The next morning, Barrett finished eating a simple breakfast of hard-boiled eggs and oatmeal, and followed Frank to the edge of the forest where a large number of goblins were hidden.

He had a good rest last night. At Wendy's request, he also took a hot bath. Because Wendy said he had a peculiar smell on him, but it wasn't the ordinary smell of sweat. According to Wendy, the smell was a bit like the smell of a rabbit, and a bit like the smell of a wild dog. If you smell it carefully, it seems to have some bacon smell, in short, it's hard to describe. Fortunately, the smell wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.

Frank said it was the smell of killing, and swore that if a person killed enough lives, he would have such a smell on his body.

However, Wendy doesn't believe this statement. She believes that the "smell of killing" shouldn't be washed away by a bucket of hot water, but the smell of Barrett can.

After taking a shower, he drank the hot tea that Wendy brought him, and Barrett slept peacefully on the bed scented with apricot blossoms. He couldn't remember how long he hadn't had such a peaceful sleep. It was a complete mental relaxation, which made him feel like he was reborn the next day.

......

The forest in front of me is a sparse oak forest with a few laurel and ash trees in the middle. On the trunk of an oak tree closest to Barret, there were also clusters of emerald green mistletoe, and a few pale yellow flowers and bones were dotted in the emerald green, looking really lovely.

"These fields are too close to the forest, and no one wants to come here to farm." Frank sighed. "Some people have their heads broken by goblins with stones, some people have broken their legs while fleeing, and some people have had their ribs broken by goblins with wooden sticks when they resisted, but fortunately no one was killed."

"Because those goblins can't sneak attack." Barrett put his hand on the hilt of the Steel Bride, and habitually observed the surrounding environment. Not far away are several overgrown fields that have been abandoned. Scattered corn stalks are standing in the fields, withered leaves swaying gently with the cold wind, like some undead crawling out of the soil beckoning to you.

"Yes, they don't sneak up on their prey, and they don't stealthily surround their prey," Frank agreed. "Those little cubs are timid and greedy, stupid and impulsive, shouting every time they come out of the forest. Yes, they pushed each other, hoping that the other goblins would be the first to charge. But because of this, the goblins did not cause more serious damage."

"They're in there?" Barrett looked into the depths of the forest.

Frank nodded. "Listen to the militiamen from Tarun. There's a low lair deep in the forest, made of leaves, dead sticks, and rags. That's where the goblins used to be. They said they saw There was a guy that was much bigger than the other goblins commanding the other goblins, and I guess it was a bear goblin. You know, bear goblins are not easy to deal with, I want you to be careful."

A goblin bear? No wonder! Barrett nodded inwardly. Although goblins live in groups, most of the time they do not form large colonies. Whenever the number of goblins reaches a certain level, they will strife, quarrel, and fight. After this, some goblins will separate from the original community and go to other places.

But if a goblin community has a ruler like goblin bears, then the community will grow rapidly - although the infighting of the goblins will not be reduced, but at least a certain degree of unity can be maintained, Moreover, those goblins are often very obedient to obey the ruler, but their brains are not very good, and they can't listen to too complicated orders.

Barrett took out a small round iron shield from the space ring, put it on the forearm of his right hand, and pulled out the 'steel bride' from his waist, waved it a few times, and then walked into the forest .

"It can be done before noon." He said without looking back.

"Then I'll wait for your good news in the village." Frank shouted to Barrett, "Watch out for those tarantulas and bear goblins!" He was a little worried.

The oak forest is not large, and the distance between each oak tree is sparser than that of the firs in the misty forest, but low bushes dominated by heather and thorn are everywhere.

The morning sun shines through the treetops in the forest, there is no fog, everything seems so clear. With Barrett's already good and enhanced perception, he can even see a lynx hiding in the shadows waiting for prey at a great distance, a green snake crawling to the bird's nest to steal eggs, a A sparrow with a grasshopper in its mouth...

And, a squirrel crouching on an oak branch.

It was a chipmunk with five stripes on its back, and in its paws it was holding an acorn that was left over from the winter. The chipmunk gnawed on the acorn with its small teeth, and it was very happy, until a few stones flying from the tree interrupted its leisurely breakfast.

Two stones hit the tree trunk next to the chipmunk, and one stone rubbed its fur and flew into the distance. The frightened chipmunk stuffed the whole acorn in its mouth, burrowed into the branches of the oak tree and disappeared.

There was a faint noise of chirping in the bushes under the tree, and then a few more stones flew out and randomly passed through the treetops. Except for a few leaves, the stones didn't hit anything.

"I found you." Barrett said softly. He smiled and walked towards the direction where the stone appeared.

After walking about 700 or 800 meters, five little greenskins - goblins - with branches and stones in their hands, came out of the bushes. The reason for the head-on is that Barrett has been watching them early and constantly adjusting his route, and the goblins obviously do not have such ability.

They were startled by the big man who suddenly appeared in front of them. A few goblins stood there for three heartbeats, and then suddenly came back to their senses and pointed the branches and stones in their hands at Barrett. what are you talking about.

Barrett didn't understand goblin language, but he could guess the content of those voices from the frightened and stern expressions of these little greenskins. It's nothing more than asking him to put down his weapon, or, take out the food, otherwise he will be eaten or something like that.

If it is in the foggy forest, or the goblins around the Bay of Pigs, when they see a human, even a child of a few years old will turn and run away.

In fact, there are no goblins for a long distance around the Bay of Pigs. When those adventurers are bored and go hunting for game, they like to use those small things to practice their skills. Some of the goblins that were killed were just thrown away, while others were transported back to the Bay of Pigs, sold to a black-hearted butcher at a very low price, and then made into jerky and entered the mouths of some adventurers. middle.

The goblins in front of them were obviously used to a certain temper by the villagers of the 'Corn Village'. Not only did they not run, but they seemed to want to rob Barrett by taking advantage of their numbers.

One of the goblins held his head and thought hard, then pointed to the saber in Barrett's hand, and uttered a strange common language.

"Iron, throw it!" said the smart goblin who could speak a little common language. "Don't throw it, die!" It bared its teeth and made a vicious expression.

"You want it?" Barrett asked the goblin, pointing to the saber in his hand.

Although this goblin's common language is not good, it seems to be able to understand ~www.readwn.com~ throw. "The goblin repeated, and the rest of the goblins also raised the "weapon" in their hands in unison, shouting indiscriminately.

Barrett shrugged, "Okay, as you wish."

After speaking, the barbarian "obediently" threw the saber in his hand at the goblin, but with a little more force. The 'Iron Bride' came to the goblin in the blink of an eye with huge kinetic energy, and the sharp blade pierced its chest and nailed it to the ground.

The goblins around were taken aback by the sudden attack. They subconsciously turned around and wanted to run, but after finding that Barrit had no weapons in his hand, they were eager to try again.

One of the goblins threw the stone in his hand at Barrett, and the stone swayed towards Barritt in the air, and he easily held it in his hand.

Barret threw the stone in his hand up and down, and "returned" the stone to the goblin who attacked him. There was a confrontation between the stone and the goblin's forehead. Falling down, the red and white liquid was left on the ground.

The rest of the goblins were terrified. They froze in place, at a loss, not knowing whether to attack or flee.

Barrett walked towards them, and the goblins woke up, turned around and ran. Barrett pulled the 'Iron Bride' from the corpse of the smarter goblin and caught up with the slowest one in two steps. The sharp blade slid from top to bottom, and one goblin became two and a half. .

The lynx in the shadow threw down one of the remaining two goblins. It bit the goblin's neck in one bite, gave Barret a light look, and returned to the shadows with the goblin in its mouth.

Barritt didn't kill the last living creature, but let it escape and continued to move forward after chasing its footprints.
