Chapter 36: Screams in the Night
The Lizardn had high potential, especially with soone like Bai Ling, a mage.
But from Bai Ling’s appearance, it was clear she was an exception.
As long as Goblins survived, they had no issue evolving into Goblin Warriors.
Lizardn, on the other hand, had no concept of evolution.
They could only enhance their strength through physical training and combat skills, whereas Goblins could grow stronger by eating.
The forr had a higher baseline, while the latter had a higher ceiling.
When Li ng arrived in front of the straw hut, the sounds of battle were already moving westward.
The area around the straw hut had been cleared of Lizardn.
The Goblins were sweeping through the entire tribe.
Looking at the ground around the hut, piles of Lizardn corpses could be seen stacked on top of each other.
"Oh?"
Standing in front of the straw hut’s door, Benben looked troubled.
The hut was too small for it to enter.
Lowering its head, it glanced at its leader, who had just arrived. Benben pointed at the hut.
Li ng grinned and patted Benben’s leg.
“Benben, leave the rest to .”
Looking at the hut’s open door, Li ng smirked lewdly.
For months, he had been suppressing his instincts to reproduce.
Tonight, he would no longer resist his body’s primal urges.
With that, Li ng swaggered into the straw hut.
Monts ago, Bai Ling had fled into the hut, and Li ng had seen it clearly.
That woman’s ntal state had completely collapsed.
As soone of high status who had always lived within the tribe, she had never experienced death.
How could she comprehend its terror?
“D-don’t co any closer!”
The straw hut was not entirely dark.
Moonlight spilled through the skylight, softly dispelling the shadows.
Inside, Li ng spotted Bai Ling curled up in a corner.
“Those young Lizardn died because of you. Do you want the won and children to die for you too?”
Bai Ling’s face froze as she stared blankly at the approaching Li ng.
Standing before her, Li ng looked down with a sneer.
Reaching out, he grabbed Bai Ling’s hand.
He then forcibly pressed her beneath him.
“Live with this guilt. Only if you survive can your people survive.”
With that, Li ng grinned grotesquely and tore off the beast hide covering Bai Ling’s chest.
Her high, human-like breasts were exposed to his gaze.
Li ng stared greedily, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had assud Lizardn were oviparous, but he was clearly wrong.
Like humans, Lizardn were viviparous; otherwise, these breasts wouldn’t exist.
Bai Ling didn’t resist. She stared blankly at the full moon, allowing the grotesque Goblin on her to tear away her beast skirt.
Not long after, a suppressed scream echoed from the hut.
This was followed by muffled grunts and groans.
Under the full moon, the swamp was anything but peaceful tonight.
Two hours later, the noisy White White-Scaled Tribe gradually quieted down.
In the darkness, sounds of chewing echoed throughout the tribe.
The Goblins, famished after hours of battle, tore into the corpses.
The thick stench of blood perated the air, enveloping the entire area.
Around the largest hut, the chewing noises were the loudest.
Nurous Goblins gnawed greedily on the Lizardn corpses.
Not far away, the surviving Lizardwon and children watched in terror as their tribespeople were devoured.
“Ah!”
At that mont, a scream suddenly ca from within the straw hut.
This drew the attention of the nearby Goblins feasting on the corpses.
With bloodied mouths, they looked toward the hut.
Monts later, their leader erged from the doorway.
In his hand was a thick white tail, from which he tore a chunk of at with his teeth.
“Hmm, not bad!”
The flavor surprised Li ng.
Bai Ling’s tail at was better than anything he had ever eaten—chewy, with a faint milky aroma.
[Skill Devoured: Acquired Skill "Heart Speech"]
The system notification brought a grin to Li ng’s face.
For Bai Ling to survive, she had no choice but to offer her tail.
Otherwise, death awaited her.
Lizardn could regenerate their tails, so losing one wouldn’t harm Bai Ling much.
In half a year, her tail would grow back as good as new.
Standing in the doorway, Li ng continued savoring the tail at.
Bai Ling’s other skill, "Ice Elent Control," was an excellent ability.
If one tail wasn’t enough to extract it, he could always eat her regenerated tail later.
[Skill Devoured: Acquired Skill "Ice Elent Control"]
Before finishing the tail, the system notification appeared again.
“Lucky . Here, a reward for you!”
Satisfied, Li ng tossed the remaining tail to a nearby Goblin underling.
The Goblins scrambled to grab the prize.
Looking up at the full moon, Li ng narrowed his eyes.
Based on his foresight from Life Simulation, Bai Ling couldn’t stay in the White Phosphorus Tribe.
If she remained, she would undoubtedly betray him.
Li ng wasn’t naive enough to think that Bai Ling would fall in love with him after what he had done.
Such things only happened in illogical stories.
As a Goblin, despised by all intelligent races, Bai Ling would only feel sha and wait for revenge.
“Who cares?”
A hint of disdain flashed in Li ng’s eyes as he reached out toward the moon.
As a Goblin, Li ng had no intention of being a “good person.”
Since Goblins were universally loathed, he would use his existence to trample on the pride and dignity of those other races.
“No matter who you are, watch closely. I will tornt this world to my heart’s content!”
Li ng grinned viciously, clenching his fists as if declaring war on so unseen force.
After a while, he lowered his hands.
Turning slightly, he looked at Benben, who sat in front of the straw hut.
“Benben!”
The sudden voice in Benben’s mind startled it.
Benben’s massive fra trembled as it shook its head violently.
“It’s , your leader!”
Benben lowered its head to look at Li ng.
It extended a massive finger to point at him.
“Yes, it’s !”
“Leader, how did you get into my head?”
“I’m not in your head. I’m using magic to communicate with you.”
“Magic? This voice in my head is magic?”
“Yes, it’s magic.”
“Oh, I see. Benben understands!”
Li ng sat down at the doorway, the moonlight illuminating their contrasting figures.
“Benben, do you have any family?”
“Yes, long ago, we all lived in a cave. But one day, they all disappeared.”
“Disappeared? Did you look for them, Benben?”
“Leader, why should I look for them?”
