Chapter 77 Gray Goblins
Goblins are... a very common type of creature.
They possess extremely strong vitality, remarkable reproductive capacity, and innate adaptability, enabling them to survive in almost any environment. In fact, when the wizard civilization was conquering the void universe, they even encountered a goblin civilization that had developed a vast empire.
Although they were ultimately destroyed by the wizards, this is enough to prove that goblins are indeed very resilient.
The gray goblin standing not far from Viktor at this moment is a close relative of goblins. They usually undergo a mutation in the underground environment, just like now. Their skin turns grayish-white, their pointed ears become round like humans, and they have red eyes that allow them to see more clearly and farther in the dark.
Compared to the filthy, chaotic, and unruly nature of ordinary goblins, grey goblins are much cleaner and more militaristic.
Although they will still be intimidated and flee due to the strength of the enemy, their threshold is greatly increased, making them more difficult to deal with once the scale becomes large.
Furthermore, large gray goblin tribes typically have two leaders: a gray goblin chieftain and a gray goblin priest.
The former emerged from the most powerful grey goblins, while the latter came from grey goblins who gained magic by accident.
Relying on the instincts within their bloodline, they can occasionally unleash some bloodline magic.
Together, these two forces, along with a large number of gray dwarf troops, make them a force that can give even some mortal kingdoms a headache.
But for wizards... the threat isn't that great.
Moreover, this guy's arrival is just in time, because gray goblins are genuine intelligent beings. Even if their intelligence is a bit low, they can still find a way to communicate. If they can capture this guy, they might have some concrete clues.
Then look at this gray goblin.
This guy wasn't very big, but Victor only had a basic understanding of goblin tribes and habits, and hadn't done any specific research. If it were a wizard who specialized in studying biological habits, he might be able to tell how old the goblin was, what his status was, and the general situation of the goblin tribe just by looking at him.
But while Viktor lacked the corresponding knowledge, he had his own methods.
Just as the gray goblin was about to burst out of the bushes, Victor had an idea. A giant hand made entirely of magic immediately appeared beside him and flew swiftly toward the gray goblin!
In the blink of an eye, before the gray goblin could even react, Viktor's Hand of Myrons had completely seized it.
The gray goblin screamed in terror, "Ah!!"
However, his mouth was immediately covered by one of Myron's fingers, turning his "ah" into "uh"!
Then, the Hand of Myron brought him to Victor. Looking at the gray goblin in front of him, Victor raised a hand and, without any sign of disdain, placed it on his head, forcibly establishing a connection with him using his mental power.
Seeing the fear in the other person's eyes, Victor asked, "What's your name?"
The gray goblins, who were still in a panic, were stunned and didn't quite react.
Because he couldn't actually understand what Viktor was saying, but because of the mental connection, he somehow understood what Viktor meant. His already not-so-bright brain immediately went blank, not understanding what was happening.
Victor understood that one could not be patient with such low-level creatures, so he wagged his finger at them.
Upon receiving the command, the Hand of Myron moved two fingers and pinched the gray goblin's arm, immediately applying force. Accompanied by a barely audible cracking sound, the gray goblin screamed, "Ah!"
Before he could even shout, his mouth was covered again... After more than ten seconds, Viktor spoke again: "I know you can understand what I'm saying, so you have to answer me the truth whenever I ask you a question."

"I can tell if you're lying or just spouting nonsense. If I find out you're deceiving me, you'll be crushed into a pulp!"
"Now that you understand what I mean, nod, or you're dead!"
"Mmm!!!"
The gray goblin struggled and nodded frantically.
"very good."
Victor raised his hand, signaling for the Hand of Myron to release the man's mouth, and then immediately asked, "What's your name?"
"{Wahahaha}"
"Where is your tribe located?"
"{Right over there}"
"How many people... are there any priests or chiefs?"
'
"{have}"
"Are there any other creatures living underground besides you gray goblins?"
"{There are many more, and many more humans like you}"
Victor raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but immediately asked, "Where are those humans?"
The gray goblin immediately replied, "{Go far behind you, and they're fighting each other. Our tribe raided them a while ago, but we didn't get much and came back empty-handed.}"
Fighting each other?
Viktor was even more surprised.
Although it's normal for humans to fight each other, the fact that they're fighting each other means there are quite a few humans in this underground world; otherwise, it would be very difficult for them to fight.
He was curious and continued to ask, "Have you seen those humans?"
The gray goblin's answer disappointed Victor: "No, I was just following behind, and we retreated before we even saw the humans."
Victor frowned. "What else do you know about those humans?"
Gray Goblin: "{I don't know.}"
Victor thought for a moment: "Do you know anything about ores or anything like that?"
Gray Goblin: "{I don't know.}"
Viktor asked again, "What about anything else of value?"
The gray goblin shook his head again: "{I don't know.}"
Victor glanced at the guy and saw that the other was looking at him with pleading eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he withdrew the magic he had built with the other party, and then with a wave of his hand, he exerted a sudden force on the gray goblin's hand, crushing the gray goblin into a pile of minced meat.
The magic dissipated, and the lump of flesh fell to the ground.
Viktor averted his eyes in disgust and turned to look at the location of the humans behind him.
Although there are still many clues yet to be found, the fact that humans survive in this underground world is already very important news.
Compared to these lowly monsters, humans are at least people with whom one can have detailed conversations.
If he could make contact with these humans, Victor felt that he would obtain more detailed clues about his mission to explore resources in this astral plane.
