The half-elves hunter girl drew the bowstring, and with a whoosh, the arrow stuck in the imp's throat.
Elves are good at bows and arrows, and half-elves are naturally not bad.
Nangong Long picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it casually. It seemed that he didn't use much strength, but there was a hole in the head of the kid holding the knife.
The witch lit the torch, and the group walked into the dark cave.
"Isn't it too conspicuous to hold a torch?" The female knight asked 193 in confusion.
"Light the torches or not, we're exposed the moment we walk in. Imps are very sensitive to smells, especially women's.
Imps can see in the dark, but mortals can't, so of course they need to light a torch. "
"How do I cover up my own smell?" the witch asked softly.
"Buy herbal sachets to eliminate the smell, or dissect the corpse of the imp at the door, take out the internal organs and pour blood on you"
"..."
The corners of the three girls' eyes twitched, the latter method was too disgusting.
"Absolutely not that way," the female knight said firmly in a low voice.
"En." The hunter girl nodded in agreement.
There was an unpleasant stench in the air, and Nangong Long didn't need to breathe, so he wasn't affected. The girls frowned, but they got used to it after walking for a while.
Nangong Long knocked on the mountain wall from time to time with a short knife in his hand, this strange behavior caught the attention of the three girls.
"Captain, what are you doing?" the half-elf girl asked curiously.
"Where the mountain wall is loose, the imp may dig a hole to hide inside (babh), and then attack from behind. Although it is the middle of the night of the imp, this possibility is very small, but it is better to be careful. will lead to annihilation”
The female knight couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it's great to have a senior in the team, if she were there, she would definitely walk over directly, after all, there is only this way, who would have thought that the kid would sneak attack from behind.
After walking in the dark cave for a while, the group came to a fork in the road.
Nangong Long glanced at the ground, then pointed to the intersection on the right.
"Walking this way, there are obviously more footprints on the right side than on the left side. Based on past analysis, the right side is where the kid lives, and the left side is where garbage and sundries are piled up.
But one thing you have to keep in mind is that this judgment will be wrong under certain circumstances.That is, when the booty is imprisoned in the garbage warehouse, the footprints at the intersection may be no less than those leading to the residence, or even more," Nangong Long said in a low tone.
"A spoil of war? A woman!" the witch's pretty face became gloomy and muttered.
The female knight and the half-elf girl subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands. Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they had all heard of the kid's bad manners.
The sound of chaotic footsteps came to my ears, and then the kid with a mess of weapons appeared in sight.
The field of vision is not very good, the female knight can only judge roughly, there are about six or seven little ghosts.
The body froze slightly, and at the same time as she exhaled forcefully, the half-elf girl drew the bowstring and shot an arrow. Every time she pulled the bowstring, a little ghost fell down.
The female knight ran forward a few steps, swung the sword in her hand and chopped down vigorously.
The witch stayed where she was and observed her surroundings, making preparations for magic support.She is a long-range attack and support, it is impossible to rush out like a warrior.
The spell resources in the team are precious cards in the hand, and they must not be used up from the beginning.
There are not many little ghosts, half elf girls and female knights have good basic skills, and they can kill the team of little ghosts in front of them in a short time.
"The sword is too long, it's not suitable for swinging in the cave," the female knight said with a sad expression.
Just now her sword slashed on the cave wall, if Nangong Long hadn't swung the slash to kill the little ghost, she would have been injured.
"No wonder the captain uses that kind of knife that is neither too long nor too short," the female knight said with a sigh.
"Only after experiencing it once, the impression will be deep," Nangong Long said with a smile, which is why he didn't remind him.
The female knight made a fierce look at him, but she was not angry, because she did remember it, and it was still the kind that she would not forget.
After walking downhill for a while, the four of them came to the depths of the cave, and the space immediately became much larger.
Contrary to the expectations of the female knight, there are only three little ghosts inside, and
Not a bunch of brats.
The enemies were dealt with in twos and threes, and the girls searched the cave to see if any fish slipped through the net.
There are two at the entrance, seven on the road, and three in the cave, a total of twelve. The warehouse on the left has only garbage and imp excrement.
The number of little ghosts is about the same as that stated in the mission.
No cubs, no shamans, no women, not even a decent leader.
Nangong Long speculated that this group of little ghosts should have been kicked out, and not long ago.
Nine times out of ten, they were separated from the large group of imps in the west.
If there were no goblin king, goblin paladin, and high-level monsters, the number of a group of little ghosts would generally not exceed three digits, because the leader did not have the IQ and leadership ability.
So once the number reaches a certain level, the leader will drive away some of the weaker subordinates.
The remaining imps will not be sympathetic, they will be happy because there are fewer people to share the spoils.
On the way back, Nangong Long expressed his thoughts.
Seeing the sun again, the girls took a deep breath, the fresh air outside is better.
"Want something to eat?"
"Hey~ don't" the girls said in unison.
Just after killing the little ghost, and seeing such a disgusting place, how could it be possible to eat food.
Away from the cave, Nangong Long and his party came to the road.
"Take a break and continue on your way," Nangong Long said as he walked to the tree beside the road.
Chapter 22 Breaking into the Ruins
At around 03:30 in the afternoon, the group arrived at the next village.
As always, first ask the villagers about the situation, and then set out to find the imp's lair.
There is a dense forest in the south of the village. According to the villagers, there is a ruin there. Since the little ghost was found, no one dared to go to the forest anymore.
"Do you want to wait until the evening to start?" the witch hiding in the dark asked Nangong Long after glancing at the ruins.
I don't know what age the building is. The walls are covered with thick vines, and the thin branches fill the gaps between the vines.Perhaps because of self-confidence, there is no kid guarding the entrance of the ruins.
Nangong Long did not answer her question, but said seriously:
"If there are only three of you, I suggest that you retreat immediately. With your current strength, you will only put yourself in.
This lair of little ghosts is very abnormal, if the previous group of little ghosts really separated from here, I think their leader should be a passer-by."
"Passing passerby?" The three girls looked at him with puzzled eyes in tacit understanding~.
"The kid who survived the extermination is just a passer-by. Escaping from death will make the kid more cunning and insidious, and if you are lucky, you will even become a higher-ranking kid.
Generally speaking, when the number of goblins increases to a certain level, the leader will order to attack the nearby villages, but you have also seen that the villages still exist.
Instead of attacking the village, they drove away the weak individuals. The leader of this lair obviously wanted to accumulate stronger power.
However, a brat is a brat, even the leader. It has forgotten that it can hold back, but will the brats under it bear it?
Presumably in a few days, the brats will act in private.
It is conservatively estimated that there are more than [-] imps in this ruin.”
"Then shall we continue the mission?" the half-elf girl asked with a trembling voice.
"If there is a chance of winning, I want to save people." The female knight expressed her thoughts with a serious face.
"It must be to save people. In order to make a quick decision, I will be in front this time. Let's talk about the accumulated experience next time. You can play freely, and you don't need to save spells."
Nangong Long let out a breath, and walked towards the entrance of the ruins first.
The dim corridor could not obstruct Nangong Long's sight, and there were traces of burning torches on the walls at intervals.
No kid appeared on the road, and the group soon came to the fork in the road.Three branches appeared in front of my eyes, and a mysterious pattern appeared on the original old wall.Compared with the age of the ruins, these murals are no different from the new ones.
"Walking in the middle"
After walking for less than a minute, the annoying voice of the kid came from the dark space ahead.
"EUR#..."
"×#EUR..."
Laughter, ridicule, abuse, greed...
Such expressions are covered with the ugly faces of imps.
The female knight and the half-elf girl protected the witch one after the other, and retreated to the right wall with solemn faces.
The situation was very bad, and there was also a figure of a little ghost in the rear, probably from another intersection to the back.
"Captain, what should we do?" the half-elven girl asked tremblingly.
The female knight and the witch were not much better, but they barely maintained their composure. There were too many little ghosts entering the field of vision.
They are densely pushing each other, and there is a huge figure behind them, which is not the size that a kid should have at all.
"Of course it was crushed"
Nangong Long replied blankly, and the next moment he swung his knife towards the way he came.
"One Sword Style Eagle Ghost"
An eagle-shaped slash flew towards the noisy little devils, leaving deep marks on the walls on both sides where it passed.
The little ghosts who appeared from behind were cut in two from their chests, with complacent expressions on their faces, as if they still didn't understand what happened.
They didn't howl in pain until their upper body fell heavily to the ground.
For a moment, a strong smell of blood permeated the entire corridor.
The half-elf girl's pretty face turned pale, not because she was afraid of her captain, but because she was frightened by the bloody scene.
In contrast, the witch and the female knight reacted much better, because they are mortals, and their vision is limited in the dark space, and they can't see the scene of blood and internal organs on the floor clearly.
Ordinary people can't see clearly, but the little ghosts in front can see clearly, and the miserable fate of their companions is clearly reflected in their eyes.
The brats who were arguing about how to torture and kill the male adventurer, how to abuse and share the female adventurer, suddenly became quiet, as if they were being pinched by the throat.
