The Giant Wolf's body was also covered in dense wounds.

Its thick fur had been split open, revealing the bright red flesh beneath.

Zong Shen focused his gaze to check their attributes.

Colby's own health remained at two-thirds.

The adult Giant Wolf Fenrir's health was the same, having lost about one-third.

One had to know that Fenrir had an armor rating as high as 35 points and health as high as 435; it was a bona fide tank and meat shield.

The fact that it had lost over a hundred points of health was enough to show just how intense the battle they had encountered was.

"What is the story behind the wounds on your bodies?"

Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold tone.

"My Lord, during this exploration, I made several major discoveries!"

"The wounds on my body came from a Goblin Tribe in the mountain forest to the north of the territory! That Goblin Tribe is quite large, and they have built watchtowers on the exterior, so I was unable to observe them from up close!"

"Additionally, there are experienced scouts within this Goblin Tribe."

"I was discovered by a scout while wandering the perimeter, and then I was besieged by Goblin Archers, Goblin Axethrowers, and Goblin Mages from the tribe."

"I immediately chose to ride Fenrir and hide in the woods. After some maneuvering, I finally managed to escape their Pursuit."

"To be safe, Fenrir and I took a very long detour before circling back to the territory."

"Just a single encounter was enough to leave behind these injuries..."

Colby knelt on one knee, bowing his head, appearing somewhat dejected.

Zong Shen nodded and reached out to pat his broad shoulder.

The exploration range of the Wolf Cavalry was indeed vast.

"Get up, let's go to the thatched shed to talk; you can slowly recover health points there."

"Luna, go and help me fetch some Moon Spring Water using an empty clay pot."

Upon hearing this, Luna immediately rode her Black Panther into the courtyard.

The farmers were also very self-aware and walked out of the thatched shed, giving up their spots.

Zong Shen led Colby and the Giant Wolf into the thatched shed.

Resting in the thatched shed allowed for the recovery of 1 health point per hour; it was better than nothing, at least.

At this moment, Luna had already fetched the Moon Spring Water and handed it to Zong Shen.

"Come on, both of you have some."

Luna had brought about 150ml of Moon Spring Water, and each milliliter of Moon Spring Water could restore 1.2 points of health.

This amount alone was the output of the Moon Well for three hours.

From the time the Moon Well was built at noon until now, it had only produced about 300ml, so this single use would consume half of it for Colby and the Giant Wolf Fenrir.

Yet, Zong Shen did not feel the slightest bit of heartache.

Colby was a qualified warrior who had been wounded precisely to complete the exploration mission he had assigned.

Therefore, Zong Shen would not treat him poorly.

No matter how precious the Moon Spring Water was, it could not compare to a loyal warrior.

Colby took the earthenware pot with great care.

He did not drink it himself.

Instead, he fed a large portion of it to his mount, the Giant Wolf Fenrir, first.

The Moon Spring Water was truly miraculous.

The effect was almost immediate.

The wounds on the Giant Wolf's body began to close at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, Colby drew the Wolf Rider Scimitar from his waist and chopped off the arrowhead of the arrow that had already pierced through his shoulder.

Then, gritting his teeth, he put down the scimitar, grabbed the tail of the arrow with his other hand, and pulled the broken shaft out of his muscle with a fierce tug.

Instantly, a spray of blood spurted out.

Colby exerted a slight force with his arm, causing the muscles to contract and forcibly press the wound shut.

Only then did he lift the earthenware pot and down the remaining small mouthful of Moon Spring Water in one gulp!

What a savage, even more ruthless than a ruthless person!

Zong Shen watched in stunned silence; Colby's method of First Aid was far too hardcore.

Moreover, he did not let out a single grunt or groan throughout the entire process, and he did not even furrow his brow once.

His face looked as if it had been carved from stone—rugged, tough, and brave!

After the First Aid was finished.

The Giant Wolf lay on the wooden floor of the shed, fast asleep.

Colby sat cross-legged.

He then began to report the results of today's exploration.

"My Lord!"

"Besides that Goblin Tribe, I also discovered the existence of some ruins."

"In the northwest, within the dense forest beside the mountain path, I found an abandoned temple."

"It is right in the middle of the woods, completely covered by vines and moss. I saw two treasure chests inside, but unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open them or bring them back."

"Furthermore, if you follow the mountain path in the northwest to the summit, there is an abandoned outpost with a watchtower. This outpost has been occupied by a group of traveling merchants, so I did not make contact with them for the time being."

"Located on the cliff between the mountain forest and the grassland to the northeast, there is a mine. We might be able to put it back into use, but there is a five-meter-long Blood-Toothed Wild Boar wandering outside the mine; it seems to be its territory."

"As for that Goblin Tribe, it is located deep in the mountains to the due north and is also very well hidden. I've alerted them this time, and I don't know if they will send people to explore this grassland."

Colby said with some concern.

Zong Shen nodded and waved his hand dismissively.

"Colby, you did well."

"As for those goblins, it should be fine for now. The distance between the two places is not short; even if those goblins send out scouts, it will take them several days to discover this place."

"As long as it isn't a large force coming over, we can handle them."

"Hmph, once our territory grows stronger, we will definitely have to take those goblins down a peg."

Zong Shen shook his fist, his tone grim.

Damn goblins, daring to bully his subordinates!

It seems that the group of goblins has occupied that mountain range to the due north.

As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain; as the territory gradually expands, they will clash sooner or later.

Discovering them early means being able to prepare early!

Zong Shen had already silently marked that Goblin Tribe as a hostile target.

He had been transmigrated for a full day now.

His acceptance of this world was growing higher and higher.

In a world where Wolf Cavalry and Night Huntress could appear, the existence of goblins was nothing out of the ordinary.

Goblins are a type of legendary humanoid creature with green skin all over their bodies.

They look quite similar to orcs and gnomes.

They generally have long, pointed ears.

"Goblin" is a creature from Western mythology, and there are relevant descriptions and records of them in many games, animations, and stories.

Humans are often filled with hostility toward those humanoid creatures.

The reverse is also true.

At this moment, the Roasted Wolf Meat in the stove had finished cooking.

Cooking on the stove requires no personal effort.

As long as you provide the ingredients and select the dish to be cooked, it can be completed automatically.

Zong Shen took out the finished Roasted Wolf Meat.

He handed a piece to Colby, and left behind a bucket of clear water and a piece of Unknown Dried Meat.

These were prepared for Fenrir.

"Colby, you did a great job; get some good rest tonight."

Zong Shen offered Colby a word of encouragement.

Afterward, he walked out of the thatched hut, ready to distribute the food.
