Goblin Warriors.

The gap was too great.

"Roar!"

The Wolf Pack Leader leaped up suddenly, its sharp claws clawing at the Goblin Chieftain's throat!

A cold glimmer faintly flashed on the claws.

This was the mark of having reached the Black Iron Layer.

Li Yue instantly grew somewhat nervous.

He had seen it on the Big Goblin, the Goblin Leader, and the Goblin Chieftain.

This was extraordinary power!

Once entering the Black Iron Tier, one was already an extraordinary creature!

If a Goblin Chieftain were lost at this stage.

It would slow his development pace by a great deal.

However, it was obvious he was worrying too much.

The gap between Black Iron ★ and Black Iron ★★★ was far greater than he had imagined.

Charge!

Thrust!

The Goblin Chieftain unleashed two skills in succession; the iron spear as thick as a bowl in his hand seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning.

Striking later but arriving first, it pierced the Wolf Pack Leader's skull in an instant!

Crack—

Li Yue even heard the terrible sound of bone cracking.

The Wolf Pack Leader let out a scream of agony and was blasted away by the terrifying force.

Blood gushed from the wolf's mouth, ears, and eyes; it fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then fell silent forever.

"One strike, and the Black Iron-level Wolf Pack Leader is dead!"

Li Yue was somewhat shocked.

Is this the strength of Black Iron ★★★?
