Pfft!
However... The Blue-Cap Goblin next to him, who was in the middle of a riding position, had barely finished laughing when its pupils suddenly shrank.
It looked down at its chest and saw a sword piercing out from the female goblin's body and through its own chest.
Its heart felt cold, and it couldn't understand what was happening.
But, before it could react, it had already died on top of the female.
The other goblins thought nothing of it.
After all, everyone was busy at the moment and had no time to care about what the other goblins were doing.

Inside the defense hall, the various noises gradually disappeared.
At first, the Orange-Cap Goblins on patrol didn't think anything was wrong.
But the moment they realized things seemed a little too quiet, a thin sword would suddenly appear at their necks and kill them directly.
Most of the goblins didn't even realize what had happened to them before they died.

Whistle~
'It is the Lord's whistle.'
After hearing Ethan's whistle, the birdfolk immediately transformed their arms into wings and quickly flew into the defense hall.
Bird Three carefully patrolled the entire defense hall once more. Only after confirming that there were no survivors did she land in front of the Lord and ask, "Lord, did you kill all of these by yourself?"
"Do you see anyone else here?", Ethan asked back.
"Lord, you're amazing!"
Then, the four of them began collecting the loot.
The corpses of the Yellow-Cap Goblins from earlier had also been dismantled and collected by Ethan and the birdfolk group along the way.
But there wasn't much worth taking from Yellow-Cap Goblins.
Other than their yellow worker hats and spiked clubs, they didn't have anything valuable.
As for goblin meat, since Ethan no longer lacked meat of any kind, he wasn't interested in the meat of these humanoid monsters.
Of course, the main reason was that it tasted awful.
Ethan had eaten goblin meat dumplings made by Cook Four before. They tasted sour and had a fishy smell.
So Ethan didn't plan on taking any goblin meat.
Wouldn't it be better to save backpack space for something else?
After all, this was the entire Goblin Maze.
Ethan refused to believe there wasn't anything good hidden here.
"Let's keep moving."
After dealing with the goblins in the defense hall, Ethan continued through the passage on the other side.
There were still quite a few goblin guards along the way, but they were scattered in small groups.
Ethan killed as he walked.
Most of the goblins became experience points for Ghost Sword Style before they even knew what was happening.
The cave was extremely long.
Along the way, Ethan noticed many signs of artificial construction.
In some special areas of the cave, there would be a large stone chamber.
Sometimes there were even two or three connected together.
Inside these chambers, there were not only walls built from stone bricks, but also ancient murals on the ceilings.
Because of their age, the murals had become very blurry.
It was impossible to tell what they originally depicted.
Only rough outlines and large patches of badly faded color remained.
'Is this an underground palace from the original Earth?'
'It really does look like one.'
[System Prompt: In the stone chamber ahead is a stone coffin. Inside it is a statue of Medusa. It is said that anyone who looks into Medusa's eyes will instantly turn to stone, so please be extremely careful.]
[P.S.: In this place where danger and opportunity exist together, there is also a Platinum Treasure Chest hidden beside the statue of Medusa.]
'A statue of Medusa?'
'There are actually myths and legends from the original Earth here?'
'But judging from the prompt, this seems to be only a statue.'
'There is no proof that it is the monster from Greek mythology.'
Of course...
There was another possibility.
This so-called statue of Medusa might simply be something created by an artistic mage.
For example, a mage who specialized in petrification magic, or magic that made things rigid and hard, could have given a statue a special effect.
That was entirely possible.
"Who are you people?"
"Who are you?"
The guards of this stone chamber were actually two Blue-Cap Goblins.
These two goblins were nearly two and a half meters tall.
Their bodies were extremely thick, making them nearly one and a half meters wide as well.
In short, they were huge.
The moment they spotted Ethan and the others, they immediately drew the spiked clubs from their waists and charged toward him cautiously.
After all, Ethan was an intruder who had passed through the defense hall and crossed the long passage to reach the entrance of the temple.
No matter how they looked at it, these intruders were clearly not ordinary.
So the two Blue-Cap Goblins did not underestimate Ethan in the slightest.
They even used all their strength, swinging their spiked clubs as they tried to eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible.
