Chapter 595: Discovery in the Valley
PS: The highlights of the early morning are finally written......
Beyond a low mountain range in front of me, the valley that Melissa spoke of immediately came into view, with not many plants in between, but a large number of jagged rocks scattered on the cracked surface, which looked like a river channel many years ago, but now it has long since dried up, and only the faint traces of the water are still left at the bottom......
It was already very close to the gathering place of the big goblins, and if you looked down directly down the foothills, you could see at a glance several figures on the high ground near the side of the valley, and they should be the sentinels in charge of watching.
There were four goblins in total, and they were all gathered together, and in the middle was a cauldron on a fire, which was steaming hot, and it seemed that it should be today's breakfast.
A big goblin seemed to be in a hurry, and he picked up a short fork, took a piece of meat from the pot and stuffed it into his mouth, but it was immediately scalded by the hot food, and the miserable appearance of grinning teeth caused a burst of laughter.
The goblin threw the piece of meat back in annoyance, glared at the people who were laughing at him, and then grabbed the weapon at his side and strode out, his mouth still snarling in displeasure.
When it was less than a dozen steps away, suddenly an extremely slight sound of breaking the air came into its ears.
As soon as the goblin looked up, the arrow was already in front of him, and it immediately opened its eyes and jerked back with a hideous face, raising its arms in front of its faceโit had happened so suddenly, and he could only do his best to protect himself, but he had no time to alert his other companions.
However, the goblin reacted visibly late, and the arrow left an afterimage on its retina. The next moment, it passed through the thick palm, and then the remaining strength was not exhausted, and it directly pinned its palm and throat together.
The goblin's eyes were filled with disbelief. He staggered back a few steps, making a "gurgling" sound in his throat, and finally fell on his back. It wasn't until its heavy body fell to the ground that the remaining three goblins realized that something was wrong, and stopped what they were doing to look back, only to be shocked to find that the kind of person they had just left had turned into a corpse.
They immediately reached out to grab them, but before they could touch their weapons. Nine long arrows came across the sky, and in an instant, they were in front of them.
With the sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh, every goblin was hit by an arrow in the vital place. They didn't even have time to roar, and a few "poofs" followed in the footsteps of their kind.
Several humans appeared nearby, glanced left and right, and then walked to the corpse of the goblin without hesitation. One of the big men crouched down to take a look. Smiling, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of admiration to his companion who came behind him.
"Dan, compared to being in the Wolf's Kiss Forest, your strength has improved a lot. โ
The elven ranger didn't say anything, he just smiled and put away the scorpion tail bow that Adil had given him before leaving.
"Aren't you the same, Red," Leon said casually as he stood aside, but his gaze didn't look at it. Instead, they looked at the other side of the valley.
A moment later, Melissa appeared in front of him from that direction. The two fist gloves on his hands were still dripping blood.
"There are seven sentinels in all," the girl said.
"Very well, let's move on," Leon walked briskly along the high ground towards the valley, but now there were only seven companions left with him, and Duncan and Fiona had not shown up for some reason.
After traveling for more than twenty minutes, maybe because the strength of the Shiyan tribe is very strong, or maybe there are no strong foreign enemies here, anyway, there are not many sentinels responsible for guarding along the way, and the strength is also very average, all of them are quietly cleared out one by one by these intruding humans, which can be said to be effortless.
As the valley opened up and the terrain beneath them became more gentle, the group suddenly changed direction, and instead of going straight along the valley, they went around the nearby hillside and came behind a boulder led by Melissa.
"Commander, we've arrived, and I hid here yesterday to see them. โ
It didn't need Melissa to prompt, but standing here at this moment, I could already hear a cacophony coming from the front, it was the roar of a big goblin, and it sounded quite dense.
Leon walked slowly to the side of the boulder and poked out half of his head to look at the source of the sound.
Ahead should be the most open area in the valley, and the young man was a little surprised when he first saw it, the number of goblins gathered there was extremely large, and it must have exceeded the five or six hundred that Melissa had said, and it was estimated that there must be more than seven or eight hundred. They were clustered in several phalanxes, including warriors with large swords, ranged attackers with sharp spears in their backs, and cavalry riding wild boars, and so on, and it looked as if they were preparing for a large-scale operation.
At this time, these goblins roared as if they were stimulated, holding various weapons, and in front of them stood five leaders who were relatively powerful at first glance, and in the middle of the goblin in leather armor held a large axe, and was making the loudest roar.
The size of the goblin is not burly among humanoids, and it is completely incomparable with strong orcs, ogres, and other creatures, among which the strongest goblin is at best about the size of Red, but the body of this goblin is as strong as the barbarian Sapa, and the muscles of its arms are high and bulging, and wielding the big axe in its hand looks like a toy, which is extremely eye-catching among nearly a thousand of its kind.
It must be the "Master Kurona" mentioned by Kuta, the goblin who died in Campbell, and the goblins around him should also be at the level of the leader, similar to Kuta's strength, and the one on the far left who holds a long-handled rudimentary staff and has an unknown bird feather on his shoulder guard is the powerful shaman in Melissa's mouth.
The roar lasted for more than a minute, and only then did Kurona casually put down the weapon, and the dull sound of the axe falling on the ground was faintly audible even to Leon, so you can imagine the weight of the weapon.
Next, Kurona muttered a series of syllables, the language of the great goblins, which, though the young man did not understand, could tell that he was making arrangements for the warriors of these tribes.
Leon retreated, first relaying what he had just seen to his companions, and finally listening to the voice that came from him, and looking at Erin with an unusually expectant look.
"Do you think I'm going to be bored enough to learn the language of the goblins?" the girl immediately understood what the young man meant, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Li Ang also knew that he was thinking a little too much, after all, there were countless races in this world, if he really wanted to master a "foreign language...... Erin would never have chosen such an ugly humanoid creature either.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, you always have to fight anyway," the young man said seriously, "but this time there are more enemies, so you should be careful." (To be continued......)
