In the maple forest at the southern foot of Hawke's Mountain, the air is a little humid, and the sunlight only casts a few miserly light spots in the forest. The black crown fungus grows luxuriantly on the withered maple trunk, and the vigorous growth of the crown fungus does not seem to be disturbed by the harsh winter.

The place where Teucer had spent the night was found by three hurried wood elves, and the charcoal ash that had burned out of the campfire had congealed into clumps and collected the moisture in the air.

"Well, the secret passage provided by Mr. Teucer is safe." The wood elf with the bowed body was none other than Liberas Morn, the son of the sharp blade with long straight black hair and blue eyes, and he twisted a piece of condensed charcoal ash and sniffed it on the bridge of his nose, "Lord Glenn, could you please look through the rubbings of the map that the baron gave us, and make sure that we are close to the tributary of the great river Lindisfak to Mount Hawke?" ”

"That's right, we're about 10 miles away from this tributary." Glenn pulled out a charcoal-drawn map rubbish from his personal wrap and nodded affirmatively.

"Ah, I think I can already hear the sound of rushing water." Niang brought the pointed ears of the wood elves close to the ground, and looked up at Liberas who was looking for traces and Glenn who was looking at the map rubbing.

"Maybe all you're hearing is the undercurrent of this Hawk Mountain. This tributary was cut off at Hawke Hill, and it must have led underground. Glenn carefully folded the rubbings and put him away. His gaze fell on Liberas, and he looked around at the maple grove around him, "The atmosphere of this forest feels a little oppressive to me, but the map rubble shows that we still have to keep going west." ”

"No, I suppose we should now be at the foot of the mountain, so that the secret passage that Mr. Teucer has dug can be easily found, and this Mount Hawk is the only sign of direction we can discern. Although the map rubbings say that we should go all the way west, it may take us a long longer to get there if we venture deeper into the dense maple forest - time waits for no one! As the wood elves of Shefir, you must have heard the proverb that there is chaos in the woods, east and west, north and south. Liberas shook his long, straight black hair and stood up motioning for Glenn and Niang to follow his brisk pace.

At the end of the maple grove, the water of the tributaries of the great Lindisfak River was still flowing, though there was no way out of the turbulent river. The maple grove beneath Mount Hawke also came to an abrupt end beside the tributary, and the position where the three Wood Elves stood was like a rock barrier that suddenly rose from the ground next to the tributary, and as the mountain rose sharply, his summit cloud peak reached into the clouds in the sky. On the opposite side of the great tributary of the fast-flowing Lindisfak River, the mountains are emerald and mountainous, and the snow faintly visible on their sharp peaks is like a white veil draped over the head of a maiden.

Liberas Morn led Glenn and Niang along the weedy cliffside path to the waterfall that cascaded down the mountainside, and following the trail of Teucer's escape, the three of them found the stone bed where the skeleton was lying, and the 'one-man rat path' dug from the side of the bed carefully infiltrated the storage hole of the Goblin Lair in Hawk Mountain.

A strong musty smell rushed in, and the light suddenly dimmed rapidly, and this place was completely a world occupied by darkness. Liberas frowned, and Glenn and Niang immediately covered their mouths and noses, and after they had used to it for a long time, the situation of the Goblin Storage Cave gradually became clear, the mountain of looting, tattered barrels, and moldy clothes decorated the storage hole into a garbage heap, and the light of the jumping torches at the entrance of the cave was only faintly visible, and the faint light was almost impossible to perceive without a pair of sharp eyes.

Liberas, Glenn, and Niang kept their steps as low as they could, carefully navigating the vast junkyard, mixing in the sound of rats in the storage cavern as best they could.

"I didn't expect the mountain people of Colin Maharaja to live in such a place." Glenn grumbled softly, "The smell here seems to be stronger than the smell of the walking corpses we've encountered. ”

"Don't let the druids hear you. would be considered a Forrester blasphemer. Goblins don't have anything to do with us. Niang squeezed Glenn's hand in the dark shadows and whispered.

Glenn shook off Niang's hand and said no more, but followed Liberas closely, pressing his hand on the hilt of the knife for a moment.

They crept to the hole, and at the behest of Liberas' eyes, Glenn and Niang quickly flipped to the opposite side of Liberas. They reached the entrance to the cave from the left and right sides of the cavern, and the light from the torches cast the two goblin guards outside the storage hole.

The gray-skinned goblin guards didn't notice anything unusual in the storage cavern, and their clumsy bodies allowed them to easily cluble the serrated scimitars, leaning against the cave wall outside the cave entrance, lazily dozing, and the sound of snoring and dozing showed that they were not so easily awakened by the slight footsteps for a while.

"Huh!" It was the sound of the scimitars unsheathed, and Liberas strode out of the cavern with Glenn and Nyon behind him, and they slashed at the necks of the two dozing goblins, without any extra movement.

The two gray-skinned ugly guys immediately opened their eyes, but the flash of the knife in front of them made them both sleep forever in a scene that made them extremely frightened. With a 'poof' sound in the neck, the gushing black blood was thrown on the cave wall of the bare mountain rock, drawing a parabola of black blood.

Liberas, along with Glenn and Nyon, stepped forward quickly, grabbed the collapsed bodies of the two goblins, dragged them into the dark storage cavern, and quietly hid their corpses with wooden barrels, leaving only the squeaks of rats in the storage cavern.

Inside the tunnels of the Goblin Lair in Hawk Mountain, there are cholered gravel paths under your feet, and the inner corners of the wooden chests stacked here and there are cobwebs, and not only that, but the rotten pieces of flesh that occasionally lay on the wooden chests are already wriggling with a swarm of white-flowered maggots, as if these extra pieces of meat have been abandoned in these corners by the goblins of Hawk Mountain. The gravel path is full of hateful insects that only grow in dark corners, and if you are not careful, you will easily trample to death a few Xiaoqiang crawling around in the tunnel. Despite the scattered torches hanging from the walls of the cave, it seemed to have become a paradise for light-loving insects in the cavern, casting its flickering light into a limited area around it, and the light looked worse than in the shadows where you couldn't reach your fingers—the dancing light that shone like a wagging mottled ghost on the walls and gravel paths.

"Lord Liberas, we have now infiltrated the goblin lair of Mount Hawke, but the tunnels here are leading in all directions, how can we accomplish our mission? We don't know where these tunnels lead. Only Forrester knows where the goblin leader will appear! Glenn watched warily in the shadows as the tunnel went in the back and forth.

"You're pretty skilled with your scimitar, Mr. Glenn, but you're still too little experienced. If you've delved into a few goblin lairs, you won't think so. Liberas smiled indifferently, "The terrain here has completely come to my mind, and I think I have a good idea of what the Goblin Lair looks like in Hawk Mountain. ”

"Oh? What does this say? I'm curious. None of us have ever been to this ghost place except our Wood Elf friend, Tork Hovent. Glenn's whispered communication was full of caution, as he always did, "I wish I had been in these musty places a little less." ”

"Goblins are not very good at defending the storage room in the deepest part of the lair, we entered from the west side of this lair, and now His Excellency the Baron and the deputy of Team Legral should have arrived in the eastern part of the Hocker, indicating that the eastern part of the Hockland mountain is the entrance to the goblin's lair. The structure here should be similar to the Red Water Lair in Tuang that I have penetrated deeply. The tunnel we're walking on now is two tunnel paths that lead from different directions to the 'den of thieves', and trust me, we'll be meeting the goblin head soon. Liberas said this sudden silence, and the hurried footsteps of goblins could be faintly heard in the tunnel.

"It's a goblin, it looks like it's coming this way." Niang looked a little panicked, the tunnel was almost impossible to hide except for the shadows outside the range of the torch.

"Don't be silent, do you want to alarm more goblins to come and comfort us?" Glenn glared at Nyon, though he didn't know if he could see it in the shadows.

"Don't speak. Be quiet. It's three heavily armed goblins. The pair of pointed ears that stood up under Liberas' long black hair twitched slightly, and he took Glenn and Niang to hide beside the cave wall by the darkness beyond the firelight, and the three of them straightened up, pressed their bodies against the cave wall as much as possible, stood on their tiptoes, and held their breath.

These were three heavily armed goblins, babbling goblin black words from their crooked mouths, and they were speaking extremely fast, and it seemed that something serious had happened outside the goblin lair. Glenn and Niang were in a fog, and only Liberas listened intently as they spoke to each other at great speed, and they blew swiftly through the light in front of the three of them like a foul-smelling wind.

Liberas suddenly untied the bow of Amunlet on his back from the shadows, aimed at the back of the goblin and twisted the bow and set the arrow, and immediately pulled the bow and shot it twice in succession, only to hear the dull bowstring sound that suddenly came to mind, and the two goblins who were running in the tunnel in front of Liberas were hit by arrows in the back of their heads, and they were killed in an instant, until the goblin who was running at the forefront heard the unusual movement behind him, turned around sharply, and a sharp cold light had already chased after him, and it didn't even have time to scream, and it was slashed to the ground by Liberas with a very fast swing of the knife.

"Your Excellency Liberas draws his bow and draws his sword so quickly!" Niang marveled at Liberas' clean archery and knife skills, and sighed with envy, "As fast as lightning like Sharp Blade himself." ”

"Compared to my father, I'm still far behind. A real blade is so that none of you can see the blade he swings. Liberas shook off his long messy black hair, and quickly walked out of the shadows, he responded to Niang's envy, and reached out to pat Glenn on the back, "Mr. Glenn, you are too cautious, we have to move faster now, our frontal troops have arrived outside the goblin lair, these three guys are going to find the two goblin guards we killed just now, I think the goblin's 'den of thieves' is not far from here." ”

Under the cover of the shadows and following the footsteps of the goblins, the three secret infiltrators finally arrived at what Liberas called the goblin 'den of thieves', the gathering place of the goblin lair in Hawk Mountain. They lay on the edge of the tunnel leading to the storage cavern and poked their heads out into the thieves' den, the scene in front of them that made Glenn and Niang secretly frightened.
