Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 294 - 259: Leaving the Burial Fortress, Goblins Come Calling

Zong Shen took out the Moon God Spring Water and carefully poured it over the wound.

A peculiar scene occurred. As soon as the Moon God Spring Water touched the wound, a violent reaction ensued, with the entire wound sizzling.

White smoke also rose, carrying a foul, fishy smell.

Initially, Zong Shen felt unbearable pain, but soon the pain eased.

He continued to wash it carefully, and after rinsing it two or three times, there were no more violent reactions or smoke, and that heart-piercing pain completely disappeared.

Zong Shen glanced at the wound. Much of the yellow pus had been washed away, and the whole wound was no longer wet and sticky. He took out a bandage and wrapped it around his waist, bandaging the wound.

The pain of the wound now was nothing compared to the previous, piercing pain.

"Damn those Forgotten, with their Netherworld Beam, how vicious!"

Zong Shen cursed as he put on his underwear and then donned his armor again.

The attack hadn't penetrated his armor, yet it inflicted injury on his body, and the wound was particularly vicious; the pain exceeded the damage. Although Zong Shen's life wasn't in danger, he still suffered a lot.

After treating the injury, the Wolf Cavalry had already gathered the organ specimens and remnants of the tentacle monsters. Zong Shen took out several pieces of wood and placed them on top of the remnants.

Favide chanted Small Fireball Magic to ignite them, and the flames quickly rose.

Now, Zong Shen still had a Black Iron Treasure Chest, an Ancient Bronze Treasure Chest, and a Rare Level Trident yet to be examined. He decided to return to the territory first before dealing with these unopened and unexamined treasure chests and tools.

After ensuring that the remnants and marks in the hall were cleaned thoroughly, Zong Shen didn't delay any further, leading his team back along the same path.

"Everyone, be careful and clean up any traces we've left behind."

"Don't leave any gaps."

Zong Shen repeatedly instructed, always remembering the strategy warning when Little Jim's task first appeared, which mentioned that someone would get ahead of them if they exceeded eight points.

The group followed his orders, cleaning their footprints and scattering fresh dust to cover their tracks.

...

Meanwhile, not far from the top of the hall, Raven Saintess Shafuri and a Church Elder were leading a squad of Cold Crow Halberd Warriors and Heretical Giant Power Knights, excavating something in the ruins above.

As the last stone slab was removed, a hidden passage entrance was revealed.

This entrance was less than two kilometers from where Zong Shen's group had entered the Burial Fortress, clearly another branch leading down to the Burial Fortress.

Two Cold Crow Halberd Warriors, holding torches, entered and returned a few minutes later.

"Lady Saintess, Elder, the hidden passage entrance has been successfully excavated, and the passage below is all clear."

"But we smelled a burnt odor in the descending passage..."

The Cold Crow Halberd Warriors reported to Shafuri and the Church Elder, bowing slightly.

"A burnt smell?"

"The Burial Fortress was sealed for years and divided into dozens of sections. We barely found a clear passage near Bazanar's ruins this time." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"How could there be a burnt smell inside?"

The Church Elder questioned, seemingly not believing their story, wondering how there could possibly be a burnt odor.

At this point, Raven Saintess Shafuri walked to the entrance, fanned the air with her hand, sniffed lightly, and her brows furrowed at once.

"There is indeed a faint burnt smell..."

"It should be coming from the Burial Fortress, with something burning below."

Shafuri made a definite judgment, which was not good news for them.

"Let's go down and take a look first."

"At least confirm the situation."

"Once we return to the village, have the deacons distribute the supplies I got from the goblins last night as quickly as possible."

"The goblins gathered their forces nearby, which might be part of a plot."

"Fortunately, with our strength, we don't need to fear them."

"I don't believe their story of being robbed, as there's no sign of battle in their camp."

"Who could silently take away their wealth and goods from such a stingy and deceitful group?"

"They're too skilled at lying, attempting to deceive me with such a clumsy lie."

"They stole our secret supplies, almost delaying our mission. If it weren't for their compensation being barely enough to cover the loss, I'd definitely lead a force to flatten their camp."

Raven Saintess Shafuri spoke to the Church Elder behind her, with some disdain and chilling coldness in her tone, clearly revealing that Shafuri had a significant prejudice against goblins.

So, Zong Shen's encounter yesterday was like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse, passing the blame at the perfect time.

When Shafuri led a team to the goblin camp, the goblins hadn't left, and Zong Shen's attack had delayed their plans. After being looted by Zong Shen, Boswell was furious!

Goblins are synonymous with stinginess and cunning. Suffering such a major setback, the vengeful goblins wouldn't just let it slide.

Boswell decisively reported back to headquarters, requesting reinforcements from the Lentates Giant City branch.

Yesterday, Raven Saintess Shafuri showed up unexpectedly to question them.

Despite finding the situation inexplicable, Boswell compensated Shafuri with some supplies to avoid offending the Calamity Raven Church.

Boswell tried to get information from Shafuri, but because of her deep hatred for goblins, he didn't manage to obtain anything useful.

Thus, the goblin merchant indirectly suffered another hidden loss due to Zong Shen.

After speaking with the Church Elder, Raven Saintess Shafuri led a squad of Cold Crow Halberd Warriors into the tunnel.

...

At the same time, Zong Shen had just emerged from the ruins' sentry tower's tunnel entrance and was trekking towards the spot where they had left their mounts.

He was completely unaware that a group of uninvited guests had arrived at the outskirts of the camp, with six goblin airships hovering 1,500 meters away from Zong Shen's camp.

They cautiously guarded against attacks from ancient guardians and the territory's arrow towers.

Wenresa received notice from Marie and hurried back from the front line.

One goblin airship slowly descended.

Boswell emerged from the airship, his shrewd little eyes scanning the territory inside and out.

Fortunately, Zong Shen wasn't in the territory at present, and the warriors who followed him into the mountains were also not nearby.

This made it difficult for Boswell to confirm whether or not this was the right place.

They had scouted all night, discovering many similar settlements, and this was the largest one, so they came to check it out first at dawn.

Just then, Wenresa returned, and no one in the territory didn't know about their Lord's robbery of the goblins, so most had guessed the goblins' intent.

Wenresa was no exception, calmly riding a Grassland Horse up to Boswell.

With an indifferent and serious expression, she asked proactively.

"This is private land. Please state your purpose, or I will launch an attack on you."

The warriors of Wolf Rider Squad Two also arrived, standing behind Wenresa.

It's said that losing one's face doesn't mean losing ground, and lacking confidence doesn't mean lacking momentum.

At this point, two squads of goblin crossbowmen directly emerged from the goblin airship behind Boswell, aiming their strong crossbows at Wenresa and the Wolf Cavalry, with more airships above preparing to land.

This time, the goblins were prepared, bringing not only ogre thugs but also a large number of goblin warriors to show their determination to expose Zong Shen.

Marie, secretly observing the far-off situation from a small building in the territory, began notifying reinforcements without hesitation. This confrontation must not be lost!
