Kamadis the Goblin's Luck

Thick, inky fog, carrying a putrid stench, gripped Kamadis's throat like a pair of invisible, gigantic hands.

The short, goblin-like creature was fleeing for its life. Its goblin armor was riddled with holes from the corrosion of the mist, and every breath it took carried a rusty, goblin-like, sweet smell.

A chilling growl echoed through the valley, as if calling from the Jiu You hell.

Kamadis dared not look up, knowing that behind him, pairs of eyes gleaming with a deep blue light were watching him intently, like a shadow.

These Mist Beast are the masters of this Misty Valley. They feed on the flesh and blood of the creatures and take pleasure in torturing their prey.

Suddenly, a piercing wolf howl shattered the silence. Kamadis instinctively rolled to his left, a dark shadow grazing his scalp and leaving a deep, bone-revealing claw mark on the ground.

This is a wolf-shaped Mist Beast!

This beast was three times the size of an ordinary wolf, its fur appearing and disappearing in the mist, like a moving black cloud.

Kamadis drew a short blade from his waist with a backhand motion. This was Martial Weapon he had meticulously crafted from three pieces of fine iron, and it was also his life-saving weapon.

The wolf pounced again, its gaping maw aimed straight for his throat.

The goblin ducked to dodge, then plunged his short blade into the wolf-beast's belly.

However, the Mist Beast's body was like a phantom shadow; the short blade pierced through it without causing any damage.

"Damn it!"

Kamadis cursed under his breath and turned to continue running.

The wolf's claws left three bloody welts on his back, the burning pain making him almost unable to stand.

But he dared not stop, for he knew that if he fell, he would be torn to pieces.

Just then, Kamadis spotted a huge rock ahead. He was overjoyed and decided to use it as cover.

He rushed over in two strides, his body pressed against the rock, panting heavily.

The wolf lost its target and paced around the rocks, letting out angry howls.

Kamadis held his breath, carefully observing the wolf beast's movements.

He discovered that whenever a wolf pounces on its prey, its body momentarily becomes solid.

This is its weakness!

Kamadis gripped his short blade, pondering a countermeasure.

The opportunity has finally arrived!

The wolf attacked again, Kamadis seized the opportunity, leaping out from behind the rock and thrusting his short blade straight into the wolf's heart.

Pfft!

Oh--

This time, the short blade did not miss. The wolf beast let out a miserable howl, and its body turned into a cloud of Black Mist and dissipated into the air.

"Call..."

Kamadis a sigh of relief and was about to relax his guard when he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shake.

He looked down and saw a crack in the ground, from which an Earth Dragon Beast burst forth.

This Earth Dragon Beast was covered in hard scales, and its tail was like a steel whip, emitting a piercing whistling sound in the air.

Kamadis dared not be careless and raised his short blade, ready for battle.

The Earth Dragon Beast opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a cloud of foul-smelling venom.

He quickly dodged to the side, the venom corroding a large pit in the ground.

"We can't keep passively taking hits like this; we must take the initiative. Otherwise, the outcome is hard to predict."

The thought crossed Kamadis's mind, and he began to move quickly around the Earth Dragon Beast, searching for its weakness.

Although the scales of the Earth Dragon Beast are hard, its belly is its weak point.

However, attacking its belly was no easy task. The Earth Dragon Beast's tail swept across relentlessly, forcing Kamadis to retreat in defeat and unable to get close.

Just as Kamadis was frowning and feeling troubled, he noticed that when the Earth Dragon Beast turned around, its tail would pause for a moment.

Now!

He seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and stabbed the Earth Dragon Beast in the abdomen with his short blade.

The Earth Dragon Beast, in pain, twisted its body wildly, flinging Kamadis away.

Kamadis fell to the ground with a thud, feeling as if his internal organs were about to shift.

He struggled to his feet, only to find the Earth Dragon Beast pouncing at him again.

He gritted his teeth, gripped his short blade tightly, and stared intently at the trajectory of the Earth Dragon Beast as it pounced.

Just as the Earth Dragon Beast was about to pounce on him, Kamadis dodged to the side, his short blade piercing through the Earth Dragon Beast's jaw and going straight to the back of its head.

Roar--

The Earth Dragon Beast let out a mournful cry and its body crashed to the ground.

Kamadis slumped to the ground, as if all his strength had been drained.

He looked at the corpse of the Earth Dragon Beast, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Suddenly, he noticed a seven-colored light flashing beside the corpse of the Earth Dragon Beast.

He forced himself to walk over and saw a crystal-clear, Seven-Colored Spirit Pearls lying quietly on the ground.

"Hahaha..."

Kamadis couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter filled with the joy of surviving a disaster and gratitude for his fate.

He picked up the Seven-Colored Spirit Pearls and held it tightly in his hand.

This spirit pearl might change his fate and free him from the lowly status of the goblin race.

However, Kamadis's laughter was quickly interrupted.

A series of rapid footsteps came from afar, attracting more Mist Beast to the sound of the battle.

Startled, he disregarded his need to rest and dragged his injured body toward a narrow crevice deep in the valley.

The crevice in the rock was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

Kamadis squeezed in sideways, while the Mist Beast behind him roared angrily, but could not enter the crevice.

He leaned against the stone wall, listening to the sounds of the Mist Beast outside, secretly glad that he had found this hiding place.

Kamadis looked down at the Seven-Colored Spirit Pearls orb in his hand, its light shimmering in the darkness.

He quickly put it away; this thing was too dazzling and too likely to attract the attention of demonic beasts, and it would also easily reveal his location.

As the spirit orb was put away, his hiding place was plunged into darkness, while outside, the Mist Beast lingered, roared, and then gradually dispersed.

Call--

Kamadis let out another long sigh of relief. He was finally safe. He didn't know what the bead in his hand was for, but he had a feeling that it might be a key token to some place.

When he left the clan's territory and entered this Ancient Secret Realm, the clan chief told him that in order to enter the land of the Overlord's inheritance, he must obtain the key.

The keys were ancient, simple Token that could be obtained from the monsters in the mist.

He hasn't won a single prize yet, which is making him a little anxious.

He cautiously peered out for a while, and finding no danger, he quietly emerged from the crevice between the rocks and headed towards the previously predetermined location.

Whoosh!

Two sharp, whistling sounds, carrying a foul stench, rushed toward him.

Holy crap!

These monsters are too cunning; they actually ambushed him.

Kamadis rolled away like a lazy donkey, dodging the two attacks. He then brandished his short blade and, relying on his instincts, slashed it sharply in a certain direction.

A head flew up, and then with a thud, the sound of something falling to the ground reached his ears.

Kamadis had no time to pay attention and lunged to the left.

The spot where he had just stood was slammed into a deep crater by a giant claw.

Kamadis's eyes immediately turned red. This is too much! Just because the tiger isn't showing its power doesn't mean it's a pushover!

He brandished his short blade a few times, then fled fiercely in the opposite direction from the Mist Beast...
