"Damn it! That guy actually found someone from the Furious Tribe? In such a short time?"

As the former chief of the goblin tribe, the current mind flayer knows a lot about the goblin forces in this dungeon.

So at the beginning he didn't expect that the people from the Furious Tribe would come near the woods.

Although he did ask his deputy to look for the Furious Tribe before he was captured and transformed by the Brain Devouring Monsters, he also knew that this method would be unlikely to succeed.

Goblins worship the Dark Six.

That is, the six: Devourer, Fury, Guardian, Mockery, Shadow, and Traveler.

The Six Dark Gods are two sides of the same coin as the Gods of Destiny and are the embodiment of the gods' shadows.

Similar to the belief in the gods of destiny, the belief in the six dark gods also focuses on following fate.

They do not have a clear sect, but those who believe in them are often more radical groups, so their cohesion is higher than that of the believers of the Gods of Destiny.

The goblins in this dungeon were originally united, but as time passed, they first split into six forces named after the Six Dark Gods, and then continued to split and disintegrate in the following years.

This goblin tribe near the mushroom forest was separated from the Guardian tribe.

They were originally responsible for the property and weapons of the entire goblin force, so after the split, they inherited more equipment.

"The tribe of the Wrath of Faith is undoubtedly the most difficult group of people to deal with. What conditions did that idiot use to call these guys here? Could it be the entire tribe?"

As it was flying towards the woods, a shining axe spun and brushed past the Mind Flayer's right arm.

Sticky purple-red blood splashed out, and the cold light in the Mind Flayer's eyes became even stronger, but he just continued to fly with his head down.

"Those barbarians are all Berserkers, and their level has reached level 6. The hypnotic power of psychic energy has no effect on them at all..."

While secretly calculating in his mind, the Mind Flayer suddenly grabbed a Brain Eater and threw it backwards.

When the barbarian goblin who caught up was about to kill the brain-eating monster, the seemingly defenseless brain-eating monster suddenly burst out with huge psychic power.

But after that, the brain-eating monster completely lost all signs of life.

The Mind Flayer took this opportunity to distance himself from the barbarian goblins, and by the time they caught up with him, he had successfully returned to the woods.

"Those barbarians will definitely come looking for me! I need to adapt to the power of psychic energy as soon as possible. It would be best if I could prepare some more brain-eating monsters..."

Taking a look at the brain-eating monster that was following closely beside him, the Mind Flayer blinked and began to formulate a countermeasure in his mind.

…

Watching the mind flayer run into the woods, the barbaric goblins did not dare to go deeper.

Although they are a group of guys eager to fight, it doesn't mean that they will jump into a trap just because there may be one ahead of them.

What they want is a head-on battle with real punches and blood, rather than a frustrating fight where they are killed by traps and mechanisms set by sinister hunters.

Even though the Mind Flayer's performance just now was not good, after witnessing the power that brain-eating monster exploded, these barbarians were still afraid of the remaining brain-eating monsters beside the Mind Flayer.

"Let's go back and report to the chief! It looks like there are really some good things in this forest."

After recovering the axe that they had thrown at the mind flayer, several barbarian goblins returned to the canyon and asked one of the bear goblins to bring the message to the other goblins in the tribe.

…

Shortly after the battle between the goblins and the mind flayers broke out, Master Ka, who had temporarily finished his work, prepared to enjoy life.

After taking off his sweat-soaked clothes, Carl supported himself on both sides of the wooden board with his hands and leaned down like a dragonfly skimming the water.

His movements were extremely swift, and before he could fully feel anything, he had pulled away.

He took two deep breaths and waited until he was fully prepared mentally before he slowly lowered his body and completely immersed himself in the slightly hot comfort.

As he went deeper, he made a sound of comfort.

When his body was completely wrapped, Carl's body twitched twice, and he felt like he was about to lose control.

But when he was about to pull away again, he forced himself to hold back.

Maintaining the same posture as when he first entered, Carl continued to take deep breaths, and his skin gradually turned crimson.

The scorching heat made him somewhat uncomfortable, but in order to relax, he had to endure it.

This situation lasted for several minutes until Carl was fully adapted and he slowly began to move.

“Crash~”

Carl scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face.

The warm bath water completely opened the pores on his face. Carl shook his body comfortably, then leaned against the backrest of the bathtub and sank into the water.

"Taking a bath is such a wonderful thing!"

Feeling the soreness in his body gradually being relieved in the hot water, Carl couldn't help but sigh out loud.

Whether in his previous life or this life, Carl is a northerner.

Due to the influence of geographical factors, most people in the north like to take a bath.

After completing the stage-by-stage processing of metal parts, Carl did not intend to waste the basin of bath water made to cool Hope down, so he directly put a few rune stones in it and heated it up.

Red wine and salt water. In Carl’s previous life, wouldn’t this be a red wine bath plus a sea salt bath?

Most public baths do not offer this kind of treatment, only the high-end private baths on the second floor have it.

Of course, people who receive this service may not pay much attention to what is added to the bath water.

The small bed next to it, which was said to be used for rest, was the focus of their attention.

The rune stone in the bathtub emits heat steadily, which keeps the bath water at a relatively stable temperature.

After getting used to the temperature, Carl took the rune stone out of the bathtub and placed it on the ceramic tray next to it.

Picking up a pitch-black ceramic basin, Carl placed it on the rune stone and then lay back in the bathtub.

This ceramic basin and tray were made by Carl not long ago using the ashes of a monitor lizard mixed with clay, and the texture is quite solid.

It is absolutely safe to use it for making soup or cooking.

Smelling the aroma of the broth that was gradually becoming richer, Carl looked up at the ceiling and let out a long sigh.

Today's exploration brought him a glimmer of hope. He felt that he had vaguely found a clue to leave the dungeon.

The mind flayers in the woods and that base must be connected to the mind flayer that kidnapped him.

This means that the other party may have a way to leave this dungeon.

Reaching his hand over the bathtub, Carl's gaze gradually changed from distracted to determined.

At the same time, he gradually clenched his fists.

"Whether there is a way to leave here or not, I have to strengthen myself as soon as possible so that I can grab the opportunity when it really comes."

"That mind flayer is not easy to deal with, and those goblins are also a problem!"

"But... I am not without help!"
