Chapter 52 Shadow Demon
Early the next morning, news came from the dark post in charge of monitoring the goblins, and they began to retreat.

Tang Zhao got the news and immediately set off to observe the situation. The evacuation of hundreds of people would take time. When he arrived, the evacuation was still in progress and not over.

[The specific process, if you have seen it, please tell us, this is very important to us. 】

Cynthia lowered her voice, and conveyed Tang Zhao's words to the guard goblin.

"According to the original plan, in order to ensure safety and concealment, we did not get too close to the goblin settlements. We just used stealth to go over there regularly to check the general situation there. After you made a big fuss before, the defense of the goblins was very difficult. Strict, unable to get too much information, but there are a few things that are certain.”

The little goblin is an experienced hunter and an excellent patrol member. He told Tang Zhao what he saw and heard very methodically.

Tang Zhao's previous "poisoning late at night" offensive did affect many goblins, but only those in the outer layer. In order to ensure Tang Zhao's own safety, he did not risk going deep into the inner layer of the goblin settlement, and a team of spear-wielding goblins could kill him Stop it, it takes time for the toxin to take hold, and before that he has to face hundreds of goblins besieging him, there is still room for things, he is not interested in doing things that are more or less dangerous.

Thanks to this, Tang Zhao's harassment had almost no effect on the goblin core.

In most settlements, the leadership's residence will be in the inner core, and the goblins are the same, and their leadership will certainly not suffer much.

Now the goblins are evacuating in a relatively orderly manner, and they haven't dispersed in a crowd, which means that someone must be directing them, and the leader of the goblins must still be safe and sound.

In addition, Tang Zhao did not see any goblins carrying any wounded out. Until the last goblin left the settlement, the little goblin guards probably counted it, and there were only more than 300 goblins evacuated in total.

Excluding the hundreds of goblins that have fallen into the hands of Tang Zhao and others these days, the number is still small, and Tang Zhao probably knows it in his heart.

Obviously, those goblins who were poisoned before were most likely given up by the hobgoblin commander. The unexpected choice behind it represented the life and death of more than a hundred goblins.

In the goblin-like kingdom, hobgoblins are precious consumables, while goblins are cheap low-cost cannon fodder. It is reasonable for him to make this choice from the goblin-like point of view.

When the goblins were almost out of sight, Tang Zhao asked other groups of goblins to hang behind each other to follow them, to make sure that they really left, rather than waiting for an opportunity to kill back.

He himself and the rest of the people couldn't wait to get closer to the goblin settlement, ready to investigate the situation there.

Tang Zhao can imagine that the scene inside is bloody or not, there must be a trap set by the goblins before they leave.

Hobgoblins, goblins, and even bear goblins with poor intelligence are not willing to suffer losses. It is impossible for them to leave in such a disheveled manner without even venting before leaving.

If this group of goblins smashed up the camp that he was about to leave, then Tang Zhao might have to rest assured. Now that these people are leaving in a smooth manner, Tang Zhao feels that there is something wrong with it, and the problem is not small.

From the strong bears to the frail goblins, no one has yet entered the goblin settlement under Tang Zhao's instructions.

He entrusted the bear man Leo and another dryad whose name Tang Zhao didn't know to help catch a few animals back, and the rest of them discussed the use of the goblin's leftover items on the spot.

Hundreds of people left in a hurry, and many things left behind can be reused, which can save a lot of effort, but it is not very nice to say it.

Most of the goblin stuff is second-hand. The original owner might be a hapless human caravan, or some careless dwarven stronghold.

Tang Zhao and the others will use it again, and it will definitely be environmentally friendly.

But this is just to complain in my heart. Tang Zhao doesn't have any psychological burden. I didn't know how many hands of rotten meat I ate before. In this respect, he is more practical, and more requests will wait until he has more time. Now he can live in peace. It's all strenuous.

The trees cut down by the goblins were taken away, and the ones that passed the quality standard were used as raw materials for handicrafts by the goblins, the lower ones were used as building materials, and the worst ones were used as firewood, without wasting a single bit.

Goblins use all kinds of cloth for tents, most of which have become dilapidated due to improper use and lack of maintenance, but some are of amazing quality, washed and mended, they can barely be used again.

After planning, the bear man and the dryad also came back with a few animals.

Leo held a wild boar under his left and right armpits, while another dryad entangled a roe deer with vines. Their condition seemed to be acceptable. Although they were obviously frightened, at least they had no stress response Scared to death.

The bear man is a serious druid spellcaster, while the dryad can use many kinds of druid spells. Both sides will have a ring of magic to turn beasts into friends. This magic can appease the beast and increase the bond between the beast and the caster. The favorability of the time is suitable for this occasion.

However, similar spells have restrictions on their use. Turning beasts into friends has little effect on powerful creatures, so it can only effectively deal with wild beasts like roe deer and wild boars. It is a bit difficult to deal with more aggressive beasts like wild wolves. strenuous.

Tang Zhao put the wild beasts into the settlement and asked them to help find the way.

Three wild beasts sprang out from various positions like arrows flying off the string, and ran into the settlement in the blink of an eye.

Everyone waited quietly for dozens of seconds, and there was a dull sound from inside the settlement, followed by the mournful cries of wild boars and roe deer.

After the wailing, there was an unnatural silence, which made everyone feel a little terrified.

【Hearing this movement, it seems to be caused by some kind of creature, and the attack was so fast that the three animals didn't have time to make a second cry. 】

Tang Zhao hurriedly let out a roar, and everyone put on a defensive posture knowingly, but before everyone was ready, a black shadow emerged from a tent.

Ignoring the obstruction of the tent, he appeared in front of everyone like a ghost. The creature in front of him was thin, about three meters tall, with a dark complexion and a ferocious face. There were a pair of long horns growing upwards on his head, and two pairs of sharp fangs on his mouth. With a pair of broken bat wings and unnaturally long arms, it looks so weird that it doesn't look like a creature in nature.

"Be careful! This is a shadow demon! He can move incorporeally!"

Among the crowd, Lilith was the most well-informed. After the first few seconds of astonishment, she accurately named the creature in front of her.

I don't understand what incorporeal movement is, but Tang Zhao still has some understanding of the word "demon".

In this world, demons are not adjectives, but a name for a class of creatures. They come from the bottomless abyss, they are the embodiment of chaos and evil, and they are the source of destruction stuffed into the bodies of different kinds. They are important to all creatures in the world. is a deadly threat.

After realizing that there was a demon in front of him, Tang Zhao immediately assumed an offensive posture, ready to deal with the attack of the demon.

Some creatures can negotiate, and some creatures don't need to negotiate at all. Demons and goblins are the latter, and redundant negotiations are useless.

　Sorry for the confusion between the two names above, it has been revised now.
