Chapter 19: Digging a Pit

In order to ensure safety, Cheng Kong climbed the tree to observe, although the farmer's tag changed to the tax collector's tag, which no longer provides the magical effect of speed plus two, but Cheng Kong can still climb the tree relatively easily, after all, the tax collector's body is much stronger than the farmer's.

A golden box like a small hill appeared in Cheng Kong's line of sight, and a golden light flashed on the box from time to time, and Cheng Kong's eyes accidentally looked over, and he felt a little uncontrollable.

Cheng Kong didn't have to think much about it at all, he knew that this golden box contained treasures.

But at this time, Cheng Kong didn't have the slightest urge to pass, he was not blind, just around the golden treasure chest, a group of small monsters with more than a hundred heads were surrounding the golden treasure chest.

These little monsters are dark green, with a pair of pointed ears, slender hands and feet, like old men, full of wrinkles, extremely ugly, naked upper body, wrapped in a piece of bark around their waists, and their size is only beyond the empty knees, but each little monster holds a small dagger in his right hand, and his eyes are round and looking around, looking extremely vigilant.

The three little monsters standing closest to the golden treasure chest were slightly stronger than the other little monsters, with pale golden skin on their bodies and jagged teeth on the back of their daggers, which scattered wisps of golden light from time to time under the reflection of the brilliance of the treasure chest.

Although these little monsters seem vulnerable, thanks to the presence of these little monsters, it is impossible to easily approach the treasure chest from any direction.

After coming down from the tree, Cheng Kong told the bearded man about the treasure chest and the little monster.

The bearded man is now worthy of Cheng Kong's encyclopedia of human form, climbed the tree and took a look, he knew the origin of the little monster, and when he got off the tree, the bearded man frowned and explained to Cheng Kong.

The little monster with dark green skin is called a goblin, and it is a zero-level class of the barbarian city, and it is the same level as the bearded farmer.

Of course, although they are of the same level, if it is really a heads-up, one farmer can easily kill two, even if it encounters four or five goblins, the farmer can face off undefeated.

If it were the bearded three farmers who were much stronger, it would not be a problem to join forces to deal with more than twenty goblins.

The little golden monster is a golden goblin, an advanced version of a regular goblin, just like the relationship between a tax collector and a farmer.

The strength of these golden goblins is similar to that of ordinary goblins, slightly stronger, but they have a mouth-watering ability, the aura of luck.

All allies within a 10-meter radius around them will enjoy the magical effect of Lucky Plus One.

In other words, the golden goblin is almost equivalent to a rainbow fountain that can be moved at any time.

This is also where the confidence of the barbarian city when it encounters the enemy.

When charging into battle, with a team of golden goblins, I am afraid that the effect is enough to deter the enemy.

By the same token, this group of goblins has the leader of the three golden goblins, which is enough to deal with five spearmen.

Cheng Kong and the others wanted to get close to the treasure chest, it was almost impossible to happen.

"Master, forget it, it's better for us to leave."

The bearded man plucked up his courage, his face was terrified, and he reminded Cheng Kong, to be honest, he was really afraid that the tax collector would rush over in a daze and fight with those goblins.

Just kidding, more than a hundred goblins plus three golden goblins are enough to quickly turn the four of themselves into corpses, and no accident can happen.

Cheng Kong was not as reckless as the bearded man imagined, and out of the goblin's sight, he circled around the treasure chest, looking around, picking up the grass from time to time, lying on the ground to check, as if looking for something.

After turning around, Cheng Kong raised his eyebrows, there were no traces of other beasts and wild creatures around here, not even some small animals that should have appeared, they should have been killed by those goblins.

It seems that the goblins didn't spare any creatures near the chest.

Due to their size, goblins' footprints are easier to distinguish from other creatures. The farthest point where the goblin footprints appear is more than two kilometers from the chest, where the grass grows to a person's waist, two kilometers is enough to cut off the connection between goblins.

What excites Cheng Kong the most is that at the farthest point, the number of footprints that appear is not much, which means that if they encounter enemies, those goblins will not be all dispatched, but will leave some to guard near the treasure chest.

This treasure chest is mine!

Cheng Kong smiled, and a few bearded farmers began to dig in the grass with dung forks.

That's right, it's digging a pit! Dig a pit!

Digging a pit with a dung fork is not very suitable, but the farmer is originally a good way of plowing the field, and his physical strength is much better than that of the earthling, and this small inconvenience was quickly ignored by Cheng Kong, and he directly changed the expected big pit into a narrow tunnel.

If it's a creature above the spearman, this pit isn't necessarily easy to use, but it's a good thing to use against the goblins, who are short in size and don't seem to have a very high IQ.

What digging traps? Okay, if you want to say that traps can be used against large creatures, but against these very light goblins, forget it, let alone Cheng Kong, even a few farmers don't have the skills to create traps, it can't just dig a pit and cover it with some branches and leaves.

At the very least, you have to make sure that you can run through the trap and not fall down, otherwise, those goblins are not absolutely stupid, and if you run over from the side, I'm afraid the goblins will follow.

It took two days, Cheng Kong and the others were tired and half dead, and only then did they dig a narrow tunnel two meters deep and more than forty meters long.

In order to prevent it, those goblins did not enter the pit when they were pursuing, but rushed over from the side of the pit to intercept it, and Cheng Kong and the others moved some stones and lined them up on both sides of the pit to form a one-person high stone wall, and buried some spikes in front and back of the stone wall to prevent them from over.

If some of the goblins try to bypass the stone wall, by the time they do, all the goblins that have entered the tunnel will have already been destroyed.

If those goblins all take a detour, Cheng Kong may not lose all, and he really can't escape.

After making all the preparations, Cheng Kong still crossed the entire plan in his mind, trying his best to make up for the loopholes that might appear in the plan.

To be honest, Cheng Kong is not the kind of high-IQ intellectual, although he is a little smart, but more than that, he can get by.

If it weren't for this plan, which was related to his life, Cheng Kong would not have worked so hard.
