[Skeleton Attack] has been successfully selected.

Lindsay made his choice! He chose a monstrous ability that wasn't immediately apparent.

However, he was hesitant to use this ability, as it required sacrificing a portion of his own flesh.

Will it hurt a lot? Which piece of flesh will it be? Let's leave it for now.

After making his selection, he briefly glanced at the description in the [Monster Encyclopedia].

Monster Abilities 1-10

11 Zombies [Still Dead+]

12 Little Ghouls [Danger Sense]

Description: Threat level 1.2. A monster driven by lust, it craves flesh and blood, both fresh and rotten. It prefers to live in groups and will even attack its own kind when extremely hungry. It is often found in areas with many corpses.

13 Ghouls [Skeleton Attack]

Description: Threat Level 2. Evolved from small ghouls through consumption, this form increases in size and can use its own flesh for short-range attacks; its inherent thirst for flesh remains unchanged. It can only be produced through the evolution of small ghouls.

"Linse, why are you hesitating to make a move? Is it because you think ghouls are too disgusting?" the female wanderer behind her casually chatted.

"No."

Lindsay cut off the ghoul's teeth, cleaved the corpse open with his sword, and pulled out a black, bloody heart and a slippery brain the size of a fist.

He no longer felt anything while doing these things, except that he felt a little nauseous when he saw the slippery ghoul brain.

"How do I pack this?"

"Use a wide-mouthed bottle," Claire replied.

"I brought it in advance," came the voice of a middle-aged adventurer from outside the cemetery gate.

"Goat" and "Broken Arrow" had already gathered the materials and rushed to the cemetery from outside.

The middle-aged adventurer took out several ceramic bottles from the sack: "These will do."

There were a total of 11 ghouls, but four of them were burned to death, which destroyed the materials, so you only actually got materials from 7 ghouls.

Among them, a total of 56 ghoul fangs were collected.

"Linse, I want to ask you, are you a mage apprentice?"

"No, I learned it through unorthodox methods."

Claire wisely refrained from asking further questions; inquiring about the backgrounds of other adventurers was considered impolite, something she clearly knew.

Lindsay stood up: "Now that we've collected everything, let's go back and collect our reward!"

"Let's hurry up and go, I'm exhausted, I can't wait to get back to the tavern for a good drink!"

Brinnan stretched his body, and at that moment the female wanderer glanced at the equipment on Lindsay's back, then asked Lindsay for help.

"Wait a minute, Lindsay, my legs are still numb and haven't fully recovered. I can't stand up very well yet. Can you help me up?"

This was the first time Lindsay had ever seen this woman in her early twenties act so shyly.

Lindsay walked over and took her hand.

Linsset could feel the warmth from the other person's palm and the calluses on their slender hands.

"Can you still walk?"

"Yes." The female vagrant was pulled up, her legs trembling, and she slowly began to walk.

Thanks.

……

The entire battle lasted less than an hour, and Lindsay and his three companions boarded a carriage and left the cemetery.

On the way, they encountered several middle-aged men pushing wooden carts that blocked their path. Linsset saw that the carts were carrying more than a dozen corpses lying haphazardly.

"Are you adventurers who just returned from the cemetery?"

"Yes," Broken Arrow replied.

"We need to send some dead people over there. Has the cemetery been cleaned up yet?"

Lindsay asked curiously, "It's all over. But who were the people who died on that bus?"

"They are a few adventurers and a few refugees who have fled from the north. I heard that the village there was attacked by goblins."

Goblins? Are they really that powerful?

"Broken Arrow": "How dare goblins raid a village? That doesn't make sense."

"I don't really understand either. Anyway, there have been more and more strange things happening in recent years. It seems that there are quite a few goblins, and they have formed a considerable force that is roaming around the country."

The carriage continued moving, and "Goat" took a sip of water: "I believe the guild will release a new quest in a couple of days to gather adventurers to deal with these goblins."

"According to what that corpse collector said, a goblin that dares to attack a village must be no ordinary goblin."

"Goat" replied to "Broken Arrow": "It's definitely not ordinary. These little green monsters have been quite active these past two years. It's probably because during the war between the two countries, we didn't have time to deal with them, and their numbers have increased again."

Then something happened that allowed these little monsters to form a force; they must have had a leader directing them.

The coachman, who was sitting in front of the carriage, suddenly spoke up: "Don't be afraid. No matter how large they are, they will be wiped out. The Goblin Kingdom will secretly send goblins to deal with them."

Linsel had never heard of any goblin kingdom. His impression of goblins was limited to the tenth captain of the [Sharp Teeth] squad and the bronze-level goblin adventurer he had only been adventuring with for a few days.

"The Goblin Kingdom? What kind of country is that?"

The straw-hatted coachman cracked his whip and slowly said, "You probably haven't been abroad and don't know about these things. Beyond the sphere of influence of our human countries, there is a region where goblins live. I call their loose federation the Goblin Nation."

Goblins look remarkably like goblins, but their noses are noticeably different. You could also call them "dwarfs," though these clever little green creatures don't like being called that.

They are highly intelligent and have invented many incredible machines and technologies. You can go and see for yourself sometime; it's just south of the Golden Lion Kingdom, though it's quite a long way off.

"I've been an adventurer for over ten years, and I've never really heard of this before..." "Goat" said somewhat disappointedly.

Claire chuckled. "Who said that? It's in the bard's song, from far underground, green-skinned people build cities~"

The middle-aged adventurer slapped his forehead: "Oh right, I subconsciously thought it was a goblin..."

After hearing what the coachman said, Linsel became very interested in this goblin kingdom.

When I have enough strength to travel around the world without worrying about safety, I want to go and see the Goblin Kingdom.

……

"6 silver coins and 8 points per person."

Inside the guild office, Gina confirmed that the mission was completed and handed over silver coins to Lindsay and the other two.

The female wanderer was waiting at the wooden table in the tavern. Because she hadn't officially participated in the mission, she wouldn't receive the reward.

Lindsay and the other two walked out of the office. "The Goat" said to Claire, "So, are you planning to join our team this time?"

Claire rested one hand on the wooden table, propping up her head: "Well, I still think I need to think about it some more."

Although I really like the atmosphere of your team, I still feel more free working alone. However, if I have time, I'd be happy to go on missions with you guys, like this time, where we can get ghoul materials.

"Then you're officially the foreign aid for the [Sharp Teeth] team."

Claire snorted: "Say what you will. Now let's have something good to eat at the tavern, and then go sell the ingredients."
