Law of the Swarm

Chapter 71 Goblins and Gnolls

Two months ago, the Frost Goblin giant had already met Shava.

Although Shawar's body size has grown several times, these Frost Goblins don't seem to have forgotten Shawar.

A female goblin giant who was also practicing swinging an ax walked towards Shava and handed her a blue-green fruit. Raw materials for drinks.

Sith recalled that it seemed that the last time he brought Shava to the Goblin village, it was this female Goblin who taught Shava how to use the frost power.

A few days after Shava returned to the lair that time, she learned to activate the frost power in her blood to slash.

Now Shava can cut the frost energy two meters away after practice, but the frost blood in her body is extremely thin, not to mention the power of [Frost Slash], and it can only be sent out two or three times in a short period of time.

It is estimated that it can only deal with the blue butterflies that fly in the sky from time to time, and it may also have an effect on some small birds. However, in the past six months, there have been many fewer birds in the forest, and Shava has not used this kind of slash to deal with birds. Opportunity.

……

Bring back the seed to System, this unnamed goblin giant, was called Dahan by System.

The nickname System was just casually mentioned at first, but later the giant goblin recognized System's nickname.

After several contacts, System discovered that under the ugly and terrifying appearance, these Frost Goblin giants were actually extremely simple and honest.

System also more or less learned of the [-]-plus-year entanglement between this Goblin village and the Wolf Man.

In fact, System is not too sure whether it is more than two hundred years. After all, these goblins don't have any writing. Although they have language, they don't have any concept of time.

This 200 years ago was roughly calculated by System, but in fact it was basically the same 250 years ago.

Goblins and Gnolls actually lived together in the Lierte Forest hundreds of years ago. They are both members of the Winter Legion and believe in Aura, the Lord of Glaciers.

At that time, the Frost Goblin Giant, the Crampon Gnoll, and the Glacier Troll were still very good friends. They fought many wars with the Janna tribe in the west of the Lierte Mountain Range, and it can be said that they had a life-threatening friendship.

But since Ola, the lord of the glacier, disappeared for no reason three hundred years ago, things have changed.

In the first few decades, there were no problems between the two races, but after the death of the powerful Frost Goblin King, the Gnoll Lord left Lier with tens of thousands of Gnoll warriors and hundreds of glacier trolls. Special Forest, came to the south of the Warren Plains to settle.

At that time, there was no hostility between the two clans. Although they did not live together in Lierte Forest like they used to, the Frost Goblin would still have contacts with the Crampon Gnoll every year or a few months. .

But after the death of the Gnoll Lord, things gradually changed.

As time went by, the Frost Goblin Giant and the Crampon Gnoll lost their frost power one after another.

The goblins who lost their strength became thin and weak, and their survival in the Lierte Forest became extremely difficult; and although the gnolls lost their frost power, the number of gnolls not only did not decrease by virtue of their strong physical fitness, Instead, it grew to a scale of 10,000+ in the Warren Plain.

I don’t know when, Goblins and Gnolls cut off contact, and Gnolls no longer called themselves the Winter Legion. They called themselves the masters of the Warren Plain, and established the Volund Alliance with the Pig-headed Men .

In recent decades, the new generation of gnolls have completely forgotten the friendship between the frost goblin giant and the crampon jackal.

Gnolls invaded the Lierte forest several times to kill or capture goblins as slaves. As a result, there were nearly [-] goblins in Lierte, but now there are only a few dozen left.

These stupid and stubborn goblins were unwilling to leave the territory assigned to them by the Lord of Glacier until their death. Otherwise, they would not have suffered such heavy casualties if they left here and went to the depths of the Lierte forest.

……

With the return of the powerful Glacier Lord, the attitude of these jackals changed again, and the jackals decided to attach themselves to Ola, the Glacier Lord, and rejoin the Winter Legion.

System felt that these goblins were simple and honest because of this.

Even after being treated like this, these frost goblin giants begged the glacier lord Aura to accept the gnolls again.

As a result, Ola, the lord of the glacier, flatly rejected the Gnoll's request, nor did he accept the proposal of the frost goblin giant.

Aura didn't take the initiative to liquidate these gnolls, but all the gnolls who tried to step into the Lierte forest were frozen into ice slag.

From ordering to cut down all the oak trees in the Lierte Forest in order to take revenge on the old druid Medlan, to rejecting these begging traitors without hesitation...

Although Ola, the lord of the glacier, almost killed System and turned into the tentacle monster that he is today, the surprisingly System did not feel disgusted with Ola, but had some inexplicable feelings towards Ola. Good impression.

……

……

From the hands of the Frost Goblin Giant, System obtained a whole bag of Frost Flower seeds, probably dozens of them.

This peculiar plant can grow ice-green vines directly from ice and snow without soil, and it can also bloom many white flowers.

Although the Frost Flower can survive in cold regions outside, it cannot bear fruit as long as it leaves the Lierte Mountain Range. It is a unique plant belonging to the Lierte Mountain Range.

System didn't have many reasons for asking for the seeds of this Frost Flower. One was that he wanted to plant this flower and check the structure of the flower with his tentacles; What does this plant taste like.

After continuing to twist a few straw ropes for these giant goblins and drinking a lot of mango-flavored wine, System took Sava back to his wintering lair.

In the past six months, System's life in Lierte Forest has become more and more stable.

However, as he rose to level 14 and strengthened his [Perception] ability, the derivative ability [Intuition] also improved.

Recently, System has been feeling uneasy all of a sudden, for no reason, and he can't think of any clues.

On the way back to the lair with Shava today, System felt this feeling again.

"Could it be that you want to tell me that the transformation of the talent [molting growth] into [chrysalis] may fail?"

In the past six months, System has been preparing for the talent [Pupation] besides using [Ability Enhancement] and [Ability Activation] to strengthen his ant people.

System realized that his experience points might not be enough to transform [Molting Growth] into [Pupation], so he accumulated experience points to increase his level by two levels and increase his upper limit of experience.

He felt that the [Perception] of his tentacles was also a bit weak, so he strengthened the ability of [Perception] from level 11 to level 16. As a result, he added 12 more tentacles, [Eye of System], [Intuition] Some derivative abilities have also been strengthened.

Now that everything has been basically prepared, it is almost time to implement it, but recently, he has felt uneasy for no reason.

System knew that this uneasiness should have nothing to do with his transformation [chrysalis], it was something else, but he couldn't find the source of the uneasiness, which caused System to be thinking wildly recently.

During the break a few days ago, System also had a dream——

He dreamed that he transformed [molting growth] into [pupation], but he failed, and the transformation was nondescript. As a result, he could neither molt for the fourth time nor pupate.

In the end, he lived in the world of ice and snow without disaster for more than three years, and died of old age...
