158 Green Skinned Menace

Are there cannibals in this world or something?! To think they would kill a mere child and eat it… so horrendous! I was delving into my own thoughts about single-celled organism and what could had brought the existence of Slimes into this world through a scientific standpoint, but to think that this would completely take me off guard!
“T-This is a child’s skull?” wondered Aquarina.
“Oh… What…? Who could had eaten a child…” said Zack.
“This is not right… For now we should try to move away from here…” I said.
“Indeed, if we encounter some wild cannibal tribe around, I wouldn’t really want to become their next dinner…” said Zack.
“I agree! I didn’t knew there were more people than the Amazon here… Now I am scared…” said Aquarina. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
“How about we cancel Ninhursag’s search for the moment to report this to your parents?” asked Zack.
“Hahh… I wanted to see her again… I kind of want to know what kind of magic she uses, I am also interested in her race, or ask her other stuff like history, she knows a lot about the forest, right? I’ve always wondered another people’s perspective of my parents which they wouldn’t easily tell me… But I guess this is more important.” I sighed.
…..
“Yeah, let’s go for now.” Said Aquarina.
“Hm, let’s go- Huh?” asked Zack.
“Pyukuuuuuu!”
Pyuku suddenly jumped away from my arms and began to bounce over the floor, quickly moving somewhere else! Was it running away from us? Or was it looking for something?
It looked like it was searching something, and the farther it moved from us at an increasing speed, the more worried I got.
“Wait, Pyuku!”
Aquarina, however, moved before I did, and rushed after Pyuku. I couldn’t let her do all the work so, of course, I also rushed after the slime and Aquarina at fast speed.
“Agh, this damn slime…” said Zack, running behind me.
“Pyuuuuu!”
Pyuku was going crazy while calling for us, as it continued to rush forward, jumping over rocks, logs, and even small critters walking around.
“Wait, Pyuku! You don’t love us anymore?” cried Aquarina, she seemed heartbroken…
“Wait there! What if you run into a dangerous monster?” I asked.
“Ugh, why are we doing this? Just let it leave!” said Zack.
When we reached Pyuku at long last, it suddenly jumped over some bushes and disappeared from our sight.
Aquarina pointed out at the bushes alarmed.
“It is most likely behind that bush, let’s go there!” she said.
We reached the bushes, and I used Agriculture and Nature Magic combined, touching the bushes, I made them all stretch out and open the way for us to get in.
When we got through it, what we found was Pyuku standing still while looking at what was in front of us.
“Pyuku!” said Aquarina, hugging the slime she had grown fond of in this little time.
Pyuku seemed to hug back Aquarina with its small tentacles, petting her head adorably.
“Why did you run away out of nowhere?!” I asked angrily.
Pyuku suddenly used its tentacle, pointing out at what was in front of us. And what was in front of us was not something I had ever expected to see.
We were currently standing in some sort of small cliff, which led to a plain in the middle of the jungle. In there, there was some grassland and marshlands mixed together, and camps.
Yes, camps, tents, made of leather, and there were even walls being constructed out of wood and animal bones, there were bonfires set around, and even a small watchtower.
This looked like a settlement of a more primitive tribe, as even the Amazon had a more refined and beautiful village than this, even though they also used tents and the like, but theirs were way prettier, alongside their clothes.
However, what we found inside were not people but small green-skinned creatures, they were not skinny, well, some of them, but there were a few others that were way taller and muscular, and had sharp tusks coming out of their lower jaws, they had sharp and long noses, and also ears.
Some were bald, while others had black hair over their heads… I saw that some were smaller and more delicate than others, some were clearly warrior-class while others dedicated to different tasks.
But these people were not humans… what were they?
When I used my Heavenly Sight and looked up to them while Zack and Aquarina were left dumbfounded by the sight, I found out they were named “Goblins” thanks to the Appraising Ability within my Heavenly Sight.
Yes, they were called goblins, and according to the info I got…
[Goblin: A race of barbaric Demi-human type Demons, more akin and closely related to monsters, they are often aggressive to any other intelligent race other than goblins, and even then, their barbaric tendencies tend to make them kill each other if they don’t belong to the same tribes. They are no more intelligent than a toddler but have a sharp cunningness and talent for killing. Goblins work in groups and maintain a social hierarchy when a Goblin King appears, which they all obey. Lesser Descendants of the Dark Blood of the First Demon King Corpse.]
Wow, that’s a lot of information for a mere glare I gave to them. These Heavenly Sight Abilities are becoming more and more complex as I develop them. I suppose a way to develop them is by just constantly inspecting everything.
Anyways… going back to the main topic…
GOBLINS!
They’re a barbarian race of demons that are more akin to monsters… This is bad if there is really a Goblin King here… then that’s worse news.
I am all for interspecies relationships and comprehending one another, but if they’re no more intelligent than toddlers, then perhaps communication could be very hard, especially because… they have psychopathic tendencies.
Actually Furoh looked way scarier than them but somehow Shapeshift Demons are way more intelligent than goblins even when they look like him…
“They’re named Goblins…” I said.
“Goblins? Ah! T-Those… those are…!” said Zack.
“No way! Goblins?!” asked Aquarina.
And suddenly, Pyuku pointed out at something emerging behind us, the bushes moved around as a group of Goblins scouting the area fond us out!
