Gradually, the flat terrain began to slope upward, getting steeper and steeper, and the soft soil that had been covered by fallen leaves became thicker and thicker gravel ground, and the trees became lower and sparser.

Finally, there was no more big tree in front of him, and the eyes were full of tenacious thorns and bushes growing among the black boulders.

Lin Xiao and Leopard Li have officially set foot on the ancient volcano, climbing all the way up.

The volcano is full of weathered volcanic rocks, which are strangely shaped.

Walking, walking, Lin Xiao's steps became more and more hesitant, constantly looking left and right, and his brows furrowed more and more.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?" Leopard Li asked.

"Li'er, do you feel as if someone is watching us nearby?" Lin Xiao asked softly.

"When you say that, I seem to feel that way, too. Leopard Li also became nervous.

Lin Xiao nodded silently, stopped, looked around, and finally, his gaze fell on a boulder more than ten meters away.

The boulder looks unremarkable, charred black, with a towering head, like a mountain full of volcanic rock.

Lin Xiaoxing's eyes were like lightning, looking at this boulder intently, suddenly, the space ring in his hand flashed, and the cloud-piercing bow was already in his hand.

"Come out!" Lin Xiao shouted as he stared fiercely at the empty boulder.

There was no movement around.

"Brother Xiao, there's nothing there. Leopard Li whispered suspiciously, and as she also took out the bow and arrow from the spatial ring, she didn't know where to point.

"Come out!Otherwise, I'll let go of the arrow!" Lin Xiao was unmoved, and raised his voice viciously, and the bowstring made a "squeak" moan.

In front of the boulder, the light distorted, revealing a small figure.

It was a small man, only fifty or sixty centimeters tall, dressed in earthy yellow, with his back bent, and his appearance was ugly and funny.

His head was large and sleek compared to his height, with only a few strands of grayish-brown hair, and a small beard in the middle of his upper lip.

His face was wrinkled, and he looked like a little old man, but his eyes were surprisingly large and he had a pair of pointed ears.

Around his waist, an unknown fabric was wrapped around his crotch, dirty, lean upper body, and carrying a small mulberry bow and a rattan arrow basket.

"Goblins!" Leopard exclaimed.

Goblins, who like to live in the dark underground, are good at mining and refining metals, and although their combat power is not very strong, they are good at stealth and mimicry.

Although this goblin was pointed at by Lin Xiao's arrow, he did not look panicked, and a series of syllables came out of his mouth with thick lips that he did not understand at all.

Goblin language, mostly with plosive sounds, short and fast words, gives people the feeling that animals are purring fiercely.

With this grunt, far and near, more than a dozen places were distorted by light, and the figures of goblin warriors appeared, each of them had a small bow full of strings, and the arrow pointed directly at Lin Xiao and Leopard Li, and they were surrounded.

"Drop the weapon, put it down, or die, die, die, die!" the apparently small-headed elf commanded in a jerky orc lingua franca, his tone fierce.

The goblin warriors around them tightened their bowstrings for another three points.

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Xiao calmly let go of the bowstring, put the piercing clouds into the space ring, and said loudly: "We have no malicious intentions, we are here to do business with you." ”

"Do business, big drops, welcome!" As soon as the goblin leader finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened again, "You drop, what do you do for the Tiger Clan?"

"Yes, I'm from the Tiger Clan. Lin Xiao replied.

There was a small commotion around him, and the goblin head was now spitting out a series of rapid grunts.

"Whoosh!

With two sharp sounds, Lin Xiao and Leopard Li only felt a pain in their legs, and they had been shot by an arrow from behind.

"Damn, didn't you say we had no malice?" Lin Xiao roared angrily, and suddenly, he only felt dizzy.

"This arrow...... Poisonous ......" As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao and Leopard Li's legs were weak and they had collapsed to the ground.

"Tiger drops, big bad, be careful and careful!" the goblin leader muttered to himself as he touched a fresh scar on his forehead with his hand, looking like he was palpitating.

......

"Now that you're awake, open your eyes. A voice sounded in Lin Xiao's ears, very fluent in orc lingua franca, but there were still obvious characteristics of goblin language on the vocal line.

Lin Xiao opened his eyes, he was indeed awake, but he didn't want to be reckless, he wanted to listen to the surrounding movements before deciding what to do, but he didn't expect to be recognized at once.

Lin Xiao saw that a goblin was standing in front of him and looking down at him, although this goblin looked as ugly and funny as other goblins, but he was wearing a clean brown robe, a crown studded with precious stones, and a Rendanhu on his upper lip was trimmed extremely neatly, and his face was arrogant, obviously different.

Lin Xiao struggled to sit up, only then did he see that he was in a stone room, surrounded by pitch-black rocks, but obviously after being chiseled by artificial axes, the four walls were extremely flat, and the rock walls were regularly inlaid with some fist-sized spars, which were shining brightly, illuminating the entire stone room.

And inside the stone room, there were more than a dozen goblins standing, including the goblin leader who captured Lin Xiao, and they all stood with their hands down behind the crowned goblin, looking extremely respectful.

What stunned Lin Xiao was that the tables, chairs, cabinets, and tables in the stone room were all made of steel, with exquisite shapes, and many of them were inlaid with gemstones of various colors, which were brilliant.

This is too extravagant, you know, among the Tiger Clan, even a steel knife will be regarded as a treasure, but here, even the furniture is steel.

"We elves are children of nature, and we are very sensitive to all living things, so as soon as you wake up, I will know. After the crowned goblin finished speaking, as soon as his robe was lifted, an attendant immediately handed him a chair, and he sat down, leaning on the back of the chair, and looked at Lin Xiao with interest.

"Are you elves?" Lin Xiao asked

"Yes, we elves are the same as orcs, and we are a big race, and there are many different ones, there are flying flying elves, there are water elves who live in the water, and there are earth elves who live underground like us. However, now the world only calls the flying elves elves, and our earth elves are degraded as goblins, which is judging people by their appearance. The crowned goblin spoke with some indignation.

At this time, there was a sigh beside him, and Leopard Li, who had been lying beside Lin Xiao, also woke up slowly.

Lin Xiao hurriedly leaned over to help, only to find that his hands were tightly bound by iron chains, and they were already numb, so he didn't notice it before.

"Why do you want to tie me up?!" Lin Xiao jumped up and was about to pounce on the crowned goblin in front of him, but he fell down on one heel, only to find that his feet were also tied.

"Don't be rude to my king!" two goblins who were extremely burly among goblins stepped forward and pointed their spears at Lin Xiao and shouted angrily.

Lin Xiao smelled that the tip of the gun in front of him was glowing with a faint green light, and there was a faint sweet smell, and the gun was poisonous.

The crowned goblin waved his hand, and the two gun-wielding goblin warriors immediately collected their guns and retreated behind him.

"Forgot to introduce yourself. The crowned goblin grinned, revealing a mouthful of jagged yellow teeth, and said proudly: "I am Baga III, the king of the Ni Bang tribe of the goblin clan, who are you?"

"I'm Lin Xiao of the Tiger Clan, I'm here to trade with you, is this your hospitality?" Lin Xiao stretched out his bound hands and said angrily.

Baga III grinned: "We haven't had a Tiger Clan here for a long time, but a few days ago, there were two of them, and if they didn't agree with each other, it would turn the world upside down, so we have to guard against you Tiger Clan." ”

"Where are they now?" Lin Xiao asked loudly.

Those two must be Lin Yan and Lin Lei.

"Going wild on our turf naturally doesn't end well. Baga III said proudly.

"What happened to the two of them?" Lin Xiaohu glared.

"Don't worry, it's just that they're locked up after being hemp, who calls them uninteresting. You're so nervous, could they be your companions?" asked Baga III.

"Yes, they are my brothers. Lin Xiao replied.

"That's good, if you are interested in helping me do something, not only will I be greatly rewarded, but they will also be released unscathed. Baga III raised his shriveled chin and looked at Lin Xiao proudly.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Be the messenger who proposed to Leah, the queen of the flying elves, on my behalf. Baga III's eyes were eager.

"Marriage proposal?matchmaking?" Lin Xiao blinked in surprise.

"That's right, in addition to the Ni Bang Department of our Earth Elves, there are also Sicilian Divisions of the Flying Elves who remain in this elven enclave. We occupy the ten sacred mountains, and the Sicilian region occupies the central valley. Although we are all elves, we have been separated from each other for 3,000 years, and we have gone our own way. The two of us are alone here, and we should support each other and get closer to each other. Thankfully their current queen Leah, I ...... to her No, she has always been in love with me, so I think that as long as I marry her, the two races will naturally become like a family. Baga III said with a flutter of eyebrows.

"But why do you want me to talk to the matchmaker, you can send your own people directly!" Lin Xiao was puzzled.

"Well...... It's been sent a few times before, but Leah is probably reserved and shy...... Or they didn't think they were worthy of me, so they refused. A hint of embarrassment and distress appeared on Baga III's face.

"Then what difference will it be if I go?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Explain it, Wizard Yalu. Baga III seemed to be tired, leaned back in the chair, and immediately an attendant handed over a plate, Lin Xiao saw that it was filled with all kinds of fresh mushrooms, a few of which were very rare, Baga III picked one up and chewed it.

"Ahem!" With a cough, an old goblin who had bent his waist at ninety degrees and had a bald beard staggered forward, holding a cane studded with precious stones in his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "When the king ascended the throne a hundred years ago, I made a divination, and the hexagram showed that in the king's tenure, with the tiger as the medium, the Nihong tribe will form the closest alliance with the Sicilian department, so as to finally unify the elven realm and complete the great ...... that has not been seen for 10,000 years Great achievement. ”
