The light is getting dimmer and dimmer.

Sauron gradually entered the dense forest, all around the sound of various animals, there was even a small elk, it watched vigilantly, from time to time lowered its head to graze, when it noticed the shadow of Sauron's position, it immediately ran out vigilantly. Because they have not been destroyed by humans, there are many wild animals in the wilderness, and the dense grassy vegetation greatly increases the number of wild beasts, and sometimes you can catch hares in the fields.

Sauron stopped at a puddle, reached out and picked up a little dark red dirt, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

The smell of blood.

It should be very close to the kobold gathering place.

Kobolds are dwarfed reptilian humanoids with cowardly and brutal tendencies. They have scaly skin that varies in color from dark rust to dark black, which provides them with some protection (+1 for natural armor), their eyes are red, they have not weak night vision, and they have tails that cannot curl up. Kobolds are mostly ragged, they prefer red and orange, they will strip off the clothes of dead people and put them on, and they are about 3 feet tall and weigh about 50 pounds.

Kobolds can speak dragon language, but their voices are still like puppies.

Like lizardmen, they are oviparous and are born in a litter, so they are often encountered in the wilderness.

Don't despise these little things because of their size, ordinary kobolds are also more effective than civilians, although they don't have much strength, but they are more agile, and their agility can reach about 13-15 points. They also have the natural ability to 'miner' and 'trap zuò', and most kobolds will make simple traps, such as stumbling ropes and trap potholes. Because of their natural timidity, kobolds generally do not act alone, often appearing in groups of three or five, and they will attack when they are twice as large as the enemy, and if the number is about the same, the kobold will gather more companions, or simply abandon the attack.

If things don't go right in the middle of a fight, kobolds will quickly run away, much like goblins.

That's right.

They are cannibalistic.

Sauron continued along the footprints as he pulled out the crossbow, the poisoned bolts weren't worth using on these little things, otherwise the loot wouldn't be as good as the props he had used. Just deal with these little things, ordinary crossbow arrows, and there is still a small half bottle of the venom of the bipedal wyvern, and in order to make sure that it is safe, Sauron still carries three of these crossbow arrows with him.

The purpose is to guard against kobold warlocks!

Kobolds are the most susceptible creature to Warlocks, although most Kobolds are not of high class level.

But the frequency of occurrence is a little scary.

They are staunch supporters of the theory of warlock by dragon lineage, as kobolds have a semblance of dragon blood, they use dragon language to communicate, and every now and then a kobold warlock or two pops up.

No amount of caution is too much to deal with powerful spellcasters.

The blood in front of him grew thicker, and Sauron stopped in front of a meadow that had clearly passed, and he took out his scimitar and fiddled with it, and immediately saw a rope. If you accidentally touch it, something may hit it, or you may directly stumble and hang upside down, and there are many people who suffer from these little things. Because at the beginning, many people, including Sauron, ran out to farm monsters in a hurry, but they didn't expect to be almost brushed off by the mobs. (Kobolds are born with a trap skill of +20 points, which is equivalent to the level of a normal hunter to set a trap.) ）

There was a clamor of cooing in front of me, and there was a faint sound of a dog barking.

Sauron touched the weapon and approached little by little, the kobold's sense of smell is okay, stronger than that of humans, but far less than that of wolfdogs, so it is still necessary to pay attention to stealth.

Soon.

A group of kobolds appeared in front of Sauron.

There were about thirty of them, half of them were ordinary kobolds, half of them were kobold warriors with equipment, and there was a dark red kobold with a wooden stick, I don't know if it was a kobold warlock, who was standing next to a cauldron at the moment. The caster of this world can't be judged at once if they're disguised or don't hold iconic gear. For example, a priest fights with a stick, fights for a long time, and waits until he unleashes a magic spell, and you realize that this girl knows how to use magic!

In many cases, judgment depends on one's own observational ability.

The cauldron was held with wooden sticks, and there were kobolds throwing firewood next to it, and the stewed inside was not very clear, but Sauronchai knew that it might be goblins, beasts, mushrooms, weeds, and the like. Kobolds are omnivorous, and they eat grass and meat, and when they don't get their prey, the mushrooms and weeds in the forest can be boiled to fill their stomachs. If food is scarce, they will also make a fight with the nearby goblins, and it is usually impossible to tell the winner, but there is always something to cook in the pot of both sides after the fight.

The savings point is enough for ten days and half a month.

A group of kobolds drooled around the cauldron, and from time to time there was a sound of squealing, and Sauron saw the goblin being cut into pieces, but when he saw the dismembered remains of a human female, his face instantly turned much colder. Kobolds do not dare to attack the village directly, they only dare to sneak in, and sometimes adult males do not dare to attack at will, only dare to hunt children and women.

Kobolds are timid and ferocious.

They will stealthily approach lone women and children outside the village, kill them in a short time, and then drag their bodies back.

More than thirty kobolds are not so easy to deal with!

Sauron hid and counted carefully, judging the danger of this group of kobolds, about ten or so kobold warriors, they were armed with short swords, clubs, and short spears, some of them were wearing leather armor, and the kobolds were also equipped as humanoids. Next to them were five kobold archers, armed with short bows and daggers, all of which they had made themselves, using wood and animal tendons, and although they were not very powerful, they could be painful to shoot at close range.

The other ordinary kobolds have weapons, but most of them are crude wooden sticks, and they don't have much of a problem hitting them.

The only thing that can't be determined.

That is, whether the dark red kobold next to the cauldron is the leader or the warlock.

But without a doubt it is the most threatening one!

"Kobold [large group] (first order)."

"Challenge level 3, creature level 5, boss units and kobold warlocks may appear."

"The highest attribute is 17 points, the lowest attribute is 8 points, and the total attribute value is 60-75 points."

"Special Specialties: Natural Armor, Trap Making, Night Vision."

"Difficulty: C+."

"Loot Level: +1 (Mining, Gathering. ）”

The loot on the kobolds will have a bonus value, because they have a habit of collecting sparkling items, of course, it can't all be kindlers, it may be the gold sand and ore they dig up. In the many materials collected by Sauron at the beginning, many monsters will have a loot bonus according to their own habits, that is, the loot that monsters of the same level will get in the end will be one level higher.

Goblins also like to collect, but unfortunately they often pick up some junk.

A slight rattling sound.

Sauron began to move his steps and circled the campfire from the side, having to take out the dark red kobold before he could make the fight a lot easier. Challenging level 3 means that it takes five or so level 3 professions to be able to solve them relatively easily, and it is not easy for Sauron to act alone now, the point is not to be surrounded by them.

Suck!

A bolt of crossbow shot out.

The dark red kobold beside the campfire let out a terrible scream, and the entire kennel was alarmed.

A sound similar to the barking of a puppy sounded, and after the initial panic, the kobolds began to swarm to pick up weapons to find the enemy, and soon they spotted Sauron with their not weak night vision, and a group of kobold warriors roared and pounced on him. When they find that the number of enemies is far less than their own, the kobold will always become very 'brave'.

Sauron was in no hurry to catch up.

He rolled over to dodge almost immediately after firing an arrow, and his original position was instantly filled with arrows, and the kobold's short bow was not intimidating.

The scimitar slashed through the cold light in his hand!

In just one look, two kobolds were disemboweled, but because of this momentary pause, one kobold pounced directly on his legs, opening his mouth to bite it, they had sharp teeth.

Bang!

Sauron twisted his waist and kicked the kobold five meters away, forcing him to dodge a short sword before kicking another kobold into the air.

Just thirty seconds.

Sauron killed six kobolds, but the thirty or so kobolds gathered also pounced, his leg slashed by the dagger, but fortunately only a little skin was cut. The arrows from the shortbow hit Sauron, but instead of piercing the leather armor, they killed a kobold next to him. Kobold warriors of the rank 1 warrior level surrounded them, and these creatures, who were only about three feet tall, were very troublesome, and each attack stabbed at the crook of Sauron's leg, so much so that he had to bend down to attack.

Kobolds have the ability to roll, and they know how to use their size to dodge and roll.

- Moon Arc Slash.

There was no room to dodge the attacks that came from all directions, and Sauron gritted his teeth and resisted twice with his leather armor, then took the scimitar and twisted his waist in a circle.

The three kobolds fell, all disemboweled.

But at this moment, the dark red kobold, who had been shot by Sauron with a poisoned crossbow arrow, actually staggered to his feet, and his mouth emitted strange syllables, and then he stretched out his palm and pushed forward, and a sixty-degree fan-shaped flame erupted. The first to bear the brunt was Sauron, whose clothes were on fire at once, and then the kobold next to him was directly burned by the fire and screamed!

- "Burning Hand!" ”
