Chapter 63: Goblins in the Cave
Sarah and I left the village as fast as we could, without arousing the suspicion of the guards, towards the dog hole that Sarah had dug beforehand.
Unlike in front of the village, where there are wide wheat fields, behind the village is a deep forest.
Walking on the soft turf, after nearly two hours, a large forest on the left and right sides finally disappeared.
What appeared in front of me was a whole row of connected gray-white rocks, and the grass beneath my feet turned to sand at some point.
"We're here."
I looked in the direction Sarah was pointing, and there was a cavern in front of me that was quite tall and wide.
It was dark in the depths of the cavern, and from time to time a bitter cold wind blew from inside.
"It's so dark inside, what should I do?"
Sarah was carrying a backpack, and I had asked her what it was in it when I set off, but she wouldn't tell me, and now she has finally opened the mysterious backpack.
Sarah took a short sword from her backpack and handed it to me, it looked like it was a few years old, the blade was rusty, but it could still be used.
"Why are you giving me this?"
"Didn't I say last night, there is a possibility that you will run into monsters."
"Shouldn't you run away when you run into a monster? Do you want me to destroy it?! ”
"Whether you can eliminate it or not depends on your ability, and giving you the short sword is to let you protect me when I collect it."
“............”
At Sarah's strong urging, I raised my dagger and began to follow her to the mouth of the cave with a cower.
"[Light Element Refining, Illumination]"
In the dark cavern, blue-white points of light began to gather, and then a sphere floated next to Sarah.
The sphere was bright enough to illuminate several meters ahead, and Sarah quickly walked towards the cavern.
"This is magic? Can you do magic? ”
A smug smile flashed across Sarah's lips as she replied.
"This is alchemy, refining the natural elements of space, and you can do all kinds of things. As for magic, that's the name of alchemy on the monster's side. ”
"I see, can you teach me this?"
Sarah replied in a somewhat uncertain tone.
"The most basic requirement for learning alchemy is that the level of magic must reach C, and then it is necessary to practice repeatedly to improve proficiency. What is your mana level? ”
Because I didn't want to reveal my ability level, I had to lie to her and say that my magic happened to be C.
Soon after, a hemispherical space appeared in front of it, about 50 meters in diameter.
The next moment, I pulled Sarah and hid behind a boulder next to me.
Not far from where we had just stood, two piles of firewood were crackling.
Around the two piles of firewood, there were about thirty gray-green creatures sitting, looking like human shapes, but somewhat short, about the size of a ten-year-old child.
They have hunched bodies and rather thick arms with sharp claws, and are dressed in shiny leather armor.
Around his waist were bones and pouches, as well as a rough but powerful iron sword.
These monsters are all too familiar to themselves, and at least eight of the ten RPGs they play will have their shining appearances.
"There's a goblin everywhere."
Although monsters like goblins are usually monsters that novice players practice and earn experience points, most of the ability points are set to be quite low.
But this situation is in the game world, and the world I'm currently in is still a mystery, and the ghost knows if the goblins here will be ridiculously strong.
"Ahh That's it! ”
Looking in the direction Sarah was pointing, a giant goblin that looked like a commander held a flower full of life in his hand.
"Is this the flower of the other side?"
The flower in the hands of the giant goblin was like a dragon's claw, and the color was blood red, the same as the flowers I had seen on the other side.
"This flower will only come once in a hundred years, and it must be snatched from it."
"Grab it, you're not kidding, are you? The other party is a monster, and there are about thirty of them! ”
"But! But! Sister Chloe is dying........"
Sarah let out a baby-like howl, instantly revealing our presence, drawing the goblins not far away.
"Hey, hey, why are there humans here?"
The hemispherical space was immediately filled with chirping sounds. The goblins picked up their broadswords and looked at us with hungry eyes.
"Boss, what should I do?"
The giant goblin bared its yellow stray teeth and said in a hoarse voice.
"As it always sees, the men slaughter it and make it into pieces, and the women take it back to pass it on to the next generation."
They want to kill themselves, what will happen if they die in this world? Is this really a game world?
Now I am in a state of partial memory loss and confusion, and many dangers cannot be forced.
As the goblins got closer, I wondered what had happened to the yellow monkey nun.
"Sarah! Do you attack the alchemy? ”
I looked ahead, then spoke quickly to Sarah.
"I'll be a little ........"
Hearing Sarah's answer, I said with a smile.
"That's good, when the fight starts, you run to the exit, protect yourself and go back to the village to call for help."
"You're going to deal with them alone?"
"At least one person is alive, or else they will all die!"
"But!"
"My life depends on your time back and forth, if I count to three, you will run, don't pit me!"
After getting Sarah's affirmation, I counted to three, and a man and a woman ran in different directions.
The nearest goblins in front of me were startled when they saw me rushing towards them.
Sinking down and clenching my dagger, I swung my sword forward and slashed straight across the plane, blood splattering onto my face and a fishy smell coming over my face.
Touching the blood on the face, slimy and warm, is not a special effect of the game.
"It seems that my fear is correct, if I die here, I may really die."
I didn't stop at all, but rushed towards Goble at a faster speed, as if my body was used to fighting.
His brain emptied, followed his body, and swung his dagger.
I sprinted at the giant goblins, and the goblins around me slashed at me with their broadswords.
At this moment, the goblins in my field of vision seemed very sluggish, and my body took a step ahead of my brain, reflexively killing the goblins that were close to me one by one.
"[Night Five Styles, Thirty-six Flowers on the Other Side]"
Thirty-six goblins' bodies, there were stab wounds in different positions, this was a gamble, I don't know if the goblins' acupuncture points are the same as humans'.
Obviously, I won the bet, and the goblins rolled their eyes and fell one by one, leaving only the giant goblin alone.
"Human! I'm going to chop you into minced meat! ”
He pulled out a huge knife from his waist and swung it directly at me. Bending down to dodge the attack, I grabbed the hilt of my sword with my backhand and leaped forward, slashing to the left towards its throat.
Turning in the air, he stepped on the ground, steadied his footsteps, and stabbed the short sword into his entire empty flank.
The giant goblin ignored my attacks and instead countered me from above with a sword.
The dagger stuck into its body and couldn't pull it out, so I had to let go of the hilt to dodge its counterattack.
The heavy tip of the knife pierced the ground entirely, and the surrounding area instantly shattered, although this force was powerful, it was not impossible to resist.
Before the giant goblin could recover from its stiff state, I picked up the broadsword in the hand of the goblin corpse lying on the ground.
I'm good at fists, but obviously my body can't compete with weapons. And his own fists can't hurt this goblin much.
"[Night One Style: Stab]"
I clenched the broadsword in my hand and jumped hard, aiming it at the throat of the giant goblin.
"Quack!"
The giant goblin erupted into a fiery roar, black blood pouring from the wound in his throat, and then swung his right broadsword with a violent momentum.
At this point, I let go of the hilt, stood on the ground, and took out a second broadsword hidden behind my back to block his attack.
His hand was numb by the attack just now, and the broadsword fell to the ground as a result.
