The Ogre slept soundly, undisturbed by Aden's antics.
Aden used five ropes to bind the Ogre's feet round and round.
"Come over, push it over!"
The Goblin minions hurriedly gathered beside their leader.
With faces full of fear, they placed their hands against the Ogre's back.
The Ogre was lying on its side against the mountain, not difficult to push.
"Push!"
At Aden's command, the Goblins pushed together with all their might.
The Ogre's massive body flopped over limply, lying face down on the ground.
Its huge breath blew up the dust from the ground.
"Quick, bring the bark rope."
Aden hastily tied the Ogre's hands behind its back.
To prevent the Ogre from exerting force, a good binding method was needed.
Aden first tied the Ogre's hands together.
Then he used three bark ropes to connect the hands with the neck.
In this way, if the Ogre struggled, it would make its neck very uncomfortable.
The harder it struggled, the tighter the bark rope around its neck would become.
Even if the Ogre was strong, it was useless if it couldn't exert its strength.
"That's not enough, we need an extra safeguard!"
Aden used a few more bark ropes to bind the Ogre's feet with its neck.
In this way, if the Ogre tried to break the bark rope on its feet, the rope around its neck would pull forward.
This pull would cause the bark rope tied behind with its hands and neck to tighten.
Looking at the Ogre tied up like a dumpling with bark rope, Aden nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go, hide in the forest."
Whether it works or not will only be known when the Ogre wakes up.
Hearing that they could be far from the terrifying Ogre, the Goblins ran back to the forest.
In the following time, Aden patiently waited for the Ogre to wake up.
Time passed bit by bit, hour after hour.
As the sunset was about to set and night was approaching, the Ogre finally woke up.
"Roar!"
A panicked roar in the forest, startling the birds into flight.
Under the fruit tree, the Ogre rolled around in panic.
Its huge strength made the bark ropes on its body creak loudly.
The more it struggled, the stronger the sense of suffocation around its neck became.
The frantically struggling Ogre howled continuously, its voice becoming more and more hoarse.
It struggled for two full hours before lying on the ground, panting heavily.
By this time, one-third of the bark rope around its neck had already snapped.
Seeing the Ogre stop struggling, Aden, hiding in the bushes, let out a sigh of relief.
If the Ogre continued to struggle, the bark rope would eventually be torn apart.
"Well, it's time for me to take action!"
Aden stood up and walked out of the bushes.
In his hand was a whip made of bark rope.
The whip was also wrapped with some thorny vines.
Thorny vines are a poisonous plant in the forest.
It has only one effect; once pricked, it causes intense pain.
Although not lethal, it can cause pain for several days.
Even Goblins cannot be immune to this toxin when pricked.
Although the Ogre's defense is high, its body is not a Reinforced Skeleton.
As soon as Aden appeared, he was noticed by the Ogre.
Its huge eyes stared fixedly at Aden.
It opened its huge mouth and let out a roar.
Aden, walking forward, chuckled and flicked the whip.
A loud "crack" sounded, echoing far and wide.
Aden flicked the whip again, lashing the Ogre's back.
"Roar!"
The Ogre roared in pain, rolling towards Aden.
Aden swung the whip again, striking the Ogre's buttocks.
A blood streak immediately appeared on the buttocks.
Although it only broke the skin, it was enough.
"Stop resisting and become my minion obediently."
For a while, the sound of whips echoed in the forest.
The long whip was swung by Aden, whistling through the air.
Accompanying it were the painful roars of the Ogre.
Time passed bit by bit, as the sunset set and night fell.
Even in the night, the sound of the whip did not cease.
Early the next morning, in the forest near the fruit tree.
"You stubborn mule, still fierce!"
Looking at the Ogre that was still growling and roaring at him from a distance, Aden rolled his eyes.
He breathlessly threw away the whip that was no longer in shape.
After a whole night of whipping, the Ogre still looked fierce.
The look in its eyes towards Aden was nothing but hatred.
"Again!"
Gobge quickly handed over a new whip.
The temporarily halted whip sound in the forest rang out again.
In the following days, Aden devoted himself to the task of taming the Ogre.
It was a torment for the Ogre and a torment for himself as well.
On the fifth day, still under that fruit tree.
"Well, being my minion won't hurt you, I'll lead you to feast and drink in the future."
Aden tempted the Ogre with a purple fruit.
The Ogre, lying on the ground, was barely breathing and looked listless.
But the look in its eyes towards Aden was still only filled with hostility.
Faced with Aden's feeding, it roared.
Its huge body suddenly rolled over, pressing down on Aden.
Aden frowned slightly, stepped back a few steps, and dodged the Ogre's body.
His face slightly cold, a trace of impatience flashed through Aden's eyes.
"It seems you are only fit to be a piece of meat!"
Aden threw away the whip in his hand and waved to the Goblin behind him.
"Eat it alive!"
After five days and nights of relentless training, Aden was on the verge of giving up.
He just wanted to end this matter and go back to have a good sleep.
The Goblins, hearing their leader's words, were stunned for a moment.
Then their faces showed excitement, their corners of their mouths slightly curled, revealing sharp teeth.
The Goblin minions cheered and pounced on the Ogre with greedy faces.
The Goblins pouncing on the Ogre frantically gnawed at its body.
One bite tore off a large piece of flesh.
"Roar!"
The intense pain on its body made the Ogre emit a weak roar.
But the weakened Ogre had already lost the ability to resist.
But a magical scene appeared.
The wounds caused by the Goblin's gnawing actually grew new flesh at a visible speed.
This scene made Aden feel very curious.
"Could it be the effect of the Regeneration skill?"
His eyes brightened, Aden pounced on the Ogre's body.
He opened his ferocious mouth and tore a piece of meat from the Ogre's thigh.
"It's so tough!"
The Ogre's meat was very unpalatable.
It was hard and tough, like a piece of rubber.
But in order to gain the skill, he couldn't care about that anymore.
One bite, two bites, three bites...
Aden chewed on piece after piece of the Ogre's flesh and blood, but the system's prompt never appeared.
"Is it that eating the heart has the highest chance of gaining skills?"
Both the Reinforced Skeleton and Wind Blade skills were obtained by eating the heart.
