175 Troll Village (1/2)
They soon encountered the first troll, roaming around with an ax. Looking at the green troll, he remembered the first encounter with Karan, 'Are you also a troll, Karan?'
—I am not a Troll, I am an Orc!
'Huh!? Are you sure? The orc I know does not have not green skin,' Tang Shaoyang suspiciously asked back. The Orc he knew was the orc from the second portal.
—Those orcs are fake, I am the real deal!
The Great Karan snorted unhappily for being compared with the weak orc from the second portal.
—There's no fake creature, you are an Orc, and the monster in the second portal is also an Orc. You both are the same but different subspecies, just like the green goblin and the dark goblin, the Death Scythe.
Zaneos came up with a plausible explanation.
'Then what about an Orc from your world? What they looked like?' The curious Tang Shaoyang asked while watching Lu An assassinate the troll. The young man activated [Dash] and sliced the troll's neck with [Fatal Strike].
—The Orc I know is similar to Karan, I don't know that a pig-headed orc exists. The second portal is my first time seeing that kind of an orc
—Do you hear that? Those weaklings are fake
Karan could not accept being compared, he yelled in his head. Tang Shaoyang chose not to continue the topic as he followed Lu An through the dense forests.
The deeper they were, the more trolls they encountered. After ten minutes of venturing into the forest, they had killed fifteen stage-2 Trolls in total. However, they found nothing unusual but the wandering trolls.
After killing the fifteenth, they continued to walk. Around fifty meters, Lu An and Tang Shaoyang stopped as they found an establishment, or more likely to be a village of the troll.
The moment their eyes stopped at the village, they saw a floating translucent screen on top of the village.
[Troll Village Level 1]
The words were big enough for them to see it from a fifty meters distance. Curious, both came closer to the village, but they did not attack the village. With wooden fences surrounding the village, wooden houses with a straw roof. Typically a backward village with trolls wandered around.
—Why don't you try [Basic Detection]?
Zaneos spoke in Tang Shaoyang's head, 'I am about to do that,' he replied while casting the skill. To his surprise, the skill was working in the village.

Lu An seemed to do the same, they exchanged glances with the information, ”Should we try raiding the village?” Lu An asked in a whisper.
The Boss rushed from the entrance while the subordinate sneaked into the village. It was a one-sided slaughter, the trolls would die before they could swing their ax. Lu An finished the stage-2 Troll Warrior, the last troll, and also the village chief.
Slash!
The troll's head rolled down on the ground while the body followed to fall afterward. They had killed all trolls, but no notifications whatsoever.
”Huh? What's wrong? Do we get nothing from capturing the village?” Lu An looked confused as the awaited notification did not come.
Tang Shaoyang looked around, wondering if they missed the troll. He looked up to check the village status.
