Chapter 198: Bear Goblin
Chen Yue told Judith about the comet.
Their ecstatic expressions dimmed immediately, and while the content of the information was useful, it did not directly identify who the caster was, and was far from meeting the conditions for the task to be delivered. In addition, their destination was not the crater, but they sent another team from the adventuring group to investigate.
Although Judith would like to go to the crater in person, attending Victoria's enthronement ceremony is more important to her than this mission, there is a chance after the mission is not completed, but the enthronement ceremony is only once, and if you miss it, you will miss it forever.
Vampires have a very long lifespan, and Judith will wait for them to complete the S-class adventurer quest one day and become a true S-class adventurer.
Chen Yue and the others cooperated so well to explain the information they knew, which made the suspicion in the hearts of the Diya thieves reduce a lot. At the same time, the other party is a Diya person like him, and his psychological rejection is much smaller, so he didn't come to Chen Yue and them for trouble.
The head and deputy head of the regiment have already expressed their positions, and the rest of the regiment members can only pinch their noses and admit it.
Chen Yue and Christina, who temporarily joined the Red Arrow Adventure Group, were arranged by Judith in the center of the team and followed her into a stone forest.
These huge natural stone pillars form a dense stone forest like a primeval forest, and there is only a path more than one person wide on the ground, with unusually dense bushes on both sides, and a few small animals from time to time, which are much more vibrant than the rocky Gobi outside.
This is a shortcut to the capital of the dead, which can save about a day of travel, but it is correspondingly much more dangerous than the main road, and the chance of encountering monsters is also very high.
The Diya thieves in the adventuring group are exploring the way ahead to avoid unnecessary trouble, and they are here to hurry, not to find trouble with the Warcraft.
Following a powerful adventure group, Chen Yue and the others rarely had a chance to make a move, and the scattered monsters they encountered on the road were also killed by the members of the adventure group.
"Wait a minute, there seems to be a situation ahead."
The Diya thieves suddenly appeared at the front of the group.
He noticed a series of large footprints near the road ahead, apparently not human or undead, but in his experience a group of bear goblins.
Bear Goblins are a variant of Goblins that are tall, strong, have bear-like faces, and are more agile than normal humans. However, the evil and greedy bear goblin is not very intelligent, and often does some very stupid things.
However, it is not a good thing to encounter a team of bear goblins in the wild, and they are likely to be followed by a bear goblin leader whose combat power is very close to that of a Mithril rank professional.
Sometimes the bear goblins also lead other wild goblin races, goblins, goblin warriors, etc., and the goblin army they form can't be dealt with by ordinary adventurers.
And most importantly, bear goblins usually live in the underground environment, and they are rarely found on the surface, and they belong to one of the underground races in the dark regions, and finding them on the surface indicates that there are many caves that can exist in the underground world nearby.
Judith frowned and said in a deep voice, "Colin, do you see clearly?" ”
"Are they really bear goblin footprints? And not some other creature? ”
The Diya thief Colin took out a blank piece of paper, pointed to the paw prints on it, and said, "The footprints of the bear goblin are very special, between the footprints of humans and bears, as long as anyone who knows a little can recognize them, do you think I will make a mistake in this kind of thing?" ”
It may be that with a new relationship, Colin is much more vigilant and will not be able to make such a low-level mistake.
Judith took the white paper and looked at it, and immediately understood that the footprints on it were indeed bear goblins, and they were also adult bear goblins, at least two meters tall, otherwise they would not have left such huge footprints.
Just in case, she decided to go up and check on the situation herself.
Chen Yue insisted on following despite the other party's obstruction, if the entrance to the underground world really appeared here, then the situation would be quite bad, after all, this is the hinterland of the undead realm, if an underground race invasion broke out here, just thinking about it would be a headache.
The thief Colin glanced at Chen Yue, didn't say anything, turned around and led the way in front.
There are obvious traces of being trampled by some creature in the stone forest bushes more than 3,000 meters away from the path, and there are quite a few footprints, at least one of them is left by about twenty bear goblins, which is very close to the total number of a small bear goblin tribe.
There were also some blood stains and broken bones on the ground, indicating that there had been a battle here. Apparently this is within the hunting area of the bear goblins, which is undoubtedly bad news.
"What to do? Either go and kill these bear goblins and receive a reward, or report the news to the guild and let the army of the undead take care of it. Colin the thief poked his head out.
This is no longer a matter for adventurers, after all, the bear goblins are related to the underground world, and the undead realm also has a reason to participate, and even if these bear goblins are the advance force of the underground world, so their blind choice may become a fatal mistake.
Chen Yue touched his chin and proposed, "Why don't we follow up and take a look, it may just be the bear goblin who has just migrated over and happened to find a passage out of the underground near here." ”
The caves in the underground world are extensive, and God knows where some lead to them, and there are often underground races on the continent who come to the surface world after entering a passage by mistake.
"I'm not willing to leave like this, it's still a big task, we have to grasp the first-hand information." Judith made up her mind that if they wanted to reach the S-Class Adventure Party faster, they would have to take a risk.
The thief Colin sighed helplessly, and could only enter the stealth, first following the footprints to check the specific situation.
"Alright, let's go back." Judith smiled at Chen Yue, who was standing on the side, and said, "With Colin's strength, you should be able to find some useful news." ”
About ten minutes later.
The thief Colin was embarrassed and returned to Chen Yue's temporary foothold, behind a huge rock.
He didn't look good now, half of his hair was burned, and he had a few bows and arrows stuck in his body, and looking at the green wounds, these bows and arrows were most likely quenched with poison. If it weren't for the antidote that Colin had with him, he probably wouldn't have come back.
