Just as the village chief said, the goblin's lair was located in a relic on the other side of the woods that was built at an unknown time. It was not very old, nor was it very mysterious. It was just a small abandoned fortress. After years of exposure to wind and sun, it had collapsed by more than half, but at least its functions were barely intact.

"Are we really going in?"

Holding the staff, Huihui had a bitter look on her face.

"Why don't I just cast an explosion magic here?"

"I think there's still time..."

The priestess shook her head and replied in a low voice.

"No, no, no, I think it's too late."

"You just want to be lazy."

"Isn't it good to be lazy? If you're too late, it will only be more disgusting to go in."

“But we are risk takers.”

At this time, Ais whispered something beside her. After hearing Ais's answer, Huihui sighed.

"Okay, you have to protect me..."

"Leave it to me."

Looking at the three people whispering in front, Mai Lu and his group behind were also confused.

"Hey, Mylu, what are they talking about?"

"I'm not sure either..."

As they were talking, the group came to the vicinity of the abandoned fortress, and soon they saw the goblins standing guard outside the half-collapsed gate of the fortress.

"one two three……"

The priestess counted them and then looked at Ais.

"Aisi, let's stick to the original plan. I'll go first."

"OK."

Ais nodded, then tightened her grip on the sword, and then the priestess stood up.

"Great Mother Earth, please protect us and cover up the voice of this land - silence!"

As the priestess pointed her staff forward, a faint aura suddenly fell like powder, and the goblins standing guard at the door looked up in surprise, looking at the beautiful aura falling from the sky. They stretched out their hands in panic, as if they were shouting - but that was all, all the sounds were blocked, and their movements looked more like a pantomime.

At the same time, a turquoise light flashed on Ais's body, and then she rushed forward like the wind.

The sword flashed.

The goblin who was hit first fell to the ground before he could see who the murderer was. Ai, who succeeded in the attack, did not hesitate to move forward again and suddenly jumped to the second floor of the collapsed fortress gate. At this moment, the other two goblins who were responsible for observing on the top seemed to react and began to rush towards Ai with their weapons. However, Ai just raised her sword and easily pushed away the goblin's weapon, and then stabbed him to death with one sword.

In just a flash, the goblins who were on guard here were swept away. Then Ais looked around and made a gesture to the back.

"Let's go."

Seeing Ais's gesture, the priestess pulled Huihui and ran forward quickly, and the others followed closely and quickly came to the cave entrance.

At this time, the power of the Silence Spell had disappeared, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

"Can you see anyone up there?"

The priestess looked at Ais and asked, and Ais shook her head.

"No, they should all be down there."

As she spoke, Aisi cast her gaze towards a hole in the ground next to the ruins. From the outside, it seemed that this place used to be an underground warehouse or something like that, but now it has obviously become a hole for monsters to enter and exit.

"I can't stand it. Why do goblins like to dig holes like mice?"

Seeing this, Huihui became even more upset. If it was on the surface, she could have used explosion magic to blow it up. But now... she had no choice but to endure it.

“Ais, you walk in front. Huihui and I will walk in the middle. Mylu and you walk in the back. Watch your back and your feet.”

The priestess looked at the dark cave, took a deep breath, and then gave an order in a low voice, and then the group walked into the cave.

“Ooooo…!”

The first thing that hit them was a foul and corrupt smell, which made the adventurers of the Red Oath, such as Mai Lu, couldn't help showing painful expressions. The red-haired magician instinctively opened his mouth to vomit, but Huihui next to him quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

"Shut up, do you want to die?!"

“Woo…Woo…!”

"Swallow it!"

Although the red-haired magician cast an angry look at Huihui, Huihui glared back with ten times more anger, and her bright red eyes became even redder. Under Huihui's amazing momentum, the red-haired magician had to swallow the things that were about to surge up.

"No sound, not at all!"

Huihui stared at Mai Lu and the others and spoke in a barely audible voice. Mai Lu and the others, frightened by her reaction, nodded one after another. They were quite familiar with this great magician of the Crimson Demon Clan. Although she could only use Explosion Magic, she was usually cheerful and easy to get along with. But now she looked very anxious and impatient... maybe it was because she couldn't use Explosion Magic after burrowing underground?

The smell in the tunnel was extremely bad. To be honest, Mai Lu and the others wanted to pass through the tunnel immediately. However, Ai Si and the priestess in front were very cautious. The priestess held up a scepter in her hand, and a magic lamp was hung on the top of the scepter. The soft light illuminated the darkness in front of them. They walked forward step by step. During this time, they did not forget to remind Mai Lu and the others behind them.

"Don't lean against the wall."

“Don’t step in puddles.”

“Be careful of the darkness.”

In this way, the group came to the fork at the end of the road.

"Go left first?"

"right."

In response to Huihui's question, the priestess thought for a moment and then gave an answer, which made Huihui look desperate again. But she didn't say anything else and just followed behind silently.

The stench on the right was several times stronger than on the left, so much so that even Mai Lu couldn't stand it anymore, and the others around her looked even more unbearable. But the priestess and Ais's expressions were extremely serious. They walked to the door at the end of the passage on the right, looked at each other, and then Ais suddenly pushed the door open, drew her sword, and jumped back.

There's nothing inside.

“…”

Why?

At this moment, Mai Lu was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong? Mylu?"

The smell here made her feel like vomiting just by talking, but another companion beside her still asked in a low voice.

"I seemed to hear some sound..."

In fact, there is no need to listen anymore.

When everyone walked into the room, they had already seen everything in front of them.

This place looked like a toilet, with goblin excrement and food residue everywhere, but there was something even more shocking. In the corner of the room, a young girl was lying there. Under the magic light, it was clear that she was naked and her whole body looked like it had been burned by fire. Her skin had been turned over and was oozing with rancid thick fluid.

"This is……!"

"Go and save them!"

Before the priestess and the others could say anything, the blonde knight in Mai Lu's group immediately ran towards the girl. She came to the girl's side in a few steps, then squatted down and stretched out her hand to the girl.

"Are you okay? We are here to save you..."

“Swish!”

The female knight didn't know what was happening.

Because just as she stretched out her hand, Aisi suddenly appeared beside her, stabbing the girl with the long sword in her hand. Before the female knight could scream, the long sword in Aisi's hand pierced heavily into the rotten garbage pile beside the girl. At this moment, a goblin holding a dagger suddenly jumped out of the garbage pile and pounced on the female knight. Then the next moment, it was pierced through the head by Aisi's long sword, and fell to the ground and became a corpse without even having time to scream.

"Be careful."

Aisi put away her sword, glanced at the dumbfounded blonde knight, and spoke. At this time, the blonde knight seemed to have just realized what had happened and sat down on the ground.

"These goblins are very cunning. When you let your guard down, that's when you die."

After saying this, Ai Si walked up to the girl and looked at her carefully.

"This should be the village chief's daughter."

“It’s so serious…”

In fact, without the priestess telling her, the others could see this to some extent. The girl's body was covered with scars and burns. At this moment, her whole body was rotting and turning blue, and she was only breathing her last breath.

"Do you have any solution?"

"I... can try."

As she spoke, another girl from Mai Lu's team came up and extended her hand.

"Extraordinary reply!"

With the flash of magical light, the scars on the girl's body gradually healed. Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then please send her back."

The priestess looked at the female knight and spoke.

"but……"

"This is the goal of the commission. For now, the mission has been completed, but it is not over yet. We need to continue exploring, so I'll leave it to you, okay?"

"……I see."

The blonde knight hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Then she carried the unconscious girl on her back and turned to run out of the dungeon.

Seeing this, Mai Lu and his companions looked at each other uneasily.

What's going on?

They are not fools. Of course they saw the scars on the girl's body and could imagine what happened to her... But who did it?

Goblin?

Such a weak monster?

Would they do such a thing?

"Let's keep going."

The priestess sighed and walked to the other side. After glancing at their backs, Mai Lu and the others hurriedly followed.

But unlike before, the group's inner uneasiness became even stronger at this moment.
