Chapter 146 Loot

Chapter 146 Loot

A loud explosion engulfed the center of the goblin village, plunging the hobgoblin along with the rest of the warrior goblins in a devastating sea of fire.

The explosion resulted in a mushroom cloud so big that it reached a height of close to fifty meters!

Dozens of Potions of Explosion were thrown together. This resulted in a violent blast that compounded over, destroying everything in its wake.

A large crater was formed in the center of the village with nothing remaining of the hobgoblin and the goblins that had earlier surrounded the hut. Meanwhile, the perpetrator had long since disappeared.

The Magi who had earlier escaped the village, suddenly stopped in their steps after listening to the loud explosion. When they turned around and saw the giant mushroom cloud, their eyes bulged out of their sockets.

After all, the attack power that they sensed from the massive explosion could easily take care of a Rank 1 Magus!

All of them couldn't help but involuntarily gulp, thinking that it was indeed the wisest decision of their lives to escape when they had. They cast one final glance at the dark mushroom cloud and then turned around and ran for safety.

...

On top of a mushroom tree, a distance away from the goblin village, Adam suddenly appeared. Green wind swirled around his feet and in a few moments, they disappeared after being canceled.

Rank 1 Spell: Westerly Ride!

He looked at the giant mushroom cloud at the center of the village and nervously gulped, muttering with lingering fear, "Damn! I didn't think the explosion would be that deadly!"

If it wasn't for the Westerly Ride, a spell that greatly increased his movement speed, he would have been enveloped in that blast as well. Although he wouldn't have died thanks to the sturdiness of his body, he wouldn't have come out unscathed either.

Suddenly, his ears perked up and he glanced below. He could see many goblin patrol groups rushing back to the village in panic.

Adam's face was solemn as he thought to himself, Now that both the hobgoblins have died,?it wouldn't take long for the village to fall into chaos. Who knows? They might even be absorbed by another village led by a hobgoblin.

However, that had nothing to do with him. He had already gotten what he had come here for. Thinking of all the things he'd put inside his earring, a wide grin bloomed on Adam's face.

"As I thought, those goblinoids really are avaricious creatures who like to hoard gold and treasure."

He turned around and jumped onto the next mushroom tree as he slowly made his way toward a secure hiding spot.

...

After running for hours, Adam was able to put a considerable amount of distance between himself and the village that he had just escaped from. Moreover, he also took many detours to make sure that he wasn't being followed.

There were also clothes and armor belonging to men and women. Moreover, the fact that there were platinum, gold, silver, and bronze coins, which were clearly the currency of the Southern Federation, was a clear giveaway.

The youth suspected that the Magi of the past must have appeared in the Mushroom Forest after entering the portal. Then they were captured by the goblins, killed, and had their belongings taken away.

"No wonder those two hobgoblins were so well-armed," the youth muttered in realization.

After sorting out the treasure, Adam found that all the coins added up to close to about ten thousand gold coins in value. There were all types of weapons and armor, however, most of them weren't in proper shape due to lack of maintenance.

The most valuable items that the youth found were the grimoires left behind by the deceased Magi, for they contained model components of many Rank 1 spells as well as their magic research.

While he was reading through one of the grimoires, Valerian called out to him.

'Brother!'

"Hmm?" Adam glanced at the cute little dragon and asked, "What is it, Val?"

Valerian pointed at the pile of gold and platinum coins and sent a mental transmission.

'Gimme! Gimme! 50-50!'

"Oh?" Veins started to throb on Adam's forehead. "Already dividing the loot, huh?"

Then, he grabbed Valerian and gently pinned him down on his lap. "Looks like I must discipline you."

Valerian's fur stood on end and his body trembled as he looked at Adam's menacing grin. He raised his tiny paw in surrender.

"Myu!"

"Hmph, too late!" Adam harrumphed. The next moment, his hand turned into a blur and he launched his special attack on the young dragon. "Hand of Doom: Secret Technique!"

'Wait! 30-70! No—'

And then...

Adam started to tickle him fiercely.

"Myuuuu!"
