Chapter 38: Unexpected Strife

Ji Yijun followed the goblin shaman and made his way along the undulating gravel field, which had indeed had landslides and was full of overwhelmed and buried trees. Because some time has passed, the trees have begun to wither, and they look very depressed.

Goblin shamans have a particularly hard time walking between rubble because of their short stature. But even though he was panting and his thighs were shaking, he continued to move forward without stopping. It seems that he wants to use the fastest speed to take these people behind him away from his tribe.

Climbing over a dirt slope, the goblin shaman fell to his knees, gasped several times, and pointed to a crack in the mountain in front of him, "That's it, although there is nothing abnormal now, but at night you will be able to see the light." ”

Ye Zi followed behind, his expression solemn. She suddenly covered her ears with her hands, then opened them again. This was repeated several times.

Ji Yijun said strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

"Didn't you hear any strange sounds?" Ye Zi asked.

"No, I don't. Ji Yijun shook his head and said.

Ye Zi covered his head with his hands, and asked Zhang Hong and Cole again: "What about you?" Did you hear it, it seems that someone is talking to you, but you can't hear what it is. ”

Zhang Hong said: "Are you tired? I also have auditory hallucinations when I am tired." ”

"No, no, I heard it clearly, for a while. Just after being in the goblin village, there was a very soft sound. As I had just come along, I vaguely heard it twice, each time clearer than the last. Now that I'm here, the sound is clear. You listen as if you're singing. It's weird, but I think the voice sounds a little intimate and has no ill will towards me. ”

Ji Yijun listened left and right and said: "I only hear the wind and the birds. There really isn't any other sound, I promise!"

"But I can hear it, and you listen, and here it is. It seemed that I could still understand the meaning of the voice, and it wanted me to pass. Go there!" Ji Yijun looked at Ye Zi's fingers, wasn't it that crack?

He walked up to the goblin shaman, pulled it up, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on? Have you ever been in this situation?"

"Some people are able to hear voices that others can't hear, like us shamans who can communicate with spirits. Maybe one of the ruins is close to her. The goblin shaman said.

"Existence?"

"Maybe some kind of soul is communicating with her. ”

"You, you mean ghosts, is there really such a thing in this world?" Zhang Hong asked.

"Of course. I heard from Captain Kalanda that she had fought the Wraith while passing through a ruin during her previous mission to escort a convoy. Ordinary weapons have no effect on them. They can only be dealt with with enchanted weapons or by using Fighting Energy. Cole interjected.

"How long can the soul of the dead person survive?, well, are there any memories of his life?" asked Zhang Hong as he leaned in front of the goblin shaman.

"All I know is that the stronger the soul, the longer it can exist. For example, when a truly strong person dies, or when he dies with strong resentment, it is easy to form a ghost. However, often only the souls of the strong retain a simple will, just like our ancestral souls, and the resentful souls formed by anger are often madmen. The goblin shaman said.

"That's good, that's good. Zhang Hong secretly thought that Hong Lifeng was not a strong man, so he put his mind at ease.

"Why do you care about this?" asked Ji Yijun.

Zhang Hong said innocently: "Isn't I concerned about Ye Zi? Besides, I have to find out what danger there is in that ruin, right?"

"Whether it's dangerous or not, I'm going to do it anyway!"

Ji Yijun stood on the dirt slope, crossed his hands on his waist, observed from afar for a while, and said, "Let's go!" Let's take a closer look along the way, if there are any traces left by those guys. ”

Several people scattered and looked down.

Cole was an experienced mercenary after all, and he quickly found the footprints. "Come and see, here it is, twelve men and one goblin. They came the other way,...... Well, these people are very careful. ”

"Be careful, how do you tell?" Ye Zi asked.

"The approximate height and stride length can be judged by the size of the soles of a person's feet, who are significantly smaller than normal and whose footprints often sway from side to side. It shows that they are walking very slowly and are constantly looking around. The half-elf approached the entrance of the cave as he analyzed, but when he came to the entrance, his green eyes suddenly opened, and then quickly retreated.

"What's going on?" asked Ji Yijun.

"There is another group of people! They are approaching the entrance of the cave from the other side, there are four people, and at least three of them are very good masters!"

"Could it be another group of horse thieves who have come to join those guys before?" Zhang Hong said nervously.

"Not quite like horse thieves, their shoe prints are clearly textured and not much worn, not like people who have been fleeing in the forest for a month. You'd better think about whether or not you're going to rush in. Cole took his bow and drew his arrows, rested them lightly on the bowstring, and prepared for battle.

Ji Yijun asked the goblin shaman, "Are there any other forces around here?"

The goblin shaman shook his head.

"Alright then, you can go, I'll talk. By the way, what's your name?" asked Ji Yijun.

"Name, my name is Zuka, Moss. Moss is the name of our tribe. The goblin shaman replied.

"Strange name. Ji Yijun smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Remember, take care of your moss tribe, don't provoke us again." Now you go. ”

Zuka nodded slightly to Ji Yijun and turned to leave.

Ji Yijun looked at his back, and suddenly realized that Cole was drawing a bow in the afterglow. He instantly raised his hand and struck hard. An arrow shot at the goblin was knocked out of the way.

At this time, Hou Ye Zi had already rushed in front of Cole, with the gun in his hand, and shouted, "What are you doing!"

"That's it. Cole put down his bow and arrows, "I don't want to slip through the cracks." ”

Ye Zi glanced back at the goblin shaman, who had fled into the forest and was gone. She glared at Zhang Hong and said, "You made him do this?"

"No, it's not. Zhang Hong looked very confused, "I, I just hired him to track down horse thieves, and I never asked him to kill goblins." ”

"What's going on?" Ye Zi's spear tip approached Cole a little.

"I know!" Ji Yijun patted his head and said, "You were hired by Wang Jiyuan?"

"Not bad. Cole replied, "I suggest you let me go after him and kill the goblin, he has short legs and can't get very far." Otherwise, maybe he will be a problem for you in the future. ”

"It's your trouble, right?" Ye Zi didn't give an inch.

"Goblins only take this mortal vendetta on humans, so it doesn't make a difference whether it's you or me. "Coledao.

"Mortal enemy, just let that goblin go back to his village, and everyone will no longer be hostile. Ye Zi was puzzled.

Cole chuckled, "What do you think Gameiro is doing here? Isn't this a mortal vendetta? I warn you, a goblin shaman is not as simple as you seem, and if he hides and secretly retaliates, you will be in big trouble. ”

"You guys, you're so shameful! The village is full of goblin women and children! Could this also be Wang Jiyuan's order?" Ye Zi had tears rolling in his eyes, not only sympathy, but also a kind of anger of being deceived.

"He's just giving the goblins a reward. A goblin's left ear is worth a silver gun coin, young and old. If we had to think about killing goblins, we mercenaries would have starved to death a long time ago. In my eyes, goblins are only females and cubs, where are women and children. Cole replied disdainfully, and he asked Ji Yijun again: "You are her head, what do you say?"

Ji Yijun took two steps forward and blocked the path of Cole's pursuit: "The life or death of the goblin is none of my business! However, Miss Ye has spoken, you can't get over today." ”

"Okay. Cole let go of the arrows from his bow, "You're all bosses, you have the final say." ”

Ye Zi wiped a handful of tears, and said to Ji Yijun with red eyes: "We can't trust this person anymore, you have to let him go." ”

Ji Yijun shrugged his shoulders and said to Zhang Hong: "Zhang Hong, I don't dare to keep people who have too many secrets. I think you'd better go back with your people first. ”

"Well, that's two different things. Zhang Hong didn't care whether he killed the goblins or not, but whether he killed the horse thief or not was life-threatening, and he hurriedly distinguished for Cole, "What does it have to do with the task of killing goblins and killing horse thieves at the same time? Don't forget, we came to the forest to kill goblins this time, what's wrong with that? You say he is playing tricks on you." But he wasn't obligated to tell us the task he had been given, was he? When he did it, the goblin was useless, wouldn't it affect you looking for the horse thief? I think you two overreacted. Why don't you want to think that with him, we will have a much greater chance of chasing and killing horse thieves?"

"Since you value the lives of goblins so much, I think it's better for you to let me follow. Otherwise, I'll turn around and chase the goblin shaman. According to my means, he can't escape now. Cole played with an arrow with his hand, and that look made Ye Zi want to go up and stab him.

"Whatever, let's go!" Ji Yijun spread his hands, bypassed Cole and Zhang Hong, and jumped down the dirt slope and walked towards the rift. Ye Zi didn't even look at the two of them, and went downhill directly to follow Ji Yijun.

Zhang Hong looked at the two who ran away, slapped his forehead, pointed to Cole's nose and said, "You actually hooked up with Wang Jiyuan behind my back, it's too inauthentic, right?

Cole used the arrow in his hand to pull away Zhang Hong's fingers and sneered: "I'm not your concubine, you don't care who I hook up with." Now there are two paths, either we follow or we go. As long as you promise to kill those two guys, won't your goal be achieved?"

Zhang Hong saw that Ji Yijun and Ye Zi had already walked into the hole, gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "None of them let me worry!
