Chapter 556: Goblins all over the mountains

Jack really couldn't see the problem with the painting, but he knew someone had just tried to read his mind!

The entire race of shapeshifters are experts in this area, how could he be fooled by it? When the consciousness just started to try this, Jack found him at the first time!

Jack didn't know who it was, and he didn't have the courage to read the other party's mind in reverse. Maybe it was a shapeshifter who didn't know the rules, or it could be a reckless or ill-intentioned spellcaster - although Jack didn't think there was anything worthy of ill-intentions in him.

But he understood one thing very well: in this case, the most effective way is to report to the lord! This can at least prove that the other doppelgangers, at least he himself, were not involved!

Quest finally found them a home where they can move freely in any form without worrying about the other races' disdain, he doesn't want to be driven out!

Jack casually threw the things on his body into the bushes beside him. He now had to speed up to report the news. His figure became taller and taller as he ran wildly, and the facial features gradually blurred, but instead he took bigger steps and ran faster than the halflings.

Then... with a loud "bang", Jack stepped into a trap disguised with grass, and the rope on his ankle suddenly tightened. Jack felt dizzy, and when he came to his senses, the earth was hanging upside down above his head.

He was hung up!

The tense nerves broke instantly, and Jack screamed in fear, twisting his body constantly to try to escape, but all this was in vain, and when he calmed down a little, he even began to be glad that his fierce movements did not break the rope - below him, there was a pit full of sharp wooden thorns!

If he hadn't been hung up just now, or if he had broken the rope after being hung up, he would have been nailed to the pit now! What a vicious criminal!

...But why does this method look familiar?

Before Jack could think about it, a sharp, impatient voice sounded from above his head - or from below his body: "What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about?!"

"Why is it like a pig being slaughtered?"

Jack tried his best to see the creature that made the noise, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: It was a goblin.

It was a friendly force.

"It's really strange," the goblin saw Jack's appearance clearly at this moment, but his tone was quite confused, "Hey, where are you from? Why are you running around without following the rules? The villages and the roads are all over there!"

"You are not the kind of thing called 'spy', are you?" As he said, the goblin suddenly looked at Jack's face vigilantly, "Wipe off the stuff on your face! Let me see what you are shameful about?"

"Lord Kalade said that he will strictly arrest suspicious people like you recently! Once we find them, we can kill them on the spot!"

"Boss, the lord should say 'execute on the spot'." Another goblin next to him kindly reminded him, but in return he was hit by the leader's electric cannon.

"So much nonsense - isn't it all the same!"

"Don't, don't execute me here," Jack said hurriedly, "Look at me! I have a special nameplate on me! My name is Jack, and I'm from here!"

"I even invited General Kalade to drink!"

The "rank" of the hobgoblins sounds like a top leader, but the actual situation in the fantasy land is not the case. Therefore, most residents are more accustomed to calling Kalade "General", and the slightly flattering title is "Marshal".

Although the former represents a lower status than the warlord in the hobgoblin society, Kalade unexpectedly acquiesced. This may be his respect for Ron's status, or perhaps he tolerates the shallow knowledge of ignorant civilians.

"You?" As expected, when Jack said this, the goblin below immediately reacted. A big hand stretched out to Jack and quickly grabbed something that could prove his identity: "Jack, doppelganger?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The painter quickly agreed, "It's me, it's me."

"Why are you running into the wilderness in the dark?" The goblin curled his lips and waved his hand to signal his companions around to take action, "Put down this 'tribute', you are really lucky, fortunately we are guarding here and haven't gone back, otherwise we can only come to the pit to 'pull' your body the next morning."

Jack had no choice but to smile bitterly, and after being rescued, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for saving my life! I just happened to have something important to report to the leader. My Lord, I took a shortcut to save trouble, but I didn't expect to accidentally touch a trap..."

"Is it an important matter?" The goblins' pointed ears immediately stood up, showing great interest in this, "Tell me about it."

"Tell me about it!"

"This..." Jack wanted to ignore these guys, but he couldn't get away, so he had to tell them what he had just experienced, "Someone just secretly probed my thoughts, it might be..."

To Jack's surprise, after listening to him, the goblins did not show any intention of mocking his mental allergy. Instead, they looked at each other, and finally, the goblin who should be playing the role of a captain or leader looked up at him: "You mean just now? How long has it been?"

"Maybe... five or ten minutes?" Jack was not sure and could only judge by intuition, "Can you let me go? This is not a joke!"

"I know you are not kidding," the goblin waved his hand, "Recently, Lord Kalade also asked us to strengthen our precautions, and you joined in the fun. It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

"But think about it, you ran from here to the town and then came back. If the 'eavesdropper' you mentioned really exists, that guy can still wait for you there honestly?"

Jack opened his mouth: "Then you say..."

"Do I need to say this?" The shapeshifter looked at the goblin in shock. Shen Li saw the contempt, "Lead the way! Let's catch him!"

"Just a few of us? I think it's still not stable--"

"Who told you it's just a few of us?" The goblins around looked at each other, then laughed strangely, "There are more than just a few of us!"

"You stepped on one of the 'warning traps' we set up along the territory, and now everyone has been attracted by you!"

A disturbing emotion entered Jack's brain. He looked around with his huge eyes. At some point, pairs of eyes flashing with cunning light appeared in the night. Most of them were only about 1.34 meters above the ground, but their number was really huge, forming a piece in the wilderness.

The mountains and plains were full of goblins! (End of this chapter)
