The lone goblin was very easy to deal with, it wanted to resist with a short spear, Ye Zi knocked it lightly, and beat it down, Shi Hao and Li Tianrui pounced, divided it by two with three strikes, and tied it into a dumpling with a safety rope.

"What kind of monster is this, it really stinks. Ye Zi pinched her nose and took a few steps back, just after two confrontations, the rancid smell on the goblin made her choke enough, she covered her mouth and asked in a muffled voice, "I grabbed a stinky thing, what should I do?"

Zhang Sicheng and Shi Hao glanced at each other, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

"There is such a new species. Professor Lin Youping leaned over and took a closer look, and was amazed, he took out the camera he was carrying, and with a click, the goblin screamed in fright, and he sighed: "If this is on the earth, with this little thing, I can slaughter the edition of Nature magazine." Hey, I don't think I might as well take it back and study it, right?"

"Teacher, our major is botany, and besides, this thing is so dirty, it won't spread any diseases, right?" Zhao Rui reminded on the side.

Lin Youping said: "Young people don't be so cautious, when you reach my age, you will know some things, you can't count on being careful, relying on fate." Besides, we need to study the body structure of the goblins so that we can better fight them. ”

At this time, Ye Zi raised his hand and whispered: "Teacher Lin, I don't think you need to study, just use this gun and poke its head...... Poof, it's solved. ”

"Ahem. Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing, pulled Awad and asked, "Tell us what's going on with the goblins?"

Awad was furious, and he kept staring at the goblins and cursed quietly, "The goblins are here again, they are all thieves, robbers, and devils! Damn, it's all damn thing. God will punish them, God will let them destroy!"

Xiao Chen patted him, and he woke up: "Master, master, I'...... I hate these bastards so much. In the early years, when I was a child, four members of my family died at their hands. Goblins are more hateful to the old people around here than the Imperials. ”

Xiao Chen asked him carefully, only to know that more than thirty years ago, there were several goblin tribes living around the mountains and forests here, often looting the surrounding villages and towns, these goblins looked very weak, but there were many of them, and ordinary villages and towns couldn't resist them at all. They have caused a lot of damage to the local people. At that time, the king and the nobles were busy fighting the war with their northern neighbor, the Purple Eagle Empire, which had lasted for hundreds of years, and no one cared about these troublemakers. It wasn't until the war with the Empire ended that the Iberian Kingdom had the energy to encircle and suppress the goblins. At that time, the army of a hundred battles entered the forest and killed the goblins almost extinct, and for nearly twenty years, everyone never saw a goblin again. Unexpectedly, now there is another one here, which means that there is very likely to be a migrating goblin tribe nearby.

"In my opinion, we need to get back to the camp and report this to the committee as soon as possible. Zhang Sicheng listened to Xiao Chen's translation and immediately said.

"But we don't know anything about it. I don't even know where the goblin tribe is or how many goblins there are, so what's the use of warning the school about such a situation?" Ye Zi asked.

"Then what do you say?" Shi Hao asked rhetorically.

"We should at least go and find out the situation first, so that we know the basic situation of this tribe, otherwise the school will still have to send someone, and it may be too late by then." Besides, our expedition team is originally a strong soldier, and we don't need a few people to detect the enemy, just me and you are enough. Ye Zi said confidently.

"It's a bit risky, we're unprepared after all. Zhang Sicheng still doesn't agree with this idea.

But at this time, Xiao Chen agreed: "I think what Xiao Ye said is still necessary, if we can know ourselves and the other in advance, even if there is a conflict, we have a better chance of winning." Today, we also happened to collide with goblins, and they probably didn't know about our existence. If we wait until they are prepared, it will be difficult for us to detect them. But if you want to go, you'll have to count me in. The others didn't know that Xiao Chen's confidence came from the scroll in his pocket.

Zhang Sicheng pondered Xiao Chen's words and felt that it made sense, and finally decided: "If you really want to go, I will lead the team, Ye Zi and Xiao Chen will go with me with this goblin." Shi Hao and Li Tianrui protected Professor Lin and Xiao Zhao, and were led by the guide, and returned the same way, we met on the hillside where we could see the school, and if we didn't come back at four o'clock in the afternoon, you went straight back to the school. ”

Shi Hao obviously disagreed with this arrangement, but Zhang Sicheng persuaded him: "Several of us have good physical fitness, even if there is danger, it is always okay to escape." Professor Lin's burden is heavier, so they will be handed over to you for protection. ”

"Xiao Zhang, remember, no matter what situation you encounter, don't fight hard, retreat when you should retreat, and leave when you should go, after all, there is a school behind you. Professor Lin instructed when they parted.

————————————————————————

"You take us to your tribe, or die. Xiao Chen's face showed a fierce light, took Zhang Sicheng's dogleg knife, and said while gesturing at the goblin's neck. Awad tells him that the goblins, though stupid, can still have a simple conversation.

The goblin seemed to be so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and he looked at the knife with crooked eyes, shivering. Xiao Chen put the knife against its neck again, and said sharply: "Understand, just nod, otherwise, you will die!"

This time, the goblin was hurt by the knife, and nodded in a trembling voice.

"It seems to be done. Zhang Sicheng picked up the goblin from the ground, held it in his hand with a rope, picked up its original wooden short spear, poked it in the back a few times, and shouted in a non-standard local dialect: "Go!"

This time, Xiao Chen walked a few times, and he was much more careful than before, and everyone looked around cautiously as they walked, in case there were other goblins suddenly rushing out. However, after walking for nearly half an hour, I didn't see any other goblins. The goblin who led the way was also honest, and he didn't need Xiao Chen's urging, so he walked forward hard, and the three of them and one goblin walked into the depths of the forest.

After walking for a while, Ye Zi also relaxed a little, she followed Xiao Chen's side, and asked in a low voice: "Senior, I can't see that you are very fierce in launching Weilai, just like that, you really look like the villain in the movie, that is...... Hee-hee. ”

"What's it?" Xiao Chen felt that his face was still tense, he was not used to this gesture just now, and he always felt that something was wrong, but because of the language barrier, other people couldn't do this job.

"It's your thin arms and legs, at most like a dog-headed military advisor, you don't look like a black boss. Ye Zi said with a smile.

"Huh. Xiao Chen was also amused, he looked at this girl with some appreciation, and found that her nerves were really not ordinarily strong. Obviously it was in danger and the atmosphere was tense, but she could still laugh.

"Shhhh

Ye Zi stuck out his tongue and asked Xiao Chen in a slightly smaller voice, "If it didn't react just now, would you really kill it?"

Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, it seems that they are also intelligent creatures, and killing them doesn't feel much different from killing them." I'm not an executioner, so it's so easy to get under the knife. ”

"That's right, but Awad says they're all demons and can't be seen as human beings. ”

"What we know about goblins comes from Awad, and we don't see it with our own eyes, so we can't trust it all. ”

"You can't trust Awad?" Ye Ziqi said, "When you recommended him at the time, you said that he was honest and reliable. ”

His story may be true, but people are always biased, especially since he has a deep vendetta against goblins. If other goblins can be as obedient and cooperative as this one, why do they have to fight and kill?"

Xiao Chen and the others walked deeper and deeper, higher and higher, and gradually the sun began to turn west, and the sky slowly darkened. Zhang Sicheng looked at the watch a few times, and finally stopped, "We can't go any deeper, we have walked about four kilometers all the way to the north, and if we go further, we won't have time to meet Shi Hao and them." ”

Xiao Chen walked up to the goblin and asked it with a cold face, "Tribe, how far is it?"

It looked scared and docile. After talking about it with a gesture, Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "It said that the tribe's camp is on the other side of this mountain, and it is almost there." ”

After the three of them discussed, they were not willing to give up halfway, but they were still ready to go up again, and they should be able to see the other side of the mountain when they turned over the mountain. Even if you can't figure out the situation from a close distance, you can at least observe the goblin camp from a distance.

They picked up speed and walked for almost half an hour, finally climbing the ridge of this mountain range. Xiao Chen walked in front, he braved the mountain wind, picked up the dense grass and looked at the valley below the mountain, only to see that the valley at this time had no sunlight, showing a blue-gray cold. There was nothing to be seen in the valley except for the dense forests and the mountains beyond.

There are no camps and no campfires.

"Damn, we're fooled. There are no tribes in the valley at all. Xiao Chen said angrily, he was about to grab the goblin to settle the account, but he saw that the goblin had already run to the edge of the mountain top while a few people were looking at the valley. Seeing Xiao Chen rushing towards him with anger, the goblin grinned at him with an ugly mouth, and said in a strange tone: "Stupid." Then he rolled forward, and he fell down the hill. Zhang Sicheng didn't react for a while, and came out holding the goblin's rope. The goblins are small, and after rolling around a few times, they are obscured by the trees and are nowhere to be seen. Seeing this, Ye Zi wanted to chase down the hillside, but was stopped by Xiao Chen, "It's too steep, don't go down, forget it." ”

Zhang Sicheng took off his bow, but he had no goal, and said in a rough voice: "Awad also said that the goblins are stupid, and the three of us have been tricked by it for an afternoon." ”

"I'll just say that goblins are also intelligent creatures, you see this guy, witty and brave, dare to mock me for being stupid, and dare to lead us down the wrong path. Xiao Chen patted his forehead and sighed, "It's just the second little king among the goblins!"

Several people had to hurry up and return the same way, striving to meet Shi Hao and the others at the scheduled time. However, just about a kilometer before the meeting point, several gunshots suddenly rang out in the mountain forest.

"Oops, it must be Shi Hao and they are in trouble. Xiao Chen rushed up, and the other two followed. But the gunfire didn't last long, and after a dozen shots, there was no sound......
