They looked like goblins with green-colored skin but were slightly taller and sturdier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also had certain beast characteristics like fur on their body and horns on their head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 38 Goblin Beast]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 41 Goblin Beast]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 31 Goblin Beast]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So these guys are the ones causing all the troubles…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam first carefully observed these creatures and tried to gauge their strong points and weak points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then moved after a couple of seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was gathering mana to materialize a huge ball of fire to start the fight with a bang, suddenly something strange happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three feral arctic wolves barged into the cave and started attacking the goblin beasts in a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam immediately stopped moving. He felt that something was off. \"Where did these come from?\" He quickly backed away so as to not expose his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three wolves continued to attack the goblin beasts and following them a group of four players barged in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blacky 1, watch your back! Three more are coming!\" The fat chubby guy at the back roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a bow in his hand that gave off a golden luster and he was apparently controlling the wolves because one of the three wolves responded to his shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was calling a snow-white arctic wolf blacky?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam, however, did not have any time to be amused. Rather he was busy watching the group in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he did not understand why this group seemed extremely familiar but when he looked at them closely, all of four them bore a remarkable resemblance to four of the very popular experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby Indian beast tamer…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flat-chested Russian blonde with clear emerald eyes who relied on nature magic to heal…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The American thug berserker who liked to shave his head…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And last but not least…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thin average height Japanese who was the only normal-looking person in the group… and the one wielding undead monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kouske…\" Liam muttered in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, he was completely stunned, his brain heating up. Just how the heck was this possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four different people from four different countries and all four of them… top experts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew for a fact that these guys were not friends or acquaintances in his last life, at least not yet in this stage of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how the hell was all four of them together, working as a team right now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And moreover, they were here trying to snatch the item that he was aiming for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this just a coincidence or was this pre-planned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam already knew the answer to this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no such thing as a coincidence, this was definitely going according to someone's plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone among the four of them or perhaps another person had purposefully assembled this small group of whos who of 'Evolution Online'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how he was trying to collect the gems that he came across, this person as well was clearly collecting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question was… how was that person doing it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he\u002F she know that these four were going to become powerful experts? Did he\u002F she also have knowledge about the future like him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a ridiculous thought, but it was not a possibility that Liam was ready to rule out just yet. After all, he himself had come back in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So really anything was possible…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't for a second dare to think that he was special or extraordinary. If he could come back, then maybe someone else also could come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might just be a video game for now but their future was one filled with myriad magical abilities, distorted creatures, and ancient beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this kind of future… really anything was possible…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam stood absolutely still, completely shocked from top to bottom. His mind was reeling. The consequences of what he just saw were game-changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now… he was not just racing against time and the people to who the fate originally belonged, but he was also essentially competing against this group of experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he had others on his side as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek had a solid foundation and Shen Yue had a very special, unique, and powerful class but they also lacked several things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek might have a solid foundation but he did not have a special class just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to make things worse, Liam had no idea how to obtain one for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only a slave and a bottom feeder in his last life. So he was heavily limited by the knowledge that he was privy to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was not very confident that he would be able to get one for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek's strength and progress would have to depend on his own efforts. Not to mention, he had already considerably altered the man's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he still have the same drive and hunger for power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for Shen Yue, she had a special class, something that could become powerful in a skilled player's hands, but she completely lacked the foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed lots and lots of combat experience and then some more to actually be of any help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering all of this, it was instantly apparent to Liam that he was at a significant disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they might be strangers for now, if there was ever a confrontation, he had no doubt that he would lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck.\" Liam clenched his fist, his heart thumping loudly in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze lingered on the excellent coordination and teamwork the four experts displayed in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group slaughtered all the goblin beasts as they casually cruised through with terrifying ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one look anyone would be able to tell that they were no ordinary players. Every skill, every move was properly executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they also managed to comprehend the true talent behind all these skills and magic… then it was once and for all game over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam dug his nails further into his palm and calmed himself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is not the time to worry about this. I should focus on what's important now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more important and pressing question right now was… whether these guys joined forces and came together to this spot hunting for him or hunting for the flame fragment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the way things were unfolding, Liam could tell that it was probably the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he saved the rest of his theories, conjectures, and concerns for the future and focussed on the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he knew anything, it was that nothing was set in stone. They might have the upper hand right now but he was also not that helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he had an additional advantage that they did not have yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that they existed when they probably had no clue about his existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam grinned. He suddenly knew what he had to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to make use of this exact same advantage right now to steal the flame right under their noses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumbling sounds continued to echo from the depths of the cave as Liam started to move once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luna, stay back..\" He ordered the small fox, made sure that his [Stealth] was still active, and slowly followed the trail of blood and goblin beast corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>",1224,"2026-06-06T14:49:04.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","ec78da1b74ad2ff3c36d4a433dbb26b6e21764c6b2644dfaed17e2b8c4be8850","re-evolution-online-chapter-167","re-evolution-online-chapter-221",1446,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fre-evolution-online-cover.jpg"]
