164. This is definitely not a jungle goblin
The sudden change caused the entire camp to explode in an instant.
The people in their sleep woke up one after another, but Lin Jue, who had been awake, was stunned.
"What's the situation?"
Almost at this moment, the horses that had sunk into their dreams in the distance, as well as the snow wolves, roared one after another, and it seemed that they had also discovered the situation here.
The forest suddenly became lively.
The warning charms lit up white, and the blinding light illuminated the entire forest near the camp.
The bright light made Lin Jue squint his eyes slightly, and many people who had just come out of the tent were also so blinded by the dazzling light that they couldn't open their eyes, and it took a long time to recover.
In the distance, the sound of a fight was heard, and the sound was endless.
Lin Jue's vision began to gradually recover at this time, and he squinted his eyes at the white light reflected in the distance.
I saw that the mercenaries who were on guard nearby were fighting a group of dark-skinned jungle goblins independently.
The people who got out of the tents got busy.
Some of the mercenaries put on their equipment and went to the battlefield to support, while more gathered around the camp and enveloped the entire camp, and the magicians gathered around the fire, drawing their magic wands and making a fighting gesture.
The dwarves put on their armor and ran out of the camp and towards the place where the snow wolves were resting.
Lin Jue looked at the tulip suspiciously, and a wave of doubt rose in his heart.
The tulips, who had been standing by the fire at the beginning, were frowning at the moment.
Her arrows were already on the string, and the mercenaries had woken up to join the battle, but they didn't know what they were thinking when they didn't see her join the battle.
Due to the elves' extreme vigilance, Elrod was almost the first to emerge from the tent, and he looked at the dark-skinned jungle elves in the distance, almost identical to tulips, and did not join the battle, but froze in place.
There were quite a few jungle elves in front of them, and the mercenaries were defeated and retreated, gradually retreating, and finally gathered with the mercenaries who surrounded the camp.
Werther yelled as he commanded the team, and the mercenaries formed a human wall, keeping the tidal jungle elves out.
At this time, the magicians, under the command of Werther, also launched waves of attacks, and magic balls of various colors flew out from the heads of the mercenaries and smashed towards the rear team of the jungle elves.
Fortunately, although the number of jungle elves is extremely large and dense, they are surrounded by the iron walls of the team, and they have never been able to break through the defenses of the mercenaries, break into the camp, and after the attacks of the magicians and the dwarves on the periphery, they will soon collapse.
As the jungle elves retreated, the white glow emitted by the spell on the trunk of the tree dimmed.
Although the enemy was repulsed, but was disturbed by this, people did not have the idea of continuing to rest, and took advantage of this spirit to start cleaning up the battlefield one by one.
Beside him, Werther was frowning, as if he was muttering something softly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Jue asked at Werther.
Werther shook his head and said, "It's just weird." ”
"Strange?"
Witt said: "The first to spot the enemy attack is not the vigilant snow wolf, or the horses, not even the elves, but the mercenaries, before they discover this group of jungle goblins, they didn't react at all, don't you think it's strange?"
Hearing this, Lin Jue thought about it carefully, and it was indeed a little strange as Witt said.
Elves have senses aside, they are much more aware of danger than humans, but not necessarily as animals.
But animals must have a much stronger perception of danger than humans, and there is no reason why humans are indifferent to the danger.
"That's right. Lin Jue asked, "Have you ever seen this dark-skinned jungle goblin before?"
After pondering for a moment, Witt shook his head and said, "The first time I saw it, there are also some jungle goblins in the Berlandon Federation, green skin, blue skin is the most common, and I have also seen red skin, but this dark skin ...... It's not been a day or two since I've been in the Eastern Continent, but it's the first time I've seen a jungle goblin like this. ”
The two talked for a while, but nothing came of it.
The attack tonight was indeed very strange, and Witt inquired about the mercenaries who were keeping vigil tonight, only to get an equally strange message.
They said that this group of jungle goblins appeared so strangely that they appeared here out of thin air, without warning.
It wasn't until the light of the warning charm lit up that the mercenaries noticed the anomaly, according to their words, one second, there was still an empty darkness in front of them, and the next second, a face suddenly appeared in front of them, and that feeling was ...... It's like hell.
Lin Jue heard the news on the side, he felt a burst of hair in his heart, before by the light of the fire, he could barely see a few mercenaries patrolling the night nearby, and he also didn't see any jungle goblins, think about it carefully, they seem to really appear out of thin air, not to mention, even the snow wolf didn't notice that these jungle goblins were approaching, doesn't this feel like hell?
Witt speculated: "Perhaps, the mercenaries who have recently come to the southern forest and lost their traces have also encountered these guys. ”
However, this is only speculation, and no one can be sure if this is the case. The only thing that is certain is that along the way, a large number of mercenaries who disappeared in the southern forests before have also lost their traces, and they have not seen anyone alive or dead.
At this time, Lin Jue suddenly remembered that the change in Tulip and Elrod's expressions before, the change was strikingly similar, very strange, just like ...... Astonished, as if seeing something that shouldn't be here.
The people who know the jungle goblins best, apart from the goblins themselves, I'm afraid only the elves are left.
"Ask them, and you might get an answer. ”
Lin Jue told Tulip about his doubts.
Hearing this, Tulip didn't say a word, was silent for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "I don't remember, I just know that this creature shouldn't appear in the forest." ”
Elrod on the side also said: "I just know that they shouldn't be here, it's an instinctive feeling. But why they can't be here, and what they are, I don't know. ”
The answers of these two people of the elven kingdom were surprisingly similar, and they couldn't get any news from their mouths, Lin Jue sighed, and no longer asked questions.
Throughout the night, except for the attack of the jungle elves, there were no other accidents. But because of the sudden attack, people didn't sleep well that night.
Due to the sudden appearance of the dark-skinned jungle elves, there were some casualties in the team, and the dead were all mercenaries who kept vigil, a total of six people.
According to Witt, they did not die in battle, but were assassinated by a passing enemy.
The rest of the mercenaries, as well as a few dwarves who were skimming the periphery, only suffered a little skin wound, and it took a little time to bandage them, but there was no big problem.
After a little trimming, the team immediately set out for camp.
Although this wave of surprise attacks was not dangerous, it cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.
Among them, Lin Jue is the one most affected by this incident.
When he fell asleep last night, he asked Agnes in a dream what they had encountered today, but what he never expected was that even the dream witch, who usually knew everything, did not know what it was.
Agnes' answer was, "The only thing I know for sure is that this is definitely not a jungle elf. ”
