Goblin Reincarnation in Another World (Anime/Manga)

Page 190

Niu Zida hadn't brought a fixed group of maids with him on his several exploration missions, which is why Joel asked him this question during breakfast. Of course, this wasn't because Niu Zida was being casual; rather, he wanted to familiarize all his maids with the environment by changing the lineup each time. After all, monsters frequently appeared in this area, and he didn't know how many days he would have to stay here. It was always good to have everyone familiar with the surroundings so that he could be prepared for any eventuality.

"Today, Aponia, Yoel, Shizuku Misato, Aine Chidorigafuchi, Kuroyukihime, Eurysia, Kokoro, Asuna, and Taihou will come with me. The rest of you will stay at the camp."

After breakfast, as usual, Niu Zida took Asuna and Aine out with him, following his previous policy of taking the maids out for training in turns. Even Taihou, who was unable to fight on land, was taken out to gain experience.

"Jinxi, did all the villages around here leave with you?"

"Yes, Master. Back then, several nearby villages left with us because they didn't care about the monsters' intrusion. Some other villages submitted to Getara Castle in the hope of receiving protection. The villages further away couldn't feel the monsters' attacks, so they refused to pay tribute to us or ask for our protection in the name of their submission to the Kingdom of Altaïr. Some villages further south have actually lost all contact with us. No one knows what happened to those villages and towns."

On the way to the monster-infested area, Niu Zida asked Jin Xi again and received a more detailed answer than before. It turned out that many villages and towns in the south were not so much unstable, but simply impossible to contact.

"After all, there are still large areas of desert in the south, which is difficult for Fort Getara to cover. If they don't contact us, we don't need to contact them for the time being."

Jinxi's implication was that she hadn't told Niu Zida the complete information, but she hadn't gone into too much detail. Once a maid signed a service contract, she couldn't consciously deceive her master. Niu Zida felt that Jinxi's words might just be a cover-up for his lack of consideration.

Soon, Niu Zida and his group returned to the mining area. However, to Niu Zida's surprise, the number of monsters near the mining area, which had been cleared the day before, had not decreased at all. Countless snakes, insects, rats, and other monsters were still attacking the group.

"Damn it, wasn't this area already cleared out yesterday?"

"Back then, these monsters were just too annoying, they seemed endless, so we retreated."

Although Jinxi had repeatedly said so, could her efficient cleanup really stop the monsters from decreasing in number? If this continued, she wouldn't even be able to enter the mining area and make any further progress than Jinxi and the others had made, let alone develop the place.

"If the monsters here recover so quickly, then there must be something that can restore them. It's very likely that there are mineral veins or something that are overflowing with imaginary energy underground."

"Mom Aponia, what do you mean?"

"My meaning is very simple, Master..."

Aponia smiled and instructed the other maids to take Niu Zida and fly far away into the sky. The maids who couldn't fly were pulled along by the others who could, and they too flew to a high altitude with Niu Zida. Suddenly, she revealed her transparent moth wings and soared into the sky. Raising her hand towards the ground, she gathered all her energy and shouted:

"This crime will be unforgivable for all eternity!"

Chapter 459 Erinus

Chapter 459.

With Aponia's shout, a large number of lightning bolts crashed heavily to the ground, instantly creating a loud rumble, swirling smoke and dust in all directions. From high above, the scene resembled the end of the world.

"Phew...the world is so peaceful now..."

After unleashing her ultimate attack, Aponia looked at the ground, a gentle smile spreading across her charming face. However, Niu Zida and the other maids stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Aponia's destructive power. It turned out that she had completely restrained her abilities when attacking Getara Castle. Jin Xi, in particular, now understood. Aponia was indeed a gentle person. She probably hadn't even used one-tenth of her power when attacking Getara Castle. If she had used that level of power to attack Getara Castle, her territory would probably be a no-man's land by now, and the city of Getara Castle would have become a thing of the past.

"Mom Aponia, was your full-force attack really that powerful?"

"It's alright, Master. After all, I couldn't let it affect you in the high sky, so I only used about two-thirds of my power this time."

Aponia finished speaking gently, and everyone was shocked again. Such powerful strength wasn't even the full strength of this beautiful woman. Not to mention others, Misato Shizuku was biting her lip.

Chapter 679

Her own face was already extremely pale. You have to understand that she and Aponia were taken into Niu Zida's harem at almost the same time, and she was even taken in earlier. As a result, the difference in power has become so great.

At this moment, Chidorigafuchi Aine and Yurishia maintained the aerial knot to allow the other maids to float into the sky temporarily, while Ushio Tatsu was being held by Joel. Because Aponia's destructive power was too great, the dust on the ground wouldn't dissipate anytime soon, so they could only wait in mid-air for a while. Looking at the scene on the ground, Ushio Tatsu smiled and said:

"Oh dear, Mother Aponia, you've gone too far this time. Now we can't get down."

"Mom, this power is something you can only gain by receiving water from your master."

Aponia flew over and hugged Niu Zida, affectionately kissing his forehead with her small mouth, and then took him into her arms to eat her big snowflakes.

Just as they were chatting, the smoke below cleared up. The damage caused by Aponia's attack was indeed terrifying. A huge crater, like that of a meteorite, appeared on the ground, and all the monsters had vanished without a trace.

"Miss Aponia's destructive power is truly astonishing..."

Even the usually arrogant Ai Yin subconsciously swallowed and sincerely praised it. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on the ground, the group slowly descended. The pit on the ground was nearly ten meters deep. At the bottom of the pit, Niu Zida felt a similar power that made his whole body tremble. There was no doubt that this feeling must have come from the imaginary energy ore.

"Master...this feeling..."

The other maids also sensed the fluctuation of this power. It seems that Aponia's attack not only cleared the area but also blasted up the underground mine. This also explains why monsters are rampant in this area. The mine is only about 10 meters below the ground. Such an energy overflow will naturally cause all the surrounding creatures to be infected by imaginary energy and turn into monsters.

Just as the group was about to investigate the source of the ore vein, a rustling sound suddenly came from all around. Before Niu Zida could discover anything, Yor shouted:

"Oh no, Master! Something is crawling towards us from all around..."

Following Joel's reminder, everyone noticed that a large group of ants, each a full meter long, were crawling out from the edge of the pit. The ants gathered in increasing numbers, and in a short time, a dark mass surrounded Niu Zida and his group from the edge of the pit. Only then did Niu Zida realize that something was wrong. This must be because one of the ant nests underground had been monsterized, since the nest had been blown up by Aponia's attack earlier.

Because Niu Zida and his group were standing in the deep pit, it acted like a convex lens, causing the temperature of the sand inside to gradually rise. Several maids quickly became drenched in sweat from the heat, but the ants seemed completely unaffected. Everyone found this strange, and Niu Zida said:

"This ant is the Sahara silver ant, one of the most drought-resistant animals in the desert."

"Master, how do you know about this?"

"I used to love watching Animal World."

"What it is?"

"Well... now is not the time to talk about this."

Faced with Xin Hai's curiosity, Niu Zida had no time to answer carefully. Aponia was holding Niu Zida to protect him. Because she had just cleared the entire area, the beautiful woman still needed to accumulate power. Aine and Yulisia, having maintained flight for a long time, also needed some time to restart. After all, they not only needed to take off themselves, but also to help the other maids who couldn't fly out of the encirclement. After consuming a period of energy, it would take some time to restart.

"Master, we need to get rid of these ants and leave this place quickly. It's getting hotter and hotter. If we don't leave soon, we'll be roasted to death here."

Niu Zida landed thinking he could check the underground mine after clearing the area, but he never expected there to be so many monsters on the ground. He wasn't prepared for a fight, and now, facing so many ants, it seems he can only let the maids use their combat power to manually clear them away first, while Aine and Yulisia gather their strength and fly away from here.

In order to buy time, Asuna, Shizuku Misato, Yoru, and the others had no choice but to fight and clear out the large number of ants that were surrounding them. Although these ants could not directly threaten their lives in terms of combat strength, there were too many of them. After only a few minutes and a few rounds of clearing, the maids were all panting heavily. The Sea Moon in the Heart Sea could only heal wounds and could not restore physical strength, so it was of little help in this situation.

However, thanks to Asuna, Shizuku, and the others buying them time, after a few minutes, Aine and Eurythia were finally able to fly again. Aponia carried Ushio, while Aine and Eurythia protected the others and took to the air once more. Just as they were about to escape the encirclement of the numerous ants, a giant creature suddenly emerged from the mine, roared at the group, and opened its huge mouth to spew out a flash of light, instantly engulfing Ushio and his companions.

Because everything happened so fast, Niu Zida's maids didn't even have time to dodge the attack that resembled a Tailed Beast Ball. But in that instant, Niu Zida caught a glimpse of the monster's full form and was shocked. Wasn't this the Abyss Monster Erinus? Why would something like this appear here?

But there was no time for Niu Zida to think; they were swept into the fierce energy eruption, and the enormous halo emanating from it gradually engulfed them.

Chapter 680

Everyone was stunned. Niu Zida couldn't see anything, and gradually even lost his sense of touch and smell. Was he going to be dissolved by this attack? Unfortunately, even this worry couldn't last long. Soon, Niu Zida's consciousness went blank...

After an unknown amount of time, Niu Zida felt his face touching something soft and fragrant. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Aponia's charming and lovely face looking at him with concern.

"Mom Aponia...are we safe?"

"Well... to be precise, we're out of danger for the time being..."

"That's alright, that monster from before..."

"However, Master, let's put aside that monster for now. Although we are no longer in danger, the area we are in might be different from what you imagine."

"Hey, Mom, what do you mean by that?"

"Because this place doesn't seem to be the same as before..."

After being reminded by Aponia, Niu Zida finally looked away from Aponia's black stockings and glanced around. He gasped in shock because they were now in a desert, no longer near the mining area. Besides Aponia and himself, the only other person standing next to him was Daihou; the other maids were nowhere to be seen.

"what happened……"

Could it be that, like with the sandworm, he had gotten separated from his maid again? Niu Zida was startled by this sight, and all those unpleasant memories from the past flooded back into his mind.

"Master... Master?"

When Aponia noticed that Niu Zida in her arms seemed a little dazed, she wondered if he had been injured in the impact earlier. However, she had carefully used her softest and most elastic breast to press down on Niu Zida's head to prevent him from being hurt. Logically, he shouldn't be injured.

"what?"

"Master, why did you suddenly freeze? Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"No, I was just observing the surroundings."

"Master, I'm so scared..."

Taihou also approached Niu Zida at this moment, abandoning her usual sickly demeanor, and sighed with genuine concern. After all, the surrounding area was desert, which was practically a death trap for a ship girl like Taihou. Without being able to exert her strength, Taihou was no different from a weak girl. Of course, as a ship girl, Taihou's vitality was not comparable to that of an ordinary girl.

"Let's find a place to rest for now; this is really not a place to stay."

Aponia said this while holding Niu Zida, and Niu Zida agreed. It wasn't as hot here as it had been in the mining area, but it was still a desert with no water or houses, so they couldn't stay here any longer.

"Mommy Aponia, can you fly?"

"I'm sorry, I can't. I don't know why, but I'm currently unable to refine my power completely."

"Was it because you used up a lot of energy just now?"

"No, if it were just an attack of that magnitude, how could we have recovered? But the current situation seems a bit different..."

Chapter 460 Kanata Town

Chapter 460.

"Huh? Aponia's mom, what do you mean?"

"I feel like I can't replenish my strength right now, as if something is suppressing me... I have a feeling that I can't exert any strength."

"Mom, is it because I didn't ejaculate inside you?"

"Master is being naughty again. Mom isn't joking with you. Something really feels off."

Niu Zida saw that although Aponia had gently scolded him, her snow-white face was serious, and he knew that Aponia was not joking with him, so he said:

"So, Aponia, you can't use your power now? If that's the case, we're in a bit of a predicament. After all, Taihou can't use her power either. If we encounter monsters here, it will be very troublesome."

"It's not that bad yet. If it's just dealing with ordinary monsters, it's still doable."

Hearing Aponia say that, Niu Zida was relieved. The most important thing right now is to find a place to stay, and then look for the other maids. He really doesn't know how everyone is doing. This is the first time he has been forced to separate from the other maids since the Sandworm Battle two years ago. Niu Zida is a little worried about everyone.

"Master, I remember you called out 'Erinas' before that monster came out. What was that thing?"

"The name of the monster that attacked us is... a creation of the abyss..."

"How did the master find out?"

"Well...it's a long story..."

On the way, Aponia held Niu Zida and asked him about what had just happened. Niu Zida could only give a vague answer. In fact, he was more concerned about why Erinas was here. And thinking about it carefully, it seemed that every time he was in danger, he had encountered an abyss creation. First the Golden King Beast, then the Sandworm, and now Erinas. Moreover, they mostly appeared in places containing imaginary energy minerals. He hadn't thought about it that much before, but after encountering this situation for the third time, Niu Zida finally felt that something was wrong.

While still thinking, Aponia, holding Niu Zida, suddenly said:

"Master, there seem to be villages and towns in the distance."

Upon hearing Aponia's words, Niu Zida looked into the distance and indeed saw the faint outline of a village. At first, Niu Zida thought it was a mirage, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the low houses were becoming increasingly clear, and it really was a village. After walking a few kilometers further...

Chapter 681

We discovered that there was a slight reduction in vegetation here, clearly indicating that this was the edge of the desert.

"I never expected that we would land right on the edge of the desert. If it were really deep in the desert, it would be dangerous."

Niu Zida secretly rejoiced, but then felt something was amiss. Could such luck really exist in the world? After being attacked by the abyss monster, he happened to fall near a small village a few kilometers from the edge of the desert? And he just happened to be unharmed? But now wasn't the time to think about this. Niu Zida, Aponia, and Taihou had been on the move all day and were hungry and tired. Since there was a village nearby, they should find a place to rest first.

Aponia, carrying Niu Zida and leading Da Feng, finally arrived at the village after walking for a while. They then discovered that it was actually a fairly large town. After asking around, they learned that it was actually Kanata Town.

"Good heavens, we've suddenly reached the southwesternmost corner of the entire Haixi Continent!"

This place is at least 100 kilometers away from where Niu Zida and his group were attacked at the mine they found earlier. To be transported to such a far place in an instant, Erinas was practically a teleportation portal.

After entering Kanata Town, Niu Zida and his group wanted to find an inn to rest, but they couldn't find one for a long time. Didn't any outsiders come here to do business? This town seemed to be quite large.

"This place is really strange..."

Not only were there no inns, but there weren't even many people on the streets. It was difficult for Niu Zida and his group to even ask for a drink of water. This place was just like a small western town in a Western movie where no one dared to go out for most of the day because it was being harassed by bandits.

However, Niu Zida and his group soon realized why no one dared to go out on the street. It was almost dusk when a sharp roar suddenly came from outside. Several four-winged monsters were circling in the sky. At first, because of the darkness, they couldn't see them clearly. Niu Zida thought they were some strange birds. But when the monster flew low, he gasped. It wasn't some strange bird at all. It was a dragonfly that was at least three meters long!

"Can dragonflies grow this big? With such a monster appearing, no wonder no one dares to come out here."

The giant dragonfly, seemingly having spotted Niu Zida and his companions in the sky, swooped down with a strange hissing sound. Aponia immediately unleashed a move:

"Here I suffer evil thoughts!"

Aponia's powerful lightning strike instantly paralyzed the dragonfly in mid-air, sending it crashing to the ground, where it lay face down, its six delicate legs twitching. It seemed to have lost consciousness. Although she didn't have much power left, it was still more than enough to deal with a monster of this level.

"Master, are you alright? This place is indeed very strange."

Seeing the monster fall to its death, Taihou leaned against Aponia with lingering fear and asked Ushiko-da a question.

"I'm fine. It seems this place has also been invaded by monsters. No wonder there are so few people on the street."

"But what do we do with this thing?"

"The residents of these towns will probably see it tomorrow morning."
