Chapter 121: Severe Injuries and Hollow Cavities

A hundred-meter-wide chasm suddenly appeared across the ice layer on the river surface.

The existence of this chasm halted the Goblins' pursuit of the human army.

The ice layer beneath Carlos shattered into large pieces.

After completing this action, Carlos endured severe pain and leaped off the icy island.

Landing on the ice surface, he stumbled and staggered southward.

Wherever he went, a trail of blood was left on the pristine ice.

Seeing that the pursuit of the human army was no longer possible, the Goblins on the ice roared angrily.

They could only watch helplessly as the human army disappeared into the forest on the southern bank.

Meanwhile, on the other side—

At the eastern edge of the icy river, a giant shadow swiftly passed beneath the water.

The next moment, with a loud crash, water splashed everywhere.

Yue E’s enormous body leaped onto the ice.

Li Meng, who was riding on Yue E's back, climbed down with a pale face.

“Boss, there’s a hole in your body!”

Yue E turned around, her giant eyes staring intently at the boss.

At this moment, Li Meng’s appearance was utterly miserable.

A gaping wound the size of a bowl had opened on his chest.

Through the hole, one could even see wriggling internal organs.

At that moment, Benben’s massive figure also came thundering over.

Benben plopped heavily onto the ice and sat down.

Lowering his head, he gazed at the pitiful state of the boss.

“Boss, are you going to die?”

Benben’s voice was low, carrying a hint of sadness.

Li Meng forced a wry smile and leaned back against Yue E's leg.

“I won’t die!”

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

Li Meng could feel his wound gradually healing.

But it seemed as if some foreign force was lingering in the wound, interfering with his body’s natural healing.

Recalling the technique used by that human, it was evident that the remaining force in his wound was Crystal Magic.

“That’s great, Boss! I thought you were going to die!”

Benben moved closer, lying on the ice as he curiously observed the hollow in the boss’s chest.

“Boss, your organs are so disgusting!”

The boss’s organs were sticky, pulsating, and seemed to be teeming with countless writhing worms.

Even for Benben, an Ogre, it was enough to make his skin crawl.

Turning slightly, Li Meng glanced toward the west.

“What’s the situation over there?”

Benben sat back down and shook his massive head.

“Boss, the humans ran away!”

Li Meng noticed a deep chasm that spanned the southern ice layer.

He had sensed the earlier commotion as well.

“I didn’t expect that human to still have enough strength to unleash such a powerful skill!”

At this moment, Li Meng deeply realized the terrifying nature of humans.

While their physical strength couldn’t compare to the Savage Tribe's elites, the skills they possessed were extraordinarily potent.

“It seems that altering the future trajectory is indeed not so easy!”

Li Meng recalled that in one of the future lines, the human fleet was completely annihilated.

After numerous attempts to alter the future line, the new outcome saw the humans retreating.

Before the great battle, Li Meng had considered ensuring the complete destruction of the human fleet.

He had even planned to personally eliminate the dozen or so human ships that hadn’t entered the ambush circle after the battle.

However, the results proved that some futures were beyond his ability to change.

The future line predicted by Simulated Life was simply too fragmented.

Without enough details, it was impossible to alter the future at will.

By the time the events were unfolding, it was already too late to make changes.

Li Meng sat down, leaning against Yue E.

“Benben, did you encounter any unbeatable human warriors?”

In one of the future lines, both Benben and Yue E were fated to perish.

This indicated that there were other powerful individuals among the human fleet besides Carlos.

Benben nodded his enormous head.

He reached out his right hand and touched the armor on his chest.

“Boss, earlier, I got stabbed with a big hole too. That human was amazing! I couldn’t even see how he attacked me. Then he jumped up, really high, and the sun was too blinding. So, I ran!”

At this moment, Li Meng noticed a large hole in Benben’s chest armor.

It should be noted that an Ogre’s chest armor was the most defensively robust area.

The armor’s thickness reached a terrifying ten centimeters.

Yet, the human warrior’s strike had directly pierced through Benben’s body.

Seeing this, Li Meng frowned slightly.

Li Meng couldn’t understand why the human warrior who attacked Benben didn’t team up with Carlos to fight him.

If the two human warriors had joined forces, he might have been killed right there.

“Boss! Boss!”

At that moment, Gobu Tian came trotting over.

Sliding across the ice, he knelt dramatically before the boss, skidding for more than ten meters.

“Boss, you’re amazing! Even the Goblin King is unworthy of licking your boots!”

Gobu Tian looked at his boss with fanatical admiration.

He had witnessed the battle between the boss and the human warrior.

That immense strength made his entire body tremble uncontrollably.

He had been so excited that he…

Facing Gobu Tian’s fanatic gaze, Li Meng weakly waved his hand.

“Clean up the battlefield. Remember to strip the humans of their armor and weapons and take them with us!”

Gobu Tian nodded fervently.

Looking at the massive hollow in the boss’s chest, Gobu Tian swallowed nervously.

“Boss, are you… okay?”

Yue E and Benben both turned to glare at Gobu Tian.

Facing their oppressive gazes, Gobu Tian shivered and withdrew his neck.

He scrambled to his feet and ran off without looking back.

As the human army retreated, the battle on the ice came to an end.

The Goblins began cleaning up the battlefield.

For a moment, the cries of the surviving human soldiers filled the air.

Whether alive or dead, they all became the Goblins' feast.

On the ice, tens of thousands of Goblins scrambled for food.

“Humans, delicious!”

“Mine, all mine!”

The humans became the Goblins' top-priority meal.

Especially the powerful adventurers, who were highly prized by the Goblins.

Compared to ordinary soldiers, adventurers’ meat was chewier, and their marrow even sweeter.

The battlefield on the ice turned into a dining table for the Goblins.

The Goblins feasted, their chewing sounds echoing to the heavens.

“Damn it, despicable!”

The horrifying dining scene of the Goblins on the ice was seared into the eyes of the humans in the southern forest.

Their hearts were filled with hatred and loathing for the Goblins.

So many of their comrades had died, with fewer than a thousand survivors.

Around three thousand warriors had fallen at the hands of the Goblins.

With such deep hatred, how could they not be vengeful?

“Go! Live to seek revenge!”

A military officer punched a tree trunk hard.

The punch was so forceful that it left bloodstains on the bark.

The soldiers in the forest helped the wounded and left this nightmarish place.

Time passed bit by bit.

The sound of chewing on the ice persisted for a long time.

By the time the sun set in the west, the Goblins had devoured all the corpses on the battlefield.

Aside from bloodstained equipment, nothing remained.

“We won!”

“Human meat is so delicious!”

“Humans are so weak; we’re so strong, haha!”

That night, a black mass of jubilant Goblins swarmed into the forest.
