Squeak, squeak~
The Bucktoothed Rabbit was startled at first, then curiously eyed the Green Slime. Seeing that it was the same color as the grass he loved to eat, he leaned in and sniffed it.
Crunch~
Crunch~
The Bucktoothed Rabbit took two bites and discovered that the Green Slime's flesh was as tender and smooth as jelly, sliding down his throat without needing to be chewed. His eyes lit up, and he began to feast.
"This Bucktoothed Rabbit has quite an appetite!"
Qin Feng, observing from behind the tree bark, saw that in just a moment, the Bucktoothed Rabbit had devoured more than half of the Slime.
However, the good times didn't last. The Bucktoothed Rabbit's expression suddenly changed as if he had eaten a bitter gall, and he put on a pained face.
Ugh~
The next moment, the Bucktoothed Rabbit started running wildly, vomiting as he ran, spraying large amounts of Slime flesh and undigested grass all over the ground.
Qin Feng followed closely and soon noticed that the Bucktoothed Rabbit had vomited out a wooden vine ring inlaid with a green gem.
However, the Bucktoothed Rabbit at this moment had no time to worry about these things, still uncontrollably vomiting and moving further and further away.
Seeing this, Qin Feng immediately stepped forward and picked up the ring from the ground.
[Wooden Vine Ring (Elite): A merchant's ring issued by the Western Elf Tribe. With this, one can enter the Western Elf Tribe for trade.
One: Can cast a basic cleansing spell on oneself once daily.
Two: Can cast a basic recovery spell once daily.
Price: 300 copper coins]
"This ring is quite valuable. It should be the accompanying trade certificate that significantly increases its value. Should I just keep it and sell it?"
Qin Feng's heart tightened. After a moment of contemplation, he decided to visit the Goblin Merchant first before making a decision.
He darted towards the Goblin Merchant's direction, and before long, Qin Feng hid behind a piece of rubble, finally seeing the Goblin Merchant Husei.
Although their skin was also dark green, Goblins and Goblins were still very different.
The Goblin Merchant Husei was hunched over, his skin wrinkled like dried toad skin. He wore a greasy leather armor and carried a large iron chest on his back. He sat on a large rock, resting.
His eyes, which should have been full of greed and calculation, now showed a hint of impatience and helplessness.
To Qin Feng's surprise, this Goblin Merchant had even hired a guard.
Behind Husei was a humanoid creature, less than a meter tall, completely covered in iron armor, guarding the spot without moving an inch.
"Indeed, if he didn't have some assurance, how could a Goblin Merchant possibly enter a mountain range teeming with magical beasts?"
Just as Qin Feng was about to approach the Goblin Merchant to talk, a noisy commotion suddenly came from afar.
Looking in that direction, he saw a team of creatures, also entirely green-skinned, short in stature, but skinny to the bone, emerging from the forest.
Except for a few leaders wearing leather armor and fur, most of these creatures only used crude furs to cover their private parts. They were clearly the legendary Goblins.
The leader of this Goblin squad came before the Goblin Merchant, seemingly discussing something.
Before long, as the Goblin squad leader waved his hand, the Goblins behind him brought a pile of equipment such as iron armor, iron swords, necklaces, and iron shields, clearly stripped from Adventurers.
Afterward, the Goblin Merchant also took out some bottles and jars from the large iron chest on his back and handed them to the Goblin squad. He even took out a silver coin from the leather pouch at his waist and reluctantly gave it to the Goblin squad leader.
After completing the transaction, the Goblin Merchant seemed to be discussing something else with the Goblin squad leader.
A moment later, the Goblin squad leader nodded and directed a portion of the Goblins to scatter, seemingly searching for something.
The remaining Goblins, led by the squad leader, took the goods they had traded with the Goblin Merchant and headed back along the mountain path they came from.
While Qin Feng was cautiously hidden, a scrawny Goblin returned nervously and spoke with Husei.
A moment later, Husei nodded and took an item from the iron chest behind him.
The Goblin bought it, and then Husei took out a second item from the iron chest.
This time, the Goblin hesitated for a moment, discussed further with Husei, and then gritted his teeth and bought it.
When Husei took out the third item from the iron chest behind him, the Goblin could only shake his head helplessly and hurried away.
"This should be a survivor of the Reincarnated Goblins. How lucky! It's like getting a free piece of green intelligence. It's good to have a tribe!"
To be cautious, Qin Feng waited a while longer and found that within a short period, two or three tribes successively approached Husei for trade in this area.
There were also individual survivors who stumbled upon or discovered the presence of a Goblin Merchant here through intelligence, but the Goblin Merchant always took out items for trade one by one, and most only bought one or two items.
Some survivors even wanted to pounce on Husei on the spot after completing the transaction, but they were wary of the armored creature behind him and reluctantly gave up.
During the wait, Qin Feng didn't slack off either. He quietly hid under a large leaf and exercised, doing eighteen sets of push-ups in one go.
[Satiety - 25%]
[Growth Experience + 8]
"Now the experience growth frequency seems to have changed from +1+1+2 to +1+2+1+2. At this rate, I'll be able to grow to Lv4 tomorrow!"
Qin Feng's eyes lit up. He waited until the sun gradually set, and no other magical beasts came looking. Even when the Goblin Merchant was about to leave, he finally darted out and came before Husei.
"Hmph~ You reckless and foolish little fellow, you scared me! Today is truly an unlucky day. Not a single kind beast has brought my ring back. I hate it here, I hate the Yaqila Mountain Range!"
The Goblin Merchant Husei grumbled discontentedly, then looked down at Qin Feng and continued, "Do you also want to trade with me?"
"Yes, Goblin Merchant."
Qin Feng responded helplessly. If he wasn't here to trade with him, was he here to ask him out for dinner?
"Oh, you damned Little Lizard, you should call me the respectable Mr. Husei."
Husei's tone was displeased, and he continued, "You should first understand the rules of trading with me. I can buy what you want to sell, but I will only sell you three items.
The price of these three items will increase exponentially. You must pay for one item in advance before I will take out the next one.
But I can swear to the god of goblins that the quality of each item will increase.
If you buy all of them, it will definitely be worth more than the price, yielding about 1.5 times the profit!"
[Goblin Merchant Husei (Elite) has sworn to the god of goblins and cannot break his oath. Do you wish to initiate a formal trade with him?]
"Didn't they say Goblin Merchants are all greedy? How can he be so kind!"
Recalling the scene he had observed earlier, where all survivors only bought the second item, Qin Feng vaguely had a guess in his heart.
"I just heard, Mr. Husei, that you dropped a ring. If I help you find it, how will you repay me?"
