8. First encounter with aborigines

"There is a situation!" Yang Qianyu opened his eyes suddenly, and his figure jumped up and rushed out of the room. Outside the house, Li Xiang, Fu Bin, Shi Jinxin and others had already assembled near the bonfire, and more companions got up and left the house in a daze, alert, or panic.

Seeing Yang Qianyu coming, Li Xiang hurriedly greeted: "Old Yang, are you also ......?"

"Yes, I heard that, too." Without waiting for Li Xiang to finish asking, Yang Qianyu understood what he was going to ask, nodded and said, "But listening to the voice, it feels like it's not close to us." ”

"But since we can hear it, it means that we are not far away." Fu Bin is colorful.

Li Xiang nodded, and turned to a girl beside him who was wearing a cyan robe embroidered with mystical runes, holding her forehead with one hand and closing her eyes, "Han Xiao, have you found anything?" ”

"I can't see anything." Han Jiao, who was dressed in a sorcerer's green robe, shook his head when he heard this, closed his eyes and replied, "I have set up a 'sentry guard' in each of the eight directions of the village. However, the range that the Lv0 'Sentry Guard' can monitor is only 100 meters, and it is clear that the place where the movement is coming out is not within my monitoring range. ”

"Then we can only follow the sound search." Li Xiang groaned, then turned to Yang Lixue. "Lixue, it's up to you."

"Got it." Yang Lixue agreed, and then opened the five fingers of her left hand and raised it above her head, only to see a light green light cluster appear from her palm, and then the light cluster quickly transformed into the appearance of an owl, flapped her wings and flew up, hovering around Yang Lixue's head.

"Go ahead." Yang Lixue waved her hand, and the owl whistled and flew in the direction Yang Lixue pointed. At the same time as the owl flew away, Yang Lixue stroked her left eye with her left hand, establishing a visual sharing between the vision of her left eye and the owl's eyes, so as to explore the distant situation through the owl.

"See!" Yang Lixue said: "There are a lot of fires in the woods in the south, and it seems that there are people fighting in them. However, Rinnai's vision is too poor, and the owl can't see clearly. ”

"What should I do?" Yang Qianyu looked at Li Xiang. "Would you like to send someone to take a closer look? I can be a vanguard, but I need at least two companions to provide me with long-range fire cover......"

"No way!" Li Xiang flatly refused: "The situation is unknown, and it is too dangerous to rush to investigate." I can't joke with the lives of my companions. ”

"Hey, like I'm going to die." Yang Qianyu said helplessly. "Don't worry, I won't get too close to anywhere."

"That's not going to work......"

While Yang Qianyu and Li Xiang were arguing about whether to go to investigate, Yang Lixue, who had been paying attention to the changes in the forest, suddenly let out a "huh" and exclaimed, "The firelight has begun to move...... The direction is this! They're moving to where we are! ”

"Be on your guard!" Li Xiang shouted, pulled out his war hammer and came to the edge of the defensive belt of his residence, looking ahead vigilantly. I saw a little fire in the shadowy woods in the distance, and then a second and a third...... More and more fires appeared, gradually connecting together, and it seemed that there were nearly a hundred!

"Yikes!" Yang Lixue exclaimed: "There are so many monsters! They seem to be chasing something...... Yes! It's people! There are a few people in front of those monsters! Those monsters are chasing those people! ”

"People?!" After listening to Yang Lixue's words, Li Xiang and the others all looked towards the firelight, only to see a few nimble figures in front of the firelight running desperately towards the village where everyone was. It's just that with a distance of more than 100 meters, and the sky is too dark, even with the firelight, everyone still can't see the specific situation clearly.

Of course, this is only for the naked eye.

"Ten people in total!" Han Jian saw the movement of the opposite side clearly through the investigation of the 'sentry guard'. "There are a lot of monsters behind them! There are hundreds of ...... Wrong! It's hundreds...... Oh my God, so many monsters! It looks like seven or eight hundred! ”

"Alert! Enemy attack! Li Xiang shouted, and the companions around him suddenly got ready, each holding a weapon and facing the direction of the monster's attack.

At this time, the screams of monsters and the shouts of humans in the distance were clearly audible, and from time to time you could see a bright light accompanied by a roar flashing away.

At this time, everyone had already seen the attacking monsters - they were a group of devil-like monsters with a height of only about one meter, three or four meters, rickets on their backs, a slender tail and a pair of membranous wings the size of a fan, and fangs and claws. Most of these monsters are dark brown in size, and a few of the strongest ones are dark red all over, and they also have a horn on their foreheads. I saw these horned monsters wielding flaming torches in their hands, which were used as batons to direct other monsters to surround the fleeing humans.

When Yang Qianyu and Li Xiang saw the monsters that appeared, they each threw a 'probing technique' and looked at them separately.

'Name: Goblin'''Category: Demons-Inferior Demons'''Level: 1''Attributes: Strength D, Resistance E, Constitution E, Agility D, Spirit N/A''Characteristics: None'

'Name: Unicorn Goblin'''Category: Demon-Inferior Demon'''Level: 1''Attributes: Strength D+, Resistance E, Constitution E+, Agility D+, Spirit N/A''Characteristic: None'

"Judging from the attributes, the single strength of these monsters is not strong." Li Xiang muttered.

"But there are too many of them." Yang Qianyu pointed to the outside of the village and said: "With this quantity of hundreds at every turn, it is completely possible to rely on quantity to outperform quality." ”

While everyone was evaluating the strength of the monsters, the goblin monsters had already surrounded the fleeing human team in front of them and began a frantic attack.

This ten-person team did not panic after being surrounded by monsters, but instead formed three small battle formations back to back with each other, resisting the monsters that pounced on them from all directions. The ten men were six men and four women, each with a one-handed sword and shield to protect three women with bows and arrows in the middle, while three female archers drew their bows and arrows at the monsters on the periphery.

And the most eye-catching is the last girl with a double ponytail in the ten, I saw that she used a spear with a hook and sickle, constantly wandering around the perimeter to raid, and whenever the monster crowd came up, she alertly retreated into the defensive circle and resisted with her companions. Yang Qianyu and the others also saw that among these people, this female gunner should be the strongest, because in just a short period of time, the number of monsters she killed alone was the sum of the other nine companions.

However, in the face of monsters dozens of times the number of their own, the probability of escaping with only the female gunner and her companions is still almost none.

"Shall we help them?" Li Xiang asked his companions for advice.

"There are too many monsters, I'm afraid it's too dangerous." Chen Zhanying said a word, and then quickly emphasized: "I'm not afraid, it's just that those people are not related to us, is it worth it for us to risk to save them?" ”

"It's worth it." Yang Qianyu said. "This is the first Indigenous people we have met since we crossed into this world, and in order to be able to adapt and understand the world, our contact with Indigenous people is inevitable. And in a situation like this, it is best to engage with these indigenous peoples, as long as we can save them and build a foundation of mutual trust. ”

"As for the danger of monsters, don't worry too much." Yang Qianyu continued: "The individual strength of these monsters is a mess, and it is entirely by virtue of their large numbers, ferocious nature, and fear of death that these aborigines can be besieged. And the strongest of these natives is on a par with our mediocre mage-type companions. She can hold out for so long, why can't we? What's more, what we have to do is not to kill all the monsters, but to rescue these people, which will be simpler. ”

Yang Qianyu's words not only explained the benefits and disadvantages in detail, but also reassured everyone. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Xiang immediately quickly deployed and prepared to start rescuing people.

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the war group outside the village.

It turned out that several one-horned goblins took advantage of the opportunity of the female gunner's shot to impale one of their companions, and clawed out their claws to grab the hook and sickle that she had not had time to pull back. Several goblins in the vicinity took the opportunity to rush up, waving their claws and grabbing at the female gunman. The female gunman's companion couldn't help but exclaim when she saw that she couldn't withdraw her weapon for a while, and that she and the others were powerless to help.

As the female spearman was about to die under the claws of those goblins, a long howl was heard in the sky, and then a figure fell. I saw that the figure reached out and waved its hand at the same time as it landed, and a sharp light flashed away, and then several goblins that rushed up all fell to the ground with their heads off their necks, and the headless body immediately fell.

"Shi Jinxin, this guy is fast enough." Yang Qianyu smiled when he saw this.

After Shi Jinxin solved the goblin that surrounded him with a sword, he rushed forward with a sword and pierced the head of a one-horned goblin holding the female spearman's weapon, and then the blade of the sword changed and slashed, cutting the goblin's head in half and beheading the other goblin next to him with a sword.

Don't wonder why Shi Jinxin can use a sword to slash the goblin's head, you must know that the height of these goblins is only about one meter, three or four, which can reach Shi Jinxin's chest. If Shi Jinxin raised his sword to stab, it would naturally be the most convenient way to greet the goblin's head with a sword.

In an instant, a few swords stabbed out, and the goblins within five steps were cleared by Shi Jinxin. Then Shi Jinxin used his long sword to pick up the spear that fell to the ground and threw it back to the female gunner, and said lightly: "Move in the direction of the village, there is a response." ”

The female spearman looked at Shi Jinxin, who barely swept away more than a dozen goblins with a snap of her fingers, and after taking the spear in a daze, she retreated into the battle formation of her companions. Only then did she see the situation around herβ€”she saw that several figures had also appeared around the battle formation formed by her companions, each holding a weapon to protect her and the other nine companions inside.

The styles of weapons and equipment of these people have never been seen by female gunners, and their appearance with black hair and black eyes is even more special.

"Let's go!" Seeing that Shi Jinxin answered the female gunner who was walking around the periphery, Yang Qianyu waved his hand, and several companions who went out to answer protected the ten aborigines on the inside and retreated in the direction of the village.

The goblins howled angrily when they saw the humans retreating in front of them, and then lunged at the crowd.
