Chapter Seventy-Three: Goblin's Ambush

By the small river deep in the jungle, in the bushes high up, Zero and several dwarven boys carefully hid in the bushes, silently looking at the three goblins playing in the river not far away.

"This is the Goblin ......" Zero muttered as he looked at the dwarf, green humanoid creature that was making a high-pitched cry as it fought in the river.

Ten meters away from them, the bushes on the other side of the river shook a little, and it was another wave of dwarven boys hiding inside. Their plan was to split up in two groups and approach the three goblins, waiting for the three goblins to come out of the water, no matter which side of the creek they landed, and with their evenly distributed numbers on both sides of the river, they would be enough to catch the three skinny goblins.

"Let's get a little closer, and don't let these three goblins run away. Kunu lowered his voice and said to the people beside him.

"If you get too close, you won't be discovered, will you?" asked Duno in a low voice.

"Just don't talk too much, goblins are fools. Kunu said.

Zero crouched in the bushes, observing the three goblins playing in the river through the dense foliage, he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I have a more thoughtful way......

"What's the solution?" asked Kunu.

Everyone watched in confusion as Zero reached out to his waist and pulled out the model of the weapon inserted in his belt, only to see that he held the sword-shaped model in his hand, and an arc of lightning flashed from above.

"It's ......" Archie was a little taken aback, and Dunno covered his mouth in time to prevent his voice from being heard by the goblins.

Zero shook the model in his hand and whispered: "It is enchanted with a ninth-level thunder magic - arc thorn, which can be cast instantly, and the river water is a good conductor of the thunder element, as long as it can be thrown near the three goblins, keep it and let them turn their bellies in the water." ”

"Well done!" Kunu whispered a thumbs-up to Zero.

"I didn't expect you to be an enchanter too. Duno said.

"As a ninthia magician, it would be shabby not knowing how to enchant, and it just so happened that Archie had taught me a lot of enchantment techniques during this time, which was just right for me. Zero patted Archie on the shoulder beside him and said.

Archie grinned and poked Zero's chest with his elbow, the corners of Kunu's mouth rose, and he couldn't help but be excited and said, "Then let's get closer, and later, let's give these three goblins a thunderbolt massage~"

"Boom la la ......"

Just as they were about to start moving, they suddenly saw a shaking in the bushes beside them.

Everyone noticed the movement, and the expressions on everyone's faces instantly tensed, and suddenly, the bushes in another place also shook.

"What's going on?" Archie asked quietly, frowning.

Zero put his index finger in front of his mouth to signal him to be quiet, and the telekinesis in the sea of thoughts quietly expanded, and Zero's telepathic field covered the surrounding environment in just a few seconds.

It doesn't matter if this is detected or not, Detection Zero's face changed instantly, and there were no less than twenty goblins hiding in these bushes around them, and there were a few hidden in the treetops above their heads.

"Run!" Zero shouted and stood up.

But it was too late, a huge grass net fell from the sky, and before everyone could react, they were covered in the net.

The dwarves all stood up and tried to break the grass net and escape, but found that the net was so strong that they could not tear it with their strength, and they had no weapons in their hands.

Sharp and strange shouts rang out all around, and the goblins who were lying in ambush jumped out from all sides, all armed with weapons such as knives and spears, and surrounded the Zero and Dwarves in the net, and several goblins fell from the treetops above their heads and stepped on the net.

"How so?!" shouted Duno.

On the other side of the river, there were also the strange cries of goblins and the cries for help from the dwarves, and Kunu looked at the other bank of the net, writhing and squirming, and scolded: "Tanmeng, you stupid pig! Didn't you say there were only three?!

Zero was pointed at by the goblins with spears and walked forward slowly, and when he reached the dwarf with his hands tied, the goblins behind him kicked him in the joint of the legs and knocked him to the ground, and then two goblins rushed up and pinned him to the ground, and began to tie his hands behind him with ropes. After doing all this, Zero was kicked into the dwarf pile.

"Brother Zero, are you alright?" Archie asked him in a whisper.

Zero shook his head and didn't speak, looking at the dwarves in front of him who were pressed to the ground one by one with their hands tied behind their backs, Zero frowned and looked around.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a long-planned trap, the environment here is very suitable for ambushes, it seems that these goblins have long been ambushed around, they released three goblins to lure the dwarves to come and sneak attack, and then surrounded the dwarves in the middle of the plan, it is really a good plan, but the key is the person who brought everyone into the trap......

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Tanmeng, who was sitting on the ground with a pale face and a cowardly face, and became suspicious of this person in his heart. However, the other party is a dwarf himself, so there should be no reason to help the goblins seduce his own people, which is not beneficial to him at all.

Kunu was kicked by the dwarf to Zero's side, he got up from the ground and sat on the ground, looked at the dozens of goblins with weapons around him, and asked Zero in a solemn voice, "What should I do, Zero?"

Zero glanced around and asked Kunu in a low voice, "Can goblins understand human speech?"

"I can understand a ghost," Kunu said with a frown and a low voice, "Who understands the goblins' babbling, the dwarves and goblins meet directly, and they don't even ......have a chance to negotiate."

Zero looked at the dwarves in front of him who were tied one by one, and said to Kunu: "Look, these goblins don't tie our feet, they must be escorting us to somewhere else, I have a knife here, I'll secretly cut the rope later, and then use magic to contain these goblins, you take the knife and run with everyone, and cut the rope while running......"

"What about you?" Kunu asked, looking at Zero.

"I've got to stay and keep these goblins in check. Zero replied in a whisper.

"No!" Archie beside him said anxiously, and then he noticed several goblins looking at them, and several of them immediately pretended to be nothing.

After the nervousness, Kunu lowered his voice and said to Zero, "You can't deal with so many goblins alone." ”

"I'm a magician, trust me. Zero said firmly.

"I'm staying with you. Kunu looked at Zero and said, "You can't handle it alone." ”

"You have to run so I can cast my magic freely, do you know magic?" asked Kunu in a low voice, "Magic is something that can easily hurt your companions." ”

"But...... Brother Zero, you're alone......" Archie said worriedly.

"You just believe me, I can do it alone, you just run, don't stay. Zero said to them seriously.

Kunu looked at Zero's side face and said to him, "You have to promise us that you will return to the dwarf village alive." ”

"I assure you. Zero looked at Kunu and said, "Now, go tell the plan to the people behind you." ”

At the entrance of the dwarf village, Narin looked at Lula, Zeya and Yimeng who hurriedly ran into the village with a hoe, and she greeted them with a smile: "You three little guys are not afraid of falling down when they run so fast?"

"Aunt Narin!" Zeya shouted as she looked at Narin, "Hurry up...... Inform the Patriarch ......"

Narin looked at the anxious looks on the faces of the three girls, she immediately put down her hoe and asked with a serious face, "What's the matter?

"Woo woo woo ......" Lemon cried out with tears in her eyes, "Archie, Kunu and ...... Other boys ......"

"They're running out of the Matrix!" Lula shouted anxiously, stomping her foot.

"What?!" Narin was shocked, "what are they running out for?"

"They said they had found the lone goblin and were going to catch them!" Zeya said as she gasped.

"Isn't this nonsense?!" Narin shouted, turning and running towards the village.

Zero and many of the dwarven boys were tied together by the goblins with a long rope, and the group formed a long line by the river and were escorted forward by the goblins.

Zero carefully held the knife he had taken out of the storage ring in the morning, and he quietly cut the rope that bound his hands with the knife as he walked. Suddenly, he fell forward, and the whole person fell on Kunu who was walking in front of him, and several dwarves behind him also fell.

The goblin let out a strange cry and pointed his weapon at Zero and a few fallen dwarves, and the crowd began to staggered up from the ground. Zero took the opportunity to shove the knife into his hand back-to-back with Kunu.

"Move fast. Zero whispered, stood up, and continued to pretend that nothing had happened.

Kunu understood, twisting his fingers cautiously, and began to cut the rope that bound his hands with a knife, and Zero mobilized his mental power to reach into the rushing river at his side.

A slender stream of water swam out of the river, and the thin stream hung silently less than 5 centimeters above the ground, slowly approaching the legs of the surrounding goblins.

Seeing that Kunu's rope was almost cut, Zero said "It's now", and the trickle that had been suspended at the feet of all the goblins suddenly stuck to the goblin's feet, and Zero suddenly broke free from the rope that tied his hands, and quickly threw the weapon model in his hand out.

......A strong electric light flashed, and all the dwarves saw the scene in front of them, and a flash of lightning wrapped around the goblins like a white snake, and the goblins grew up and kept making a piercing strange scream, and instantly lay on the ground and began to twitch.

"Run!" Zero shouted, and the dwarves around him who were stunned immediately came to their senses and turned to run the way they came.

Zero took a few steps back, and with a wave of his arm, he brought up a large river of water and threw himself at the goblins behind him who were not electrocuted.

The river only made the pursuing goblins take a few steps back, and did not stop them from pursuing, and they chased after Zero with scimitar spears in their hands, and let out a piercing scream. On Zero's side, the dwarven boys who fled for their lives scrambled forward with the only knife they had to cut the ropes, and at odds and slowly.

Zero turned around and threw out the fire magic that had been brewing in his hand. Who knew that the goblins reacted very quickly, and directly dodged the magic and continued to rush towards them.

"Run, leave the rope alone, run together, run into the matrix!" Zero shouted, and began to prepare the thunder magic in his hand.

"Go, go!" Kunu shouted, pulling Archie to the road beside him.

"But, Brother Zero......" Archie ran as he looked back at Zero who was casting a spell.

"Trust him! we've agreed to run back!" Kunu shouted through gritted teeth, pulling Archie as if he were running for his life.

"Shock web!" Zero said in his mouth, stretched out his hands forward, and a blue-purple magic array was suspended in front of each palm, and two light blue thunderbolts quickly stretched out in front of him like spider webs.

It's a lightning spell with a lot of range, but it doesn't hurt enough to kill you. Zero didn't have time to brew high-level magic, so he had to use this kind of large-range, fast-casting magic to deal with the goblins who were about to chase after him.

The power grid stretched extremely fast, and sure enough, several goblins were hit, and they lay on the ground with a strange scream and convulsed, but there were still a few goblins that were far away to dodge.

In just a few minutes, there were less than ten goblins left that could still move, and Zero didn't dare to stay any longer, so he turned around and chased along the river bank in the direction Kunu and the others left.

Suddenly, one goblin turned around and shouted at the other. The goblin immediately picked up the gray horn that hung around his waist, put it in his mouth, raised his head and blew it.

"Woo-woo-"

The dull, long sound of the horn echoed through the forest.

"Oh no!" Kunu's face changed dramatically.

"What's going on?" asked Zero, who caught up.

"This is the goblin's rallying horn, the goblins who hear the horn will immediately converge to the sound, we must run back to the matrix quickly, or we will never have a chance to go back!" Kunu shouted, his feet speeding up.

When everyone heard this, they all quickened their pace, and in a blink of an eye they saw the waterside that could be crossed by the river.

"Hurry up and cross the river!" Kunu shouted, and rushed to the river first.

Suddenly, Tammon, who was running at the end of the line, fell to the ground, and he raised his mud-stained face and shouted to the running crowd.

Zero slowed down when he heard the shouting, and Kunu slowed down as well, he frowned and grabbed Zero's arm and said, "Leave him alone! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in such danger, and he couldn't run because he was incompetent!"

Zero looked at the dark shadows in the forest not far away, he turned to Kunu and said, "You go first! The goblins are coming after them, and someone must hold them back!"

"What stupid are you talking about!" Kunu shouted as he grabbed Zero's arm, "As long as we don't stop, we'll be able to get in!

"People are also raised by their parents, so you can't watch him die!" Zero broke free of Kunu's palm and pushed him on the back, "Hurry up! I'm going to drag those goblins!"

Kunu gritted his teeth, looked at Zero's back, turned his head and closed his eyes, and ran forward frantically with his legs open.

Zero mobilized his telekinesis to gather in front of his palm, he condensed the magic element as he ran, and when he ran to Tanmeng's side, he waved his arm, and a huge wind blade was thrown out of front of him.

Zero bent down to pull Tammon up from the ground, he shouted "Run", and then stepped forward and ran with Tammon. Zero looked back at the wind blade that was galloping forward, and the agile goblins almost dodged it, but the thinner trunks that had been cut off by the wind blade caused some trouble for the goblins when they fell.

When the two of them waded through the leg-deep river, Kunu and the others had already run away, and the goblins behind them were still chasing after them, and Zero looked at the hundreds of goblins on the other side of the river, and shouted to Tanmon "Run".

The other party ran away without looking back, raised his eyebrows, and underestimated in his heart: "No wonder you are not popular, you are really a cold teenager......"

Zero turned around to face the goblins that were about to rush on the opposite bank, he closed his eyes, and the entire mental field opened, manipulating his telekinesis to dip into the river in front of him.

"Get up!" Zero opened his eyes suddenly, and a wall of water ten meters high and more than thirty meters long suddenly rose from the river, and Zero threw out the thunder magic that had been prepared in his hand, and the ten-meter-high water wall was suddenly filled with electricity, and Zero controlled the thunder element to flow in the water wall, and the tiny electric snake flashed on the water wall, and there was a slight white smoke rising. Although the lightning magic is a powerful level 12 magic, the majestic water element will attenuate the original power of the lightning magic, and Zero just wants to power this wall of water to slow down the pace of the goblin group chasing.

The goblin who waded across the river immediately hit the trick, and the moment he touched the water wall, he was so electric that he convulsed and fainted in the river, but this move did not make too many goblins suffer, and the goblins in the rear saw that they would faint when they touched the water wall, and immediately bypassed the water wall and wanted to swim across the river from both sides.

"It's not that easy!" Seeing this, Zero immediately opened his arms and manipulated the mental power left in the water to start stirring the river.

When he first started learning magic with Josevi five years ago, he practiced using water, and for the past five years, he has repeatedly practiced using his mind to control the flow of water every day in order to make himself more comfortable with his telekinesis. In the presence of water, his control over water is definitely not inferior to that of any water mage of the same level.

"We may not be as good as the elemental mages in gathering the elements out of thin air to cast magic, but we are going to surpass all the elemental mages in the control of the existing elements. ”

These were the exact words Josevi had said to Zero, and he had always kept them in his heart. For five years, Zero has been training himself at Josévie's behest. These nurturing magicians are indeed slow and difficult to cast elemental magic, but for the existing elements at the moment, he must be able to accurately control more than any mage of the same level.

Two extremely fast whirlpools suddenly appeared on both sides of the water wall, and all the goblins who intended to swim around the water wall were swept to the bottom of the river by the turbulent whirlpool. The strange screams of the goblins echoed through the mountains and forests, and Zero spread his arms and stood in place staring at the scene in front of him without changing his face.
