Chapter 4: The Kobold Tribe
Their mouthparts are full of sharp teeth, and the scene is truly disgusting.
Another time is more dangerous, when he was on a tree to observe a hare not far away, this rabbit's limbs are much longer than the rabbit on the earth, it should have a better jumping ability, the length is about half a meter, the rabbit is very vigilant, when eating grass leaves, he also raised his head from time to time to observe the surroundings, Lin Ziming did not underestimate this rabbit at all, and the exploration information in his mind warned him that this rabbit was not ordinary.
Name: Ferocious Hare
Level: Level 6 creature
Note: Not knowledgeable enough to learn more
The level of this rabbit is even higher than that of the wild boar, although the level does not mean that this rabbit can beat the wild boar, but this is also a form of strength.
Just as he lamented that the rabbit was not in good shape, the rabbit stopped eating, and then stood up with its hind hooves, and looked around vigilantly, as if he had found something.
"Did I expose it?"
Before Lin Ziming could start to worry, the rabbit let out a scream, and a creature that looked like a huge insect rushed out of the ground, with several slender tentacles on its body, and the tentacles had sharp claws at the end, only to see it bite the hare that wanted to escape, and the huge and sharp jaws and teeth clamped the hare that wanted to struggle.
The strength of the hare should not be small, the strength of the desperate struggle made the head of the giant insect keep shaking, but it was useless, the giant insect that successfully hunted retracted back to the ground with his prey, and the neighing of the rabbit came from the mouth of the wormhole from time to time, but its end was already doomed, and after a while, the surroundings were silent again.
Lin Ziming swallowed his saliva, glanced at the information tip of the giant insect, and then silently left the area, and drew this place as a dangerous area.
Name: Digging beetle
Level: Level 10 magical creature
Note: Not knowledgeable enough to learn more
This kind of experience made Lin Ziming deeply aware of the danger here, and the lack of a suitable weapon on his body made him have a strong sense of crisis, and the pain of the wound also limited his energy very much.
He was going to find a safe place to hide, and when he returned to Earth for 6 hours, he was thinking about it in the long run, this time he came suddenly, he just learned some basic information under the transmission of information, and after he went back, he had to look up the information, he knew that there would be many people like him, and there must be a lot of them.
"There's smoke up ahead!" Lin Ziming noticed that smoke was rising from below in the jungle below the hillside ahead.
Don't think about it, something must be going on in front of you, it could be some kind of intelligent creature cooking on the fire, or it could be some dangerous trap.
Knowing that it might be dangerous to go to check, but Lin Ziming was already on the way to check, there was no way, who told him that he had been an adventurer (death) since he was a child.
He hunched over, lowered his body as low as he could, stood on tiptoe, and kept the footsteps to a minimum, for fear of alarming something.
As he slowly approached, a chaotic and noisy sound came through, like the neighing cry of a puppy, and he frowned.
"Trouble, it seems to be some kind of language that I don't understand, it's not a lingua franca, and it shouldn't be a human before." But Lin Ziming did not retreat, he secretly approached the past, gently picked up the bushes, and looked inside.
Suddenly, Lin Ziming's body broke out in a cold sweat, and at the foot of this mountain turned out to be a simple camp, and in the open space of the camp there were more than thirty small creatures with dogs' heads on their heads dancing an unknown dance around a fire, and they were holding various weapons in their hands, most of them were shovels or hoes.
This must be the legendary kobold, it is too vivid, at most one meter three or four tall, wrinkled yellow skin, a bearded dog head with saliva in its mouth, and several humanoid creatures barbecued on the fire, which look like lizardmen with tails.
Lin Ziming couldn't help but congratulate himself on his caution just now, if he was accidentally discovered by them, he would be roasted and eaten if he died, it would be too tragic.
He noticed that behind the group of kobolds were some boxes and parcels, next to several human corpses, and three still alive, two humans and one of the same kind of lizardmen roasting on the fire, the humans looked very much like medieval Europeans, one was an older old man with white hair and beard, and the other was a middle-aged fat uncle, and the lizardman he couldn't see any difference from the one on the fire, it seemed that they had just succeeded in robbing a caravan or traveler, no wonder they were so happy.
He carefully observed the situation of the entire kobold camp, and found that their houses were very few, only a few simple dwellings built of wood, and counted them, there were only 3 small cabins and one large wooden house, according to the number of these kobolds, these houses were not enough for them to live in, and it was difficult for them to like to live outside? Lin Ziming's heart couldn't help but have doubts.
Lin Ziming checked their information with the exploration technique, and sure enough, it was kobolds, most of them were ordinary creatures of level 3 and 4, and their names were kobold miners, kobold miscellaneous soldiers. And there are a few level 6 and 7 ones called kobold guards and kobold overseers.
At this moment, out of the big wooden hut came a kobold, this kobold was larger than the average kobold, wearing a gray leather wallet, and holding a broad-bladed battle axe in his hand, he walked up to the group of kobolds, and roared at them who were dancing awkwardly.
Lin Ziming couldn't understand what he was saying, so he took the opportunity to check his information.
Name: Kobold Warrior
Level: Level 9 normal creature
Note: Not knowledgeable enough to learn more
When the kobolds heard the roar of the kobold warrior, they immediately became quiet, and quickly made way for a way from the big log house to the fire, and they looked at the big log house with some awe as if some important person was coming.
Seeing the kobolds' reactions, the roaring kobold warrior nodded in satisfaction, and then he also stood aside and looked at the cabin with the kobolds.
Lin Ziming also stared at the big wooden house, and he was also very curious about what made these kobolds so in awe.
After a while, four kobolds walked out of the big wooden house, and the two in the back were the same kobold warriors as the kobolds who came out just now, and the appearance of the two kobolds in front was a little different, one of the kobolds was even thicker than the kobold warriors, about one meter six tall, full of muscles, and wearing a gray leather armor, but wearing a skull helmet on his head, and holding a mace about the same height as an ordinary kobold.
The other was about the same height and size as a normal kobold, but he could not see it, he wore a wooden mask on his head that resembled that worn by African tribes on Earth, with intricate patterns painted with red paint, a skull necklace around his neck, some intricate tattoos on his body, and a staff full of bone ornaments in his hand.
These two kobolds are not easy to mess with at first glance, Lin Ziming has already regretted coming over a little, and now he wants to immediately retreat, away from this area, which has also been painted as a dangerous area by him. But it's all here, and it's not worth checking their information before leaving.
He first used his probe to check the information of the strong kobold.
Name: Kobold Leader
Level: Level 12 Profession (Magical Creature)
Class: Warrior
Note: Not knowledgeable enough to learn more
Lin Ziming suddenly lay on the ground, and looked down, and began to observe with his peripheral vision, just when he released his exploration technique on the kobold leader, the walking kobold suddenly stopped, looked around like a fox or something, and continued to walk forward without finding anything.
Lin Ziming's heart was about to stop beating, and when the kobold leader stopped, he said that he was going to suffer, but fortunately, there was no danger, which kobold leader must have felt something, but he didn't care, so he escaped. It seems that the probes have such side effects, and if they had been released on a kobold who looked like a wizard or a shaman, he would have died by now.
Lin Ziming didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly returned the same way, but he didn't go far, although he almost died just now, he also obtained a piece of information, that is, this group of kobolds had just robbed a team of people, I don't know if it was a merchant or a traveler, but this also shows that somewhere in this area, there must be a road, and if you find this road, you can leave this jungle along this road.
And the kobold has just returned from robbery, there will definitely be some traces along the way, as long as you find these traces around here, you can find the road along the way, and now the kobold people are holding a celebration feast, it is a relatively safe time period, and after this, not to mention that the traces of the kobold returning from the robbery will be difficult to find, and the threat of the kobold will increase exponentially.
Thinking of this, Lin Ziming began to carefully inspect the surroundings, and after a while, he found a hidden path with some red traces of blood droplets, it seems that this is the road where those kobolds returned from robbery.
