I train my body alone in the magical world.

Chapter 14 "Bad News Hits the Bodybuilding World!"

The goblin's lair is divided into several underground sections.

The abducted villagers of Niujiao Town were imprisoned in several dungeons, awaiting the arrival of despair.

Because of the impending rain, the goblins were more focused on fortifying their nests.

Safety is only temporary; the darkness in the dungeon is precisely the catalyst for despair, nurturing suffocating fear.

"Waaah... hiss..."

The dark cell, the suffocating air, the oppressive atmosphere like a dark cloud hanging over everyone.

The faint sobs further amplified the fear that permeated the entire cell.

The only people kidnapped were women. Even if she hadn't witnessed the goblins' brutality firsthand, she had at least heard about it from adults...

The horrific screams from the other cells... sent chills down the spines of everyone in the cell.

What will become of them next?

"Baron... will he really come to save us?" The young woman, who looked to be in her early twenties, had despair in her eyes.

"Yes...it definitely will!"

Trish clenched her fists as she gently embraced the sobbing little girl nestled in her arms...

Although I haven't seen this child in Bullhorn Town, in this situation... such a young child must be very helpless!

"We... will be alright!" Trish gently patted the little girl's shoulder.

However, she herself didn't have much confidence in saying those words.

Even though Baron Andrew carried out a rescue as quickly as possible, they themselves did not know where they were.

The jungle in the southern suburbs is intricate and complex, and whether or not the goblin's lair can be found is another question. Even if the lair is found, what will they be like then? That's yet another question.

As she thought about this, despair spread through Trish's mind...

"Bang!!!"

"What...what happened?!" Trish looked toward the source of the sound.

A large group of goblins walked outwards... It seems... it seems someone has found the goblin's lair?

"ah!!"

The goblin nest instantly erupted in chaos. The goblins, who had been reinforcing their nest, let out ear-piercing roars as they watched their companions tumbling down from above.

"Are you angry? It's okay, because... I'm angrier than you are!"

Fu Xiao stood at the entrance of the goblin's lair. Ordinary goblins fight about the same as normal adults, but when a group of goblins swarmed in, even a professional would have to be careful.

The ability to convert magic into physical damage gave him an absolute numerical advantage, and he didn't rush into the lair. Firstly, he wasn't familiar with the terrain inside, and secondly... his physical stats weren't yet sufficient to allow him to venture into the lair alone. Besides... his mission was already complete!

The goblins surged out of the lair like a tidal wave.

"Wow...that's quite a lot!?"

Grace, observing from within the jungle, narrowed her eyes slightly. A group of a dozen goblins was already considered a challenging task by the Adventurers' Guild, but...

Even a goblin army of this size would not be able to launch a preemptive attack on a town. What exactly happened at the caravan market in the southern suburbs?

The next moment, Rias appeared beside Fuxiao.

The knight's sword, glowing faintly, was swiftly swung, slicing through the goblin that Fu Xiao was trying to sneak up on.

"Breathing techniques?" Grace raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips. "Her basic swordsmanship is very solid. If she can receive the Holy Light in the future, she will be a paladin with limitless potential!"

These three little ones are really interesting. It's rare to find three children with such potential in such a small town as Ox Horn.

"I...I..."

Bruce's body trembled slightly; he felt surprisingly weak at that moment.

Perhaps, among his peers in Niujiao Town, he could crush the vast majority of them with his physical advantages.

However, he did not receive systematic training like Rias from a young age, nor did he possess Fukami's absolute numerical power.

In this life-or-death struggle with the goblins, Bruce's hands trembled slightly, making him seem somewhat insignificant in the face of the two men.

"Hmm... how about I teach you a trick?" Grace gently raised her hand towards the goblins charging out of the nest: "Imagine, those goblins' movements... are actually quite slow, right?"

Ok?

Bruce followed the direction Grace pointed, and the goblins that had just charged out immediately slowed down.

However, in his eyes, the surrounding environment seemed to have turned into molecules of various colors... Purple molecules entangled the goblins, making their movements incredibly slow.

"I...I can see..." Bruce nodded... He didn't even realize that his eyes were emitting a faint light.

"Feel the pulse of the elements, tame the violent energy of magic, and let it take over the elements!"

Grace put it very bluntly, but for someone like Bruce with an affinity for elements... that was enough.

Ok?

Fu Xiao narrowed his eyes as he watched the goblins at the entrance of the nest slow down. It seemed that Grace had already made her move.

Just as he was about to step forward and make a move...

"puff!"

From the goblin's lair, a burly arm shot straight forward through the slowed goblin horde. In an instant, foul-smelling green blood mixed with various severed limbs flew towards Fuxiao and Rias.

"Slow spell!"

Bruce shouted it out, though he didn't know why he had to.

It's like shouting it out makes the magic work even better!

The splattering blood, bone fragments, and flesh visibly slowed down, and Fu Xiao and Rias immediately retreated and separated themselves.

"Oh! Well done! Little fatty, you really do have a talent for magic!" Grace couldn't help but praise.

Ok?

In front of the goblin's lair, Fu Xiao squinted at the entrance. The sky was already getting dark, and dark clouds were beginning to gather. In the dim light, a dark green figure walked out.

Its nearly two-meter-tall body requires it to duck when leaving its nest. Its dark green skin has an oily and eerie dark sheen in the dim light, making it hard to tell whether it is congealed blood or natural scales. Its thick limbs and bulging belly also reveal the faint lines of its abdominal muscles.

"Well..."

The giant goblin let out a low growl... exhaling a puff of white breath, its crimson eyes gleaming in the darkness like embers in the night.

It simply stood there, and an oppressive aura, a mixture of blood, stench, and pure brute force, emanated from it as if it were a tangible force, suffocating everyone. Behind it, dozens of goblins wielding knives and axes surrounded it once again.

"Um?"

Fu Xiao's pupils dilated as he looked at the giant goblin before him. The goblin's body was covered in acne and emitted a disgusting odor, making him feel nauseous. "I told you not to use random drugs, didn't I?"

This inevitably brought back a familiar voice to his mind.

"Bad news has hit the bodybuilding world!"

Grace, nestled in the jungle, slightly raised her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes…

Leader Goblin?

When I first graduated, I participated in goblin extermination. The leader goblin had a peculiar ability; it had a special buff that allowed it to command and gather a large number of goblins in a short time, and also to accelerate the production and development of goblins.

Now, Grace finally understands why the goblins attacked the town; they had this kind of advantage!

She opened the leather case containing the wand. The wand, made of white ancient wood, had a purple, round magic crystal wrapped around its gnarled branches. Compared to the dusty case, it lay quietly inside, spotless, as if waiting for Grace's summons.

The wand seemed to sense the long-lost magic, and the purple magic crystal faintly emitted an excited glow.

The moment Grace gripped her wand, a drop of water slowly fell from the sky.

"The timing is perfect! Let's begin the operation!"
