At that moment, the thirty or so goblins suddenly moved apart, forming two lines on both sides of the cave.
From the darkness between them, a figure slowly stepped forward.
It was a goblin holding a bone staff.
The creature wore a tattered red robe that dragged across the stone floor. At the tip of its staff burned a strange pink flame that flickered like a living thing, casting eerie shadows along the cave walls.
It looked sinister. Almost unnatural.
A faint system panel appeared before their eyes.
Name: Goblin High Priest
Level: LV25
Strength: 568
Constitution: 121
Agility: 32
Spirit: 931
Skills: Indulgence, Multiplication, Enhancement, Summoning
Description: A Goblin High Priest born from the Abyss. It possesses powerful magic and an unusual obsession with human girls.
The moment the three of them saw the panel, their faces turned pale.
True despair had finally arrived.
Yet strangely enough, Lian Yunxi suddenly spoke with a hint of surprise.
"Wait... this Goblin High Priest is not two or three meters tall like the legends say. It is actually pretty short."
Liu Ningning immediately glared at her.
"Is that really the most important thing to notice right now?"
Lian Yunxi scratched her cheek awkwardly.
"What I mean is... if it is not that tall, maybe it would not hurt as much."
Just then, the Goblin High Priest lifted its head and revealed an extremely vulgar grin toward the two girls.
Its red robe fluttered slightly.
A six eyed crow suddenly flew into the cave, circling in the air as if searching for a place to land.
After a moment, it settled beneath the Goblin High Priest.
The crow perched there as if standing on a thick branch.
The moment the two girls saw this scene, they froze completely.
Their eyes widened with shock and terror.
"That... that does not make sense."
"The proportions are completely wrong!"
The two girls clung to each other, trembling.
Now it truly felt like the end.
No one could save them.
Tears filled Lian Yunxi's eyes as she looked toward Wang Chen.
"It is our fault for dragging you into this. If you had not tried to save us, you would not be trapped here suffering with us."
Liu Qiang lowered his head in guilt.
"I am sorry, Brother Chen. I dragged you down too."
At that moment, the three of them had already mentally prepared themselves for the worst.
Lian Yunxi tried to comfort Ningning in a trembling voice.
"It is okay. Even if it is big... we just have to endure it."
The two girls held each other tightly.
They had spent nearly an entire day and night inside this terrifying cave. Their mental defenses had long collapsed.
Meanwhile, Liu Qiang looked toward the distant female goblins with a strange expression.
There was fear in his eyes.
But also a tiny bit of curiosity.
He muttered under his breath.
"If we cannot win... maybe we should just try to enjoy it."
Wang Chen stared at the three of them in silence.
Then he sighed.
"It is only a few goblins. Why are you all so scared?"
He gestured casually toward the monsters.
"Just kill them. After that, remember to finish them off so you can get the experience."
The three of them froze.
"You want us... to finish them off?"
Lian Yunxi and Liu Ningning looked completely stunned.
They genuinely could not understand what Wang Chen was saying.
"Brother, that thing is a level twenty five Goblin High Priest," Lian Yunxi said helplessly. "Maybe you should listen to yourself for a second."
She was beginning to think Wang Chen had lost his mind.
Even Liu Qiang could not hold back.
"Brother Chen, I know you like showing off... but maybe now is not the time. This is not the kind of show off we can handle."
He pointed toward the goblins ahead.
"Look at them. Those things are built like fitness coaches. Level twenty enhanced goblins. One of them could grab both of us with one hand and smash us into the ground."
The Goblin High Priest seemed to sense Wang Chen's mocking attitude.
Anger immediately flared in its eyes.
It had hidden inside this cave for years.
After countless efforts, it had finally reached level twenty five.
It had summoned all these powerful enhanced goblins just to make a grand entrance.
To crush these humans completely.
But the young man in front of it was not afraid.
In fact, he was smiling.
A mocking smile.
Unforgivable.
The Goblin High Priest raised its bone staff and waved it forward.
Light exploded across the cave floor.
One red magic circle after another appeared, spinning rapidly as ancient runes ignited across the ground.
Roars echoed through the cavern.
One after another, massive goblins climbed out of the magic circles.
Ten more.
Each one larger and stronger than the last.
The cave was nearly too small to contain them all.
Now, including the High Priest, more than forty enhanced goblins filled the cavern.
All of them above level twenty.
Liu Qiang felt his legs turn weak.
They were completely surrounded.
Wang Chen, however, simply smiled.
"So you want to compete with summons?"
His lips curved upward slightly.
Liu Qiang blinked in confusion.
"Wait... Brother Chen."
He stared at Wang Chen with disbelief.
"You mean... you have summons too?"
Wang Chen did not answer.
He simply looked toward the army of goblins ahead.
Liu Qiang suddenly leaned closer and whispered.
"You are not planning to... you know... produce an army of children on the spot and attack them with that, right?"
The two girls instantly turned red and shot him an annoyed glare.
But Wang Chen only laughed softly.
Then he slowly raised his hand.
And the air inside the cave suddenly began to vibrate.
Because in the next second, something far more terrifying than forty goblins was about to appear.
