Those damn Goblins managed to damage me! But at least I managed to level up again.

*Sigh*

The next evolution is so far away...

Anyway time to bring back the crystals and check on little snake.

Walking back towards the hot spring I saw a lone goblin wandering towards the backpack where some of the monster crystals from the humans were.

Seeing that he hasn´t spotted little snake and is alone I sighed in relief and threw my dagger at him and piercing the back of his head. Walking up to him I wanted to clean the blood as to not attract any more monsters when I suddenly felt a small sting on my left shoulder.

Looking in front of me I spotted a wooden tube poking out of a bush. Realizing what just happened I immediately took out the small needle that managed to pierce through my sand armor. But the poison on it already did its job and my left arm was paralyzed. I ignored my limp arm for now and changed into combat mode and rushed towards the bastard that shot me to deliver my revenge.

Cursing that I let my guard down I dashed towards the bushes where the dart was fired from, only to see 3 more tubs sticking out. Not waiting for them to shoot I clapped my hands together as a cloud of sand envelops my vicinity.

Sensing that they shot blindly I could easily evade them, before hearing them coughing. As they were inside my sand cloud, I could clearly see that there are at least 7 goblins around. 4 pipe blowers and 3 sword wielders.

But those goblins weren´t like the last group of goblin scouts that I encountered in the woods. In contrast to the mere scouts, this group consisted of trained hunters, wearing wooden armor, have battle experience, and are higher leveled. But even with all that, it´s still not enough to kill a tier 2 monster like me with only 7 tier 1 goblins. It will only make my blood boil in excitement.

As I ran past the dead goblin that tried to steal the monster cores, I yanked the knife out of his skull and stabbed the goblin that shot me right between his eyes as I look into his shocked ugly face.

The remaining 3 pipe blowers jumped back as the sword wielders got in front and raised their wooden swords to engage with a cry.

"""Khhyyyy!"""

Seeing them doing basic battle tactics I couldn´t help but laugh a little.

Catching the two swords with my bare hands I lunged at the third goblin who was about to hit me. Biting into the side of his throat I ripped a big chunk out and swallowed it. Enjoying the taste as I see him gurgle in his own blood.

*pfit* *pfit* *pfit*

Breaking my fun time I heard the sound of darts that are being shot at me, I slammed the two sword-wielding goblins into each other to shield me from the projectiles. The darts hit the two goblins' wooden armor and fell to the ground. Yanking the wooden swords plus their wielders into the sky I leaped at the nearest goblin.

Doing a little front flip I smashed the head of the goblin as I landed with grace.

Realizing that the goblins had no hope of killing me the remaining 2 goblins ran away.

Of course, they didn´t manage that as I snatched two poisoned darts out of the pouch of the crushed goblin and threw them at the escapers. Hitting them right in their neck and slowly dying as their lungs stopped working.

""Kahhhhhhh!""

*Thump* *Thump*

The two goblins which I threw into the air crashed down and instantly died.

Seeing what a mess I just made I sighed and walked towards my dagger which is still stuck between the goblin's eyes.

Collecting all the stuff and burying the dead goblins I walked beside the black egg and rested, as I enjoy the sweet goblin cores.

...

And so the days go by as I kill the waves of goblins nearing the hot spring. The woodland goblin increases in number due to the ever-rising mana in the dungeon. Even some hobgoblins showed up which are harder to deal with but nevertheless easy to kill. But because of the constant killing, I managed to gain another title. I even got so many experiences that I am now level 25 and some of my skills rose in ranks.

On the fourth day, little snake finally began to show signs of waking up as the egg moved slightly and woke up on the fifth day.

(Back to present time)

(Little snakes' perspective)

*Swoosh*

*drip* *drip* *drip*

Feeling a slight sting I touched my cheek with my tail and felt something wet. Looking at my tail I could see it was red. I don´t remember it being red...

*Ding*

[Poison resistance level 1 gained!]

...

Just as I look up, I saw a small leave-covered creature with a blowpipe in his hand. Ignoring the message for now I recognized the ugly face of a goblin and immediately put my head down and turned to run towards Sahra who was cleaning her hands and knife in the hot spring from the blood.

Looking back for a moment I could see another 5 green goblins pop out of the bushes and rushed me with raised swords whilst shirking.

"Tss!"

Sahra who heard the goblins made an annoyed tongue clicking sound and threw her small dagger towards the nearest goblin before rushing in and massacring the goblins in the most gruesome way I have ever seen.

That day I swore to myself to never anger Sahra in my life, while desperately trying not to puke out the crystals that I ate.

Seeing the aftermath of the one-sided butchering, I realized once again that it is a kill or be killed world that I am living in now.

But what disturbed me the most is that looking at the dismembered goblin parts made me hungry.

Seeing that Sahra ripping off an arm and eating it, I tried to fight back my monster instincts, as my human side refused to eat a goblin... but I am fighting a losing battle as I unconsciously slithered towards a dismembered finger, made a small hissing sound, and swallowed it.

!

At least it is delicious... kinda taste like grilled chicken.

Looking around I spotted another lone finger and greedily devoured it, before going for another one, and another one, and another one...

*Ding*

[Congratulations on eating your first monster!]

...

Wow, system... just wow.

Why did you even send me this message!

*sigh*

Thanks, I guess...

Enjoying my first feast with Sahra I made a to-do list.

So first I need to get stronger and survive. Second, I need to find a way to communicate with Sahra and third I need to-

"DUUUUDUUUUU!!"

"Dumm!" "Dum!" "Dum!" "Dumm!"

"Dumm!" "Dum!" "Dum!" "Dumm!"

"Dumm!" "Dum!" "Dum!" "Dumm!"

"DUUUUDUUUUU!!"

'Agkkkkk!!!!! For god's sake why can´t I just have a normal day without something happening?!!' cried I inside my head as I heard war drums and a horn sounding through the whole forest.
