"Kil'jaeden, what do you think of these five Goblins I picked? Is there anything else we need?"
Lu Li turned back and glanced at Kil'jaeden, who had been standing by silently for so long that he was practically part of the background, and asked.
Yet before the latter could say anything, Lu Li continued on his own:
"Since there's nothing to add, let's set off as soon as possible."
Kil'jaeden: "..."
He hadn't been given any time to speak at all!
But considering that anything he added would be useless anyway, Kil'jaeden simply remained silent.
After all, regardless of how many Goblins they brought along, he would still have to stall outside the ruins for fifteen cycles.
No difference.
He then led the way in silence.
This so-called unexplored ruin was actually the major discovery Mite had previously described to Lu Li—
Explorers from a small settlement had discovered an underground ruin within the Endless Great Forest, and every clue it revealed pointed toward the gods.
That settlement had actually long since been taken over by Kil'jaeden. It was just that the Goblins inside had been almost completely "used up" over the past two days.
That was why Kil'jaeden had come to the Great Tribe. Rather than merely "replenish a few," he had intended to "take over everything" and directly use all the Goblins of the Great Tribe as expendable material for exploring the ruins.
Who could have expected him to run into Lu Li and Evelina, who had come to the Great Tribe to gather information? He had been forced to change his plans.
"This is the outpost—the small settlement that split off from the Great Tribe."
After traveling for some time, Kil'jaeden stood before a camp steeped in deathly stillness and introduced it to Lu Li and Evelina
