From Ant to Abyssal Demon

Chapter 21: Goblin City!

Due to the Goblin genes invested in this evolution, all four newly appeared skills are related to Goblins.

【Heavy Strike】: Active skill. Consumes half of your stamina, dealing physical damage equal to twice your strength attribute, with a slight chance of inflicting a severe injury on the enemy.

【Savage Throw】: Active skill. Consumes half of your stamina, throwing a strike that surpasses ordinary power, dealing physical damage equal to twice your strength attribute.

【Lesser Fireball】: Active skill. Consumes 20 mana points, releasing a lesser fireball that deals fire damage equal to twice your spirit attribute, and inflicts a burning effect on the enemy.

【Lesser Ice Arrow】: Active skill. Consumes 20 mana points, releasing a lesser ice arrow that deals frost damage equal to twice your spirit attribute, and inflicts a slowing effect on the enemy.

【Heavy Strike】 comes from Goblin Warriors, 【Savage Throw】 from Goblin Throwers, 【Lesser Fireball】 and 【Lesser Ice Arrow】 from Flame Goblins and Frost Goblins respectively.

After a brief consideration, Su Bai chose the 【Heavy Strike】 skill.

The reason was that all his passive skills were related to physical damage.

Though the damage from the two spell skills was high, for him, choosing a physical damage skill yielded greater benefits!

As for the consumption of the 【Heavy Strike】 skill…

Su Bai silently added a point to the 【Heavy Strike】 skill.

Level 2 Heavy Strike.

The stamina consumption changed from half to a quarter, and the damage increased from twice to 2.5 times the strength attribute.

Keep adding!

Level 3 Heavy Strike.

Keep going!

When the third soul point was added to the already level 3 【Heavy Strike】, both 【Heavy Strike】 and 【Shadow Stealth】 skills blurred.

Then, both skills disappeared, replaced by a new skill.

【Shadow Assault】: Passive skill. When in shadows or behind cover, your stealth effect is greatly enhanced. Upon exiting stealth, you gain an agility boost equal to twice your agility attribute for 2 seconds. Attacking from stealth deals physical damage equal to five times your strength attribute, with a high chance of inflicting severe injury on the enemy.

A very powerful skill!

The new skill, combining 【Heavy Strike】 and 【Shadow Stealth】, could definitely serve as Su Bai’s trump card!

Physical damage five times the strength attribute – probably no one but a boss could withstand his sudden attack.

Seeing he only had 3 soul points left, Su Bai added another point to 【Tough Carapace】, upgrading it to 【Heavy Armor Carapace】, further enhancing his defense.

Only when he had no skills left to improve did he close his attribute panel.

The fifth evolution required 10,000 evolution points, and upgrading his attribute template from advanced to elite required hunting elite monsters, which he couldn’t complete in a short time.

So…

His next target was to infiltrate the Goblin main camp, kill Goblin Grand General, and complete the system-given task!

“Hope the general won’t disappoint me…”

With a soft murmur, Su Bai’s figure quickly disappeared into the forest.

—

Deep in the dark forest, countless shabby tents spread densely throughout the woods.

Thousands of Goblins lived in these hundreds of tents.

In the center of these tents was a cleared area of several hundred square meters. A particularly large tent, made of branches and mud, stood in the middle of this clearing.

This large tent was Goblin General Gorg’s “palace.”

Compared to ordinary Goblins, Gorg was two meters tall and incredibly robust, looking more like a northern green-skinned orc than a Goblin.

Not only was Gorg exceptionally strong, but he also possessed intelligence that ordinary Goblins lacked.

After obtaining his ancestors’ inheritance, Gorg had once left the dark forest, ventured into the human world, and even experienced being captured by a human slave-hunting team and given to a human noble as a slave.

This experience showed Gorg the power of humans.

After escaping from the humans, Gorg decided to unify the Goblins and establish a Goblin kingdom in the dark forest.

With his formidable strength, Gorg successfully conquered and unified the Goblin tribes in the dark forest. Just as he was preparing to expand the Goblins’ strength and create a Goblin kingdom, bad news kept coming.

In less than ten days, contact was lost with a dozen Goblin camps, and hundreds of Goblins vanished without a trace.

For the Goblins, whose total number was only a few thousand, the disappearance of these hundreds accounted for a tenth of their population!

When the news reached Gorg, he was furious, sending out numerous Goblin scouts and guards to patrol the forest, hoping to catch the enemy hunting the Goblins.

But most of these scouts and guards also went missing after leaving “Goblin City.”

No signs of life, no bodies found.

It was as if an invisible demon hidden in the darkness was devouring the Goblin race!

This repeated.

After losing a large number of scouts and guards, Gorg had to gather most Goblins in Goblin City to minimize their losses.

Angry and fearful, Gorg had no idea that the demon devouring Goblins had quietly arrived at Goblin City!
