Chapter 6: Goblin Lair?
To fight the goblins, we have to prepare our weapons. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
To fight goblins, we have to practice our skills.
Fight the goblins, and we're going to aim at their heads.
Fight the goblins, we're going to...
Find them first!
The goblin thing, like a groundhog, shrank when you hit it hard.
Of course, these are all what Ling Qi looks at from the book.
As it stands, the lair of unknown creatures that winds through the tunnel under his feet is home to creatures that appear to be goblins, and they are only similar in height to goblins.
Whether they will be as timid as rats, whether they will rush up and collapse in an instant, God knows.
Passing through a small hall seven or eight meters square, followed by a zigzag tunnel.
You can't expect the goblins to build their lair very well, even if it's a natural cavern that needs only minor improvements.
Along the way, you can see a lot of shoddy clay pots, and even some rotten wooden barrels, which contain the monsters' necessary "daily necessities" - some rudimentary tools, rags, white lumps of unknown purpose, and a small amount of carrion of unknown origin...
Sure that there were scavengers here, Ling Qi wasn't too surprised, maybe he didn't even feel nervous.
Combat does make people grow quickly, even if it's just a poor mouse.
He slowed down, hunched over, and stalked like a thief... Well, as he knew, most of the games where thieves sneak around.
As for whether it was useful or not, it is unclear, at least the mysterious voice did not admit that he had "comprehended" some kind of stealth skill.
The goblin lair, of course, will not have much suitable for human use, and there will be no gains along the way, unexpectedly, but fortunately, the necessary food and water crisis has not yet arrived.
There were scattered torches in the passages, either on the ground or diagonally on the inside of the walls, and although the light was dim, it was enough for Ling Qi, who did not suffer from overnight blindness.
The twists and turns of the road still made him a little lucky, he was more worried about the pursuers behind him than the goblins he hadn't met yet, it was a force he couldn't resist at all.
Walking gently, he came to the end of another fork in the road, and Ling Qi was about to turn the corner.
"Uh~"
"uh~~~~"
"Roar~~~"
An unintelligible low roar suddenly came, Ling Qi's eyes widened violently, and his pupils contracted slightly!
The air was moving, and the faint rancid stench had never gone away, both on the body and on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, he could smell another, thicker stench coming slowly but firmly!
The grace of the wind plays a role, although it is difficult to tell him what the enemy is, but it also makes his original handan toddler's stealth behavior charming!
He didn't notice that as his heart beat faster and his mental power was highly concentrated, the ruby pendant hanging on his chest was shining slightly, and the gentle wind around him was gently correcting his every move!
On the attribute panel that he didn't pay attention to, in the basic skill bar, the words "basic stealth" loomed and blurred.
Without distractions, Ling Qi, who encountered a big monster, was both nervous and excited.
The baptism of the giant rat's stained blood was still very beneficial, at least now he was able to ignore the stench for a short time.
Maybe it's the accelerated heartbeat that attracts the attention of an unknown existence, or maybe the other party has already locked on him, and his stop is actually stimulating the opponent!
"Roar!!"
There was another low roar, approaching quickly, and when the stench was tangy, Ling Qi pulled back violently, and the sword was already in front!
With the change from extremely close to extremely moving, Ling Qi, who was like a rabbit, finally saw clearly, and a humanoid creature suddenly swooped out from the dark corner in front of him, a rotting corpse!
"Zombie ???!"
Ling Qi didn't dare to let the corpse approach, and there was such a consensus in many science fiction conjectures that zombies were creatures full of poison, and it was inevitable that they would be infected when they fought in protective clothing, not to mention that he was almost shirtless.
Even if this is not a zombie, just looking at the degree of decay, I am afraid that it has brought some plague viruses with it, this is not a disease that is probabilitably carried by living creatures, and Ling Qi does not think that his physique, which is still below the average level of normal men, can be immune to epidemics!
Circling around zombies, looking for an opportunity to do something.
Although his strength did not increase, although his agility did not increase, the grace of the wind made his movements more fluid, which was dexterity regardless of attributes.
It's like putting on the latest exoskeleton combat armor, just as the zombie pounced forward, Ling Qi jumped in the air and floated diagonally for two or three meters.
In a flash, not only did it avoid the corpse's attack, but it also let it go to its side, and progress could attack!
He never received any formal combat training, and these movements were done subconsciously. He only thought that it was the grace of the wind, but how could he think that the wind could be conscious?
I don't know if the wind distorted the image, or if the concentrated consciousness temporarily improved my vision.
A few meters away, the corpse that was temporarily stiffened by the air seemed to be close at hand.
The hideousness, the disgusting, even the maggots hanging on its face, the rotting throat with white bones, seemed to be within reach!
This kind of feeling, at such a time, normal people are afraid to vomit.
Ling Qi also wanted to vomit, but he felt a little excited, and his blood was boiling! It was the residual desire to fight after the initial baptism! The excitement of killing!
"Dead !!"
What sanity, what fear of getting the plague, what disgusting, all throw aside!
Without thinking about it, a trace of tyranny flashed in Ling Qi's eyes, and the long-suppressed killing intent suddenly emerged, just like his rabbit-like action!
At least twice as fast as when he first approached Grant, and at least ten times more graceful than his awkward posture.
The zombie in the state of inertia stun couldn't even turn his head, and was directly bullied by him, and a sword pierced his neck!
This is not all, I don't know if it is the guidance of the wind, or a few fragments left in the brain, Ling Qi is like a female captain with a light sword dance, relying on the power brought by the rushing body to drive the blade, spin the sword body, and easily cut off the zombie's entire head!
Channeling, stabbing, spinning, retreating!
Coherent!
Poof!
The zombie's head fell to the ground, his body fell, and Ling Qi, who was a few steps away, also stumbled, almost failing to stand firm!
"Whew!
Panting heavily, Ling Qi's originally pale face became even paler, and a trace of green tendons protruded on his forehead.
Tiredness, nausea, as if there was excessive blood loss, and the rich rancid stench in the air deepened these negative states.
Vomit!
Ling Qi finally couldn't help but retching again, and only then did he feel more comfortable, but then he noticed that the air was filled with a foul smell that was a hundred times richer than the dung pit!
Ling Qi frowned, he could clearly tell that Fang Cai's negative state was not only due to the unbearable smell around him, but also the instinctive weakness of his body!
Reluctantly standing up, he tore a piece of his shirt with all his might, wiping the filth off the dagger.
He was a little worried that it was the poisonous blood he had drunk by mistake that caused him to be contaminated with some kind of disease, and he opened the attribute panel, but he didn't get a hint.
He didn't notice that just now, when his killing intent was blazing, the pendant hanging on his chest suddenly turned scarlet, as if it was infected with blood!
It's a pity that when he cleaned up his mood and looked down at the magic talisman, the glimmer of light circulating on the large red gem had long since disappeared silently!
It was deep red, bright red, as if it had been satisfied in some way.
Looking at the disgusting headless corpse lying on the ground in front of him, Ling Qi walked around with messy steps and left quickly!
Fortunately, in this kind of undead place, there should be no goblins nearby.
Only, is this really a goblin lair?
Ling Qi was a little suspicious, calmed down, and gradually quickened his pace.
There are a lot of tunnels in the cave, and from time to time there are some slightly larger spaces, and there are always traces of creatures in them, but after walking for half an hour, he didn't even encounter a single mouse.
In a certain "storage room", Ling Qi found a set of shabby fur armor and even a pair of fast-wearing leather boots, and finally changed out the dirty prison clothes on his body.
Although the elegance of the wind has played a role in the constant temperature of the body, the fur armor is more reliable than the prison uniform, and it can be regarded as adding some defense and a sense of security.
What's even more gratifying is that he found a few apples that had begun to dehydrate on a low wooden table in a place that was supposed to be a "restaurant"!
These things that should have been thrown into the trash can were immediately laughed at by him.
The feeling of hunger and thirst urged him to eat the apples quickly, but the rancid smell at the corners of his mouth made him really have no appetite.
And intellectually speaking, I don't know when the next time I find food, and now my body is far from reaching its limit, so there is no need to waste it.
In the end, he still found a fairly clean rag, made a simple bag at zero hour, and tied the food behind him.
After doing all this, Ling Qi couldn't help but shake his head.
To say that the mysterious voice is indeed magical, but it is really stingy, since he is asked to do the task, he should give him some basic equipment, space rings or something.
He, a player in the game world, is really miserable.
Putting aside some unrealistic ideas, Ling Qi moved on.
The apple was a bonus, and if it weren't for the piles of white bones, human bones, perhaps, he would be in a better mood.
It's just that after walking so far, why haven't you encountered goblins?
Is it?
Ling Qi's conjecture didn't last long, and when he came to a particularly spacious cave, another small wooden door appeared in front of his eyes!
Thinking about where he had entered the lair, the stone wall that had collapsed unexpectedly, and the well that had dried up, Ling Qi thought for a moment.
The door was unlocked, and the space behind it was much narrower than before, but fortunately it was two meters high, so as not to meet.
Just walked out a short distance, probably less than a hundred meters, two or three turns.
The noise of chirping came from afar!
Learning the posture of Fang Cai, the cat bends his waist, and his steps are light, which is still not good-looking, but it is much smoother than at the beginning.
Ling Qi quietly approached the source of the sound!
"Hiss~!"
Secretly revealing half of his face, peeking forward against the corner of the wall, Ling Qi broke out in a cold sweat.
One, two, three, four, five, six!
Six goblins, or six suspected goblins, were dancing around a huge bonfire in the center of a two-hundred-square-meter cave square!
No! Not six!
With his eyes fixed on the flames, behind the dancing red elf, there was a looming figure!
It was an old goblin sitting cross-legged in the distance! an old goblin with a wooden staff on his legs!
Ling Qi retracted his head, and a few drops of sweat dripped from his forehead!
Six goblins, be careful, relying on sneak attacks and magic necklaces as a support, it is far from enough to stop Ling Qi.
But that damn old goblin, on its lap, wasn't a crutch at all!
The head of the staff flashed with a blue arc of electricity, as if you could hear a crackling sound in the air, it was a staff!!
Goblin mage?
Who cares!
Perhaps in the past, Ling Qi would have thought that mages were just a combat class, no different from archers.
But now that he is enjoying the buff effect of magic, he does not have such childish thoughts at all, he knows the power of spells very well!
This is not a game, there is no game company to balance the skill gains between the various classes, and the legal profession is born with a huge advantage in battle!
Especially when he remembered that assassin mage, the power of the fireball technique was released, even if the final special burst was not counted, the energy released by the ordinary fireball in an instant would not be worse than that of a grenade!
Seeing the staff that obviously contained lightning power, Ling Qi retreated, it was not the power of his opponent!
Looking back behind him, there was only one passage, but the heart of the drum gradually calmed down.
Where can you retreat?
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, no matter how you choose, you are in danger of winning!
"What's the matter, it's not risky!
Ling Qi gritted his teeth, made a decision, and quietly observed the hall again, skimming the old goblin's gaze flashed with sharpness and greed.
He quietly retreated into the depths of the passage and lurked around a corner.
Just like the zombies he encountered before, what would have happened if he hadn't smelled the smell in advance and bumped into his head?
But this time it's him who is prepared, and he won't make a sound...
