Mercenaries and Adventurers

Zhao Ji returned to the place where he put the backpack just now. He took out the raincoat, wrapped the heads of five goblins, and put them into the backpack. The corpse of the beast was also put into the backpack, and Zhao Ji hurriedly left here.

He said he was leaving, but Zhao Ji did not leave too far away, instead of fleeing outside in the cold rain, but carefully erased the sunken footprints caused by walking, and hid in a big place where he could see the goblin stronghold. tree roots.

Putting the backpack aside, Zhao Ji lay on the wet ground and brushed some wet fallen leaves on his body. Zhao Ji hid on the ground and carefully observed the location of the battle just now.

After a while, a large wave of goblins surged out from the depths of the sparse forest. They didn't seem to like the weather very much, and they sweared and pushed each other to get to their positions along the way.

The leading goblin leader, who was slightly taller than the other goblins, was furious when he saw the body of the goblin sentinel who had been killed and had his head taken. After Brin, he roared and sent a group of seven or eight goblins to follow the footprints left to find the human who dared to offend them.

It knew that it was a human being, and the raiding team that was recently sent out to steal the scarecrow used for sacrifice was killed by a human being, and its head was cut off provocatively.

That human knew that their colony liked to collect animal heads, so they deliberately cut off the heads of their brave warriors as a provocation. Hmph, there is nothing you can do if you only appear near human settlements, but that human being arrogant and arrogant dared to run into the forest near their settlements, that's what he asked for.

Be sure to sacrifice that human being to the great and ferocious forest spirit that rules the forest, and let the forest spirit entangle his soul and whip his body.

Zhao Ji saw that the little goblin leader sent three teams of seven or eight goblin search teams to search for possible traces of him along the footprints he left when he passed by.

How arrogant, to think that a team of seven or eight goblins could stop him and give other goblins a chance to rush over and deal with him. It's really a refueling tactic. To him, two or three goblins and seven or eight goblins seem to be no different to him. They are all numbers that can be dealt with by thinking of ways.

Compared with ordinary goblins, after the night battle near the Stonetop camp, Zhao Ji knew that the most important thing in the goblin team is the little goblin leader who manages and rules them. There is a small goblin leader, and the fighting power and fighting will of other goblins are very different.

You have to get rid of the little goblin leader first, and after that, you can find a way to defeat the other goblins who are not under the leadership.

After determining the target, Zhao Ji carefully observed the guards around the little goblin leader.

The little goblin leader wearing simple leaf clothes is also tied with some large pieces of wood with tanned vines, which looks like a super simple armor. Zhao Ji wanted to laugh at this stuff, it’s really difficult for those goblins who made this super simple armor, wouldn’t they use the hard bones of animals as defense materials?

Really.

Around the little goblin leader are two spear goblins holding sharp bony spear heads. They don’t have wooden helmet armor on their bodies, so they can only wrap some solid tree vines around the outside of the leaf clothes as a defense. .

This is not bad, the goblin coolies who are dealing with the corpses of the dead goblins around the spear goblins don't even have these vines, they can only wrap half of their bodies in leaf clothes, shivering next to each other Leng Yu went to dig a hole to bury the corpse with the stick in his hand.

Of course, the little goblin chiefs and spear goblins who are higher than them are staying in the stronghold where there is no rain.

Some goblin coolies also want to secretly pick up the wooden spears on the ground as props for their later promotion.

But the long spear goblin who was staring at their work saw them at a glance, and immediately swung his long spear, and beat the goblin coolie who dared to steal something with the long spear wooden pole.

The other goblin coolies laughed and jumped to see the chicken thief's goblin coolie being beaten, as if the coolie was beaten because of their hands.

There are a lot of goblin coolies, but for Zhao Ji, the real opponents are actually three goblins who can only fight. As long as you attack first, kill a spear goblin or directly kill the little goblin leader, you can greatly reduce the difficulty of the battle.

Zhao Ji calculated the speed of the goblin search team who went out to search for him in the rain, and they had to follow the footprints all the way to the place where he stored his cart and launch an attack. Otherwise, those goblins will definitely waste all his supplies. In this kind of sparse forest that is far away from the goblin settlement, Zhao Ji is not confident that he can find enough food to fill him. belly.

Most of the food that could be eaten was taken away by the goblins.

Zhao Ji took out the corpse of the beast from his backpack, and planned to use it as a prop to attract the attention of the goblin coolies. It doesn't matter how long, as long as it can create a short-term one-on-three situation for him.

Getting up from the ground, under the cover of the trunk of the big tree, Zhao Ji prepared the weapon on his body, and then cut the beast's body into two sections with a dagger in the middle, holding one section in each hand, ready to attack.

After breathing properly, Zhao Ji appeared from behind the tree.

As soon as he appeared, he strode towards where the goblins were. The vigilance of the goblins was still there. As soon as Zhao Ji walked quickly, his footsteps were heard by the goblins with their crooked ears.

The panicked roar came from the mouth of the goblin who found Zhao Ji, and all the nearby goblins heard it, and the crackling sound of raindrops hitting the dead leaves couldn't stop the goblin's ugly roar .

Seeing that the goblins on the opposite side were preparing to form formation under the scolding of the little goblin leader, Zhao Ji directly threw the beast corpse in his hand in the direction of the goblin coolies.

There was a sound of swishing twice, followed by the sound of a broken beast body falling to the ground.

The goblin coolies originally thought that humans had launched an attack on them first, but when they lowered their heads, they couldn't look away anymore. The cold weather and rain made the hungry goblin coolies hungry. Now when he sees a large piece of animal meat, the smell of blood is exuding in front of his eyes, and it is even more difficult to resist the temptation.

Originally, there were also goblin coolies who were afraid of the whipping of the little leader, and wanted to bear the pain and ignore the animal meat on the ground. But when the nearest goblin didn't care about the little leader's scolding, the whole goblin rushed up, biting the still tender meat vigorously.

This time, the other goblin coolies can't take it anymore, you are not afraid of being whipped, so what am I afraid of. Without saying anything, the goblin coolies turned their heads and pounced on the beast meat on the ground.

Seeing that his subordinates dared to disobey his orders, the little goblin leader was furious, and was about to go up and beat these damn coolies who didn't obey orders, but the human had pointed a long spear at the three of them who stayed in the dry place. The stronghold rushed over.

---

After Zhao Ji finished throwing the beast meat, he held his spear and rushed towards the three goblins. Time is precious, and the goblin search team who received a warning from a distance will definitely return here. I can kill the little goblin leader who is in charge of the management.

Zhao Ji, who was running fast, was a little erratic with the tip of the long spear he held tightly in his hand, but no matter so much, he directly poked at the little goblin leader who was trying to whip Zhao Ji's head with a stone throwing rope in his hand.

With a pop, Zhao Ji pierced the opponent's shoulder socket with a single shot.

He missed and failed to directly stab the opponent's vitals. Zhao Ji was a little flustered, but he gritted his teeth and continued to charge forward with his spear tightly. The little goblin leader who was pierced through the shoulder socket screamed in pain. After the tip of the spear pierced the goblin's shoulder back and forth, the entire gun barrel also pierced through it until Zhao Ji's left hand hit the opponent.

Zhao Ji didn't stop, and used his superior weight and the weight of the armor and weapons on his body to hit the little goblin leader's body, pushing it out of the goblin stronghold, and ran forward for more than ten meters.

Taking advantage of the time it would take for the two spear goblins to rush over, Zhao Ji released the spear with both hands, grabbed the goblin's head with his left hand, wiped it from the right waist with his right hand, and drew out the dagger to slash at the goblin. neck.

The little goblin leader didn't want to die either, and immediately burst out with a strong desire to survive. He tightly protected his neck with both hands, preventing Zhao Ji from wiping its neck with a dagger.

It's not just the neck that is the key point. The opponent's chest and abdomen are covered by wooden armor, but his head is not protected by a helmet. With a head hammer, Zhao Ji hit the goblin's head hard with the front of the helmet inlaid with iron pieces. head and face.

The smell of the goblin's mouth, which opened its mouth wide and roared, passed into Zhao Ji's nose through the breathing holes on the armor faceplate.

'It stinks, don't they never clean their mouths? ’ Zhao Ji thought of this immediately after smelling the stench.

The stink goes to the stink, but the work in hand has not been left behind. Zhao Ji took advantage of the moment the opponent was knocked unconscious by a head hammer, and directly pierced the dagger deep into the goblin's skull from the eye socket.

He killed the little goblin leader in one shot, and before Zhao Ji could take a breath, there were hurried footsteps and curses from the two spear goblins behind him.

Zhao Ji immediately turned around, and found that the two spear goblins were already rushing towards him with their bone spears, and there was no time to dodge. Also, he didn't know whether the hard bone spear heads would break through the armor on his body, Zhao Ji In an instant, he still chose to believe in the long sword he trusted.

He instantly drew the long sword from his waist, and the acceleration of the long sword's withdrawal directly swung away the two bone spears rushing in front of him.

The wood used for the spear goblin's bone gun seems to be different from the wood used for the wooden spears used by the goblin sentries in the previous stronghold. Zhao Ji's long sword could not split the bone gun's wood. It was broken, but a deep gap was left.

The failure to stab humans seemed to make the two spear goblins very angry. The goblin who was closest to Zhao Ji let go of the weapon in his hand, stepped on his feet, and rushed towards Zhao Ji , seems to be to provide an attack opportunity for the companion.

Zhao Ji would not let it come true. With a wrong footstep, he twisted his waist with force from his legs, and directly slammed into the rushing goblin with his strong armor left shoulder.

When the two collided, there was a sound of broken bones, and it was the goblin who flew out as expected.

Zhao Ji didn't care about the goblin who was knocked into the air, held the sword in both hands, and directly stabbed another spear goblin on the right side of his body.

The goblin took advantage of the opportunity created by his companions, adjusted his attack stance, and stabbed at the humans again with his bone spear.

Zhao Ji under the closed helmet was full of excitement. It seemed that his stabbing long sword was not as long as the opponent's bone spear, and he seemed to be attacked first. However, based on his fighting experience, Zhao Ji boldly predicted that although the opponent's bone spear hit him first, it would not be possible to penetrate his armor without a bone spear with sufficient distance to accelerate the sprint.

Anyway, the armor he hired craftsmen to make with thick cowhide cannot be broken by these crude and poorly made simple weapons.

With a bang, the bone gun was firmly pressed against the center of Zhao Ji's chest. Under the armor was Zhao Ji's chest, and the inside of the chest was his heart.

It's just that the shot with insufficient power was firmly on Zhao Ji's body, and failed to cause him any harm. Zhao Ji flicked his right arm holding the sword, moved his feet, and removed the bone spear on his chest.

Hold the sword in both hands and continue to stab forward as you walk. The Goblin has no protection against the sharp sword. The long sword also stabbed in the middle of its chest.

Under the goblin's chest, there was still a beating heart. It's just that the heart was directly broken and penetrated by the hard and heavy metal.

Zhao Ji's sword directly pierced the goblin's chest, and rushed out from the back rubbing the spine.

Seeing that he was killed by a sword, Zhao Ji raised his foot and kicked the opponent's abdomen, and when he kicked the goblin out, he just drew out the long sword in his hand.

Turning around, the goblin who had been knocked into the air before had at least one broken hand. When he got up and saw his companion killed, he still waved his unbroken arm and hit the humans.

‘These goblin warriors are really tenacious. '

"Okay!" Seeing the opponent fighting so tenaciously, Zhao Ji shouted, swung his long sword with all his strength, and chopped off the opponent's arm with a single blow. Then he slashed horizontally with his sword, cutting off the spear goblin's neck.

The head flew up, and then fell on the rotting fallen leaves wet by the rain. On the solitary head, the eyes of the goblin warrior were still wide open, glaring ahead.

With the long sword back in its sheath, Zhao Ji drew the dagger and spear from the dead goblin leader behind him. Raising his spear again, Zhao Ji strode towards the goblin coolie who only cared about biting the meat.

Hearing the sound of human footsteps approaching quickly, some vigilant goblin coolies raised their heads and looked at Zhao Ji. The three goblin warriors who died not far behind Zhao Ji terrified the goblin coolies. They barely pulled out the sticks at their waists covered with mud and soil, and roared to threaten humans.

The deterrence of a few goblin coolies is futile. Humans are not beasts, so how could they be frightened by the numbers.

After Zhao Ji rushed over, he stabbed one of the most marginal goblins to death with a single shot, then pulled out the tip of the gun and slammed it on several other goblin coolies.

Zhao Ji still knocked down the two goblins while they bent down to avoid them, or raised their wooden sticks to resist. Then he stabbed with a gun and pierced the stomach of the only standing goblin.

With a slight swipe of the gun, the goblin's intestines flowed out from the ruptured belly.

The spear was handed over to his left hand, Zhao Ji drew out his long sword with his right hand, and slashed directly from top to bottom. One goblin's head was cut off with one sword, and the other goblin was sprawled on the ground in fright.

Zhao Ji sent the long sword again, piercing the goblin's head from the mouth on the ground, the sword went in from the mouth, and came out from the back of the head.

The two goblins who were still eating animal meat on the ground quietly lay on their stomachs and crawled on the ground to avoid being killed by humans while Zhao Ji was cleaning up other goblin coolies who dared to resist.

Seeing them crawling far away, Zhao Ji threw the two weapons in his hand one after another. The long sword hunt directly nailed one crawling goblin coolie to the ground, and the other goblin coolie was thrown The long spear shot accurately penetrated the head.

Exhaling a breath, Zhao Ji's rapid breathing relieved the fatigue caused by the fierce battle just now.

Time was running out, and the goblin search team in the distance was returning with all their strength. Zhao Ji picked up the spear and sword, and returned directly to the big tree where the backpack was placed just now, preparing to avoid the team that returned first. He would make a slight arc, starting with the fastest and furthest goblin search party.

Today will be a day to kill as many as you can. On the contrary, this cold rain helped Zhao Ji a lot.

The goblins probably couldn't go out to find food because of the rain, which led to the fact that many low-status goblins may not have eaten today.

You can't fight when you're hungry. And most of the search teams are dominated by goblin coolies.
