Green Monster Epic

Chapter 106: Gains and Losses

(Today is a 3-chapter update, thanks to the book friends for their rewards, wahahaha, a person with hundreds of thousands of words in storage is just so capricious!!)

Night ran continuously, not daring to conserve his strength, directly running for nearly 30 miles before finally finding a hidden cave to hide in.

His double daggers had already been lost in the mountain village. At this moment, both arms still hung limply at his sides. The slightest exertion would send waves of stinging pain to his heart, as if his arms no longer belonged to him. He leaned weakly against the cave wall, carefully recalling that moment of horror. Even now, Night could still feel the deep despair of that moment. He was only a little away from losing his life on the spot.

However, now that he had come to his senses, he had some speculation about the subsequent changes. However, his body was unwell and he could not verify his speculation. But if his guess was correct, then he could be considered to have gained something from this disaster. It was not in vain for him to risk his life.

The shadow energy within his body was slowly recovering. Unlike in the past, the shadow energy flowing in his blood vessels was now more docile and listened more to his divine sense. At the same time, this gradually recovering shadow energy was like a key hidden in his body, connecting to another world. However, this key was still incomplete, probably due to insufficient energy, so Night could not use this key to open that world and see what was inside.

Focusing on experiencing the changes in the energy within his body, and also getting a short rest, Night set off again, heading towards the Bonecrusher tribe. Now that he had lost his ability to protect himself, and no longer had the means or opportunity to monitor the Greenskins, staying in this wilderness was too risky. It was better to take advantage of the dense shadow energy in the night and return to the tribe, which would also reduce the chance of being caught up by pursuers.

Although Night didn't know that Allen hadn't sent anyone to chase him, he didn't dare take the risk. After walking on the road of life and death just now, Night still felt that his life was the most precious treasure.

Night ran in the night, while Allen and the others stayed in the valley until the moment the sun rose before setting off and heading towards Green Lake.

Not a single member of the entire Earth Goblin settlement was able to escape. Allen and the others captured them all. In the end, after a rough count, the number of people was actually a few more than Allen had estimated, as many as 23. Of course, the extra people didn't really help Greenwild improve its strength, because this Earth Goblin settlement even kept 3 old goblins full of wrinkles and gray hair. This was a bit surprising for a wilderness tribe lacking food.

Also, there were quite a few children in this Earth Goblin settlement, as many as 6. The oldest should be 2-3 years away from adulthood, while the youngest looked like they had just been weaned. Allen was actually happier to see these cubs than to see the old goblins. These were all the future of the tribe. When they grew up, they would not only become combat power for the tribe, but also be able to give birth to children and reproduce offspring.

As for the Earth Goblins who had become prisoners, after experiencing the initial resistance, panic, and other emotional outbursts, they were now gradually calming down. They had a high awareness of the fact that they were now reduced to prisoners. Wilderness races had always had a high degree of awareness of racial discrimination. For example, Allen, when he heard that Green Lake Village had been breached, the most painful thing in his heart was the loss of his people. On the contrary, he had long been psychologically prepared for the possible destruction of the tribe.

This was the law of survival in the wilderness. It was always so cruel and ruthless. No one knew what would happen next, or what disasters would befall them.

Before leaving, Allen also asked the Earth Goblin leader to take his two subordinates and bury the dead Earth Goblin in the valley. Under the current circumstances where the Greenwild tribe did not lack food, they would not treat the corpses of their own kind as food. After all, they were considered intelligent races, and they still had some empathy.

"Let's go."

Allen raised his head and chest, and led the Earth Goblin team, which was chained together and slowly moving forward under the custody of Dajiang and the others, towards home in the rising sun.

There wasn't much trouble on the road. Except for encountering a Berserk Lion hunting halfway, which roared at them in a threatening manner before leaving, there were no other accidents.

"The chieftain is back!"

The advantage of Green Lake Village being built on a high place was that it could see far and wide. Before Allen and the others approached the village, someone had already left the village to greet them.

After learning from the experience of being caught off guard by the Gnolls last time, Chahua strongly suggested to Allen that a watchtower should be built in each of the four directions of the village, and someone must be guaranteed to monitor the surroundings every day to avoid the previous embarrassment from happening again.

Allen also agreed with Chahua's suggestion. Although he didn't build watchtowers in all 4 directions, he built two watchtowers more than 4 meters high than the walls at the diagonal positions of the village, and arranged two shifts of people to guard day and night.

The Earth Goblins were not in high spirits. When they were escorted forward, most of them looked sad and dejected. Their hearts were full of anxiety, and they didn't know what kind of living environment awaited them after they were captured.

However, when they arrived at Green Lake Village, the clear blue lake outside the village, which was half the size of a football field, immediately brightened their eyes. The gray-white soil that had been turned over piece by piece by the lake, cultivated into square plots with crisscrossing ditches, and the rows of neatly growing lush green plants in the soil, all made them curious. As for the clusters of berry bushes along the edge of the land, decorated with red and yellow berries, they failed to attract everyone's attention, except for the Earth Goblin leader.

"Chieftain, where did you catch these little guys from? Looking at their bodies, they are really a bit thin!"

Dashan, who was staying at home, patted the strong chest of the first Earth Goblin, and was somewhat dissatisfied with the Earth Goblin's figure as if he were picking livestock. However, he forgot that Bear Goblins were much stronger than Earth Goblins, and his pickiness was simply unreasonable.

"Get out of here!"

Allen kicked this guy unceremoniously. He wasn't really picking on the Earth Goblins, he was actually complaining to himself that he didn't take him out of the village to fight.

"Chieftain."

Chahua also came over, but she didn't show the excitement that Dashan and the others showed, but was somewhat complaining.

"Now that there are 20 more mouths to feed all of a sudden, how can our food withstand such consumption!"

Although it was a complaint, Chahua's eyes were actually still full of joy. The stronger the Greenwild tribe, the better her future days would be, and the power in her hands would also increase accordingly.

"There will always be a way to solve the food problem, but I'll leave these people to you, don't mistreat them!"

After Allen returned to the village, he became a hands-off shopkeeper. He didn't need to make any more arrangements for how to settle the prisoners. Chahua and the others would take care of it.

It was good to have a capable subordinate. Allen no longer needed to personally ask about many trivial matters. The only pity was that this smart guy was not male, and his strength was still a bit lacking.

"Don't worry, Chieftain, I'll have people clean up their residences right away."

Chahua nodded and began to get busy.
