Lin Feng was invited into a slightly different infinite space. "People in the quest world actually know my identity?" In the Dungeon world, he traded for the Hand of Devil using his name wi...
Under the cover of night, Lin Feng approached the Elven defense line. Seeing a few wisps of fire in the distance, he slowed down and crept closer.
Looking around, the completely destroyed Elwyn Line was teeming with goblins who had set up camp there. In the center of the camp were many unfinished wooden houses, and simple defensive fortifications had been erected around them, with several watchtowers and a row of spiked chevaux-de-frise protecting the camp.
There are at least one hundred goblins!
Lin Feng climbed up a big tree and counted very carefully.
Several watchtowers within the camp divided the area into four sections. On each watchtower stood a goblin throwing goblin, with a basket of stones at his feet, vigilantly observing his surroundings with his bulging goldfish eyes.
After observing for a period of time, Lin Feng determined that there were a total of 4 patrol teams of goblins in the camp. Two of them were fire goblins patrolling the camp, while the other two were frost goblins patrolling the edge of the camp.
In the center of the camp sat three deputies and a black-clad bomb goblin around a campfire, occasionally letting out strange howls.
"Explosive Kage"
The goblin with a name immediately reminded Lin Feng of the zombie Karzak in the forest. When he saw the fist-sized bombs next to Bomb Kag, his mind suddenly started working.
He quickly found his target: a well-built wooden shed on the least conspicuous side of the camp, thatched with straw, and filled with boxes inside and outside.
Outside the wooden shed, there were several ordinary goblins guarding the area. Looking around the entire camp, only Bomb Kag had such formal guards around him.
This place likely contains goblin military supplies, and the boxes inside may even contain a large number of explosives and Molotov cocktails!
'but...'
Lin Feng calmed his turmoil and continued to observe the camp's patrol patterns several times, temporarily setting aside his original plan to visit other goblin settlements. His purpose in coming here was to collect some Molotov cocktails, but now that the camp was an additional option, he couldn't help but feel a sense of danger.
There were only seven ordinary goblins near the weapon. About every five minutes, the frost goblins in the camp would pass by, but they wouldn't look closely; they would just go through the motions.
The two groups of fire goblins on the outer perimeter will pass by here every seven to eight minutes. They are passing by on the perimeter, focusing their attention on the area around the camp and rarely paying attention to what is happening inside the camp.
Besides these, Lin Feng was more concerned about whether there were any goblin sentries nearby.
There is another escape route. This place is neither too close nor too far from the dense forest. You can see the towering tree canopies in the distance. If he is discovered and wants to get rid of the pursuit, he can only go deep into the dense forest and seek an opportunity to escape from the cat demons' encirclement.
Just then, the aroma of meat wafted from the direction of the camp.
"Late-night snack?" Lin Feng looked over hurriedly.
Half of the patrolling goblins were relieved, and the goblins on guard duty took a bowl of meat soup and squatted down. The other goblins were given food at different times, ate, and returned to their positions.
There was no sound from the surroundings.
'No hidden sentries?'
Or perhaps the sentries' military skills could make them indifferent to the aroma of meat!
This thought left Lin Feng speechless, but thinking of certain special goblins, he couldn't help but earnestly search for any traces he might have overlooked.
The original game setting clearly featured a goblin kingdom, along with unique mechanical technologies. Even though goblin culture was backward, large numbers of goblins still appeared all over the world, joining different organizations.
As the goblins throughout the camp began to show noticeable changes in their aura, Lin Feng climbed down from the tree.
Overall, the camp only had a basic patrol system and did not provide mutual watch for the surrounding watchtowers and defense facilities. Just as forest rangers, when patrolling the mountains and forests, do not only look at the trees, they also need to observe changes in the mountains and forests, pests, and so on.
These patrolling goblins simply strolled around as if taking a leisurely walk.
The watchtowers in the camp also lacked proper security facilities. Each sling goblin standing on a high point was only responsible for its own guard direction and did not communicate or coordinate with the surrounding watchtowers, which was enough to show that they were just for show.
Functionally, they are more like arrow towers; all they need to do is fire stones at the sight of the enemy.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He realized that he had been too cautious and had imagined the goblin to be perfect. The camp, guards, patrols, etc., could not prove that he had a complete military system. It was very likely that he had only made up for some shortcomings in some details.
But he couldn't afford to be careless.
Before and after the midnight snack, the goblin camp was noticeably less noisy than before, and the goblins stood obediently at their posts.
Based on this, he immediately thought of some old military systems, where only a full stomach could keep them firmly on their posts, which is why there was a midnight snack.
After pondering for a while, Lin Feng arrived at the outskirts of the camp near where the weapon crates were stored under the cover of darkness. After assessing the surrounding situation, he headed to the place where he had previously set up a trap outside the goblin settlement.
Upon arrival, the goblin settlement not far away was uninhabited. The goblin corpses beside the trap had been taken away, the trap had been destroyed, and ropes and thorny branches were scattered all over the ground.
Lin Feng quickly gathered ropes and branches, tied them up, and returned to the vicinity of the goblin camp.
Soon after, two tripwire traps appeared in a thick patch of grass. Behind the tripwires were rows of sharp spikes, which were barely visible and hidden by the grass.
"Survival countdown: 1 day, 19 hours, and 18 minutes."
Time flew by, and the patrol teams drifted further apart. The goblins on guard leaned against the boxes and pillars around them, while the slinger goblins on the watchtowers dozed off.
When they saw Bomb Kage lying asleep in a pile of hay in the middle of the camp, they all became sleepy.
With a whoosh, a dark figure flashed into the camp from the outside. A goblin on a watchtower was yawning and leaning against the watchtower fence, not seeing anything.
Click click click...
The Frost Goblin in the camp lazily walked past. Lin Feng, who was hiding behind the box, had a heart pounding wildly. After the goblin had gone far away, he slowly exhaled and continued to approach the wooden shed.
The goblin guards outside the wooden shed were all asleep. After Lin Feng successfully entered, he crawled behind a few boxes to hide himself and reached inside.
"Goblin Molotov Cocktail!"
"Goblin Dagger!"
"Goblin Bomb!"
"Magic potion!"
Lin Feng's heart started pounding again, the deafening thumping sound especially noticeable in his ears, urging him to reach for the magic potion.
Just then, a goblin seemed to notice something, picked up a stick, stretched its body, and began to walk around the box with small, quick steps.
Lin Feng, his ambition growing, immediately withdrew his hand and gripped the dagger tightly.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Just as the goblin was about to discover Lin Feng, it plopped down next to the box where Lin Feng was hiding, raised its nose, dropped its weapon, snorted, patted its stomach, and started snoring.
Lin Feng swallowed hard, held his breath, and waited for a few breaths. Seeing that the goblin did not react, he reached for the box again.
10 Molotov cocktails, 3 bombs, and 5 magic potions.
This was the limit of his pockets, and it was a decision he made in a split second. If this wasn't enough to deal with Kalzak, then taking more wouldn't be of any use.
Tightening his tattered bag, Lin Feng tried to lift the weight in his arms, and sighed slightly. It wasn't that he didn't want to carry more, but this was already his limit. If he carried any more, he would have to drag it along.
The Molotov cocktail is about half the size of a palm, the bomb is about twice the size of the Molotov cocktail, and the magic potion is a little smaller, about the size of three fingers.
Moreover, he felt that if he added any more, his only tattered cloth bag would be ruined.
Lin Feng glanced at the goblin beside him, suppressed his greed, and without causing any trouble, turned around and crept towards the outside of the camp.
After walking a few steps, Lin Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief. The group of Frost Goblins had gone off to slack off somewhere, and the goblins on the watchtower were even lying down and asleep.
Seeing this, Lin Feng seized the opportunity to climb out of the camp, grabbed the tattered bag, and ran all the way to behind a big tree.
Whew~
Lin Feng gasped for breath, his hands gripping the tree trunk. Before he could finish exhaling, a dark red shadow appeared before his eyes.
Flame Goblins on the outer patrol?!
The demon's hand reached out on its own, and Lin Feng released the tattered bag and lunged forward.
Click!
The dagger was plunged into the goblin's throat.
The goblin seemed startled by the sudden turn of events, but its reaction was swift. As Lin Feng tackled it, a fireball flew off in a distorted arc.
Elite!
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, disregarding the direction the fireball flew, grabbed the tattered bag, and ran as fast as he could towards the trap.
Bang!
The sound of the fireball exploding rang out, and the goblins on the watchtower were the first to wake up. Through the fleeting flash of firelight, they caught a glimpse of Lin Feng's shadow.
"Wow wow wow!"
The fire goblins, who were planning to slack off in the woods, surrounded him after the shouts. Lin Feng, who had only run halfway, panicked and immediately realized that the fire goblins had scattered throughout the forest.
call!
A fireball flew by and smashed a head-sized crater into a large tree he had missed.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, went around a big tree, and suddenly changed direction and ran away.
Compared to the small fireball from before, if this large fireball were to hit him, even wearing protective gear would be useless.
Whoosh! A chilling aura swept past his figure, and in the flickering firelight, streaks of white ice crystals flew past with exceptional clarity.
