Chapter 202: When Survival Needs To Be Maintained Through Struggle...
“Protection… is always stronger than plunder?”
Timus fell into deep thought when he heard Mike’s words.
Mike slightly smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it now. You’ll understand it in the future. The most important thing right now is to quickly find those centaurs and goblins.”
Timus nodded immediately after hearing this. He looked at the centaur and asked, “Where are they?”
However, the Centaur did not hear him at all.
His eyes stared at the wounds on his body that were slowly getting healed. He was in a daze.
Obviously, this scene was too magical and it shocked him.
When the centaur came back to his senses, Timus had already called him a few times.
“They’re… they’re in the goblins’ nest! I’ll go with you!”
The centaur who had come back to his senses remembered that his compatriots were still fighting and immediately stood up, but with difficulty.
However, after Mike helped him up, he said, “No need. You can go back to the tribe. Leave the goblinss’ matters to us.”
“How can that be?!”The centaur immediately became anxious. “My compatriots are still fighting. They’re in danger now. How can I go back alone?!”
He seemed to have a lot to say, but Mike interrupted him.
“Listen, we found a young centaur in the village. That child needs your care right now.
“Think about it. What will happen if other goblins find that child?”
Mike paused while he gave the agitated centaur some time to digest the information.
As expected, the Centaur’s expression quickly turned ugly.
It was true, leaving a young child alone in the village was definitely dangerous.
The other children had clearly been gathered and told to escape to a safe place. The child must have been careless for some reason.
Mike could see the Centaur’s mood change. He took advantage of this moment while the Centaur contemplated.
“Moreover, with the strength of Timus and I, the goblinss won’t need to worry at all.
“You can be rest assured and leave it to us.”
The centaur was still a little hesitant, but after he looked at Mike and Timus’ faces, he made up his mind and nodded.
“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you guys!”
No matter if it was Mike or Timus, or how powerful they were, the Centaur race was very familiar with them.
He believed that these two humans would definitely be able to help them defeat the goblins!
The situation was urgent. After confirming this matter, Mike and Timus set off for the goblin nest without stopping.
Timus naturally knew where the goblin nest was. Mike only needed to let Timus lead the way.
Moreover, even without Timus leading the way, Mike could easily find the goblin nest. This was because the blood trail never stopped.
Some of the blood had completely dried up or seeped into the soil, dyeing it dark purple or even dark black.
Most of the trail had large amounts of blood.
There were even some body parts of the Centaur or Goblin that could be seen.
From this, it could be seen how fierce the battle was.
Both sides had reached a conclusion where neither would not rest until one of them died.
This was also why there was a Centaur who lay on the ground and waited to die.
He did not want his compatriots to delay killing the enemy in order to save him.
This would likely cause more damage to the Centaur race, because the goblinss would definitely counterattack while the Centaur race rushed to save people.
In this situation, both sides only had one goal left, and that was to kill everyone on the enemy side!
Other than that, everything else became secondary.
As Mike and Timus got closer and closer to the goblins’ nest, the number of corpses on the ground gradually increased.
Most of the Goblins’ corpses were still fine. At most, there were a few dents in their bodies. It was obvious that they had been kicked to death by the Centaurs’ hooves.
The Centaurs’ corpses, on the other hand, were much more tragic.
Most of them were badly mutilated. Some of the corpses had even been dismembered.
The wounds were all very severe. It did not look like they had been cut by a sharp weapon. They had probably been blown up by a bomb.
As he walked forward and looked at the corpses, Timus’ expression became more and more grim. Mike’s expression did not look any better either.
The centaurs treated Mike and Timus very well. The centaurs did not have any wariness or reservations towards them just because they were not of the same species.
It was unfortunate that such a friendly and kind race had to face such an encounter.
This made both of them very uneasy.
“What did they do wrong?” Timus suddenly said this as they hurried along.
Mike slowly turned his head to look at Timus.
Timus looked ahead with a complicated expression on his face.
Although he didn’t say clearly who ‘They’ were…
Mike could understand.
Mike sighed softly, “Perhaps living in this world is a mistake in itself.”
“Why?” Timus was very puzzled. He could not help but frown.
Mike was silent for a moment and answered, “When everyone is struggling to survive, then everyone else’s existence is pathetic.”
This time, Timus did not speak.
Mike did not speak either.
The two of them walked forward in silence.
The atmosphere was very silent.
Just when the silence was too much to bear, Mike and Timus finally saw a very large hole.
The blood stains were not at the entrance of the hole. Obviously, this was the goblins’ nest.
Mike and Timus looked at each other and immediately jumped into the cave.
The tunnel was very smooth. It did not look like it was formed naturally, but more like it was man-made.
The materials used to create the tunnel were probably made of some kind of metal.
After the two jumped into the cave, they went down a very long slide. It was very dark in the cave, and nothing could be seen clearly.
If they were in the game, Mike would have only needed to hold a weapon, then, the weapon would automatically emit light. Although it was not very bright, it was definitely enough to dimly light up their surrounding area.
But in this parallel world, it would not work.
The weapon that emitted light was in the game’s setting, and through the quality of the weapon, it emitted different types of lights.
They had no choice but to continue sliding down the tunnel.
No one knew what was waiting for them towards the end of the tunnel.
But they did not hesitate!
There was no other reason, just the centaurs who did not belong to the same race as the goblins.
That was enough.
Thump, thump, thump. Timus and Mike finally landed.
Mike looked back at the tunnel.
Such a smooth tunnel obviously meant that they could not go back from here. If they wanted to leave this cave, they would have to find another exit.
Timus had obviously noticed this as well.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled simultaneously.
“Who cares what’ll happen next? Let’s kill all the goblins first!”
