Chapter 22: The Flood of Goblins
Eventually, the village doctor and the second group of villagers arrived at dinner time to build a stone altar in a cave at the top of the mound.
On the square gray altar stands a round thick wooden stake, and a column as tall as a child is embossed in the upper half and arranged with five golden five-pointed stars.
The only regret is that the gods did not send down an oracle to inform the priesthood, but only to tell the people to serve the simple "idol" with devotion and recite one of his god names, Marens.
Everything was steadily developing in the new pioneer village built next to the mound, and after half a month of construction, a rough and sturdy wooden fence was erected by the men. The fence clinging to the mound settlement is covered with a native perennial vine, a sturdy vine with black-brown spikes commonly known as the "black sheep's horn", which hangs from the fence wall like a natural barbed wire.
At Hathaway's request, Lin Ze also drove a herd of wild boars to dig a puddle around the area overnight to prepare for the upcoming winter beast tide.
The village was still in full swing preparing for winter, while Lin Ze was happily fishing at the downstream seaport.
The black figure was negligent in the sea, and Long Wei, who was faintly dispersed, kept driving the fish towards the underground waterway on the cliff wall.
Lin Ze had recently discovered that the mutant duckweed he had planted in the underground waterways seemed to have undergone changes that he didn't know about — fishing had previously been a passive instinct, but after several years of development, these versatile duckweeds were able to keep some of the fish they caught in captivity at the top of the underground waterways, in front of an exit from Lin Ze's dragon's nest.
Now Lin Ze doesn't know what this means, if there is a mage or druid who is proficient in botany, he will find that this plant with simple intelligence is not recorded in any classics at all, and it is a huge fortune to trade with those mages in the wizard tower casually.
It's a pity that Lin Ze doesn't know anything about these things at all, if he does...... Now he sincerely hoped that this aquatic plant born from him could grow even more advanced, so advanced that one day he could complete some trivial and mundane tasks that he was too lazy to do in his place, like those personal butlers of the nobility.
"Buzz ......"
A series of dull sounds suddenly sounded in the turquoise water, and the big-headed fish closest to Lin Ze slammed into the black dragon as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, and Lin Ze's stomach acid came to a jade stone. This fish is not just an exception, the silver fish are completely scattered the moment they hear the strange hum, and the neat silver fish are rushing around like crazy, and many of them even rush straight to Lin Ze without fear of death.
The rhythm of the humming sound changed, and the short, high-pitched chirping replaced the original humming sound, and when the sound was heard, the sea fish spontaneously formed a mighty "fish stream" and swam towards the shore. Seeing this scene, Lin Ze naturally understood that this was someone fishing artificially, just like the sonar fish traps equipped with some ocean-going fishing boats on the earth, this strange sound obviously had the same effect.
However, this behavior of catching fish in the dragon's mouth angered Lin Ze in the sea.
Lin Ze is located in a typical fish barrier area, where the cold and warm currents that meet not only bring a large amount of planktonic bait, but also the turbulent ocean currents also form a fish barrier layer that demarcates the fish activity area, and a large number of marine fish gather here, which is a natural fishing ground. Due to its proximity to the underground exit of the Dragon's Lair, this place was also painted by him as his domain by default.
Lin Ze, who thought he was more capable of fighting, was naturally unwilling to resentment such a provocative act. The slender and powerful dragon's tail slapped the water fiercely, and the black dragon swam with the fish in the direction where the sound came.
"Aha, what did I see?" Lin Ze quickly popped up in the seawater, and after a quick glance, he saw a lot of useful things—there was a group of dirty, smelly dwarf goblins on the shore.
The diminutive creatures dug a shallow pit on one side of the shore, and a goblin with the apparent appearance of a leader was standing behind the pit with a strange alchemical artifact, and the sound that drove the fish mad came from it.
"I don't know if this alchemy item is their lost ancient technology or if it was found from one of the unlucky shipwrecks. Lin Ze watched the group of dwarf goblins slaughtering fish and handling internal organs around the shallow pit in an orderly manner under the water, and couldn't help but wonder, such a group of goblins who seemed to be very organized and dispatched obviously had their own relatively complete ruling class.
However, even if there is a complete tribal organization behind this group of goblins, they can't organize Lin Ze to pounce on it and snatch that alchemy prop now!
After confirming that there was nothing around him that exceeded the upper limit of his strength, Lin Ze directly pushed the sea water to rush out from the sea.
A deafening roar, a thread-like corrosive breath streaked a rancid trail of death along the shoreline on the sand. The intoxicating fragrance of the breath reacts with flesh and blood to produce a strong, rancid smell that makes people gause.
The only dozen or so remaining goblins were rushed by Long Wei, and they were instantly crushed in a chaotic manner, and the goblin leader who carried the alchemy props shouted and cut his throat without looking back, just ran towards the depths of the land.
"Shorty, hand over the alchemy props in your hands!" The black dragon smashed to the ground with a roar, and the goblins on the fish pile were instantly shaken to the ground by the impact of Lin Ze's huge weight.
"Where did you get this thing from?" A finger claw pressed the goblin, Lin Ze played with the alchemy props that had just arrived, the toothpick-like operation feel, and there would be a dim magic energy crystal at the bottom of the gadget to provide the energy for this thing to operate. "Surprisingly exquisite, isn't this the product of your goblins?"
Lin Ze stuffed the alchemy props into the storage props he had snatched from the Harpist Alliance, and the jade-colored rot aura continued to impact the goblins, and the chaotic and distorted power stirred the goblins' consciousness extremely roughly, and in less than a moment, the black dragon got what he wanted.
As expected, this thing is what the goblin tribe picked up from a shipwrecked ship on the beach a few years ago, this goblin who failed to run away is still one of the few goblin alchemists in the tribe, so he came here to collect enough food from the ocean to prepare for the coming bitter winter, but they are obviously not very lucky, the first time they came here, they met the black dragon who watched the field and wiped out directly.
Too lazy to chase after the group of filthy goblins who scattered in a hurry, Lin Ze happily returned to the dragon's lair from the underground passage with his first trophy,
INTERVIEWER From now on, I will be able to enjoy eating fish for a little bit.
Lin Ze, who returned in a hurry, gained a lot, but the impression he brought by snatching the fish lure alchemy props did not end there. A few days later, all the creatures living in the Southern Leafy Forest knew one thing, a group of goblins near the hills of death...... Lose your marbles!
The mad goblins rushed out of the cobweb-like underground lair, the rough benzene bear goblins in improvised armor, the goblin alchemist riding the crippled ogre, and some of the commanding class also rushed from the lair to the villages, towns, and elf villages around the South Lancer Forest with their dicks like the dirty little ones, and even the lair of some rampaging creatures was constantly harassed by this gang. (PS: I had a little cold last night, and I committed rhinitis, and I couldn't get out in the morning in the second chapter, so I guess I have to wait until about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, I'm sorry.) )
