Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

Black Iron Tribe.

Inside the room of the leader, Quayles.

The golden giant armor and the huge silver square warhammer were neatly placed between Gojin and Quells.

"Goggin..."

Looking at the glittering golden equipment, the eyes of the one-eyed troll, Quells, actually exuded a hint of surprise...

"...Gojin, I don't know what to say...or, how to praise you."

"Father……"

"... Between you and me, why do you need so many courtesies? This is what I should do."

Looking at Gojin standing upright in front of him, Qualls actually had tears in his eyes.

"Gojin, do you know? I have always believed that you are an extraordinary ogre..."

Qualls slowly stood up from his original seat, came to Goggin's side, and continued——

"Back then, the old forest priest judged that you were a deformed and weak ogre, and thought that you were not qualified to be a member of the Black Iron tribe, but I believe that your ability has always been unknown to others!"

"So, father, did you use the prestige of the leader to suppress other people's decision to execute me?"

Gojin seemed to have heard about those things back then, and asked lightly.

Qualls was silent for a moment, then replied——

"No, in fact, I didn't discover your ability at the beginning. But, isn't it what every father should do to protect his children from harm?"

Goggin was a little surprised.

Although he always knew that his father Quells had a preference for him, but when the other party really said it, he couldn't help being shocked.

And when Ge Jin looked up and saw the faint tears in Quells' eyes, Ge Jin understood that his father had always been protecting him!
Even before he created value for his tribe, he always protected himself.

"Thank you, Father!"

……

Goggin left the room of the leader Qualls.

As for Qualls, he is also constantly observing and admiring the gladiator equipment he just obtained.

"Brother, it seems that you are really free at ordinary times."

It is the third brother Fakule.

This strong and very strong combat-specialized ogre inherited most of the excellent combat genes of his father, Quells.

He is very recognizable, because in this Dark Iron tribe, most ogres are round and fat.

Only Quells and Fakule, the two strong ogres, also have a figure that matches the strong.

Inverted triangle fit body, eight-pack abs neatly arranged.

(Of course, Goggin is one too, but no ogre cares about "dwarf" abs)

"Fakule?"

Gojin murmured to himself suspiciously, he remembered Fakule's room, which was far away from him, how could he meet him?

"Hmph, what a useless ogre, I've been following you for a long time, and you only found me now."

Gojin smiled awkwardly, a little speechless.

It seems that the third brother in front of him is looking for trouble for himself?
Gojin said nothing, and Fakule didn't say anything.

Quickly stepped forward a few steps to get close to Gojin. With Fakule's skill, Gojin didn't react at all.

"Although, I've always been reluctant to admit to your short and useless brother, but..."

As Fakule said, he knelt down slightly on one knee, and from his left hand, a magic crystal nucleus emitting a green light appeared.

"...This is the magic crystal nucleus that can only be contained in a first-class magical beast, and this one is comparable to the snake king Pandora that my father killed back then. Take it."

Goggin was a little stunned,

But the tall Fakule had already directly stuffed the magic crystal core into him.

You must know that things like magic crystal cores are one of the indispensable treasures for forging legendary weapons.

Moreover, for the battle-specialized ogres, they can forcibly use the magic crystal core to greatly increase their strength in a short period of time.

For Fakule and Gojin, this thing may be a life-saving move at critical moments.

And he, did he just give it to Ge Jin?

"Don't think too much, this is a monster I hunted alone, and it is not under the control of the tribe."

Fakule seemed to see Gojin's hesitation, and added an explanation——

"Besides, I don't need to be strengthened by this thing. The side effects are too serious. I'd better save my brother's life for a waste like you. Maybe at a critical moment, I can escape."

As Fakule said, he left without looking back.

Only Ge Jin was left holding the emerald green jewel-like magic crystal nucleus, standing silently in place.

"correct……"

Fakule seemed to have thought of something, stopped and looked back and said——

"For my birthday, make me a whole roast pig! That's my gift."

After saying that, Fakule quickly left with imperceptible movements.

Gojin stood where he was, and put the precious magic crystal nucleus into his pocket.

"You are such a cute and arrogant brother."

……

Goggin did not return to his room.

He still has a promise to fulfill.

……

Under the glamorous moonlight, the clansmen had already fallen asleep.

As agreed during the day, Gojin came to the stone room and brought out the old witch who was tightly wrapped in black cloth.

Just like the promise Goggin made at the beginning, after hearing the last part of the old witch's unique story, he will fulfill his promise and set her free.

What made Gojin a little strange was that the old witch, who had escaped the fate of becoming food and was about to be free, didn't seem to be very excited and looking forward to it. It was completely different from the human girl he let go a few days ago.

At that time, the gesture of the human girl who was even willing to lick Goggin's toes was still fresh in his memory, and it also made him experience for the first time the wonderful feeling of the superior controlling everything.

Although the religious stories told by the girl were a bit boring and tedious, the girl finally exchanged freedom from Gojin in another way...

She taught Goggin what a "woman" is.

……

Shaking his head to shake off his inexplicable thoughts, Gojin carefully grabbed the old witch's arm and led her away from the tribal territory.

To be on the safe side, he blindfolded the old witch's eyes in advance.

Although he also knows that this method is superfluous for many humanoids and subhumans, but for humans, this method is still very effective.

Goggin finally managed to lead the old witch out of the Black Iron camp after crossing a narrow path and carefully stepping over the grunting ogre sentry.

……

"Now, you can tell me the ending of that story."

A few miles away from the camp of the Black Iron tribe, Goggin and the old witch stopped at the same time.

"Not urgent……"

The old witch said calmly, her crooked figure even made people doubt whether she could walk through this dense forest full of monsters alone.

"Do you need any preparations?"

……
