This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 41 Underground Kingdom
The next day, Ji Chen led the entire army and rushed to the location where he met the kobold hunting team last time.

He intends to follow the river to the mountains to find the Kobold's lair.

As the terrain gradually becomes higher, the field of vision also becomes wider.

Standing on a rock, looking around.

There is a large lush jungle at the foot, and the boundless ocean behind it.

Looking at this altitude, you can also see merchant ships parked on the east side of the main island.

Ji Chen looked towards the mountains with jagged rocks and lush trees to the north, wondering where the kobolds' lairs might be.

The first is to analyze a wave.

First of all, most creatures need water to survive, and kobolds are no exception.

And to maintain such a large-scale group, its lair must be not far from the water source, that is to say, it is likely to be close to rivers, pools and other places.

Secondly, such a large-scale group also needs enough food, that is to say, the location of the nest is not far from the place where the food is obtained.

Analyzing and listing the conditions one by one in this way, the result is very clear——

do not know.

There are countless places in the entire mountainous region that meet these conditions.

In terms of water sources, there are so many water systems in the entire mountain area that it is impossible to judge.

The food aspect is even more vague. The main island is not that big, and it is even more difficult to judge if you can quickly reach any place on the island from the mountain.

Since it can't be analyzed, there is only one way now.

Ji Chen turned his head, looked at the aborigines who were following him, and said calmly.

"You lead me the way."

This native is one of the few people in their tribe who has found a cave where kobolds live, and knows the location of a cave entrance.

Just let him lead the way.

The native didn't say anything, and silently led the way.

They quickly walked through a forest and came to an unremarkable cliff.

The native pointed to the vines on the cliff, "There is a cave entrance inside."

Ji Chen nodded, signaling the murlocs to step forward.

The murloc's iron fork beat wildly, and quickly split the vines to pieces, revealing a dark hole.

The cave is roughly sloping downward, very dark, and the bottom cannot be seen.

With a wave of his arms, the murlocs began to enter the cave at the head of the pack.

Then there are pirates and sea elves with torches.

In the end, he, Alice and the natives were surrounded by Naga warriors.

As soon as I entered the cave, I felt a burst of coolness instantly, completely isolated from the outside temperature.

The cave is very humid, and water drops continuously seep from the rock wall, and flow to the ground and become stagnant water, making the ground muddy.

They soon found out.

On the muddy ground about ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, a string of fairly new-looking dog footprints appeared, extending all the way to the depths.

This made Ji Chen happy.

Since there are relatively new dog footprints here, it means that this entrance has recently entered and exited by kobolds, which means that this hole is likely to lead to the kobold's lair deep in the cave.

With this discovery, they went deep without delay.

Ji Chen also kept an eye on the changes in the all-seeing map.

The horizontal detection range of the all-seeing map is 1 kilometer in radius, but the vertical detection range is much smaller, only about 10 meters up and down.

So maybe in a place with complex terrain, the approaching kobolds may not be detected.

After walking down tens of meters, the murloc in front suddenly stopped and issued an early warning.

"Cuck!"

meaning is:

"There are traps."

Ji Chen was not surprised at all. The kobolds are not outstanding in combat, but they are very good at using traps to kill and capture prey.

So it is not surprising that they set up some traps outside their lair to defend against the enemy.

After letting the pirates with more nimble hands and feet destroy the trap, the group continued to move forward.

In the next ten minutes or so, they also encountered several traps one after another, but they were all noticed by the murlocs with good night vision ability, and destroyed them one by one without any risk.

So far, while there have been no casualties, no kobolds have been found.

After advancing for about 300 meters, they came to a fork in the road.

One each on the left and right.

Men left and women right, so choose left.

The team moved again.

When he advanced another 300 meters, he saw a red dot suddenly appearing on the edge of the map.

Ji Chen knew that he had made the right choice just now.

Simply stop hesitating and lead the army to kill directly.

The kobolds became vigilant when they heard the commotion here, and summoned a wave of kobolds to rush forward
The two sides soon met in a cave six or seven meters wide.

When the so-called enemies meet, they are particularly jealous.

Neither side had any intention of holding back, and the battle started instantly.

The kobolds charged with all kinds of weapons made of obsidian, barking furiously.

But what greeted them first was a wave of magic attacks.

The newly joined sea elves waved their staffs and shot water arrows, hitting the kobolds.

First, it pierced through the scale armor like an ordinary arrow, and pierced into the flesh.

Then the water arrows exploded like dynamite, and the water spray mixed with blood and minced meat splashed everywhere, adding a touch of blood to the damp cave.

Just the first wave of fourteen explosive water arrows killed and wounded nearly twenty kobolds, all wailing.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the water arrows, the murlocs and pirates at the front also rushed into the enemy group.

The number of kobolds in this wave was small, and they were quickly overwhelmed by murlocs and pirates.

"Ding~ the battle is over and you have gained 200 experience points."

Looking at the corpses everywhere, Ji Chen waved his hand to let the team move on without any hesitation.

Since there are indeed kobolds in this direction, as long as you keep going deep and killing all the way, you will be able to find their lair hiding sooner or later.

Quite a few kobolds sensed the intruders through the echoes of the shouts in the cave, and rushed over in groups.

But they ran into the murderous Ji Chen and the others head-on, and they all fell under their hands without exception.

The corpses were spread from the hole to the depths.

Seeing the teams of kobolds go and never return like meat buns beating dogs, the other kobolds also realized that something was wrong, and they did not rush up again, and gathered together one after another.

By this time, how did they not realize that the invading enemy was very powerful.

If this continues, the kobolds may be wiped out.

Seeing fewer and fewer kobolds attacking, Ji Chen also vaguely noticed this.

But it suits him.

Let the kobolds gather themselves first, so he happens to be able to deal with it in one go.

You know, the strength of his current arms has an overwhelming advantage over the kobolds.

If you are not afraid to fight them head-on, you are afraid that they will flee in all directions.

In this way, he has to spend more energy, looking for them like catching mosquitoes.

Now it has gone deep into the ground for an unknown number of meters. The surrounding caves are very dense and complex, and traces of kobold life can be seen everywhere.

These caves have different functions, some are for storing food, some are stuffed with thatch for living, some are specially used for worship, and some are warehouses.

The kobolds used the natural caves here, coupled with later excavation and expansion, to build a rather magnificent underground kingdom.

In each cave, I don't know how many resources are buried.

But what surprised him the most was.

This underground cave is actually connected to a small mine vein!
