Chapter 104 Goblin’s Cave

The battle on the ground did not last long, and the addition of Butcher turned the situation into a one-sided killing. The goblins finally understood that their numerical superiority could not bring victory, but they soon found themselves in a desperate situation from which they could not escape. The fat and strong goblin leader led his remaining men to launch a final charge, but under the encirclement of the paladins, it was all in vain.

Zhao Mai squatted at the smoking hole and listened carefully, but there was no movement below. Are the goblins hiding, or are there no enemies left? After a while, Zhao Mai casually threw a stone with the light spell down to test the reaction below.

The stone hit the ground, then hit something metal, and then there was no sound. He waited for a short while and carefully looked down from the edge of the hole. The light spell on the stone provided illumination, and it was lying on the body of the one-eyed goblin covered in iron scars.

Apart from this body, Zhao Mai didn't see anything else. He heard the conversation below before and knew that there were at least two goblins. Now that it's a deadlock, the goblins definitely don't dare to come up, and Zhao Mai doesn't know if he dares to go down. He raised his head to ask for help, and Camilla passed by on horseback.

"Beauty, can you use Detect Evil to see if there are any enemies down there?"

The tall female knight glared at him, then raised the holy symbol and prayed. "I don't see any evil enemies down there," she said.

"Then I'll go down and check, don't let the goblin escape." Zhao Mai explained and climbed down the ladder on the well wall.

The ladder had been blown up by a grenade and had become crooked, and the heat from the flames had not completely dissipated. Zhao Mai jumped down the last few blocks, and when he landed, he held the Megalodon in place to prevent sudden attacks. With the help of the light technique, the surrounding environment fell into view: at the bottom of the pit about ten feet square, a crooked and sloping path continued deeper into the ground.

"A-Liang, be careful." Zhao Mai glanced left and right and made sure that the surroundings were solid rock walls and there were no secret doors or passages before moving forward along the road. Every few steps he took, he threw a stone cast on the light spell to ensure that he always had adequate lighting. Goblins can see directly in the dark underground, but humans cannot.

You need to squat half down in the hole, and there is not much room for movement on the left and right sides, which makes it cramped and dangerous. Some grass roots hung down from the soil above the head, gently grazing the top of Zhao Mai's head. Not far ahead, the passage turned a small corner and seemed to become wider. The puppy smelled the enemy and let out a low growl from its throat.

Zhao Mai pressed against the wall and listened carefully to what was going on in front of him. Apart from his own breathing and heartbeat, he heard no movement from the enemy. But at this time, you should still trust your animal companions. Rushing in rashly is obviously the worst option; throwing a grenade may seem nice, but in such a narrow place, the impact you will bear will not be small.

So Zhao Mai inserted his hand into the soil on the roof of the cave, chanted a spell softly, summoned the force of nature, and performed the entanglement technique. Catalyzed by the force of nature, grass roots spread downward, and mushrooms and moss grew suddenly. Zhao Mai heard surprised shouts from ahead, accompanied by the sounds of goblins falling and things being smashed.

At this time, he no longer hesitated and rushed forward while the enemy was in a hurry. The Megalodon's gun blade exudes the light brought by the light spell, like the first ray of dawn breaking through the dark night. The goblin's hands and feet were tied up by the sudden obstacle, and while he was still trying to break free, Zhao Mai arrived.

This is an underground treasure room. The fat goblin puts most of the things he robbed here, and then turns over a small part to the bigger boss. He has four men who can identify, appraise, dig and guard respectively. They are responsible for the safety of this underground cave. The assessor's throat was cut and used as a tool to transport grenades. Three other people were also injured in the explosion and were in very bad condition.

Zhao Mai would not show mercy to the enemy. He stabbed the gun blade into the chest of the first goblin, and then quickly pulled it out, just in time to block the scimitar of the second goblin. Fortunately, there is another one who is trapped in a deep place and cannot join the battlefield, so he still has a few rounds to deal with the double scimitar enemy.

This goblin is responsible for guarding and is one of the most powerful goblins in the entire camp. He had dark skin and a pair of protein-colored eyes that reflected light. He looked at Zhao Mai like a hawk and kept saying: "Go to hell, go to hell" without knowing what he meant. The two scimitars flew up and down. Zhao Mai tried several times, but they only hit the blade of the gun and could not threaten his body. On the contrary, as soon as Zhao Mai attacks, a scimitar will take advantage of the opportunity and draw a strange arc towards his vital point. Zhao Mai could only retreat and block with all his strength, so that he could not succeed.

Thanks to the recent high-intensity training, Zhao Mai has developed combat intuition. His brain has no time to react, but his body has made the correct response. Vaguely, Zhao Mai saw the shadow of Butcher on the goblin, and it seemed that he had seen many of the tricks before. Even if his brain doesn't have time to think when the goblin uses it, he will suddenly realize it after a few seconds: "Hey, isn't this Butcher's random attack?"

In fact, Butcher did not fight randomly, but combined various offensive moves in a very messy and awkward way. He used the training sword to imitate the threat of various weapons such as scimitars, hammers, spears, arrows, chains, axes, and halberds. Regardless of the length, weight, and type of damage caused, these weapons must eventually reach the opponent's body in some way to be effective, and Butcher refined various "reaching methods" to train Zhao Mai.

Only very experienced warriors can think of such a method and have the ability to use such means. Now the weapon is restored. The scimitar uses the scimitar technology, but the trajectory is still the same. No wonder Zhao Mai feels a little familiar.

It's a pity that his training time is still short and his coping methods are limited. Being able to block a few times doesn't mean he has a way to counterattack. After three rounds, Zhao Mai had retreated to the wall and had no room to move. If it weren't for the reserve grain charging at the side several times, which forced the goblin to distract himself, he would have been stabbed at this time.

The black-skinned goblin with two swords smiled ferociously, "You are dead, and your dog! The ugly little thief dares to covet the king's treasure. Just be your dinner!"

Zhao Mai took a few breaths and pulled the slider with his left hand, and the megalodon made a chirping sound. He said calmly: "Your Majesty has too much to take care of yourself up there, and you will definitely not survive. Even if you kill me, you can't kill our team of more than 20 people. It's better to do this, you carry the treasures you can take away." If we leave, the rest is ours. How about having a way of living and money?"

The goblin frightened the reserve grain, forcing it to take two steps back. Then he suddenly rushed towards Zhao Mai: "No, I'll kill you first!"

Zhao Mai pulled the trigger, and in the sudden fire, the two swords fell to the ground, and then came the black-skinned goblin with a bunch of holes on his face. "I don't think it's good either." Zhao Mai said.
