…

Compared to the regular 1 or 2 attribute points she had at first, Lo Ya’s current combat strength was simply astonishing. Of course, she acquired most of the attributes from upgrade. Only a few of them came from the attribute books and enhancement coupons obtained from opening the chest.

In the course of the battles she fought, Lo Ya relied on using surprise techniques and various kinds of tools. If those elements were not there and she had to rely on just brute force, then she didn’t stand a chance against the strength of many wild beasts.

“Eh? Something is not right. Why is there an additional strength evaluation in the personal strength column?”

Black Iron Level!

She stretched out her hand and clicked on the glowing three words. Then, a row of brief introduction popped up beside her.

Black Iron Level: The entry level of a human expert with average attributes greater than 10. In actual fact, there are variations based on individual differences.]

“Oh I see, it’s actually measured by human strength.”

She didn’t expect the initial level of professionals to be that powerful. If that was the case, there was no telling what level powerful Experts were at.

At that moment, the Sickle Insects on the giant bear’s body were already somewhat hungry. Lo Ya ordered it to jump to the side where wooden stake had pierced the bear, bite off some meat, and share with their companions on top.

Shortly afterwards, the entire Insect Girl Clan started to enjoy a feast in front of the elder Goblin.

“Do these guys eat everything?” The elder wrinkled his nose in disgust.

It didn’t matter if it was a cyan bug or a vegetable leaf, whether it was dog meat or bear meat, the elder felt that as long as it could be chewed, the insect girls would eat it.

At the same time, something even more shocking happened.

The Sickle Insects that were eating entered a reproductive state one after another, and began to give birth to larvae.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the three larvae that were born earlier began to crack, and 3 small Sickle Insects crawled out from them. They let out excited insect cries as soon as they came out. Then, they jumped into the pit and began to eat the unfinished bear meat.

“Is this how they breed?”

The old Goblin had never considered the Sickle Insects as part of the insect girls. He had always thought that the two were different species.

In nature, symbiotic relationships among different creatures were not uncommon. For example, a strange beast would often gave its captured prey to the Scaled Bird. In return, the Scaled Bird took the initiative to help them pick parasites off their bodies.

But the relationship between the Sickle Insects and Insect Girls was obviously different, because they actually had the same tail.

While the the elder Goblin was muttering, Lo Yu knocked on his leg, raised a piece of meat in her hand and said, “Elder, would you like to have some?”

“Uh… No thanks. I don’t eat bear meat.”

To be precise, he didn’t eat raw meat.

The Goblin species were advanced in civilization. Not only did they learn how to use fire, but they also cultivated various types of grains. No one knew how many years it had been since they last had to eat raw meat.

Right before his eyes, in just three short hours, more than half of the huge bear carcass had been eaten. The Sickle Insects had reproduced more than ten larvae in succession, and all of them were being taken care of by the Insect Girls.

“It’s time to leave.”

After they had eaten their fill, Lo Ya stared towards the sky and told the Sickle Insects to bring along the remaining half of the bear carcass. Then they followed the elder Goblin and continued on their journey.

As the night drew nearer, they arrived at a relatively secluded valley. There was a row of simple wooden walls built within the valley and two Goblins holding short spears in their hands, were standing on guard on both sides of the gate.

“Elder?”

On seeing the visitors, one of the Goblin exclaimed.

“Where is the chief? I came back with a few guests.” The elder walked quickly towards them.

The two Goblins looked at each other and said bitterly, “The patriarch died in the fight against some wild beasts not long ago. Now, there is only one elder left in the tribe.”

“What?”

“Not long ago, we were attacked by wolves. Less than half of the total number of Goblins survived.”

The elder Goblin had a tightened expression on his face.

There were only a few members of their tribe left. With a repeated loss, how many of them would remain?

He became dispirited. The glimmer of hope that had developed in his heart disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

However, Lo Ya, who was behind him, received a new mission on the translucent screen.

[Mission: Attack or form an alliance (choose 1 from the 2)]

[Description: 1. Attack: Join the Goblins and seize the territory of the Hound Clan. 2. Unite: Unite the Goblins and form an alliance with the Hound Clan.]

Reward: 1.1000 evolution points 2. Upgrade random components.]

…

Objectively, Lo Ya was inclined to attack.

War meant obtaining more food and evolution points. It also meant more procreation for their race. However, if the Hound Clan was too strong, they would undoubtedly be taking a huge risk if they chose to attack.

The Elder had returned with Insect Girl and the others to the territory of the Goblins. Some of them recognized them, and they looked extremely panicked. It wasn’t until the elder explained that the atmosphere eased up a little.

“Elder, this is all that is left of our people.” Another female Goblin pointed at those twenty old, weak, and disabled Goblins who were seated in front of her and sighed deeply, “Most of the adult Goblins died in battle. Almost half of the survivors were the elderly and children, while the rest were women.”

“Looks like the situation is even worse than I imagined. Because I’m the only one from the hunting squad who survived the attack. Our only option now is probably to seek help from the Hound Clan.”

“But, the hounds are a large tribe. If we meet them in this state…”

“We don’t have any more options — the Gaeta Insect Swarm is about to head south, and there’s no way we can just go to the territory of the Devil Beast Lord. I’m sure you know that.” The Elder turned his head and glanced at Lo Ya who was beside him. “When we were hunting earlier, I was seriously injured and they saved me. Now, we are not strong enough, but if we ask the Hound Clan for assistance with them on our side, I don’t think they’ll refuse.”

Perhaps it was because of the huge loss their tribe has suffered; he didn’t have much confidence in his own words.
