Chapter 6 – Hunt the Elf!
The Goblin Shaman slowly walked over, bent down, and picked up the weapon.
A smug, sinister smile spread across his face. "Hehehe! It's really ironware!"
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he stared coldly at Lin Tian. "You can die now!"
In the next second, he charged at Lin Tian with the blade in hand!
And his speed was astonishing!
"What? This old man is so treacherous!"
Lin Tian had thought he would try to kill him, but he hadn't expected him to be so direct! He even knew to strike first and create a diversion!
Clang! The sound of iron clashing echoed, sparks flying everywhere!
The Goblin Shaman thought he had succeeded and let out another sinister laugh. "Hehehe, goblins like you aren't allowed to exist here!"
But when he turned his head, Lin Tian was still standing there unharmed.
Because he was wearing plate armor, which had absorbed the blow.
The Goblin Shaman's eyes widened in rage, ready to scream, but a sharp pain shot through his chest.
Looking down, he saw a sharp spearhead had somehow pierced his chest.
"You! Aaaah! I'll kill you!"
The Goblin Shaman ignored everything else and continued to resist.
Lin Tian wasn't a fool; he had prepared in advance, hiding several spearheads on his body.
As the Shaman charged, Lin Tian threw them directly at him!
Swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, the Shaman was brought down.
His head, chest, arms, and face were all pierced with sharp spearheads.
"Even weaker than I imagined. I must have overestimated the defense of goblins."
Lin Tian hadn't expected to win so easily and sighed in relief.
Killing him meant he could take over this group of goblins, quickly strengthen them, and seek revenge on the Bearded Man and the White-robed Nun!
The Goblin Shaman screamed on the ground like a slaughtered pig, "Don't kill me, please! I took you in, you can't kill me."
He put on a pitiful face, looking extremely wretched.
But it was also very creepy.
Lin Tian's expression changed slightly. Moral coercion? But he quickly recovered. This guy knowing such things wasn't surprising.
He said coldly, "Did you forget? I'm a goblin too."
Lin Tian's expression was icy, his eyes filled with evil intent.
He was a goblin now; how could he be morally coerced?
If he wanted to kill, he would kill.
At this moment, the goblins who had gone out to find wooden sticks returned one after another.
Seeing the scene, they all became furious and excited but didn't know what to do.
The Goblin Shaman, as if grasping at a lifeline, quickly used his Summon skill, "Kill him! Kill him!"
His voice shattered the forest's tranquility, piercingly loud.
But the goblins remained indifferent, only hesitating slightly.
The Goblin Shaman had lost all his authority, and his Summon skill was ineffective.
Lin Tian picked up the Crescent Blade from the ground and walked up to him, "From now on, I am your new boss! I will lead you to attack the elves! Attack the humans! Mate fiercely! And have endless meat to eat!"
In a moment, cheers erupted, "New boss! New boss!"
Slash! Lin Tian swung the blade, severing one of the Goblin Shaman's arms and throwing it to the goblins.
"Boss! Boss!"
The goblins swarmed, fighting over the arm.
Lin Tian then stepped aside, letting the goblins completely devour the Shaman, leaving nothing behind!
Now, he was the boss of this goblin group!
And he had also acquired the 'Summon' skill.
"Boss, what's going on?!" Goblin Moon, awakened by the noise, came out leaning on a wooden stick to check the situation.
Lin Tian explained everything, almost scaring her silly, "You killed the Shaman? Oh my god!"
"Thanks to you, you should go back and rest. I still have things to handle here."
***
Lin Tian calmed the goblins.
He equipped them all with iron spears, a total of fifty, multiplying the combat power of this small tribe several times!
He continued his victory speech, instructing them to keep searching for iron ore, as much as possible.
Not only did every goblin need a weapon, but they also needed armor.
Only then could they defeat the elves, capture more breeding tools, and expand the tribe's numbers.
Goblins born from elves could naturally grow into Great Types!
Their strength far surpassed those born from animals.
***
Five days passed.
Finally, they had collected enough ore.
They began large-scale iron smelting.
Until everyone was equipped with armor and weapons, looking at this goblin tribe from afar was terrifying.
It was comparable to an army.
Unfortunately, their intelligence was low, and they lacked tactics.
In battle, they could only rely on instinct.
"Today, we go to the Enchanted Forest to hunt magical creatures. Listen to my orders, or you'll die!"
Lin Tian stood on a rock, shouting to all the goblins in the tribe.
He planned to train them, making it easier to attack the elves later.
Then, the goblin army set off in a mighty procession!
Their ranks were neat, their momentum strong!
Birds scattered, animals fled.
Soon, they saw from a distance a third-tier enchanted creature, a Black-maned Giant Bear, gnawing on a Great Antlered Deer!
It was as big as an elephant!
The fallen towering trees around it proved how ferocious this creature was!
Killing it would be too difficult; this group of goblins was far from enough.
At most, they could hunt some second-tier enchanted creatures.
Finally, they encountered a pack of second-tier enchanted wolves.
There were seven or eight of them, each as big as a donkey.
These were magical creatures even elves didn't dare provoke, among the fiercest and strongest of the second tier.
They were fast, powerful, and could even climb trees.
The key was that the alpha wolf could command tactics.
They roamed the Enchanted Forest unchallenged.
Hearing the low growls of the wolves, some goblins trembled in fear, "Boss, are we hunting enchanted wolves?"
Lin Tian thought for a moment and decided, "Yes, if we kill the enchanted wolves, our strength will greatly increase."
Checking through the system, he found the enchanted wolves had a powerful skill.
'Iron Blooded Wolf Nature.'
Once they saw blood, they could trigger their wolf nature, gaining a 20% boost to all attributes and not feeling pain.
"You go left, you go right, surround the wolf pack!"
Under Lin Tian's pressure, all the goblins, despite their fear, obediently surrounded the wolves.
"Press them!"
With Lin Tian's command, all the goblins began to close in, pointing their iron spears at the wolves, forcing them closer together.
The enchanted wolves started to jump and growl, crashing into the iron spears in a frenzy.
Trying to break through.
But soon, their bodies were cut, bleeding!
Lin Tian commanded from the side, "Hold steady! Don't panic! Press them tighter!"
Now, they just needed the enchanted wolves to kill themselves.
Sure enough, the wolf pack began to panic, no longer following the alpha wolf's commands, crashing around madly.
Each wolf was covered in wounds.
Soon, they bled out and started to fall.
The goblin formation was only slightly disrupted, as the enchanted wolves were still very powerful.
***
"Hehehe! Great! We killed them!"
"We can even eat enchanted wolves!"
"Long live the boss! Long live!"
All the goblins raised their hands, cheering and jumping for joy.
They immediately began to feast on the enchanted wolves.
Ability acquired: Iron Blooded (Passive Skill: In combat, seeing blood grants a 20% boost to all attributes and nullifies pain for 3 minutes).
After eating, Lin Tian's mind echoed with the system's notification.
This was the goblins' unique skill, Gene Devour, growing stronger by devouring powerful creatures.
Though they started as the weakest magical creatures, they had the potential to become the strongest.
No wonder they were blessed by the Deity.
Scanning the goblins, most had reached level ten, with the highest even at level thirteen.
Their attributes had also doubled.
But it was still far from enough.
Next, they needed to continue hunting magical creatures, with the ultimate goal of hunting the Black-maned Giant Bear!
By devouring its 'Giant Mountain' skill, the goblins' HP, strength, and defense could multiply!
It was unimaginable how strong they would become.
***
Three days passed.
This mighty goblin army had cumulatively killed three second-tier magical creatures: enchanted wolves, Giant Tusked Pigs, and Earth Monsters.@@novelbin@@
And four first-tier magical creatures: Tailless Cats, Ghost-faced Monkeys, Two-headed Snakes, and Wandering Spirits.
Besides 'Iron Blooded Wolf Nature,' they had also acquired 'Giant Fang,' where their teeth could grow larger, increasing attack power.
Then there was 'Stone Skin,' which added 15 points to basic defense, equivalent to wearing plate armor.
Most importantly, they had gained the abilities of the first-tier magical creatures Ghost-faced Monkey and Tailless Cat.
'Climbing' and 'Walk in Silence.'
These would be crucial when attacking the Elf Tribe.
The rest of the abilities were less useful. The Two-headed Snake could secrete venom, and the Wandering Spirit could become a ghost for a while after death.
But it was enough for now.
At this moment, they heard rhythmic tremors in the ground, signaling the approach of a giant creature!
Lin Tian instantly became alert, "Just in time, Black-maned Giant Bear! Everyone, climb the trees!"
"Squawk!"
A group of goblins screeched and climbed the tall trees like monkeys, hiding in the darkness.
Sure enough, the elephant-sized Black-maned Giant Bear appeared, its red eyes glowing like two light bulbs!
Shining in the dark.
Snort, snort!
Its loud breathing was particularly eerie!
It was a massive creature.
Estimated to weigh 20 tons! Though similar in size to an elephant, its bone density, muscle mass, and steel-like fur added more weight.
In this Enchanted Forest, it roamed unchallenged!
Any creature that saw it would avoid it, even enchanted wolf packs.
The Black-maned Giant Bear sniffed the air, found the mushrooms Lin Tian had thrown, and quickly started eating them.
Everyone could see its terrifying size, incredibly robust! And it exuded an invisible pressure!
Making it hard to breathe.

The Black-maned Giant Bear devoured the mushrooms, consuming hundreds of pounds in the blink of an eye.
It was about to leave.
Having finally gotten into the perfect attack position, Lin Tian couldn't let it go. He gave the order, "Shoot it!"
"Ahhh!"
From the treetops, the goblins roared!
They hurled iron spears down!
One after another!
But they quickly regretted it; the iron spears couldn't even pierce the Black-maned Giant Bear's skin!
The strength of a third-tier magical beast far surpassed the second tier.
Attacked, the Black-maned Giant Bear went berserk, crashing around wildly.
Though it couldn't climb trees, its random charges toppled the towering trees like matchsticks.
The goblins fell and fled in panic.
Lin Tian's expression was serious but not panicked, "It shouldn't be like this. The Death Mushroom's toxin can kill even fourth-tier magical beasts. Why isn't this one dying? Is it immune?"
But he had checked earlier; the Black-maned Giant Bear didn't have an immunity to toxins.
Among the mushrooms it had eaten were many highly toxic ones, and the iron spears were coated with the Two-headed Snake's paralyzing venom.
It seemed the creature was too massive, and the toxin was taking effect too slowly.
"Ah!"
One by one, goblins screamed as the Black-maned Giant Bear devoured them!
In no time, four or five goblins had been eaten.
Lin Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Hmph, if you don't die, who will?"
These goblins had the Two-headed Snake's venom secretion ability, making the toxin act faster once ingested.
The Black-maned Giant Bear's movements began to wobble.
It tried to knock down a tree but couldn't hit accurately.
Boom!
Finally, with a loud crash, the Black-maned Giant Bear fell!
Squawk! Seeing this, all the goblins danced and cheered!
Lin Tian quickly ordered, "Eat it all, gain the skills, and leave quickly!"
Gene Devour wasn't guaranteed to grant skills in one bite, but it was almost certain.
Congratulations, host, for acquiring the 'Giant Mountain' ability, doubling HP!
After eating, even though much of the Black-maned Giant Bear's flesh remained, they had to abandon it.
The commotion would surely attract more magical beasts.
Back at the tribe, Lin Tian was pleased to see the goblins, all significantly stronger!

Now, any goblin's overall strength was over two hundred!
Comparable to an average human adventurer.
Lin Tian hadn't neglected Goblin Moon either, raising her level to 30, with an overall strength of 400.
Comparable to the Bearded Man at his peak.
"After all this, our strength has finally made a qualitative leap."
Lin Tian sighed, the tribe's bonfire bright, the smell of roasted meat wafting through the air.
Compared to other transmigrators, his strength had improved slowly, but it was the best he could do.
In this brutal world where death was always a possibility, survival itself was a challenge.
"Boss, what are we going to do next?" Goblin Moon asked curiously, now like a little cat, always following Lin Tian, very obedient.
She had become his toy.
But Lin Tian still treated her as a friend, thinking aloud, "It's about time to attack the Elf Tribe. That way, we can greatly increase our tribe's strength."

By now, they were strong enough to deal with the Bearded Man.
But his master was the Sword Saintess. If they were unlucky and ran into her, it would end in a crushing defeat.
So, they needed to capture elves, breed a new generation of goblins, and then they would have a foolproof chance.
Lin Tian didn't want to go through the torment again.
This time, he was the hunter!
But a hunter needed to sharpen his blade first.
***
To the north, in the Everwood Forest, lay the Elf Tribe.
Here, many towering trees grew, their trunks often over ten meters thick! Elves liked to carve out treehouses high up in the trunks.
It was a great way to avoid enemies.
Combined with their skill in archery, it was easy to defend and hard to attack. Many magical creatures, even humans, came and left in defeat.
Thus, the elves had occupied the forest for thousands of years.
