Chapter 660 160. Goblins of Danma Tribe
The moss made the road very slippery, and this generation of rock formations contained a lot of water, which seeped through the cracks in the rock.

This section of the cave became very wet and cold, a drop of water fell from the roof of the cave, and it fell on the top of Jijiru's head with a 'tick' sound, making it shiver. With bandages all over his hands, he timidly followed the orc warrior to lead us the way.

Generally, where there is water in the rock formations, there will be groups of goblins living nearby, because there are bryophytes they depend on for survival. Usually goblins mainly collect moss on these rock walls to live. This light brown moss is considered underground. It exists at the bottom of the world's food chain, and there is also a kind of worm that emits a faint fluorescent light. They are the main source of meat for goblins.

Therefore, there will always be a tribe of goblins gathered near the rock formations with groundwater, and the size of these tribes of goblins is closely related to how many goblins can be supported by the moss on the cave wall.

Goblins are used to living in a dark world without light. In underground caves, the fuel that can make fire is actually just some dry tree roots, but for goblins, these roots are also materials for building shacks, so, For goblins, they are used to living in the dark, and their noses are far more sensitive than their eyes.

This is a fork in the road that must pass from the altar to the blood pool where the devil's blood is stored. We are slowly exploring ahead. Originally, some orc warriors had been sent to clean it up, but according to Jijiru's information, it seems that there are still hidden treasures here. With a very large tribe of goblins.

With a sound of "噗呲", the cave was extremely quiet, and the faint sound fell into my ears, like a stone hitting Pei Ge.

The orc warrior walking in the front stopped suddenly at the corner, and then quickly raised the ebony shield in his hand above his head, and heard the continuous sound of "噗味呀味味味" again. In the dark place in front of the cave, Blow arrows flew over constantly, and the orc warriors held up their shields to protect their bodies, trying to rush over and pull out the goblins hiding in the dark.

Jijilu, who was following the orc warrior, ran back in fright, and shouted at me: "Master Jijia, the guard post of the Danma tribe is ahead..."

Before it finished yelling, it was kicked to the ground by Kalancuo. She quickly untied the crossbow behind her and held it in her hand. The soldier shouted: "Don't be impulsive, be careful of the trap."

I stood where I was, with a glimmer of light condensed in the palm of my hand, and I drew a simple magic circle.

"Twilight Illumination" is the simplest light magic I found in the library a few days ago, but it also belongs to the category of general magic, and it needs to have pure light magic elements to cast it. Originally, I just wanted to Try it, I didn't expect that some nodes actually store light magic elements, so I learned this light magic.

(Universal magic: The magic pattern circle has a simple structure and consumes very little mana, but requires pure magic elements.)
The magic circle condensed a faint magic line, which was connected between my fingers and the glimmer of light. I could clearly feel that the glimmer of light was fluttering with my mind, and I controlled this A twilight light drifted forward, and the twilight light was very soft, filling the dark cave with dim light, and that area was the area that Kalancuo could see in front of him.

As expected, under the illumination of the 'twilight lighting technique', there is a huge net on the top of the cave wall, if you walk up rashly, you may be caught by the net.

Under the effect of the lighting technique, three goblins holding long blowpipes stood on the stone platform protruding from the top of the stone wall, looking at the glimmer of light floating on the cave roof with a look of horror, their sights were completely blocked. The group of light attracted the past.

Kalancuo raised his crossbow, aimed at one of the goblins, and pulled the trigger. A short-tailed crossbow arrow, like a thin black thread, crossed the sky and shot into the skull of one of the goblins. Its body was crushed. The huge inertia caused him to fall backwards, and the sharp crossbow dragged the short goblin deeply into the stone wall,

The two female orc warriors behind her held up their strong crossbows, following Kalancuo's movements, they were also well-trained and pulled the crossbows at the same time, and the two short-tailed crossbow bolts also accurately nailed the goblin to the stone wall.

In the orc tribe, female orc warriors are usually good at throwing stones, bows and arrows, so they also use crossbows very well. According to the previous battle plan, the goblin scouts on the sniper post are the duties of the five female orc warriors in the team .

Our team passed under the raised stone platform. The bodies of the three goblins on the raised platform were still twitching, and black and purple blood flowed down the stone wall.

Kalancuo pointed the crossbow in his hand at Jijilu's forehead, and said in a hateful voice: "Be smarter next time, if I feel that you deliberately did not remind us that there is a sentry ahead, I will nail you to the wall too! "

Jijirou's legs were so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and then scrambled to the front to lead the way.

The orc warrior who walked in the front put the wooden shield beside him, pulled out the poisonous spikes on the breastplate, and held the torch in one hand, and smiled at the goblin Jijiru, which made Jijiru crouch On the ground, holding his head and howling, the exaggerated and miserable sound was like being beaten badly, and it could be heard far away in a quiet and dark cave.

……

Jijilu led us across a rock crevice that was more than three meters wide and bottomless, turned a few turns, and found a new tunnel entrance at the back of a low rock depression, the entrance of this cave. It's only over one meter high, and it extends upward in a zigzag direction. I used the 'twilight lighting technique' to probe inside.

The faint ball of magic light floated into the cave, and after a few twists and turns, it disappeared. It seemed that it had traveled a long way.

Because the hole is too small, the orc warriors can't walk at all, they can only crawl inside. The tauren Luka looks desperately at the one-meter-wide hole... His shoulders are too wide. For him, the hole is even more difficult. It's like a dog hole, he can't climb through it at all, so I asked him to take two orc warriors to guard the tunnel entrance. I'm worried that once the tunnel entrance is blocked or controlled by goblins, then our retreat will be impossible. up.

Both Kalantso and I were worried that Jijiru, the leader of the Pandawang goblins, was playing tricks on us, so we decided not to let the strong orc warriors lead the way.

Kalancuo tied Jijilu tightly with a strong rope, held the other end of the rope in her hand, kicked Jijilu into the cave, and she followed suit.

The orc female warriors are smaller in stature, and it is more convenient to crawl in this one-meter-high cave than those orc warriors. I was worried that Kalancuo would be in danger, so I followed behind her.

The ground of this section of passage is very smooth and flat. It seems that the goblins dug it out, and set up a simple concealment method at the entrance of the cave, so that the entrance of the cave looks like it is opened on the back of the stone wall. If it is not for Jijiru to lead the way, it will be difficult to find .

Jijilu walked in the front, and Kalancuo held a short spear in the other hand, and the spearhead of the short spear was pierced on its buttocks. As long as he dared to make a slight movement, the spear in Kalancuo's hand would definitely not move. Without hesitation, it pierced through its buttocks and came out of its mouth.

This is a tunnel that extends upwards in a spiral shape, just like the stairs in an ivory tower, but for us humans, the hole is too short and we can only crawl inside. People in the cave, if they want to leave the same way, they will not be able to retreat.

However, this narrow tunnel is fairly well ventilated. We crawled inside without being too stuffy. The traces made by chisels on the stone wall were vivid in our minds. Suddenly a hole appeared.

At this time, Jijirou hid by the edge of the cave, and refused to go any further. The inside of the cave was pitch black, and he didn't know how big the cave was, but there were some gnawing objects and There are rustling sounds, it seems that we have found the right place, there is a huge tribe of goblins hidden here.

Another 'twilight lighting technique' was thrown out, and the ball of light followed my mind, floating upward like a hydrogen balloon, the light changed from weak to bright, under the dim lighting technique, I And finally saw the whole picture here, this cave is not a huge circular, but a narrow and long tunnel, on the stone wall of this wide tunnel, the goblins dug out many nests like beehives.

This goblin tribe, unlike the goblin tribes we met before, built shacks made of tree roots on the ground.

When the ball of magic light slowly rose, there were countless densely packed caves on the stone wall, and a few pairs of small green eyes popped out of those caves, all looking in horror at the constantly floating magic light ball.

The stone walls of the cave are all excavated lairs, extending into the darkness. Since there is not enough light here, the specific number of goblins in the cave cannot be seen. It is only a rough estimate. The number of this huge goblin group is by no means less than five Qian, I didn't expect that in just three years, a large tribe would secretly develop here.

Both Kalantso and I looked at each other in horror. This is not too far from the warehouse where we store golden cider and wheat flour. If there is such a day, these goblins will start peeping at my warehouse below, trying to get through a The tunnel is estimated to be a matter of a few days. It is very simple, and the reason is that their population base is too large.

It is still necessary to investigate the specific situation of this tribe, and then arrange the most appropriate battle plan. The two most vigorous orc warriors groped out to the left and right sides along the edge of the cave stone wall. Running wildly in the cave full of goblins, trying to find out where the end of the grotto on both sides is.

The goblins of this tribe discovered our existence, and there was no panic scene, nor did they send messengers to understand the situation. From the moment they found us, they began to gather goblin warriors, in the cave on the stone wall, constantly Some strong goblins quickly climbed down from the cave wall, and they basically had some clanging copper pieces and some simple bark armor on their bodies.

These green-skinned monkeys held a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron in their hands, blades, sticks, darts, wooden bows and arrows, and kept screaming strangely. From the beginning, dozens of people gathered, and then hundreds of people, and then black and white One of them is full of goblin fighters.

Soon, the two orc warriors sent out to investigate returned and brought me a very beneficial news for us: this cave is actually a narrow and long life and death path. After groping to the end of the cave, the orc warrior who was exploring to the right ran out for nearly a kilometer, only to find that the grottoes on the cave walls gradually decreased, and finally stopped there abruptly.

In this way, the entire goblin tribe is like a huge pocket, so as long as we completely seal the exit, these huge goblin tribes will become a turtle in an urn.

Kalancuo pulled the rope in his hand, and Jijiru, the goblin who was tied to the other end of the rope, was pulled to her feet. Giroud crawled at her feet, trying to kiss her leather boots.

Being kicked away by Kalantso in disgust, Jijilu's face was clearly printed with Kalantso's boot prints, and one side of his face was swollen.

A sharp long sword was pressed against Jijilu's throat, and the tip of the sword pierced a trace of blood. Kalancuo stared at Jijilu coldly and asked: "These green-skinned monkeys of the Danma tribe, How many such tunnels have been dug to connect with other caves?"

Jijilu has been completely subdued by Karan, and he is very worried that he will continue to be beaten, because Kalancuo said to it before: If Jijilu hesitates in answering her questions, he will be punished. to her beating.

Jijirou, who had been bruised and swollen from the beating, didn't dare to hesitate, and said without thinking, "No more, I swear it's the only one."

Kalantso asked it again: "It's really gone, maybe there are other secret passages that you don't know about?"

Jijilu immediately patted his chest and assured: "No, no, this... This kind of secret tunnel connecting caves and caves is very difficult to dig. It requires luck. The leader of the Danma tribe is very familiar with me. They are Because of this secret tunnel, I live here, because if you walk down the tunnel here, you can find food!"

A plan was brewing in my heart, and we simply ignored the goblin warriors who continued to gather not far away.

I asked Kalanzuo to send someone to inform the tauren Luka and the other two orc warriors who were guarding the other end of the man-made tunnel. As long as any goblin climbed out of the tunnel, they would all be stabbed to death with a spear. This is like A tunnel like a dog hole, as long as there are two orc warriors standing on both sides of the tunnel exit with spears in their hands, they can firmly guard the entrance of the tunnel.

...When a goblin climbs out, kill one.

I also specifically told Luka the tauren that if too many goblins rush out, you might as well find some big rocks to block the entrance of the cave, leaving only a gap for the goblins to crawl out, so that hunting goblins will be more convenient Some.

The tauren Luka is a very stable warrior, and he should execute my arrangements meticulously.

And our entire team of 19 people marched along the rock wall of this cave to the right, preparing to quickly reach the place without the cave, and control the largest exit of this goblin tribe in our hands.

At this time, the goblin warriors, who had gathered nearly a thousand people, were standing 50 meters away from us. The noisy goblin language was like a strange humming sound in the cave. The goblins with wooden bows and arrows suddenly came to the front of the whole goblin team. They lined up in a long row, and they stretched their bows and arrows at us from a distance of 50 meters.

The well-trained orc warriors in the team hold shields in their right hands, forming a shield wall to protect me, Kalantso, and ten warriors holding crossbows. Go to the exit of the cave.

Those goblins who gathered together found that we had fled without a fight, and suddenly became more courageous. Those goblin archers standing in front threw wooden arrows one after another. rain.

And those goblin warriors who were poorly prepared, howled loudly, raised the broken copper and iron swords in their hands, and all came to cover and kill...
