I quickly opened my Status to see, and sure enough, my Luck had increased to 2. I was making progress. With the hides stacked neatly in my inventory, I continued the journey all the way until I spotted something in the distance. Fences. X marks the spot. I crept closer carefully, trying not to reveal myself to my surroundings. I was correct; it was a camp for the goblins. Roughly built wooden fences were put up in a U shape around a cave entrance, and beyond the hills, the Fang Highlands stretched for miles on end. The cave was barricaded away, and the camp was made of 2 big, makeshift tents made of animal skins and furs, and a simple campfire that was burning in the middle. I went closer to inspect the location. There was a goblin standing on each side of the cave entrance, and three more around the campfire, along with two more guards out in front. And a bigger shadow moving in the tent closer to me that soon revealed itself. A goblin — a huge one — came out and started talking to the ones around the fire in a language I couldn't understand. It was tall, almost humanlike, only much uglier, pulling a two headed battleaxe, raking the ground behind. It also had a makeshift helmet on, protecting its head. The two goblins at the camp entrance were level 3 Goblin Scouts, while the ones around the campfire were Gatherers, just like the one I killed earlier. The two at the cave were Goblin Fighters, and they were level 4. I was pretty certain I could take on all of them if I was careful and used guerilla tactics. Although the two Scouts had bows, I doubted they were better at using them than I was. The Fighters had machete-like bronze blades, only a bit longer than the knife I had looted, but they also had leather cowls on their heads. The problem was the big one. Goblin Campleader Level 5 If they all closed in on me, I'd be dead in a heartbeat. However, the surroundings of the camp were to my advantage. I could shoot through the fence as the elevation benefited me. Trees and bushes were also abundant, so I could play a little hide-and-seek with my prey if I chose to. I could probably take out one or two before they even noticed the threat. I got into position. It felt risky engaging this many enemies higher level than me, but at worst I'd just die and respawn. I had to take a chance, as it looked like I was the first player who got this deep into the forest, and I wasn't sure what the respawn rate was for this camp, but it was certainly way lower than ordinary mobs. Not to mention, I was also intrigued by the barricaded cave. I shot three arrows in quick succession. The first two hit the head, dealing increased damage, and by the time the two guards realized what was happening, the third arrow finished the first scout off. I disengaged and changed my position. It was a wise move, as the goblin quickly realized the direction my attack came from and retaliated by shooting an arrow there. However, I was already gone. The other goblins didn't notice the situation just yet, but the second scout was clever enough to cry for help. Instead of shooting arrows like a blind man — or goblin — it ran towards the rest of its peers, screaming. I nocked and released, and only by the time it fell dead on the ground did the others realize they were being ambushed. I hid behind the bushes and trees and waltzed to the other side of the camp. I could have kept shooting and taking out some of them in the process, but I didn't want them to catch me in melee range. The three gatherers and one fighter surged out of the camp and started looking for me, while the other fighter and the big one stayed inside. I increased the distance between me and the monsters before shooting at them. I sent arrow after arrow, revealing my position, and they started charging at me in a convenient line, which only meant one thing. Piercing Shot! I felt like a movie protagonist because the shot connected perfectly. All three gatherers died, but the Fighter was still at half hea
