Chapter 19: Hobgoblin

Upon seeing Argon, the hobgoblin immediately kneeled down.

"Greetings, my Lord."

"Rise... For now, you will be managing the tribe."

"I will not disappoint you, my Lord."

Argon didn't linger any longer; he teleported outside.

Considering he only had a hundred soul coins, he believed he did a pretty good job. However, it bothered him a little that the realm of his monsters jumped from the seventh stage of body tempering to the building base realm. He would have to fill in the gaps once he obtained more soul coins.

For some reason, he had a feeling that something would happen tomorrow.

Especially when he noticed humans monitoring his dungeon from outside. Those humans were dressed far better than the villagers, indicating they were likely from towns or cities. It was better to be prepared.

"System, when will I have a physical body? Although I appreciate this ghost body since it requires nothing to survive, I still want to grow stronger on my own."

Moreover, if his dungeon were to be cleared out by a powerful cultivator, he would have to accept defeat unless he personally defended it. Of course, that wouldn't happen because he planned to ascend to the top of the pyramid.

After all, who wouldn't want to become a cultivator? That had always been his dream when he was still on Earth.

[The host only needs 1000 soul coins, and the system will assist in constructing a body.]

"That's easier said than done," Argon sighed.

For now, he could only wait for tomorrow to come. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to bother the goblins and teleported back to them.

Early in the morning, sunlight illuminated the three groups of people traveling harmoniously. Each group consisted of five hundred members. Furthermore, they made no effort to conceal their presence, attracting numerous vagabond cultivators who joined them.

In total, there were at least one thousand seven hundred people, including the vagabond cultivators. This development terrified some of the small forces in Waydale City.

Who wouldn't be scared? The top three forces in Waydale City deployed their forces as if they were going to war.

However, the small forces breathed a sigh of relief when they saw all three forces leaving the city.

These small forces dispatched their subordinates to follow them.

The three forces didn't conceal their movements because they wanted to attract more people to join. Earlier, each force had received a report that had shaken them—an account of a place where one's cultivation could increase by killing the monsters inside.
