45. The Knight of the Red Thorn

Xia Zuo and Grayveld stepped down, and the light and shadow shining behind them swayed and swayed.

"Mr. Village Chiefโ€”โ€”! At the same time came the cry of Ora, son of the dwarven Holf, "Are you there?" ... And Xia Zuo? โ€

The village chief, who was guarded by Xia Zuo and took half a step back, looked back and found that it was Ola who was holding an oil lamp in his left hand and an axe in his right hand and rushing down the slope.

At this moment, in the village, there is a constant sound of houses and pots and pans being knocked down.

Xia's left eyeball looked left and right, trying to keep up with the black shadow, with a serious expression, clenching the one-handed sword.

"I can't see anything," he muttered.

In the dark of night, there are street lamps like modern cities, and in the past, computer games were played, and at night every house could light up the house by candlelight, bringing a little shadow to the street. The novice village was supposed to be very well taken care of by the program at the time, and the probability of random events happening was extremely low.

The sound of continuous collisions in the village gave Xia Zuo the feeling that a drunk driver was riding a car on a rampage.

"Ora, why are you here?"

Aura came to the village chief, showing a worried look, but after seeing Xia Zuo, his eyes changed a little, and he was still haunted by what happened before, if it weren't for Xia Zuo, his father would not have gone to the forest and was attacked by a goblin wearing armor and armor.

"The people of the village have already arrived at the location of the mine, and they have temporarily set up improvised tents there with tools from my father's blacksmith's shop."

"Yes, that's great~" The village chief put his hand on his chest and exhaled a long breath.

Ola also noticed that there was a constant sound of inexplicable crashing in the village. The village chief looks bad at the moment, could it be that he is injured... Ola then took a decisive step forward and stood side by side with Xia Zuo.

Although he has prejudices against Xia Zuo, he has the same hatred for the time being.

"What's that?" He asked slowly, the black shadow in the village did not approach, almost knocking down every room before stopping, and Ola did not wait for Xia Zuo's response.

"Hmm..."Xia Zuo made a nasal voice of concern, but he frowned, and he didn't see it clearly, and complained casually: "I'm really not used to it, I remember to have an HDR patch?" โ€

At the mention of HDR, Xia Zuo's eyes suddenly widened, as if he remembered something, there was something in the menu bar interface - screen settings.

He went from a serious expression to a frown, opened the main menu in the upper right corner, and found the brightness โ†’ the screen settingsโ†’ a drag bar with a value of 50.

It's the same as dragging things in the backpack bar, as long as you close your left eye and move your gaze, Xia Zuo operated.

It was always daytime, and I could see everywhere clearly, so I didn't pay much attention to these options...

Sure enough, after Xia Zuo raised the value of 50, the scenery around him that could not be seen without oil lamps and firefly lamps became brighter little by little.

"Hey, are you listening to me!?" Ora roared.

"Ahh Turning his head, Xia Zuo saw the oil lamp in Ola's hand, which was like a flashbang to him, and Xia Zuo had to cover his eyes with his arms.

"Huh?" Confused by his actions, Ora was too embarrassed to talk to him again, focusing on the mysterious creatures that were rampaging through the village.

"This is also the reason why I arranged for everyone to evacuate from the village to the direction of the back mountain," the village chief in the rear was unwilling, "My vine wall can only resist some land creatures, and it has no effect on enemies who can fly magic or fly on the wall, if we still stay in the village, we will be caught off guard by attack, and we can still see the situation and find more options depending on the situation." โ€

After waiting for a long time, since the other party had not attacked for the time being, Ora stepped back, intending to lead the village chief to leave together. And it seemed to him that Xia Zuo was still standing in place, frowning at a darkness that was impossible to see, and observed carefully.

"Your Excellency Xia Zuo... Are you careful? The village chief's words didn't seem to reach Xia Zuo's ears, who was engrossed.

"I see it!" Xia Zuo suddenly said, "That's a green-skinned guy... There are still a few pieces of armor on his body, could it be the one that the old village chief said, a two-meter-tall goblin knight!? โ€

The motion blur above the target's head also shows the words Goblin Knight, Lv27 and so on, but the difference in appearance is too big, and Xia Zuo didn't believe it for a while.

The goblin race generally does not display their names on the top of their heads, and in the original setting, the name is the name that is most recognized by themselves and others, and the goblins are mostly nameless, or the goblins with higher ranks, will often change their names with the achievements given by the king, which is difficult to constantly.

Ola had already escorted the village chief to retreat a few meters away, and the village chief seemed to be relieved to hand over the scene to Xia Zuo, who recognized Ola's strength, and he didn't say much.

"Impossible...!" The village chief immediately denied, "That guy has been killed by my birch branch, which will take root and sprout in its body, absorb its nutrients, and eventually break out of its body." โ€

"Most of them were disposed of by the mysterious wizard behind him, right? Do you see what he looks like now, like the knife-wielding goblin you described? Xia Zuo interrupted the unbelievable village chief.

For the village chief, if the Goblin Knight is still alive, wouldn't he get nothing in return?

"No, it won't... What do you mean? No matter how wide the village chief's eyes were, all he could hear was a loud crash, and it seemed to get closer.

"yes, I almost forgot, I was the only one who was turned up." Xia Zuo was ready to attack, as the Goblin Knight had destroyed all the houses he could reach, "Stand back, it's coming!" โ€

The Goblin Knight, whose teeth were sharper and longer than before, moved his nostrils to confirm his direction.

At this moment, he has completely lost his mind, lost all the memories of his life, and at the moment of drinking the blood of the Goblin King, he was ordered by the shaman to kill all the Terrans, and the basis for judging whether the target is a Terran is the smell.

The villagers moved out of their homes, but the houses were still filled with their aura, and the frenzied knight only had to attack the houses once, without getting any reaction, to determine that the target was dead.

The remaining close targets that didn't attack were Xia Zuo and the two people behind him.

The Goblin Knight galloped in, blood-red claws smashing the ground and the small cobblestone slabs as they ran, and rose from the ground.

Aura felt the tremors of the earth, and he couldn't just rely on the thin Xia Zuo to resist it, and the village chief also needed to protect himself.

He handed the oil lamp to the village chief, and rushed to Natsuzo with his axe in both hands, intending to block it with his dwarven thick body and the hard giant axe.

"Huh?" Xia Zuo was obviously staring at the "beast" that was attacking in the distance, and was ready to fight back, but Ola actually stepped forward.

"Where is it!? Where is it!? Ora said nervously, without the oil lamp in his hand, he rolled his eyes from side to side, and it was difficult to spot the same green figure of the Goblin Knight in the background color of the weeds approaching his distance.

Because Xia Zuo turned up the brightness, the outside world was almost as dark to him as it was in the evening, and it was enough to see the goblin knights rushing over, with blood-red mysterious spikes growing at the ends of his limbs, elbows, knees, and foreheads, and he was no longer the knight in Xia Zuo's impression.

It wasn't Nazza's familiar magic, and it didn't seem good.

"Get out of the way! Ola! Xia Zuo shouted, but it was too late, the Goblin Knight rushed forward too fast, and Xia Zuo, who went to stop Ora, couldn't help but freeze.

I don't know if it was an instinctive reaction, but Ola blocked his axe in front of his chest a moment before he was struck, but it was also pierced by the spikes in the Goblin Knight's forehead.

The side of the axe was as fragile as paper, and the spikes that pierced through the axe pierced Ora's shoulder almost simultaneously, lifting him up entirely, like a matador in the bullring who had been overturned by a wild mad bull, his strong body was incomparably weaker than the stronger knight's lunge.
