This adventurer is overly righteous.

Once the village had completely disappeared from Kroya's sight, Kroya stopped and took out all the miscellaneous items from his backpack, discarding them to avoid slowing him down.

This little thing is necessary to avoid anyone targeting Perez, even if it will cause Croa a little trouble.

......

Kroya glanced briefly at the lower left corner of his vision. There were quite a few lines of small text, but the improvement wasn't significant, since the whole matter wasn't particularly difficult for Kroya.

"Now it's time to get down to business."

Kroya sighed. The heavy rain had indeed delayed him for quite some time, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace and head towards the goblin main camp that his inexplicable senses pointed to. On the way, he encountered a large river with a rapid and dangerous current, so he had to detour.

Finally, Croa stopped at the foot of a cliff, where no matter the angle from which the sun shone, there would always be a large shadow at the foot of the cliff, enough to cover the cracks and small holes in the rock face.

This did indeed seem like a suitable place for goblins to build a secret cave, and Kroya's intuition also pointed him to that shadowy area.

So Kroya began to prepare to apply a powder to his body to mask his own scent. In the murky, stagnant cave, Kroya's human scent would cause him trouble, something he had often done in the past. However, when Kroya opened the small package he had specially prepared to store the powder, he found that it had partially clumped together because it had gotten wet, presumably due to the heavy rain.

The medicine powder, which was originally white, turned yellowish after being moistened with water, making it look like a substandard product. It's unclear how much of its efficacy it still retains.

Kroya wasn't going to gamble on whether the powder's effectiveness had been affected, because he now realized that there might be some unknown danger lurking in the cave.

He was quite certain that with the Adventurers' Guild's intelligence capabilities, they would definitely be able to find this place very quickly. Although it was indeed hidden, it would be wishful thinking to think that it could be hidden from the Adventurers' Guild's spies and scouts.

However, the reality is that the Adventurers' Guild seems completely unaware of this place, which is quite strange.

There might be something dangerous inside, which is why the explorers who went in lost their lives and were unable to send out any information.

A monster that coexists with goblins?

Kroya guessed that perhaps the goblins had joined forces with other underground monsters, greatly increasing the danger, as recorded in the books, such as cave spiders or terrifying orcs.

If it were an ordinary goblin lair, Kroya wouldn't need to be overly cautious, but faced with this strange main lair, Kroya would only dare to explore it after being fully prepared, even though the Goddess of Death told him she would return safely.

"That's enough."

Kroya shook his head and took out the horn.

Perhaps it could attract adventurers who are hunting him down to come and find out what's going on.

According to the information from the two adventurers, there were fifteen people who wanted to kill him, all of whom were veteran adventurers, and there was even an elite adventurer. Such a lineup was extremely powerful and could easily wipe out even a super-large nest with hundreds of goblins.

Kroya's goal was simply to eliminate this entire main lair; as long as it could be completely eradicated, he didn't care who did it.

So Kroya blew the horn, and the sharp cry of a falcon pierced the sky and carried far away. A moment later, another falcon cry with a similar tone came from afar. Kroya guessed that they were coming toward his location, so he continued to blow the horn according to the code given by the two adventurers.

Three long blows signify that one is tracking prey.

Kroya found a place to hide, while continuing to respond with his horn.

Soon, panting adventurers came running from afar. They gradually gathered together and seemed to be discussing something from a distance. Soon, someone discovered the mark that Kroya had deliberately left behind, and thus found the entrance to a cave.

"I think they must have run into this cave..."

The adventurers exchanged glances and looked at the scarred adventurer at the head of the group. As the leader, he was responsible for making all the decisions.

"No monster can withstand a team like ours." Henry pondered for a moment, then said, "We won't encounter any danger inside the cave. The horn's sound faded away in the vicinity. That kid may have already killed our companions and escaped, or he may still be hiding down there. I think it's feasible to go in and explore."

Powerful magical beasts are rarely seen within the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands; they are usually found only in border areas, such as the Misty Forest.

Even if some monster is lurking in this cave, it will only become their spoils.

So the adventurers lit a fire on the spot, lit torches, and called out to the inside, hoping their companions might still be there. But all they received in response was a terrifying silence and darkness, and the cowards among them couldn't help but swallow hard.

"What?" one of his companions teased. "Are you afraid of the dark?"

"No, it's just that I feel... a little uncomfortable..."

It felt as if something was gripping my heart, making me feel uneasy, but no one knew where this discomfort came from.

A moment later, the adventurers were ready. Holding torches, they formed small teams of two and walked side by side, entering the cave one by one. Kroya watched them from a distance, the sight of them like a caterpillar slowly burrowing into the humus.

"I wish them good luck."

Croa said sincerely that he had achieved his initial goal by getting up from the back of a rock.

However, he hoped that they would both be severely injured, that all the goblins would be killed, and that they themselves would suffer as a result.

However, returning to Whitestone Town was a bit too early. Kroya planned to stay in the wild for a while longer to assess the situation. Besides, goblin colonies still existed in the wilderness, though they were much sparser than before. Kroya knew of a few hunters nearby who also knew how to make scent-masking powders, and he could buy some from them.
