"I don't want sothing like the Barbarian God appearing in the Goblin Forest. Since your goal is to prevent the Barbarian God's descent, why not cooperate?"
Cooperate?
Serov's face showed a strange expression.
The Goblin's words almost made him laugh.
What qualifications does a re Goblin have to intervene in the Barbarian God incident?
But thinking of that Goblin Warrior's unusual strength and wisdom, Serov set aside his discomfort.
Serov looked up at the Goblin not far away.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
Li ng grinned, shouldering a Big Iron Rod.
"Those Black Robes are currently in the Black Mountain tribe!"
Hearing this, Serov's face changed dramatically.
"How do you know that?" Serov questioned.
Li ng pointed to his own eyes.
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. This thing was given to by the Black Robes."
Looking down at the sacrificial disk in his hand, Serov's expression changed repeatedly.
After a while, he looked up at the Goblin not far away.
"Alright, we'll deal with the Black Robes, and you're responsible for providing us with intelligence on them!"
Although he knew the Goblin was using him, Serov felt this was a mutually beneficial situation.
The Goblins know the Goblin Forest better than anyone.
If they have Goblins as informants, the Papal State can always be aware of the Black Robes' movents in the Goblin Forest.
Seeing Serov agree, Li ng grinned.
"Alright, we'll exchange intelligence every 365 sunsets, right here."
"Agreed!"
There's no reason not to take advantage of free muscle.
Li ng was quite pleased with the agreent reached with the Papal State.
Though future conflicts with humans were inevitable, those were concerns for another day.
"Well then, farewell!"
Li ng turned and dashed towards the northeast.
Where he passed, a long-lasting ice path was left on the water's surface.
Watching the green-skinned figure recede on the water, Serov felt a heaviness in his heart.
A Goblin so different had appeared in the Goblin Forest.
Not only was its strength formidable, but its intelligence was also alarming.
Ordinary Goblins, even if they had the ability to communicate ntally, couldn't converse with it.
Because Goblins are only interested in eating and reproducing.
But this one was different.
Its every move had a strong purpose.
"Nearby countries to the Goblin Forest might be in trouble in the future!"
Such a future was not hard to imagine.
Such a future was bound to happen.
Turning around, a flash of murderous intent passed through Serov's eyes.
If he could, Serov wanted to kill that Goblin on the spot.
To eliminate future threats to humanity.
But priorities matter; compared to that Goblin, the Shadow Council was the Papal State's primary concern.
No matter how strong or smart that Goblin was, the threat it posed to humanity was limited.
But the nature of the Shadow Council was entirely different.
Their goal was to exterminate humanity.
To turn human-inhabited places into wastelands.
The speed of human fleets couldn't compare to Li ng.
Two hours later, Li ng returned to the river.
"Yue'e, Yue'e!"
Li ng called out to Yue'e on the river's surface.
He lay on the ice, subrging his head to observe underwater.
"Boss, I'm here!"
Soon, a massive crocodile's body erged from the water not far away.
Yue'e's enormous body swam towards Li ng.
After reuniting, a swamp crocodile king and a Goblin embarked on their return journey.
"Boss, once we get back, I need a good sleep!"
On the river's surface, Yue'e swam upstream close to the water.
Riding on Yue'e's back, Li ng curiously patted her spine.
"Yue'e, what's up?"
Yue'e's ntion of sleep certainly wasn't in the simple sense of the word.
"Boss, I have so indigestion and need to hibernate for a while to digest the Magic Crystals."
Yue'e's response made Li ng grin.
He thought Yue'e might have been injured while he was away.
Turns out it was just a case of indigestion.
"Yue'e, once you wake up, you should be able to grasp more magic, right?"
The significance of a Magical Beast's hibernation is profound.
They usually only hibernate when breaking through their own bottlenecks.
Could Yue'e be advancing to the King rank?
Li ng looked down at Yue'e's large head in the water.
[Swamp Crocodile King (Elite)]
[Level: 57]
[Strength: 921]
[Defense: 987]
[Agility: 734]
[Magic: 679]
[Water Bullet: LV8]
"There's no bottleneck here!"
Yue'e's status made Li ng murmur to himself.
Only at level 100 would there be a bottleneck.
Yue'e was only level 57, still far from level 100.
It seed it was just a case of eating too many Magic Crystals, leading to indigestion.
"If only there were Slis to eat, it was after eating a Sli that I beca a genius."
Sli?
Li ng rembered sothing.
He recalled the lake full of Slis.
"Yue'e, was it the Water Sli?"
"Yeah! At that ti, I was bullied by my kind, so I went hunting in the river. As I drifted, a silly Sli just slipped into my mouth. I didn't even taste anything before swallowing it, and then I beca a genius. When I returned, I ate all the clan mbers in that area. Hmph, serves them right for bullying !"
Riding on Yue'e's back, Li ng grinned.
As long as it was the Water Sli, that was fine.
Hopefully, that lake could benefit Yue'e.
"Yue'e, let's go, I'll take you to a good place!"
"Boss, where are we going?"
"Head back, you'll see when we get there!"
In the river, Yue'e picked up speed.
She was eager to see where her boss was taking her.
In the following days, Li ng and Yue'e rushed back.
They only paused briefly when encountering Magical Beasts.
Seven days later, in the morning.
On the river outside the northern swamp, the sun shone brightly.
On the river west of the Goblin River, a green-skinned figure rode a giant crocodile upstream.
Their speed was so fast that they left a long-lasting trail on the river's surface.
"Boss, we've reached the northern swamp!"
The feeling of returning ho made Yue'e very happy.
Her stomach was uncomfortable, and she could finally have a good sleep.
Riding on Yue'e's back, Li ng patted her spine.
"Keep going east, hang in there, we'll be there soon."
At Yue'e's speed, they could reach the lake full of Slis in a few hours.
On the river, Yue'e continued east.
Soon, they disappeared on the eastern river surface.
Five hours later, in the northern forest by the Goblin River.
In the dim forest, a rumbling sound echoed.
Looking deeper into the forest, a massive figure was moving its body.
The owner of the massive body was Yue'e.
Although Yue'e was agile in the water, she appeared clumsy on land.
"We're here, we're here, Yue'e, keep it down!"
Leading the way, Li ng suddenly reminded Yue'e.
A Goblin and a crocodile moved stealthily through the forest.
