Goblin Dependency Chapter 179 - 179 110 Adeline3

179: Chapter 110 Adeline_3 179: Chapter 110 Adeline_3 A thick and overwhelming sll of blood suddenly invaded his nostrils.

Underfoot, a peculiar sensation of soft mixed with hard ca.

“What is it?”

Abi instinctively looked down.

He saw a goblin’s severed arm, as if reaching out from the muddy ground, sagging by his leg.

In an instant, he felt a chill rush up from his tailbone to his head, shivering all over, and kicked the severed limb away.

And only until now.

Reflecting the faint glow of fungi between the wrinkles of the stone wall and the flas not yet completely extinguished.

Abi finally saw it, located at the deepest part of the nest.

Those countless fragnted corpses imrsed in the pus and blood.

A pungent sll of blood so thick it seed to turn the air crimson, white bone fragnts piercing from the flesh, soft and steaming entrails, skulls with dull eyes rolling like pebbles on the roadside…

A layer of ghastly white covered his face instantly.

Abi only felt an inexplicable urge to vomit rising from the pit of his stomach to his throat.

His Adam’s apple moved up and down twice.

“Ugh…”

…

…

“Ugh…”

A tavern patron with a face gone pale from drinking was holding onto the table with trembling hands.

His body shuddered sharply as if shocked, with tears and snot falling along with the foul vomit spewing from his mouth.

The nauseating sll that had been sealed in his stomach quickly spread in the air.

“Sorry, sorry.”

Two slightly more sober adventurer companions left a few silver and copper coins on the table, supporting the drunkard by the arms, and exited the tavern door.

Xia Nan frowned and withdrew his gaze.

On the wooden table in front of him, a few bowls remained, empty except for food remnants.

As one of the hottest taverns in town, “White Sparrow” almost nightly saw adventurers drinking to the point of oblivion.

He was used to it.

Fortunately, he had already settled his dinner early, or it would have spoiled his appetite.

Now, two days had passed since he returned from the Mist Forest.

The unexpected encounter with the three adventurers outside the goblin nest was but a small episode on the quest path.

No battle happened, not even basic communication.

They just exchanged a glance, following the unwritten rule among adventurers, and then parted ways.

Nothing worth recalling.

In contrast, Xia Nan was more concerned with sothing else now.

Since crossing over, for the first ti, he hadn’t found a suitable mission on the task board.

Those green creatures breeding and spreading everywhere like cockroaches had dramatically declined in number over a few months.

So much so that even the associated bounty tasks issued by the Association had beco highly sought after.

Often they were snatched off the task wall the mont they got posted, with adventurers quickly crowding at the front desk to vie for the missions.

And this was exactly why Xia Nan, after working nonstop, was able to enjoy a rare leisure day of rest.

“No way I wiped them out to extinction, right?”

He joked to himself.

Of course, the probability of such happening, at least with his current strength, was almost zero.

Those bizarre creatures that even the gods couldn’t eradicate weren’t going to be eliminated by a low level adventurer without even a professional level.

Surely there’s so other reason he’s yet unaware of.

Sitting by the tavern table, leaning back in his chair.

Just as he intended to inquire about the situation from the well-inford tavern owner, Chapton.

A conversation from adventurers at the neighboring table suddenly reached his ears.

“Damn it, I think the shopkeepers in town have gone mad for money, charging several copper coins for a re five-foot rope.”

“Prices for other supplies like sleeping bags have doubled compared to when I last bought them.”

“What, think we earn money too easily, milking us dry, damn it!”

Hearing this ntioned, Xia Nan felt quite sympathetic.

In the past two months, with frequent task-taking, he had been purchasing supplies at a high rate.

Almost visiting the general store every few days.

Therefore, he could clearly feel the skyrocketing prices over ti.

He had originally thought it was just the normal end-of-year phenonon in River Valley Town, and hadn’t thought much of it.

But now it seems, there might be sothing amiss?

Seeing that the adventurers at the next table were diving deeper into their discussion, he quietly pricked up his ears.

“Hehe, you’ve just co to River Valley Town this year, so you might not know, there’s a legend behind the sudden price surge of supplies…”

“Tell in detail!”
