Chapter 16: Rookie Adventurers

"Found it!" A brown-haired swordsman, standing in front of a cave, pointed to a goblin totem made of bones and shouted, "Look at the goblin totem, it seems that this is the goblin's lair." ”

"Did you finally find it? After most of the circle in the forest, this goblin can really hide. ”

"I'm really tired."

This is a team of four adventurers, including a male swordsman, a male martial artist, a female magician, and a goddess officer who believes in the supreme god.

Judging from their rudimentary equipment, this is a squad of rookie adventurers, and they are also the kind of rookie adventurers who die quickly. They didn't even carry a fanny pack with props, which means that they didn't even prepare the most basic hemostatic drugs and antidote herbs, so they ran out to take risks.

"Are we really going to go straight to the goblin's lair without any preparation?" The red-haired sorceress was a little scared, "Let's go back and get ready, after all, the sister at the front desk said that goblins are very cunning monsters, and it's dangerous to go in directly." ”

Rookie adventurers who die at the hands of goblins every year account for sixty percent of the death rate of rookie adventurers, and sometimes even more. It's not that the adventure guild doesn't warn newcomers, on the contrary, the guild generally recommends newcomers to destroy rats or large reptiles in the sewers.

But there are always newcomers who feel that they are very powerful, and they feel that they will be the next brave. They went one after another to conquer monsters that did not match their own strength. Among them, goblins, which seem to be weak and social monsters, are most picked up by new adventurers.

The behavior of these rookie adventurers has resulted in one result: every third team of rookie adventurers will change to a goblin settlement.

"Don't worry, it's okay, just a goblin, I'll take a sword." The swordsman drew his long sword from his waist and swung it twice.

"But..." The red-haired magician was still worried, after all, the front desk lady had been reminding her again and again.

"Don't worry, just like he said, even I, a priest, can be beaten to death with a staff." The goddess patted the mage on the shoulder and comforted, "And the guild didn't stop us from taking on the mission." ”

"Okay." The sorceress was convinced, after all, her companions insisted on going in, and it was impossible for her to escape alone.

Then a group of people walked into the cave laughing and laughing, not at all nervous about going to fight.

This is one of the reasons why most newcomers are so confident, thinking that the Adventurer's Guild has not stopped them from taking on the mission, and they think they can do it.

But they apparently forgot that the Adventurers' Guild did not have any right to restrict adventurers from accepting quests. Unless the adventurer is banned from adventuring in a city because of the punishment, the guild of that city has the right to prohibit him or her from taking the quest.

The guild is just an intermediary, not an academy, not a training institution, and not a nursery school.

In the damp and gloomy caverns, droplets of water condense from the stalactites, dripping through the cobwebs below and finally falling to the ground.

Tick, tick, tick.

The brown-haired swordsman walked in front with a torch, followed by the rest of the three-man cart.

"That's... Or let's go back first, you think, we only have one torch, and if we go it out, we won't see anything. The sorceress worried.

The other three stopped and looked at the sorceress.

"Huh? You've all come here, and you want to go back? Isn't this just a half-day drive for us? The martial artist said dissatisfiedly.

"You don't have to worry, goblins, whether they are mental or physical, they are only at the level of children, I can deal with it with one hand, and I will not let the torch go out." The swordsman comforted again.

"I've driven goblins that invade villages before, and I've got experience with that."

Then he raised the long sword in his hand and said confidently, "Even if a few of us encounter a dragon, we should be able to deal with it." ”

The martial artist also raised his right hand and agreed: "Although the dragon is a bit early for us, we should have a chance to encounter it in the future." ”

"That's right! First of all, our first goal is to become a dragon slayer! Let's go! ”

They obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with them yelling in the cave, but their voices had already been heard throughout the cave.

After a while, the four of them came to a three-way street.

"There are three paths, how do you go there?" Swordsman's Road.

After all, if you make a mistake and have to go again, it's not worth wasting so much time for the sake of a mere goblin.

"That.." The red-haired female mage raised her hand and said weakly, "I think it's safest for everyone to go together, just find each one." ”

"Don't bother, I'll go this way myself." Pointing to the path on the far right, "Even if I were alone, I could take care of these goblins." ”

"Then I'll take the middle one myself." The martial artist gave the swordsman a defiant smile, "Look at which of us killed." ”

"I'm not going to lose." The swordsman smiled back.

The female mage raised her hand again and said, "That.... It's a bit of a disappointment now, but we only have one torch. ”

"That's right! What can I do? The swordsman scratched his head, it was too difficult for him, and he had prepared a few more torches if he had known.

"I don't need to, our martial arts five senses are very keen, even in the dark environment I can see a little, and I can still hear with my ears." The martial artist is still full of confidence.

"She knows how to illuminate, and we walk together, so we don't need to." The goddess said, leaning on the magician's shoulder.

"Huh? But illumination is magical. The magician objected, "We can't just waste mana..."

The goddess officer interrupted: "It's okay, let's go, you're just too nervous." ”

After saying that, he pulled the sorceress into the passage on the right.

"Then I'll leave too, don't cry when you lose to me!"

"Hmph, that's what I should say."

After all four of them walked into the passage, more than a dozen short figures appeared in the corner behind them.

At the same time, a helicopter gunship was circling in the sky, patrolling the entire forest.

The plane was flying in the same team as the Elimination Project supernumerary, the Goblin Slayers.

Of course, there's a lizardman missing from the base who is familiarizing himself with special weapons.

"Ahh So boring! Why are the current monsters so unbeaten? Sylvia scratched her emerald green hair, her face irritated.

"Heh, those with long ears are impatient." Dwarf Iron Wine sneered, "I don't look at what weapon I'm holding, a sniper rifle with a lethality comparable to mid-level magic." And there are no powerful monsters here, if you want to find a monster that has been beaten, I suggest you go and fight the Demon God Army. ”

"Clams?! You, a grenadier with a range of two hundred meters, are you questioning the patience of a sniper?! Also, have you ever heard of what is the truth on the battlefield? Range & Truth! Sylvia asked herself.

Then he raised his sniper rifle. "See my sniper rifle with a range of 2,500 meters."

"Then have you ever heard that caliber is justice?" Not to be outdone, the dwarf Tiejiu took out his grenade launcher, "Seeing the power of each shot in my hand, is there a grenade launcher that can reach the fireball technique?" ”

"Alright, don't argue." Qili, who was next to her, began to fight every day again.

"The one with long ears!"

"Barrel!"

"Mr. Goblin Slayer, hurry up and convince both of them." Seeing that she couldn't persuade the two of them, Qili turned her head to ask for help, and was using a telescope to observe the Goblin Slayer below.

"Hmm." The Goblin Slayer answered, and then did not react.

"That's true." Kiri glared at the Goblin Slayer in disgust.

At this time, the Goblin Slayer suddenly spoke: "At seven o'clock, there is a goblin cave. ”

"Roger." The pilot steers the plane and turns its head.

He was one of the first people to take the language mushroom and understood the lingua franca, so he was sent to be their driver.

By the way, the elves and dwarves just now, "range is truth, caliber is justice," was also taught by him.

Approaching the cave, the pilot adjusted the position of the aircraft and aimed at the hole. When this cave is discovered, it is customary to give it an air-to-surface missile.

"Air-to-surface missiles are ready."

The driver snapped the shield of the firing button, and just then, the Goblin Slayer suddenly stopped him.

"Wait," the Goblin Slayer twisted his binoculars to zoom in. "There are a few footprints, which are supposed to be human in shape."

Hearing this, the driver closed the protective cover and asked, "How to deal with it?" ”

The Goblin Slayer is the leader of this team, and he directs the live operations.

"Let's go in and investigate."

Hearing the Goblin Slayer's order, everyone began to check their equipment.

"Snipers don't have to follow." Goblin Road.

"Huh?! Why? Miss Elf, who was still in high spirits and was ready to go down and do a big job, instantly collapsed.

"You need to stay on the helicopter to deliver precision strikes and prevent us from being surrounded. And your sniper rifle is simply unusable in narrow terrain like a cave. The goblin replied.

"Okay."

"Hahahaha! Long ears, I didn't expect you to have today! The dwarf laughed, and even turned his grenade launcher on purpose.

"The grenadiers can't follow up, your howitzers will blow up the cave."

The dwarven iron wine's expression froze instantly.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Dwarf, you don't know how hilarious your expression is right now. It's a pity that I don't have that kind of thing called a camera right now, otherwise I would have taken a picture of your expression and taken it out whenever I'm in a bad mood. Sylvia seized the opportunity to fight back.

"Mission begins." Saying that Goblin Slayer stopped the slip rope, jumped and jumped.

Kiri and Bernard got up and walked to the hatch and slid down the rope.

Due to her size, she can only take a submachine gun with less recoil.

And Berna, although she is also a sniper, she is also armed with two miniature submachine guns. This is also what she considered, some goblins will hide in narrow places like caves, and sniper rifles can't be used at all, so she deliberately went to the arsenal to equip two miniature submachine guns.

Coming below, the Goblin Slayer crouched down to check the freshness of the footprints, "The footprints are still fresh, they should have just entered, about three or four people." ”

"Let's go."

After saying that, the Goblin Slayer turned on the searchlight on the rifle and walked in first, followed by Kiri and Berna.
