Chapter 124: Kobold

There was a reason why Lin did not refuse Sammy's following.

Lin had already agreed to participate in the warrior conference, and the leader of Yada arranged for Sami to go with Lin, probably because he was worried that Lin would never return, and as a result, the warrior conference asked the Gongga tribe to send another person over and lose the clansmen.

However, Lin had never been to the Luminous Canyon, and it was certainly nice to have an aboriginal to follow. In addition, Lin has also seen the strength of Sami O, who is proficient in throwing spears and arrows, which is also a great help.

"Chief, don't send it anymore," Sammy said, patting his chest, "It's only two or three days to go back and forth from here to the Luminous Canyon." When Brusso's business is done, we'll be back. ”

The leader of Yada nodded and said, "The white wine is about to be harvested, and I will lead the patrol for you in the past few days." You have to go and come back quickly, and stay safe. ”

Lin and Sami walked one after the other, heading towards the entrance to the glow-in-the-dark canyon to the northwest.

"The glow-in-the-dark canyon runs north-south, hundreds of miles long, and there are only two entrances to such a long section," Sami said as he walked, "except for the entrance, the other areas are steep cliffs, and there is no way to go down." ”

Lin nodded and said, "How many orcs are there in the canyon?"

Sami shook his head and said, "I have never calculated, the depth of the canyon is divided into seven layers, and it is simply a huge underground world. The first layer of orcs alone is estimated to be close to a thousand. ”

Lin was taken aback, his face still unmoved.

It's no wonder that the Lord of Magic emphasized that this mission was very dangerous, and also gave a skill card as a reward. There were thousands of orcs on the first floor, and it was really unimaginable how many underground creatures there were on the six floors below.

"What do they live on?" Lin asked.

Sami reminisced for a moment and said, "In the vicinity of the moon stone, a moss grows, which we call moonlight moss. The lowest orcs and underground animals feed on moonlight moss. It should be noted that the further down the moonstone, the greater the number of moonstones, the better the growth of moonlight moss. Therefore, the creatures that live in the lower layers are more ferocious than the creatures in the upper layers. ”

Lin deeply felt that when food is not abundant, only powerful ethnic groups can occupy areas with abundant food. Weak ethnic groups can only be driven to places where food is scarce, which is the iron law of natural selection, survival of the fittest.

In this way, the monsters in the first layer are the weakest, and the later layers will be more and more difficult to advance.

"Now, I can only hope that the so-called ancient ruins are in the first few layers. Lin thought silently as he quickened his pace.

There are two entrances to the Luminous Canyon, one of which is in the direction of the Hailib tribe and the other is in the direction of the Gongga tribe. Both entrances were guarded by the Halib tribe in conjunction with various tribes, so as to prevent the orcs inside from making a large-scale dispatch to threaten the Terran tribes of the Tianlu Mountains.

"Kunu, you're in charge of guarding this month?" Sammy walked to the tent where the guards were.

The dark-skinned man standing outside the tent grinned at the sight of Sami, revealing a mouth full of snow-white teeth.

"Lord Sami," Kun Wu said respectfully, "did you come to the Luminous Canyon to collect the Moon Stones for the sacrifice?"

"Well, sort of," said Sammy, "I'll accompany this 'Bruso' to collect some along the way." The sacrificial rites of the clan are about to begin. ”

"Bruso!" Although Kunwu is not from the Gongga tribe, he is not far from the Gongga tribe, so he naturally knows the name of the son of the sky, which is one of the highest honors of the Gongga tribe. He couldn't help but glance at Lin deeply.

After verifying his identity, Kunwu waved his hand, and several of the aborigines who were in charge of guarding the valley mouth pushed open the fence and let them go.

Looking at the steep staircase of 60° below, Lin exhaled and slowly walked down the stairs step by step.

This is indeed an excellent area for defense, and the steep slope that only allows one person to advance, even if there is an army of 10,000 and a half orcs in the canyon, they have to line up one by one to climb up. If there is a guard above, it only takes an elite team of Terrans to make the 10,000 and a half orcs in the canyon helpless.

The first layer of the canyon is 100 meters deep, and when the forest goes down to the bottom of the first layer, looking up at the sky, the original huge dome is only a blue and white line.

"There is no sign of orcs near the mouth of the valley," Sammy explained, "and they are afraid of being shot by the Terran archers above. ”

Lin nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Bruso, what are you looking for here?" Sammy asked, "If you're looking for a moon stone, I do know that there are some places on the first floor where there may be a moon stone." ”

Lin shook his head and said, "I accepted a commission to search for ancient ruins in the Luminous Canyon. ”

Sami spread his hands: "I'm afraid it's difficult, I've never heard of it, there are relics left by antiquity in the canyon. Anyway, didn't Brusto split it with a sword, how could there be ruins?"

Lin shook his head and didn't speak. The two moved on.

The topography of the first layer of the Luminous Canyon is like a labyrinth, consisting of intricate arc-shaped corridors. Lin asked, "Where is the entrance to the second floor?"

Sammy shook his head and said, "Although I have been here, I am only looking for the Moon Stone. So, I didn't have to look for a second level entrance...... Orcs there are not easy to mess with. ”

As he was talking, Lin suddenly became alert, raised an index finger, lightly tapped it on his eyebrows, and said softly: "Silence!"

Two thin lines of light blue thought, zigzag along the curved passage ahead.

Lin waved his hand, and the two of them hid together in a recessed bend in the road, waiting with bated breath.

Two half-orcs, who were more than a meter tall and had a thin body, carried two stone sticks and swayed by. Looking at the part below their neck, they are not much different from normal humans, except that they have more gray hair, and there is a tail dangling behind their buttocks.

These two orcs, both with dog heads, one of them missing half of his ears and the other with a scar on the tip of his nose.

The earless kobold walked near the pit where Lin and Sami were hiding, and suddenly sniffed hard, and then looked suspiciously at the place where Lin and the two were hiding.

"Meat, roar, roar......"

The scar-nosed kobold also learned to sniff hard, but he didn't smell anything, and hit the head of the "missing ear" hard, and roared loudly, as if he was reprimanding.

"Missing ears" is obviously a little afraid of "scarred nose", shrinking his head like a plague chicken, and accepting the reprimand without resistance.

The two kobolds continued to walk forward.

Lin scolded in his heart, Bokabu, the master of magic, said that the ignorant creatures in the canyon have low perception and can't find Lin at all.

Lin speculated that the Lord of Magic should not have deceived himself, but the kobold should have the natural ability to enhance his sense of smell, and his own perception of the caste is not high.

After some distance with a missing ear and a scarred nose, Rin and Sami jumped out of the pit.

"Bruso, paint these," Sami seemed to suddenly remember something, and took out two small wooden bottles from the leather pouch at his waist.

Lin took a bottle, pulled the stopper, and suddenly a strong fishy smell came into his nose.

Sammy had already opened another bottle and expertly smeared it on himself: "The light in the canyon is weak, and orcs generally have good night vision, or else they have a good sense of smell. The kobold clan has a very sensitive sense of smell, and the kobold just now smelled the breath of a living person on our body, but fortunately, the other kobold had a wound on his nose and couldn't smell it. ”

Lin didn't care what was in the bottle, and frowned and smeared the liquid in the bottle on his body.

In the past, Lin might have minded, but the wandering life during this period not only broadened Lin's horizons rapidly, but also tempered his mind, and he paid more attention to practical results and was no longer superficial.

"Now, when we hid, it tasted like a normal orc. Even if the patrolmen smelled it, it was only for us to be two kobolds pulling out the poop. Sami said heavily.

Lin identified the path, did not answer, and continued to walk forward.

Along the way, I met several more patrolmen, all kobolds. Lin understood that the entrance of the Gongga tribe into the valley should be the territory of the kobolds.

Most of these kobolds are at the level of waste spirits, and the more elite kobold patrols are the first level of phantoms. However, Lin still didn't dare to act rashly, you must know that there are nearly a thousand half-orcs in this first layer, among which there are many elite individuals and even strong kobold monsters at the leader level, if they are besieged, they can't resist the strength of Lin and Sami.

"In front left, there's a kobold settlement," Sami whispered, pointing to the rock wall in front of him, "There may be moon stones in it, do you want to get rid of it?"

Lin shook his head and said, "It's easy to collect moon stones, but if you alarm the kobolds, it's hard to find the entrance to the second layer. ”

Sammy was right to think about it, in the past, when they came down, they all quickly found a kobold den, slaughtered it and then took the moon stone. If you're lucky, no kobold might be able to spot the anomaly for two or three days. Even if they were unlucky, they were discovered by the nearby kobolds, and when a large number of kobolds searched for the intruder, the uninvited guests of the Gongga tribe had already fled.

Now that Lin wants to find the entrance to the second floor, he can only keep a low profile, quietly enter the village, and don't shoot guns.

Sami thought about it and made a suggestion.

"We don't know the entrance to the second floor, but the kobolds certainly do," Sami said, "We find a patrolman, ask for the entrance, and then slaughter and bury it, and the other kobolds won't find it in a day or two." ”

Sami is simply a terrorist, who has just shouted for the slaughter of the village, and now there is shouting for kidnapping.

"Kobolds have low intelligence, and the average human is only 3~4 years old," Lin analyzed in a flat tone, "Ordinary patrolmen may not remember the way to the second layer." ”

"What then?" Sammy was a little anxious.

"Elite kobolds, commander ranks. Lin Mo said, leaning against the rock wall.
