Chapter 211: The Demon Snake Naga's Terror, the Food Problem, and the Dwarf Race
Touv Great Forest.
Tang Zheng flew high above the forest, his gaze sweeping over the dense, dark jungle below.
The matter with the Twin Witches had been dealt with. Whatever schemes this special pair of demi-human sisters might have had before were now completely gone.
Tang Zheng had intentionally released a bit of his aura. His current level was 41, which, calculated in magic tiers, was at the level of sixth-tier magic (Levels 36-42).
This was the level that humans called "Aberrant."
The Twin Witches' power was only around level 20. With a level difference nearly double theirs, Tang Zheng didn't need to do anything.
Simply appearing before the Twin Witches was enough to make the two demi-humans completely docile.
The reason Tang Zheng was keeping the Twin Witches alive for now was that these two demi-humans possessed decent alchemy skills.
The previous "Artificial Monster: Frogman's Egg" required the Twin Witches' cooperation to create. Now, he also had the corpses of an ancient red dragon and a sun anglerfish in his possession.
The value of these two corpses was immense, and Tang Zheng hadn't yet fully decided how to handle them, afraid of wasting them.
"Alchemy" was a good way to utilize them. He also thought of one other person: Nfirea Bale.
Tang Zheng dismissed the various thoughts from his mind and continued to scan the jungle below.
He had too many things to do, but he understood that many of them couldn't be rushed and had to be taken one step at a time.
"Waah!"
"Waaah..."
"Gwaaah!"
From the depths of the jungle, the chaotic cries of goblins occasionally drifted up from the dense forest below.
Tang Zheng observed with a blank expression. He had already patrolled the skies above the Touv Great Forest. The Demon Snake Naga had not been slacking off; he had indeed been raising the goblins as instructed.
However!
From what he could see, the number of goblins didn't seem very large. Or rather, spread across the entire Great Forest of Tob, they were quite sparse.
Swoosh!
Tang Zheng changed direction in mid-air, flying rapidly toward the area that once belonged to Troll Gu.
The Forest Rift.
What was once the troll's cave had been completely transformed.
Ever since becoming the sole ruler of the entire Touv Great Forest, the Demon Snake Naga had moved his base here.
It wasn't that he liked the place.
It was because Troll Gu was not dead. He needed to stand guard to prevent the other from escaping; otherwise, he would be no match for Troll Gu.
Furthermore.
The Demon Snake Naga also controlled the ordinary goblins by dominating the hobgoblin tribe living in this area.
Hiss~
The Demon Snake Naga slithered out of the cave entrance, his cyan-scaled tail swishing. Feeling the sunlight on his face, a lazy expression appeared on his wrinkled, elderly human-like face.
Outside the cave was a flat, sparsely vegetated area.
Dozens of massive demonic wolves and giant snakes were scattered around. These were the monster subordinates the Demon Snake Naga had brought from his original territory.
"If it weren't for that damned horde of goblins, This Old One would be living much more comfortably."
The Demon Snake Naga caught a faint, foul stench in the air and couldn't help but curse under his breath.
He had originally thought that making a deal with that human—trading the service of raising goblins to become the true "Lord of the Touv Great Forest"—was a clever decision with no downsides.
But now!
The Demon Snake Naga suddenly realized that he had unwittingly become a nanny to that group of inferior beings, the goblins.
The damn goblins were not only weak, but they could also breed prolifically!
If that were all, it would be tolerable. But what the Demon Snake Naga found most unbearable was this horde's immense demand for food.
The Demon Snake Naga's dark-yellow pupils flickered. He was currently contemplating whether he should truly raise them on a massive scale according to that human's wishes.
At this thought.
The Demon Snake Naga subconsciously raised his arm and pressed it against his chest.
He had not forgotten the curse that human had left on his heart. Although he hadn't felt the power of that curse since, the Demon Snake Naga dared not take the risk.
Just as he was lost in thought.
"It seems you've been doing quite well for yourself lately," a placid voice came from the sky above.
Hwa! Hwa!
The numerous demonic wolves and giant snakes lying around all rose to their feet, their expressions ferocious as they looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared above their heads.
The Demon Snake Naga's heart jumped in alarm, and he quickly looked up.
Swoosh!
Tang Zheng's figure descended from the sky, landing steadily on the ground. The demonic wolves and giant snakes from all directions immediately swarmed forward.
Faced with this situation, Tang Zheng simply ignored them, his gaze fixed on the Demon Snake Naga, who stood rigidly at the cave entrance.
"All of you, back down!"
The Demon Snake Naga snapped back to his senses, nervously shouting the order. He forced a smile onto his wrinkled face and slithered forward on his snake tail.
The surrounding demonic wolves and giant snakes, hearing the Demon Snake Naga's command, dispersed again, clearing a path.
"My esteemed friend, it's been almost two months since you've appeared in the Great Forest," the Demon Snake Naga said with a laugh, opening his arms as if to greet an old friend as he approached Tang Zheng.
However!
When the Demon Snake Naga reached Tang Zheng and saw that he still wore a blank expression, he awkwardly lowered his outstretched arms.
"What is the current number of goblins?" Tang Zheng asked directly, wasting no words.
The Demon Snake Naga paused for a moment, his voice sounding a bit hesitant. "The number is around eighty thousand. This Old One feels that this number should be sufficient."
Hearing this, Tang Zheng studied the over-two-meter-tall Demon Snake Naga carefully. A brilliant smile suddenly appeared on his face as he took a step forward.
The next moment.
*Thud!*
He kicked out, his foot landing on the Demon Snake Naga's long, cyan-scaled snake tail.
"Ah!" The Demon Snake Naga cried out in pain. The crisp sound of bone breaking came from his tail, and his body uncontrollably collapsed to the ground.
Tang Zheng lifted his foot and stomped on the Demon Snake Naga's head, his expression unchanged. "You don't seem to have understood what I told you to do before."
"I have only one request, and that is to raise goblins in massive numbers."
The intense pain from his tail brought a look of terror to the Demon Snake Naga's face. The foot pressing on his head pinned him firmly to the ground, no matter how much he struggled.
"Mighty Lord, I understand, I understand!"
The Demon Snake Naga howled in agony, scaring the surrounding demonic wolves and giant snakes so much that they lowered their heads and trembled.
