Chapter 108: Chapter 071: It’s Living, Not Just Being Alive

Not until they had left the territory, and no longer were any human eyes cast upon them, did Denglop and Victor slowly come to their senses.

"Lord... My lord, your territory doesn’t seem to despise the goblin?" Victor finally mustered the courage to ask Zhou Bai.

"Why should we despise them?" Zhou Bai replied. She truly didn’t understand the goblins, only paying attention to them after Harrison mentioned their mining talents.

Seeing the confusion on Zhou Bai’s face, Victor realized that they might not understand their situation.

Was it because of their ignorance that they were so kind to them? Would they continue to be kind once they knew more?

Victor suddenly didn’t want to explain; he was a bit afraid!

Seeing Victor fall silent, Zhou Bai had a guess and said directly, "Don’t worry! In our territory, as long as you are a resident, everyone is treated equally and protected by the rules of our land, including goblins. Rest assured and stay! If you can find minerals for our territory, you will be greatly merited."

Upon hearing Zhou Bai’s words, Victor was stunned.

Unconditional equality.

For them, the goblins, these words were always elusive in front of any race.

Even among humans, despite their current vulnerability, they had never held goblins in high regard. In fact, they also captured goblins to enslave them, to work in the mines.

Across the entire Stan Continent, their Goblin Clan had no territory of their own; they hid wherever they could.

He died in a mining disaster.

So hearing Zhou Bai’s words now, it was hard for him not to be moved.

But, could it be true?

"Stay in our territory for a longer time and you will see," said Zhou Bai straightforwardly, knowing that talking up future promises was useless; they had to experience it for themselves to believe!

She had temporary confidence in the territory under her control.

Not just because she could set the rules but because everyone came from an egalitarian society, fundamentally different from the humans of this world. That was the source of her confidence.

Victor, listening to Zhou Bai’s casual words, sneakily glanced at her and stayed quiet.

After all, he was employed to do a job, and he intended to do it well.

Quickly, Victor and Denglop both took out a professional attitude and produced a tool.

As soon as the tool appeared, its needle began to spin rapidly.

"Follow us!" Victor said to Zhou Bai, already moving in a certain direction.

Zhou Bai, curious about the tool in their hands, followed them.

After a short while, following their direction, Zhou Bai soon recognized that they were heading toward the solvent cave.

The solvent cave was also one of the resource points, home to the Demon Snakes. Killing Demon Snakes often dropped Beast Tendon, one of the materials to make bows and arrows, so the territory had a long-term purchase task with a nice price. Thus, there were many teams that came to this area.

As for Zhou Bai, she truly loathed the existence of snakes and was reluctant to come to this area.

Moreover, she had never considered that iron ore could exist in a place like a solvent cave.

As they approached the solvent cave, the needle in Victor’s hand spun faster and remained within a certain range.

This made both Victor and Denglop more certain of one thing.

"There is iron ore nearby; it should yield plenty of iron ore."

"Really?" Zhou Bai exclaimed in surprise. Although she had some guesses before, guesses were only guesses; now confirmed, how could she not be happy?

"Uh-huh." Victor nodded seriously, "In mining, the Goblin Clan rarely makes mistakes."

It was their racial talent, and of course, the source of their clan’s disasters. He wondered whether having such a talent was a good thing or if it would have been better not to have it.

"Let’s go! Find the exact location, then we can send people to mine," said Zhou Bai quickly.

With this discovery, the cost of producing weapons and equipment for their territory could be reduced again.

The three people hastened their steps.

And just as they arrived at the solvent cave resource point, they heard the sound of intense combat.

The "hiss hiss hiss" of the snakes filled the air.

Zhou Bai felt goosebumps all over; when she looked, she saw Li Xingteng leading a team of Shield Soldiers in a skirmish.

The Demon Snake nimbly weaved through the crowd, the Shield Soldiers wielding wooden shields in one hand and iron axes in the other.

Zhou Bai knew that many of the Shield Soldiers led by Li Xingteng were actually Swordsmen and had also purchased Armor-Piercing Swords, but now, they were armed with bronze weapons and shields.
