Chapter 104: Goblin Hunter!
If you can get the adventurous guild to issue a higher-level order, the reward for the task of destroying the goblins will also increase. So, after saying his opinion, Miro's eyes suddenly swirled with the luster of gold coins.
However, the high remuneration will also attract adventurers of higher class ranks, which may also lead to a decrease in the income of the Beast Adventure Party.
However, when Ron's gaze swept the goblin city behind him again, he decided to agree with Miro's opinion rather than say the second half of the analysis.
Because according to the strength of the Beast Adventure Group, it is impossible to eat the goblin city in front of it alone, so it is much better to earn a little less than to annihilate the whole army.
"I agree with Mirรณ. โ
"But I won't follow you back. โ
"Here, I can explore the surrounding area of Goblin City first, and make preliminary preparations for you. โ
"After all, I'm farther away than you can see. โ
Weakly, Ron agreed, but he didn't plan to return to Askatra with the party, but chose to stay, and even slightly mentioned his abilities in order to stay.
"Ron, you're ......"
"Okay, stay safe! We'll be back soon!"
Seeing that Ron wanted to stay alone, Miro opened his mouth to let Ron go with him, but he immediately thought of Ron's ability, and finally chose to let go, and after repeatedly asking Ron to be careful, he left with the rest of the adventure party.
Of course, whether it is Kane the Minotaur, Hogg the Gnoll, or even the Golden Fang the Kobold, they all expressed their willingness to stay with Ron, but they were all rejected by Ron, because Ron actually had other purposes besides exploring the outlines of the Goblin City for the Beast Adventure Party!
............
"Finally gone!"
"It's just the two of us!"
Watching the rest of the Beast Adventure Team leave, Ron tapped Broken Tooth's head and removed the small crossbow from his back, disappearing into the shadows of the grass, and in the low whimpering howl, Broken Tooth's figure followed Ron and disappeared into the shadows.
Ron and Broken Tooth start stealth at the same time!
The hunters of Ron's job value survivability in the wilderness more than the Ranger, and they are masters of survival in the wilderness, accompanying wild beasts, using ingenious traps and sharp bows to take down any suspicious target.
Although the hunter that Ron is working at the moment is incomplete, only has the talent and some skills of the beast department, and does not have the talent of survival and shooting, it is enough to make Ron a killer in the wilderness.
So, staying in a stealthy state, Ron made a circle around the entire goblin city.
The goblins are only half the size of humans, slightly larger than halflings, and have lived a long time in the wild, so that the goblins have no habit of building houses, even if it is the goblin city in front of them at the moment.
The logs on which the fence was built were of uneven size, the watchtowers used for reconnaissance were crooked, and the two gates for entry and exit were held by ropes tangled in rough bark, and were now lying across the murky moat.
Through the gates, Ron could see that it was not animal power or mechanisms that were used to pull the gates up, but two columns of hundreds of emaciated goblins.
At the same time, next to the goblins who pulled up the city gate, a fat goblin could be seen waving a whip in his hand, which was also twisted with bark, but slightly delicate, and shouted in the goblin language.
"Interesting!"
"There is already a rudimentary form of a slave society!"
The Goblin City is an irregular circle, with an overall circumference of about four kilometers, equivalent to the size of four high schools with a playground in Ron's memory, and the two gates are located on the south and north sides of the city, looking through the gates, Ron can see that in the middle of the Goblin City is a neat building made of gray and white rocks, which is in stark contrast to the dilapidated shacks and crypts next to it.
However, the goblins in the city have clearly not yet developed a full-fledged agriculture, and Ron can see teams of goblins stepping out of the rough wooden row gates, led by their respective captains, to the nearby wilderness to pick wild fruits and hunt wild beasts, and then bring them back to the city to meet the daily needs of the ruling class and himself.
And this is the opportunity that Ron is looking for, the opportunity to obtain the essence of life!
The hunt begins!
............
"Meow!"
"Take!"
Following behind the goblin pickers, Ron descended into the wild forest, keeping an eye on one of the goblin pickers whenever they dispersed, and then sent Broken Fang to attack while shooting tiny crossbow arrows into the goblins' heads.
Ron was careful to shoot at hidden parts with each shot, either obscured by sparse hair, or pierced through his ears, and he also had his broken teeth deliberately bite at some deadly parts to create the illusion of being attacked and killed by beasts, in order to reduce the goblins' vigilance. After all, in the wilderness, goblins are at the bottom of the food chain, and it is normal to be hunted by beasts.
Also, Ron never shoots more than one goblin in a single picking team.
"Shoot the goblins, +5 Life Essence."
Obviously, the goblin patrol also belongs to the strong individuals in the goblins, and the life essence obtained by shooting the goblin patrol is much more than the life essence obtained by shooting the goblin picking team, but there are many of the picking team, from the departure of the adventure party companions, to the moment when the sky is about to darken, Ron has shot nearly a hundred goblins, and advanced the green bar of the life essence to one-half.
"Shoot the goblins, +5 Life Essence."
After shooting the goblins once more and having Broken Tooth forge the scene, Ron returned to the location where the party had scouted the goblin city and built a simple nest in the grass.
"Miro, they shouldn't be able to come back today!"
He took out the meat strip from the small dimensional pouch at his waist and fed one to the broken tooth before Ron took the second strip and nibbled on it.
The means of transportation in the Feron continent are mainly animal power, and different kinds of livestock are used in different parts of the continent, mainly horses, cattle and sheep, giant lizards and ground birds, and the plants of the Toriel world have strong vitality, once a field is abandoned for reclamation, it will return to the state of wild forests in three to five years.
Therefore, city to city and country to country, apart from maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of the area around the main road, there is nothing that can be done beyond the area of the main road more than one kilometer.
From the location of the Goblin City discovered, the rest of the group had to trek several kilometers through the grassy wilderness to return to the main road and catch a carriage back to Ascotra, and the thirty kilometers of transport pulled by animal power was nearly half a day's journey.
From this, Ron deduced that Milo and the others would definitely not be able to return tonight!
But that's exactly what Ron wants.
"Spend the night in the wilderness first!"
"Hunt again tomorrow morning!"
"When the adventuring group comes back, it's not so obvious to grab people's heads!"
