Players' NPC boss

"What, do you want information about the elves?"

Herbie tightened his collar calmly, and the smile on his face became forced. Apparently, Herbie thought Blazer had some ulterior motive.

But Blazer couldn't explain that it would be better for Herbie to misunderstand him. If Hebie knew that he was looking for the elves to get information about the Lost Kingdom, then with Hebie's ability, it wouldn't be long before she would dig out all the information about El Dorado and monopolize it.

Herbie is definitely the type to seize every opportunity and negotiate with her "friends." If Herbie knew the information about El Dorado, he would definitely squeeze him out of what he wanted to know bit by bit like a salary, and keep him under his control for a long time.

Therefore, it is safer to keep a distance.

"!"

[Crisis Sense] was suddenly triggered. Blaze grabbed the side of his head and caught the spear thrown towards the gap between his helmet and breastplate.

"Enemy attack!"

The guards immediately tensed up and clenched their weapons. There was a rustling sound in the surrounding grass, and the short green monsters appeared again.

[Goblin Hunting Unit LV20]

[A large-scale hunting unit that is good at throwing spears to hunt prey, and will swarm up to kill the prey when it falls from exhaustion]

"This is a bit troublesome." Herbie immediately closed the curtain. No matter how powerful her mouth was, it could not change the fact that she was just an ordinary person.

Weapons like spears are special. Before humans were blessed, only a few people could use spears to hunt large animals. It can be said to be a BUG weapon.

Fortunately, the arm strength of goblins is not as strong as that of humans, and the power of the spears thrown is limited, and it has no effect on full-body armor like Blaze.

"You protect the cargo and the carriage."

Blaze rushed towards the goblins alone. His agility would greatly increase in the forest, and even the short goblins were not as fast as him. Just like the Goblin reconnaissance troops in front were so proud and carried away when they saw Blaze wearing heavy armor, the Goblin hunting troops also let out sharp jeers.

They raised their spears and rushed forward in a swarm, aiming at Blaze's joints that were not protected by heavy armor and piercing them. Of course, the spear broke.

Blaze clenched his fist and hit one of the goblins in the liver. The shock of cracking bones and exploding internal organs passed through the skin and armor.

The goblin twitched and spurted out a large stream of virtual red cubes, and its body turned into dust and gradually disappeared.

[Unlocked skill: Visceral critical strike]

[In close combat, when attacking the enemy's internal organs, there is a high probability of critical hits and bleeding]

"Well, I got a new skill." After glancing at the skill details, Blaze took half a step back and punched at high speed, giving every goblin around him a hard punch in the heart, liver, etc.

[Skeleton Aesthetics] not only taught him how to appreciate bones, but also provided him with knowledge of biological anatomy. This allowed him to easily find the weakness of the creature and easily trigger [visceral critical strike].

However, the use of this skill is very limited. Even ordinary people now wear armor. The animal hair and subcutaneous fat can absorb the impact of the fist, making it difficult to hit the internal organs.

Only when facing weak enemies like Goblins will the skill be triggered 100% of the time.

"Are there 13 goblins in total?" Blaze picked up the spear on the ground. Even if he used [Soul Capture] to absorb all the souls, it didn't give him much experience points.

That's why group monsters are despised by others. It becomes extremely troublesome for weak monsters to gather in groups, but the experience points they can get are only so little.

But the drops aren't bad.

[Goblin Throwing Spear 1/1]

[Weapons crudely made from flint and branches will become disposable weapons when used by humans or races with higher arm strength, but will cause secondary splash damage]

A total of five of these disposable throwing spears exploded, which slightly alleviated his embarrassment of lack of long-range attacks.

"Sure enough, there are large goblin nests around, maybe even a goblin tribe."

"Goblin tribe?! That's going to be troublesome. There will be big goblins in it, and maybe there are special individuals like shamans who can use magic."

The guards discussed nervously. They had been employed by various transport units all year round and had been to various places. They had their own set of experiences.

Magic... Blazer touched his chin. He actually admired magic, but he was not intelligent enough, and those magic books were just fantasy to him. But I heard that you can increase your intelligence by carrying special accessories, or use accessories that store magic.

However, both of these accessories are quite expensive, and both have a price but no market.

"This guest, do you have anything you want~"

Herbie leaned his upper body out of the window and waved vigorously at Blaze.

Blaze turned around forcefully, and Herbie was like a hound with a keen sense of smell, sniffing his palms frantically not letting go of any suspicious smell.

"Lord the Blessed One, what should we do now?" The guard captain asked Blaze for advice.

"...What do you think?" Blaze believed that he did not have the experience of these guards, so he took the initiative to seek their opinions.

"Goblin nests are fine, they only send out goblins to hunt, but if it's a goblin tribe, it's going to be very troublesome." The captain of the guard had a serious expression, "They have fixed customs, and even raise wild wolves to assist in hunting."

"And the goblin tribe is also a kind of group monster, around LV50. Among them, there will be big goblins around LV20 and goblin shamans around LV30. In rare cases, there will even be special variants of goblin warriors."

Although the goblin race value is very low, the special variants are different. Big goblins are not something that ordinary people can deal with, and goblin warriors need fully armed elite soldiers.

Although the experience points obtained by the blessed are increased, it is a disaster for ordinary people.

"Judging from the equipment of this hunting team, it is most likely the Goblin tribe, and we may be within the territory of the Goblin tribe. If we let the fast-walking ostrich go at full speed, we can reach Balkan City tonight."

"Do you mean that we should abandon the goods?" Blaze understood the subtext of the captain of the guard.

Everyone knows that the real purpose of this transportation is to send the people in the carriage to Balkan City, and the other goods are all decoys. In this case, it is better to simply throw away the goods to avoid more casualties.

"What do you think? Anyway, those goods are irrelevant." Blaze sought advice from Hebi, after all, Hebi is the real master of this caravan.

This is probably not possible.

You can't say that.

Hebi sighed, and the changes in the guards' expressions were clear at a glance. If it was just to escort the goods, these guards would be loyal to their duties in any danger. But knowing that these goods are just decoys, and still unwilling to throw them away when there are hidden dangers, they will have dissatisfaction and negative attitudes.

"Throw away the goods and go full speed."
