Chapter 16 - Cap 16: Setting A Trap

"Hhmmmm...hmm" (me)

I wake up early this morning, after going to bed early yesterday I was able to rest very well and still get up early.

I see that my subordinate is still sleeping and decide to let her rest while I make some preparations for today.

I go to the ruins and pick up some rocks, then go back inside and go to the small pile of bones from the monsters we've already eaten and use [Leech Bite: 5] to grind the bones into small sharp shards.

Then I use the three skills [ Line Production: 5 ], [ Sticky Line Production: 5 ], and [ Line Control: 5 ] to build a large network. I place the stones at the ends of the net and use the sticky thread to stick the pointed bone chips all over the net.

Ding!

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Line control: 5 > 6 ] ]>

I'm going to use this net to trap the Goblins during the ambush, once we get to the trail I'm going to set up this net and throw crippling poison all over it to quickly immobilize the Goblins.

After all this ready, I'm going to eat and rest to recover my energy, a few minutes later my subordinate woke up and I told her to eat something and then put this hammock in a box in this storage room for us to take.

With all the preparations done we left towards the trail, on the way there I found a Rabbit and three spiders that I killed effortlessly, I trapped them in my webs and made my subordinate kill them.

Ding! Ding!

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Sticky Line Production: 5 > 6 ] ]>

Then I check the group interface to see how my subordinate is.

<[ Status of group members:

{ Goblin (Subordinate)

Gender: Woman

Level: 4/15 (5/15) Exp: 25/20

HP: 21/21 MP: 16/16 STM: 21/21 }

]>

She went up a level, but it's a shame she'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to fully integrate the level.

After that we haven't attacked the rest of the way, when we got to the trail I went straight to the same spot where we were yesterday, and when I got there and saw that there was no Goblin around I started to prepare the trap.

I use [Line Production: 5] to tie four ends of the net into lines, and I tell my subordinate to climb the trees and circle the trusses with the lines to use the trusses as pulleys and then bring the lines down behind the trees into that we were in hiding yesterday.

It took a little longer than expected but luckily she managed to do everything I asked, in the end, while we were hiding behind the trees I made her hold the lines and only let go when I give the signal.

I had already used [ Weak Paralyzing Poison Secretion: 4 ] the entire network, all that was missing was a group of goblins.

After waiting about thirty-five minutes we finally spotted a group of three goblins, as soon as they were under the net I gave the signal for my subordinate to drop the net, when the net fell on top of the three Goblins they panicked trying to get out of it. , but the more they moved the more they got hurt from the bone tips.

In the end, the trap I planned was better than expected, the Goblins could barely move now, they had several wounds and scratches all over their bodies and they were moaning in pain, I told my subordinate to go to them and kill them all with her sword.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

<[ You have learned the following skills:

<[ you gained a level ]>

"There is?" (me)

"(I learned a skill just by building a trap? Really?)" (me)

"(Never mind, it just makes me stronger hahahaha)" (me)

After my subordinate had finished killing everyone, we set the trap once more, after the trap was ready I went to the three corpses and used [ Weak Paralyzing Poison Secretion: 4 ] three times on each body and went back to waiting behind the trees.

After an hour and thirty minutes finally, a group of seven Goblins is approaching.

I noticed that in this group there is the same Goblin evolved with a rusty sword and leather armorer full of holes that I saw yesterday.

I made my subordinate wait until they started eating the poisoned baits, I also used [ Weak Poison Secretion: 4 ] on my subordinate's sword.

After they saw the bait they ran and started eating and after a few minutes, half of them started to fall to the ground without moving.

"Now" (me)

On my signal my subordinate lets go of the line and the net falls on them, while they were trapped in the net I started using [ Poison spit: 2 ] on them from a distance, after doing this about eight times and seeing that they are weaker and slower, I tell my subordinate to go to them and kill them all.

Ding! Ding!

<[ You gained 7 EXP from killing Goblin ]>

<[ Party member gains 3 EXP for killing Goblin ]>

<[ You gained 9 EXP from killing Goblin Barbarian ]>

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Poison spit: 2 > 3 ] ]>

It seems I was right that Goblin had evolved, after all, that he went to the evolved Goblin and drank his blood and then all the blood of the other goblins.

Glub! Glub! Glub!

Ding! Ding!

<[ You have learned the following skills from Goblin Barbarian:

• [ Improved strength: 1 ] ]>

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Leech: 4 > 5 ] ]>

.

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Weak resistance to paralysis: 5 > 6 ] ]>

I'm going to get my hammock and call it a day, there are a lot of bodies here and that might attract a stronger monster.

I take the net, sword, and leather armor and take my subordinate away from here, we go towards the base and on the way, I used it six times [ Detect weak presence: 2 ] until my mana ran out, every ten minutes to dodge the monsters until back to base.

Ding!

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Detect Weak Presence: 2 > 3 ] ]>

But still, a gray wolf found us, and the moment it leaped towards us I used [ Poison spit: 3 ] twice, aiming for its open mouth to bite me, so I dodged and jumped on it with my [ Jump: 3 ] and bite his hind leg using [ Weak Poison Secretion: 4 ] twice until he died so I went to drink all of his blood before continuing on the way to base.

Glub! Glub! Glub!

Ding! Ding!

<[ You gained 6 EXP from killing Gray Wolf ]>

<[ You have acquired the lineage [ Gray Wolf: 19% > 38% ] ]>

<[ you gained a level ]>

When we get to the base, I tell my subordinate to drop the box with the service in the corner and we lie down for a while to rest.

I asked my subordinate to take an old cloth from this tank and soak it in the puddle of water for her to clean me and then clean herself.

After that, we rest for a few hours, and after that, I tell my subordinate to go back to the sword training I taught her yesterday.

I stand still on my bed and go meditate to integrate the levels I gained today, I cleared my mind, synchronized my breathing with my heartbeat, and calmed my emotions, after going into deep meditation I find the etheric energy of EXP, and it all together in one place, then I circulate it all over my body along with my blood.

After twenty minutes of meditating, I feel refreshed and go check my status before going to sleep.

I finally reached the maximum level again now I should be able to evolve while I sleep.

The problem is that I have to concentrate in my sleep to choose the best possible evolution, if possible I would like to at least evolve into a humanoid monster.

I turn to my subordinate and can see she's tired but still keeps training, the fire of determination in her eyes moves me, as I know I'm the reason for this.

I have to become strong enough to be able to protect her too, as soon as I evolve I will focus on her evolution and we will also start planning our invasion of her old house, after exterminating them all I will use the place as my new base.

"Stop training...let's talk" (me)

"Yes master giiigii like to talk to you gii" (Goblin subordinate)

I asked her to stop her training, I called her to talk and we talked about the location of her old house, I told her that I must evolve tonight and tomorrow we must find out the goblin numbers and the time when the strongest goblins go out to hunt.

After talking for a few hours I tell her to go to sleep and so do I.
