Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mission: Wipe Out the Goblins!
"Hey, what do you think I found?"
When Ron rode back to the Five Pots of Wine Inn, the agreed location of the Beast Adventure Party, Ron rode Broken Tooth, the halfling Mirรณ was dancing in front of the other three companions, holding a roll of papyrus in his hand.
However, only the Golden Tooth should be with him, and the Minotaur Shaman Kane was still as gentle as usual, slowly squirming his mouth.
Although not of the same race as cattle, minotaurs also have four stomachs and can regurgitate. The dark and terrifying life of the underground and the strife between the tribesmen had accustomed the minotaurs to eat quickly, and then chew and absorb it carefully when they returned to safety.
As for Hogg the Gnoll, he stared blankly at the flail in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Dangdang, dang!"
"Miro's secret is revealed!"
"The first mission of the Beast Adventure Group is here!"
"Clear the goblins on the left bank of the Qi River, and exchange a pair of goblin ears for a [Fanda]!"
For the Beast Adventure Group, the goblins are not a dangerous opponent, whether it is Kane the Minotaur or Hogg the Gnoll, they are all existences that can sweep away an entire group of goblins by themselves.
However, goblins have a short growth cycle and are very survivable, surviving by eating a little grass root bark, and then quickly re-flooding.
Moreover, when the number of goblin swarms exceeds 100, there is a high chance that a goblin warlock will be born in the goblin swarm, and the goblin swarm that gave birth to a goblin warlock will no longer be called a goblin swarm, but a goblin tribe.
Rank division, primitive army training, beast domestication, building houses, with the goblin warlock led by the goblin warlock, the goblin tribe will gradually develop and become a force to be reckoned with in the wild!
"Can you read it specifically?"
Riding on Broken Tooth, Ron jumped onto the table, picked up the small glass of moonlight wine that Kane had poured for himself, took a small sip, and then said to Miro, who was still excited.
The latter finally turned around from his excitement and spread out the papyrus with the transcription of the task in his hand on the table, revealing the words on it to the rest of the party.
And because of the effect of [fluent language], Ron immediately understood what the above text was trying to express.
"Low-level mission: clear the goblins!"
"Mission content: The trade route from Ascatra to Cremur and Pusu has been attacked by goblins recently, so the Council of Six in Ascatra has issued a task to clear the goblins, and each pair of goblin ears can be exchanged for a [Vanda] at the mission payment office in the city gate area. โ
"This mission will be valid for a long time until the Council of Six issues a cease order!"
The quest on the papyrus is clearly a regional quest and is not released to the Beast Adventure Party individually, but is available to all adventurers throughout Askatla.
And from this mission, Ron was keenly aware of a hint of anomaly.
Goblins are cowardly and intelligent monsters that will not dare to attack their enemies unless they are five to ten times more numerous.
On the banks of the Bhart, the trade routes leading to Kremur and Psu were the main land routes in Askatra, wide and clean, with countless caravans passing daily between Ascatra and other cities.
Although the caravans are large and small, due to the various monsters scattered everywhere on the continent of Feren - gnolls, trolls, etc., basically every caravan will hire adventurers to guard it.
Even if you count it as a five-person adventure group with the most sparse number, plus the members of the caravan, the number of goblin populations that can muster the courage to attack the caravan is at least a hundred.
Moreover, to be able to get the official mission of Ascatra to be released, it is obvious that the situation has reached a certain level, which means that not only one caravan has been attacked, but it is likely to be several, or even dozens!
In this analysis, there are two possibilities for the problems faced by the trade routes on the banks of the Ferra River, the first is the flooding of goblins, and the second is that a powerful goblin tribe was born on the banks of the Ferra River!
The head turned a thousand times, but it was only a moment.
In the blink of an eye, Ron analyzed the result, but when he was about to blurt it out, it got stuck in his throat.
The Beast Adventure Group was initiated by the Miro Organization, isn't it bad to open your mouth like this?
And he also needs a large amount of life essence to improve his level, and if he doesn't go out, how can he get life essence so likely?
However, Ron was not the only smart man in the Beast Adventure Group, and while Ron was hesitating, the Minotaur Shaman Kane had already spoken his opinion in a deep voice, and it was not far from what Ron had thought.
"Miro, the Council of Six has been able to issue a mission, indicating that the number of goblins has grown to the point where it needs to be suppressed by adventurers. โ
"Goblins are weak, but for our own safety, we need to be cautious!"
............
Outside the city of Askatra.
It had been three hours since the Beast Adventure had left Ascatila, and as they got farther and farther away from Ascalla, large tracts of cultivated farmland and populated villages and towns had gradually disappeared, and patches of shrubs and even large areas of wild jungle began to appear in the eyes of everyone, occasionally interspersed with a few small patches of farmland and some sparsely populated small villages.
The trade road has gradually become narrow and rugged, leaving Ascatra to be ten meters wide, and now it has shrunk to five or six meters, while the cold weather condenses the earth and ice, making it more difficult to roll the wheels.
"Thank you!"
"Let's get off here!"
Not many caravans dared to ride the Minotaurs and Gnolls, but after pulling out their adventurer certificates and the badges of the caravan for a long time, the Beast Adventure finally boarded the carriage of the caravan bound for Psu, of course, after paying a fare and promising to help the caravan in the event of a monster attack.
And when the caravan reached a distance of about thirty kilometers from Askatra, the Beast Adventure Group chose to get out of the car.
It's a negotiated safe distance.
The closer you are to the city, the safer it is, and the farther away you are from the city, the more dangers you encounter.
Because within ten kilometers of the city, there will be Ascala's city guards to clear all kinds of monsters, and the distance of ten kilometers to twenty kilometers is the range of activities of solo adventurers.
Once it exceeds thirty kilometers, it can be regarded as entering the range of wild monsters, not only goblins, gnolls, trolls, lizardmen, and even all kinds of ferocious animals will appear, and some of these monsters are simply unable to fight against the beast adventure group at this moment.
"Guys, it's time to get started!"
Jumping off the caravan's wagon, Miro immediately got into working condition and made an immediate discovery.
