Chapter 229: Luo Yong’s Plan to Escape
Damn it damn it damn it!!!
What the hell is going on!!
The attributes keep dropping. How could so many goblins heading to Granville Forest have died! There were thirty thousand of them! Many were Class C or even Class B advanced goblins—even the Granville Monster Forest shouldn’t pose such a threat—
Wait…
Luo Yong suddenly recalled the three ant-shaped monsters capable of human transformation that had previously invaded his territory.
Like goblins, ants are social monsters. Could it be…those three ant monsters originated from the Granville Monster Forest? Were the goblins slaughtered by these ant monsters?
The more he pondered, the more plausible it seemed.
Damn it all!
Even now, the panel’s attributes continued their relentless decline.
Each downward tick conjured images of goblins being slaughtered one after another.
No—he couldn’t just wait here like prey!
What now? If all the monsters sent to Granville Monster Forest perish, his own survival would be at stake!
Yet if thirty thousand goblins couldn’t prevail, leading his remaining two thousand would be suicide.
Escape…
His only option.
With his current stats, facing those three women again meant certain defeat. Activating the "Berserk" skill might level the field, but its time limit made victory impossible. Damned limitations!
Even ignoring the ant tribe’s potential retaliation, there remained that cursed Inukami.
Though weaker than the trio combined in raw power, the beast’s blinding speed meant escape would be impossible in his weakened state.
He had to flee before the ant tribe or Inukami arrived!
The eastern plains offered sparse resources, but beyond lay forests and hills ripe for conquest.
He’d forgotten about the "side effect" of his Unique Skill—Goblin King.
As escape plans formed, familiar heat surged through his veins, clouding his thoughts.
Unwelcome yet inevitable—the skill’s curse demanded nearly half each day be spent satiating unnatural urges, leaving barely four waking hours of freedom.
"Of all cursed timing!"
Though urgency screamed through his veins, ignoring this compulsion would drain his Health Value to lethal levels—a lesson learned through near-fatal experience.
"Come here!"
Survival first required quenching this fire.
At his growled command, a dozen female goblins shuffled forward from the cave’s shadows.
When Luo Yong saw these naked green-skinned creatures, he lunged forward abruptly…
Immediately, intense gasps and muffled roars reverberated through the cavern as Luo Yong vented his rage from recent misfortunes upon these female goblins.
Under his brutal assault, several female goblins initially succumbed to blood loss, shrieking as they perished.
The female goblin with facial features resembling the human race, positioned last in line, narrowly escaped this fate.
"Ga…ga-ba." (Th-thank you, master.)
During the act, the female goblin lay twitching faintly on the straw-strewn bed.
After flipping her over, Luo Yong’s brows knitted slightly.
"You’re pregnant again."
He released her and turned to other female goblins.
This wasn’t out of compassion—this particular human-like goblin inexplicably birthed superior mutated goblins, accounting for nearly a tenth of the advanced goblins formerly in the Goblin Tribe.
Though one-tenth seemed insignificant, considering the tribe’s thousands of female goblins, her solitary contribution equaled that of hundreds combined. Preserving her was crucial for future resurgence.
Her existence largely explained Luo Yong’s resilience despite massive goblin casualties.
Mid-process, external disturbances echoed into the cave.
His heart lurched, hips faltering momentarily.
Goblin wails!
Ant kin? Or Inukami?
Though panic surged, he couldn’t halt mid-act.
As external screams persisted, Luo Yong watched his status panel’s attributes plummet rapidly.
His former strength—equivalent to a mid-Class A monster with thirty thousand goblins—now barely reached entry-level Class A, marginally surpassing his personal tier.
By conclusion, silence reigned outside.
Attributes…had dwindled to negligible levels.
Damnation—annihilated completely?
Ants or Inukami? Regardless, survival took precedence over vengeance.
Besides him and the female goblins, thirty-odd Class B Goblin Warriors and Big Goblins remained—his sole surviving advanced forces.
No Goblin Wizards lingered; all had fallen to giant wolves earlier.
"With me!"
Luo Yong yanked the panting female goblin from bedding, leading the entourage deeper into the cavern.
True to "a cunning hare keeps three burrows," Luo Yong had prepared an alternate exit for emergencies—a tunnel he’d excavated opposite the main entrance.
Yet delay proved fatal.
Before reaching the escape route, darkness swooped past.
"Gah-ba!!"
A Big Goblin behind them screeched, collapsing thunderously with a gaping chest wound, wheezing through crimson foam.
Luo Yong glimpsed their assailant—a gray ant-monster slightly bulkier than standard Granville Wolves.
Bloodied forelimbs betrayed its lethal strike.
Unrelenting, the creature leapt onto its victim, proboscises churning methodically within the injury.
"GAAH!!"
The Big Goblin thrashed until shadows coalesced into binding tendrils, freezing its movements.
Shadow manipulation? What sorcery…
As Luo Yong stared, the ant’s torment silenced its prey. For an instant, he fancied he saw the insectoid visage twist into disturbingly human satisfaction.
