Chapter 17 Inspection
Author: Arion's Dolphins
Finally, the tip of his claws rested on the east side of the Everlook Mountains, a large forest bordering the Kingdom of Oran.
【We will not consider places that are too far away, this is the place that suits us best.】
After leaving Cangguan Forest, you can reach it all the way to the west, the distance is not too far.
There were three similar places. Out of his own selfishness, Tang Zhao chose the only forest located in the west of the Oran Kingdom.
The desert in the north is home to a large number of orc tribes, which often conflict with human kingdoms. Since the west is blocked by mountains and swamps, and the products are not rich, they usually choose the flat east to go south, plundering the endless manor farmland in the east, and advancing into Austria.
Lan Wangdu.
The fertile plains in the east are the fertile land of the entire continent. In order to defend themselves, the Oran Kingdom has built a large number of fortresses and military camps north of the royal capital, and the entire kingdom's military resources are tilted here.
Therefore, there are not many human troops stationed in the relatively stable west, and the possibility of strong men appearing is also low.
The goblins may not care about this, but it is a great thing for Tang Zhao.
Tang Zhao clearly explained the stakes and waited for the goblins to make a decision.
To be honest, he needs the help of goblins even more for migration.
After all, a three-meter-long giant lizard that cannot speak human language is not welcome in human society.
Goblins look good, can communicate with people, and have super practical spells such as invisibility and mind-reading in strange environments, which can make things a lot easier.
Of course there was debate, and it lasted for a long time, but the fairies finally came up with a plan that everyone could accept.
Adopt Tang Zhao's suggestion, first go all the way west and settle at the foot of the Yongwang Mountains. When the time is right, some goblins will set off again to live in the territory of the elves.
There is generally no ill will towards goblins there, and the forest is more secure. Apart from being farther away, it is indeed a good choice, at least it is more practical than crossing the desert.
After discussing the most important issues, the goblins began to assign tasks for the next day, striving to leave as soon as possible.
After working hard all day, Tang Zhao went back to the cave to have dinner and prepare to rest.
He generously expressed his willingness to share some of his food reserves with the goblins, but it was obvious that they did not like eating hard vegetables such as beetles and centipedes, so he declined.
There were still goblin patrols on duty at night, and nothing unusual happened.
——
Early the next morning, Tang Zhao got up to bask in the sun, and then called a group of goblins to set off. He was going to recover the blood core and corpse.
The scout confirmed that no traces of giant insects were found in the scorched forest, and the group spread out to search.
Most of the creatures had been burned until their bones were hard to distinguish, and it was difficult for the goblins to separate any useful materials from them. Even Tang Zhao didn't want to eat these things.
There is a lot of meat in his cave, but the amount of food he eats every day is limited, and he is not in a tragic situation where he is hungry enough to eat carbon.
The main target of their search is the blood core, but of course there are other small considerations.
Tang Zhao looked at the hill-like corpse of the female Yit monster in front of him, and felt a little lucky in his heart.
[Fortunately, I didn’t encounter it, otherwise it would have been difficult to survive. 】
The place where the goblins found its body was a hastily dug cave.
The cave is not particularly shallow. The Etter should have been digging the hole after discovering the fire. This is indeed a normal choice when it cannot fly.
But unless it can dig to a depth of eight or nine meters in one go, it's all in vain.
Heat won't kill it, black smoke and lack of oxygen will too.
The fire attack method was a bit tricky, but Tang Zhao had no choice, and other strategies had higher risks.
Letting the goblins continue their work, Tang Zhao climbed onto its belly and began searching for blood cores.
The volume of the abdominal cavity was not small, but Tang Zhao had experience in removing the blood core of the male Yi Te monster last time. This time he remembered the approximate location and quickly took it out and swallowed it into his abdomen.
The size of this blood core is one size larger than that of an ordinary blood core. At the same time, there are slightly fewer internal impurities and it looks more crystal clear, so Tang Zhao also specifically turned off the dark green emblem prompt.
What he ate was still an inferior blood core, and the number increased by only one, just like the one taken from a wild boar and wild deer.
It is estimated that the level of this ite monster is not enough. Maybe the blood core of more powerful creatures can bring about changes.
There was still a large piece of flesh inside that had not been burned, so Tang Zhao was still reluctant to throw it away. With the help of the little goblin, he divided the Yit monster into pieces and dragged the flesh and blood back to the stronghold.
Soon after, they discovered the corpses of the group of little Etter monsters.
It is difficult to identify them from the outside, but they are the only ones in the entire forest that are huddled together with such a strange density.
The number is difficult to compare. It is roughly estimated that there are about a dozen corpses present. All the Etter monsters in this forest must have been killed.
There were no blood cores in the little Yit monster's body, and there were not a few pieces of good meat left on its body. Tang Zhao simply gave them up without any intention of recycling them.
Counting what he had harvested before, he now has a total of twenty-three blood cores, and has met the requirements for the next evolution.
It's just that the meat-eating standards are still far behind - a total of two tons of meat is required, but he has only eaten 200 kilograms now. It will take some time to reach the goal if this frequency continues.
Tang Zhao's digestive ability was not weak, and his exercise capacity and appetite were far superior to those of his peers. Even so, there were limits to the creature's digestion speed and appetite.
He considers himself to be a big eater, eating two hundred kilograms of meat in three to five days, stuffing meat into his mouth almost whenever his appetite is free.
Compared to its relatives, a crocodile of similar weight only consumes 10 to 20 kilograms of meat per meal, and can sustain it for half a month without any problem. In extreme cases, it can even last for half a year or a year.
In short, this matter cannot be rushed, it will take time, but he is short of time right now.
After the scavenging was completed, Tang Zhao carried Cynthia and three accurate goblin shooters to the edge of the spider web forest.
Now one side here has been burned out, and the remaining side is still full of birds and flowers, but Tang Zhao knows that strictly speaking, the danger factor of the latter is even higher.
The goblins have all said that there is a gang of lycanthropes lurking on the outskirts of the forest.
This creature is somewhat similar to the werewolf in the previous life. It can switch between the three stages of human, wolf and werewolf. Biting people will transmit its lycanthropy to the bitten person. Cynthia who is accompanying her does not know the specific situation of this.
Go ask a professional.
However, it is certain that most lycanthropes are dark and evil creatures, bloody and fond of killing, a group of extreme lunatics.
