"Very well, withdraw now."
Shiji nodded to the few kobold scouts, then walked from the back of the troop to the very front.
He silently advanced along the path the scouts had mapped out, his footsteps almost soundless.
As his body grew stronger and from constant battles with demons and beasts, Shiji's control over his power became more refined.
Soon, Shiji saw a spot not far ahead where the dense fog had completely dissipated.
A wooden watchtower several meters tall stood there.
Beneath the watchtower, two goblin warriors, wielding iron sabers and dressed in tattered beast hide armor, sat on the ground eating a green snake.
Pulling off the snake's head, they skillfully removed the venom glands, each goblin warrior ate half, consuming the unconsciously writhing snake body as if it were spicy strips.
The scene was barbaric and bloody.
Unnoticed, Shiji quietly approached the two goblin warriors from behind. By the time they sensed danger, there was a crack.
