Chapter 37: Ogre? Reincarnating into a Link in the Food Chain
Chapter 37: Ogre? Return to the Food Chain
Jiji~
Chirp~Chirp~
Above the dense jungle, a few birds flew over the trees, and the faint sound of insects could be heard from all directions from time to time.
Tang Zheng's figure was hidden behind the thick tree trunks and bushes, and he looked at this small goblin tribe calmly.
It's normal that there are no "old" goblins.
After all, goblins are omnivorous animals. When food is scarce, some disabled or old goblins will be used as backup food.
But it is a bit strange that there are no young goblins.
Although Tang Zheng may not know much about the goblin race, he did learn a lot about the habits of this kind of monster from the "Rock" team.
June and July are when goblins are most active.
Because this is the time when the goblin race reproduces in large numbers, they not only prey on monsters and beasts in the forest in large numbers, but they will even leave the Tob Forest to prey on the surrounding villagers.
In a small goblin colony.
As the goblins returned with five human corpses, the remaining goblins who had stayed in the tribe immediately shouted excitedly.
The goblins at the back who were carrying the corpse and panting did not put it down immediately, but continued to carry the corpse until they came to the low thatched house built in the center.
The five human corpses were placed at the door of the low thatched house.
Then the group of goblins quickly retreated a distance and looked at the low thatched house with some expectation and fear.
When Tang Zheng saw this scene, his eyes twitched.
bang——
There was a vibration in the low thatched house, like the roar of a wild beast.
next moment!
A figure over two meters tall, with a huge and heavy body and dark yellow skin, crawled out unsteadily from the low thatched house.
Ogre!
Tang Zheng's eyes showed realization.
This was the ogre who almost destroyed the "Rock" team. It was impossible for him not to have a deep impression of him.
"hungry……"
The ogre groaned vaguely, stretched out his two strong arms, supported the ground, and then stood up.
The hairless head is covered with lumps of flesh of varying sizes. Just one look at it can make you feel creepy.
As the head is raised.
On the ogre's ferocious face, a little goblin was being bitten in his mouth.
The little goblin didn't make any sound. It just hung drooping on the other's mouth. It was obvious that it was already dead.
next moment.
squeak--
The palm-sized tongue stretched out, took the half-bitten goblin into its mouth, and began to chew it with a crunching sound.
Light green blood splashed out as the ogre opened his mouth!
All the goblins around saw this scene and stood there trembling, even their breathing became quieter.
Seeing such a barbaric and brutal scene.
Tang Zheng frowned deeply, feeling nauseous inside.
Now he finally understood why there were no cubs in this small goblin tribe.
This ogre is injured!
Although there was a distance between them, Tang Zheng could clearly see that there was a huge wound on the chest of the standing ogre, which was larger than a washbasin. There were a large number of flies flying around the wound!
No wonder the ogre was so slow in crawling out of the low thatched house and standing up.
For monsters like ogres, replenishing large amounts of food is the best way to recover from injuries!
"food!"
The ogre looked at the five human corpses on the ground with a ferocious gaze, then roared with excitement on his face.
Then he immediately raised his hand, grabbed a corpse and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
The hard bones of the human body are like brittle bones in the ogre's mouth.
Seeing this scene, Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath.
"This sense of shock is truly an incredible gift for meeting someone from another world." Tang Zheng murmured to himself in a low voice, and opened his eyes again, revealing a deep coldness in his eyes.
In the world of previous lives, humans were the true masters of nature, and all other creatures were divided only into those that could be eaten and those that could not be eaten.
And the different world before our eyes.
It seemed that humans had once again become part of the food chain, being hunted as prey. This scene gave Tang Zheng an inexplicable shock in his heart!
now!
In addition to the feeling of nausea, Tang Zheng also felt an indescribable sense of shock and anger.
This anger did not come from the ogre's behavior of devouring human corpses.
Rather, it comes from the depths of the soul in the previous life, when humans climbed step by step from eating raw meat and drinking blood to the top of the food chain, and that wildness that is rooted deep in the human soul!
Swish!
The iron sword was raised and held across the chest.
Tang Zheng looked coldly as he carefully observed the ogre in the distance. The ogre was slightly larger than the one that attacked the "Rock" team.
Other than this ogre, the goblins aren't a problem.
This ogre is injured, and now is definitely the best time to deal with it!
only.
Tang Zheng did not rush forward immediately, but waited quietly for an opportunity.
After any living creature is full, its reaction speed and body coordination will be worse than when it is hungry.
It’s not that Tang Zheng is too cautious, but he has to be cautious.
Without any means of detection, Tang Zheng naturally had no way of determining the specific level of this ogre. He could only rely on the wild survival experience mentioned by the adventurers in this world to make a judgment.
As it happened, Tang Zheng had no experience in identifying monsters.
After all, he only has one life, and Tang Zheng doesn't want to lose it due to carelessness or negligence!
This sub-human monster relies on its huge size and strength far exceeding that of humans of the same level. It is generally safe to judge it by being 2 or 3 levels higher.
Tang Zheng recalled the racial information about the ogres in his mind.
Ogres have relatively peculiar racial characteristics. Most ogres will stay with goblins due to racial habits.
The ogres are responsible for fighting, while the goblins provide food, forming a mutually beneficial relationship.
In this forest, most goblin colonies probably have ogres, and the larger the number of goblin colonies, the more ogres they should have.
kindness!
Tang Zheng noticed that the ogre stopped eating after eating three corpses in one breath.
The gradually bulging belly and the somewhat lazy look on its ferocious expression clearly showed that the ogre was full.
Tang Zheng raised the iron sword expressionlessly, and approached the small group of goblins quickly with slow steps!
Since the ogre had finished eating, the other goblins cheered and began to eat some tree fruits, the rotten corpses of small beasts, and even leaves.
