Chapter 15: The Wheat Field is Strange
Suddenly five or six figures emerged from the weeds.
Tang Ruiyi rubbed his eyes, what kind of thing is this? If the ugliness of goblins is within the scope of biology, and it can barely be understood, the few guys in front of him are simply ugly in the sky.
With a long hooked nose, a tumor-like head, and a-green creeping skull, it's exactly what a Harry Potter goblin looks like, but, man, you're not going to be drinking a fake bar!
From a distance, they looked like dwarfs at the foot of a slope, and when they got closer, they realized that they all had a black and purple chain tied to their feet.
It turned out to be the forest goblins of the Silver Oak Forest?
Tang Ruiyi never imagined that he would meet them here, so he was surprised.
"*%%¥*......%%¥##¥......" Several goblins chattered a lot of words, but because of the language barrier, they couldn't understand a word, and both sides could only stare at each other.
This was a bit tricky, and he remembered that the system came with a language he could understand, so he spent a gold coin to enable this feature.
"Who are you?" he said, his words automatically translated into goblin slang with strange accents.
A group of goblins immediately gathered around in excitement, but were quickly stopped by the infantry: "Human chief, please save us! ”
Tang Ruiyi waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be anxious, "Where is your chief?" Let me see first. Then he turned back and whispered, "Go and call Sakava?"
"Hmm. ”
A hunchbacked goblin carefully took out a lotus leaf-like thing from his bosom, and opened it to reveal a palm-sized green fluorescent transparent figure, if it weren't for the constant undulation of the villain's chest, he really thought it was a piece of Xizhilang jelly.
"This is your chief?" Tang Ruiyi opened his eyes to see that goblins were really a strange race.
"No, it's just embryos. From afar, Savaka came over with her wand in hand, "Or to put it another way, it's the elblin's secret method of saving their lives!"
"What kind of wicked sorcerer are you!" the goblins seemed very excited at the sight of Savaka, and they all looked indignant.
The wizard sneered, chanting the spell of Azul's lightning spell, and a thunderbolt appeared out of thin air and shot at the goblin, but a magic ball sprang out diagonally and collided with the thunder, and the two disappeared and nothingness.
"What the hell is going on?"
It was Tang Ruiyi who made the move, and he glared fiercely at the wizard, who gracefully stepped back and spread his hands slightly to show his innocence.
"You don't need to say it, here you are! Savaka, you've been in a bad state lately! I hope you can keep your emotions in check, or I wouldn't mind changing to a wizard. ”
The reprimanded Savaka's eyes flickered, and he didn't say a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
The trembling elves hesitated to look at the wizard before revealing the truth that their refusal to support the Silver Oak Forest had angered the forest elves last time, and they were ready to retaliate.
But because they defeated the intruder last time, and at the same time relieved the pressure of the Silver Oak Forest, the elves still planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight after some debate, but at this moment, their chief was suddenly seriously injured by the mysterious man's magic, and the elves were indignant, and looked at Savaka with eyes eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
In fact, this is also related to the unique way of thinking of goblins, they have always believed in the principle of "rather live a happy life like an emperor, than live a lifetime", and are greedy and selfish to anyone, but the chief is an exception, in the goblin society, the chief has an extremely high status, and will carry out all the orders of the chief like a god, even if they commit suicide, they have no complaints, so every goblin's lifelong dream is to become a chief.
"Did you see Savakar attack your chieftain with your own eyes?" Tang Ruiyi asked slowly.
"Not really, but who else but a human wizard would have evil magic?"
This sentence was like a fuse, which instantly ignited the tense atmosphere, and seeing that it was another bloody conflict, at this time the sound was like a mosquito and fly into the ears of everyone:
"Like...... There's also a guy who can also do dark magic......"
It was a slightly young goblin who spoke (in the eyes of humans, goblins look the same).
"Hey, what are you talking about, it must have been done by evil and despicable humans. ”
"No, I'm not talking nonsense, have you forgotten? ”
"You mean ......"
"What's your name?" Seeing that there was a disagreement within the goblin, Tang Ruiyi asked with interest.
"Back to the Human Chief, my name is Dong Dong Long. Dong Donglong stood up, its size was short among the goblins, and its hair was as close as Tang Ruiyi's knees.
"What is that thing you're talking about?"
Dong Donglong hesitated for a moment, and began to recount a past story:
Legend has it that there are two mysterious places to the west of the Silver Oak Forest, where two terrible man-eating monsters, "Pa La Bang" and "Thunderbolt", are inhabited, and they ask the elves to sacrifice ten companions as sacrifices every year, or they will go on a killing spree.
Just a few hundred years ago, the ancestors of the forest elves were unwilling to be oppressed, so they united the water elves and the atmospheric elves to fight against these two monsters.
The war lasted for more than twenty days, countless powerful people fell and were forced to fall into a deep sleep, thousands of ordinary goblins died, and the prosperous and powerful goblin empire also collapsed.
But their sacrifice was worth it, as Thunderbolt was banished to another dimension, and Snap was sealed under the Shrine of Compassion by the three chiefs who gave their lives, just below the ditch near the wheat field.
But since when, the sealed monsters seem to be showing signs of revival again, as evidenced by the rioting spiders in the forest, and according to ancient records, monsters appear with many visions, one of which is that the earth is corrupted, the rivers are blocked, and countless dark minions swallow everything.
"So, do you think the mystery who attacked your chief had something to do with the Bangla Bump?"
Dong Dong Long nodded.
It also told Tang Ruiyi that if the chieftain hadn't been unconscious, they had already planned to move out of their ancestral home.
Thinking about it carefully, and then thinking of the pollution in the ditch and the tentacle monster in the wheat field, Tang Ruiyi can already be sure that all these eight achievements are secretly troubled.
But hehe, the name of the goblin is really artistic! How can such a terrible monster sound so funny? He silently vomited in his heart.
While he was thinking, the goblins were whispering, and a moment later they came to talk.
"We hope to have a helping hand from our esteemed human friends. ”
He was still evil and despicable just now, but in the blink of an eye, he became a noble friend, and he had to admire the tactfulness of the goblins.
However, the goals and purposes of the two sides coincide, and he will not refuse.
With a clang, the system prompted in his ear: [The campaign has been updated: The Sleeping Mysterious Ancestral Hall. 】
After calling the infantry, Tang Ruiyi was used as the translator, and the result of everyone's discussion was: "Without further ado, set off immediately!"
They first put the badly injured chieftain into the mana pool in the wizard's tower, and kept him alive through his abundant magic.
Because it is a matter of racial safety, the goblins immediately chose the five warriors with the highest martial arts to destroy with us, and what he didn't expect was that Dong Donglong was actually the best person in martial arts, which really responded to the sentence "The mountain is not high, there are immortals and spirits." ”
Taking advantage of the period of recuperation, he secretly used the system to scout, Dong Dong Long is an elite-level archer (a combination of archers and priests, who can have a little healing magic), the other two are assassins and killers respectively, and the other two are ordinary warriors who know a little slings and swordsmanship.
Although the combat power is acceptable, the goblins with backward handicrafts have no decent equipment at all, tattered animal skins and leaves that barely cover important parts, and the old leather armor on Dongdonglong's body is already at the level of an heirloom.
In desperation, he had to ask the dwarves to hurry up and create a few small armors and give them to them, and the goblins who got the new equipment were naturally overjoyed, holding the metal cuirass in their arms and not letting go, for fear of getting flowers.
Seeing them in the posture of Grandma Liu walking around the big garden, everyone's hearts couldn't help but relax, how strong can these monsters that can be defeated?
At most, it's similar to the Goblin Destroyer they defeated before.
The best equipment and weapons were delivered to the assembly point.
Seeing that everyone was almost ready, he suddenly remembered why Tomil had disappeared, and after repeated inquiries, he learned that the boy had never returned, which made his heart even more gloomy.
The ten chosen infantrymen all looked at death as if they were to be at home, and if they failed in this journey, the great kingdom would be feared......
couldn't think about it anymore, Tang Ruiyi shook his head, he only knew that he was carrying a heavy responsibility, so he kept comforting himself that everything would be fine.
This time, because of the elves leading the way, they bypassed the wheat field where the monsters were hidden, and Shenfeng, who was sitting under the tree, had been waiting for a long time, his side was full of all kinds of wood carvings, and the knife was concentrating on carving a crow combing its feathers, no wonder he liked the crafts sent by the villagers, it turned out that he was a master carpenter.
Tang Ruiyi casually picked up a piece of wood carving at his feet, carving a young woman with Zhu between her eyebrows, her demeanor and every detail of her movements are very in place, it is simply vivid and lifelike, as if she wants to come back to life.
Shen Feng glanced at him, put down the half-carved crow in his hand, and silently returned to the team.
The location of the so-called ancestral hall is not too far away, and half an hour later, the group has arrived at the periphery of the destination, which is the place where the "snap touch" is sealed.
After seeing the appearance of this place, everyone was surprised, it turned out that this place was no longer a normal ecological environment, and the forest that should be full of vitality was withered and black at the moment, and the branches extending outward were like ghost claws and shadows, and countless black shadows shrouded in the black curtain and walked through.
This phenomenon strengthened his suspicion, and the seal really had an accident!
As they stepped into the Black Forest, the soil beneath their feet was soft and crispy, like the rotting bones of a human being.
Deep in the Black Forest, they saw a desperately dilapidated ancestral hall with pitch-black vines climbing everywhere and tens of thousands of large spiders around it that made everyone gasp.
"How can this be?" Knock Knock sweated on his forehead and couldn't help but let out a sound.
No one answered him, let alone retreated, Tang Ruiyi took the lead in wielding the crypt weaver into the sea of spiders, for some reason, the strength of these big spiders seemed to be suppressed, far less powerful than they imagined, and some of them were even just empty on the surface.
Savaka slashed to death a spider that was trying to sneak up on him, and he observed it for a moment and said, "These spiders seem to have been spawned to guard the ancestral hall. ”
This makes sense, but despite this, it is still very difficult.
Just when they were close to the range of about 1,000 meters, everyone felt stunned, and then all the strength in their bodies seemed to be taken away, and the swords in their hands almost fell.
"What's going on?"
Dong Donglong gritted his teeth: "The legend is actually true! It is said that the breath of popping is a poison for mortals, and it will gradually erode people's bodies and wills. ”
"Is there any way to get rid of it?" A big spider slurry was cracked with a punch, and Tang Ruiyi hurriedly asked.
"Maybe our chief has something to do, but I really don't know. Dong Dong Long said with a wry smile.
Damn, it's a fantasy to be in such a massive debilitating state to fight so many large spiders!
Just when everyone was helpless, Savaka, who had been silent, spoke: "The concentration of dark magic here is very high, and my magic level has also been greatly improved, and I temporarily release a spell called 'Dark Sky' to cover our breath, maybe I can fool these big spiders." ”
There was no time to dwell on it, he immediately asked the wizard to cast a spell, and the elves, as much as they hated dark magic, were forced to accept it by a larger mission.
Protected in the center, Savaka began to chant intricate incantations, and the dark magic gradually converged to form a transparent black cloth that enveloped everyone.
Having lost the breath of their prey, several large spiders stood in confusion, their little brains completely unable to understand the concept of magic.
Because the duration of the magic is limited, everyone buries their heads and walks quickly, almost hitting the big spider several times along the way, a particularly large boss-level spider felt something, touched the air in front of him suspiciously, and the slender feet brushed Shen Feng's face, making Tang Ruiyi's heart return to his stomach, and Shen Feng was still expressionless, making the five bodies that he admired fall to the ground.
When they approached within a hundred meters of the ancestral hall, except for Dong Donglong, him, Shenfeng, and Savaka, the rest of the people had already begun to have negative reactions, because the infantry's equipment was mixed with some Holy Xuaniron (resistance to weak magic resistance), so the situation was much better, but a few goblins were not good, their eyes were red, the corners of their mouths were drooling, and they looked like they were about to go crazy.
What's even more desperate is that the effectiveness of the dark canopy can only reach here, and there are a large group of elite-level special spiders in front of it!
