Mercenaries and Adventurers

Zhao Ji led the five goblins who were chasing him to go downstream along the stream. From time to time, he could find a goblin body covered in mud that had been dead for a while, which made the five goblins who were chasing him The goblin was startled and frightened.

After the goblin that Zhao Ji killed at the beginning was finally found, two goblins in the goblin team finally couldn't stand this cruel torture. They felt that the human they were chasing was not possible. The terrifying existence that was killed quietly landed while the three goblins in front were hurriedly chasing it, then turned around and ran away.

Zhao Ji observed the remaining goblins under a bush not far away, and soon noticed that two goblins were missing from the team. And the strong Goblin, who was looking for humans everywhere, also found that two of his men had escaped, which made him howl angrily.

Zhao Ji rushed to follow the goblin leader before he turned around to find his fleeing subordinate.

Now, the position of hunter and prey has finally returned to the track that Zhao Ji felt was normal.

Zhao Ji no longer cared about hiding his figure in the bushes. While running, he tried his best to endure the pain from his left buttock.

Where can the two escaped goblins go? They can only return to the water hole where they were before. Because only from here can the goblins easily find their way back to the settlement.

Zhao Ji rushed ahead of the other three goblins, and was the first to spot the two fleeing goblins. And the two goblins were even more frightened when they heard the sound of running behind them and the sound of their bodies scratching against the bushes.

Zhao Ji saw that among the two goblins, one of them was the goblin whose finger was cut off in the previous battle. Apart from distinguishing the body shape, he really couldn't tell which one was which just by looking at the face.

Seeing the humans chasing after them, the two goblins planned to fight desperately. They tightly held the wooden sticks in their hands and waved them wildly at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji judged that the three goblins might have a little more time to catch up, so he slowly approached the two goblins who were going to fight, breathing heavily, while looking for a place to defeat the enemy with one blow.

At a distance of about three meters from the two goblins who were close together, Zhao Ji unloaded his backpack, drew out his long sword, and let the tip of the long sword hit the soil on the ground.

Slowly rotating around the two goblins, Zhao Ji stared closely at the two nervous goblins.

Suddenly, Zhao Ji roared. The roar scared the two goblins to howl, not only waving the arm holding the stick, but even waving their free hand in Zhao Ji's direction vigorously.

Zhao Ji took advantage of the short time when the two goblins were enveloped in panic, and quickly jumped towards the side of the goblins. After closing the distance, the long sword in Zhao Ji's right hand came down fiercely. It stabbed towards the side of the goblin.

"Die!"

The long sword was stably pierced by Zhao Ji from the goblin's side ribs into the goblin's chest.

After confirming that the sword smashed the organs in the goblin's chest, Zhao Ji followed the movement of his body and drew out the long sword. The long sword and the goblin's ribs made a brief but intense frictional collision.

The other goblin hastily turned around and hit Zhao Ji with both hands. After Zhao Ji's body stopped, he flew up and kicked the goblin's body with his right foot.

Heh, who can this goblin hit with his short arms and stick? Zhao Ji's kick was longer than its arm and wooden club.

This kick sent the goblin flying two meters away. Zhao Ji took advantage of the goblin rolling on the ground, unable to distinguish east, west, north, south, and chaos, raised his long sword, rushed forward, and stabbed the goblin in the head , which killed it.

But just when Zhao Ji wanted to take a break, there was the sound of whining belts passing through the air from behind.

Hearing the sound that made his scalp tingle, Zhao Ji immediately pounced again and dodged to hide in the bushes on the side.

The pebbles fired anyway. It roared into the bushes, but there was no human scream, it seemed that the human avoided it.

The three goblins in the distance rushed towards this place in a hurry to see if the two deserters were still alive, and searched for traces of the human being by the way. Just as the three goblins were walking towards here, Zhao Ji jumped out from the nearby bushes, grabbed the backpack that was on the ground, and then crouched down and ran into the bushes.

Seeing that the human being was so bold and dared to come back to pick up things again, the tall goblin turned the sling even more angrily, and fired several pebbles towards the surrounding bushes in succession.

Woo hoo, snap! Woo hoo, snap! Woo hoo, snap! Woo hoo, snap!

As a result, none of these bombs hit anything other than the branches of the bushes.

Immediately afterwards, the same pebble flew out from a bush very close to them, and this stone hit the tall goblin squarely in the face, smashing one of the goblin's fangs. Several.

"Wow! Clam! Wow! Da-da!" The angry little goblin leader cursed everything around him in their unclear native language.

And Zhao Ji appeared in the distance after a while, looked straight at the three angry goblins, and waved to them.

The three goblins chased after them all at once.

This time, Zhao Ji lured three goblins to chase after him from a distance. Once he saw the tall goblin waving the sling, Zhao Ji immediately bent down and hid himself, preventing the other goblins from aiming at him.

In this way, the two parties chased and fled, and kept walking towards the west. Zhao Ji lured them to the very tall hill.

Zhao Ji made a trap on the top of the hill, and he planned to clean up the three goblins around this trap.

You can't climb straight up the hill in front of the other party, because the bushes on this tall hill are not dense, and they can't hide Zhao Ji's human figure.

Therefore, Zhao Ji climbed around the hill, using the hill to block the opponent's attack route.

The three goblins were overjoyed. That human, who looked like the most cunning and strongest beast in the forest, was choosing a dead end. Although the hills are tall, there is no way to escape from them. And if the three goblins occupy the high point of the hill, no matter where the human escapes down the hill, they will be hit by the tall goblin's sling.

The reason why the human being was able to avoid the attack of the sling before was not because it was inaccurate, but because that nasty human being always used dense bushes to hide his figure. Soon, that human will die.

Both sides move around the hills, crawling upwards and circling the hills at the same time.

Zhao Ji moved towards the top of the hill while dodging possible goblin attacks. As for the goblins, among the three of them, the tall goblin played a clever trick. It made the two goblins make noises while chasing the fleeing humans. And it climbed straight to the top of the hill. Of course, it had to keep a close eye on the human, so that the human could not discover its intentions. Because once a human discovers that it sneakily climbed up to the top of the hill first, that human may immediately flee to the bottom of the hill. In this way, the opponent will escape its sling attack distance and accurate hitting range.

The tall goblin secretly used the low bushes on the hill to cover his figure, while climbing straight to the top of the hill.

In fact, Zhao Ji had already discovered the whereabouts of the tall goblin, but he planned to take a gamble. He bet that the tall goblin might fall down because he was careless and missed the trap on the top. Of course, Zhao Ji also made a second plan. If the trap didn't work, he would directly turn around and kill one of the two chasing goblins, and use the goblin's body as a shield to block it. Flying pebbles.

For this reason, Zhao Ji secretly slowed down his pace, shortening the distance between him and the goblin who was pretending to be chasing after him, and pretended not to know that he had seen through the goblin's crude strategy.

In fact, Zhao Ji was quite annoyed. When he went out today, he didn't bring his spear and shield. If he had put on the shield, he would have killed these goblins with poor abilities long ago. There is no need to spend such a little thought on dealing with these monsters.

Of course, if the agreed caravan can bring his armor box to Doral Forest Village on time in a few days, it will not be easy to put on the armor and kill a dozen goblins. It's just that the goblins who are wearing armor may not be able to run in the wilderness.

There are advantages and disadvantages, but it is still very useful to attack groups of goblins after wearing armor, Zhao Ji judged in his heart.

--------------

Soon, when the two parties were spending their time on this tall hill, the tall goblin who was running after him finally climbed to the top of the hill. It was a little surprised when the top of the hill became so clean It was tidy, but it didn't bother to take a second look, so it took out one of the three remaining pebbles from the animal skin bag at its waist, and stared at the human crawling in the middle of the hill.

But what it didn't expect was that on the top of the tall hill, a trap pit that occupied one-third of the area was silently there. The tall goblin was staring at the humans starting the sling with cobblestones in their hands, while walking a few steps forward slowly, closing the distance between them and the humans.

Just as it moved forward slowly to close the distance to the target according to its usual habits, it stepped on a void with one foot, and its whole body immediately fell towards the place where it stepped on the void.

There was a muffled goblin scream from above. Zhao Ji raised his crouching body and jumped out at any time when he heard it, looked at the top of the hill with a smile, and then pulled out the long sword from his waist and walked towards the hill. The two goblins who were still chasing him were stupid.

In just a short while, Zhao Ji solved the last two goblins and came to the top of the hill.

He didn't put his head directly towards the trap pit, because Zhao Ji heard the intermittent screams of pain coming from the pit.

Zhao Ji found a pebble that had fallen to the ground by the edge of the trap pit. He walked over to pick it up, and then carefully poked his head into the pit.

Zhao Ji retracted his head fiercely, and a pebble flew up from the bottom of the pit with a whoosh, almost hitting Zhao Ji on the forehead. But Zhao Ji had expected it.

After all, the bone spurs at the bottom of the trap pit were not special metal spikes for traps. Unless they hit the deadly part of the creature that fell into it, it would be difficult to cause a fatal injury. Zhao Ji reckoned that the goblin would fight back, so his cautious probing just now just deceived the opponent's few remaining attacking pebbles.

Zhao Ji dragged a goblin to the top of the hill from not far below, came to the edge of the trap, and leaned the upper body of the dead goblin into the pit of the trap.

Sure enough, a pebble hit the head of the dead goblin at an extremely fast speed, and then jumped out of the trap pit.

Zhao Ji tried again, this time, there was no longer a stone-throwing attack at the bottom of the trap hole, but a desperate roar.

Listening to the desperate scream full of emotion, Zhao Ji rubbed his left buttock and laughed: "Eh hehe, hahaha. Ahahahahaha!!!"

"Do what you say, if you say you will be wiped out today, you will be wiped out."

Zhao Ji smiled, and tentatively came to the side of the trap hole again.

No attack.

Zhao Ji took a closer look, the tall goblin in the trap pit was being pierced by two bone spurs in its left leg, and at the same time its right leg was also bent into an angle that was impossible to achieve normally, obviously because of broke. Generally speaking, in an earthen trap pit, the height should not break its leg, but the goblin's luck was obviously at an end. When it fell into the trap, it didn't have a good balance. Unfortunately, when it landed on the ground in a curled posture, it broke completely.

At the same time, Zhao Ji also saw that the animal skin bag on the goblin's waist was already empty, and it obviously had no pebbles to use as a means of attack.

Zhao Ji smiled, throwing a pebble randomly in his hands. The Goblin in the pit couldn't take it anymore. He mustered up his remaining strength, picked up a few broken bones at the bottom of the pit, and threw them at the human. .

Zhao Ji took two steps around the mouth of the pit and dodged the opponent's final counterattack. Then he clenched the stone tightly, with his arms backward, accumulating the strength in his arms, aiming, and throwing!

The goblin only had time to let out a final cry before being smashed in the head by the flying pebbles.

-------------

After the goblin convulsed and died, Zhao Ji also stopped laughing. He fixedly looked at the dead goblin below, and then at the corpse of the goblin killed by him and used as bait at his feet.

He drew out the long sword, and wiped the blood and a little bit of brain matter on the long sword with the clothes around his waist.

It turns out that the blood and brains of goblins are red and white like humans.

After wiping the long sword clean, Zhao Ji stroked the blade of the long sword with his hands, and saw the callus on his right hand. It turned out that he was already a veritable little warrior. A 'false' warrior, but a real one.

‘I don’t know if this battle can be used as the first battle of my first sword? '

'It might work? At least I am satisfied with myself. '

‘It’s decided, your name is—hunting’

"Hunting. Hello!" Zhao Ji said, holding his sword high against the sunset sun in the sky.

The whining wind on the tall hills seemed to be a response from the long sword.
