Soul Echo

The goblins were eliminated, and the guard Captain tried to lead people to find the whereabouts of the goblin tribe, but unfortunately could not find them, and could not kill them all.

Zhong Ye took off the leaves on the roadside and wiped off the bloodstains left on the great sword. To be honest, those goblins do have several points of resemblance to humans, and they show it in the face of despair and death. The fear of a man can indeed make one feel pity.

But Zhong Ye only thinks that they are only hostile to human beings. If there is no protective power, they will definitely kill human beings, and they cannot have sympathy for them.

The road ahead has been cleared, and the caravan continues to set off, but this time, people no longer have the laid-back mentality they had when they left Serdica.

It is autumn now, and autumn in Thrace and Macedonia has always been chilly, and there is no warmth.

Although the caravan was delayed for a while on the road, it still arrived at the scheduled camp shortly after nightfall.

First they raised the campfire, then lit the torches, and hurriedly set up the camp.

The mercenaries and caravan escorts take turns feeding, in case the monsters attack the camp at night.

Many of the night-only monsters are stronger than the day-active monsters, and with the cover of night, they can do a lot of damage to the camp if they attack.

"ao wu ——"

Just as the moon was full, the child suddenly heard the wolf howling, and the child who was traveling with the caravan suddenly hid in the arms of his parents and elders.

The sound came from quite a distance, but these children knew how terrifying wolves were far better than the children who had been living in the city.

In this era, the children of the ordinary person's family are all obedient, because only obedient children will not die because of doing stupid things.

After dinner, Zhong Ye walked into the jungle with a big sword. The mercenaries didn't dare to ask, and the caravan guards ignored it.

Not long after that, a short scream of pain came from the depths of the jungle, attracting people's attention.

They looked at the darkness quietly, and soon saw a silhouette walking slowly into the fire-lit area, dragging a wild wolf who didn't know whether to live or die.

"No wound..."

A guard looked at the wild wolf in Zhong Ye's hand when he passed by, immediately felt a chill in his neck, and unconsciously raised his hand to touch it. .

Not with weapons, but with bare hands...

Zhong Ye dragged the wolf corpse, walked to the campfire under the surprised eyes of a group of people, looked around and asked. Said: "Is there anyone here who can skin it? I want to roast this wolf. I don't need a wolf skin. Help me to peel off the wolf skin. The skin is yours."

The wolf skin is not very valuable. , but no one will refuse extra money.

After Zhong Ye spoke, several people responded immediately, but their peeling speed was too slow, so Zhong Ye asked them to guide and do it himself.

Since the awakening of the 'Transcendent Source', his appetite has become larger and larger, and the dry food he carries can't fill his stomach at all. In the future, when he travels in the wild, hunting rations will become the norm.

The wolf meat is not delicious. Although the blood was drained in advance in order to peel the skin, the meat quality was still not good. It tasted like wood and had a sour taste.

Others watched in horror as Zhong Ye stuffed half of the wolf into his stomach, but his stomach was still flat, and they didn't know where he had eaten all the meat.

Tonight it was not yet Zhong Ye's turn to watch the night. After he had eaten and drank enough, he fell asleep on the back of autumn.

…………

A few days after leaving Serdica, the caravan came to a transfer point on the Shang Road. This is a small mountain village with few people in the village. They will leave the village, and the daily necessities they need to live are brought by the caravan.

There are several empty houses in the mountain village, which are reserved for caravans.

The caravan will stay here for half a day to replenish fresh water and do some business with the villagers.

Zhong Ye did not follow the caravan into the mountain village. After a few days of getting along, everyone in the caravan understood what Zhong Ye wanted to do.

——Maybe I'm hungry again!

Walking through the mountains, Zhong Ye looked around for the monster.

He's not far from being a soul fragment from leveling up, and he'll be able to level up with a little more effort, and he's really hungry.

Just soon, he stopped.

Looking at the scratches on the tree trunk in front of him, Zhong Ye crouched down and measured the height with his hands.

Then, he pushed aside the grass and saw the footprints hidden under the grass.

Small footprints are densely packed, extending far into the distance.

If you look closely, you can find that the tree trunks and grasses along the road have been chopped down.

"About one meter tall, they form groups, and they can use weapons..."

Zhong Ye brows slightly wrinkle, got up and looked back, and found that this place was far from the mountain village not far.

What happened?

I only met a goblin once a few days ago, and now I have found traces left by a suspected goblin.

Although goblins are indeed widely distributed in the Western Continent, and there are also a lot of them, but they are not so many, right?

The prey plan probably couldn't go on, Zhong Ye shook the head and went back the same way.

He heard that the mountain village is the transit point of this trade route. If the mountain village falls, the trade route will lose a fresh water supply point. After all, he is now employed by them, so he should remind me... ...

"What did you say? Goblins? And maybe a large group of goblins?"

The caravan leader who was talking to the village chief heard the news, his eyelids jumped, "The news Is it true?"

The village chief shook his head and said solemnly: "Impossible! The hunters in our village have been cleaning up the surrounding safety hazards. If there are goblins, they should have discovered it long ago."

The servant who came to deliver the news was brow beaded with sweat, "This, this news was told to us by Mister Zhong, he found the trace of the goblin when he was hunting, the hunters in the village still didn't believe it, and now he has taken him to find the trace The place is now."

"What did Mister Zhong say?" The caravan leader frowned, "That seems to be true... Mr. Luke, you should prepare in advance."

Outstanding strength, modesty and politeness, coupled with his approachable temperament, the people in the caravan trust Zhong Ye for some reason.

Who is Mister Zhong? Why do you all seem to trust him?

The village chief blinked his eyes in confusion and got up from his chair, "I still don't think there are any goblins around the village, Mr. Langdon, it's not your first time in our village, you should know The ability of those great boys in our village, the hunters in our village are the best hunters in the surrounding area!"

Seeing the angry look of the village chief, the caravan leader also stood up and shook his head slightly. "I'm not arguing with you. When they come back, things will be decided."

After finishing speaking, sighed, the caravan leader left with his servants thoughtfully.

The village chief looked at the back of the caravan leader, and felt at a loss for a while.

Is it possible that there really are goblins nearby?

After the caravan leader left the village chief's house, he came to the entrance of the village and stopped to look outside the village.

Now he has no time to deal with other affairs. This mountain village is a transit point for trade routes, and it is also a place for passing caravans to rest and replenish fresh water. More than one trade route intersects here.

Goblins are quite terrifying creatures, if they are not dealt with in time, maybe there will be no problem this year, but in a few years, goblins may multiply enough to take this mountain village down.

A good goblin is a goblin who does not appear within the range of human activities, and a good goblin is a dead goblin... These words are all summed up with human life.

The caravan leader didn't wait too long, but in just over an hour, he saw several silhouettes in the distance.

When he saw them, the caravan leader was stunned, feeling that something bad was going to happen!

When the servants came to report the letter, Zhong Ye had just set off with the hunters, but not long after, they came back, indicating that the place where the goblins left their traces is not far from the village - go and meet up. It takes time to turn back.

How far can it be in a few dozen minutes' walk?
