Goblin Dependency-Chapter 237 - 130 Fame_3

"Adeline, long time no see."

"I wonder if things have been going smoothly for you lately?"

Seeing the situation taking a turn for the better, the village chief, sheltered by the adventurers, wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

He stepped forward to greet Adeline.

A goblin is never-ending.

Cui Xi Village is located near Mist Forest and is almost constantly plagued by goblins, often seeking help from adventurers in the Association.

Like Scar and others, Adeline had also assisted the villagers in clearing out the nearby goblin nest.

Of course, her reputation was much better than the average adventurer and she didn’t demand extra rewards.

Thus, she was invited by the honest and friendly villagers to stay for a meal and established a rapport with the village chief of Cui Xi Village.

Right now, just borrowing her name could help these poor villagers avoid a disaster, so Adeline certainly didn’t mind.

She nodded slightly to the village chief and accepted his greeting.

Seeing this, Scar and the others’ expressions turned even more rigid.

But as for regrets... there wasn’t much.

They just felt unlucky, running into the returning "Green Blood Team" while trying to extort money.

"Haha, so you all know each other? That’s quite a coincidence."

Scar chuckled awkwardly, quietly moving his steps.

"You all chat, I won’t interrupt."

As he spoke, he led his team hastily away, in the direction away from everyone else.

As Xia Nan and others were blocking the road in the middle, with Cui Xi Village behind them, they fled in the direction leading to the other side of the wilderness.

Clearly, they intended to make a large detour and then return to River Valley Town.

Xia Nan stood in place, watching the adventurers escape in a sorry state, frowning slightly.

But seeing that the others nearby, including Adeline, had no intention of pursuing, he just watched Scar and the others disappear into the distant woods before withdrawing his gaze.

"Adeline... all of you, thank you so much!"

"If it weren’t for you today, I don’t know how I would have dealt with this."

With Scar and others gone, the village chief’s tensely stretched body relaxed immediately and with the support of villagers behind him, he managed to stand firm.

Abi stood in the team, somewhat arrogantly like "a fox borrowing the tiger’s might," and spat harshly in the direction where Scar and others fled.

"Bah! To dare make money this way, aren’t you afraid of God’s punishment someday!"

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, a hint of worry appeared on his face, and he asked Adeline:

"Those guys, scared off today, in a couple of days when we leave, won’t they..."

Before he could finish speaking, Berg behind him interrupted with a laugh:

"You kid, you sure think a lot."

"If you’re so kind-hearted, just make an effort to improve your fighting skills and bury that group, then you won’t have to worry, right?"

Upon hearing this, the village chief, who was about to instruct the villagers to leave, couldn’t help but sigh.

Cui Xi Village is located between Mist Forest and River Valley Town, naturally enjoying some conveniences.

Whether it’s trade goods or some basic lodging services, the generous adventurers have allowed the village residents to enjoy the rich income that other frontier villages lack.

But on the other hand, adventurers are mixed with both good and bad, with some good people but also a large portion who put gold coins first, disregarding even life and morals.

Under such circumstances, over the course of a year, compared to the occasional dangerous demon that emerges from Mist Forest to forage in the outskirts, adventurers have caused more harm to Cui Xi Village.

Just two months ago, a drunken adventurer nearly set fire to their village granary.

Xia Nan stood quietly in the team, listening to the conversations between others and the village chief, absorbing valuable information while getting a feel for local customs.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze.

Frowning, he looked over.

He saw the blonde girl, who had been targeted by Scar for their extortion earlier, bow her head pale-faced as if frightened by him and dare not meet his eyes.

Understandably, just after finishing the mission, with the traces of Gnoll’s blood still lingering on him, and not having completely shed the battle mindset, his "killing intent" was still evident.

Coupled with Xia Nan’s sharp features, not enough to scare children into nightmares, but at a glance, he didn’t appear as a kind person.

Enjoying the tranquility.

After listening to some small talk, refusing the village chief’s invitation to stay overnight.

The team was planning to leave.

But suddenly from the nearby wilderness came a burst of rapid footsteps.

The air rushed, carrying a faint scent of blood, and heart-wrenching screams.

"Help!"

"The... all goblins, those goblins..."

Though far away, they could vaguely make out a few words.

Turning to look.

Appearing before them was Scar who had just left.

Only now his teammates were nowhere to be seen.

Scarlet blood flowed from his forehead, covering half of his face.

His right arm twisted with a protruding bone shard, grimacing painfully, running towards everyone.

Mouth wide open, seemingly shouting something.

Only, before Xia Nan and others could fully hear.

A bone stick spun from the woods behind him, shattered his skull amid baby-like wailing.
