Inside the cave, Zixin was sitting cross legged with his eyes closed. For the past five days, he’d been trying everything to get rid of the red energy or suppress it but all failed. The sole mission of this red energy was to ensure that Zixin remained ordinary, except for his heart, everything else about him was ordinary. But Zixin didn’t give up and continued to search for clues.
Just then, a huge tunnel opened up above him and he quickly rolled to the side and multiple carcasses fell from the tunnel. Seeing such a huge number of dead animals, Zixin wasn’t excited but instead became wary.
"Poldi, explain. Where did you get so many carcasses in such a short period of time?"
Poldi then explained to Zixin all she’d witnessed and recorded down, including the three threats inside the Goblin Village.
"From what you said, I can conclude that these bipedal beings are preparing a sacrificial ritual or maybe preparing for winter but it’s not cold at all. After I make a full recovery, we’ll go there together." said Zixin before stuffing his mouth with raw meat. His muscles and flesh were regrowing and his blood was being replenished as he ate.
Four days later, a six armed naked man was walking in the forest like he was taking a stroll in his garden. But if one looked carefully then you’d see that this naked man was actually following a spider that jumped from tree to tree with minimal effort.
Soon, the Goblin Village wooden walls were visible to Zixin so he no longer walked forward. Instead, the ground in front of him opened up and he entered it. He then transformed into his larvae state and moved through the tunnel easily until they were below the Goblin Village.
Zixin was very close to the surface of the ground, just five meters below. With such close proximity to the surface, he could hear everything happening above him.
Above ground, when the sun had completely set, the carcasses the goblins had been collecting this whole time were now piled up to create a mountain of corpses. The goblins knelt around this mountain of corpses in worship. At the top of these carcasses, the skulls and bones wearing Goblin Shaman stood there, speaking in a tongue none could understand while the old man and orc man stood guard.
The Goblin Shaman continued to chant in its mysterious language until something strange occurred. The three moons had risen and all could gaze at their beauty as they hung in the night sky. A cold wind blew as darkness began to contaminate the three full moons. One moon became an eclipse, the second moon became a Blood moon and the third moon turned into an emerald moon.
These three moons then shone on the goblin village, the mountain of corpses then melted and turned into black sand.
"We need more sacrifices!" said the Goblin Shaman and immediately, the old man and the orc started slaughtering the goblins and piled them up to create another mountain of corpses. The goblins didn’t resist or try to run away but instead embraced death with open arms.
About half of the goblin population was exterminated, mostly female goblins and old ones. After that, their corpses also turned into black sand. The Goblin Shaman continued to chant and something extraordinary happened. From the black sand, a seed appeared and absorbed a third of the black sand.
The second thing to appear was a drop of blood, it also absorbed a third of the black sand. The last thing to appear was a nymph,it greedily ate the black sand to the last grain and hovered in the air. The seed was red, the blood was green and the nymph was pitch black.
The Goblin Shaman took the seed and left with his goblins, the orc took the locust and also left the village and finally, the old man took the drop of blood and also went in a different direction. Soon, the goblin village was completely empty and it was in this emptiness that a larvae head rose from the ground.
"Poldi, we must retrieve that nymph!" said Zixin before he returned to the ground and the hole closed behind him.
The orc was running away at full speed and he was extremely fast. As he ran, he was holding a wooden case with the nymph inside. After running for a few hours, he reached his location, a cave entrance hidden with tree branches. After he entered the cave, he closed the cave with a heavy boulder. Only now did heave a sigh of relief. Gently opened the wooden case and looked at the nymph.
"Now that I have you, it’s now only a matter of time. Soon, I shall wipe out all the Mages from across the world, hehe. I just have to get myself a Mage corpse." said the orc with a dark expression. He then lay flat on the ground and went to sleep.
About two hours later, there was a small opening on the ground as a blue furred golden abdomen spider crawled out. It was completely silent and in full on stealth mode but...
Baby Poldi quickly dodged the attack and jumped back, creating some distance between her and her opponent.
"So, you were the one making my senses tingle. Little yet deadly." said the orc as it looked at Baby Poldi. Baby Poldi raised her legs like she was dancing before she leapt towards the orc’s face. The orc slapped outwards, pushing Poldi baby but the bones of his hand were broken.
’WHAT?!’ The orc was shocked but it couldn’t revel in shock because Poldi jumped towards him again and the orc slapped out with another hand and it too was broken.
The tattoo patterns covering his body began to glow in a red light and its hands were healed.
"COME!" said the orc with valiance and Poldi jumped at it again, the orc was about to clasp its hands together when Poldi shot out a golden web and changed direction. After that, she crawled towards the orc and in retaliation, it tried to stomp her but she was too agile and too fast. She jumped onto the orc’s leg and bit it before jumping back.
The ground opened up again and Poldi pulled out a golden rope completely made up of gold silk. It was very strong and durable. The orc could no longer feel its leg which shocked it.
Poldi swung her rope like a whip and swung it at the orc. The orc blocked with his arms but that was a bad move because the whip tore through his flesh and bones, inflicting unimaginable pain.
"AAAGHHH!!!" screamed the orc as it lost its balance, blood poured from its severed arms but not too much as the wound was regenerating.
"WAIT! LET’S TALK ABO..."
