Human King

Chapter 188: Slow

'This is really bad...' Didi thought as he looked at the spider's legs.

The spider was so big that the spider was basically covering the whole area where the goblins were hiding with just his legs.

That was how big the spider was.

And that was not all as Didi could certainly feel that the spider was stronger than any of the goblins existing here in this place.

Right, even himself. Even though Didi was a blessed goblin who has already received more than once the Blessings of the Battlefield, Didi was sure that he wouldn't be able to win against this spider.

That was why this situation was bad as Didi could even feel the strength of the spider even though the spider seems like he was just about to sleep.

Didi then whipped his head slowly towards the back to see the goblins who were hiding.

Una was just right beside him, and it seems that Una could also feel the power of the spider as his face was just pure horror right now.

However, what they were really worried about was not about the strength or the possible casualties if they fought against the spider.

What they were worried about was that...they might run out of time.

Right, they were worried about time since the goblins had to go to the center of the southeast of the forest as fast as possible to attack the home base of the three legendary hyenas.

After all, the goblins had to make a surprise attack. It wouldn't be a surprise attack if the enemies could see them before they could even start the attack.

That was why the goblins had to go there with the cover of the night.

However, if they were to be held here by the big ass spider, it was obvious that they wouldn't be able to use the night as a cover anymore.

What's more, Dawn should be coming to follow them at any moment now.

If Dawn was to come here without any idea about the spider, it was clear as day that they would be forced to fight and the whole idea about the surprise attack would be scalped.

Well, Dawn would be able to feel the big ass spider from a far distance and he would be able to make decisions from then on so it wouldn't really matter.

Anyways, Didi then whispered to Una who was just right beside him.

"Pass my order for the goblins stationed at the back. Move slowly and quietly. Follow my tracks."

Didi didn't want to waste his time deciding about things right now as he just had to keep it simple.

The goblins just had to get out of here quietly and this unexpected ordeal would be gone just like that.

That was why Didi passed down a really risky order like that.

However, it wouldn't really be risky if the goblins were to take care of every step they take while they were in the vicinity of the spider.

Didi knew that very well, and he also knew that the goblins would be able to control themselves better than anyone else, which is why he was pretty confident that they would be able to get out of this place easier than expected.

Of course, Una heard what Didi said, and he didn't offer any of his words nor did he try to refute Didi's words.

After all, Didi was the one who was leading the goblins, including Una.

He was the one who held absolute authority in this place. That was why he didn't really try to do anything against Didi's words.

Well, Una just didn't want to refute it.

Anyways, now that Una heard it, he whipped his head slowly to look at the next goblin behind them.

He then spoke the words that Didi told him to that goblin. Of course, that goblin was able to hear it perfectly as he just nodded his head as a response.

And the same process went on and on until the last goblin heard it.

Of course, they did that very quietly so that the spider wouldn't notice.

As for the spider...it seems that it was really planning to stay here as he wasn't even moving at all.

He was just staying there and was looking at the sky.

Well, the goblins didn't know what he was looking at as the goblins couldn't even see the spider's head.

Anyways, Didi could see that the goblins at the back heard and got his order, which is why he started to move his body slowly and carefully.

He looked at the ground first before he made his move, and he did that for every step he took.

He was so careful that it looked like Didi was not even moving in the first place.

However, it was the truth that he was indeed making progress as he kept doing that.

Of course, the goblins just followed his lead. Una was right behind Didi, and the other goblins, too.

It seems that the goblins have gotten better at controlling their bodies as they absolutely didn't make any sounds at all.

Even Didi who was at the front couldn't feel if the goblins were following him.

He was just believing that they were following him, and it was with that blind faith that he kept moving.

And after a long amount of time, Didi...could finally feel that the spider was no longer near him.

Although he couldn't say that the spider was now far away from him, he could definitely say that the spider was not as near to him as before.

That was why Didi looked back now to see if the goblins were able to follow his lead.

And as soon as he did, his face relaxed a little bit as he saw that the goblins were indeed following him.

It seems that no one messed up. Well, if there were someone who messed up, the spider would definitely start causing havoc in this place and Didi would pick up on that right away.

Of course, the fine long line composing of goblins was really long, and it seems that one of the goblins was still near the spider.

It was then that Una and some other goblins were able to reach Didi.

Una then spoke as he looked in the same direction Didi was looking at.

"We did it. That huge monster is probably sleeping right now. That call in moving slowly was a good one."

Una said as he praised Didi. Well, it was the truth that Didi's decision was really a good one if not, the best.

After all, they were able to get out of the situation without any injuries and casualties.

Now, they just had to wait for the other goblins to come here, and they would be able to start running quietly again.

Anyway, now that they were standing from a good distance away from the spider, the goblins could finally tell how big the spider was.

It was...just that big. There was no need for any other description.

"Anyway, that monster is really big. If he slept on the ground, we would have gotten squashed just with its body."

Una said as he looked at the spider with wonder in his eyes. It seems that he wanted to fight against the spider, but well.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to do that. 

It was then that Didi spoke as he looked at the last goblin who was still walking quietly.

"Una, is he having trouble?" Didi said as he squinted his eyes to look better at the last goblin.

The goblin was...walking very slowly compared to the other goblins, and Didi could also see that the goblin's body was shaking.

It was because of that that the goblin was falling behind the other goblins.

Of course, when Una heard what Didi just said, he whipped his head to look at that goblin.

And as soon as he did, his eyes soon witnessed the goblin...knocking over something!

Right, and the goblin was about to fall out of balance!

This scene was so...slow that Didi and Una opened their mouths and eyes faster than the goblin could fall down.

After all, if that goblin fell to the ground, the efforts that they spent on this would be wasted.

However, no matter how much time passed, the expected falling of the goblin to the ground...didn't happen.

"W-what the..." Didi murmured as confusion set in his mind, but that confusion soon disappeared as he saw a white body standing behind the goblin.

That white body...no, the arm of that white body was holding the goblin who was about to fall.

Of course, when Didi and Una looked up a little bit, they finally realized who it was.

Well, it was obvious just from the body, but it was Dawn, who was their king.

Dawn then began to walk towards the goblins who were watching him as he carried the goblin literally.

"What the hell did you guys run into..." Dawn murmured as he felt the monstrosity behind him.
