The swaggering gnolls and the cowardly goblins resemble the lord's tax collector and the farmer who uses the land.

As it turned out, it wasn't long before the goblins dragged a worn-out wooden cart filled with plant fruit and a small amount of meat, and what appeared to be half a cow-like creature.

The dilapidated wooden cart was clearly old, and Heatham saw rusty iron hinges on the wheels of the cart.

The cart was clearly not made from goblins, and it is unknown where they got it.

Without much thought, Systham listened carefully to the conversation between the two sides.

Perhaps it is because of the two unique abilities of talent [Perception] and [Mind Transmission].

Although Systm couldn't understand the language of the gnolls and goblins, he also knew the general situation of the gnolls and goblins from the other party's movements, demeanor, and tone.

After all, the intelligence of these two creatures is not too high in Sistum's opinion, and the communication between the two sides is not as empty and unassuming as humans.

The purpose of the gnolls coming to the Goblin Village is basically the same as the first impression of Sistem, which is to come here to collect food.

The goblin pulls out a cart of food, only to be snarled by the gnolls who think that the cart contains too little meat and too much fruit.

The leading gnoll seemed to be saying, "You vile and cunning green-skinned bugs, you dare to deceive the valiant gnolls warriors, I will kill you!" ”

The goblins around them all snuggled together in anger and trembled.

The leader of the goblin village seemed to be a little more intelligent, and he smiled flatteringly, as if explaining to the gnolls why meat was so scarce.

However, the goblins did not negotiate with the gnolls in the end.

The gnolls showed their tongues dripping with slime and grinned greedily, not knowing what to say, and the gathered goblins became even more flustered.

In addition to the leading gnoll, the other two gnoll suddenly lay on the ground and sniffed with their noses, and they showed a sinister smile.

The two gnolls quickly made their way to a weed pile......

Systham thought that the gnolls had found the food that the goblins had hidden, but they didn't expect the gnolls to find three goblin children in the haystack.

The gnolls cleanly snapped the necks of the three goblin cubs.

The leading gnolls saw their companion's movements and also selected two older goblins.

The gnoll pierced the heads of the two elderly goblins with its claws in the panicked eyes of the many goblins, and licked the red and white liquid on the paws in front of the goblins in a very bloody manner.

Under the watchful eyes of the many goblins, the gnolls threw the goblins' corpses onto carts filled with food.

It didn't take long for the gnolls' angry roars to pass.

Three gnolls walked in front, while five young goblins pushed and pulled the cart full of food along the forest path, as if they were heading to the grasslands dozens of kilometers away.

The remaining dozen or so goblins looked relaxed when they saw the gnolls leave.

They kneel in the same direction and make special gestures with their hands, as if performing a special ritual or a prayer.

The goblin repeats the same word over and over again, and the phrase is mentioned several times during the goblin leader's conversation with the gnolls.

"Glaciers... The Lord? ”

Referring to the tone and emotion of the previous conversation between the two sides, and the fact that these goblins were bowing in the direction of the glacial mountains thousands of kilometers away, the word unconsciously appeared in Sistham's mind.

Maybe it's the Lord of the Glaciers, maybe the Ice King, or maybe the God of Winter.

In short, it is a kind of cold adjective combined with a noun like chief.

Sistemm continued to watch the goblins for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing special, he spread his wings and left.

……

The Gnoll's brutal killing of goblins was so brutal and bloody that Heatham thought he would feel some discomfort.

However, there was almost no fluctuation in his heart.

If I had to describe it, Syst watching the gnolls kill the goblin is like watching a frog swallow a mosquito, with little to no feeling.

If there is any other emotion, it is that he has some admiration for the seemingly rough but actually intelligent approach of the jackal.

The goblins were kept in captivity to provide food for them in a cold and bloody way, and after discovering that the goblins were underfed, in order to keep the amount of food as high as possible, the gnolls did not hesitate to kill the old and weak goblins.

First, you can use these old and weak goblins as food, and secondly, you can also reduce the consumption of these old and weak goblins, and you can also use this terrifying and bloody means to put pressure on the goblins.

The Gnoll's method of keeping goblins in captivity seems to be very successful.

Systm found that his feelings seemed to have become abnormal, but he did not reflect and wonder as much as he had before, nostalgic for his past life as a human being.

Ever since the old druid killed a million locusts using traps, his perception of things has changed in an unknown way.

In Sistm's view, goblins and gnolls are nothing more than a higher food chain in the forest, and these two creatures, despite their language and simple intelligence, have not produced civilization.

The Gnolls may be better, but the Goblins are nothing more than creatures that struggle in the forest and are higher up the food chain.

However, for now, Systm basically does not have any intersection with the other party.

Just as mosquitoes will become food for frogs, frogs will be eaten by poisonous snakes, and eagles will eat snakes.

But eagles have little interest in mosquitoes.

After Sistemm returned to his temporary lair from the goblins' gathering place, he flew around his temporary lair.

The old druid, who was temporarily incapable of liquidating it, but the rat that had broken in during the third metamorphosis, Systm decided to find it.

There is his own hatred that is on the verge of death, and there is also the unbearable feeling when he sees Shava being tortured by rats, and he must find out and kill this rat!

With his metamorphosed strength, Sistemm felt that he should have an advantage against the rat, maybe he would be injured, but he still had a good chance of killing the rat.

I just don't know if he'll be able to find the mouse.

Within a hundred meters of his temporary nest, Sistemm discovered eleven burrows of rats.

Because of the previous heavy rain, most of the rat holes do not have rats, and it is not known which cave the rat lives in.

Systm didn't have the idea of going to the rat burrows to dig deeper one by one, and it was unwise to clash with rats in the rat holes.

After observing the sky, it was close to dusk, and it was estimated that after an hour, it would be dark.

The rat is a typical diurnal creature, and as long as the rat goes out at night to forage for food because of hunger, with his vision that now sees night as day, he will definitely find this rat.
