Chapter 47 That expression looks so familiar (please read it again on Tuesday!)
The Minotaur Scout transformed into a small black rat and stalked the Goblin Cave.

It is so inconspicuous that it is hard to notice if you don't lie on the ground and observe carefully.

It wound its way along the various passages, and like the Ghost Goblin, it memorized the entire topographic map of the cave in its mind.

This is the basic quality of a scout.

【I didn’t expect it to be so easy. 】

[I didn't encounter those special goblins along the way. 】

[But even if I meet them, they won't be able to recognize me now that I look like this.]

[Hurry up and complete the task, and go find some weak goblins who are alone to play with. ]

The mission went exceptionally smoothly. After finding out all the roads, it took brisk steps and began to move towards the deepest part of the cave.

"Little mouse, you finally fell into the trap."

Through the skill [Lord of the Cave], Gu An watched the Tauren scouts running around in the cave.

This guy who thought he was hiding perfectly was actually being followed by the ghost goblins he sent. His every move after he turned into a rat was being monitored.

The reason why we haven't taken it down yet is that although the Ghost Goblin is of a high level, its attack power is relatively weak.

The minotaur has thick skin and flesh, and even if he turns into a rat, his physical strength will not change.

If the Ghost Goblin attacks rashly, it is likely to alert the enemy, causing this guy to realize that something is wrong and turn around and run away.

Taking these reasons into consideration, Gu An planned to wait until the enemy went deep into the cave before attacking with lightning speed, so as to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

[Fire Goblin, Ice Goblin, Lustful Goblin, prepare yourself in advance, the fight is about to begin.]

Three mutated goblins stood behind Gu An, with sharp eyes and cruel-looking smiles.

Want to kill goblins for pleasure?

I'll give you enough pleasure in a moment!
【Jie Jie Jie Jie】

……

[Strange, what is this smell? ]

The deeper they went along the passage, the stronger the tempting aroma became. With great curiosity, the little black mouse made a detour and arrived in front of the planting hole first.

Looking at the scene inside, it was extremely surprised.

what is this?
There are fruits growing in the Goblin Cave?!

Isn't it too stupid to do such a thing?
The little black mouse stood upright, looking at the tall vines that densely covered the ground. While greedily sniffing the scent of the fruit, it couldn't help feeling a sense of mockery in its heart.

The food problem is a huge mountain weighing on the monsters.

Because most monsters live in dark caves, in such a dark environment, it is impossible to grow any food seeds.

Although there are some powerful monsters that are not afraid of enemy invasion and dare to try to sow seeds outside the cave on the sunny land.

However, because there is no planting experience and the growth cycle of most seeds is slow, the harvest rate is very low, and monsters that do this often end up losing more than they gain.

It is very foolish to spend a lot of time and energy only to get a small amount of food.

This is a big difference between monsters and humans.

The reason why humans were able to gradually form an agricultural civilization is because humans knew how to divide labor, cooperate, develop together, and form large collectives.

While there are a large number of people to sow seeds and raise crops, there are also enough people to hunt to get through the growing period, thus forming a virtuous circle.

However, monsters have no such awareness.

They are tribes formed by a small number of individuals of the same species, fighting and plundering each other with other monster tribes and humans, with temporary benefits as their ultimate goal.

Therefore, it is destined that a more advanced agricultural civilization will not develop.

The monsters are constantly fighting in the forest with limited resources, causing food to become increasingly scarce, which in turn leads to more brutal competition among the various tribes, and then they are completely trapped in a vicious circle.

This is why the Minotaur Scouts laugh at the Goblins' practice of growing food.

Monsters should follow their instincts, fight, and hunt, instead of focusing their energy on such stupid fantasies.

【Have you seen enough? 】

A voice suddenly sounded behind the little black rat, and then he felt the temperature around him rising rapidly, as if a torch was approaching him.

[It's a fire-breathing goblin! ]

It turned around suddenly and found that the red goblin that could breathe fire had come behind it.

damned!
That special goblin is actually staring at me?
How could it still detect me when I was already like this? What a ghost!

This special goblin has a strength of over level 17, and a scout alone cannot compete with it.

Run away, run away quickly!
Without having time to think about the reason, the little black mouse's first reaction was to run away quickly.

The Fire Goblin's fist was covered with flames and it smashed down fiercely. Relying on the advantage of its small size and agility after turning into a rat, the Minotaur Scout luckily avoided the attack.

It passed under the crotch of the Hellfire Goblin and then ran straight out of the planting hole.

【Big fool! 】

[You think you can catch me by yourself? 】

The Minotaur scout turned back and laughed as he ran.

Since everything has been discovered, there is no need to hide anything anymore.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of this damn red-skinned goblin must have been an accident. By the time the other goblins heard the noise and took action, it had already slipped away.

The Minotaur Scout was very proud of himself and ran out of the planting hole in a blink of an eye. The Fire Goblin was spewing flames behind him, but the distance was too far and it could not cause any damage.

Judging from the situation, there will be no problem escaping.

Although there were some minor setbacks, the mission was not considered a failure.

This time the entire terrain of the Goblin Cave has been explored.

Once he escapes from here and everything is calm, he can change into another form and sneak back into the cave to gather the remaining information. It will only take a little more time.

However, after the Minotaur scout made up his mind, before he could run a few steps, a ray of ice crystal suddenly shot out at him. If he had not dodged in time, it would have almost taken his life.

【Blue Goblin! 】

What a hell!

How come these goblins move so quickly? Even the goblin that sprays cold mist has arrived here.

Could it be that they had already discovered my whereabouts and had been lying in ambush here?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!
There was no way those goblins would have imagined that it would transform into a rat and sneak into the cave, let alone take precautions in advance.

Surprise! It must be an accident! The appearance of the second special goblin made the Minotaur Scout a little flustered, and he no longer dared to be complacent.

It stuck to the crack in the wall, avoiding layers of ice crystals. Just when it thought it had escaped, a big, thick black iron rod was swung down.

The one who took action was naturally the lustful goblin.

Knowing that the Minotaur would be small and agile after turning into a mouse, Guan specially ordered the Fire Goblins and Ice Goblins to launch a feint attack.

The purpose is to block its escape space so that the Lustful Goblin can complete the final blow.

Faced with the oncoming big black stick, the Minotaur Scout had no way to avoid it and was knocked to the ground before he could even react.

The enormous force created a small hole in the ground, and the Minotaur Scout, who had transformed into a rat, was embedded in it.

Due to the fatal injury, the Minotaur Scout could no longer inject magic power into magic items, the [Thousand Transformation Box] lost its effect, and it returned to its original appearance.

【Jie jie jie! 】

The three mutated goblins gathered together, showing ferocious smiles at the same time, looking at the "little mouse" who had revealed his true form.

Lying on the cold, hard ground, the Minotaur Scout had blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and was breathing out but not in, apparently dying.

Until now it still couldn't understand why the goblins appeared all at once and attacked in layers as if it was planned.

Why is this happening?

It's hidden so perfectly...

[You still want to kill the goblin? ]

[From the moment you turned into a mouse, your every move has been under my control, you stupid cow.]

Surrounded by the mutated goblins, Gu An came to the Minotaur and picked up the [Thousand Transformation Box] that fell next to it.

Amid his disdainful ridicule, the Minotaur Scout reluctantly breathed his last.

"Unfortunately, this bull-headed human body is a little hard to swallow."

Gu An felt that this monster with human characteristics was a bit disgusting to eat, so he put the minotaur's corpse directly into the system space and exchanged it for twenty points of food.

It wouldn't be a waste to use it as material to upgrade the territory.

The [Thousand Transformation Magic Box] is already in hand. The next step is to send a goblin to transform into a Minotaur scout and infiltrate their territory.

Who should be sent?
Gu An glanced around.

The Hellfire Goblin has a very bad temper and a very straightforward personality, so it is not suitable for infiltrating the enemy camp.

Although the Ice Goblin has a calm personality, he is inflexible and too rigid, making him unsuitable.

As for the air.

Oh no, it's a ghost goblin.

This guy didn't even need to think about it.

[Thousand Transformation Magic Core] can only change the body shape, but cannot change the characteristics of the holder.

No matter what form the Ghost Goblin takes, it will always be invisible.

It seems that this task must be given to the Lustful Goblin.

Although this guy is a bit creepy, he is smart and clever and should be very suitable for this job.

【Lewd Goblin! 】

[You take the Thousand Transformation Box and transform into the Minotaur Scout. Now head to their territory.]

[I will always give instructions on what to do specifically.]

Gu An gave the [Thousand Transformation Magic Box] to the Lustful Goblin and told him the detailed usage. After the transformation was successful, it left the nest.

After completing this step, Gu An turned and went to the logging cave.

At this time, a junior goblin was holding a wicker and supervising the work of the slacking goblin.

Under the meticulous care, the Fishing Goblin worked very enthusiastically and has completed two wooden doors and a bathtub so far.

[Junior Goblin, come here. ]

Gu An called the junior goblin holding a wicker to his side.

The plan to kill the Minotaur relies solely on the Fire Goblins, so the combat power is still a little insufficient.

In order to be adequately prepared, he decided to use the energy in his hands to create another level 20 goblin.

[Report to the Lord! ]

[I have been keeping an eye on the work of the Slacking Goblin, always on guard against this guy being lazy! ]

Hearing the Lord's summons, the junior goblin ran over and immediately straightened his back and said very seriously:

Gu An patted the junior goblin on the shoulder and said very seriously: [As the first veteran employee in the territory, you have worked really hard.]

[In fact, among all the goblins, I like you the most! ]

[It's just that I'm not capable enough, so I can't upgrade you in advance. 】

[I am planning to promote you now, you won't blame me, right? ]

Hum hum hum.

The junior goblin bit his lower lip and sobbed with emotion.

It knows that the lord is smart and can see that we are loyal ministers and capable generals!
All the hard work has not been in vain, the Lord has seen it all!

[Lord! You are the best goblin in the world! ]

[I will definitely live up to your expectations. I will always be loyal to you, Lord! ]

All of their former companions have been upgraded to become powerful mutant goblins, and the junior goblins are filled with hesitation and sadness.

Now that I have finally gained the respect of the lord and can become an even more powerful warrior, the feeling of hardship of having my talent recognized is truly indescribable.

It is no exaggeration to say that the junior goblins were so moved that they cried, and they secretly swore in their hearts that they must fight desperately for the lord!
Gu An nodded with satisfaction and smiled like the warm spring breeze.

But when Tia, who was passing by, saw this smile, she shuddered subconsciously.

That expression...

Why does it look so familiar...
