Chapter 328: Invitation Letter, Brand New Instance [10,000 Words]_6
"Prey must be offered to the Leader first. If the Leader finds out, he'll definitely devour you all." The Big Goblin scolded.
Upon hearing this, the regular goblins immediately trembled in fear, not daring to eat the Flame Boar.
Soon, under the Big Goblin's command, the remaining seven ordinary goblins carried the boar deeper into the forest.
Mu Rufeng did not appear; instead, he quietly followed them from behind.
These goblins were truly hardworking and uncomplaining; if they slowed down even a bit along the way, they would be chastised or even beaten by the Big Goblin.
Even so, these goblins dared not utter a word of complaint. After walking more than ten kilometers, they finally arrived in front of a cave.
Here, goblins were everywhere.
Goblins hunted in squads, moving in all directions throughout the forest. All prey caught was brought back to be contributed to the Goblin Leader.
Each squad was managed by a Big Goblin who oversaw the common goblins.
Then, Mu Rufeng followed them into the cavern.
Upon entering, he immediately held his breath; there was no choice, the stench was overwhelming.
The cave was extremely vast, and in its center was an enormous throne.
Sitting on the throne was a giant goblin over three meters tall.
Understandably, an adult goblin is only about 1.2 meters tall.
Yet this goblin was over three meters tall, which was simply unimaginable.
Looking towards the inner area, there were three more caves, likely manually carved by goblins.
Mu Rufeng sensed something and his lips twitched slightly.
How should it be put? It's quite an eyesore.
Among the three caves, one was a nursery, filled with goblin cubs.
Another held captive female creatures, also referred to as the pregnancy chamber.
The third one stored an abundance of food.
Mu Rufeng investigated but found no trace of human females.
The pregnancy chamber was entirely populated with female creatures: groundhogs, Flame Boars, swamp lizards, etc. Any female demon with a suitable body size was captured here.
Some were even pregnant.
Observing this, one must speak of the goblin race's characteristics.
Goblins have no females, and without females, they cannot reproduce.
Curiously, goblins aren't reproductively isolated from any creature.
As long as a creature is female and suitably sized, it can be impregnated, and regardless of species, the offspring will be male goblins.
If the mother is stronger, the potential of the offspring goblin is higher. Similarly, if the father is of higher level, the offspring goblin's potential is likewise elevated.
In the old man's memory, Mu Rufeng learned that goblins are beings with an extremely strong sense of hierarchy.
Lower-ranked goblins cannot resist higher-ranked ones.
Once born, goblins are goblin cubs, and with enough food they can grow into ordinary goblins in just ten days or half a month.
Ordinary goblins possess the ability to hunt.
Furthermore, goblins have an extremely abnormal desire to reproduce, but there is one point: they need the consent of higher-ranked goblins to propagate.
In essence, mating rights are in the hands of upper-ranked goblins, and no goblin dares defy them.
The hierarchy is exceedingly strict.
These goblins also take pride in their ability to reproduce.
The concept is straightforward: when goblins have offspring, these children follow their father's commands due to bloodline ties.
Each offspring can produce several goblins, sometimes seven or eight, or even a dozen, growing rapidly.
Consequently, the father can gain followers, become a squad leader, secure more prey, and then advance to Big Goblin status.
Of course, if a descendant goblin's strength surpasses its father, it will challenge and defeat him, devouring the father to take his place as squad leader.
If your strength is high enough, you can even devour your paternal goblin.
Mu Rufeng's gaze fell upon the Goblin Leader.

Magic Power: 380

From the old man's memory, Mu Rufeng knew that goblins are divided into multiple ranks.
At birth, they are at LV1, considered goblin cubs.
Level 1-9 are ordinary goblins, with a height of approximately 1.2 meters.
Levels 10-19 are Big Goblins, who are taller and stronger, comparable to regular humans, around 1.6-1.7 meters in height.
Levels 20-29 are Goblin Warriors, with even more robust physiques, standing 2-2.3 meters tall.
Levels 30-49 are Goblin Commanders, with the most massive bodies, ranging from 2.7-5 meters in height.
Levels 50-79 are Goblin Generals, who become smaller, resembling Big Goblins once more.
Levels 80-99 are Goblin Kings, returning to the plain goblin form at this level, but their power is formidable enough to lead all goblins.
Above level 100 is Goblin God, but while Goblin Kings are known, Goblin Gods remain unheard of.
They haven't even seen humans at the hundredth level.
Besides these roles, there is the Goblin Shaman, which a goblin becomes automatically when reaching level ten.
However, this probability is unbelievably low, extremely low, but once a goblin becomes a Goblin Shaman, they attain an exceptional status within the goblin tribe.
For example, a Level 10 Goblin Shaman could stand on equal footing even before a present Goblin Commander.
"This Level 38 Goblin Commander has high attributes; can Brave really defeat him at Level 10?" Mu Rufeng mused in surprise.
But Mu Rufeng quickly understood.
He checked his own data panel.
