Chapter 67 Goblin Cave welcomes you in advance!
It is around ten o'clock in the morning, the moment when early morning meets noon. The sun is refreshing, the ground has just warmed up, and the forest is filled with a mixed smell of soil and plants.

The sunlight is forbidden to enter the black entrance of the Goblin Cave. The twisted passage is wrapped in quiet darkness, which looks weird and ominous from a distance.

The vice president was walking through the forest, followed by three members of the Gravemen team. They were carrying large packages containing key materials for conquering the Goblin Cave.

"At this time, the goblins must have rested. This is the best time to poison them."

"However, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are sentinels on rotation among the goblins."

"So before arriving at the Goblin Cave, I will first arrange the battle plan clearly. When the mission begins, we must act swiftly and decisively, and not give those monsters time to react."

"The former golden adventurer is personally commanding you. Practical lessons like this are rare. You are lucky to have an opportunity like today."

The vice president's tone of voice was not at all like that of an adventurer. Instead, he spoke with a strong leadership demeanor, which was a habit he developed from being in management for a long time.

Since he had no luggage to carry, he was very relaxed, and kept bragging about his various achievements as a golden adventurer along the way.

He also commented on the tomb-dwelling team in a very old-fashioned way, saying that the treatment of adventurers nowadays is much better than before, and that life was so difficult in their time. His nagging voice was very annoyed.

The most infuriating thing was that because he was their direct leader, the Tomb Squad could only endure it silently and didn’t dare to interrupt him. They were almost suffering from internal injuries before they even reached the Goblin Cave.

What they most hope for now is to kill all the goblins quickly, complete the mission early, and end this painful journey of working with their leader.

The pale faces of the Tomb Squad, which were already like those of the dead, became even more gloomy. However, the vice president did not care about the mentality of his subordinates and continued to talk:

"Invisible monsters are rare. They usually only appear in high-level monster nests."

"But there are fallen souls who sacrificed their souls. The monsters in the Goblin Cave cannot be dealt with by common sense. We don't have scouts, so we can only analyze the intelligence."

"Before Xingyue died, he had already completed this part of the task, so it can be considered a contribution."

"At that time, he used a level 30 scroll to seal the entrance to the goblin cave. Except for the invisible guy who slipped out, other monsters did not have the ability to break the barrier."

"That is to say, there are no monsters or fallen ones above level 30 in the Goblin Cave, so it is absolutely safe for us to use the scroll this time."

"Xingyue, that brat, has no experience fighting against invisible monsters, and we will definitely not give the invisible goblin a chance to attack this time."

"Now is the time for the goblins to rest. Their defenses are loose, and at most there are only sentinels on patrol."

"When we get close to the cave, I will cast Fire Domain to guard against the invisible goblins. You will carry me on your back and rush into the depths of the cave as quickly as possible to release the barrier and poisonous fog. Even if the sentinels discover us, they will not have time to react."

The vice president explained the details of the plan to Captain Tombman in detail.

Because he was still a long way from the goblin territory, he was not worried about being eavesdropped by the monsters.

As an experienced adventurer, he knew clearly that monsters had limited physical strength and energy, so their patrol range would not be too large and it was impossible for them to cover such a far place.

Unless the goblins are alerted in advance.

But this is simply impossible.

Because the plan was kept extremely secret, only he and the Tomb Squad knew about it, and the conversation took place in the Adventurer's Association, where there was a powerful barrier.

Even if the invisible goblin is extremely cunning and dares to sneak into human territory to gather information, it is doomed to gain nothing.

There was no way of knowing the news of his return, and there was no way of knowing the plan of this crusade.

Therefore, the vice president was very confident, predicting that the goblins might not have been prepared in advance, and at this time, they must still be resting in the cave. Even if they were patrolling, it was impossible for them to come so far.

The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, which is a great advantage. Today we will be able to wipe out those shameful monsters in one fell swoop and capture Tiya!
And that shameless and depraved person who deceived Tia, when I see him, I will tear him into pieces!

The vice president was furious and urged impatiently, "Can you guys walk faster?"

"How come your physical fitness is not as good as that of a middle-aged magician like me?"

Faced with such a painless urging, the captain of the tomb was full of depression, and his already lifeless temperament became even more depressed. Vice President?
Why don't you try carrying this big bag of psychedelic grass?
In order to make the poisonous fog fill the entire goblin cave, a large amount of psychedelic grass is needed.

Unfortunately, this plant cannot leave the soil, otherwise it will lose its effectiveness after withering. Moist soil is not only heavy, but also takes up a lot of space, so the packages carried by the gravedigger team are very large.

That kind of weight is no less than a huge rock pressing down on your body. Not only do they have to travel a long distance, but they also have to retain enough strength to carry out the mission later. The speed that the Tomb Squad can achieve now is already excellent.

If they could exchange identities at this moment, they really want to let the vice president experience what cruelty is!
Although he was very depressed, the higher the rank, the more powerful he was.

If the Tomb Squad wants to have a chance to develop, they still have to look at the Vice President's face. Naturally, they dare not talk back and can only respond faintly: "Got it, Vice President."

The ghost goblin followed beside him and secretly echoed in his heart: [Got it, Vice President.]

[Goblin Cave welcomes you in advance! 】

Gu An also agreed in the depths of the cave and said, "Well, middle-aged men are considerate."

[I was afraid that the receptionist in the territory would be waiting anxiously, so I hurried on my way. 】

【What a nice person. 】

The mutated goblin F4's eyes glowed red as he grinned wantonly: [Jijiejiejie]

The "distinguished guest" is coming, and it's time to prepare for the welcome party at the Goblin Cave in advance.

Gu An had already made arrangements for how the "welcome party" would proceed.

The Ghost Goblin is the welcoming staff, responsible for accompanying the "distinguished guests" all the way from the town of Ivan and finding out what the "distinguished guests" think and wish for, so that the territory can know how to "welcome" them attentively.

The Hellfire Goblin and the Swordsman Goblin are responsible for hiding outside the cave in advance, waiting for the distinguished guests to arrive, and then suddenly appear to give an unexpected surprise.

In order to prevent the distinguished guest from leaving early, Gu An specially called back the lustful goblin in advance to be responsible for accompanying the guest and receiving the "grand gift" specially prepared by the distinguished guest.

The goblins are all in place, each doing their own job under Gu'an's arrangement, hoping that this carefully prepared welcome party will allow the distinguished guests to have a great time.

Gu An showed his signature sunny smile on his face.

“This expression…”

Tia and Luca shuddered at the same time when they saw the familiar expression.

It’s over.

Someone is going to be unlucky again...

I wonder if that poor guy...

　There is something that needs to be explained here, but it doesn't fit in the main text.

　　This is a question of setting.

　　The magic scroll will explode when triggered by magic power.

　　However, when Gu An detonated Xingyue and others, he used high explosives extracted from alchemy. It was a physical explosion and no magic was involved.

　　The Gravemen Squad was completely unaware of this.

　　From their perspective, the reason why such a huge explosion could have occurred must be that the Ghost Goblin knew about the magic scroll in advance, so he used some kind of magic attack to detonate the magic scroll.

　　The Vice President received news that the scroll had been destroyed and was not included in the plan in advance.

　　(However, this battle does not require the participation of magic scrolls, it is just a supplementary setting. In this world, physics and magic coexist.)
