So it was that, in the ti that followed, the whole team began their frenzied pace of travel once again.
A day later, as night fell, they returned to the small forest where they had camped the previous day.
When they got back, they noticed sothing odd.
"Eh, the makeshift overnight tools we made yesterday are all gone, soone must have been here," one of the Professionals couldn’t help but say.
It was no use crying over spilled milk, but what he didn’t expect was that even such trifling items were taken by soone.
"My hammock left hanging on the tree is missing as well."
"..."
Listening to this, Zhou Bai paused, then said, "Be more vigilant tonight."
The fact that soone had taken their things suggested that there might be people active nearby, and since they were just passing through, there was indeed no need for too much conflict with others.
Especially since Lucas and the others had ntioned the people they had offended in Delisha City—if they accidentally left a trail for others to find, what would happen if word got back to the people of Delisha City?
An enemy, after all, is better found later than sooner.
"Yes."
Compared to Zhou Bai and their caution, Glen led the Fox Beastn of the team around to sniff about, eventually approaching Zhou Bai directly.
"Village chief, there’s definitely a tribe living nearby," Glen stated confidently. They had detected an unusual scent, and it wasn’t just from one individual. There was definitely a small but significant settlent in the vicinity.
"Is it human?" Zhou Bai inquired.
Glen shook his head firmly, "No humans! Not Beastn either! Nor Demon Beasts, but I have never slled a Race like this."
Hearing Glen’s words, Zhou Bai paused, then turned to look at Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng beside him, "Dad, Uncle Li, shall we go check it out?"
"Sure." Both Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng agreed.
Knowing there were quite a few people nearby and not understanding their purpose, they too couldn’t be at ease!
Subsequently, making use of the cover of night and dressed in dark outfits, they followed Glen towards a small hill not far from the little forest.
In no ti, after passing the small hill, they arrived at a mountaintop.
Unexpectedly, looking down from the mountaintop, they saw row after row of shabby houses, and there were quite a few figures moving around on the open ground below.
Seeing these figures, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but be stunned.
Because these figures looked rather familiar.
They were not from so other Race, but the Goblin Clan!
This group of goblins had actually brazenly built their own temporary settlent on human territory? It seed they were indeed quite audacious.
The geographical location was also pri, and if not for Glen’s keen nose, they might have passed by without even noticing its existence.
"It’s Goblin Clan," Zhou Zhengping also muttered in Zhou Bai’s ear, "Shall we take them with us?"
The Goblin Clan was quite valuable to Hope Village.
Like the iron mine, for instance, which was now being managed by the two goblins; with them, the territory’s iron ore was in steady supply, and there was no shortage of raw materials for weapons!
If they could bring this group of goblins under their wing, perhaps their territory could gain more ore as well.
And goblins living cautiously outside, indeed, would not compare to a stable life in Hope Village.
After musing for a mont, Zhou Bai then said, "Rember this place, and let’s co back later! We’re not suitable right now, their own Clan mbers are the best for this."
They had goblins in their territory, and having them find their Clan and tell of their good days now would be even better, wouldn’t it?
Having made the decision, the group quietly left.
The following day at dawn, they departed once again.
But even as they left, Zhou Bai still left quite a few things where they had been.
Shortly after they took off, a group of goblins sneaked back to the place, ecstatic upon seeing the things left in their camp.
These humans really were too wasteful! But their loss was the goblins’ gain!
Subsequently, the Goblin Clan Leader, having acquired so many things, felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
At the sa ti, he made a ntal note of the three characters displayed on the packaging of the left-behind items.
Hope Village!
