Conquest

    Chapter 17 [Staying Scarlet Wasteland]

    The pitiful creature was taken aback, then she immediately hugged and cringed at the red rock.

    Shaar stepped up and soon they crossed the rock, and the pitiful creature finally saw what Goblin looked like.

    From a close look, these guys are really sorry for the frightening notoriety they have on Primal Wildfire. Even at first glance, these Goblin looks a bit ridiculous.

    The whole body is like a frog in a pond after the summer rain. It is covered with green skin, pointed and raised ears, and the wide and thick nose is like a carrot on the face. These guys have no hair or beard and their heads are huge. The body is disproportionately thin, at least from the height of only about 130 centimeters, the ratio of the head to the body is obviously very uncoordinated. These little things are timid and hide behind the rocks, with sharp, short teeth and a strange and eccentric look at Shaar and the pitiful creature.

    Especially for the pitiful creature to feel fresh, these Goblin's arms are long and hang down enough to exceed their knees.

    At first glance, these guys, it's hard to feel fear of these things – first they look slim and then they look poor and dirty.

    Yes, these Goblin are more than beggar than beggar. The guys hiding behind the rock, only one wearing a fairly complete dress, is just a broken sack, and the sack has broken three holes. , the head and arms can be extended from the inside.

    There is also a guy carrying a weapon in his hand. It is the bone of the hind limb of a large animal. The top of the bone is tied with a sharp stone to strengthen the lethality. And this guy has also been nailed into a set of "armor" with some messy things.

    God, what is this armor! Look at the composition of the armor: two pieces of broken copper, a pile of bark, a few bad wood, plus a thing similar to a rope net.

    Pitiful creature Looking at it for a while, some doubt: "These guys are Goblin?"

    "Yes."Shaar nodded.

    "But they don't look terrifying like in the legend."Pitiful creature is very puzzled.

    Shaar smiled: "There is also a strong and weak distinction in Goblin. What you see is a wanderer without a tribe. The real danger is those Goblin tribe. Don't look at a single Goblin weak and timid, but if you meet hundreds of such guys, and they are hungry for days…You will know that they are amazing. ”

    Indeed, as Shaar said, the pitiful creature discovered that the eyes of these things are very similar to a group of wild dogs living in the wild. They are so scared and a bit timid, but they also hide a bit of fierceness and hostility.

    Shaar didn't pay attention to the guys who followed his own dirty, still striding forward. It was only when a few guys got closer, Shaar stood still, stopped to pick up the stone, and threw aloud and threw it toward the guys – every time, Goblin smashed.

    When the sky was a little darker, the pitiful creature found that the Goblin wanderers behind were gone.

    They found a huge skeleton in the wilderness, probably belonging to some kind of large animal, but whether it is a bison or a camel or something, the pitiful creature can't be seen.

    This huge white bone is on the ground, and a pair of huge ribs are well-proportioned. What is amazing is that there is no trace of animal skin on the whole skeleton…Obviously this is not the result of natural decay, but someone has completely removed its flesh and the search is so clean.

    When I got closer, the pitiful creature saw a trace of a dense tooth on the skeleton.

    "It's Goblin, obviously it's only Goblin who can get the meat so clean."Shaar pulled up a bone and measured it twice in his hand: "It seems that the death time is no more than ten days, the bones are still very hard, and the water has not completely lost."

    “Why, I feel like you know these things very well?”The pitiful creature looked suspiciously at Shaar.

    Shaar didn't answer this question. Instead, he took out the wolf skin of the bloodthirsty wolf and put it on the skeleton of the animal bone. It was just a natural little tent.

    "We are sleeping here tonight."Shaar made the decision.

    Dinner is roast wolf meat – there is some meat of the bloodthirsty wolf. Although the wolf is a bit sour, it is very tough and hard to bite, but the pitiful creature is very strong.

    Because he couldn’t help complaining about the unhealthy wolf meat. Throughout the night, he sat next to the campfire and bite the wolf meat, but he clearly felt the surrounding wilderness. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were staring at themselves, those 觊觎With greed, hunger, fierceness, and timidity in his eyes.

    Even, as if he had clearly heard the sound of a screaming "sweeping" from the dark wilderness. There are even some of the sounds of awkward molars that make the pitiful creature a bit creepy.

    theyThey are peeking at us. ”Pitiful creature has a heart to remind this big-eyed hillbilly, this hillbilly seems to be very alert.

    "Sure.Shaar hugged his head and lie on the bone. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the fire: "One on the left, two on the right, one on the front and back, and some movement in the distance…"

    Having said that, he turned over and faced the pitiful creature: "Do not worry, they will not come to us for the time being. Goblin is very timid, they are a group of bile creatures, and they must be courageous when the number reaches a certain level. Goblin's standard is that for two human warriors, there must be more than twenty Goblin warriors to win an overwhelming victory. Goblin's brains are generally not too clever, and the criteria for judging their affairs are simply surprising: there are warriors with weapons and civilians without weapons. Fortunately, you are wearing leather, I am holding an axe, so these guys treat us as human warriors. Therefore, they will definitely wait for more than twenty to get an attack. ”

    ‘How?’Pitiful creature Do not believe: "If you have to wait for so long for two human warriors, why do I still hear that many caravans will also be attacked by Goblin?"

    "That is a rumor."Shaar is very disdainful: "On the Primal Wildfire, rumors are always the most popular thing. In fact, Goblin is not terrifying as you think…Although they are also annoying, at least not legendary terrifying. Most of the legends about how Goblin is terrifying are made by humans. In particular, as far as I know, many of the legends about terrifying on Primal Wildfire are deliberately made by some large merchants. In this way, everyone is afraid of the dangers on Primal Wildfire. Everyone is afraid to take this trade route. Only they dare to form a caravan trade! Hmmm

    ButI heard that these Goblin would grab people, then eat them, grind the bones into powder, braid the fur into a blanket, and smash the fat into oil…" The teeth of the pitiful creature are fighting.

    "These may be true, anyway, for them, human beings are aliens. And are we humans not treating cattle and sheep like this? What is unusual. ”Shaar yawned: "But the truth is that Goblin rarely attacks humans with armed men. There are indeed a lot of humans who died in Goblin in Primal Wildfire, but most of them are those who are daring, holding their luck, wanting to make a fortune, and taking the risk to take the goods through the small caravan of Primal Wildfire. These caravans have no money to hire. Those Mercenary protections, as a result, once Goblin is encountered, naturally there is only a bad luck. ”

    "But you said that Goblin has to wait for two people to attack for so long…"

    "I am talking about 'warrior', you stupid."Shaar shook his head: "Goblin is very daring to attack human civilians. But now in their view, we are human warriors! understand? We bring weapons, they treat us as adventurers and Mercenary teams. The land Elf on Primal Wildfire has suffered from the loss of many human adventurer experts, so they have learned to be cautious. If we don't have a weapon, they have already caught up! ”

    But,

    "Don't worry, it's just the edge of the Goblin site. There aren't any big Goblin tribes around, so we have to have twenty Goblin fighters to deal with us, I'm afraid I have to wait a long time. Those wandering Goblin dare not provoke us, you sleep peacefully…I can understand more than you here, rest assured, even if I am no longer, I will not make fun of my life. ”Shaar rolled over.

    "…" pitiful creature lay for a while, the terrifying sounds brought by the cold wind in the wilderness still make her fear, for a while, after all, I can't help it: "I…Can I rely on you near? This…Well, it’s still a bit cold here. ”

    Shaar didn't say anything, the pitiful creature waited for a while, and finally took the initiative to get together and lay down beside Shaar. There is still a bit of earthy smell on this hillbilly body, but the feeling of heat is as if the pitiful creature is solid.

    Of course, more importantly, his perverted aesthetics make the pitiful creature not have to worry about this hillbilly being indecent.
