Chapter 52 51 Goblin's Fury

Chapter 52 51. The Fury of the Goblins

Along the way, except for the first team of goblins, Lu Yu encountered no resistance and easily explored the border of the map.

Going forward, it was already an area that was not recorded on the map provided by Duke Guy.

As Lu Yu expected, the structure of the underground palace had undergone some changes in the past half month.

If these changes were not compared with the map, they would definitely not be recognizable by memory alone.

For example, a large groove disappeared at the corner of a certain place, replaced by compacted loess.

For example, a new road suddenly appeared in a place that was originally a dead end.

It was indeed too quiet. If the first team of goblins he encountered was responsible for vigilance and passing the message to his companions, then after they were wiped out, other goblins should have filled in and set up an ambush.

But no, the entire underground palace was only echoed with their footsteps and the roar of the wind blowing from the depths of the underground palace through the corridor.

Well-prepared, Lu Yu opened his backpack, took out a charcoal pencil and a piece of white paper and gave them to Lulutis, who recorded the area they would pass through next.

After walking for a long time, Lu Yu felt hungry. Although he was in the underground palace and could not confirm the time, he still judged that it was at least noon.

The map drawn by Lulutis lit up a large number of unknown areas, but both Sigrid and Lu Yu were getting more and more confused.

If they did not encounter goblins for a period of time, it might be that the other party was planning traps and attacks. It was obviously abnormal that they did not encounter a goblin in the underground palace for nearly half a day while drawing pictures like shopping.

"It always feels so quiet, it seems that there are no goblins in the underground palace, which is very different from what I guessed before." Sigrid, who was leading the way in front, suddenly sighed.

Not only Lu Yu felt hungry, Sigrid's stomach also growled, and Lulutis even performed ASMR in the chat room.

Driven by Lu Yu's magic, the two sunny dolls floated around and acted as scouts.

After asking Sigrid to extinguish the lighting crystal, Lu Yu used basic fire magic to light a picked-up stick as a temporary lighting tool.

The exploration had to continue, and the lighting crystal needed to be used sparingly.

Since it was an outdoor exploration, there was no particular preference for food.

Some bread made by Lu Yu himself, spread with a little jam, and eating three or two slices with a sip of juice was considered a meal.

Lu Yu and Lulutis guarded Sigrid, the strongest combat force, to eat first to prevent the goblin from attacking, and they were all in a hurry.

However, Lulutis had more hands, so she could separate a few tentacles to eat when she had the opportunity.

Lu Yu didn't have so many hands, so he could only eat last.

While eating, everyone whispered about the current situation.

To sum it up, there are three words, something is wrong.

The entire Luotan Plain is covered with underground palaces dug by goblins, and these underground palaces are interconnected, so there are goblin sentinels everywhere. Once an invader appears, the goblins will come to support from all directions, and even block the entrance on the ground to surround and kill the invader.

Now they can't meet any of them, which can't be explained by good luck.

"Did the goblins mobilize the people here to go somewhere else?"

Sigrid's words made Lu Yu subconsciously want to say something.

What Lu Yu didn't expect was that Sigrid's guess was correct.

Across the Luotan River, which is constantly rushing and has nurtured many races on this land, a fierce fight is going on in an underground palace near a swamp on the other side of the river.

Maroni was hit by four or five blowpipes on his shoulder, and the wound has begun to fester. He can feel that his arm is getting weaker and weaker, and his breathing is getting more and more rapid.

The magician who was responsible for assisting the team ran forward to perform a healing spell for Maroni, and finally suppressed the spread of the poison. However, as soon as he took the medicine, screams from the front continued to sound.

The three shield guards in front flew back and knocked over several companions.

The shield was deeply dented by this blow, squeezing the palm of the shield holder. The whole arm might have been disabled.

Maroni had previously ridiculed the goblins for building most of the underground palace so spacious, and only those dead ends with ambushes and traps were built so narrow and cramped. It was completely unnecessary.

Because the goblins were short, they could just dig a dog hole to live, and there was no need for an underground palace at all.

In response to this joke, three goblins of adult height appeared.

The muscles full of power bulged slightly when they exerted force. Every time they swung their weapons with metal sticks in their hands, the shield guards in front would be numb.

Under the violent attack, the shield guards who stepped forward to defend were exhausted and had no time to retreat, and were hit in the face by the iron rod.

"Goblin Berserker, no, this is a monster that can only be dealt with by fine steel and mithril!"

The hired adventurer in the team quickly found Maroni and asked him to order a retreat.

The area where the goblins fought with Maroni and others was located at a crossroads in the underground palace. It was very spacious, so the big melee started after entering.

Now if he wanted to retreat, he had to abandon the family elites who had been involved in the battlefield, which made Maroni hesitant.

"Ah!!!"

The miserable howl scared Maroni and he looked up.

A man from an unknown family was hugged by a group of little goblins on his thighs. He was completely unable to move his feet and was pounced on by more and more little goblins.

The goblin stabbed him with a knife, but because the knife was not sharp, it could not quickly create a fatal wound. Therefore, Maroni was horrified to see that the goblin actually grabbed the wound with his hands, pried it apart, grabbed his flesh and blood, and tore him apart bit by bit.

Looking at the organs that were constantly thrown out, Maroni's stomach churned.

The first time he killed someone was in the forest at the edge of the family territory and the junction of the snow mountain.

In order to consolidate the reputation of the Nott family in the territory, his brother often spread some false news, such as the territory was invaded by monsters and beasts, and the merchants were killed by thieves.

Maroni, who accompanied the winter hunt, killed a lone adventurer with a knife under the guidance of his brother, and accused the adventurer of robbery.

Maroni, who saw blood for the first time, was also very uncomfortable and wanted to vomit like now.

This feeling has disappeared with age, but now it comes again and is difficult to suppress.

He had killed many goblins himself and had beheaded criminals in the territory, but this was the first time he had seen such a tragic and uncomfortable death.

Seeing the people around him constantly falling into desperate situations, Maroni was going crazy.

"What went wrong? It shouldn't be like this!"

After discussing the results last night, they took a short break and hired a large number of adventurers to go out of the city together for fear of falling behind.

With the help of the magician, they guided the rushing water of the Lotan River into the entrance of the underground palace.

A large number of goblins were drowned by the river before they had time to warn or escape.

After an hour of river water pouring in, all the assisting magicians were exhausted, and the effect was very obvious. The bodies of goblins began to float out of the entrance of the underground palace.

Just as Maroni and others were beheading people with great pleasure, the water level of the underground palace dropped rapidly, and the bodies that were supposed to overflow to the entrance were brought back to the underground palace.

Having mobilized so much manpower and spent a lot of energy, Maroni really couldn't bear to part with those heads.

In desperation, they had to form a team to break into the underground palace and look for the goblins carried away by the water.

When they found the location of the goblin corpses according to the water accumulation in the passage, the experienced adventurer in the team immediately reminded Maroni not to harvest the heads.

Because this group of adventurers suddenly discovered that there was no water behind the mountain of goblin corpses in front of them.

If the goblins had a mechanism to block the rushing river water and fully open the drainage system to drain the water, then who activated the mechanism?

Maroni, who realized something was wrong, also wanted to retreat, but they had accidentally stood in the middle of the intersection, and countless goblins suddenly rushed out of the three passages and surrounded them.

There was nothing wrong with my plan, and the goblins were successfully drowned. Why was it me who was in a dilemma?

And when did the goblins become so smart? The underground palace they designed actually had a special mechanism to prevent it from being flooded?

The berserker goblin raised his iron rod and cut off another shield guard's head. The bloody slurry sprayed on the people nearby. This horrible scene greatly reduced their idea of ​​continuing to fight.

They came here to harvest the goblin's heads to gild themselves, not to die.

Thinking of this, before Maroni gritted his teeth and said to retreat, they had already run in the direction they came from.

The fleeing nobles abandoned their followers and let them be torn to pieces by the goblins.

The goblins were not relieved. They chased the nobles like crazy and kept throwing weapons.

The people running at the end of the team were covered by dense attacks, and they were drowned by the goblins before they had time to struggle.

"Why, why are they still chasing!"

Maroni, who ran out of the underground palace, called on his companions stationed outside to take the heads that had been harvested and retreat, but the goblins actually rushed out of the underground palace directly.

The goblin endured the discomfort after seeing the sun, and rushed towards Maroni with red eyes.

In the past, goblins rarely left the underground palace where they were best at fighting, and took the initiative to come to the ground to chase the enemy. Whenever they appeared, it was a sign that a war was about to start.

The appearance of several goblin berserkers was also discovered by the mithril adventurers on the Luotan Plain.

They were elite adventurers hired by Duke Guy to kill high-level monsters. Most of the time, they had to go deep into the underground palace to see such burly goblin berserkers.

Not to mention, they also found traces of goblin priests and goblin mages in the goblin army.

"Are the goblins going to take the initiative to attack?" A mithril adventurer was stunned.

"But why is this? It's spring now, and food is abundant. It's not so bad that we have to raid to get food."

"Are these people the nobles? They are the focus of the recent topic in Black Shield City."

"Did these guys do something to make the goblins crazy?"

"Captain, should we save them?"

The leader of the Mithril Adventurer Team hesitated for a while and sighed.

"Although I don't like nobles, since they come to kill goblins, they are our own people."
