In the boss room of the Goblin Cave.
The Goblin Leader asked his subordinates about the arrangements for the dungeon.
“How are the preparations coming along?”
The Goblin Leader could be said to be doing his best, but he was afraid that he had done something wrong that would cause him to be wiped out by that mysterious being.
He started as an ordinary Little Goblin, he had worked very hard to reach his current status. Nobody would know how much effort he had spent, how many tricks he had used, and how much he had suffered.
It was not easy for him to get to where he was today. He thought that after becoming the boss of a dungeon, he would be able to lead a smooth life, slowly upgrade his status among the entire group of goblins and eventually become the king of the group.
However, he did not expect that his dream would soon be pricked by reality.
If he could not deal with this mysterious being today, then he would definitely die a terrible death!
He had put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of time to reach his current status. It was very likely that he would lose it because of such a seemingly insignificant matter.
This was a disaster for the Goblin Leader who had finally come into contact with his dream!
A fatal disaster!
Therefore, the Goblin Leader was quite concerned about this matter. He even put all his energy into it.
“Leader, don’t worry about it! I have already fetched my second and third uncles, both of whom are Old Goblins. They don’t have any fighting strength, so they will not be able to hurt this player!”
A Big Goblin who was standing beside the Goblin Leader immediately assured him while patting on his chest.
“Mm.”
The Goblin Leader nodded slightly when he heard this.
Old Goblins do not have much combat strength. Even if they were to use their full power, they would not be a match for a Level 10 player.
“You did very well, I…”
The Goblin Leader was about to praise the Big Goblin, but a call suddenly rang in his mind, which frightened him.
There was only one person who could call him at this time!
‘I’m not doing anything wrong, right?’
The Goblin Leader was like a frightened chick at this moment. His heart was filled with fear and anxiety as he picked up the call.
“Hello?”
After hesitating for a moment, the Goblin Leader gritted his teeth and picked up the call.
“It doesn’t seem natural!”
The moment the call was picked up, a familiar voice came with a bone-chilling coldness.
This made the Goblin Leader tremble again.
It was him!
With just one sentence, the Goblin Leader confirmed that the existence on the other side of the call was indeed that mysterious being.
But what did he mean by saying it was not natural enough?
“Are you dissatisfied with my arrangements in any way?”
The Goblin Leader asked with a humble smile.
To be honest, he had never been so polite and respectful to anyone in his entire life, but he had to do it now.
Although the Goblin Leader didn’t even know who the other party was, or how they looked like.
He kept bowing to the air like a humble lackey.
The surrounding goblins were dumbfounded.
They all knew that the Goblin Leader seemed to have been intimidated by the strong figure behind the player, so he changed his mind.
This wasn’t a big deal for the goblins who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
However, they had never seen the Goblin Leader acting so humbly as though he had met a really powerful figure.
But this didn’t seem to make sense.
The Goblin Leader was already at a relatively high status among the goblins so he shouldn’t be treating others in this manner? Unless…
All of a sudden, all the goblins were a little afraid.
They originally thought that the other party was just an ordinary expert. At most, he was just a noble in human society. He had a lot of power, which was why he was able to make the Goblin Leader submit.
However, from the looks of it now, it was not that simple.
The expert hiding behind the players was most likely extremely terrifying. He could even directly destroy their dungeon. Otherwise, the leader would not be so afraid!
The moment this thought appeared, many goblins fell to the ground, their faces filled with fear.
Goblins were inherently cunning and cruel. They bullied the weak and feared the strong.
When they faced the weak, they could mercilessly torture and kill the other party.
However, when they faced the strong, they were also filled with humility and respect.
No matter what the strong did to them, they would not have any resistance.
Because this was their survival rule. If they met the weak, they would kill. If they met the strong, they would flee. If they could not escape, they would become the other party’s slave in exchange for the possibility of survival.
Therefore, in human society, goblins had always been called rats in the gutter.
From this title, one could roughly see what kind of creatures goblins were.
“I wonder if you have any dissatisfaction with our arrangement? If you could let us know, we will definitely correct it immediately!”
The Goblin Leader took a glance at these goblins who were already trembling in fear.
A hint of disdain and contempt flashed in his eyes.
However, he immediately put on a humble look.
“The show that you guys put on was too fake. What I want is cooperation! Not something completely inexplicable!”
“Um…”
When the Goblin Leader heard this, his expression instantly turned ugly.
‘You sent a weak player to kill us, and we took the initiative to let him pass the level. That already showed how respectful I was!’
‘Now you even want us to cooperate? Isn’t that too much?’
‘How do you want us to cooperate? By standing in a straight line and letting the player kill us?’
‘How is this acceptable?’
The Goblin Leader immediately began to ridicule in his heart.
He only felt that even when he was fighting those previous players to the death, it wasn’t as uncomfortable as it was now?
“What? You can’t do it?”
A cold, arrogant, and emotionless voice came from the other end of the call.
It immediately made the Goblin Leader tremble.
“No! It can be done!”
Immediately, the unhappy atmosphere was gone!
The Goblin Leader knew very well that he had to do his best to accomplish this mission, or else he would definitely die a miserable death!
“Mm.”
After a light snort, the call ended.
“Hurry up! All of you, get moving now!”
After hanging up the call, the Goblin Leader finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, with a serious expression, he began to clamor at his goblins.
These goblins put on looks of disdain on their faces, but due to the pressing situation, they could only accept their fate and do whatever was necessary.
These goblins bullied the weak and fear the strong!
