Annie told Osmond about her situation.
During the conversation, he gained a basic understanding of Annie.
As someone on top of the food chain, it was common for Osmond to bare his fangs when hunting prey.
However, he was definitely a demon king who abhorred evil.
To protect his teammates, to form a team, and to gain Annie’s trust, Osmond decided to avenge Annie.
He asked, “Annie, where are the goblins? I’ll go take a look.”
Annie thought for a while and replied, “I only know that the goblins are active in the Bolder Ruins. I don’t know the exact location.”
He looked at Annie’s confused look and frowned.
Then, he took out his ID and gave it to Annie.
“This is my personal account. If you encounter Goblins next time, you can send me a message. I’ll rush over immediately.”
Annie saw how serious Osmond was and felt a sense of security.
She had thought that she would die at his hands, but she did not expect him to help her instead. Annie had an indescribable feeling.
In this world, a player could send messages to other players through the system’s public screen.
However, Osmond had not sent any messages on the public screen except when he was trapped by the Spider King.
This was because he did not want to expose too much information on the public screen, and at the same time, avoid unnecessary trouble.
This was the first time he had given someone his ID account.
Despite having just met Annie, Osmond gave her his ID, which proved that he had lowered his guard against this Pink Diamond Rabbit.
Annie came to this world with no one to rely on, and she fled everywhere every day. This was not the life she wanted.
After Osmond’s sincere invitation, Annie heartily agreed to join his team.
And just like that…
Anne became the second member of Osmond’s team.
Osmond didn’t want to stay in the Bolder Ruins any longer. He felt that it would be difficult to find a suitable place for him to settle down there. It didn’t suit him.
So he said.
“Annie, I’ll go to other places to see if there’s a suitable place for me to stay. I’ll look for you after I find it.”
Annie felt the same way and also wanted to leave this place.
Hearing Osmond’s words, Annie replied happily.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Osmond flapped his dragon wings and flew dozens of meters high.
…
On the other side of the valley.
Hill was looking for prey.
There was a small river between the two mountains. A few elks were drinking water by the river.
He watched from the shadows, trying to catch the elk so he could have a good meal.
He quietly hid behind a rock and secretly watched, trying to pounce on the elk when it wasn’t paying attention.
Suddenly, the elk was frightened.
It was not that Hill had frightened the elk, but that a cheetah had suddenly chased after them.
The frightened elk ran away and disappeared.
Hill was furious when he saw his prey being scared away by the cheetah.
He hated that cheetah.
Fortunately, the cheetah did not run far. He shifted his target to the cheetah.
Seeing that the cheetah was getting closer and closer to him, he suddenly dashed out.
The cheetah could not react in time. Hill grabbed the cheetah and gave it a fierce beating. He waved his bear claws and smashed them at the cheetah’s head.
Not long after, the cheetah died from suffocation.
The system prompted.
“Ding dong, your experience points +1.”
“Ding dong, your experience points +1.”
“Ding dong, your experience points +1.”
“Ding dong, your experience points +1.”
“…”
This was an ordinary cheetah.
Although his EXP and Stamina had only increased by a bit, Hill was able to recover a lot of his stamina.
Then, he walked along the river and kept looking for prey.
In the deep valley, there were a few baboons barking in the dense forest from time to time. Their echoes could be heard.
After the goblins’ celebration, the invited elders had returned to their own tribes..
There were now only a little more than a hundred goblins left in the tribe.
It was now the third day since Chris and his troops departed.
Chris was still a day away from reaching the Bolder Ruins.
On this day, the goblins searched for villages near the mountains as usual.
The goblins arrived at a village at the foot of the mountain.
They burned, killed, and plundered the villagers’ houses for valuables.
As this village was far away from the palace of the Locke Kingdom and was very remote, no one paid much attention to it.
Furthermore, the villagers were weak and could not defend themselves. There was nothing they could do against the frenzied plundering of the Goblins.
The villagers sighed in resentment, unable to do anything.
No matter which village the goblins went to, the village would be robbed. The goblins would fill up their cloth bags and swaggered off.
Goblins had a keen sense of money, were extremely fast, and were very cunning. They lived in groups and had a natural talent for plundering. Every time, they would have a perfect plunder plan.
Because of this, many villagers were afraid when they saw goblins. Some villagers were forced to starve to death, while other villagers moved their families away from the village to other places to avoid the goblins.
“Hey, stop right there! You bunch of bandits, I’m going to kill you all!”
A villager shouted angrily at a few goblins.
“Chee chee choo choo… (Hahahaha, stupid person, don’t even think about getting your stuff back.)”
The goblins said sarcastically.
The villagers did not understand what the goblins were saying. They only knew how to say “chee choo”, which was very annoying.
There was a burly man in the village called Wright. He stood out and blocked the path of the goblins.
“Stop! You ugly green bugs!”
The goblins stopped at Wright’s call and glared at him.
Wright said calmly, “Put down your things obediently.”
Of course, these goblins would not listen to him. They carried their cloth bags and headed in another direction.
At this moment, Wright took a hoe and smashed it at one of the Goblins.
Bang! It hit.
Wright caught up and said, “Hmph, now do as I say!”
The goblin bared its teeth and looked at Wright, as if threatening him.
Wright didn’t fall for the goblin’s trick. He punched the goblin and broke his front teeth, leaving him bleeding. The goblin wailed and covered his mouth with his hand.
The other two Goblins had not run far. When they saw their companions being beaten, they quickly ran back.
These few had fought with Wright for a while, but they had never fought before. They were all beaten to the ground by Wright.
Wright shouted, “Put down our stuff and go away.”
Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, the goblins dropped the cloth bags and ran away.
