Chapter 582: The Missing Child (2)
The villagers have lost hope that the two children will still be alive, and now they just want to know what they are made of, otherwise they will have to live in fear in the future.
The hunters told Sadie that they had been to the bandits' camp on the day the child disappeared, but they had not found anyone and did not know if they had gone hunting.
In the other two places, they did not dare to approach.
In the end, Sadie decided to go to the gang of robbers first, and Orion was right, leaving no traces, and most likely it was done by people.
The two bears are the least likely, and it is not normal for them to take the child away without leaving a drop of blood.
As for the brute goblins, they are also a group of people with low IQs, and it is said that they will clean up the traces, and Sadie also thinks it is unlikely.
One of the hunters took Sadie to the bandit camp, while the others stayed, the village needed to be protected, and they were not sure if the kidnappers would come back.
The mountain roads are inconvenient to walk, and many times they are completely drilled into the trees, and only these local hunters can tell how to get there.
It wasn't until an hour later that they reached a gentle area under a rock, where there were several sheds made of rags and wood, as well as a mess of miscellaneous items, all thrown haphazardly.
A few grizzled men were gathered around the fire, which contained a few black pieces that looked like plant roots.
Hearing the movement, the robbers looked over and found Orion with a knife in his hand and Sadie in armor, and several people immediately stood up.
Sadie noticed that they also had minor injuries.
When Orion saw a few of them, he couldn't help but say angrily: "You have finally returned, tell me quickly, did you capture them in Misin?" ”
"What's Mising?"
One of the robbers scolded, "Are you blind? We went out hunting for a few days, but we didn't catch any farts, and we just came back. ”
Another robber grabbed the short sword on the side and stuck it in the fire, tying up a black rhizome: "Look what the we're eating!" ”
Orion was a little unsure, but he still said, "You people are the ones who will clean up the traces around here, who else will there be?" ”
"How do we know, can you eat that misin? Can't eat what are we going to do with him? ”
Orion looked at Sadie, "Knight, what do you think?" ”
"They didn't blackmail you, and now they are eating these roots here, and they are wounded, and it looks like they have just returned from a hunting failure, and they shouldn't have done it. Is it certain that there is no one else around here? Sadie still thinks it must have been done by people.
"It's also seven or eight hours to the nearest village, and the road conditions are even more difficult than what we just walked, and we drilled in the forest all the way, and even we hunters rarely communicate with that side."
"Let's go to the other two places."
Sadie had already guessed in her heart that the other two places might not lead to anything, but she decided to check them out anyway to make sure.
The two of them approached the road this time, but did not return to the village, and the road became more difficult, and several steep slopes had to be carefully leaned against the rope to go down. Fortunately, one is an old hunter who is familiar with this place, and although Sadie is not very talented, as a knight of Karsham, he is still stronger than ordinary people, and there is no problem with this mountain road.
After walking for an hour and a half, the two men rested on the back of the mountain, and the cave where the two bears were located was on the other side of the mountain, and they could be seen by going around.
Sadie consulted with Orion, and decided that she would lure the two bears away, and then Orion hurried in to see if there was any sign of the two children.
"I'll try to steer them away, but I'm not familiar with this place, and they should be back in a few minutes at most, you as soon as possible."
Not far from the cave, Sadie finally told Orion.
"Okay." Orion nodded.
Seeing this, Sadie rushed into the cave, and soon there was a roar of bears inside, and then Sadie ran out, followed by two huge bears.
As they faded away, Orion slipped into the cave and lit the torches that had been prepared, looking around for any signs of children or leaving something behind, but found nothing but the stench and some unidentifiable animal remains.
Before the bear returned, Orion hurried out and went to another place where they had scheduled to meet.
It was about ten minutes before Sadie appeared in front of him.
"How?"
Orion shook his head: "No, no human bones, no pieces of clothing or anything. ”
Neither of them was surprised by this outcome, and the two bears were the least likely of the three.
Orion pointed in one direction: "We will go down the hill from that side, and soon we will see a stream, and after a short walk we will see the settlement of the wild goblins." Although they are not very intelligent, there are more than 20 of them, and we can't do anything about them. ”
With him leading the way, Sadie followed her down the mountain, and after a few minutes of walking along the stream, she came across what Orion called the colony of the goblins.
In fact, it is a pit about a meter deep in the ground, with several gentle slopes facing inward, and some wooden stakes with the tips facing outwards around it.
There are holes in the inner wall of the pit, the hole is small, and the inside is slightly larger, which is the home of the wild goblin.
"Although they are not as powerful as the two bears, they are numerous, they are not small, and they can use some crude weapons." Orion reminded Shadie.
Sadie glanced at it, there were about seven or eight holes in the inner wall of the pit, so how to lure out all the brute goblins was a problem.
She found some gravel nearby: "It's the same plan, but this time it might be a little shorter, you'll have to check all the caves, okay?" ”
"No problem, these caves are basically only two or three meters deep, just get close and take a look inside."
"Alright, I'll go get them out of the way."
Sadie ran out of the pit and threw the stone in her hand into the hole opposite, and soon there was a sound of wah-wah-wah, and some little blue-and-gray-skinned men rushed out with sticks and stones, and when they saw Shadie, they screamed and ran towards her.
Instead of leaving immediately, Sadie ran half a circle around the pit, throwing stones as she went.
The brute goblins jumped up in anger, and when they saw Sadie running away, they chased after her.
Orion took the opportunity to inspect all the caves, but still found nothing. With a sense of loss, he rushed to the agreed place between the two and waited for Sadie to return.
A few minutes later, Sadie appeared, a layer of sweat on her forehead, and it was estimated that it would not be easy to get rid of those brute goblins.
Seeing Orion's expression, she knew that she must not have found it.
"Are there really no other threats around here? Or maybe the two children ran away and got lost and couldn't come back? ”
Orion shook his head: "The two of them told the people that they were going to the edge of the village to look for wild fruits, and we found traces of them there, but nothing else came or they left for somewhere else." ”
Hearing this, Sadie knew that there was nothing she could do, so the two of them had to go back to the village first and ask if there were any other clues from others.
But when they arrived at the village, they heard the sound of a woman crying, and the two hurried over to see that a group of people were surrounding a woman who was crying bitterly.
Orion stopped a man and asked, "What's going on?" ”
The man looked scared, and explained to the two: "Just now, there was a big gray-brown bird that flew over and captured!" ”
