Chapter 97 - What happened to the goblins?

When I arrived in the forest there was no goblin, only the goblin king was there because he was still buried under the mud.

'What happened here?' I couldn't tell what had happened, because, so many goblins not can disappear out of nowhere.

They could have turned into the undead and gone, but not all goblins would turn into undead.

This is certainly very strange.

Most likely another monster has eaten the flesh of the goblins I left behind, it's very normal for things like that to happen.

Wild animals can eat any kind of monster if they have died.

But I still think 40 goblins is a lot.

'Well, first let's get King Goblin's core.' I headed toward King Goblin and started to get the mud off him.

A moment later I took the sword and stuck it in King Goblin's chest.

After some time I had already removed the core from his chest, the core was much smaller than of the dragon.

By the way, I have to sell that core when I get back to the city.

If I leave it there someone can catch it without me even realizing it.

After I took King Goblin's core I decided to investigate a little bit what had happened to the other goblins, and I'd take advantage and kill some wolves if they found them on the way.

I started walking through the woods looking for clues to know where the goblins they where.

If the goblins had not disappeared I would have received a lot of money by selling the cores, I have not bought the bag before, I'm so dumb.

I kept walking through the woods and began to notice some strange signs.

Had some felled trees and some giant footprints from the ground.

'It was a really big monster that passed through here.' I already had some idea which monster it would be.

By the size of the footprints and the stupid way of walking and bumping into the trees could only be Orcs who passed by.

Usually orcs and goblins don't get along very well and of course, goblins always end up dead and eaten by orcs.

Some groups of orcs must have found the group of dead goblins and ate all the flesh and destroyed the nuclei of all goblins.

'That's frustrating' After everything I've been through I've lost all the goblin cores, and I can't even find the Orcs yet.

I've been training a spell for a long time but I don't know if it will work.

It's a wind attribute magic to detect people.

I can't differentiate friends from enemies but I can easily detect living things in an area up to 5km.

'I will try.' I would finally test and use this magic for something.

I never had to use it before, but now I think it's a good time.

I can find the group of Orcs and I can also find some wolves in the woods.

I stood near the goblins and started to focus, the next instant I started using mana as usual but this time I put mana all over my body.

"Seek" The instant I said that a cold wind came from all sides of my body and started to go in all directions.

I could feel every living being where the wind passed.

I also felt a large group of living beings together, I don't know if it was a group of Orcs but I would have to look to be sure.

I also found several other signs of life, I can easily find wolves around here and fulfill my mission.

##########

I ran toward where I felt the monsters group, but when I got there I was sad on the one hand, but on the other, I was extremely happy.

It was not a group of Orcs, but a group of wolves.

I was looking for wolves in the woods so I think it was a good find.

I wish I could find the Orcs because they would give me a lot more money and experience, but I think that's fine.

Wolves are very weak so it would be easy to beat them all in one fight.

'I have to be careful not to spoil the fur and the flesh.' If the wolf's fur and flesh are undamaged my reward would increase dramatically, so it's best not use magic right now.

I didn't even need to use magic, because I had more speed than all wolves, so I easily plucked all their heads off.

'Now comes the longest part.' Yes, it's time to take all the fur and flesh out of the wolves.

After that, I must return to the city and sell King Goblin's core and complete this quest.
