Chapter 26: Mysterious Fruit (1)
Editor: Atlas Studios
After threatening the Skeleton Soldiers, the Goblin captain sat on a chair and let his subordinates continuously extract the Soul Fire in the Skeleton Soldier's eyes. He was waiting for the moment when Skeleton Soldier could not take it anymore. Then, they would obediently tell the captain who was behind them.
However, to the Goblin captain's surprise, even though his subordinates had extracted all the Soul Flames in the Skeleton Soldier's eyes, the Skeleton Soldier did not say a word.
Looking at the loyal Skeleton Soldiers in front of him, the Goblin captain was instantly interested. He did not believe that anyone could really make his subordinates so loyal. Even if some of these Skeleton Soldiers were absolutely loyal to the person behind the scenes, a small number of these subordinates would definitely betray him under pressure.
Thus, the Goblin captain began to excitedly extract the Soul Fire that represented the lives of the Skeleton Soldiers one after another. However, the dozen or so Skeleton Soldiers that he had captured were as loyal as the first Skeleton Soldier. They would rather die than betray Fang Ping.
The Goblin captain's interest was ignited. He was destined to not get an answer. After all, the Skeleton Soldier without its own will was a creature similar to a high-leveled puppet. Facing such a creature, no matter what the Goblin captain did, he would not get the answer he wanted.
The Goblin captain started off excited, but towards the end, it was flustered and exasperated. In the short span of just a few minutes, the Goblin captain felt a trace of fear.
Then, he stopped torturing the Skeleton Soldiers and directly ordered his subordinates to deal with the remaining Skeleton Soldiers.
Meanwhile, it sat on a chair and looked at the corpses of the dozen or so Goblins who had died in the beginning. It fell into deep thought.
"Such a loyal and powerful force actually appeared quietly near our tribe's territory. It's really creepy."
"If not for the fact that it's coincidentally time for the monthly collection of ores, we would not have known when the tribe would discover this terrifying force that had quietly appeared nearby."
"If we let this force grow, it will definitely cause huge losses to the tribe. For the safety of the tribe, we have to find its location and kill it in the cradle."
With this thought in mind, the Goblin captain immediately ordered his subordinates.
"An unknown force has appeared around our tribe, and they even attacked our mine."
"In order to prevent them from causing us any more damage, we have to find them."
"I order the firearms team to stay here with me and guard this mine."
"As for the others, split into four teams, each with ten members. Then, spread out in the four directions. You must find the other party's territory before noon."
After the Goblin captain gave the order, the Goblins under its command quickly formed ten-man teams. After each of them chose a direction, they began to search the surroundings. They had to find the territory of the force that posed a threat to the tribe.
However, the Goblin captain did not expect that Fang Ping, who was on a hill not far from him, had already known his intentions through his actions.
Then, Fang Ping led the Elite Skeleton and the four Purgatory Skeleton Soldiers to quickly get up and rush back to a suitable place not far from the territory to wait for the Goblin team to arrive.
A few minutes later, a ten-man Goblin team with spears in their hands carefully headed in the direction of Fang Ping and the others.
Seeing the ten-man Goblin team appear in his field of vision, Fang Ping nervously gripped the longbow in his hand. He slowly took out an arrow with a fine iron arrowhead from his quiver, aimed at the head of a spear-wielding Goblin, and released the bowstring the moment the Goblin was within 100 meters of Fang Ping.
In an instant, the arrow was like a bolt of lightning as it pierced through the speared Goblin's forehead. It then pierced through a hundred-year-old tree before losing its momentum and piercing deep into the tree branch.
Fang Ping's arrow was like a signal. As he shot out the arrow, the Elite Soldier and Purgatory Skeleton Soldiers lying in ambush around him instantly darted out from their respective hiding spots. In the blink of an eye, they killed all eight speared Goblins, who were still immersed in the shock of their companions being killed in an instant.
If Fang Ping had not shot a second arrow immediately after the first, he might not have had a chance to kill the last speared Goblin.
After first eliminating this ten-man Goblin team that was searching in the direction of his territory, Fang Ping immediately turned to the other three directions and followed the Goblins that were searching in the other three directions. Using the trails left behind by the Goblins, he quickly caught up with the three ten-man Goblin teams.
With his superb archery skills and the perfect cooperation of the Skeleton Soldiers, the four Goblin teams sent by the Goblin captain to search Fang Ping's territory were wiped out in just an hour. Only the captain and his firearms team were left waiting for Fang Ping's arrival in the Goblin tribe.
After eliminating the four Goblin teams, Fang Ping quickly returned to the hill he had been observing earlier to check on the situation in the Goblin tribe.
Seeing that the Goblin tribe was still the same as when he left, Fang Ping felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.
He was not afraid of the Goblin firearms team, but he was worried that the Goblin teams that he had eliminated would have a communication method that he did not know about. They might inform the firearms captain in the Goblin tribe that their team had been destroyed. Then, the captain might fire the firearm that was on hand.
