Chapter 110: Chapter 108: Stream

Qin Jiagui walked to the body of the golden goblin, his face changing slightly as he trembled.

Zhao Shichang, who was right behind him, also gasped in surprise.

The corpse of the golden goblin on the ground was torn open and gutted, its four limbs had all been broken, twisted like twisted doughnuts. It could be said that the golden goblin had died a miserable death. At first glance, a thought sprang to the minds of Qin Jiagui, Zhao Shichang, and others: this golden goblin was tortured to death by humans.

With the notion that there could be a chance, Qin Jiagui reached into the body of the golden goblin, only to find no treasure. It seemed like it had been killed by someone who had taken the treasure.

The golden goblin was slightly weaker than the golden goblin king but was still a creature of the same rank as the golden goblin. Anyone who could brutally kill a golden goblin like this would at least be a second-level or even higher- strength entity.

Qin Jiagui and Zhao Shichang exchanged a glance. Zhao Shichang wasn’t overly anxious since he was now a second-level Black Iron Warrior. He was even confident to combat a living golden goblin, should he encounter one.

Yet Qin Jiagui was much more thoughtful, guessing who might have killed the golden goblin. Given the brutality used to kill the golden goblin, regardless of their nature as a being, this individual or individuals were surely merciless. Moreover, was it a single person or a small group like them?

However, the corpse of this golden goblin couldn’t provide him with too much information about the perpetrator(s).

After a short rest, the group set off again. Su Yu remained in deep sleep which increasingly troubled Zhang Zhongmou, Ma Ziye, Su Yun, and the others. But Su Yu seemed perfectly fine, showing no signs different from a normal sleep.

Upon passing through a dense forest, the terrain began to change with more rocks and fewer grasses and shrubs, which gradually increased the group’s movement speed. The terrain became higher, and a cliff over a hundred meters high appeared in front of them. The slope beneath the cliff was covered with vines and other plants. What relieved everyone was that there was a stream at the bottom of the slope. Although the stream was thin and winding, it was a delightful sight amidst a forest.

"Everyone, be careful." Zhao Shichang raised his voice. Although the plants and vines on the slope were thick, there didn’t seem to be any poisonous insects or snakes in this forest. At least, they hadn’t seen a single poisonous snake in the many days they’d spent in this forest, which was greatly different from the forests in their previous world.

Qin Jiagui spread out the map to take a look and realized it was unlikely to bypass the current area. Their only option was to proceed down the slope.

"Ni Ping, be careful, hold on to me." Qin Jiagui grabbed on to a vine and reached out to his girlfriend, Yuan Niping, with the other hand.

Ma Ziye looked down the slope a few times, then slipped down the bag full of food, followed by her and Zhang Zhongmou handling Su Yu together.

Seeing Ma Ziye’s actions, the others also slid down their bags first, which made the descent down the slope much easier.

Although it was termed a slope, it was actually quite steep. Everyone had to rely on the vines and plants on the slope to steady themselves as they slowly slid down, with Zhao Shichang descending the fastest.

Ever since he reached the second level, he felt like he had boundless strength. At this moment, he first threw his bag down the slope, grabbed two vines with both hands, and with a push from his feet, he shot down in a straight line.

He covered the distance of forty to fifty meters in a blink of an eye. After landing, he rolled to dissipate the impact, quickly rose, and yelled while looking at those still descending, "Hurry up, it’s fine. Slide straight down."

As Zhao Shichang was waving and shouting, his smile suddenly froze before he yelled, "Everyone be careful, hurry down——"

On the slope, a reptilian creature similar to a standing alligator had unexpectedly appeared. This creature was covered in scales and had a frog-like head, similar to the creature they encountered the night before. It was after killing this creature, Zhao Shichang had evolved into a "Second-Level Black Iron Warrior".

What was beyond Zhao Shichang’s expectation was the appearance of this creature once again while everyone was still descending.

Hearing Zhao Shichang’s urgent cry below, everyone climbing the slope felt a chill. Looking up, they saw the creature slide down the slope at a speed much faster than theirs.

"Ni Ping——" Seeing the danger, Qin Jiagui shouted, his hand holding his girlfriend’s hand tight, and without any second thoughts, they quickly slid downwards.

But this creature was sliding down directly towards Zhang Zhongmou, Ma Ziye, and Su Yu.

Unconscious Su Yu was being held by Zhang Zhongmou and Ma Ziye, their other hands holding on to the vines as they descended slowly. They were the last ones, and the creature was heading straight for them.

"Be careful——" Zhou Birong, on the other side, also shouted out. She had been hit in the face by this creature the night before. Seeing the danger, she quickly pulled out her gun and fired the last few bullets.

The sliding creature was momentarily halted and glanced at Zhou Birong.

Zhou Birong’s intention was exactly to attract its attention and make it jump towards her side. She released her grip on the vine and slid down regardless of potential injuries. Zhao Shichang was waiting below; he should be able to deal with the creature.

Meanwhile, Zhao Shichang was climbing back using the vines, but it was much more difficult. His speed was slow, and he saw the creature stopped for a moment before sliding again towards Zhang Zhongmou.

"Be careful, slide down quickly——" Zhao Shichang shouted anxiously from below.

"Damn creature." Zhang Zhongmou, whose face was half turned into rock, was extremely frustrated yet helpless. Seeing the creature’s mouth wide open, its forked blood-red tongue suddenly shot out.

"Jump——" Zhang Zhongmou let go of the vine and grabbed Su Yu to slide straight down.

Ma Ziye, who had been observing carefully, promptly grabbed a handful of vines and gave it a hard pull. With a shout, she dodged the incoming red tongue, and at the same time, all the vines the creature and she were hanging on broke. With a loud rumbling, the slope rumbled with cascading soil and rocks, and Ma Ziye and the creature fell down together.
