From Ant to Abyssal Demon - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Goblin General!

Outside the Goblin “palace.”

In a dense thicket, Su Bai lay quietly in ambush.

The stealth effect brought by the 【Shadow Assault】 skill allowed him to safely reach the center of Goblin City without being detected by a single Goblin.

At this moment, he was quietly observing the Goblins outside the “palace.”

Standing before the large tent was a huge Goblin, two meters tall, wearing black, imposing armor, and wielding a long-handled broadsword — this was undoubtedly his target.

The level 15 Goblin Conqueror, the novice village BOSS with a lord template, Goblin General Gorg.

Beside Gorg stood a short spellcaster in a white robe, the level 14 Goblin Priest with a warrior template.

Surrounding them were four Goblin Centurions in full heavy armor, each wielding a two-handed greatsword. These Goblin Centurions were all level 12, standing 1.7 meters tall, and possessing elite attribute templates.

Finally, there were over twenty level 10 Goblin Guards.

Compared to the Goblin Centurions, the Goblin Guards were only about 1.5 meters tall, wearing somewhat tattered leather armor, and their weapons varied from long swords to broadswords to spears.

However, each Goblin Guard was stronger than the advanced Goblins Su Bai had previously faced.

Nearly thirty Goblins.

Su Bai silently calculated in his mind.

If he could wipe out these Goblins, the rewards would be substantial. Not to mention the system’s possible rewards for completing the task, the attribute templates these Goblins possessed alone would be a huge fortune.

A lord attribute template, a warrior attribute template, and four elite attribute templates… Integrating these into his own attribute template could elevate Su Bai’s attribute template to the elite level, possibly even to the warrior level!

Moreover, the large amount of experience, evolution points, and soul points from hunting these Goblins would be invaluable.

If he could wipe them out, Su Bai would be greatly enriched.

However, he wasn’t a match for this many Goblins in a direct confrontation. To defeat them, he needed a strategy…

After a brief contemplation, Su Bai’s figure slowly disappeared.

—

A few minutes later, a patrol of Goblin Hunters found over a dozen dead Goblins at the edge of Goblin City.

One Goblin Hunter hurried to report to Gorg, while the others carefully searched the area.

Before the reporting Goblin Hunter could reach the “palace,” another patrol of Goblin Hunters also found several dead Goblins.

When the news reached Gorg, the Goblin General flew into a rage and immediately ordered a Goblin Centurion to take five Goblin Guards to investigate and find the enemy.

By this time, Su Bai had moved to another location, continuing his slaughter of Goblins.

Time passed slowly.

The Goblin Centurion found no trace of the enemy, but more Goblin corpses were discovered, spread across the various areas of Goblin City.

Gorg, enraged, sent two more Goblin Centurions, each with five Goblin Guards, to search for the enemy.

He himself joined the search with the Goblin Priest and the last Goblin Centurion.

“Too bad I can’t completely separate Gorg from the other Goblins…

“Never mind, I’ll just clip your wings bit by bit.”

Hiding in the shadows, Su Bai saw that even Gorg had joined the search. He stopped his massacre of ordinary Goblins and quietly stalked a Goblin Centurion who had strayed from the group.

“&%#@!”

“Stay alert and search carefully!” [Goblin language]

Clad in heavy armor and wielding a two-handed greatsword, the Goblin Centurion exuded a commanding presence. Leading five Goblin Guards, he began searching around a tent where Goblin corpses had been found.

As he passed by a thicket, preparing to check for hidden enemies, a shadow suddenly emerged!

Hidden in the thicket.

When the Centurion was just two meters away, Su Bai moved.

【Shadow Assault】!

With 25 agility points and the speed boost from 【Shadow Assault】, Su Bai shot towards the Goblin Centurion like an arrow.

Before the Centurion could react, Su Bai was upon him!

Crack!

A flash of cold light.

Enhanced by the 【Shadow Assault】 attack boost, Su Bai’s mandibles, capable of tearing steel, effortlessly bit through the Goblin Centurion’s neck.

The large head rolled off, and the Goblin Centurion, whose heavy armor was useless, collapsed to the ground.

[Ding! You killed a Goblin Centurion, gaining 1000 experience points and 1 soul point.]

[You overleveled and killed a Goblin Centurion with an elite attribute template. You have acquired the Goblin Centurion’s attribute template.]

The system notification sounded as expected.

At this moment, the five Goblin Guards following the Centurion saw Su Bai and screamed in terror.

“**%￥#@￥#！”

“Black Demon! Black Demon killed the Centurion!”

With a cold smile, Su Bai accelerated, appearing among the Goblin Guards, and his gleaming claws swung out!

Bang!

Slash!

[Ding! You killed a Goblin Guard, gaining 300 experience points.]

One Goblin Guard’s head was smashed, another’s heart was pierced.

Before Gorg and the other Goblin Centurions could reach the scene, Su Bai killed the remaining three Goblin Guards, then vanished into the bushes.

[Ding! You killed a Goblin Guard, gaining 300 experience points.]
