Chapter 111: The Kobold Leader
Little Fatuna fiddled with the 'Blood Man Flower' in front of her, which was the first time she had seen it, so she sniffed it with her nose for a while.
The little half-elf girl began to sense, so she led the way, while Loki protected the Dharma on the side.
Walking or stopping, little Fatuna didn't need to look up carefully, but she could find a lot of trees with 'blood man' flowers.
No wonder Loki wants her to become a druid apprentice, the little girl has an unusual talent for plants, and can also feel the properties of plants, which is much stronger than Loki, who only has a half-finished quantum biocomputer.
There were no goblins or other creatures around, and because Loki's movements were hidden, he didn't make much noise when he climbed up and down.
Collecting the 'Blood Man Flower' is quite smooth, as long as you are careful of some poisonous insects or red fierce birds, in a few hours, you can quickly collect a small half of the backpack, which can be exchanged for hundreds of silver coins.
Risk-takers with good luck are indeed not slow to gain benefits
Little Fatuna was not idle, poking her head under the tree and helping to keep an eye on her surroundings, her adventurous support work was so satisfying.
At this time, Loki climbed on the trunk of the tree, and noticed a commotion in the trees in the distance, and from above, there were more than a dozen red fierce birds, attacking some animal on the ground.
Accompanied by the rapid bird cry of 'quack~quack', there was also a strange shout, as if some kind of language was calling for companions to come over and help.
The goblin was obviously not a beast that caused the attack of the ferocious birds, but the goblins of the Burning Wood Forest?
This filthy, small, humanoid creature usually speaks goblin language. The ears are large, ugly and cruel, and will eat anything that can be eaten, including humans. They don't live long, but they reproduce very quickly, and the town of Senjin is often harassed by goblins.
And in this damp dense forest, it is not surprising to find the figure of a goblin.
Goblins live in groups, but they have little guts, and sure enough, the sound wave hearing can tell that some goblins have begun to flee in the wilderness, and the direction of running is here.
Loki quickly climbed down, reached a height of about four meters, directly let go of his hands and feet, and jumped to the ground with his legs slightly bent, while a side roll slowed down the impact of the fall.
The little girl beckoned from behind the tree, and Loki ran over, unwound the crossbow, and handed it to her.
This is a good opportunity for actual combat training, little Fatuna has not shot any living creatures with a crossbow, it happens to be a goblin kind, even human children eat chaotic creatures, even the druids will not pity them.
A half-humanoid humanoid resembling a goblin in size but distinctly not of the same species emerged from the bushes.
It is about the size of a goblin, but it has reddish-brown skin and a protruding long mouth under two dim yellow eyes, which is a bit of a canine character.
This is, kobolds?
Loki hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but he had seen illustrations in the wizard's Plants and Monsters Illustrated Chapter, and he had heard some adventurers mention kobold traits.
Little Fatuna opened one eye and tried to aim, pulling the bracket, but the crossbow didn't hit, grazing the kobold's head and shooting into the bushes behind.
The kobold was suddenly attacked, and let out a startled scream similar to a 'dog barking'.
Can't let it go, in the quest bar of the Adventure Guild, the Kobold's scalp is also a long-term bounty task, and the reward is only slightly inferior to Goblin Ears.
Three can be exchanged for more than one silver coin, which is all walking money.
Drawing the long-bladed large hunting knife, Loki shook, and with a flick of his arm, the hunting knife was mistaken as a heavy throwing knife, and it was projected out like a whizz.
The blade pierced the neck, and the kobold's screams came to an abrupt end.
But a few red fierce birds with sharp beaks fell from the sky, and began to divert their attack targets, flying towards Loki.
With the trunk and canopy of the tree being the most covered, it didn't take long for Loki to pick up the mountain opener and solve the three or five fierce red birds.
The threat next to it was gone, but there was a chaotic sound in the nearby Burning Wood Forest.
Loki quietly stepped forward to check, and little Fatuna's fart worm naturally wouldn't fall, covering her mouth on the side, looking at it in surprise.
The two hid behind unobtrusive bushes.
I saw the kobold, who had just been chased away by the red bird, let out a barking scream.
This burst of screams called out many companions around them, dozens of kobolds of different sizes, and began to occupy the numerical advantage.
The kobold began to use the rope to throw stones to shoot down a number of red birds, but the red birds did not know how to retreat, and the two groups of creatures fought in confusion.
There are a lot of kobolds, and even if you want to pick up the leak, you must be prepared to be injured and besieged.
Loki suddenly noticed that behind the kobold, an elderly kobold with a white beard holding a black staff appeared in a cluster.
This strange kobold, with all kinds of intricate bone ornaments hanging on his body, and even the other claw, also holding the skull of a humanoid creature, Bai Sensen's is somewhat like a baby's skull.
The kobold shook the skull in his hand, muttering an incomprehensible incantation, no less strange than that of an evil witch.
Then, where the skull pointed, a large area of flames erupted, startling more than a dozen red birds in the sky, and they fled in a hurry.
What is this, kobold's wizard spell, but it is a little different, the spell lacks a deterrent.
And this spell is not very powerful, but it is a little scary on the surface.
The red fierce birds that flew away were only blackened by a few feathers at the end, and even flying away could not make any difference.
However, the algorithm is not a threat, and the number cannot be underestimated, this creature is more difficult than goblins, and has the same sense of smell as a dog.
Loki wisely chose to retreat.
The little girl who was still looking at it sneaked and left safely behind her.
At this moment, the kobold leader's wooden staff trembled, and as if sensing something, he sniffed violently.
But to no avail, the kobold suddenly let go of his claws and let the staff fall to the ground, and then, pointing in the direction of the end of the staff, let out a strange commanding cry.
There was a 'barking' commotion, and the kobolds suddenly rushed in that direction.
Loki felt bad in advance, but he didn't need to be afraid, the speed of a kobold creature really couldn't pose a threat to him.
The kobolds are supposed to have driven out the original land-sitting households, the goblin community, and then occupied the nearby Burning Wood Forest.
Kobolds are familiar with the terrain, but that's not an advantage, as Loki is more familiar than they are.
The woodlands, hills, and trees in the vicinity have all been turned into 3D coordinate model maps, which are stored in his mind.
As he fled, he paused from time to time to shoot a sinister crossbow bolt from behind, each of which could kill the kobold.
After a while, there were not many crossbow arrows left in the quiver, and there were many fewer kobolds chasing behind.
Letting little Fatuna hide to the side to assist, Loki rushed back with the mountain opener, and the kobold team behind him was uneven.
"Roar!"
Flashing a few flying stones, he shouted, and with the force of his knife in both hands, he knocked away the kobold who rushed in front of him.
There is no need to fight kobolds in close combat, these creatures have a numerical advantage and are prone to unnecessary injuries when attacking in groups.
After kicking and stunned a kobold, he changed to a single-handed mountain opener, stepped forward and split the head of the kobold next to him, and blood splattered his face.
The kobolds were not very bold, and the first few had already retreated in fear, but at this time, the leader of the kobolds with white hair in the back stepped forward with a wooden staff, and the momentum of this group of small humanoids was shocked.
The strongest kobolds next to the leader also began to rush forward.
Surprisingly, the weapons they hold in their hands are also different, not simple broken wooden clubs, but maces with iron spikes, or metal maces with dark red blood stains, which look significantly more powerful than ordinary kobolds.
