Chapter 27: You Fight the Enemies, and I Will Finish Them Off
“Gabba gabba gabba!”
“Abba?”
“Gabba gabba!!”
“(Sniff) Gabba! Gabba!”
The goblins communicated in their strange language.
One goblin pointed at the stone cave, and after a brief conversation, another goblin, who appeared to be the leader of the group, carefully sniffed the air.
The scent emanated from the cave, causing him to shout excitedly.
However, they weren’t foolish enough to simply charge into the cave while shouting.
Instead, they divided into two groups and circled around to approach the cave.
Once they reached either side of the cave, the goblin who had been shouting peered inside.
Within the cave, the most striking sight was the massive saber-toothed bear, now lying motionless on the ground, with a pool of dried blood spreading beneath it.
It was unmistakably dead.
Since the Weak Ants were working on the bear meat with their backs to the cave entrance, the goblin could see the entire corpse.
Surrounding the bear were the lifeless bodies of eleven wolves.
It was a perfect scene of mutual destruction, which indeed was what had occurred.
“Gobble! Gobble gobble!!”
The goblin’s strange goat-like eyes widened, and its small head seemed to comprehend something as it suddenly shouted and danced with excitement.
The other goblins were initially startled by its shouting, but upon seeing the scene in the cave, they too began to shout.
They rushed in without any fear.
They charged right up to the saber-toothed bear and eagerly opened their mouths full of sharp teeth.
They bit ferociously at the bear’s fur.
…
It was almost time.
These goblins appeared not only weak but also foolish.
That thing, wow, seeing it with my own eyes is truly amazing… This, this is exactly how it is! It’s too eye-catching; it’s definitely not my fault! I am not a dirty girl!
Ignore, ignore…
In short, take them down!
Suddenly, twenty Weak Ants that had been hiding behind the bear’s body rushed around it and pounced on the goblins who were tearing at the bear’s fur!
The goblins, completely focused on the bear meat, had no time to react.
Some had their legs bitten off, some had their hands bitten off, and some even had Weak Ants leap onto their faces and tear them apart.
Immediately, three goblins were gravely injured and rendered immobile.
The remaining five goblins realized what was happening, but they were visibly terrified.
“Kaba Kaba!!”
At the leading goblin’s shout, the remaining four goblins seemed to recall something, tightening their grips on their wooden clubs and crude stone axes. They swung their weapons fiercely at the nearby Weak Ants.
Thanks to their weapons, several Weak Ants were knocked away.
However, being knocked away only reduced their Health Value by five or six points, while the remaining Weak Ants continued their assault on the goblins.
Lin Yu felt relieved.
Even though they possessed weapons, it was only a matter of time before this group of goblins would be defeated.
But the condition was that the goblins would quietly accept their defeat.
After a brief fight, the goblin leader suddenly turned and began to flee.
The leader’s sudden action surprised Lin Yu and even caught the four battling goblins off guard.
They hurriedly followed, attempting to escape as well.
Lin Yu wouldn’t simply let them escape. Once she regained her composure, she quickly ordered the Weak Ants to pursue them.
However, the goblins ran remarkably fast, and the Weak Ants couldn’t catch up immediately.
Activate the skill “Leadership.”
The “Leadership” skill was granted to the two Class D Weak Ants in the lead and to the other eight unclassed Weak Ants.
The unclassed Weak Ants’ speed doubled, while the two Class D Weak Ants’ speed increased by more than double.
The two Class D Weak Ants almost instantly caught up with the last two goblins.
They easily bit through the goblins’ legs, and the two goblins screamed as they collapsed.
Ignoring the two goblins with broken legs, they continued to pursue the next two goblins ahead.
This time, the two goblins sensed the commotion behind them and were alert.
They swung the wooden sticks in their hands at the two Class D Weak Ants.
Bite.
Suddenly, the two Weak Ants that used their skills bit the wooden sticks in half and then launched themselves into their arms.
Snap—
After a sharp sound, the two goblins sustained huge wounds on their sides, and their bodies crumpled to the ground.
However, due to the two goblins’ blockade, the goblin leader had already escaped from the cave.
After a moment’s consideration, Lin Yu decided to abandon the pursuit of the goblin leader.
There were three reasons.
First, to maintain the “Leadership” effect on the two Class D Weak Ants, she needed to keep them in her line of sight, and outside the cave, there were only trees at the base of a small hill. In other words, she would have to follow the two Weak Ants to chase the goblin leader.
The second concern was uncertainty; she wasn’t sure if she would encounter other monsters during the chase, and she was also uncertain whether the goblin had reinforcements.
The third concern was that the remaining Magic Value might not suffice to maintain the “Command” effect for more than a minute.
This was because Lin Yu discovered that when two Weak Ants advanced to Class D, the “Command” effect not only doubled but also the consumption of Magic Value doubled.
When applied to unranked Weak Ants, it was all attributes plus one.
But when applied to Class D Weak Ants, it became all attributes plus two.
…
So, Lin Yu redirected her attention to the seven goblins in the cave who could no longer stand.
She initiated Identification.

Goblin: A common low-level monster found on the continent, they possess simple minds but are cruel and violent, with a strong desire for sex and a high capacity for reproduction.
…
There were two goblins with a strength of 1, but the other goblins’ abilities were just slightly superior to the unranked Weak Ants.
But that wasn’t the main point.
The main point lay in the description that followed… desire, ah, no, it’s the sentence after that! Very strong breeding ability…
In other words, if that escaped leader goblin lived in a large goblin tribe, then if he returned, he would likely bring other goblins to seek revenge.
Wow, what should I do?
Calm down, first, I need to remain calm…
It would take time for that creature to return and bring others, and during this time, it should suffice for those 140 Weak Ants and Worker Ants to fully develop.
The stone cave was open and spacious, not the ideal battlefield for the ant group; if the enemy proved stronger overall, it would be better to lead them into the ant nest.
Hmm, to prepare for the potential upcoming battle, I need to relocate more food into the ant nest.
And I also need to deploy Weak Ants as sentries!
Monitor the movements to the west, and watch the other directions to prevent any other monsters from appearing.
As for the goblins on the ground who could no longer fight…
I will deliver the final blow! After all, I only need a few more Experience Points to level up.
Once I level up, my health will fully recover, enabling me to better face the upcoming battles!
Plus, upgrading by consuming meat is too torturous for me!
