From Ant to Abyssal Demon - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: The Rise of the Goblin Kingdom!

[The Rise of the Goblin Kingdom: Even among the foolish races, wise leaders can emerge. By chance, the goblin High Chief inherited the ancestors’ legacy, greatly enhancing the goblins’ strength. It defeated many goblin tribes and united them, self-proclaimed as the Grand General, preparing to establish the Goblin Kingdom and unify the Gloomy Forest.]

[As a member of the Gloomy Forest, you only have two choices: gain the trust of High Chief, join the Goblin Kingdom, or kill High Chief, stop the establishment of the Goblin Kingdom.]

[Mission Branch One: Gain the trust of High Chief, join the Goblin Kingdom. Mission reward, unknown.]

[Mission Branch Two: Kill High Chief, stop the establishment of the Goblin Kingdom. Mission reward, unknown.]

[Do you accept?]

After carefully reading the system text, Su Bai sneered.

If there were a newbie village outside the Gloomy Forest, when the game started and players arrived, this goblin Grand General, High Chief, would likely be the newbie village boss.

Ignoring the fact that he had already wiped out a goblin camp and was hostile with the goblins.

Just his own growth required him to continue hunting goblins.

Goblin Grand General?

As the newbie village boss, Su Bai speculated that High Chief might possess elite attribute templates or even lord attribute templates!

Since he already knew this, sooner or later, Su Bai would go to hunt down High Chief to further strengthen himself!

In this way, he would inherently stand against the goblins.

This newly appeared mission had no time limit, and the final goal was High Chief, the goblin Grand General, whom Su Bai would definitely hunt down, almost tailor-made for him.

“So…

“The tent depicted on that map should be where High Chief is, right?

“Then…

“Accept the mission!”

Choosing to accept the mission, Su Bai tossed aside the useless blood-stained animal skin and slowly disappeared within the abandoned goblin camp.

—

Three days later.

[Ding! You killed a goblin thrower and gained 100 experience points.]

[You killed a goblin thrower beyond your level. The goblin thrower possesses an advanced attribute template, and you gained the attribute template owned by the goblin thrower.]

Slowly withdrawing his foot sickle from the goblin thrower’s head, Su Bai, as before, used the advanced attribute template as experience to enhance his own attribute template.

In three days, he cleared out four goblin camps, obtained four advanced attribute templates, and pushed his template experience to 93%.

As long as he hunted down one more advanced goblin, his attribute template would be able to advance smoothly, and his strength would increase again.

It took three days to clear out four goblin camps for one reason alone.

The Gloomy Forest was too large.

Even with part of the map drawn by goblins, he still needed a lot of time to travel from one camp to another.

Most of the time was wasted on the road.

Fortunately, it was all worth it. As long as he hunted down one more advanced goblin, his attribute template would advance smoothly, and his strength would increase again.

Glancing regretfully at the ground littered with goblin corpses, Su Bai silently slid his foot and headed towards the next goblin camp.

To suppress his level, for these three days, he left all the goblins he killed in place, without devouring a single corpse. Only then could he barely keep his level below Level 5.

If he had let himself devour freely, his level would probably have reached Level 5 or even 6 by now.

After half a day, Su Bai arrived at the next goblin camp.

As usual, after arriving at the goblin camp, instead of immediately launching an attack, he hid in the bushes next to the camp and carefully observed the entire camp.

No one could say what they would encounter in the next moment.

Only by being cautious could he better survive. And only by surviving could he have the capital to become stronger.

A few minutes later, Su Bai figured out the distribution of goblins in this camp.

Eight of the lowest-level goblin woodworkers, two goblin hunters, three goblin swordsmen wielding rusty blades and tattered wooden shields, and one small goblin completely different from the goblin thrower, not carrying a javelin but instead wielding a small red wooden stick.

Most importantly, this small goblin’s level was 6!

“A Level 6 small goblin?

“And wielding a small red wooden stick… Could it be a spellcaster?”

Looking at the small goblin, Su Bai hesitated slightly.

He had known for a long time that this was a world with magic. In such a world, with similar levels and attributes, Su Bai was confident he could kill any monster, the only thing to watch out for was spellcasters who had mastered magic.

So far, he had not encountered any true spellcasters.

“Let’s try it!

“With my speed, even if I can’t kill this spellcaster, I can escape calmly. If I can kill this goblin spellcaster, maybe there will be unexpected gains.”

After thinking for a moment, Su Bai concealed his figure and lurked towards the goblin woodcutters scattered in the forest, chopping wood.

[Ding! You killed a goblin woodcutter and gained 10 experience points.]

[Ding! You killed a goblin hunter and gained 15 experience points.]

[Ding! You killed…]

Soon, all the goblin woodworkers and goblin hunters scattered outside the camp were killed by Su Bai, leaving only three goblin swordsmen in the camp, along with the goblin spellcaster they were guarding.

No hesitation.

After lurking to the nearest position, he directly rushed out from the bushes and charged towards the goblin spellcaster.

At this moment, the small goblin noticed Su Bai rushing out.

“￥%#@”

“Enemy!” [Goblin language]

With a roar from the small goblin, all three goblin swordsmen tensed up, holding their swords and shields in front of the small goblin.

The small goblin raised the wooden stick in its hand.

“%￥#*”

“Minor Fireball Spell!” [Goblin language]

At the next moment, a fist-sized red fireball erupted from the wooden stick and shot towards Su Bai!
