At this point, the most important thing is to separate them from house to house; we shouldn't argue with them too much.
"It would be better not to waste time, just bury the bodies and then lock them back up," the Goblin King's attendant explained.
"Destroying the body won't change anything, will it?" the Goblin Champion asked.
"I also want to crush these corpses and see the disappointment and sorrow in their eyes, but don't forget why we're here this time," said the Goblin King's servant.
The Goblin Champion was taken aback, then nodded respectfully: "You are right, Lord Royal Attendant."
Yes, they wanted to give these beast-eared creatures a slap followed by a treat, to make them even more subservient to them.
This time we're here to offer some sweetness; there's no need to continue provoking the beastmen.
After all, good things happen when you submit to goblins.
After the goblins left, the open space returned to peace.
About two hours later—
"Oh!"
A hand reached out from where the immortal hero was buried.
Chapter 28 I got bitten because I was being impulsive (4k)
The immortal warrior crawled out of the ground, leaned against the pit, and patted his mud-covered hair.
“What a pity…” He glanced at the mound of earth beside him.
The orcs did not use burial as a pretext to take their corpses inside.
Plans change.
The original plan was to bring at least one of the two heroes into the Goblin Empire.
Unlike the hero who dies, the immortal hero can regenerate and revive from any part of his body.
Of course, fingernails, foot skin, or hair won't do; it has to be at least a piece of forearm or calf.
The hero of death regenerates starting from the "largest part".
In other words, as long as the other party picks up the largest piece of the Dead Hero's corpse from the ground, or brings back a small part of the Undying Hero, the two can successfully infiltrate.
Unfortunately, the goblins didn't give them a chance.
but……
This trip was not without its rewards.
We've at least reached this... open space?
This is where goblins and orcs meet, and it is here that the Goblin King and Goblin Champion appear.
In other words, this place may already be quite close to the Goblin Empire.
It should be noted that previous exploration teams had never been here before, and had not even found any trace of the Goblin Empire's interior.
Firstly, the exploration was not deep enough, and secondly, the forest was so vast that it was difficult to determine the direction.
Once you have this location, you can use it as a center to explore the surrounding areas and eventually find the location of the Goblin Empire's heartland.
There's no need for a reconnaissance hero; you can find it just by looking at those massive footprints.
Whether it's a large goblin or an orc carrying a magical beast, the footprints left behind are very clear.
"Never mind, let's go back first."
The immortal hero pulled a piece of soft cake from his pocket and popped it into his mouth, somewhat relieved that his clothes hadn't been torn.
This soft cake can change your body odor, so it would be a real problem if your clothes got damaged or lost.
If there were goblins or orcs here, they would notice that the Undying Warrior's scent suddenly changed, becoming that of a goblin.
With the enhanced strength of the hero, the immortal hero easily dug out the limbs of the dead hero from under the nearby mound of earth.
He covered the severed limb with mud to mask the smell, then tied it up with his coat and hurriedly left the scene.
There are definitely still goblins around here, but it's noon now, which is the time when goblins rest.
As long as you're careful not to run into goblins directly, they're unlikely to be noticed as they move through the forest.
Is it strange that goblins are moving around in goblin territory?
……
After settling the orcs, Annie and Lycorina went back to rest for a while.
The original plan was to ask the beastmen some questions, but the bow-wielding hero Shara stopped them.
"The orcs who remain here are the ones who are most uneasy. Let them take a break, and everyone should go and rest as well."
That's what she said.
An Yi hadn't thought of that, and nodded in understanding after hearing it.
Lycorina gave an awkward laugh, saying that she hadn't expected it.
Then Annie realized that both she and Lycorina were under too much stress.
I've been so focused on the goblins that I've forgotten to consider how the orcs are feeling.
It's reasonable for them to take a break.
When I woke up again, it was already dusk.
There were a lot of messages in the chat group. I glanced at them from bottom to top. Basically, the immortal hero had run back from the forest and brought back a specific, explorable location.
In fact, the orcs who remained here also knew that location.
They can lead the way, but they have no idea how to circle something on a map.
However, these orcs absolutely, positively must not appear in areas where goblins can detect them.
If the goblins knew they weren't dead, but were instead cooperating with humans...
I believe the goblins won't leave a threat in their territory.
At least their entire tribe will be wiped out by the goblins.
Just as An Yi was about to sit up in bed, she suddenly felt one side of the blanket being pressed down.
The other person was also awakened by An Yi's movements, twitched their ears, opened their eyes and yawned.
Seeing that Aria had fallen asleep by the bedside at some point, Annie sat up.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Arya chuckled sleepily and said, "Good morning."
An Yi glanced out the window.
It's almost evening now.
Arya didn't actually understand the specific meaning of "good morning," she only knew it was a greeting used after waking up.
“Mm,” An Yi replied, then stared at her quietly.
The two stared at each other for a while.
An Yi thought to herself, it seems that the cat-eared people are not entirely like cats, because from a cat's perspective, eye contact is a provocation.
If a cat feels it is no match for its opponent, it will look away.
I don't think there's such a term as "cat-eared tribe"?
"Ah!" Arya finally remembered what she was going to say.
An Yi: "?"
Arya suddenly lay down on the ground, swiftly lifted her coat to reveal her abdomen, and exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you!!"
She had another layer of clothing underneath, so there were no perks.
"Helping the beast-eared tribe? You're welcome." An Yi wouldn't be foolish enough to ask why she was being thanked, because Aria might not be able to express herself clearly.
An Yi looked at Aria lying on the ground, her mind racing. Suddenly, she bent down and placed her hand on Aria's stomach.
"Aww!"
I got bitten.
Arya sat up abruptly, hurriedly grabbed An's hand and blew on it, her eyes seemingly saying, "I didn't mean to!!"
She didn't use much force, otherwise, it would have been easy for her to crush An Yi's hand with a force of 30+.
An Yi also learned that when the cat-eared tribe exposed their bellies, it didn't mean they wanted to be touched; it was just an expression of submission or friendliness.
“I’m sorry…” Aria looked at An’i pitifully, probably worried that she would be disliked.
An Yi: "I am."
After all, it was him who had the urge to use his hands.
Arya lifted her coat again: "Meow?"
An Yi shook her head: "No, thank you."
An Yi was grateful that she was accommodating, but she was simply curious about the other person's reaction.
At that moment, Arya picked up another coat from the bedside table and handed it to Anyi.
Those were the clothes Annie gave her this morning.
Arya is now wearing a different set of ordinary white clothes without the Hero's Crest.
An Yi took it and was about to put it aside when Aria grabbed her hand.
"Put on your clothes!" Arya said earnestly.
"These are the clothes I wore when I went into the forest. They need to be washed."
"Do the laundry, understand?" Annie said.
She should understand; she was taught that.
Arya shook her head, then took the coat from Annie's hand, opened it, and draped it over Annie's shoulders.
She propped herself up on the bed with both hands, leaned her head over, sniffed An Yi, and finally nodded in satisfaction: "Mmm!"
