At the same time, a goblin gathering area.
These goblins were reveling, not for any other reason, but because they had obtained many wonderful items from a passing group.
"These pots are so good they actually threw them away, they really are wasteful!"
"There’s also some food they left behind, it tastes really good, I’ve never eaten anything so delicious before."
"The racks aren’t bad either, just throw on some straw and it could serve as a house."
"If it were always like this, it would be better if more Human groups passed by us!"
"..."
The goblins gathered together, their expressions filled with longing.
Survival was hard for them, so even the smallest things could satisfy them greatly.
Listening to these conversations, the goblin Clan Leader Mills standing nearby felt a deep sorrow.
He couldn’t understand why, in such a vast Stan Continent, there was no room for the Goblin Clan.
Ugly appearances, short statures, weak abilities... these significant disadvantages prevented them from establishing a foothold in this world, and even their unique advantage in mining only made them the target of other races’ covetousness.
He was leading his clan members, constantly hiding and seeking refuge, this time enduring a long journey before choosing this spot.
This place, with scarce resources nearby and harsh surroundings, managed to barely maintain a small gathering area.
Because of this, they alternated between feasting and famine here.
This time’s gains were good in comparison.
Thinking of this, Mills coughed lightly and said, "This time we were lucky to gain something, but this kind of luck won’t come every time; be cautious and don’t venture near recklessly, or else being encountered by a Human Mercenary Team might happen, and they will not treat you gently, they might even trace back to our gathering place, and by then, it would be a disaster for us."
Hearing this, several jubilant goblins restrained their joy and hastily replied; "We understand, we won’t venture out recklessly."
Mills was somewhat satisfied looking at their attitude.
It wasn’t that he was harsh, he was thinking for the whole clan!
Afterward, the group of goblins having finished sorting out their loot, took the team deeper into the mountains.
There, they managed some land for planting crops, which now depended on for daily food. They went so deep precisely to avoid detection.
Also, a group was preparing to scout nearby for signs of solitary Demon Beasts, which were their main source of food.
As for Mills, he specifically sent a team to monitor the movements at Zhou Bai’s group’s last resting place.
He feared the appearance of Human groups was not isolated, as frequent movements would make this gathering place unsuitable.
A small gathering spot thus buzzed with activity up and down.
They were all striving to survive.
As they were unaware, Victor and Denglop were rapidly approaching this location, hardly pausing along the way.
The accompanying soldiers understood their haste and kept quiet, silently following.
Only when Victor and the other could no longer endure it did they halt.
It was then that Victor realized he had been overly hasty, almost neglecting the others.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t consider your feelings," Victor sincerely apologized to the group of soldiers.
However, the temporary leader of the soldiers, Quan Ziqiang, waved his hand indifferently, "It’s okay, we understand your urgency, we can handle it."
This distance was nothing for them, seasoned soldiers accustomed to both day and night training, now far from the weak newcomers they were when they initially arrived in this world.
"It’s been such a long time since we’ve seen our clan members," sighed Victor.
"How did you die?" Quan Ziqiang asked, a bit curious.
These two goblins in the territory often left early and returned late, mostly seen occasionally at the solvent cave, looking like they had social anxiety, thus others did not want to bother them, let alone to probe into their past traumas.
"A mining accident," Victor responded without intending to hide it, a trace of sadness appearing on his face, "My entire clan was enslaved in that mine, digging day and night. They never regarded us as Humans, never bothering with the upkeep of the mine, which is why the cave collapsed. After I was crushed, I woke up conscious in the Undead Kingdom, not knowing how many survived or their current situation."
