Goblin Dependency-Chapter 212 - 121: It’s Not It_3

His gaze instinctively swept to both sides of the cave.

There were no other figures; only the corpses of goblins remained scattered across the nest.

Whoosh—

A gust of rancid wind, thick and suffocating, suddenly blew past him.

Xia Nan felt his hair stand on end, as if some fierce beast had set its sights on him, causing him to freeze in place.

Looking further ahead.

At some point, the half orc that had been at the other end of the cave had come before the two of them.

The shadow cast by its massive physique enveloped him, with a lingering cold murderous intent in its crimson eyes.

Staring.

The air plunged into a deathly silence in an instant.

Then suddenly...

A smirk, eerily peculiar and seemingly innocent, appeared on the half orc’s face.

The atmosphere shifted abruptly.

"You, adventurer association, nest, task?"

Perhaps because it had only recently left the tribe, the half orc was not skilled in Universal Language.

It simply pointed at Xia Nan and Adeline, using a few basic words to convey its meaning.

The half orc’s sudden change in demeanor almost left Xia Nan’s mind in disarray.

After a two-second delay, he roughly understood what the other intended to say.

Seeing Adeline silent, as if still processing, he cautiously and tentatively replied:

"This nest is indeed our task objective, but since you have already cleared it, the loot naturally belongs to you."

To be able to so easily slaughter a Bear Goblin like this, the half orc before them was certainly far more than just an ordinary professional, with power far surpassing their own.

In such a remote environment away from town, a confrontation could happen at a single word.

In this situation, it was only natural to speak kindly, avoiding conflict as much as possible.

Otherwise, if they angered their counterpart, even with the whole "Green Blood" team, they might not be able to stand up to one of its arms.

As for the loot within the cave... what do a few Gold Coins matter compared to their lives?

Upon hearing Xia Nan say this, Adeline finally came to her senses and continued:

"That’s right, everything here is your loot. If you don’t mind, I can also give you the task reward upon our return..."

Before she could finish, the half orc, clad only in half of a Totem Chest Armor, waved his hand to interrupt:

"Small money, Volga doesn’t need."

With a face stained with blood, that peculiar, innocent smile remained.

The half orc known as "Volga" touched his head, and turned to look at the corpses of the Bear Goblin and goblins behind him.

"Goblin ears, sell for Gold Coin."

"You keep, eat, buy meat."

He then flexed his arm, showcasing the muscles that had just strangled the Bear Goblin.

"Goblin, dead, Volga satisfied."

Although somewhat abstract, Xia Nan vaguely understood the meaning behind his words, considering his actions and the current scenario.

The implication was that the loot in the cave wasn’t of interest to the half orc, so they could keep it.

Just by killing these goblins, he was satisfied?

Xia Nan and Adeline exchanged a glance, clearly not having anticipated this development.

But before they could communicate further,

the half orc "Volga," who had been smiling innocently a moment ago, seemed to have remembered something, and his expression suddenly shifted. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"%￥@%#@#&（Beastman Language）!"

Like a student about to be late, his face showed a hint of urgency.

Without further acknowledgment of the two, he muttered in indecipherable Beastman Language, and with a powerful stride of his thick legs,

his burly figure transformed into a gust of pungent wind, instantly vanishing into the depths of the passage.

Within the cave, only silence remained.

A few seconds later, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor again.

Abi appeared, looking anxious, hurrying down to them.

Seeing both of them unharmed, he let out a sharp breath of relief, panting:

"Half orc, whew... professional, I thought... Berg told me to come down to check the situation..."

"It’s alright." Xia Nan reached out and patted Abi on the shoulder, signaling him to catch his breath before speaking, "We just coincidentally encountered it, no hostility."

Turning back, he saw Adeline, who had been standing next to him earlier, now by the Bear Goblin’s corpse.

Unconcerned about the dirt and blood getting on her hands, she forcefully turned the Bear Goblin over, revealing its spine covered in dense fur.

Her dark yellowish eyes scrutinized carefully.

After a long time, she stood again in place, exhaling a long breath.

A murmur seemed to faintly rise in the air:

"It’s not it."
