Chapter 4: The Mines and Trolls in the Gega Forest

Before dawn the next morning, Batu was already waiting on the stone bridge with a carriage, stretching his neck to look at the path at the entrance of the village. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, Brother Batu, what are you looking at like a statue?" Liang Ke suddenly appeared behind Batu and slapped Batu's stiff neck.

"Oh, my brother Aragorn, you almost scared me to death. When did you come? I thought you were still lying on Tess's belly and wouldn't get up?"

"You old and unscrupulous, how can the great Lord of Aragon be as unbearable as you stinky blacksmith thinks. I came a long time ago and went to the river to pee. Let's go!" Liang Ke got into the carriage and lay down on the hay prepared for the horses.

The Golgar Forest is located in the southernmost part of the Narondo Mountains, and further south is the beautiful Blue Persian Sea. To the east of this vast forest is a small kingdom called Uwang, which is less than half the size of Binuk province. Due to its special geographical location, Uwang is equivalent to an external gateway to the empire, providing an important strategic buffer, and Uwang is surrounded by many powerful countries, and has to rely on the empire behind it, so the Uwang Kingdom has always maintained political and commercial exchanges with the empire, and as an important trade route, the winding gravel road in the Gega forest is maintained by the two countries sturdy and smooth, and Batu's old carriage does not seem bumpy when walking on it.

Aragorn lay in the carriage and followed Batu until noon on the third day, when he finally stopped in a col.

"When we arrived, we had left the main road, there was no way from here to the pit, and we could see the pit when we climbed over the hill in front of us, Aragorn! Batu untied the horse from the wheels and woke Liang Ke up.

Liang Ke took off the broken straw hat covering his face, spit out the thin straw stick in his mouth, turned over and sat up and jumped out of the carriage, and everywhere he saw was the towering tree that the two of them embraced, the trunk of the tree here was straight, the leaves were wide and green, as if the mountain wind could not make the leaves sway, and the layers of large leaves covered all the sunlight, and the forest was very dark. Obviously, this place has been far away from that trade route, and in addition to the two of them, there are only unknown birds that can be seen only occasionally chirping and flying by, and Liang Ke subconsciously shivered.

"I said Brother Batu, there is no danger in this place, but don't come all the way to the ore and don't get it, and then feed the monster. My Tis can't be widowed anymore. ”

After this period of continuous learning, Liang Ke knows that the monsters in this world are not the tigers and lions raised in the zoos on the earth, they are all fierce monsters, and many of them can actually do simple magic. Like the story of the last time he killed the iron-backed demon lizard, the chance of it happening again will definitely not be greater than the chance of him Liang Ke crossing again.

"Don't worry, this forest is a joint testing ground for the noble knights and powerful magicians of the empire and the Uwang Kingdom, even if there were some magical beasts in the past, they have all been killed or run away by now. Have you seen even a single Dilla rabbit along the way?" Batu was disdainful of Liang Ke's ignorance.

"Oh, that's good, that's good. Although Batu said this, Liang Ke still touched his two knives meaningfully. The great Aragorn could not die again.

Sure enough, just as Batu said, when he turned over the hill and walked out of this dark forest, Liang Ke did not encounter a single demonic beast that could make him afraid, and there were not even a few ordinary beasts.

"Look, do you see the entrance to that pit? It's not far up there. ”

Not far out of the forest, Batu shouted excitedly and rushed up the hill in front of him, where there was a mine hole three feet wide.

"Brother Batu, you wait for me, your horse. Liang Ke ran a few steps, grabbed the reins of the horse, which Batu was still swinging in the wind, and followed.

Liang Ke finally led the old horses out of the cave on the mountainside, unloaded the pickaxe and sack, and carried it on his back, when he heard Batu rushing out of the cave with a shout.

"Aragorn, run, run!", Batu just rushed out of the cave as if he had tripped over something, and fell to the ground and fell far away. Liang Ke hurriedly threw away the things in his hand and ran to help Batu.

"What's wrong, did you meet a demonic beast?" Liang Ke looked at Batu's bloodless face, and a chill broke down his back.

"No, it's scarier than that, run. Batu pulled Liang Ke and turned around and ran, hoping to rush into the Gega Forest as soon as possible.

Just as Batu and Liang Ke turned around, a spear more than two meters long and as thick as an egg pierced through Batu's clothes under his armpit with a sharp whistling, and plunged into the ground with a "duh" sound that was a foot deep, and the trembling tail of the gun was quickly afraid of hitting Batu's thick waist and snapping. As soon as Liang Ke grabbed the combat knife and the five or six spear stabs in his hand, a gust of wind seemed to blow in the mine, and six tall figures suddenly swept out, dividing them into different directions to block all their escape routes.

"Damn, what kind of monster is this?" Liang Ke was frightened by these six ugly-looking big guys. The creatures surrounding them were covered with green to black skin, the average height was definitely more than that of the little giant Yao Ming, each with four thick and slender arms, and four big hands holding throwing guns, throwing locks, knives, swords and other weapons of different shapes. It is also said that it is more appropriate to not liquidate the hair or count the hair, and it is always scattered all the way to the waist. These monsters wore only a strip of animal skin, their muscular calves exposed under the skin, their gently moving feet without shoes, and the nails on their four toes were sharply curved and stuck in the dirt like rakes. The most terrifying thing is that they are looking at Liang Ke and Batu with small eyes like mung beans at this moment, two upturned fangs more than three inches long are sticking out of their mouths, saliva is dripping down, and their pointed long noses occasionally move twice, as if they are smelling the smell of the big meal in front of them.

"Damn, this ...... This seems to be the legendary troll. Batu was so frightened that he sat on the ground and couldn't get up.

"This is a troll?" Liang Ke didn't hear the village chief scare his grandson with the name of a troll, it turned out that he thought it was all made up by adults to deceive children, who knew that this terrifying creature that existed in the legend was actually encountered by himself. While Liang Ke was rolling his eyes and pondering how to deal with these killing machines, more than a dozen trolls came out of the mine, among which there were several big guys with six arms, and Liang Ke's heart sank to the bottom.

"Haha, little human, tell me your name and the purpose of coming here, the mighty troll warrior Pidero doesn't want to kill a nameless junior. A troll with a dark brown beard in pigtails on his chin stepped out of the crowd, and the other trolls took a small step back respectfully, apparently he should be the leader of the group.

Those who can talk are intelligent creatures, and it seems that these trolls are not unreasonable and kill people when they raise their hands, as the legend says. Give the opportunity to open your mouth and everything will be discussed, and it will be easy to do.

"You're the Troll Warrior Pidero?" Liang Ke said in surprise, "I've long heard that the Troll Warriors are all brave and warlike, and their sword skills are outstanding, and even the Beamon Behemoth of the Beast Clan will tremble when they hear the prestige of the troll. Today's experience is truly extraordinary. Liang Ke patted himself as he didn't even believe it, while observing the reaction of the troll leader.

"That's right! Leader Pidero is the most powerful of our trolls, the six-armed 'Zhesian', and no one has ever been able to defeat our leader. ”

The troll leader named Pidero raised his hand to stop his men's sycophants, squinted his little eyes and asked, "Oh! is that really the case?

"Haha, of course yes, it doesn't do Aragorn any good to deceive a powerful 'Zhexian'. "Liang Ke is happy, it seems that the truth that thousands of sycophants are not worn is still common in this different world.

"Oh, human, your name is Aragorn, and it seems that you are a little different from the other cunning humans, so can you tell me what you are here for?"

"My blacksmith friend has found a vein, and we're going to get some ore this time. Liang Ke replied half-concealedly.

"Hahaha, little human, the ore you are talking about can't be the Mithril behind me, right?Why did you take even a little bit of Mithril ore from the hands of powerful trolls?"

"Wait, wait. Liang Ke pulled Batu up, preparing to escape, and pretended to be calm to negotiate with the troll leader.

"Could it be that the bravery of the trolls I have heard of is fake? Could it be that the trolls only know how to bully the weak by the more? The ore vein was discovered by us first, and it is only natural to take away the ore that belongs to us. ”

"Haha, funny guy. Trolls don't know what it means to come first and come first, and only believe that the strong are kings. Don't say I won't give you a chance, as long as you can beat any of us, you can fill those sacks of Mithril ore and carry it home. The troll leader squinted his little eyes and looked at Liang Ke playfully.

As soon as Liang Ke heard the momentum, dozens of trolls could scare Liang Ke, but I Liang Ke was really not afraid of fighting alone, if he really won, then he would win a beautiful and happy life!

"Well, you are not allowed to go back on your word. Liang Ke pulled Batu, who had already looked stupid, aside, and returned to the field to start a fight and prepare to fight.

"Stupid humans who don't know how to die, let you see what the superb martial arts of trolls are. As he spoke, a troll warrior who had surrounded Liang Ke jumped up violently, and the four weapons of different styles in his hand smashed into Liang Ke's head with a whining wind. Liang Ke saw that the troll's attack was strong and heavy, and the two knives in his hand were light weapons that could not be blocked, so he rolled forward on the spot and slashed through the troll's left side, and at the same time got up, he stabbed the troll's left leg with a backhand, and when the painful troll turned around and was about to tear apart this cunning human, he found that Liang Ke's other knife had been against his heart.

"Don't move, send my knife fifteen centimeters further and your heart will be pierced, and in a minute you will die of blood loss. ”

"Stop!" Pidro, the leader of the trolls, stopped the enraged trolls from struggling uselessly.

"It's good, to be able to defeat a powerful troll warrior in one move, which hasn't happened in my memory, and it seems that I underestimated your strength. Now put away your knife and you can take your ore. ”

Liang Ke was surprised to find that although these trolls had strong bodies and as many as six arms, they didn't know anything about combat skills, not to mention Liang Ke, who had the title of a combat leader, even those recruits who had just joined the army were stronger than them. Liang Ke's confidence swelled rapidly.

"Haha, Mr. Piedero, we can do it again if you want. If I can win against you, then this Mithril Mine is completely mine, and if you can win against me, then I will dispose of it at your disposal, what do you think?"

"What? you're going to challenge Pidro, the most powerful warrior of the trolls? Don't think you can defeat me if you can defeat him, I've been learning martial arts for years. Piedro couldn't believe his ears.

"Haha, since you think you're too strong to be invincible, why do you care about my challenge? ”

"Well, arrogant human, if you can defeat me head-on, let alone this vein, Pidero's life is at your disposal. The troll leader was completely enraged by Liang Ke's provocation.

"It's a deal, let's get started!" Liang Ke picked up the big sword that the troll warrior was still on the ground just now and held it in his left hand.
