Chapter 34: What Do Goblins Taste Like?
Six male goblins were swiftly defeated by the Military Ants; their limbs were crushed by the Military Ants’ massive, sharp jaws, leaving them unable to rise.
During the battle, when a goblin struck a Military Ant with a wooden stick, the attack proved ineffective, likely due to the Military Ants’ Physical Resistance Ability of 1.
When the wooden stick hit the Military Ant, it merely produced a sharp sound; the Military Ant’s glossy black shell remained unblemished, and its Health Value didn’t decrease at all.
The Military Ants proved even more formidable than Lin Yu had anticipated.
After the six male goblins fell, only the six female goblins remained in the cave, clutching wooden sticks, bearing their sharp teeth, and maintaining fierce expressions.
Of course, there were also the more than twenty goblin cubs they had recently birthed.
…
Has it truly been only two days, with so many offspring already?
And… they’re still pregnant even now! They truly are goblins with remarkable breeding capabilities; they’re like reproduction machines!
Though speaking of breeding ability, I… I’m not bad either! Ah, that’s not really something to boast about…
……
However, given the goblins’ extraordinary breeding capabilities, perhaps…
A bold idea suddenly formed in her mind.
Well, maybe not yet… It’s too early, and if I lose control, it could prove dangerous.
Let’s return to the matter at hand.
How should we handle these unfortunate “mothers”?
As the saying goes, women shouldn’t make things difficult for women… but you’re goblins, and I’m an ant—neither of us are women!
So, I apologize.
Sever their hands and feet.
The Military Ants followed the orders and charged forward, finding it simpler than handling the previous male goblins. Within moments, they had severed the limbs, leaving these pregnant female goblins writhing on the ground in agony.
Because Lin Yu found their cries too piercing and distressing to watch, she decided to personally end their suffering.
Lin Yu’s true form emerged from the ant nest, accompanied by ten Military Ants and several Weak Ants.
The twelve goblins, now limbless, were completely defenseless. They could only bare their sharp teeth and watch helplessly as the white ants approached, then pierce their necks with pristine jaws.
The twelve ordinary goblins provided experience points, but being low-level, they barely moved the experience bar.
Among the fallen goblins, two females had notably distended bellies, and upon inspection, something could be seen moving within.
Unborn goblin cubs.
Lin Yu commanded two Military Ants to approach and strike the female goblins’ bellies twice more. The movement ceased, and copious blood flowed from the wounds…
The scene made Lin Yu somewhat uncomfortable, but she remained resolute.
She couldn’t allow these goblins to mature.
Now the cave held only the ant swarm and over twenty goblin cubs huddled against the stone wall, amid the potent smell of blood.
They were practically piled together, trembling in fear.
One particular gaze caught Lin Yu’s attention; unlike the other cubs, this one was taller and appeared stronger. Its look toward Lin Yu contained human-like fury.
Through Identification, Lin Yu discovered this was a large goblin cub.
Kill them all.
Upon receiving the command, the Military Ants surged forward. Moments later, the health of all twenty-odd goblin cubs dropped to zero, their blood coating the ground.
The atmosphere grew heavy.
Lin Yu drew a deep breath.
“Chirp!”
The overwhelming smell of blood mixed with various foul odors made her cough.
It took some time to recover.
However, after all this activity, her mood improved considerably.
What should we do with the corpses now?
…Moving them into the ant nest would require effort; it seems troublesome, and the ant colony hasn’t had breakfast yet.
Well, let’s give the children a special breakfast today.
Huh, me?
Mom isn’t hungry yet, so I’ll skip breakfast.
So how should we prepare breakfast?
This is Mom’s cooking lesson, so everyone pay attention.
Eating goblin is straightforward; just remove the head and tail, and it’s ready to consume! Ahaha, no cooking needed!
Huh, goblins don’t have tails? Well, actually it’s not a tail, it’s that thing… I absolutely cannot let my daughters eat something so unclean.
Snap snap…
The ants began consuming the goblins.
What does goblin taste like?
Truthfully, I’m somewhat curious, but I would never sample it!
The process is rather unsettling and could easily nauseate someone, so Lin Yu merely glanced briefly before “pitter-pattering” back to the ant nest.
…
While the ants were feasting on goblins, elsewhere.
The ten Weak Ants dispatched to track the goblins remained carefully hidden at a distance, avoiding detection.
Goblin hunting is crude and simple; they charge directly at any prey they spot.
From the Weak Ant’s perspective, Lin Yu observed these goblins encounter a herd of mountain deer, but unfortunately, the deer were highly vigilant. The goblins’ poor stealth made capture impossible.
Besides that, there are slimes. Though goblins can easily defeat them, slimes provide no sustenance.
The goblins were heading westward but encountered few animals along their path. Eventually, this group managed to hunt only two small gray wild boars.
Lin Yu hadn’t encountered this species of wild boar before, and she couldn’t determine if it was merely her imagination, but the larger animals in the area seemed to be increasing in number.
After hunting two wild boars, the goblins turned back toward the cave.
However, Lin Yu noticed them gathering some kind of weed on the return journey, occasionally eating handfuls as they walked.
This weed resembled green onions, though its leaves were more segmented and bore a brownish-green hue. Overall, it didn’t stand out much from other weeds.
This variety of grass was abundant, and the goblins gathered plenty along their route. They bundled the grass together and secured it to their wooden sticks for transport.
…
Can goblins digest grass? Are they omnivorous?
If so, food scarcity wouldn’t be their concern…
We mustn’t delay; we’ll launch our full assault once my Magic Value completely regenerates! By then, the Military Ants should reach LV.7 through consuming meat.
How frustrating that Magic Value recovers so slowly…
Magic Value, like Health Value, requires more than three hours to restore even slightly through natural regeneration.
After laying two batches of eggs two days ago, it took two days for my Magic Value to recover to 33 points. Reaching 42 points will require another day or more.
After the ant colony concluded their feast and returned to the anthill, they left behind a collection of white bones, goblin heads, and various unmentionable remains.
The Big Goblin and its companions who went hunting have finally returned.
Night Day
Cool!
