Obviously!
This Elder Goblin believed he wasn't dead because he had just shouted about the 'Troll Lords'.
Nolan shook his head slightly, looking at this Elder Goblin who was both cowardly, cunning, and foolish.
"Indeed, even with intelligence comparable to humans."
"But lacking cognitive abilities and other factors, he still appears foolish, unable to discern the basic situation in front of him, yet still trying to use it to threaten others."
Nolan chuckled, then suddenly lifted his leg and kicked the Elder Goblin in the chest.
Bang!
The Elder Goblin wailed, his body crashing heavily against a large tree behind him. This caused his already not fully healed wound to reopen from the impact, and intense pain assailed him.
"Ah, it hurts so much!"
"I won't dare again, Human Lord."
"Please spare me."
"Human Lord..."
The Elder Goblin's somewhat shrill voice echoed through the forest.
"So noisy."
"If you keep making noise, I'll kill you."
Nolan shouldered the iron sword in his hand and walked over step by step.
Upon hearing this.
The Elder Goblin quickly covered his mouth with his hand, shrinking at the base of the tree and trembling, his black pupils filled with terror.
Nolan walked up to him, looked down at the Elder Goblin, and nodded: "Very good, this means we can communicate normally."
"Y-yes, Human L-Lord."
"Tell me, your name."
"Human Lord, my name is Muguo."
"Muguo?"
"Yes, I-I like to eat fruits from trees, that's how I got this name, this is..."
Nolan impatiently waved his hand, interrupting the Elder Goblin: "No need for superfluous words, tell me, why are you here?"
"I-I..."
The Elder Goblin stammered.
"Don't try to hide it. I know you are from an Elder Goblin tribe called 'Jike Tribe'." Nolan said coldly, looking at the Elder Goblin's expression.
Elder Goblin Muguo shuddered when he heard the words "Jike Tribe", his face not only showing terror but also a look of fearful despair.
He didn't know why the human powerhouse in front of him would know about the existence of his tribe!
The next moment!
Elder Goblin Muguo, in a panic, blurted out everything.
The goblins' cunning, cowardice, and timidity were fully displayed in him.
The matter was not complicated.
June and July were the most suitable seasons for goblins to reproduce, but the Elder Goblin race found conception much more difficult than ordinary goblins.
Therefore, the Elder Goblin race would mate with ordinary goblins to produce offspring more easily. Although there was a high probability that only ordinary goblins would be born.
Compared to the pregnancy rate of Elder Goblins mating with Elder Goblins, it was obviously much higher.
Elder Goblin Muguo appeared in the outer area because he wanted to select some healthy and excellent individuals among the goblins to bring back to the "Jike Tribe" for better tribal reproduction.
As a result.
He encountered Nolan, who was slaying goblins, and after discovering that Nolan was alone, the subsequent events unfolded.
During Elder Goblin Muguo's rambling answers, Nolan also managed to figure out his abilities.

The professional information of this Elder Goblin Muguo was contrary to Nolan's initial guess; instead, it was the situation he considered less likely.
He was not a Druid.
But rather a double basic profession of "Skirmisher" and "Forest Priest."
This greatly surprised Nolan; he hadn't expected a mere goblin to be able to master a profession like "Forest Priest."
From the simple attack just now, Nolan could easily tell that this Elder Goblin's levels in both "Forest Priest" and "Skirmisher" were not high.
His overall level should not exceed 7Lv.
Skirmishers are inherently good at reconnaissance, exploration, and shooting. Most demi-humans living in the jungle, such as elves, can possess this profession.
The "Tracking" skill is considered a basic skill, and for Nolan, it had some use.
This Elder Goblin didn't know any more advanced skills.
As for the "Camouflage" magic.
Nolan was somewhat conflicted. This magic, apart from being quite effective in the jungle, didn't work particularly well in other places.
It was far inferior to the more adaptable, mana-based second-tier magic "Invisibility."
However!
Being able to acquire the rare basic profession of "Forest Priest," Nolan simply mastered it as well.
After acquiring these two basic professions from Elder Goblin Muguo.
Nolan didn't feel anything worth celebrating; instead, he frowned slightly.
He had noticed before that.
When Elder Goblin Muguo was escaping, the complex jungle environment seemed to have no effect on him at all; trees and bushes would automatically move out of his way.
Such an ability should not be an innate talent of an Elder Goblin.
Under Nolan's expressionless gaze.
Elder Goblin Muguo, cowering beneath the tree trunk, revealed a look of heartache and deep reluctance on his pained green face.
Only then did he unwillingly take off the white, bone-like object, the size of a billiard ball, that hung around his neck on a necklace made of a very tough vine.
This item appeared to be the bone of some animal. If Elder Goblin Muguo hadn't actively taken it off his neck, Nolan truly wouldn't have noticed it.
He had originally thought it was just some bone-style ornament carried by a demi-human like Elder Goblin Muguo.
"Human Lord, this is the treasure of our 'Jike Tribe'."
Elder Goblin Muguo held up the ancient necklace with both hands and respectfully offered it.
He was very clear that his life was now in the hands of the human in front of him. If he displeased the other party, he might very well lose his life immediately.
