Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!-Chapter 6: D3. Latent Heat

Driven by her wild nature, the Hero transformed into the Big Snake didn't have the slightest intention to stop. Retaining a vigorous desire to kill, she vanished into the darkness leading to the mine's underground.

But just as she fully entered the mine, sticking out her tongue to lick the thickening goblin stench in the air, searching for her next prey——

The snake transformation allowed the Hero to sense heat, and the probing tongue could directly capture particles from the air.

However, her mind was also influenced by her wild nature, and while her perception ability was superior to when she was human, she completely ignored the threat of inanimate objects.

Goblins are indeed magic creatures of low intelligence, but the Goblin Shaman is an exception. For it, possessing a certain level of wisdom, imitating humankind and laying traps was not a difficult task.

The traps arranged by the Goblin Shaman using the mine's abandoned equipment were no inferior to those of a seasoned hunter.

Focused on searching for prey, the Hero hadn't even realized what she had touched when a series of abnormal sounds rang out.

In this desolate mine, the Goblin Shaman awakened to intelligence had nothing to do, its only pleasure aside from harming its kind was indulging in the setting of traps.

Who knows how many foolish Goblins died because of the Shaman's traps, but it continues to enjoy them tirelessly.

And today, finally, a foolish outsider prey has stepped into its meticulously prepared trap at the entrance!

That human is done for! Because they've fallen into my Goblin Shaman's trap!

Feeling the trap's triggering, the Goblin Shaman is overjoyed and heads towards the entrance of the cave.

This desolate mine was once a territory of Humankind.

Although, after a long period of exploitation ended, all that was left here was a barren, grassless Desolate Mountain, during the prosperous days of mining, many miners and their families lived in this place, establishing a small village nearby.

They raised poultry and livestock in the village, planted vegetables, and improved the living conditions for the working miners, but as the mine lost its value for extraction, the village naturally became deserted as well.

The departing people took away the valuables but also left behind quite a few things.

That was where the Goblin Shaman found that bottle of Magic Potion and set up the trap.

After the Kingdom established the Professional Guild system, Magic and Magic Potions gradually became commonplace in everyday life. To make the livestock breed faster, Magic Alchemists developed a special Magic Potion to accelerate their entrance into the breeding season.

Not sure if it was simply forgotten or deemed unnecessary after returning to the city, the departing miners did not take this Magic Potion with them, and it fell into the hands of the Goblin Shaman.

After research and experimentation, the Goblin Shaman understood the use of this Potion—it was not supposed to be used on humans, but the Goblin dictionary obviously lacks the word "prohibition."

Who could it be there?

A male, or a female?

Whoever it is, they can't escape the destiny of being pierced by me.

But the former uses thick spikes, while the latter, the latter——

The Goblin Shaman giggled wickedly, eager to reach the entrance of the cave.

Then it froze in shock.

Because there, it was not a man, not a woman, not even a creature with limbs.

——But a Big Snake.

The Hero felt dizzy in her head.

After triggering some trap, a certain potion was poured over her head, soaking it completely.

The strange magic mirrored in the chemical agent entered her brain through her nasal passage and tongue, making this cold-blooded body feel hot.

Then, her detector pointed to a high-temperature body.

That was something she was supposed to kill, to entangle, to bring pain to——

[As a reptile, the snake has certain Exemption from beast medicine for poultry and livestock]

The massive snake lunged at the Goblin Shaman.

This terrifying situation was completely unexpected, but the Goblin Shaman still managed to Scream out and avoid the attack by rolling and scrambling to the side.
