After seven days, upon reaching formal adulthood, his attributes will undergo a significant eruption.
“Go, send the goblins to investigate whether there are other suitable places for us to live deeper in the Strange Mist Forest. Roughly sketch out the terrain map for me and delineate the activity ranges of various ferocious beasts!”
Chen Le instructed the two purple demon goblins, commanding them to carry out the task. As for ordering the white ghost goblins and the green-skinned goblins...

He hoped that these goblins, with their combined intelligence not exceeding thirty points, could understand and execute his intentions, which was somewhat wishful thinking.
It was still up to the purple demon goblins to gradually arrange things.
Upon hearing Chen Le’s words, the old purple demon goblin muttered something in its mouth and pointed in the direction outside the cave.
“Are there other goblin teams over there?”
They were responsible for mapping out the outer goblin region and improving existing traps and setting up more new traps as requested by Chen Le.
Unknown to anyone, drastic changes were taking place in the scattered goblin region on the outskirts of the Strange Mist Forest.
Meanwhile, on the human side, unrest also led to results.
Miss Lila’s escort team rushed back to Count Earl Rogerson’s territory closest to the town here overnight, rescuing the first team to save Lila. They arrived at the outskirts of the Strange Mist Forest by noon the next day.
Chapter Five: Her Body Reacts
They were adventurers urgently summoned from the local area. Under the leadership of several guards from Lila’s attacked team, they entered here and arrived at the site where Lila was attacked.
After arriving here, those guards were a bit puzzled at first.
Because the signs of the battle here seemed to have changed, yet stayed the same, which made them wonder if they remembered some details wrong.
An old, burly man with a stubbly beard, Keltan, walked to the most conspicuous spot here, where the traces left by the explosion of the attacked carriage were, and his experienced eyes immediately noticed a clue.
The magical attack was aimed at the carriage, so usually there would only be small indentations on the ground caused by the explosion.
However, picking up the scattered burnt parts of the carriage revealed that the ground underneath seemed to have not been affected by the magical explosion, only showing burnt wood chips. This meant that either the magical attack landed above the carriage or had less power.
However, this contradicted with the guards’ recollection of the explosion’s power and its direct position below the carriage.
Keltan wiped the ashes off the ground, his gaze showing a hint of hesitation.
Could it be that someone tampered with this place while the guards were away seeking reinforcements?
No, that’s not possible.
Keltan shook his head.
Even those goblins, whose intelligence was far inferior to humans, wouldn’t bother to do such an unnecessary act. And even among humans, those clever enough wouldn’t likely engage in such futile behavior because it wouldn’t stop the rescue and subsequent siege.
Would goblins be clever enough to come here at night and tamper with the scene to mislead them about their strength?
As others came to observe the scene and assess yesterday’s battle, Keltan didn’t voice his recent suspicion.
As an old adventurer, caution was necessary, but showing excessive caution towards goblins like these foot soldiers in front of everyone would only affect his previously towering image.
And as someone living in this generation, his understanding of goblins surpassed everyone present. He had encountered both the white ghost goblins and the purple demon goblins, and had even killed them together with others.
These cunning and cautious goblins wouldn’t dare to appear again in a place where they had previously committed a crime in such a short time.
They would choose other seemingly safe places to continue their activities, so the probability of someone tampering with this place was infinitely close to zero.
Now their main task was to find the location of the goblins who attacked Lady Lila’s team. Perhaps their team’s strength wouldn’t be enough to completely wipe out these goblins, but driving them away and rescuing the Earl’s daughter would be more than achievable.
“Goblins are not mindless creatures who fear nothing and charge blindly into danger. Otherwise, this race wouldn’t have survived until now.”
“This goblin shaman, with its staff, releases fire attribute magic. The depth of its magic is within Level 1 (Magic Power 1-99), and its power is moderate.”
“The goblin berserker, judging from the description of its size and weapon by several guards, we would need at least two people in an open area to hold it down.”
“If a fight occurs in a narrow goblin cave, three people can barely hold off one, and having one more person wouldn’t provide enough space for coordination,” analyzed Ludin, the middle-aged adventurer with braided hair.
Keltan nodded in agreement with the man’s assessment.
Upon hearing the adventurer’s analysis, the guards in armor furrowed their brows slightly.
They had a total of eight guards and seven adventurers on this journey, with only one of them being a mage.
Holding off two goblin berserkers would require six people, dealing with a goblin shaman would need a mage, plus one or two more for protection.
With the remaining few, how could they fight dozens of green goblins in the complex goblin cave while also searching for Lady Lila’s position and rescuing her from the siege?
They couldn’t use smoking or burning methods to force the goblins out of the cave, as it might harm Lady Lila, who was held captive inside.
Everything had to prioritize Lady Lila’s safety.
At that moment, Ludin noticed the solemn expressions on the noble guards’ faces, and a smile filled his face as he said, “Please don’t misunderstand, gentlemen. When I mentioned needing three people to hold off a white ghost goblin, I meant you, not us.”
The head deputy guard furrowed his brow, “What do you mean?”
Ludin smiled, and the other adventurers joined in.
“We are used to dealing with trouble like goblins and wild wolves. We lack the combat experience that you all have due to your pampered lifestyles, where you either patrol or train every day.”@@@@
