At this point, only a small portion of the Zerg remained in the core area.

Most of the Zerg army returned to their original base camp.

However, while the Zerg army was searching for food and exploring their territory in the core area, a large number of goblins suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Gibberish...!"

"Gurgle gurgle la la la!...!"

"...!"

The nearby goblins all looked extremely angry.

Not only were there skinny goblins around one meter tall, but also many stronger goblin leaders, most of whom were over one and a half meters tall.

Whenever they encounter the Zerg, they relentlessly attack with their weapons.

Moreover, these goblins all seem to have a purpose.

When they encounter other weaker creatures, they don't attack them at all; they just specifically target insects and smash them...

These goblins couldn't quite distinguish Zhao Zian's Zerg army from the other Zerg.

They would smash any small insects they encountered.

In no time, the insects in the surrounding area were slaughtered, leaving a trail of blood.

The Zerg army immediately fled back to their base after being attacked.

These goblins are basically fighting other unrelated insects...

Zhao Zian was also a little confused at first, but he quickly realized that these goblins must have come for revenge.

Previously, when they were scrambling for monster corpses in the core area, many goblins and other creatures came to compete with the Zerg army for food.

Then, under Zhao Zian's command, several thousand goblins were wiped out by the Zerg army.

However, although several thousand goblins were defeated, their sheer numbers were undeniable.

They eventually scattered and fled. It was impossible for the Zerg army to wipe them all out, and a very few goblins managed to escape.

...

Zhao Zian touched his stubble that he hadn't groomed recently.

It seems these goblins have other groups of their own; the initial few thousand goblins were not their entire population.

Um……

Avoid war for now.

When the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy advances, we retreat.

There aren't many Zerg in the core area right now; most of them are in the initial nest area.

A direct confrontation is not advisable.

Fortunately, the Zerg nests are dug quite deep, so the goblins can't burrow underground to cause trouble for the Zerg army.

The insects they're currently fighting are basically unrelated to the Zerg army.

There are about 10,000 goblins this time, and there are many strong goblins among them, so a direct confrontation is definitely impossible.

However, these goblins don't always stay together.

Some goblins, after spotting insects in the distance, will run to attack them from afar.

They will eventually break away from the main force while fighting.

At this point, Zhao Zian showed absolutely no mercy to these lone goblins.

They simply outnumbered the enemy and ganged up on the lone goblin until it was killed.

Once they succeed, they immediately retreat to their lair...

For a time, these goblins not only posed no threat to the enemy, but also caused some casualties among their own forces...

The insects they killed were not Zhao Zian's insectoid army at all.

It was all cockroaches, beetles, and all sorts of other things...

Goblins aren't very bright; to them, all insects are pretty much the same.

In reality, many people cannot distinguish between different types of insects, let alone goblins.

After some time, the goblins returned home.

The goblins had vented their anger and were hungry after their rampage.

Zhao Zian then sent some flying ants to follow behind them.

He wanted to see where these goblins lived so he could easily cause trouble later.

Flying ants followed behind the goblins, who were rather oblivious and completely unaware that they were being followed.

Many of their lone goblin companions were killed by the Zerg army, but they didn't even know it. They were all as if they had won a battle, and their morale was high on the way back.

The flying ants followed behind the group, while the goblins chattered incessantly.

Zhao Zian was getting a little tired of listening, but thankfully they finally arrived at their destination.

The destination was a location deep in the forest, surrounded by a makeshift wooden fence made of broken branches and bones stuck in the ground, forming a dilapidated wall.

There were also some animal skulls and damaged pelts lying around, or hanging on the wooden fence.

The wall, made up of this pile of rubble, still has several gaps.

Each gap was covered with two pieces of broken wood.

With the addition of some wood and a few vines woven together, a very abstract wooden door was formed.

There were a few goblins standing nearby, acting as goalkeepers.

To be honest, at first glance, he did look quite presentable.

Looking at the goblin camp in front of him, Zhao Zian had a million complaints in his mind.

As soon as the goblins outside arrived in the vicinity, two goblins wielding simple bone clubs immediately jumped out of the camp entrance.

"Gibberish?"

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

After a series of abstract exchanges, the gate made of broken wooden pieces was opened, and the goblins outside eagerly scurried inside.

The flying ants flew straight up and easily flew over the dilapidated walls.

Upon entering, I discovered a large number of female creatures.

These female creatures were all kept in wooden cages, and there were many goblins guarding them nearby.

Some goblins are even doing it...

Goblins are mostly male, though there are female goblins, but for some reason their numbers are extremely small. If they were to rely on themselves to reproduce, they would become extinct in a short time.

Fortunately, goblins are quite peculiar; they can also have goblin babies with females of other races.

Therefore, the number of goblins has always been very large. Even if a batch is killed, their strong reproductive ability can make them reproduce in large numbers very quickly.

Many female creatures have been captured and brought here by them.

Lizards, wild boars, rabbits, wolves, snakes...

They have everything; there's nothing these goblins can't do, only things you can't imagine.

There were even a few fish kept in cages.

Those fish were out of the water and had long since died.

It's already started to stink...

But the goblins still...

Nun's Confusion GIF

Zhao Zian's body trembled, and he rubbed his eyes violently.

It's a password!

My true self exists in the real world.

He only allowed his followers to cause trouble in the other world.

I never expected such a psychological attack!

It could actually pass through two worlds and attack its own eyes...

However, with the intention of probing the enemy's strengths and weaknesses.

Zhao Zian opened his eyes and continued to investigate.

Many of the females were already heavily pregnant, clearly carrying baby goblins.
