"The territories of the Tengu are located near Demon Lord Frey's country."
Snow Empress memorized the map of the Cardinal World: "Bai Lao and the others will probably have to travel for a while, so it definitely won't be that fast."
"Then let's wait a bit longer, until the Goblins submit."
Bai Luo also took this time to continue researching the Traveler's abilities.
He discovered that the Traveler's ability to open gates to other worlds wasn't entirely random; there were some controllable aspects.
For example, Bai Luo didn't directly use the Traveler, but instead dispersed magic essence to capture world gates wandering in the void.
During this process, Bai Luo could obtain some fragmented information, thereby making a preliminary judgment about what kind of world was on the other side.
Additionally, this usage would not consume the Traveler's travel opportunities.
Bai Luo didn't need to worry about encountering danger and being unable to use the Traveler.
"Alright, let me see what the next world will be like."
Bai Luo closed his eyes, his consciousness completely focused on the Traveler's ability.
The next moment, a large number of images flashed through his mind at an extremely fast speed, including worlds inhabited by countless monsters, and universes distorted by strange rules.
All kinds of information surged like a tide, forcing Bai Luo to actively disconnect.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Opening his eyes, Bai Luo gasped for breath, a large amount of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Are you okay?!"
Seeing this, Snow Empress quickly stepped forward to check.
His condition was most keenly felt by Ice Empress, Egui Peng, and other dependents, but fortunately, Bai Luo replied that he was cultivating, which appeased them.
"I'm fine."
Bai Luo smiled slightly at Snow Empress and said, "Good luck, I successfully captured an interesting world."
"An interesting world?"
"Not yet confirmed."
The new otherworld Bai Luo discovered was a bit special: "It has a very strong protective wall; I can't enter it freely like the previous few worlds."
Of the three methods, connecting with that world and leading Bai Luo in was impossible.
Just now, as soon as the Traveler's ability touched that side, the world's will there reacted violently.
Clearly, the other side was unwilling to interact with outsiders and just wanted to close its doors and live its own life.
"Forcibly intervening is also impossible."
"That world is very vast."
Bai Luo wasn't sure how vast the other side was, but in terms of sheer size, it was no less than the Cardinal World.
Therefore, trying to sneak in like in the Douluo World was very difficult.
"Then there's only the second method?"
"No."
Bai Luo shook his head and said, "If it really is the situation I'm thinking of, entering directly with my true body would be too dangerous."
"So, we still have to use the second method, but in a different, safer way."
"A safer way?"
Snow Empress had already received the information about the new world that Bai Luo shared with her.
And after learning about the situation there, Snow Empress, like Bai Luo, dared not underestimate the vastness and danger of that world in the slightest.
"What should we do?"
"Remote projection."
If it were other worlds, remote projection would definitely not work.
But in this new world, Bai Luo's Traveler had a high probability of finding a loophole.
"I need to prepare."
"Not just me, but also you, Ice Empress, Peng Peng, Zhu Cai, and the others."
Bai Luo: "I plan to bring everyone to fight this battle together!"
"Interesting."
Snow Empress realized what Bai Luo wanted to do, and she smiled: "The new world should have many abilities suitable for you to acquire."
"Ah."
Bai Luo: "Be patient and wait for an opportunity for us to descend."
While Bai Luo and Snow Empress discussed how to deal with the new otherworld, the Ogre team following Toreni had already arrived near the Goblin village.
The Goblin settlement was not too far from the Great Ogre Clan's village.
At the travel speed of an A-rank Ogre, a day and a night were enough to cross half of the Jura Great Forest, let alone such a short distance.
They set off at noon and reached their destination by evening.
"So scary."
"Why are such powerful Demon People coming here?"
"Is the village doomed?"
At this moment, inside the village, a group of Goblins, whose height was no different from human children, held short sticks and rusty short blades, staring in terror at Sakurako and the others who had appeared.
"Who, who are you?!"
Even though his body trembled, the old Goblin still asked, "Please don't harm us! There's nothing in the village. If you need food, we'll obediently hand it over!"
"Is this the current state of the Goblins?"
"They are truly quite destitute 0...."
To be honest, Sakurako was very disappointed.
The girl brushed her silver-white long hair, and despite her dissatisfaction, she stepped forward and declared: "I am an envoy from the Ogre Clan, here to convey the will of my Lord!"
"If you are willing to submit to my Lord, you will be granted protection and food!"
"Eh?"
The Goblin village chief thought he had misheard. He looked at his son, a young-looking, skinny Goblin: "What did she say? Submit?"
"Yes, old man."
His tone carried a hint of excitement: "She also said she can give us food and protection!"
"Is that true?"
"Is there really someone willing to protect us?"
"The Ogre Clan, they are very powerful monsters."
"..."
For the Goblin Clan, submitting to the strong held no psychological pressure whatsoever.
Rather, if anyone was willing, the Goblins would not refuse to submit to them.
Unfortunately, no one looked down on the Goblins.
Goblins were almost at the bottom of the monster hierarchy, with their existence value so low that it didn't even reach 1000.
During the great outbreak period, the individual existence value of Goblins once exceeded 1000, reaching E-rank.
However, this was also the Goblins' last glory.
As time passed, the Goblins in the forest, 0.4 of 8000, had a maximum magic essence of only about 500.
500 magic essence, firmly F-rank.
An ordinary farmer could easily beat four or five of them without weapons.
What use were such weak monsters, besides wasting food?
"Too weak."
"For the Lord to be willing to protect such weaklings, what great benevolence this is."
The three Ogres who came with Sakurako lamented Bai Luo's benevolence, that he was even willing to recruit Goblins.
"Enough!"
Sakurako interrupted the three, admonishing them: "You cannot question the Lord's decision!"
"Yes."
The three quickly bowed their heads in apology.
Sakurako was in charge of this small team.
Their mission was to protect Sakurako and ensure the safe return of this group of Goblins to their village.
