Chapter Thirty-Eight: Tunnel Warfare

The first thing I did when I recovered was to suppress Zhou Shuai and rub his hair frantically!

He's meowing so loud just now, how did you make such a loud purr!

Well, all that just happened was that I was stupefied by a goblin that suddenly appeared. Then the whole village was on alert, and then the four of us and the village chief gathered again in a small house in the middle of the village.

I don't know why I feel like the house is really unsafe now!

If it weren't for Zhou Shuai and Li Xue and Su Ling'er beside me, I guess I would have wanted to go home in a carriage right now.

I miss my bed!

Mom, I miss you!

For the first time, I thought how cute and beautiful my mother was to be able to beat her husband out of the air for 12 companies!

What a tigress, people just have a bad temper a little bit.

The capital, Voska House.

"Ahh ”

......

Well, the situation is that the appearance of a goblin is now embattled for us.

I made a fuss for a while and barely calmed down, and I asked directly at Su Ling'er, who didn't know why she was excited, "Ling'er, did you find anything in the house just now?"

Su Ling'er nodded and said, "There is indeed a discovery." I found a tunnel in this house, but I didn't go in it for safety, and I visually saw that the goblin had come up from this tunnel. ”

In the village, authentic?

I can't believe it, can goblins still dig tunnels?

Li Xue also said at this time: "I also found some footprints on the outskirts of the village, which can be determined not to be human or animal footprints. Maybe there are goblins in the village now. ”

Zhou Shuai's head went down all of a sudden.

Well, just now when everyone was working, Zhou Shuai was sleeping alone!

The title of Emperor Jue will no longer belong to me in the future, classmate Zhou Shuai, you have once again got a brand new title after winning the title of King of Farts: Emperor Jue!

Of course, this is not all the reason why I have to suppress Zhou Shuai, the main reason is that I suppressed Li Xue or Su Ling'er or something, it is estimated that in a few days I will either be beaten to death by my father or have to go to prison for a few days.

I stood up and looked at the village chief at a loss, and after a while my brain finally calmed down.

When I calmed down, I thought about a few things.

I looked at Old John with an extremely ugly face and asked, "Village Chief, the tunnels in the village must have been dug by the villagers, right?" And you knew early on that there would be goblins coming at night, so you only arranged a room for us, right?"

When I put these two things together, I instantly felt that my doubts had a reasonable explanation.

The village chief nodded awkwardly and replied, "That's true, these tunnels were dug by the villagers, because they were worried that there would be demonic beasts attacking the village, so every household in the village has a tunnel." But these tunnels are all in charge of each family, and each family doesn't want to get through. It's not the first time we've encountered these goblins stealing food from tunnels in the past six months, and every time we find them, we kill the goblins and block a tunnel. It's hard to see it now. ”

"Wait?"

I stopped the village chief and asked suspiciously, "I see that the outside of this village is full of stone houses and the inside is all wood. Is there any connection here?"

There must be a reason for something abnormal, but sometimes things that are not necessarily abnormal will have a certain connection.

It's like the village chief arranged for us to live in wooden houses, while the remaining villagers and a squad of soldiers from the Federation also lived in the wooden houses inside.

There must be a connection between this, right?

The village chief nodded and hurriedly said, "There is a connection." Originally, these wooden houses were not used to store mountain goods, and these houses did not dig any tunnels, so now we basically live here. ”

After listening to the village chief's answer, I had a rough idea in my heart, and I held my chin with one hand, and I pondered: "In other words, there are at least hundreds of disconnected tunnels outside the fence of this village that connect the village to the outside. Even if you block some of them, there may still be a lot of them. ”

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but think of a terrible fact, and I asked the village chief, "Village chief, what is the quality of the soil under our feet? ”

I really have reason to doubt that the speculation that goblins dug underground tunnels into a single single unit and then made the whole tunnel world their home is valid.

But the village chief's words dispelled my concerns, and the village chief shook his head and said: "The reason why our village does not have cultivated fields is because the stones under the village are too big, and the tunnels in every house are dug out by ancestors for generations. ”

Is it like this?

If that's the case, then I'm relieved.

But I still think this thing is so coincidental, how can Su Ling'er and I push open a door and meet a goblin?

It's our first day here.

It's a coincidence, and it can't be a coincidence, right?

I said to Li Xue: "Li Xue, you and Ling'er took the soldiers of that squad to search these tunnels door to door, don't go down and don't disperse, wait for my order." ”

Li Xue nodded, but Su Ling'er asked suspiciously, "Why can't you go down?" Didn't the village chief say that the tunnel was very small?"

I gently shook my head at Su Ling'er and explained: "Although it's not easy to dig, it doesn't mean that you can't dig it, these goblins are very cunning, even if you go down, you won't be able to catch them." In that case, it is better to leave them with a little surprise. Ao yes, Li Xue, you give Ling'er a gas collection and release device, and if you find the tunnel, you will smoke it first, and then light the fire and put some water or something after the smoke is done, understand?"

As soon as she said that the gas collection and release device, Su Ling'er immediately did not refute it, and went to work with Li Xue with an expression of "you are ruthless".

Personally, I'm not too worried about whether the soldiers of the Federation will listen to Li Xue, and I'm more worried about me now that I want to go and see the hole for myself.

After working for a long time, it was really late, and I said to the village chief: "Village chief, you go back and rest first, you have also stayed up for a long time." ”

The village chief nodded, stood up and left. Before leaving, he specially told us to pay attention to safety.

I watched the village chief leave, and when I couldn't see the village chief's back, I pulled Zhou Shuai up and said angrily: "Let's go! No one should sleep well tonight! My safety will be handed over to you for protection!"

Originally, arranging me to be with Zhou Shuai meant to let Zhou Shuai protect me.

Now that such a big thing has happened, Zhou Shuai is still snoring there, which really provokes the anger of everyone.

Li Xue almost couldn't hold back her move, of course, this loss must be indispensable.

Zhou Shuai also knew that he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Then I took Zhou Shuai to the house where the goblins appeared before.

I don't have the night vision like Su Ling'er, so Zhou Shuai and I lit a torch each of us, and after we searched for the dust, we finally found this hole in the corner of the kang.

Kang may not be known to many people.

Kang has the same function as a bed, it is used to give people sleep.

It's just that the bed is made of wood, but the kang is made of bricks.

The best thing about the kang is that the kang can provide heat to people when the weather is cold.

The commonly known burning kang is also this concept.

Although the climate in this area is like spring all year round, the climate is unpredictable in the mountainous areas, so most households still use kang.

To be able to get out of such a small space is something that only a small goblin can do.

Oh, yes, the goblin that Su Ling'er solved just now is still at the door, I asked Zhou Shuai to exhaust into the hole, and I sat alone and looked at the goblin's corpse.

My brow furrowed in the moonlight.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked myself helplessly.

"Huh, what did you say?"

"Ask what you ask!

"O!poof~~~~"

......

Just like Zhou Shuai and I said, even if we were divided into three routes, we were busy, and it took almost one night to check almost every tunnel.

This night can be regarded as a bit of a harvest, Li Xue grabbed 2 goblins, Su Linger caught 5, and Zhou Shuai and I had the most, a total of 7.

It's funny to think about, Zhou Shuai and I chatted while exhausting at a tunnel mouth on the outskirts of the village, and after a while, there were goblins running out, Zhou Shuai don't look fat, but people are also powerful, and they killed these goblins in a few clicks.

In terms of results alone, Zhou Shuai and I have the most.

The living goblins were all tied up and concentrated in the open space of the village. In terms of height alone, most of these goblins are not taller than 140cm, and no one would have imagined that these little dwarfs could cause such much damage.

Of course, these goblins don't have any good fruit to eat, and I've planned to sell them through a way I know.

In these years, it is illegal to buy and sell human beings, but it is not illegal to buy and sell magical beasts.

Goblins are the cheapest, but they can be a good amount of money when they are numerous.

Looking at these goblins, I have a sneer on my lips.

Let you scare me!

Let you scare me!

Play to death you guys!

I didn't even plan to do this, if it weren't for these goblins scaring me in the middle of the night and almost ruining my face..... Ahem.....

That's a reason for me to stay and deal with these goblins.

Goblins are not expensive, and I don't believe that goblin patriarchs are not expensive either!

I don't want it during the holidays!

Now that you should know about it, you know about it, the terrain and environment around the village, and the structure of the village, so it's almost time to do the next thing.

This thing is important, and that is: sleep!

After staying up all night, I was really sleepy!
