The cave where the goblin captives were held was not far away, and it was a minute's walk from the camp along a path. There is no obstruction between here and the camp, and you can see each other clearly. The grass and trees at the entrance of the cave were simply cleared to make a good view, and two bonfires illuminated the entrance to the cave.

Wang Jiyuan arranged for a squad to be stationed here. However, by this time, most of the people had already gotten into their sleeping bags to rest, leaving only four people to stand guard at the entrance of the cave.

"Who?!Don't move!" Cai Long, the sentry at the head, saw Ji Yijun and Ye Zi emerging from the darkness, and immediately picked up his gun, and only after seeing his face clearly did he scold, ", it's you kid! I didn't know that the battalion commander was going to have a curfew!"

"Lao Cai. You're a serious soldier, deputy platoon commander. Don't make a fuss, no. Ji Yijun paced, shook to Cai Long, hooked his back, "Who will come to this broken forest except for goblins, you look nervous, you can't be afraid of ghosts, right?"

"you!" Cai Long smiled, pushed him back, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course you're here to interrogate information. Ji Yijun said.

"Didn't the battalion commander just leave for a long time?

Ji Yijun pointed at Ye Zi and said, "Lao Wang asked me to bring her to try it and see if I can make the goblin speak if I can change the woman." After all, she's had a good relationship with the goblins, right?"

Cai Long glanced at Ye Zi and approached Ji Yijun: "Are you sure? Isn't she just dismissed? Isn't it some trick you made for your sister?"

"you. Ji Yijun also whispered: "Heaven and earth conscience, which man with a normal head would look for her?

"Overlord flowers may have a different flavor and are difficult to say. The two of them laughed.

Ye Zi, who was standing behind, was impatient, "What are you secretly muttering?" ”

"Yes, the code. "Ji Yijun is the most clever at this time, "Lao Wang is a fine person, and he also set a password." Right?"

"Yes, yes, that's right!" Cai Long looked serious, "You want to judge that goblin, right?" Do you want to bring it up and ask it, or do you want to go into the cave and ask?"

"Inside. Ye Zi replied.

"None of them are armed, but the shaman looks evil, so be careful. Cai Long removed the fence at the door, asked his soldiers to hand them two torches, and when the two of them entered, closed the fence again.

The cave is smaller than Ji Yijun imagined, and the structure is much simpler, walking more than a dozen steps from a straight stone path to the bottom of the cave.

By the light of the fire, Ji Yijun saw more than a dozen goblins in tattered clothes huddled in the corner. The goblins are small and not very strong, so the guards don't even bother to tie them up without weapons.

When these goblins saw Ji Yijun and Ye Zi coming in, most of them looked nervous, dodging and not daring to look at them, and a few of them were trembling. The only one who seemed calmer was an old goblin with a strange pattern on his face and a bone necklace on his body.

"Well, this is the guy. Ji Yijun pointed at the goblin shaman with a torch. The shaman's eyes narrowed at the torch, but he made no sound.

Ye Zi stepped forward, looked at the old goblin, and asked, "You are the shaman who led this tribe, right?" I want to know why you are in this forest and why you are killing the surrounding villagers. ”

The old goblin squinted his eyes at Ye Zi, lowered his head, and said nothing.

"You killed the villagers around you, so that's why we attacked your village. You must pay for what you have done. But I don't think you want to see so many goblins die. And for me, I don't think killing all the goblins is the only solution. So I need you to tell me how it all started. ”

The old goblin had a sneer on his face, but he still didn't answer Ye Zi's question.

"Don't pass up this opportunity. Some people wish you were dead. Ji Yijun interjected on the side.

At this time, a female goblin holding a child next to him approached the goblin shaman and muttered a call. The old goblin's face moved slightly. He slowly raised his head, stared at Ye Zi, and began to speak in a hoarse voice, his tone was a little weird, and some foreigners spoke Chinese: "I never believe in any human beings. I have lived fifty years and have seen many goblins die at the hands of humans. You are more vicious than wolves, more cunning than foxes. Goblins who have believed in humans have not ended well. However, my daughter just told me that you let her go once. Why?"

"Because she's holding the baby. Ye Zi replied.

The goblin shaman sneered, "Hmph, hypocritical mercy. You humans are always like that, doing bad things with compassion. And we goblins, we can do whatever we want!"

"So we live in a house on the plains, and you can only sit in the woods!" Ji Yijun sneered.

"You're not bad, are you? Ye Zi waved him to shut up, and asked the goblin shaman again, "Don't you want to save your daughter and grandson? ”

The old goblin glanced at the little goblin in his mother's arms, shook his head, and said, "Goblins are useless to humans. We don't have dwarven skills, we don't have elven knowledge, we don't have orc strength. Therefore, human beings never give us any other way out than to kill us. You don't have to make any more effort, I don't want to be cheated again. If you hadn't let my daughter go once, I wouldn't have spoken to you at all. ”

"You say 'again'? have you dealt with humans before?" Ye Zi asked.

"Did I say it? That's just a thing of the past, huh, otherwise how could I have spoken the magic language?" the goblin shaman sat down without saying a word.

For a moment, there was silence in the cave, only the slight crackling sound of the torch burning.

Probably because of the smell of torch smoke, the little goblin who was being held suddenly began to cry, he was much smaller than a human baby, so his voice was very high-pitched, and it sounded very irritating.

The goblin shaman stretched out his finger and drew a strange symbol in the air, then pressed it on the little goblin's forehead, and soon, the little goblin's voice was quiet, but the old goblin's hand never retracted.

The female goblin suddenly screamed when she saw this, and pleaded with the goblin shaman in a panic. She spoke very quickly, as if something important was about to leave her.

"What's going on?" Ye Zi asked uneasily.

"Perhaps...... He wanted to kill the little thing. Ji Yijun guessed.

"What are you doing!" Ye Zi saw that the little goblin's breath was slowly weakening, and hurriedly flew up and kicked away the shaman's hand, and the female goblin took advantage of the situation and hid in the corner with the little goblin.

The goblin shaman was kicked by Ye Zi and staggered and fell to the ground. He slowly propped himself up from the ground, looked at the frightened female goblin and the other clansmen, and sighed, "What do I know...... What's the use of telling you what happened to us? Being a slave to you is death, and even if you let us go, where can we go? That child died here, and he didn't have to suffer anymore. ”

"You should give it a try. Ye Zi said, "At least, I can see that you can't bear it." ”

The goblin shaman sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his words in mind, his hands making various movements with the faint chanting sound. After a while, he spoke: "Ancestors told me that there is still a chance, so let me not give up ......." Well, I'll tell you why we're here. Our tribe used to live in deeper mountain forests, where few humans would go, there were many wild beasts, and there was little food, so our tribe was still small, but it could survive. However, just over two months ago, everything was not at peace, first of all, there were frequent earthquakes and landslides in the mountains, and the wild beasts became particularly vicious. The Wolf Tooth tribe near us moved to the woods outside, but was soon attacked by human magicians, and many goblins fled back and joined our tribe. However, it didn't take long for a band of humans to sneak up on our tribe at night. Originally, they were not necessarily tribal opponents, and our ancestral soul warriors and shamans were more numerous than them. But they attacked us with vile means, just as you did. ”

"We sneak attacked?" Ji Yijun said dissatisfiedly, "We are coming in with Zhengda Guangming!"

The goblin shaman ignored him and continued, "That night, many warriors were killed in the house before they could wake up. We had to fight and flee and leave the village overnight. By daytime the next day, I counted the people in the forest, and only half of the tribe had escaped, and the rest had died...... All dead. ”

"What about those who attacked you?" Ye Zi asked.

"They took over our village and took all our food. So we have to escape all the way and flee here, there are humans here, it is possible to get more food, otherwise winter is coming, and my tribe will die. ”

"And that's not all, right? You've taken a lot of people to sacrifice them. Ye Zi asked.

The goblin shaman was silent for a moment before he said, "Summoning the ancestral soul to bless the warriors requires sacrifices, and I want to turn the remaining strong men of the tribe into ancestral soul warriors, so that we can kill back to the village." But everything has been ruined by you. ”

Ji Yijun leaned against the stone wall with a torch in his hand, and suddenly remembered something: "What kind of person attacked you, you can tell me clearly!"

"All of them were humans, maybe seven or eight, maybe a dozen, I don't know, but the two leading ones, one was a strong man who could transform into a rock giant, and the other could shoot arrows, and the shamans of our tribe died at his hands. The old goblin pointed to his left arm, which had a scar the size of a coin, "I was also hit by one of the man's arrows." ”

"Transform into a giant and an archer?" Ji Yijun jumped up, carried the old goblin's torn clothes, lifted him up, and asked in a loud voice: "Where is your village? Take me there!"

"Do you think it's Orville and Awan?" Ye Zi asked.

"These two bastards must have been. They fled into the woods. They must have gathered some horse thieves these days and wanted to make their way through the forest back home. ”

"Put him down, he's going to be strangled to death by you. ”

Ji Yijun threw the goblin shaman to the ground, squatted down, and looked at him fiercely, "Say it quickly!"

The shaman coughed a few times, showed an ugly smile, and said, "It seems that I really have what you need." Then I can make a deal with you. You promised to let all of us goblins go and drive out the people in our village. I'll show you the way!"

"Will Camp Commander Wang agree?" Ye Zi whispered.

Ji Yijun thought for a while, and remembered that Wang Jiyuan ordered him not to take revenge privately. He shook his head and said, "He, how can he know that if he misses this time, he may really have no chance." I'm not going to be foolish enough to tell him! I'm going to let these goblins go and get revenge myself. ”

"It's not your revenge alone! I'll go too!" Ye Zi said.

Ji Yijun didn't seem surprised, but asked, "Are you sure? This is the second time you've made a mistake as a good girl." ”

"Sure!" Ye Zi gritted his teeth and said, "Fart, good girl." ”

"Haha, that's good. Ji Yijun glanced at the goblin shaman, "Deal!"
