章 377: First Altercation

David had already seen goblins in his first life, although from very far away, and he could recognize their mana signature. So once he walked into the woods, he focused his mind, quickly locking on some not too far from them.

But something troubled him. There were only three or four there.

And they seemed to circle the same zone repeatedly. As they started walking toward that area, David whispered to the others.

"There are four of them up ahead. Three of them seem to be looking for something, and the last one is in a tree, acting as a lookout. We will need to take them out rapidly, lest they cry out and call back up. This will allow us to thin their numbers before we reach their camp."

Jack pulled out a cylindrical object from a pocket on his tactical vest. When he started screwing it on the tip of his rifle, David understood what it was.

"Point me where the lookout is. I will take him out when you go for the others."
