‘They are ignoring me!’ This puzzled Yuji. The goblin ignored him, then the bird monster, and now these two, completely ignoring him as if he never existed. But this made him happy.

"What do you think?"

"About what?" asked Xiaomei as she approached the smoldering remnant of the bird monster and began searching for something.

"About master's decision."

"Which one? Be specific”

"Do we really need to hide? We should go explore the world, enjoy this new place, and perhaps kill—I mean, bully—some filthy shaman.”

“You can’t measure the depth of the ocean just by standing on the shore. Who said there isn’t any strong shaman?” Said Xiaomei as she approached the goblin. She retrieved a knife hidden in her sleeve and cut open the goblin's chest. From inside, she took out a glowing ball-like object and threw it toward Liu. "You have already seen what they can do, it’s best to stay cautious.”

"But, we can at least go meet with the cultivator of this world, right?” Seeing Xiaomei not answering to his question Liu sighed. He took a long breath and shifted his gaze toward Yuji, “What should we about this thing.”

Yuji, who had been listening, shuttered upon hearing this. He didn’t walked away because this people were ignoring him and most importantly he was hearing what they were talking about.

As Yuji looked at the girl name Xiaomei, he noticed her eyes glowing.

“Huh! What a strange world.” Suddenly a surprised expression appeared on the face of Xiaomei. As if she discovered something strange.

“What happened?” Asked Liu

“Nothing, let’s go.” Said Xiaomei before giving a second glance before leaving. Seeing Xiaomei leaving Liu also glanced at Yuji before leaving.

“Should we just let it go!” Soon Liu also followed the girl and left.

Yuji kept looking toward the direction the duo flow away.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

‘Damn, that was intense. But why did she looked so surprised?— No I shouldn’t waste time thinking about that. I should focus on finding a way out of this place.’ Thought Yuji as he started searching for a hiding place nearby. But still, conversation of the duo lingered on his mind.

”Peep.”

"Peep."

"Peep."

As Yuji was searching for a good hiding spot he heard a sounds. It took him a few seconds but he recognized the sound, it’s a distinct chirps that hatchlings make to call their parents.

‘So close!’ Without wasting a single second, Yuji start searching for the sound and soon he found the nest in an open area above a flat rock. The nest appeared massive, hinting at the size of the bird that constructed it.

Yuji scanned the surroundings and noticed feathers scattered nearby. They bore a striking resemblance to those of the bird monster killed by Liu. Despite his curiosity, Yuji hesitated to take any risks. He hide nearby to see if the mothers return.

‘This feathers looks like that of that bird. Should I go check in? — let’s wait for a few more minutes. Who knows maybe it’s belongs to different bird.’

However, even after waiting for half an hour, he saw no sign of the bird. In the end he determined this neat belongs to the bird that was killed by Liu.

As Yuji got closer to the nest, he noticed a pair of hatchlings looking toward the sky, crying for food. But that’s not the only thing there; there were lots of eggs, exactly twenty.

"Sorry everyone, all of you must die; it’s for the greater goat.," Yuji declared with remorseless determination. He doesn’t wants to waste time. It’s a rift, anything can give him essence.

He placed his little horns under the massive nest and tried to lift it. At first, it was hard, but as the eggs were not square, they slowly started to budge.

Realizing the danger they are in both of the hatchlings started crying louder, with hopes of calling back their mother.

"Oho, Finally some skills." Yuji scrolled through the list. But he was surprised by the options presented to him.

“What the fuck. Couldn’t you at-least add some cool skills like fire ball!” No mater how much he look at the list of skills, he couldn’t found a good offensive skill. He was expecting a cool skill, related to fire or ice. Wouldn’t it had been cool if a goat could spat fire? But unfortunately there was no skill like that.
