Chapter 1093 - 595: Air Raid Operation [Subscription Request] [5K]_2

As he vaguely saw dried meat resembling thighs and arms being sun-dried, he immediately understood something.

This sun-dried meat must be the goblins’ usual rations.

Goblins are not picky eaters; they can even eat rotten meat.

However, surplus food still needs to be preserved.

Otherwise, it would become a puddle of rot over time.

And sun-drying is one of the simplest and easiest methods.

Dried meat can be stored much longer than fresh meat.

Even if there is slight spoilage, it won’t hinder goblins from eating it.

At least it won’t completely rot, causing the meat to go to waste.

Besides these situations, Zong Shen also discovered one more thing.

That is a few hundred meters away from the tribe, a group of goblins numbering over a hundred are busy working.

The trees that originally grew in that location have been cut down, turning it into a clearing.

The goblins are transporting bones, stones, and wood from inside and outside the tribe into the clearing.

In the center of the clearing, a large pit has been dug out.

Even from Zong Shen’s perspective, it remained prominent.

At the four corners of the pit, there are irregular stone columns standing two meters high and half a meter wide.

Four irregular stone columns stand upright, each column has three or four goblins with iron chisels and hammers knocking and scraping, seemingly doing some sculpting and engraving.

They piled bones around the stone columns, and used stones to create a circle in the deep pit.

As for wood, it was used to construct the platform.

The platform covers the stone columns and the deep pit, leaving a corresponding opening in the middle.

Currently, the platform is only about half completed.

Some goblins are bringing buckets to pour a liquid resembling fresh blood at the base of the stone columns.

This scene indeed looks rather peculiar.

These goblins are a bunch of scoundrels filled with bad intentions.

Zong Shen does not believe they are doing legitimate infrastructure work.

"What are these guys up to?"

"Building a new sentry tower?"

Zong Shen aimed his binoculars at the clearing, feeling somewhat perplexed.

According to his estimation, the radius of the pit is at least over three meters.

It’s not like they’re building ordinary huts or sentry towers.

Adhering to the principle of asking the guide when in doubt, Zong Shen immediately inquired the guide module.

"What’s happening in that clearing?"

(The goblins are constructing the altar for the Evil God

With enough offerings of flesh and soul, they can summon the will of the Evil God from the altar

Within the clan will appear a goblin hero endowed with special evil power

This type of special goblin hero will possess greater strength and reproductive ability

Becoming the breeding machine for the clan’s expansion

It can mate with any breeding-capable non-human female to give birth to evil-powered goblins

Compared to ordinary Forest Goblins, the evil-powered goblins are more than half as strong

The guide hints emerged before his eyes, each character shimmering with faint golden light, automatically drawing Zong Shen’s attention to the hint subtitles.

After reading the guide hints, Zong Shen thought to himself and made the subtitles disappear.

He then gazed again with his binoculars at the yet-to-be-constructed altar.

These goblins surely have an array of tricks.

Indeed, they have developed a certain degree of social structure and organization.

The purpose of constructing this altar for the Evil God is simply for reproduction.

Through sacrificial summoning to draw the will of the Evil God, thereby obtaining a goblin hero with evil power.

This goblin hero will breed more robust goblins for the clan, thereby strengthening the Goblin Tribe’s power and allowing the tribe to break through development bottlenecks.

From previous information, Zong Shen already knew that goblin reproduction speed is quite astonishing.

But the degree of degeneration in the clan is also high.

With generations of reproduction, new goblins’ power will become increasingly weaker.

The best way to counteract clan degeneration is to undergo a round of strengthening.

At the very least, this would ensure decades of stable development.

Zong Shen combined new guide hints with previously known information.

Immediately, he reached a conclusion.

This also explains why the Goblin Tribe’s aggressiveness has increased dramatically recently.

They need to continuously dispatch goblin squads to hunt wild beasts, magical beasts, and humans.

To serve as blood sacrifices offered to the Evil God!

Thus, these goblins are recklessly attacking Lord’s territory in the forests.

Even showing up in the mines and meadows outside the forests.

During the Frosty Winter Challenge, when Zong Shen discovered goblins on the outskirts of the territory, he was surprised.

Since Korby discovered the traces of the goblin tribe, he already knew the goblin location was in the Northern Forest several dozen kilometers away.

His territory was so distant from them that, logically, it should not be within the hunting range.

Without mounts, those goblins would need to trek for almost half a day to cross dozens of kilometers.

Yet, the goblins indeed appeared within the territory, even attempting to infiltrate.

If he had not eliminated the goblin squad with thunderous might and dismantled the goblins’ subsequent surveillance methods, the goblins would likely have proactively attacked his territory.

Now, he realized the goblins’ strong aggressive intent was due to completing the blood sacrifice!

This concerns the reproduction of the goblin tribe.

Zong Shen quickly discerned the cause and effect.

His eyebrows raised, the corner of his mouth curved into a small arc, revealing a mischievous smile.
