Goblin Dependency-Chapter 210 - 121: It’s Not It

To determine whether Bear Goblins are present in a goblin nest.

For adventurers active in the Mist Forest, it is not difficult as long as they have a bit of experience.

The most obvious sign is, of course, the wider entrance passage compared to the average goblin settlement.

Standing over seven feet tall, with a physique as burly as a grizzly bear, the first thing they do after becoming a goblin tribe leader is to widen the cave.

Of course, compared to their "Earth Goblins" cousins with intelligence comparable to humans, Bear Goblins’ modifications are more straightforward.

They uphold the idea that "bigger is better."

If not for the fragile mud structure inside the burrow and their crude and barren construction knowledge limiting them.

These creatures, wrapped in thick fur and simple-minded, might even force their emaciated goblin minions to keep expanding the nest deep into the Mist Forest.

Next, are the animal corpses near the nest.

This is also very easy to understand.

Once a Goblin Tribe acquires an elite leader, their combat ability will undergo qualitative changes.

Originally, goblins could only survive by gnawing tree bark, digging grass roots, catching an occasional rabbit or wild bird, and they were lucky if they could scavenge a full meal.

Under the leadership of Bear Goblins, their menu becomes significantly more luxurious.

Water deer, forest cattle, some unfortunate adventurers, and even some low-level demons, all end up on the dining table under the Bear Goblin’s nail hammer.

Therefore, if a large number of adult animal bones are found near a goblin nest, that cave certainly has issues.

Finally, experienced adventurers like Berg, who have been active in River Valley Town for years, can even determine the internal conditions through the smell of feces and slight traces at the cave entrance.

Now, all the above signs have appeared.

The probability of Bear Goblins being present in the nest has reached over eighty percent.

Under normal circumstances, the "Green Blood" squad without a professional would naturally withdraw without hesitation.

However, facing the same situation as on the day they met Xia Nan, the intense smell of blood and the eerily silent environment made the team captain Adeline decide.

She and Xia Nan would enter the cave together to investigate.

"Drip."

Sticky water droplets with a ghostly green sheen slowly dripped, splashing a cluster of murky, tiny water splashes on the dirty, muddy ground.

Xia Nan held the single-hand Wooden Sword, "Green Pine," at a suitable length, slightly tilting his body, maintaining a posture ready to exert force, cautiously moving his steps.

Ahead, at about half a body length distance, Adeline remained at the forefront, both hands wielding iron hammers, almost blocking the entire passage.

As the captain of the "Green Blood" squad, even when no one demands it usually, whenever a challenge arises, Adeline is always the first to step up, taking the lead, standing at the most dangerous spot.

It’s hard to imagine such a responsible captain among low-level adventurers, obsessed with the pursuit of power and wealth.

If not for her extreme obsession with goblins, her development would certainly be much better than now. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

With his "Teeth Hunting," Xia Nan’s short-distance movement speed far surpasses most low-level adventurers.

Although he did not explain in detail to Adeline and others, after so many missions, including the instant kill of "Huo Ya" Bennett in that battle, his teammates realized he possesses this displacement-type Battle Skill.

Extremely agile.

Coupled with his outstanding combat power, it seems he’s already touching the edge of a professional.

Considering all this, he is the best choice to enter the cave with Adeline.

As for Berg...

Relying on the Longbow, his role as a long-range shooter limits him in the nest, reducing his combat power to less than half.

Staying outside the cave with Abi on lookout allows him to maximize his scouting ability and abundant adventuring experience.

Xia Nan’s nostrils flared as his dark eyes stared into the depths of the tunnel, his brows unconsciously furrowing.

Previously outside, he felt nothing, but now following Adeline deeper inside, he increasingly sensed something wrong with the nest.

"Could it be that it’s already been cleared by other adventurers before we arrived?"

"If that’s the case..."

It’s not good news either for the team itself or for him.

Even though they received the task bounty reward from the Association without doing anything, they won’t get a single coin from the goblin bounty, which makes up the bulk of the "Hunting Day" income.
