Chapter 26 – Shadow in the Forest

  With a wave of his hand, Li Meng anded, "Disperse! Gobu Da, Gobu Ke, Gobu Ta, let's move!"

  The goblins gathered in front of the wooden hut scattered in all dires.

  Shortly after, Li Mehree hunting parties westward, departing from the tribe.

  That night, the forest was eerily quiet.

  In the darkness, small shadows occasionally flitted by.

  This world had magical beasts as well as ordinary animals.

  Those with magic crystals were magical beasts; those without were just regur animals.

  Suddenly, a rustling sound emerged from the depths of the forest.

  Before long, the sound grew closer.

  In a moment, a rge group of shadoeared in the forest.

  They spread throughout the forest, moving in the same dire.

  The sound of dry leaves being trampled echoed through the entire forest.

  Among the shadows, Li Meng was spicuously present.

  This time, Li Meng did n Benben along.

  Benben was te, unsuitable for stealthy operations.

  Li Meng's goal this time was to collect ghost spider webs.

  He o avoid bat as much as possible.

  It had been five days sihey left the tribe.

  During these five days, the hunting party hunted while moving towards the Ghost Spider Forest.

  The tribe was not far from the Ghost Spider Forest, only about twenty kilometers in a straight line.

  If they marched quickly, they could reach the Ghost Spider Forest in a day at most.

  "Boss, it's the smell of the s!"

  In the dark, Gobu Qiang found the boss by st.

  Li Meng also caught the damp and deg smell in the air.

  Smelling the s meant they were close to the Ghost Spider Forest.

  Meanwhile, in the forest he goblin hunting party.

  Several shadows were hiding in the bushes.

  "The noise is loud, it's the smell of goblins!"

  "There are too many, be careful not to be discovered by them!"

  "They won't find us; we've smeared mud on ourselves to interfere with the goblins' sense of smell."

  "What should we do now?"

  "A Bu, ohe goblins have gone far, return to the tribe and inform the high priest of the situation here."

  Hiding in the bushes, A Da stared ily at the figures passing through the forest.

  His brother had retly died at the hands of the goblins.

  Though hatred filled his heart, he wouldn't fight those disgusting creatures at night.

  "What about you guys?"

  "We'll keep an eye on the goblins to see what they're up to."

  "Uood!"

  Soon, the otion in the forest gradually faded away.

  As the gobli, the forest returo silence.

  Suddenly, there was some movement in a patch of bushes.

  From the shaking bushes, a sturdy figure crawled out.

  "Be careful, I'm heading back."

  In the dark, only whispers could be heard in the forest.

  A Bu turned and hurried towards the depths of the forest in the dire of the s.

  "Whoosh!"

  After only a few steps, a sharp "whoosh" sounded.

  A pierg sound suddenly came from the right side of the forest.

  With a "thud," A Bu's running figure suddenly halted.

  It was as if he had been struck by an invisible force, his body flying sideways.

  He flew a full five meters before tumbling to the ground.

  "A Bu!"

  The sudden ge elicited a gasp from the bushes.

  "Don't make a sound!"

  Hiding in the bushes, A Da broke out in a cold sweat.

  He covered his panion's mouth with his hand.

  He khey might have been discovered by the goblins.

  At this moment, in the depths of the forest oher side.

  Li Meng stood with a long spear in hand, his gaze fixed on the depths of the forest.

  "Boss, it's a lizardman!"

  Behind Li Meng, Gobu Qiang looked at the boss with admiration.

  The boss had thrown the long spear over a hundred meters, precisely hitting the lizardman.

  Such a distance, with so many trees iween.

  Even ten of him, no, twenty of him couldn't do the same.

  Li Meng she air, listening to the sounds in the depths of the forest.

  There were definitely more lizardmen in the forest; lizardmen never acted alone.

  But their exact location was uain to Li Meng.

  "Let's go!"

  After a long while, Li Meng turned a.

  Gobu Qiang cast a mog g the depths of the forest.

  He grinned and quickly followed the boss.

  One day, the lizardmen would end up as nothing more than dung in his belly.

  Soon after, the forest returo plete tranquility.

  Half an hour ter, murmurs arose from the bushes in the depths of the forest.

  "No more noise, have they left?"

  "Not sure, but they should be far away by now!"

  Moments ter, several sturdy figures crawled out from the bushes.

  A Da quickly ran to A Bu's body.

  "A Da, how is A Bu?"

  "He's dead, pierced through by a long on!"

  A Da gripped the long spear embedded in A Bu's chest and pulled it out forcefully.

  The spear was immediately extracted from A Bu's body.

  "The goblins have discovered us, but they 't pinpoint our locatio's go, head back!"

  Moments ter, three lizardmen hurriedly left the forest, carrying their panion's body.

  Five hours ter, in the s.

  Silver moonlight bathed the nd, slightly dispelling the darkness of the s.

  pared to the forest, the s was vast.

  It was like a great pin, dotted with pools of water.

  y pert of the nd was submerged, but the water was shallow, no more thay timeters deep.

  In the s, there was a small isnd with a cluster of thatched huts.

  That night, in one of the rger, roofless huts.

  Silver moonlight filtered through the roof, slightly dispelling the darkness inside.

  "High Priest, this is the on used by the goblins!"

  A Bu k and respectfully presehe long spear with both hands.

  In front of him was a grass mat.

  Sitting o was a lizardmairely snow-white.

  Its pure white scales glistened in the moonlight.

  Though a lizard, its graceful curves were beautiful and alluring.

  It extended a delicate hand to take the spear from A Bu.

  The white lizard looked down at the spear, gently caressing the spearhead with its right hand.

  "This is iron, a on only humans use!"

  Humans?

  A flicker of surprise crossed A Bu's eyes as he bowed his head.

  A few years ago, A Bu had entered human adventurers oher side of the mountain.

  Though they used iron ons, they seemed different from those used by the goblins.

  "Though both are iron, the quality is muferior to that of humans!"

  The white lizard gently set down the spear, its gaze shifting to a lizardman sitting quietly nearby.

  "Elder A Dao, we must not let those goblins pollute our s!"

  The white lizard's voice was soft, but its eyes were filled with disdain.

  In this world, no race liked the goblins, those monstrous creatures.

  The sitting lizardman opes eyes.

  It stood up and strode out.

  "Rest assured, High Priest, mere goblins are not worth w about!"

  Watg the elder's departing figure, the white lizard's face showed a ptive expression.

  It looked down at the spear beside it, its face thoughtful.
