Adventurer, did you revive today by watching the ads too?

"The muscular goblins have some really peculiar tastes," Hua Zhen said, clasping his hands together. "I rejoice and admire them."

"I heard that the habits of mutants also change, and it seems to be true," Tia said with a click of her tongue. "I feel much less angry now. I thought those green-skinned bastards were coming for me."

Tia seemed to be in a great mood.

A moment later.

The sounds coming from the cave gradually changed.

The painful wails gradually transformed into joyful and selfless shouts.

Hua Zhen and Tia Ge's expressions gradually became more interesting.

What's going on?

"If I keep listening, my ears will be ruined," Tia said. "That bastard blocked the cage entrance, and I wasn't sure I could activate time stop."

Hua Zhen carefully observed the surrounding environment, then turned her gaze toward the Goblin Queen.

"Hey, wanna make some extra money?"

"Brother, what time is it? You're still thinking about making money?" Tia's eyes widened. "Think about how to save your life first!"

After a two-second silence, Tia nudged Hua Zhen with her elbow in a sneaky manner.

"Tell me more about it, what is it? How much profit can you make?"

"Let's kill the Goblin Queen," Hua Zhen replied.

"Screw you!" Tia suddenly increased the force of her elbow strike on Hua Zhen. "That bastard Akuri is almost crippled, now I'm not at the bottom anymore, you know!"

Hua Zhen pointed to a circular opening about thirty meters behind him.

"We're in the main chamber," he said. "When you look out from that cave over there, doesn't it look familiar?"

Tia Ge was slightly taken aback. She turned her head and looked in the direction Hua Zhen was pointing.

Previously, the chaotic scene of the goblins running amok had been too frenzied to notice what was happening behind them. Indeed, as Hua Zhen said, the circular opening looked somewhat familiar, and looking out of the opening, they could see a hemp rope hanging down naturally.

"That rope...could it be...?"

“That’s right,” Hua Zhen said. “That’s the cave we first came from, and that rope is the one we used to hang the cage.”

"So, this is our escape route?" Tia pouted. "But it's still pretty useless until we get the key, and besides, what does it have to do with the Goblin Queen?"

"Take another look?"

Tia squinted as she observed.

Near the cave entrance, she saw a bunch of dark things, the outline of which looked a bit like... a backpack?

"Those are our things!" Tia exclaimed in realization. "We've taken care of the goblins in the cave below, and the muscle goblins don't do the chores, so our equipment was left there!"

"That's right," Hua Zhen nodded. "I have bouncing bombs in my backpack. They're very powerful bombs. Just throw a few at those goblins when they're all grouped together, and everything will be fine. Then we can figure out how to come back and get the loot."

Throwing a few grenades into a goblin pile, the sight of flesh and blood flying everywhere is thrilling just to think about.

Hua Zhen couldn't help but smile.

Goblin Queens are very valuable, and many scholars have been working to eliminate this disgusting race of goblins. If they could start with the females of this race, they could at least greatly reduce the number of mutated goblins, if not completely eradicate them.

"That's amazing?" Tia asked. "Then why didn't you use it at first?"

"That little brat didn't give me a chance either. You have no idea how fast she ran. Besides, if I had used her, you would have died inside too."

"Okay... So, how are we going to get the backpack? Should we wait for the goblins to open the cage again? They're dry now, so they'll probably be looking for a good meal soon. Maybe then we'll be dismembered."

Hua Zhen didn't say anything, but pointed forward.

In Tia's view, all she could see was a group of goblins swaying their hips in an ugly manner.

She sighed.

"Sigh... Brother, I think you're too repressed. Even if you can't afford a succubus, the brothels on Round Corner Street sell erotic magazines and video crystal balls. Why bother?"

"Tia, you idiot! What does sexual repression have to do with escaping the cage?!" Hua Zhen's expert act immediately crumbled. "Look closely at the person and dog on the stone platform!"

Tia was somewhat unconvinced, but she didn't argue with Hua Zhen. She smacked her lips and obediently did as she was told.

The silver-haired girl and the hyena on the stone platform had almost finished eating the meat.

The female hyena ate all of its meat, but some meat was left on the girl's side, the kind that didn't look very appetizing.

The girl and the dog snuggled together contentedly. The female hyena carefully licked the girl's tangled hair with her tongue. Just watching it gave people the feeling of a mother combing her daughter's hair, full of maternal love. However, this kind of maternal love seemed to have a problem with the species.

But what does that have to do with escaping the cage?

Just as she took a deep breath, preparing to tell Hua Zhen to stop keeping her in suspense.

In a cave not far away, a tall, swaying figure gradually appeared, walking straight toward them.

That's Akuri.

To be precise... it's a muscle goblin and Akuri.

Akuri clung to the muscular goblin like a pendant, his legs spread wide apart. His finely crafted and expensive clothes were tattered, sweat clung to his hair, and his face had a strange blush.

The muscular goblin, carrying Akuri, approached the cage a few meters away. Akuri held a small key and gently shook it, his expression alluring, as if he were about to toss it over.

Hua Zhen and Tia Ge instantly tensed up, their expressions solemn as if they were old monks in meditation.

Putting aside Akuri's appearance, which was a fusion of muscular goblin armor... although neither of them really wanted to know what had happened in the cave.

But judging from the current situation...

Is this guy with the key coming to rescue someone?

"Hehehe..." Akuri chuckled softly, his voice inexplicably becoming high-pitched. "Gentlemen, would you like the key?"

Before Hua Zhen and Tia Ge could speak, Akuri tilted his head back, put the key in his mouth, and then moved his throat.

"Hehe, now you're completely finished," Akuri laughed, but his eyes revealed a sinister glint. "What's the use of stopping time if you can't leave the cage? Can it prolong your death by even a minute?"

"I don't understand," Hua Zhen couldn't help but say. "You hate us so much because of what happened in the cage just now. Don't you know that was your fault?"

"What did I do wrong!"

Hua Zhen's words seemed to touch a nerve with Akuri.

He started screaming hysterically.

"Why should I get scolded! Just because I like Dad's smelly socks and watching goblin parties? I like the smell, I like the look, so what? I just want to be myself!"

"None of us said you liked watching goblins have sex parties, didn't you just blurt that out a little too quickly?"

"You worthless dog, you think you can provoke me?" Akuri sneered, looking at Tiague. "See this muscular goblin beneath me? It's the only powerful male that can still stand after experiencing my innate, masterful Crazy Pendulum Technique. Can you do that?"

"Oh, congratulations! You're free to leave now," Tia said, her face expressionless. "You're truly in a class of your own for conquering a muscle goblin."

"Of course, how can your vulgar women's bodies compare to my exquisite form?" Akuri suddenly bent his legs back, hooking them tightly around the muscular goblin's waist. "And I don't plan to leave here, because... I've awakened the femininity within me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the muscular goblin seemed to lose his balance and staggered.

This sudden jolt, whether it was arousing Akuri or not, caused his body to tremble violently, his face filled with ecstasy.

"--ah!"

Hua Zhen and Tia Ge closed their eyes and calmly held their breath.

"What's with those laughing faces you guys have?!" Akuri roared. "Are you trying to make fun of me?!"

However, he quickly calmed down, listlessly sucking his little finger and looking towards the Goblin Queen.

"Forget it, you'll all die soon anyway. As for how you'll be treated before you die, I'll have a good look at it. Sigh, this muscular goblin under me doesn't seem to be able to hold on much longer. I'd better go find some fun over there."

After saying that, the muscle goblin could no longer hold on and collapsed with a thud.

Akuri fell from above and seemed a bit exhausted, but he still stubbornly crawled towards that direction with his butt sticking out.

From Hua Zhen and Tia Ge's perspective...

Holy crap, a black hole!

"Hey!" Hua Zhen shouted through the cage, "If you want to live, don't stay there later!"

Akuri didn't even turn his head, but instead gave the middle finger.

"Sigh," Hua Zhen sighed, taking out a letter of authorization from his pocket, "It seems his old father won't be able to fulfill his wish."

In the message left by the client, he repeatedly emphasized that he must bring his son back safely so that he could have another boy to carry on the family line.

"This guy is hopeless," Tia said. "By the way, is it the estradiol you fed him that's making him work?"

"No way, I only secretly released it once before I left, how could it have this effect?" Hua Zhen shrugged. "That's just his nature, admit it. Now it's time to get down to business."

As she spoke, Hua Zhen took off her pants.

"Holy crap!" Tia's eyes widened. "You still say you're not repressed? Did you resonate with Akuri? Because your desire got the better of you, you're planning to have sex with me, right?"

Why does Tia's mouth smell so bad?!

"Stop spouting nonsense," Hua Zhen said. "I was planning to pull out the rubber band from my underwear and make a slingshot to shoot that hyena!"

"What's the use of this? Can it help us open the cage?"

“Yes!” Hua Zhen said, “If I hit that hyena, it will be enraged, and once it gets close, we can catch it. Given the bond between this eccentric mother and daughter, the silver-haired girl won’t stand idly by. Her speed and strength are beyond that of ordinary people, so opening the cage will be a piece of cake.”

"She'll definitely come here to kill us, won't she?"

"That's right, so when she violently breaks through the cage, that's when you should activate your ability."

"Child, your idea is good, but how are we going to get rid of her then?"

"Leave the silver-haired girl to me, I have a plan," Hua Zhen said. "You just need to take the opportunity to get the bouncy bomb from my backpack and blow up those goblins. There's a button on the bomb, so remember to press it before throwing it."

"You're really greedy, aren't you? Even at a time like this, you still want to kill goblins..." Tia sighed.

"The Goblin Queen's bounty is one reason, but more importantly, these goblins won't let us go, so we have to strike first."

"Easy for you to say. Just because the goblins won't let us go doesn't mean that silver-haired pregnant woman will."

"They'll most likely let her go," Hua Zhen said. "Haven't you realized? They're not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but a patron-servant one. The goblins rely on that little girl to hunt monsters, which has led to behaviors similar to primitive sacrificial rituals. And that girl doesn't really care about the goblins, because the hyena had already killed one, and she wasn't bothered at all. From beginning to end, the only thing she cared about was that female hyena!"

Tia thought about it carefully and realized that it seemed to be true what Hua Zhen had said.

"Damn it, Gan!" she exclaimed excitedly. "You're a genius!"

"Alright, stop bragging and come help me," Hua Zhen said, sweat beading on his forehead. "Help me tear my underwear."

Tia's gaze moved downwards.

Hua Zhen was tearing at the SpongeBob SquarePants ice silk boxer shorts with all her might, her veins bulging, but the underwear remained unmoved.

"What kind of underwear is this? It's so ugly and yellowish!"

"Don't insult SpongeBob!"

At this point, Tia couldn't care less about anything else. She snatched SpongeBob from Hua Zhen's hands and suddenly exerted her strength.

"ah--!"

Under the girl's strong grip, the underwear was safe and sound, and happiness followed.

"What kind of rubbish underwear is this?" Tia was dumbfounded. "Is the quality this good?"

Hua Zhen felt a little embarrassed.

He transmigrated into a physical body, so naturally his underwear was also on him.

He bought these underwear for over 120 yuan on Taobao.

Although it's expensive, it never gets ripped; the quality is top-notch.

These are practically every college boy's dream pair of underwear.

"Um," Hua Zhen looked at Tia Ge, "if all else fails, we can use yours..."

"Get lost," Tia said disdainfully, pulling out a small throwing knife. "Want to see my beta? Why don't I just cut your underwear open with this knife?"

"Cut off the waistband, but don't cut anywhere else," Hua Zhen said, feeling a pang of heartache. "These underwear are expensive. I can always stuff a shoelace inside and still use them..."

"Tsk, what a nuisance. What's wrong with a stingy man?"

"What? If you're so capable, show me your own underwear and say something!"

Just as the two were acting foolishly, suddenly...

"Smack."

There was a soft sound of something hitting the ground.

Hua Zhen and Tia Ge both looked in that direction at the same time.

The female hyena had somehow appeared in front of the cage and placed a large piece of raw meat in front of them. Her tongue lolled out, and her eyes seemed to hold a pleading look.
