Chapter 39：Human Team

Watching the goblins training outside, Goburo felt as if he had traveled through time.

In an instant, he gained hundreds of years of memories, overwhelming his mind and causing a headache.

The past 140 years had taught him so much that it was almost unbearable to have all those memories flood in at once.

After taking a moment to recover, Goburo slowly walked out of the cave.

He looked around at the simple equipment in the surroundings and felt a sense of displeasure.

In his memories, Goburo had grown accustomed to the magnificent architecture of the goblin civilization and the breathtaking landscapes of the elven realm.

Although Goburo had made some improvements to the camp, the overall environment remained dirty and chaotic.

However, he understood that he couldn't change this in a short amount of time.

After pausing for a while, Goburo glanced at the deep end of the valley.

It was almost time to offer sacrifices to the creature in the lake, which meant that he might finally be able to leave the valley.

Just as he came out, Goburi rushed over and said, "Boss, taste the roasted meat I made."

As Goburi spoke, she presented a golden-brown roasted rabbit leg.

As Goburi spoke, she noticed Goburo's figure. Whether it was her illusion or not, she felt that Goburo had grown bigger and looked even more handsome.

Noticing Goburi's gaze, Goburo took the roasted rabbit leg and took a hearty bite, savoring the tender and juicy meat. With the addition of the special sauce, it tasted quite good.

"Not bad, you're improving. Soon you'll catch up to me," he praised.

Hearing his compliment, Goburi blushed shyly.

"I need to go out for a while, you can continue your work," he said.

"Okay, Boss," replied Goburo.

After that, Goburo left the camp.

According to his memory, he left the valley and headed towards the marshland.

As he looked at the familiar scenery along the way, he felt as if he had truly been here before. It didn't take long for him to reach his destination.

Soon, Goburo saw the crocodiles disguised as logs in the marshland.

Besides the crocodiles, he noticed four humans near the shore. Judging from their clothes, they were a team of rookie adventurers.

Despite the presence of a cute-looking female priest among them, which slightly intrigued Goburo, he didn't make any moves. He preferred to remain hidden.

Moreover, the crocodiles in the water might not necessarily be enemies of this human team.

As they made their way through the swamp, one of the crocodiles suddenly leaped out of the water and pounced on one of the humans.

However, due to its low intelligence, it didn't choose the right target for the ambush.

The crocodile attacked one of the warriors in the group.

Although the warrior was wearing ordinary leather armor, it wasn't easy to be instantly killed by such an ambush.

The crocodile's jaws bit hard onto the warrior's thigh, but the armor prevented the leg from being severed immediately.

After the attack, the rookie warrior panicked and swung his sword recklessly, accidentally stabbing the crocodile in the eye.

In pain, the crocodile instinctively let go of its prey.

The other members of the team quickly joined the fight, and they managed to kill the crocodile.

The priest immediately tended to the warrior's injuries, while the others started to divide valuable parts from the crocodile's body.

Observing this, Goburo nodded from his hiding place. The team was indeed not bad, but luck wasn't on their side.

They were likely to suffer casualties today. It would be better for him to call the goblins and settle in this place.

Thinking this, he was about to turn around when he suddenly had an idea.

"The goblins are good at learning, but their knowledge is limited.

Even if I only train a dozen of them, it would still take a lot of time.

However, if I let these humans teach the goblins, the efficiency would greatly increase.

Moreover, these humans have various professions, unlike myself who can only teach them to be warriors."

With this thought, Goburo looked again towards the humans.

They were now covered in wounds and exhausted, barely holding on.

They were on the verge of casualties.

Seeing this critical situation, Goburo immediately rushed out. He couldn't allow this to happen.

These humans would become instructors within his territory, and they were his precious treasures.

The crocodiles, which were attacking the human team, suddenly froze in place, not daring to move anymore.

Confused by the crocodiles' sudden behavior, the team watched as the priest sat down on the ground in fear, staring ahead. "Vivi, what's wrong?" asked the mage next to her, concerned.

But the priest didn't respond. She just looked at the towering green beast in front of her with terror.

The others followed her gaze and saw the nearly three-meter-tall creature.

They all had similar reactions, feeling that they would surely meet their end today.

However, the actions of the green beast were far from what they had imagined. It stood there unarmed and didn't attack any of them.
