I Live on the Land in Global Games-Chapter 108 - 107: Battle with a Wolf Body
Chapter 108: Chapter 107: Battle with a Wolf Body
Mu Ying observed for a while. Although there were numerous goblin corpses here, there was no presence of a goblin leader.
The few people rummaging through bags, although bloated with bloodstains seeping out, didn’t seem very heavy, indicating that the items inside must not weigh much.
From this, it seemed that their monetary gains weren’t significant; the bags were likely filled with Blood Crow corpses.
The small goblin tribe she had encountered before had a specific box for holding coins. This tribe was much larger; wouldn’t there be more?
Mu Ying looked towards the largest house in the tribe and walked towards it.
The few scavengers silently retreated a good distance, not daring to approach this White Wolf that had suddenly appeared.
Mu Ying nodded at them, then entered that large house.
"What does it mean when it nods its head?"
"How would I know? Just keep scavenging; someone will probably come soon."
"Got it!"
The house also looked dirty and cluttered. One could clearly see a pile of hay with a blood-clotted animal hide cushioning it. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
One could see to the end of the house at a glance. No wonder those few hadn’t noticed this place; they must have already checked it.
Mu Ying’s ears twitched. Besides the sound of the people outside rummaging through items, there was also the sound of deliberately lightened footsteps coming from—the pile of hay?
She walked over and used her paws to part the thick pile of hay, revealing a trapdoor underneath.
She pushed open the trapdoor, revealing a pitch-black underground chamber.
Mu Ying squinted at the entrance, listening carefully. There was only one breathing sound below.
The underground chamber was shallow; she could still see the dirt floor clearly—it was obviously dug crudely.
Considering the intelligence of goblins, she doubted they had the ability to set up traps in the chamber and felt completely at ease. She jumped into the chamber.
The chamber was small, and a short figure screamed and swung a nail head hammer at her.
Mu Ying had anticipated this, rolled swiftly dodging the blow, and quickly counterattacked.
The goblin leader was solidly slammed to the ground by her, the hand holding the hammer scratched deeply by her claws, releasing a painful cry and letting go of the weapon.
The pain brought the goblin leader to the verge of extreme fear, but survival instincts compelled it to desperately look for a chance to escape. It tried hard to flip Mu Ying off itself.
Mu Ying gave it another claw, jumped away, and firmly blocked the entrance to the chamber. The nail head hammer was also pushed behind her.
Though the goblin was small, it had decent attributes. It was suitable to practice her combat skills in Wolf Form.
Weaponless and severely injured, the goblin’s every attempt to break out was thwarted.
Goblins were naturally cowardly creatures. Even though the goblin leader was a bit stronger than ordinary goblins, its courage was now completely exhausted.
It charged again, and as the White Wolf extended its claw, it stretched its own neck forward.
Mu Ying: ...
It was rare to encounter a somewhat decent opponent, but why was it so resigned to fate?
Blood splattered on her, dirtying her fur.
Goblin leader: At least I die quick, this demon can’t torment me anymore.
A flicker of joy suddenly burst in its eyes, then it fell silent forever.
"Is anyone there?"
Hearing the voice from above ground, Mu Ying decided to gather anything valuable from the goblin, then packed up the boxes in the corner.
With a leap, she returned to the surface.
She faced a few people, their eyes meeting in mutual contemplation.
Mu Ying: The goblins died just in time.
Others: This wolf is pretty fierce! Did that delicate girl really transform into this?
"Mu Ying, is that you?" Niu Shun asked nervously.
Mu Ying glanced at him. She hadn’t hidden from anyone when she transformed, so there was nothing to ask.
She figured these people had also come to check if there was anything left behind in the big house. Now she was covered in blood and filthy. She didn’t want to transform back directly; being human with all that gunk would be even more disgusting.
She just nodded her head and then leapt towards the window, leaving the place.
"I was really scared it would leap at me and bite," Guan Hai patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wishful thinking on your part. Even if she turned into a wolf, she’s still just a little girl. Bite you?" Niu Shun said disdainfully.
"Hey! How can you say that!"
"Stop nagging, let’s go down and check."
"Hmph!"
...
"Oh my, there’s still a goblin hiding here!" Guan Hai was startled, initially thinking this was a hiding spot for the goblins’ things, but it turned out to be for hiding themselves.
Niu Shun checked the goblin’s body. "It must have been killed by Mu Ying. This girl is really ferocious! There’s nothing else here, let’s go. It’s more practical to pick up Blood Crow bodies outside."
Mu Ying left the goblin tribe, found a small creek, and cleaned her fur thoroughly.
After her fur dried, she transformed back into human form and then cleaned her body with the Cleaning Technique. She felt like she had been rejuvenated.
By this time, it had gotten completely dark; it was time to return.
She took out her flying broom and flew south.
Back at the Tree House, she bumped into Gungun who was playing with coins.
The huge jar for collecting territory income was already bursting at the seams, with some coins spilled around it.
Gungun was sitting atop a pile of copper coins, playing.
The large jar connected to the territory mailbox was also bulging out.
Mu Ying checked the territory page and learned that many people had deposited their spare change in the Identity Card.
Of course, they thought it was stored in the Identity Card, but in reality, it was transferred here.
On her territory interface, she could also use the Identity Card facility feature to view the information and monetary transactions of the residents bound to the Identity Card. Having the Identity Card meant she had complete control over the territory’s residents.
Using the deposits of these residents, she could occasionally borrow a small part in emergencies, as long as she could promptly replace it, essentially turning this into a bank operation.
With the accumulation of small change becoming somewhat inconvenient at the Tree House, Mu Ying decided to transport the two large jars and their contents to the Plantation.
She expanded the wooden house in the Plantation by adding three more small rooms.
She set up the transfer points for the territory deposits, territory income, and the territory mailbox in these three rooms, so she no longer had to worry about the jars overflowing.
She also opened the goblin leader’s Box and found quite a few coins and some goblin equipment inside, which were of average Quality but brand new.
After maximizing the synthesis of the coins, there were about twenty Gold Coins, fifty Hard silver coins, and thirty to forty copper coins.
Mu Ying placed all the Gold Coins in the room for territory income and only carried the smaller silver and copper coins for personal expenses.
The Gold Coin count in the territory income area had already surpassed seventy.
The total money in the territory deposits was not even close to this amount.
It seemed that the living conditions of her territory’s residents weren’t affluent enough to save much money.
Considering this, Mu Ying felt she needed to work hard to create job opportunities for the residents. With a stable income, life would be much better.
