My Magic Age

The moss makes the road very slippery, and the rock formations of this generation contain a lot of water, which seeps out from the cracks.

This section of the cave became very wet and cold. A drop of water fell from the top of the cave and landed on Jijiru's head with a "tick" sound, making him shiver. His face looked very bad and his body looked very weak. His hands were covered with bandages, and he timidly followed the orc warrior to guide us.

Generally, goblins live near places with water in rock formations, because there are bryophytes that they depend on for survival. Usually, goblins mainly collect moss from these rock walls. This kind of light brown moss is considered underground. At the bottom of the world's food chain, there also lives a kind of worms with a faint fluorescent light all over their bodies. They are the main source of meat for goblins.

Therefore, there will always be a goblin tribe gathered near rock formations with underground water. Often the size of these goblin tribes is closely related to how many goblins the moss on the cave wall can support.

Goblins have become accustomed to living in a dark world without light. In underground caves, the fuel that can make fire is actually just some dry tree roots, but for goblins, these roots are also materials for building shacks, so, For goblins, they have become accustomed to living in the dark, and their noses are far more sensitive than their eyes.

This is a fork in the road that leads from the altar to the blood pool that stores demon blood. We are slowly exploring forward. Originally, orc warriors were sent to clean it before, but according to Jijilu's intelligence, there seems to be something hidden here. There is a very large goblin tribe.

There was a "pop", and the cave was extremely quiet. The faint sound fell into my ears, like a stone hitting the enemy.

The orc warrior who was walking at the front suddenly stopped at the corner. Then, he quickly raised the ebony shield in his hand above his head, and heard the continuous sound of "puff, puff, puff, puff, puff" again. In the darkness in front of the cave, Blow darts kept flying over. The orc warriors held up their shields to protect their bodies, trying to rush over and pull out the goblins hiding in the dark.

Jijilu, who was following the orc warrior, was so frightened that he ran back and shouted at me: "Lord Jijia, in front is the sentry of the Danma tribe..."

Before it could finish shouting, she was kicked to the ground by Kalancso. She quickly took off the crossbow behind her and held it in her hand. She moved forward against the wall and said to the The soldier shouted: "Don't be impulsive, be careful of traps."

I stood there, gathering a shimmer of light in my hand, and drew a simple magic pattern array.

"Glimmer Illumination" is the simplest light magic I found in the library a few days ago. However, it also belongs to the category of general magic and requires pure light magic elements to be used. Originally, I just wanted to I tried it, but I didn’t expect that some nodes actually stored light magic elements, so I learned this light magic.

(General magic: The magic pattern array has a simple structure and consumes very little magic power, but it requires pure magic elements.)

The magic circle condensed a vague magic line, which connected between my fingers and the shimmering light. I could clearly feel that the shimmering light was fluttering with my mind. I controlled this A small group of light floated forward. The small group of light was very soft, filling the dark cave with dim light. That area was exactly what Kalancso could see in front of him.

As expected, under the illumination of the "low light illumination technique", a huge net on the top of the cave wall, if the trader first saw it, it would be like this.

Under the effect of the lighting technique, three goblins holding long blowpipes stood on the protruding stone platform at the top of the stone wall, looking at the dim light floating on the top of the cave with horrified expressions. Their sights were all blocked. The light attracted him.

Kalancso raised his powerful crossbow, aimed at one of the goblins, and pulled the trigger. A short-tailed crossbow arrow streaked across the sky like a thin black line, and shot into the skull of one of the goblins. Its body was The huge inertia brought him to fall backwards. The sharp crossbow arrow dragged the short goblin and pierced deeply into the stone wall.

The two female beast warriors behind her held strong crossbows and followed Kalantso's movements. They also pulled the triggers at the same time in a well-trained manner. The two short-tailed crossbow arrows nailed the goblin to the stone wall with the same accuracy.

In the orc tribe, beast female warriors are usually good at throwing stones and bows and arrows, so they are also very good at using crossbows. According to the previous battle plan, this kind of goblin scout on the sniper post is the responsibility of the five beast female warriors in the team. .

Our team passed under the raised stone platform. The bodies of the three goblins on the raised platform were still twitching, and black and purple blood was flowing down the stone wall.

Kalantso pointed the crossbow arrow in his hand at Jijilu's forehead and said in a hateful voice: "Be smarter next time. If you let me think that you deliberately didn't remind us that there is a sentry ahead, I will nail you to the wall!" "

Jijiru was so frightened that his legs weakened and he sat down on the ground, then rolled and crawled to the front to lead the way.

The orc warrior who was walking at the front put the wooden shield beside him, casually pulled out the poisonous sting pierced on the breastplate, held a torch in one hand, and smiled at the goblin Jijilu, who was so scared that Jijilu squatted down. On the ground, he held his head and howled. The exaggerated and miserable sound, as if he had been beaten severely, could be heard far away in the quiet and dark cave.

…

Jijilu led us across a three-meter-wide and bottomless crack, turned a few corners, and found a new tunnel entrance on the back of a low rocky depression. The entrance of this cave was only one meter high and extended diagonally upward. I used the "twilight illumination technique" to explore it.

The faint magic light ball floated into the cave, and after several turns, it disappeared. It seemed that there was a long way to go.

Because the entrance of the cave was too small, the orc warriors could not walk at all and could only crawl inside. The tauren Luka looked at the one-meter-wide entrance with despair... His shoulders were too broad. To him, this cave was more like a dog hole. He couldn't crawl through it at all, so I asked him to take two orc warriors to guard the entrance of the tunnel. I was worried that once the entrance of the tunnel was blocked or controlled by the goblins, our retreat would be gone.

Kalancuo and I were worried that the Pandawang goblin leader Jijilu would play tricks on us, so we decided not to let the strong orc warriors open the way in front.

Kalancuo tied Jijilu up with a strong rope, holding the other end of the rope in her hand, kicked Jijilu into the cave, and then she followed him in.

The beastwoman warriors were smaller in stature, and it was easier for them to crawl in the one-meter-high cave than the orc warriors. I was worried that Kalancuo would be in danger, so I followed her.

The ground of this passage was very smooth and flat. It was obvious that the goblins had dug it out, and a simple smudge was set up at the entrance of the cave, making the entrance look like it was opened on the back of the stone wall. If it weren't for Jijilu leading the way, it would be difficult to find it.

Jijilu walked in front, and Kalancuo held a short spear in his other hand, with the tip of the short spear pierced into his buttocks. As long as he dared to move slightly, the spear in Kalancuo's hand would definitely pierce through his buttocks and come out of his mouth without hesitation.

This is a tunnel that extends upward in a spiral shape, like a staircase in an ivory tower. However, for us humans, the entrance is too low and we can only crawl inside. If someone blocks the way back, we, who are squeezed in the cave, can't even retreat back.

However, the ventilation of this narrow tunnel is quite good. We crawl inside and it doesn't feel too stuffy. The traces of the chisel on the stone wall are vivid. After we crawled up only a hundred meters, a cave suddenly appeared in front of us.

At this time, Jijilu hid at the edge of the cave entrance and refused to move forward. The cave entrance was pitch black, and we didn't know how big the cave was. However, some gnawing and rustling sounds came from the cave. It seems that we have found the right place. There is a huge goblin tribe hidden here.

Another "twilight illumination spell" was thrown out, and the ball of light followed my will, floating upward like a hydrogen balloon. The light changed from weak to bright. Under the dim illumination spell, I and I finally saw the whole picture here. This cave is not a huge circle, but a long and narrow tunnel. On the stone wall of this wide tunnel, the goblins dug many nests like beehives.

This goblin tribe is not like the goblin tribe we met before, which built huts made of tree roots on the ground.

When the magic light rose slowly, there were countless densely packed caves on the stone wall. Several pairs of green eyes emerged from those caves, all looking at the floating magic light balls in horror.

The cave walls were all dug out nests, extending into the darkness. Because there was not enough light here, the specific number of goblins in the cave could not be seen. It was only roughly estimated that the number of this huge goblin group was no less than 5,000. I didn't expect that in just three years, a large tribe would be secretly developed here.

Kalancuo and I looked at each other in horror. This place is not too far from our warehouse where we store golden apple wine and wheat flour. If these goblins really start to spy on my warehouse, it will take only a few days to open a tunnel. It is very simple. The reason is that their population base is too large.

We still need to investigate the specific situation of this tribe and then arrange the most appropriate battle plan. The two most agile orc warriors groped along the edge of the cave wall to the left and right sides. They almost ran wildly in this cave full of goblins, trying to find out where the end of the cave on both sides is.

The goblins of this tribe found our existence, but there was no panic. They did not send messengers to understand the situation. From the moment they found us, they began to gather goblin warriors. In the cave of the stone wall, strong goblins kept climbing down from the cave wall quickly. They basically had some jingling copper pieces and some simple bark armor on their bodies.

These green monkeys held a bunch of scrap copper and iron, blades, sticks, blowpipes, and a variety of wooden bows and arrows in their hands, and kept screaming. At the beginning, there were dozens of people gathered, and then there were hundreds of people, and then it was a black mass of goblin warriors.

Soon, the two orc warriors sent out to investigate returned and brought me a very favorable news for us: this cave turned out to be a long and narrow life and death tunnel. The orc warrior who explored to the left walked out for only two hundred meters and groped to the end of the cave. The orc warrior who explored to the right ran out for nearly a kilometer before he found that the cave walls and caves gradually decreased and finally stopped there.

In this way, the entire goblin tribe is like a huge pocket. If we completely seal the exit, these huge goblin tribes will become turtles in a jar.

Kalancuo pulled the rope in her hand, and the goblin Jijilu tied to the other end of the rope was pulled to her feet. When Jijilu found that the orc female leader was the one who really decided its life and death, Jijilu crawled at her feet and tried to kiss her leather boots.

Kalancuo kicked Jijilu away with disgust. Kalancuo's boot print was clearly printed on Jijilu's face, and one side of his face was swollen.

A sharp sword was pressed against Jijilu's throat, and a trace of blood came out from the tip of the sword. Kalancuo stared at Jijilu coldly and asked, "How many tunnels have these green monkeys from the Danma tribe dug to connect to other caves?"

Jijilu had been completely defeated by Kalan, and he was very worried that he would continue to be beaten, because Kalancuo had told him before: If Jijilu hesitated in answering her questions, he would be beaten by her.

Jijilu, who had been beaten black and blue, dared not hesitate at all. He said without thinking, "No, I swear there is only this one."

Kalancuo asked him again, "Really, there is no more, maybe there are some other secret passages you don't know about?"

Jijilu immediately patted his chest and assured, "No, no, no, this kind of... this kind of secret tunnel connecting caves is difficult to dig through. It requires luck. The leader of the Danma tribe is very familiar with me. They live here because of this secret tunnel, because they can find food by walking down the tunnel here!"

A plan was brewing in my heart. We simply ignored the goblin warriors who continued to gather not far away.

I asked Kalancuo to send someone to notify the tauren Luka and the other two orc warriors guarding the other end of this artificially dug tunnel. As long as there are goblins crawling out of the tunnel, they will all be stabbed to death with spears. This tunnel, which looks like a dog hole, can firmly guard the entrance of the tunnel as long as there are two orc warriors standing on both sides of the tunnel exit with spears in their hands.

... Stab to death every goblin that crawls out.

I also specifically told the tauren Luka that if there are too many goblins rushing out, we might as well find some big rocks to block the cave entrance, leaving only a gap for the goblins to crawl out, so that it would be more convenient to hunt the goblins.

The tauren Luka is a very stable warrior and should carry out my arrangements meticulously.

And our entire team of 19 people is heading to the right along the stone wall of this cave, preparing to quickly reach a place without caves and control the largest exit of this goblin tribe.

At this time, the goblin warriors, who had gathered nearly a thousand people, stood fifty meters away from us. The noisy goblin language sounded like a strange buzzing sound in the cave. Then, some goblins holding wooden bows and arrows suddenly gathered at the front of the entire goblin team. They lined up in a long row, fifty meters away, and shot arrows at us from a distance.

The orc warriors in the team held their shields in their well-trained right hands, forming a shield wall to protect me, Kalancuo, and ten warriors holding crossbows. We followed the wall and quickly headed for the exit of the cave.

The goblins who had gathered together found that we were fleeing without a fight, and they immediately became bolder. The goblin archers standing in front of them threw wooden arrows one after another. Because the number of archers was very large, the wooden arrows shot over were dense like rain.

And the goblin warriors who were poorly equipped howled loudly, raised their broken copper and iron swords high, and rushed over together...
