The demon monk in the second dimension

"I am an adventurer who came during the day. The goblins in the cave have already been defeated."

Upon hearing Xia Zhi's voice, the village chief was startled.

what?

This adventurer only went up the mountain in the afternoon and returned in the evening?

Wow, that's fast!

Using the still relatively bright moonlight, the village chief quickly opened the door and invited Xia Zhi in.

Upon entering, the village chief was startled by Xia Zhi under the light of the oil lamp, which was about the size of a soybean, on the table.

He was jolted, his eyes widened, and his mouth trembled.

"Ah! This, this..."

"Don't worry, it's all goblin blood."

By the light of the oil lamp, Xia Zhi opened the cloth bag, revealing more than twenty bloody goblin ears inside.

"It's all here."

The village chief cautiously unfolded the cloth bag, carefully took out a goblin ear from it, and examined it closely under the oil lamp with an extremely serious expression.

Then, somewhat embarrassed, he turned his head and said to Xia Zhi.

"Could you please wait a moment? Let me ask one of the hunters from the village to come and take a look. I don't know any goblins!"

Summer Solstice: ...

Hey bro, why are you looking at this so seriously?

He nodded helplessly.

"Ah, yes."

"Okay, I'll go now."

The village chief nodded to Xia Zhi and called out to the room behind him.

"Old woman! Quickly bring some wheat cakes! Go ask Maria next door if she has any eggs!"

Xia Zhi shook her head, stopping the village chief.

In this impoverished little village, even the village chief is not wealthy.

He wouldn't mind having this one meal.

"No need, I have brought some dry food. I'll just ask the village chief for some water."

Xia Zhi's face was hidden inside her helmet, so her expression was not visible.

The village chief hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Hey."

When the village chief went to find the hunter, Xia Zhi also took out some dry rations from her bag.

His provisions were actually wheat cakes.

Compared to regular wheat cakes, which may contain sawdust and stones, his cakes are filled with nuts and dried meat, providing a lot of energy.

"Thank you."

After thanking the village chief's wife, Xia Zhi sat down at the table and ate the wheat cakes with the water she brought him, without changing his expression.

Back then, even though he was running a meat grinder and had to face mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he still ate his three meals a day without fail.

The disciples of the White Bone Sect are all fierce warriors who can eat while dissecting something, let alone just a little blood on their bodies.

Not long after, the hunter who had brought Xia Zhi up the mountain arrived at noon.

He looked at the goblin's ears over and over, then nodded vigorously, his face beaming with joy.

"That's right! Just like what I saw back then! These are goblin ears!"

"Great!"

After the hunter confirmed it, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much, adventurer! I heard that goblins would eat our livestock and kidnap the women in the village. Now that they've been eliminated, the villagers can finally relax!"

"You're welcome, it's just a task."

After the village chief finished speaking, Xia Zhi looked at the hunter and pointed to the hunting bow that was broken in two on the ground to the side.

"I'm sorry I broke your bow. This is compensation."

Xia Zhi took out a coin worth one-tenth of a gold coin and handed it to the hunter, which was roughly enough to buy a decent bow.

The hunter waved his hands repeatedly upon seeing this.

"No need! Adventurer, you were a great help in taking down those goblins!"

Xia Zhi shook her head slightly and placed the coin in the hunter's hand.

"It should."

"...Thank you very much!"

Holding the coin in his hand, the hunter sighed inwardly.

This adventurer is such a kind person!

……

"Thank you so much for your help to the village!"

After washing the bloodstains off his armor with water, he stayed overnight at the village chief's house. The next morning, Xia Zhi embarked on his journey home.

In his bag, there was an extra task completion form with the village chief's signature and fingerprint.

Xia Zhi has now broken through to the second level of Qi Refining, and can now use true qi more extravagantly, making her faster when using the Lightness Technique.

So before noon, Xia Zhi returned to the border town and went to the Adventurers' Guild.

Today is Monday, the day the adventurer's quest log updates.

Therefore, when Xia Zhi entered the Adventurers' Guild, many people turned their attention to her.

"It's Goblin Slayer!"

"Did he just get back?"

For novice adventurers, Goblin Slayer is a legend.

But for advanced adventurers, an adventurer who only hunts goblins is a joke!

"Pfft! Adventurers who specialize in exterminating goblins!"

One of the bronze-level adventurers chuckled, while another patted him on the shoulder helplessly and echoed his sentiment.

"They're silver-level! We bronze-level folks better keep our voices down!"

Upon hearing their conversation, a female knight in the guild frowned in displeasure.

"This kind of person is only a Silver-rank adventurer, just like us! He's a disgrace to Silver-rank adventurers!"

Regardless of what others said, the counter staff's attitude towards Xia Zhi remained consistent.

"You're back, Goblin Slayer San!"

She smiled broadly as she accepted the task completion form and a small bag of goblin ears from Xia Zhi, handing the reward to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi accepted the reward and put it in her backpack, maintaining the ruthless and taciturn manner she had always been known for with Goblin Slayer, ignoring those talkative fellows.

He said to the saleswoman.

Are there any more goblin quests?

"some!"

The clerk nodded as she jogged out from behind the counter, tore a form off the task list, and placed it in front of Xia Zhi.

"It's a village to the south. They've lost one of their cows, and they've found traces of goblins in the area!"

Chapter 7 Rescue

Time flies, and three months have passed since I encountered divine punishment on the summer solstice and escaped to this world.

For the past three months, Xia Zhi has followed the life trajectory of Goblin Slayer, spending his time either killing goblins or resting on the ranch.

In this world, goblins are like weeds; they can't be eradicated.

They're everywhere, nesting here and there; their vitality is even more tenacious than that of cockroaches.

With so many walking resource packs, Xia Zhi feels very happy.

Although goblins are inferior to humans in both soul quality and skeletal strength, with their considerable numbers, Xia Zhi successfully advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining within three months using the Soul Devouring Technique.

Beneath his feet lay the bones of countless goblins.

Xia Zhi's physical abilities have also greatly improved as a result, and he can now rival a true silver-level adventurer in hand-to-hand combat.

At the same time, the short sword in his hand also underwent a complete transformation.

The original silver iron blade has been completely transformed into a bone-like texture, so much so that it doesn't even reflect light, making it an excellent concealed weapon.

Even an ordinary person could cleave through iron armor with a single powerful chop.

Due to the limitations of the material, this short sword has been enhanced to its maximum extent.

Once he has established his foundation, he can use this short sword as part of his magic weapon.

On this day, Xia Zhi arrived at the Adventurers' Guild as usual.

There has been a noticeable increase in the number of quests involving goblins recently, and the frequency of encounters with goblins is much higher than in Goblin Slayer's previous memories.

He walked up to the counter and asked the clerk.

"Any quests related to goblins?"

The clerk at the counter seemed a little dazed, as if she had something on her mind.

She didn't realize it until Xia Zhi walked up to her, and quickly greeted her.

"Goblin Slayer San".

She hesitated for a second or two, as if making a decision, and then spoke to Xia Zhi.

"Actually, a group of new adventurers accepted a goblin quest today. The quest objective is to conquer the goblin cave."

"Although there are four of them, they are all novices at the White Porcelain level. This task is somewhat beyond their capabilities."

The saleswoman looked worried and pleaded with Xia Zhi.

"Goblin extermination is indeed a mission that even a beginner's team can take on. I can't stop them, but I'm a little worried. Could Goblin Slayer go check on them?"

Logically, once an adventurer party accepts a quest, the counter staff should not disclose the quest details to other adventurers.

This is a violation of regulations.

But those adventurers were too reckless and naive, and quite young, so the receptionist didn't want to watch them die.

As for the probability of that team successfully completing the mission—goblins are known as killers of novice adventurers!

Their act of going straight to attack without even conducting any reconnaissance is practically suicide!

During these three months, while fighting goblins, Xia Zhi also rescued women who were imprisoned by goblins.

Even more tragically, several of the women were pregnant.

She's carrying a goblin.

Among the women imprisoned by goblins, besides ordinary people who were kidnapped, several were new adventurers who offered themselves up.

Goblin Cave? There should be quite a few goblins inside.

Xia Zhi nodded to the saleswoman at the counter.

"Well, leave it to me."

……

With Xia Zhi's current stamina, he can run as fast as a tiger or leopard at full speed, and the key is that he can also last a long time.
