Chapter 290: Goblin Beasts! Again! Part 2

After Ava affirmed to him that he didn't have access to the menu and could only use the inventory, Adam couldn't help but become annoyed.

Even when he used the inventory, the inventory tab wouldn't appear before him and Adam had become accustomed to using the Inventory Feature using only his mind, but there was one thing that he was still hoping he could do.

[Ava, can I spend stat points?] asked Adam.

{Unfortunately, the host cannot spend stat points and like I have mentioned, the host only has the access to the inventory feature and will not receive any external or additional assistance from the system} answered Ava.

Hearing that, Adam was slightly disappointed since he had saved up a lot of points that would have massively increased his power if he spent them all and would have made Floor 10 quite a lot easier.

However, he had been planning to save the stat points to use all at once at the end of his training anyway, so there was no need for him to become too upset over it and there was no going back.

[I will continue to save all the additional stat points that I receive and will use them all at once for a great power boost, only if needed in the future] said Adam to himself as he stretched his body.

The Dungeon Form was identical to his own body, but would still feel foreign every time that he used it and he looked around himself to see that it was exactly like Floor 0.

There was a small pond around the small plot of land that he was stood on and a small bridge to the enormous forest that surrounded the base of the goblin beasts.

Adam was curious as to what kind of goblin beasts he would come across and slightly regretted collecting some of the beasts he collected that had common and quite weak special traits, but was excited to integrate all the goblin beast types with his Goblin Summon.

Crossing the bridge to the forest, as soon as he did so, Adam felt like his link to the safe zone had been cut off and as he felt that, he heard a notification from Ava within his mind.

{Ding, once the host has left the safe zone, it is no longer a safe zone and all beasts that come across the host will be hostile to the host}

Adam hadn't expected something like that to occur, but it wasn't too much of a surprise and the dungeon was slowly becoming more and more realistic as he went up the floors.

The floor he was currently on was a clear example of that and he was planning to find a place that he would protect and return to when he needed to rest.

Jumping up onto the closest tree, Adam held tightly onto his daggers and spread his spiritual sense to the area around him, but didn't spread it too far as that would cause him quite a lot of mental strain and drain his energy reserves.

Ava had warned him to be conservative with his energy and Adam wasn't planning on using any of his skills, techniques or Unique Skills unless he had no choice but to use them.

His Dagger, Spear and Hand to Hand Combat Mastery had all been increased to 20%, making him a very capable and adaptable fighter and because of that, he was confident that he wouldn't need to rely on his abilities.

After a few minutes of surveying the area, he soon saw a familiar-looking goblin beast and since the system wasn't offering him any assistance, he wasn't able to look at his status.

Even after trying to use the Status Peering Feature on it, he couldn't. but with his spiritual sense and sharp senses, he had a rough idea of how powerful the beasts were.

[If the weak and ordinary goblin guards are this powerful, what can I expect from the goblin beasts within the city and their leader or leaders] thought Adam to himself as he stealthily approached the beast.

Other beasts or Advanced Cultivators would have been able to sense Adam's spiritual sense scanning them, but Adam knew that the goblin guards beasts had a low Intelligence Stat, or so he assumed.

However, even if the beast did sense Adam briefly scanning its body for an instant, it didn't react and also wouldn't be able to sense Adam's presence as he had become very skilled at concealing and hiding not only his presence, but also his cultivation level.

The goblin beast held a large wooden club in his right hand, but this time had a small circular shield in its other hand and was also slightly larger and more muscular.

When Adam reached a dozen metres away from the beast, he knew that it was risky to continue to approach him the same way that he currently was, the beast would be alerted.

From what he could sense, there weren't any beasts in the environment and going off what he could sense from the goblin beast and what he had experienced on Floor 0, Adam assumed that the beast had no way to communicate with the other beasts.

[I will engage it directly in combat, find out its weaknesses and also see what it is capable of. I will not use any of my abilities and after killing it, will need to find somewhere to dispose of its body, since it won't disintegrate on this floor] planned Adam.

With that plan in mind, Adam jumped down from the tree he was standing on, and with speed that was faster than that of a car, he dashed towards the goblin beast.

Seeing and sensing Adam dashing towards him, the goblin beast's eyes flashed red with hate and killing intent as it licked its lips with its long snake-like tongue.

Holding out its shield and swinging back its club, the goblin beast prepared itself to fight Adam who reached it within milliseconds and slashed with his daggers towards his head.
