Tristan scanned the BOSS panel and took in the details.

Description: A warrior of the Goblin clan, having gone through countless battles, with the potential to surpass the limits of its bloodline.
Tristan's face grew grim.
This Goblin was one with charge skills.
The Heroic Leap, commonly known as the "Great Jump," was a skill Tristan was all too familiar with. In his previous life, it was this very skill that allowed him to defeat Damien Arrow.
With the help of gear and skill bonuses, he could perform the Heroic Leap up to seven tis in a row, combined with three Charges, enabling him to close the gap and defeat Damien Arrow.
Tristan knew that Heroic Leap didn't just provide rapid movent; it also created shockwaves upon landing, dealing damage to nearby enemies.
And this Bonecrusher Gada not only had Heroic Leap, but also Charge. This ant it could perform a two-stage assault, relentlessly pursuing its target.
Given Bonecrusher's stats, a single hamr strike would be enough to overwhelm Tristan.
The margin for error in this battle was zero.
If Tristan was hit, it would be a one-way ticket back to the respawn point. No second chances.
While Tristan did have a decoy voodoo doll, using it here seed unnecessary.
"Minimize attack opportunities," Tristan decided.
His plan hadn't changed. He would first go for a surprise attack, killing as many regular Goblins as possible. But afterwards, he would need to be cautious and keep a safe distance from Bonecrusher.
"Once the first wave of damage is dealt, I'll test the limits of Bonecrusher's charge abilities," Tristan thought, deciding to take a slight risk.
With so many Goblins around, it was too tempting to abandon his original plan just because of one Bonecrusher.
Having faced countless battles in his past life, Tristan wasn't one to retreat now.
Seeing that the Goblins hadn't fully gathered yet, Tristan decided to keep observing the situation.
As soon as Bonecrusher appeared, the Goblins in the valley beca restless. They raised their weapons high and let out strange, unintelligible shrieks.
Boom!
The hamr in Bonecrusher's hands slamd down, shattering the bones on the bone-crafted cart. So unlucky Goblins near the cart were struck by flying bone fragnts, dying instantly.
But instead of causing panic, this only made the Goblins more excited.
Strength!
Unmatched strength!
The ultimate strength of the Goblin race!
Looking at Bonecrusher, the Goblins seed to see their future selves.
They too would beco such mighty warriors!
The Goblins pulling the cart seed to shake off their weariness. Serving such a powerful being was an honor!
In the midst of the frenzy, several Silver Grade Goblins pushed through their kin to approach the cart.
Bonecrusher's voice echoed through the valley.
"Roar! Do you wish to challenge my authority?!"
Naturally, these Silver Grade Goblins didn't have the courage to do so.
Even if they all joined forces, they still couldn't defeat Bonecrusher.
After a brief hesitation, the Silver Grade Goblins respectfully lowered their heads and spoke with deference.
"We don't dare, we humbly respect you as king, Lord Bonecrusher."
Bonecrusher let out a mad laugh.
It wasn't calling the nearby nests to show off; it was laying the foundation for a small Goblin kingdom.
With that, it could gain even greater strength.
"Ah! Well said! I'll reward you! Bring the prey over!"
Bonecrusher waved its hand, and a group of Goblins appeared carrying wooden sticks.
Suspended on these sticks were terrified humans.
These humans weren't players, but natives of ExoGenesis. Tristan wasn't surprised.
Goblins were omnivorous creatures. Their diet consisted of berries, wild beasts, and sotis humans. Occasionally, they even ate their own kind.
As for where these humans ca from…
It didn't matter.
Davi City lost many slaves every day.
Tristan stayed hidden in the shadows, having no intention of rescuing these humans.
To interfere now would only put him in danger. It wasn't worth it.
He'd seen too many deaths in his previous life; these NPCs ant nothing to him.
"Eat them!"
"Eat them!"
The Goblins howled as they stared at the humans, who were pale with fear.
The more cowardly ones even wet themselves.
But with Bonecrusher around, none of the Goblins moved to eat them imdiately. They waited for orders.
After all, the rule was: Bonecrusher would eat first.
But Bonecrusher didn't rush to roast the humans over the fire. Instead, it ordered several large vats to be brought in and filled with hot water.
The surrounding Goblins were confused.
What kind of process was this?
However, under Bonecrusher's tyrannical presence, none dared question it. They quietly prepared the vats.
Bonecrusher spoke, "I've heard humans clean their prey before roasting it—removing the skin and cleaning the organs, then marinating it with spices before cooking. I've tried it a few tis, and it really does have a unique flavor. I plan to promote this in my future kingdom."
The Goblins understood at once.
So that's what it was.
No wonder Bonecrusher was so knowledgeable!
As for the humans, upon hearing this, they fainted from fear.
Bonecrusher was a demon in their eyes.
Tristan hadn't expected Bonecrusher to be so... culinary inclined.
This further confird that there was so collusion between Davi City and the Goblins.
Otherwise, where would Bonecrusher have learned about cooked human at?
At that mont, one of the bound humans struggled to spit out a piece of cloth from his mouth and cried out, "Let go! Do you know who I am? My Viscount father will never forgive you!"
Boom.
Bonecrusher swung its hamr, and the human's head exploded on the spot. Blood and bone splattered everywhere.
The hamr was then lifted to Bonecrusher's mouth, licking the remnants of flesh and blood with a manic grin.
"Who are you? You're just my prey!"
Tristan felt a slight sense of regret.
If the Viscount's descendant could have been saved, he might have received a nice reward. But Bonecrusher acted too quickly, not even giving Tristan the chance to trigger a rescue mission.
Still, thinking about it, Davi City didn't have any Viscounts at the mont. So where did this person co from?
What bad luck for him.
In the valley, Bonecrusher looked at the decapitated corpse and waved.
"Rewarded to you!"
The surrounding Goblins imdiately sward in, using claws and teeth to tear into the body.
A few Silver Grade Goblins seed tempted but held back, knowing their status was too low to fight with the regular Goblins for scraps.
