Chapter 005: Cloak of Shadows
Agreed, why not? I've already said that it's polluted, so it's better to be thorough and have some new changes.
And then......
Taryn saw the Tree of Life grab the goblin corpse on the ground and put it in his mouth. I only heard sounds like "click" and "squeak" coming out, mixed with the screams of goblins who weren't dead before.
Didn't you say absorption? What's the trouble just eating it? Taryn was a little speechless, but he had no physical limitations. Although subjectively I felt nauseous, my body did not cooperate at all and did not feel the slightest discomfort.
[Alienation Mission: The Tree of Life Completely Alienated]
Description: The tainted Tree of Life has devoured a lot of flesh and souls, and has undergone some incomprehensible changes......
Objective: Help the Tree of Life complete its transformation
Requirements: Obtain the Traceability Magic Stone*1, obtain the Mithril Dagger*1
Reward: The Tree of Life, which has been fully transformed
Wait, what is this thing? The last task hasn't been completed yet, so why is there another alienation task? Just looking at the mission requirements, Taryn had a feeling of being in a fog, tracing the origin of the magic stone and the Mithril dagger, he had never seen it.
On second thought, however, a task can only be triggered if the conditions are met, and there is a possibility that it will be completed. So these two things must be nearby...... The goblin leader seemed to have pulled out a glowing stone.
It just so happens that the goblin boss is just missing, and for the sake of primary treasures and resources, pursuit is also necessary.
It was close to dawn now, and there was not much time left for Tyron. After this night, I don't know if those goblins will chase after me.
Without further hesitation, Tyron immediately chased the goblins in the direction of the goblin retreat with the two reborn sand guards.
The cold of the desert night is difficult for ordinary creatures to handle. These goblins live underground, on the surface of the desert all year round, and it is difficult to adapt to them day and night. It's just that relatively speaking, although the night is cold, it is better than strong light and heat.
Taryn followed the footprints, following the trail of the goblins. Tracking was only one aspect, he had to think about how to kill the leader.
At 1.5 meters, he is tall and mighty for a goblin, but short for any normal adult. Small stature, backward weapons, primitive fighting methods, combat effectiveness is nothing to worry about.
But although it is weak, it has the consciousness of being a leader. If there is a risk, the subordinates will go first, and if there is a danger, they will withdraw first, and the leadership style of living and getting rid of it. Coupled with dozens of goblins around it, with Tyron's current condition, it was really difficult to kill.
The sand dunes turned over and over again, and it seemed endless. The undulating sand dunes, in the dim sky before dawn, appear quiet and elegant, and the dark gray soft sand dunes are reflected against the light gray canopy, with a lonely beauty - the day is almost dawn.
"Damn, they stole the water and the wheat cakes!"
"Guards, get your stuff back!"
"It's over, Miss Mihir is gone, and the captain of the guard has killed all the ugly goblins."
A jumble of voices came from behind the dunes, and it wasn't long before an ugly turquoise face appeared in Tyron's vision.
At this moment, he was only a few meters away from the top of the sand dune, and when he saw the goblin leader suddenly popping out on his own, he didn't think much about it at the moment, and directly swung the stone stick in his hand and smashed it.
The goblin leader tilted his head, fell to the dune, and rolled down.
However, Taryn will not be stupid and chase down, he directly controls a reborn sand guard behind him, and slashes it down with an axe!
With a terrible howl, the axe slashed directly from its left shoulder to its heart.
[Random Mission Completed: You have obtained Cloak of Shadow*1, 50 Gold, 100 Lifesource]
The mission is finally complete, and the resources and treasures are in hand.
Apparently this wasn't the end of the story, though, and soon more goblins appeared on the dunes, each carrying something on their backs. Several of the goblins also carry a little girl above their heads, which looks a little funny.
"Blonde, blue-eyed, from the Western Continent?" Taryn wondered.
Could it be that the trade routes of the Eastern and Western Continents have been opened, and these goblins have just ransacked a caravan?
The goblins saw that the leader had been almost split in half, and that the murderer was three undead creatures, and they fled in all directions without looking back.
The goblins holding the little girl glanced at each other, and then at the same time, they threw the little girl towards Tyrann...... Then they ran in other directions.
Aside from the little girl, the goblins had nothing else to lose - it seemed that they were more experienced in doing this.
Taryn thought about it, but caught the little girl. In addition, the reborn Shawei also touched the glowing stone from the goblin leader and gave it to Tyran.
Blonde hair and blue eyes, delicate facial features, and snow-white skin, it is indeed in line with the characteristics of the people of the Western Continent. Although there are few exchanges between the Eastern and Western Continents, there were also many people from the Western Continent living in the royal capital of the Jade Empire back then, and Tylen would not admit this mistake.
The moment the little girl saw Taryn, she cried out - Tylen was quite speechless, I didn't see you cry when I was kidnapped by the goblins before, why are you crying now? Tease me!
Fortunately, this is the desert, so it is difficult for him to have a chance to see his face full of cracks, and not only that, but his current face itself is no different from a mummy with unbandages, which is full of horror.
Taryn quickly untied the rope for the little girl, and then the little girl ran backwards without looking back.
As dawn broke, Taryn didn't hesitate and quickly dived into the gravel. The two reborn Shawei also turned into yellow sand and ambushed.
Sha Wei was not uncomfortable with the sun, but Taryn had already heard the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, and it was supposed to be the group of Western Continenters who had stolen them.
Although he had learned the language of the Western Continent, with the way he was now, it would be difficult for him to communicate with the other party. Let's hide it first, the Mithril dagger needed for the alienation mission is very likely to be in the hands of these people.
As for how to get it, you need to think carefully, humans are not goblins, so they are not so easy to deal with...... Of course, it's best to settle peacefully, and Tyron doesn't have a lot of cards in his hand right now.
"Miss Mihir, are you alright?" A middle-aged man dressed in a butler's costume asked with concern.
"Look at Mr. Lott, look at the bigger goblin who was killed by something mysterious." A knight said, pointing to the corpse of the goblin leader.
Another person walked over to inspect the corpse and said, "Split directly from the shoulder bone, and split the heart by the way, what a barbaric way...... No, there's a lot of sand mixed in the flesh? ”
While coaxing the weeping little girl, the housekeeper Lott asked, "Miss Mihir, did you see anything just now?" ”
"Monster...... Whining...... It's a scary monster......" the little girl said with a scared face.
The butler and the knight looked at each other, where is the monster around here? Could it be those horrific legends of the Beser Desert?
Taryn under the sand layer was even more speechless, he was also a famous beautiful man in the Jade Empire back then, why did he become a terrifying monster now?
