As Linsel spoke, he drew his sword and strode up to the old goblin.

Goblin Shaman, Monster, Health: 30/30, Armor: 0

It seems that the guy with nowhere to escape in the corner is indeed the goblin shaman.

He thrust his iron sword straight through the old goblin's heart.

After letting out a low, hoarse scream, the goblin shaman collapsed and died.

The tenth monster ability!

The goblin exclaimed, "Well done, Linsel! Let's check if there are any left in the cave that we haven't killed yet."

Kaller, carrying a torch, followed behind: "Already dead? I haven't even seen the enemy..."

"Hurry up and catch up, we still need torches for light," the goblin adventurer urged.

The four continued on their way.

If the location where the goblin shaman was killed still had some light, the interior of the lair further inside was completely dark.

Meanwhile, the ground became increasingly damp, and the stench of decay and rot grew stronger and stronger.

Lindsay opened the panel.

[Elder: Your physical age has increased by 60 years, Intelligence and Charm +5, other four attributes -2.]

[Shamanic Monster Summoning: You can randomly summon a monster with a threat level of 0-4]

Note: If this monster has intelligence, it will decide whether to obey you based on your strength. If it does not obey or has no intelligence, it will attack nearby creatures by default.

The monster's existence time is related to your intelligence; using this ability requires touching a small piece of wood or a candle and performing a ritual.

Monster summoning spell? Linsel recalled the strange behavior of the goblin shaman earlier.

So what it was just now was a summoning ritual.

After Lindsay chose this ability, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Did it succeed in summoning it? If it did, and it's a powerful one...

"Ah! A head!"

A gasp came from behind, making Linssé's heart skip a beat.

"Kaller, don't shout like that, you scared me."

Kaller tripped over something, and shining his torch on it, he saw it was a skull.

"Oh, it's a dead man's head!"

Lindsay pressed down on his shoulder: "Don't jump around like that, focus."

The goblin's lair wasn't large. After walking for another minute or two, the four of them arrived at a stone cave room at the end.

Lindsay cautiously scanned his surroundings, but fortunately, there were no monsters he had imagined that might be summoned.

There was nothing strange in the room except for a few simple wooden frames, some dry grass scattered haphazardly, some ashes left from a fire, and various kinds of bones scattered along the cave walls.

A small square leather shelf placed in the center caught Kaller's attention.

"What is this? It's graffiti on it, and it looks like some kind of writing."

"let me see."

The goblin approached the somewhat strange leather and stared at it for a long time.

"Oh, these are items from goblin shamans. They seem to be their clan's insignia, but I don't understand what these scribbles mean."

"Scarface" held a torch and walked around the cave room during this time.

"We're really poor; we didn't find anything of value."

Kale then reminded him, "You could collect the goblin ears, senior, you forgot about that."

"That's your job. I'll head out now; it stinks in here."

After collecting the goblin ears, the four returned the way they came and left the goblin's lair.

As they approached the cave entrance, Linsel suddenly heard a tearing and chewing sound coming from outside.

What's outside the cave? Maybe it's that summoning monster?

"Flat-nosed" also heard it: "It sounds like something bad is outside, let's go out quickly."

Scarface threw down his torch and rushed out of the cave first.

"Get out here quickly!"

The remaining three then rushed out.

"Senior, what is this? It's a huge monster!"

Linsel turned around and saw an ogre squatting down, eating the corpses of several goblins at the cave entrance.

This ogre was different from the two we encountered last time. It wasn't wearing monster leather armor; besides a giant wooden club, it also carried several thick wooden javelins on its back.

It's that kind of giant monster again. This is going to be difficult.

"That's an ogre, most likely summoned by the shaman before he died."

As the goblin adventurer spoke, he gripped his two daggers tightly, while "Scarface," standing next to him, also placed his longsword in front of him.

The ogre also noticed Lindsay and his companions. It slowly stood up and took a thick javelin from its back.

"New...food..."

"Senior, are we going to fight the ogres? Can we retreat now?"

"Let's ignore this monster, everyone split up and run..."

As the goblin adventurer was answering Kale in a shrill voice, suddenly a longsword pierced through his back and emerged from his front!

【"Flat-nosed", Goblin, Level 1 Wanderer, Health: 3/40, Armor: 28/50 (Goblin Leather Armor), Severe Torso Wounds, Bleeding】

"This...you..."

To the astonishment of Lindsay and Calle, the goblin coughed up a mouthful of blood.

As the longsword was drawn, the green-skinned adventurer fell straight forward.

Even the ogre opposite him looked completely bewildered, and it simply sat down.

"Food...internal strife...fun..."

"Scarface, what have you done?!"

Kaller cried out in alarm, and at the same time, "Scarface" rushed in front of him, raising his sword to strike his head.

clang!

In this critical moment, Linsel shielded Kaller, and the iron sword clashed with the longsword, blocking the attack of the middle-aged adventurer opposite.

"Scarface, why did you do this?!"

"Hmph, Linsel, you got my brother thrown in jail, today is your death day!"

Scarface's face was contorted and twisted as he thrust his arms forward with a fierce shove. Lindsay felt the force coming toward him from the longsword opposite him.

This guy has been hiding his strength; he's stronger than me!

Realizing this, Lindsay hurriedly jumped back to the right to create distance.

"Scarface, I don't remember ever harming your brother!"

With trembling hands, Kaller drew his shortbow and fired an arrow at "Scarface," but the arrow missed.

"The adventurer who was captured at the tavern that day was my brother. Because of you, he'll never get out again!"

"Scarface" approached Lindsay and charged at him after he finished speaking.

The opponent's explosive power was extremely strong. Linsel saw the longsword "Scarface" was holding with both hands, gleaming slightly, raised high, and about to slash down at him.

Linsset had already taken the shield from behind his back with his left hand, and he quickly held it up in front of him.

The longsword struck the wooden shield heavily.

Click.

The sword pierced through the wooden shield in one fell swoop, creating a long, deep crack from top to bottom.
