Chapter 44 - 44- 044 Add some spirit
Inside the instance!
Goblin Strong Bear, leading Dean McKenzie through the forest.
Goblin Strong Bear was leading, with Dean McKenzie sitting on a wooden stake carried by Doggy Two and Doggy Three behind him.
“Boss, the forest we are in has a total of seven Goblin Tribes.
The strength of these seven Goblin Tribes is comparable.
The smallest has more than two hundred Goblins, and the largest has more than five hundred.
In total, there should be two to three thousand Goblins.”
The leading Goblin Strong Bear was clearing the way and was also reporting back to Dean McKenzie.
Looking at the back of the female Goblin, Dean McKenzie was quite satisfied.
Since he threatened her with Bone Fang earlier, although this female Goblin still looked atrocious, she was no longer as pretentious as before.
What pleased Dean McKenzie even more was that this Goblin really knew the surrounding environment quite well.
She was very familiar with all sorts of situations.
And after she gave up her infatuation, she displayed an unusually high intellectual capacity.
“You asked about the Goblin tribes because you want to unify all the Goblin tribes in the forest, right?
This has been your and the Elder’s dream!”
“Yes!”
Dean McKenzie nodded, his Skeleton Wand sweeping away the branches around him: “Do you have any suggestions?”
“There should be no problem at all for you to subjugate all the Goblin tribes in
the forest.
As long as you visit these tribes once, they will all bow at your feet.
But I would not recommend you to go and subjugate these tribes right now!”
“Oh, do tell!”
“In this forest we live in, we Goblins are at the very bottom of the hierarchy.
Whether it’s a water source or food, they are all leftover from other forces’ distribution.
That’s why there are seven Goblin Tribes, scattering and living in the corners
of the forest.
If you gather all the Goblin tribes under your command…”
“With the expansion of the Goblin Tribes, other forces’ territories would inevitably be squeezed, resulting in an unavoidable war, right?
“Yes!”
“Then tell me, what kind of forces are there in this forest!”
“In the eastern part of the forest, by the river, a Swiftwind Wolf Pack resides; in the south, where fruit trees are most abundant, Earth-armored Hogs dwell;
and at the very center of the forest, resides a territory of Strong Bears.”
Goblin Strong Bear named the current three forces in the forest one by one.
Upon hearing that these three so-called forces were wild beasts or demonic beasts, Dean McKenzie’s eyes brightened instantly.
He was afraid they would be some kind of humans.
After all, according to the nature of this instance, if humans appeared, they would certainly not be soulless dummies.
So, it was more suitable if these were demonic beasts, as there wouldn’t be any mental burden for Dean McKenzie to kill them.
“Where are we now?”
“East of the forest!”
“Then lead me to the territory of the Swiftwind Wolf Pack for a look!”
“Now? Boss, that wolf pack is dangerous, wouldn’t it be better if I…
“Are you questioning me?”
Dean McKenzie’s eyes swung to the side, and the female Goblin instantly closed her mouth.
“Yes!”
Soon after, under Strong Bear’s guidance, Dean McKenzie was heading towards the eastern river of the forest.
Throughout the journey, Strong Bear did not try to dissuade Dean McKenzie but tried her best to accomplish the task assigned by him.
She led Dean McKenzie cautiously closer to the eastern river of the forest, and in a spot with a relatively high terrain and wide view, she found the Swiftwind wolves for him.
The performance of this journey made Dean McKenzie see her in a new light.
One could say that from the perspective of being a subordinate, this female Goblin was an impeccable existence.
“Done well!”
Dean McKenzie was not stingy with his praise.
After patting Strong Bear on her shoulder as encouragement, his gaze fell on the Swiftwind Wolf Pack not far away.
Dean McKenzie noticed that the Swiftwind Wolf Pack in sight was likely a small unit as there were only about twenty or thirty of them.
Dean scanned them, his Appraisal Skill immediately activated.
[You successfully used the [Appraisal Skill], you gained the attributes of the [Swiftwind Wolf]! ]
Name: Swiftwind Wolf
Template: Normal
Level: Level 18
Attributes:
Strength: 3, Agility: 4, Physique: 3, Spirit: 5
Skills: Wind Blade (Level 1)
Swiftwind Assault (Level 1)
Upon seeing these attributes, Dean couldn’t help but be startled.
“These monsters are capable of magic!
And even standard monsters tout a whopping 5 points of Spirit?
Seems like my Spirit boost is within grasp!
Hey, over here!”
With that, Dean clapped his hands and shouted.
At Dean’s shout, the Swiftwind Wolves were immediately drawn to his attention.
Wolves, no, virtually all outdoor species in this world, over ninety percent of them, have a strong sense of territory.
Once someone dares to invade their territory, they will retaliate fiercely. As soon as Dean made a sound, the Swiftwind Wolves turned, their eyes instantly turning red.
Twenty or thirty Swiftwind Wolves charged towards Dean and his party.
Dean noticed from the wolves’ charge that they seemed to possess some intelligence; their charge wasn’t a mindless attack.
It was somewhat tactical.
Taking on packaging tactics, they ensured the formation provided no chance for escape before launching an attack.
But it served no purpose under the overwhelming strength of Dean’s party.
All strategies were fruitless.
Dean didn’t even need to lift a finger; just casting [Bone Shield] was enough for Doggy Two and Doggy Three to resolve the fight.
Summing it up, the wolves circled in, only to be disrupted by Doggy Two and Doggy Three.
In less than a minute, out of the thirty Swiftwind Wolves, only a few escaped, leaving behind about twenty bodies.
Dean only acted once during the entire encounter, and that was when the large Swiftwind Wolf at the head tried to flee.
Dean launched a 65-metre long-range Bone Fang, blasting it away.

[Your Spirit rating rose to 22.1, and your maximum Mana increased to 221!] [You spent 4 Silver Coins to increase Doggy Two’s Strength by 2, bringing his Strength to 17.7!]
After that wave of attack, Dean experienced a surge in his attributes.
Dean was very pleased.
“If everything goes as planned, I can increase my Spirit by another 10 points.. If I take down this Swiftwind Wolf Pack, my Spiritual Power should be able to reach 32!”
