Chapter 6 - Profiteer.

After thinking for a while, the little fox decided to tell the little dot about what she was thinking about.

"Hey, those black things came in packs, so they're probably down there hunting my food! Come, we need to go and have a closer look!"

The little fox with a devilish grin started running towards the forest, followed by the little dot.

Deep in the small forest, a group of 10 goblins was fighting a boar.

Lvl 1|---|Nightmare Goblin| Hp:100/100|ET:50/50| x10

Lvl 5|----|Mountain Boar|Hp:800/800|ET:389/400|

The goblins with superior numbers started attacking the boar from afar with stones. A barrage of stones came flying towards the boar that received them without getting too much damage. Once it saw its attackers, it started charging toward them.

The boar had superior strength, and with its speed, it just rammed against the closer goblin, impaling it with its big tusks and killing it in an instant. The other goblins started attacking the boar with improvised axes made of sticks and a pointed rock inside of it.

Having been surrounded by those devilish things, the boar became enraged, and in that instant, 4 rock spikes came out from under the ground near the boar, impaling 3 goblins in the process.

The other goblins kept their distance from the boar and used their ropes made of vines to trap the boar, keeping it unable to move too much, while four of those goblins kept the boar trapped and the other two charged against it with their axes.

Once the goblins with the axes started attacking the boar|ET: 304/400|, it used its rock spikes again, killing this time only 1 of the goblins |x5 goblins|. The last goblin with an axe stared at the boar with an angry look, and in the next instant it started yelling so loud it could be heard from pretty far away.

For a while the boar kept struggling, trying to run away, but the goblins kept it trapped with vines, preventing it from running. When some minutes passed, the boar saw how five more of those devilish things appeared [x10 goblins].

These new batch of goblins all came with stone axes, and the goblin that just yelled pointed at the boar, making some weird noises, and then the new arrived goblins started attacking the trapped boar.

The boar keeps struggling, trying to impale the goblins with its tusks, but those little devils keep dodging and attacking the boar mercilessly with a grin on their faces. After a while, the boar |ET:0/400| finally crumbled, and now it could smell its blood coming out of its body |Hp:780/800|.

Becoming even more enraged, the boar started struggling even more wildly; finally, it could kill another goblin with its tusks. After a few more minutes, the boar finally was defeated.

The goblins were unaware that all this hunting of them was being watched by a fur ball and a little firefly that were hiding; the little fur ball was hiding inside some shrubbery and the little light dot was on top of a tree.

Once the goblin squad moved to devour the boar carcass, a |Barrier| suddenly closed, trapping all of them quite tight inside of it. The next moment, a fireball came towards them, burning some of them, and the next second, another fireball came flying from another direction, burning some other goblins.

After a while, all the goblins inside the barrier were burned. The little fox dispelled her barrier to see if there was no one else standing, and having confirmed that was the case, she was happy.

Lvl 3|----|Female Fox|Hp:80/80|ET:500/500|EXP:576/2,000|

Lvl 2|----|Lighting Wisp|Hp:160/160|ET:180/180|Exp:486/1000|

"See!?, My plan was a total success, and we got a good amount of EXP! Follow this big sister, and you will even get more benefits!"

The little foxy made a proud pose while being happy that her plan actually worked.

"Okay, big sister,"

The little dot didn't even know what sister meant, but if that made its little friend happy, it didn't mind doing it.

"Huhuhu, now let me just eat my overcooked boar, and we can go to rest for today to restore our skills."

The little foxy kept looking for the part that was less burned and started eating the boar carcass.

Having finished the not overcooked part of the boar, the duo returned to their cave and took a comfy position to rest.

"Hey, don't you think those goblins became more dangerous in a little time? The ones we defeated were unarmed, but those attacking the boar were using weapons."

The little fox, concerned about the threat of those goblins, told the little dot about it.

"Yes, it is indeed concerning; we should hunt them actively once our skills recover."

Even the little dot that knows almost nothing could tell that those goblins were a threat if left alone.

The duo keep talking while resting about how they will search the other goblins and make strategies to defeat them, though it was more like the little foxy made all the plans and then little dot just went with the flow.

Deep in the forest, a 1.5-meter-tall goblin was standing near a corpse of 2 boars, and it had a small squad of 10 goblins following it.

Lvl 5|---|Nightmare Leader Goblin|Hp:600/600|ET:350/350|x1

Lvl 1|---|Nightmare Goblin| Hp:100/100|ET:50/50| x8

Lvl 2|---|Nightmare Goblin| Hp:150/150|ET:100/100| x1

This big goblin was wearing small armor made of wood on its chest, had a big club as a weapon, its body was pitch black, making it an apex predator at night, and it was fast and strong enough to handle 2 boars at the same time.

It keeps signaling and making sounds only the goblins could understand, making it goblin squad to disperse and search for more prey to keep getting stronger. On this small island in the middle of the night, only 2 pairs of yellowish eyes could be seen.
