Lu An and his team standing in front of the cave. The cave was enormous, nine meters tall and around twelve meters wide. From inside the cave, he could feel a cold wind blow his face. His vision was limited up to fifteen meters ahead.
The young Lu An scanned the mouth cave, and he found footprints on the ground. Each of the footprints was small in size, at least much smaller than the one to human's.
"It seems we teleported right in front of the goblin cave!" Lu An opened his mouth while turning back to his team.
"How do you know, Captain?" A man in his late thirties approached and asked Lu An. Hu Feng was curious as to how this young man could tell the cave was the goblin cave.
Lu An pointed at the footprints on the ground, "These are the goblin's footprints!" Hu Feng followed the finger to see the messy footprints on the ground. Lu An came closer to the man and whispered, "Just call me by name, Uncle Feng," His cheeks turned red as he said those words.
Lu An was embarrassed to be called Captain by someone much older than him. On top of that, he was not used to being called like that. It was cringe for him.
"I can't! If Boss knows, I will be scolded for sure," Hu Feng shook his head with a smile before he whispered something to the young man, "Moreover, you have to get used to this," he tapped Lu An's shoulder to encourage the young man.
Lu An nodded helplessly as he did not insist on Hu Feng to drop the formality between them. He looked at his team and shouted, "Get ready! We will be entering the cave shortly!"
"C-captain Lu An!" A young guy that was about the same age as Lu An raised his hand, "Yes! What is it?" The Captain asked the young guy back.
"Shouldn't we look for The Shaman instead?" The young guy, Li Ru asked Lu An. He was trying to remind Lu An to look for The Shaman instead of clearing the goblin cave.
The reason was that Li Ru did not want to enter the creepy cave. Inside was so dark and cold with the monsters inside, it made him not want to enter the cave. It seemed everyone else had the same fear toward the cave as they looked at Lu An hopefully.
"We should look for The Shaman," Lu An nodded his head in agreement. Li Ru and the other slaves were relieved until the next words came from Lu An's mouth, "What do you think Boss would ask for if he is here? He would order us to clear the side objective too, so we are going to clear this goblin cave before we look for The Shaman!"
Hu Feng completely agreed with the young guy. If Tang Shaoyang was here, he without a doubt would lead them inside to kill the monsters inside. Even though the cave was not the objective, if there were monsters for them to kill, their Boss would send them over.

"Huff... Huff... Huff..." Kang Xue breathed heavily. It had been ten minutes but she failed even to kill one of the remaining three Rabbidogs.
"It seems the first one was a lucky shot," Tang Shaoyang handled the remaining three Rabbidogs. He cut their feet and placed them in front of Kang Xue, "You kill them!" She failed to kill the Rabbidogs not because she was too afraid or anything else, it was because of the level gap between her and the beast.
"I am sorry..." Kang Xue muttered in a low voice. She did not ask him to be spoiled like this, but she was too helpless.
"This is good news, even the monsters inside are goblins, they are not the Death Scythe," he concluded after seeing the torch on the wall.
"Why so?" Li Na asked in a small voice, she was curious why he concluded easily by seeing torches.
"Death Scythe does not need light! They should be happy staying in the darkness, why bother to use torches? Unless this is not a goblin but other monsters," he replied calmly.
As they got deeper, they found more torches on the wall. Tang Shaoyang was getting more convinced that if it was a goblin nest, they should not be Death Scythe.
After five minutes of walking, the cave forked into two different paths with a big torch in the middle. One toward the left while the other one to the right.
Tang Shaoyang was about to check both ways until he heard footsteps. It was irregular footsteps that sounded so clear to the ears. Even without his words, Zhang Mengyao and the others subconsciously halted their steps.
He walked slowly to the wall and peeked at the voice, the voice came from the left path. On the left path, he saw a group of goblins. As for why he could tell them were a goblin because they had the same appearance as the Dark Goblin.
However, this one had green skin and they brought random tools as their weapon. The five goblins were armed differently, one with a hoe, one with a pickaxe, one with a wood ax, one with a rusted sword, and one with a spear with stone as the spearhead.
This group of goblins was heading toward his direction, about fifteen meters away from the fork.

"Huh!?" A gasp of surprise came from Tang Shaoyang's mouth as confusion filled his face. Then he activated [Basic Detection] skill to the other goblins. Then he found out that the goblin was truly weak, much weaker compared to the Dark Goblin.
Stage-1 Evolution, level 21, with a strip on the skill which meant the goblin did not have a skill.
"So the normal goblin is weak..." He muttered in a low voice as he turned toward Kang Xue. He smiled at her, a smile that made the girl uncomfortable, "I have found the right opponent for you!"
