Chapter 16 "Hobgoblin"
"What's going on?"
As he asked questions, Persson followed the anxious little boy as he ran out of the castle.
According to DouDing's description, the goblins found a cave on the east side of the Forbidden Forest, which not only avoided the most dangerous swarm of eight-eyed giant spiders, but was also some distance from the centaur tribe.
Before it could even warm up, it was snatched away by a rude and unreasonable "goblin," and Potato is trying to get it back.
"Goblins?" Persson frowned in confusion. "Didn't you lead a group of goblins? And that Potato guy, he's considered one of the stronger goblins, how come you lost?"
"Goblins, huge, very huge!"
As Dou Ding explained it this way, Possone had a vague sense of unease.
How big of a goblin would it take to fight ten of them?
Even one against a hundred!
"Never mind, let's go take a look first."
Persson shook his head. "It's just a goblin. No matter how big it is, can it be bigger than a dragon?"
……
He walked through the noisy area, avoiding Hagrid's patrol.
Posson plunged headlong into the forbidden forest.
As soon as you step inside, the chirping of insects and birds is silenced, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze carrying the pleasant scent of earth and grass.
As a green dragon dwelling in the forest, this aura made Persson feel at ease.
However, now is clearly not the time to get close to nature.
DouDing continued to lead the way, and more spirits emerged from all around, angrily waving their little fists, hoping that the great king would teach that rude fellow a lesson.
"Ahead, a goblin!"
Bean stopped behind a thicket of bushes as they continued along the rugged mountain path, while the other goblins followed at a distance, seemingly too afraid to go any further.
"roar--"
Before Posson could even lift the bushes, a deafening roar suddenly rang out, followed by a loud "bang!" that seemed to shake the entire earth.
Regardless of what lies behind the bushes.
Clearly, it has absolutely nothing to do with goblins!
"Potato, you can't hold on any longer, you're doomed!"
DouDing anxiously pointed to the bush, but Possong didn't rush out. Instead, he cautiously observed the situation on the other side through the branches and leaves.
rustle--
A wrinkled head suddenly squeezed into the bushes, like a freshly dug potato.
Before Posson could ask any questions, Potato grabbed the hammer and lunged to the right.
Swish!
A thick wooden stick flew past Potato's scalp, sending the entire shrub hurtling into the air!
"Damn bug, I'll smash you flat with this club!"
Standing fourteen feet tall and reeking of a nauseating stench, the giant roared angrily, its granite-like face turning blue with rage.
As for why I was so angry?
Persson looked down and saw the giant's swollen big toe, which was as red as a small lantern.
The giant was about to make a move.
Potato made a decisive strategic retreat, shrinking behind Poisson.
"Dou Ding, is this the 'Goblin' you were talking about?" Looking at the giant monster that resembled a small hill in front of him, Persson said with a speechless expression.
"Goblin, big, very big, extremely big!"
DouDing remained steadfast in his opinion, stubbornly regarding the giant as some kind of enormous goblin.
"Humans?" The troll squinted, finally noticing Persson blocking the goblin's path.
"Get out of my way! Or I'll smash you to pieces!"
"Can it talk?" Persson raised an eyebrow.
Unexpectedly, we encountered the most outstanding among the giants!
"It's good that you can talk," Persson said matter-of-factly. "These goblins are my men, and that cave is my territory. If you don't want to die, you'd better get out of here."
"Ha," the giant was so angry it laughed. It raised a club taller than Poisson and sneered, "Insignificant ant, before this great club, you can't even withstand a single blow..."
The fallen leaves and branches crunched underfoot, forcing the trees on both sides to make way.
The giant instinctively took a step back. Sunlight, which had been absent for a long time, shone on the lush forest, illuminating the emerald scales so brightly that it was hard to open one's eyes.
"Now, who are the ants?"
A muffled sound came from the dragon's head. Posson stretched out its body freely, and with a light sweep of its broad wings, it uprooted several trees and cleared a space around them.
"I am!"
Under the cold gaze of those amber vertical pupils, the giant was so frightened that its legs trembled. It decisively admitted defeat, dropped the wooden stick, and scrambled away into the depths of the forbidden forest.
Watching the giant's disheveled retreating figure, Persson did not rush to chase after it. Instead, he felt the explosive power flowing through his body and mobilized the muscles of his wings.
Sa—
With a gentle flap of its dragon wings, Possus burst forth from the treetop like an arrow released from a bow, soaring into the sky.
"Ah, this is a feeling I haven't had in a long time..."
After more than half a month without transforming back into dragon form, Possom felt his body had become quite sluggish.
He circled in the sky, readjusting to his body as he searched for the giant's trail.
"I've found you."
On the ground, the massive monster was no bigger than a mouse in Persson's eyes, frantically running around, tripping over vines or falling down the hillside.
Persson flapped his dragon wings again, like an elegant dancer, and the gap that had appeared before takeoff was wiped out in an instant!
The shadow of the dragon has descended upon the giant, its menacing form signaling the end of this cat-and-mouse game!
"You can't escape!"
Poisson folded its wings and swooped straight into the canopy. Oak branches sizzled against the scales, but they couldn't stop the dragon in the slightest.
A cruel and mocking smile played on his lips as he savored the hunt.
however.
The imagined scene of blood and gore did not occur.
The giant had already crouched down with its head lowered before Poisson swooped down, thus avoiding the most deadly bite!
"What?!"
Persson slammed on the brakes in shock; his attack had been seen through by a giant monster?
But I only realized it when I turned my head.
The giant monster didn't get up at all; it still stuck out its huge buttocks.
He even started kowtowing repeatedly!
"Are you... begging for mercy?"
Persson extended his dragon claw and gripped the giant's small head. If the creature made any unusual movement, he would crush its head without hesitation.
"Oh, great dragon, I dare not ask for forgiveness. To die under your strong and beautiful claws would be the greatest honor of my life!"
The troll spoke rapidly, fluently, and with great emotion, a stark contrast to his previous foolish demeanor.
Persson felt a chill and quickly withdrew his dragon claws, afraid of indulging the creature.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty the Dragon! I, Bangchui, am willing to go through fire and water for you, even unto death!"
The troll displayed a level of literary skill beyond its species, nimbly getting to its feet and forcing a fawning smile onto its ugly face.
This level of intelligence is absolutely comparable to that of the Einstein among freaks!
