Chapter 229 - The New Goblin Commune (1) Hunt

The underground fortress was a marvel of ingenuity and relentless effort. Labyrinthine tunnels twisted and turned in every direction, reinforced with a mix of stone and the natural adhesive secreted by Chimera Ant workers. Walls glimmered faintly in the dim torchlight, their surfaces polished smooth to reduce noise from movement. The entrances were camouflaged expertly, blending into the surrounding terrain so seamlessly that even a trained tracker would have missed them. Above ground, the region appeared as untouched wilderness; below, it was a fortified stronghold.
