Chapter 380: Snow Goblins
There is a case!
As an elite member of the Snow Eagle Knights with the rank of lieutenant colonel, Tavlear's reaction can be said to be quite fast.
As soon as he found out about the situation, Tavlear gently picked up the saber at his waist, pressed his right hand on the hilt, and changed from a sitting position to a squatting position. When the time comes, you can immediately rush to the open space and draw your sword to control the little thing. Lawson's reaction was a little slower, but he also followed Tavlear and prepared to attack.
The two exchanged glances again, and Tavlear made a few sign language gestures to Lawson, which meant the words "monster", "low threat", and "standby", and Lawson quickly understood what Tavlear meant.
The light at night was not good, but the two of them could still spot the small figure moving in the clearing over there.
Tavlear made a gesture of "I'll go first, you standby", and then slowly, took a deep breath, and at the moment when he adjusted his physical state to the best, he suddenly burst out and rushed to the clearing!
At the same time, on the way to the breakthrough, he also drew his saber and stabbed it.
With the light of the fighting spirit that ran on the sword, Tavlear saw the thing clearly.
A strange-looking humanoid creature was about the height of a seven-year-old human child, but with thick limbs, a much smaller head and gray skin, which was a good protective color if it was in the snow. Tavlear instantly knew the identity of the thing in front of him.
Snow goblins.
This little thing belongs to the category of monster goblins, but it is far less intelligent than ordinary goblins. Although it is short in stature, the combat power of this thing is not weak at all, just take the one in front of you, against a silver-level adventurer, it can still fight equally.
Snow elfs, as the name suggests, mainly haunt cold regions, and legend has it that they have their own social system, and can hunt large monsters or humans in groups, but the people who actually witness them are still a few.
There have also been sightings of snow goblins on this road, and this is the first time they have been seen stealing human things.
Although with Tavlear's strength, it is still easy to kill this snow goblin, but a monster like a snow goblin is not a lone monster!
In other words, if you find a snow goblin, you will face their entire group! And a snow goblin group often has hundreds of goblins!
And among the hundreds of goblins, miscellaneous goblins like this account for only eighty percent at most. The remaining 20% are the strongest of the snow goblins! Among these goblin powerhouses, there are unusually strong warriors, wizards who can use strange magic, and even animal tamers who can tame other monsters!
With these dozen or so members of the Snow Castle Investigation Group, it is almost a group of snow goblins who are looking for death!
However, Tavlear didn't have time to think about it, but as fast as he could, he used the blade in his hand to cut off the head of the snow goblin who had not yet reacted, and then kicked the rest of his body away, and shook off a cloud of snow with his fighting spirit, burying it.
"Rosen, hurry up and call them up, we will retreat one after another!" Tavlear immediately made a decision and gave the order to retreat.
Because he didn't know if this goblin was a scattered little thing, or a scout sent by a tribe. And he didn't know if the leader of that group or other powerful people could sense the death of this snow goblin.
Even if the snow goblin was buried with snow, the smell of blood would have spread long ago. If there is a trainer in the snow goblin who has a keen sense of smell......
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't calm down.
The above inferences are always just hypotheses, but as an investigative team, Tavlear would never dare to gamble with the lives of a group of people and the tasks entrusted by the Duke of Snow Castle!
While Rosen was calling, Tavlear began to whistle to soothe the frightened horses, and then glanced at the open space where the supplies were stored.
The bag of hard bread had been opened, and the snow goblin was probably just trying to steal a few loaves of bread. But it would be a mistake to think of them as harmless creatures.
After all, they are monsters, or monsters that can't communicate without intelligence, in their understanding, there is no reason to accept what they see, once they find something that can be plundered, then they will pour out of the nest and take it all away. Even humans are just moving pieces of meat!
"Everyone, take your stuff and go!" Tavlear said as he moved his supplies to his horse and to the team members who had woken up from their sleep but were the first to recognize what was going on.
Those team members also adjusted their state as soon as possible and began to dismantle the tent.
The situation wasn't so bad that they couldn't even take the tent with them, at least, they didn't notice a large herd of snow goblins nearby. If they don't take their tent luggage with them, they may not be able to return to the snow castle safely in this temperature, even if they retreat successfully, without warm equipment.
"Su Wen, what kind of monster is over there, groups of ......" Ellie stood on a rock, looked down the mountain, and said suddenly.
Su Wen followed the direction of Ellie's eyes, then opened the map, looked at it, and said, "I don't know, but there are quite a lot of them, there are always one or two hundred, right?"
“...... Are they moving in one direction?"
"Yes. ”
“......”
“......”
The two of them looked at each other, clearly aware of what was over there.
"What are we going to do? Are we going back to save them?"
The reason why I said that I was returning, it was because Su Wen and Ellie were already standing on the top of the mountain on the edge of the no-man's land, and as long as they took one step further, they could step into the no-man's land.
"It's too far. Su Wen shook his head: "That guy from Rosen can't die, what's more, didn't those people in the investigation team start to retreat?"
“...... But with the speed of those monsters, they can't seem to run away......"
"It's okay, I'll just wake Mia up and ask her to help, right?"
"............" Ellie was silent, her suspicious little eyes staring at Su Wen tightly. Ellie would have been relieved if it was Yumi or Haza who had come with them, but it was Greenfield, Barrot, and Mia who were still sleeping in the camp!
One is a gold-level Snow Eagle Knights scout, one is a gold-level genius magician, and the other is a girl who has this inheritance but doesn't look very powerful......
"Look at what I'm doing, why don't you hurry up and clean up the monsters in front of you, it's not like they can't complete the task?"
"Yes, yes, you're right. ”
Ellie nodded, reluctantly compromised, and jumped down the mountain first. Even if you don't spread your wings, you can land smoothly on the ground with your jumping power and body skills......
Oh no, Ellie had apparently ignored the wind blowing towards the mountain, and her intended route was a little off the beaten track under the high winds.
"So think about things carefully. Su Wen threw out a magic chain, tied Ellie, and pulled her back.
"What if someone dies again?"
"No, it won't. Su Wen was confident, but he didn't intend to explain the situation to Ellie.
"You don't say it!!It's so annoying, your character!!" Ellie gritted her teeth, broke the chains, and stared at Su Wen.
"Oh yes?" Su Wen looked a little surprised, asked rhetorically, then thought about it, and then said, "Then let's talk while walking......
Ellie felt a little that Su Wen probably really didn't know that her behavior was a headache......
