Kill the Goblins?
Hearing this, Tian Zhihe Guanghui snorted coldly, and not only him, but everyone else's faces were not very good. Goblins are weak monsters. They had encountered goblins when they were exploring the Great Maze, and they were no match for Tian Zhihe Guanghui. The other party actually said that he would use goblins to test them... This was simply underestimating them!
Just a goblin, isn't it easy for these gods to catch him? !
"No problem, how do we do it?"
Thinking of this, Tian Zhihe Guanghui also asked, but Ai Li completely ignored his attitude and just waved her magic wand lightly. The next moment, everyone was surprised to see the air in front of them began to twist and change, and then an entrance similar to a portal emerged from it, and on the other side was a cave.
"Right here, in this cave, there is a group of goblins stationed there. They have captured women from nearby villages and have set up camp here. Your mission is to completely eliminate all the goblins and... rescue the people they have captured. Is that ok?"
"certainly."
Hearing what Ellie said, Tian Zhihe Guanghui nodded, while Captain Meld next to him was a little anxious. He took a step forward and spoke.
"Then I will lead the team..."
"No, you can't go, Mr. Melder."
Ellie stretched out her magic wand and stopped Meld.
"There's a limit to how much you can babysit these little brats. Besides, they're just goblins. If you can't kill them..."
At this point, Ellie sneered.
"Then what is the value of the existence of these gods? Do you plan to be their babysitter for the rest of your life? The children's play house is over now, and it's time to let them experience what real battle is like."
“…”
Hearing what Ellie said, Captain Meld hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Mr. Meld, please don't worry!"
Seeing the person who had always taken care of her being spoken of like this by Ai Li, Tian Zhihe Guanghui couldn't help but speak.
"They are just goblins. We will definitely destroy them completely and return safely!"
"That's right! Just goblins!"
"Yeah, they're just goblins. It's easy for us to deal with them."
Other students also spoke up. They glared at Ellie with a common hatred, as if they wanted to kill her with their eyes. Ellie sat on her broom, not caring about the angry looks of these students at all. On the contrary, she looked at everyone as if she was looking at a group of clowns.
"Well, I wish you all the best."
No one spoke. Tian Zhihe Guanghui took the lead and walked into the portal, and the others followed suit. For them, this was not a difficult test, and many of them were even a little excited. After all, although they had participated in the battle, Captain Meld and the people from the palace had always been with them.
These students are in adolescence, and they want to prove themselves. They also want to show Captain Meld that they can complete the task easily even without his help.
At least, that's what they think.
There was no light in the dim cave, but there were some gods' messengers who knew magic, and they quickly summoned several balls of light to illuminate the road ahead.
"I'm... a little worried."
The priest girl walked behind, looking at the cave around her, and next to her, the swordsman girl patted her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Kaori, they're just goblins... We've encountered them in the maze too."
"Yes, but Miss Ellie's attitude worries me."
The priestess girl shook her head.
"She looked at us like we were dead... And, to be honest, I don't think Miss Ellie would deliberately mock us. I think if we're not careful, we might really fail..."
"Don't overthink it, Kaori."
At this moment, Tian Zhihe Guanghui, who was walking in front, also turned around and looked at his childhood sweetheart.
"That woman just wants to laugh at us for being trash that even goblins can't handle! I won't let her succeed! I'll let her see our strength!!"
“…”
Hearing what Tian Zhihe Guanghui said, the priestess hesitated for a moment and didn't say much. She knew that her childhood sweetheart was like this. Once he made up his mind, he would never change. But this made her even more uneasy. The priestess was not stupid. She had discovered that although Ai Li's attitude towards her and others was not friendly, she told her and others a lot about this world.
Especially what Ellie said.
"Enough of the children's play-acting. It's time for them to experience what real combat is like."
It was like a curse, lingering in Kaori's heart, like a shadow that could not be dispelled.
Could it be that what he and others had experienced before was not a real battle?
Indeed, if you think about it carefully, although Captain Meld led them to conquer the Great Labyrinth, and everyone was very smooth along the way, but looking back, it was Captain Meld who always guided and protected them. At that time, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, they were students and were used to being guided and taught. And because they had the power of the gods, every time they fought monsters, they were always able to gain an overwhelming advantage.
However, there is also a crisis.
Just like that time, they were almost killed because they accidentally ran into a trap... If it wasn't for Miss Ellie's intervention at that time, they would probably have a hard time surviving...
Captain Meld is not here now, and the one leading us is Glory...
Thinking of this, Kaori's inner uneasiness became stronger. Although in everyone's eyes, Amanokawa Koki is the most charismatic leader in the class, he is always the center of attention, even if he came to this world, he has obtained the mission of a "brave man". But Kaori knows very well that Amanokawa Koki is also stubborn and unable to understand reality.
“Guga!!”
At this moment, screams were heard from the front, followed by the shouts of Amanokawa Mitsuteru and several others. Kaori looked up and saw that several people in charge of fighting in the class, led by Amanokawa Mitsuteru, were fighting with goblins that appeared from the depths of the cave. These goblins were short, wearing tattered and dirty clothes, and wielding rusty daggers and stone axes in their hands.
However, in front of Tian Zhihe Guanghui and others, these goblins were simply vulnerable. In just a blink of an eye, they were easily destroyed by everyone.
"how?"
"See, I told you Goblins are weak!"
After destroying a wave of goblins, everyone seemed excited. Originally, some of them were worried like Kaori whether there was some trick involved, but after a first contact, they found that these goblins were as weak as the ones they had encountered before, and they immediately felt relieved.
"Quick, let's completely wipe out this group of goblins. Then we'll see what that woman has to say to us!"
Everyone quickened their pace and moved forward, and then they came to a fork in the road.
"Which way should we go?"
"Go left."
The girl who was the defender made her own suggestion.
"The right side stinks..."
Not only her, but other girls also nodded. Compared to the fork on the left, the passage on the right was full of stench. It was a rotten smell mixed with excrement and sewers. Just smelling this smell made several girls almost faint.
"ah……"
However, just as everyone was about to go left, suddenly, a faint shout came from the right.
"ah……"
"Did you hear that?"
Tian Zhihe Guanghui stopped and listened, and the others also stopped.
"There seems to be someone over there!"
"Come to think of it, Miss Ellie did say that our mission is to destroy the goblins and rescue the captured woman, right?"
"Is it right here?"
"Let's go and take a look!"
At this moment, Tian Zhihe Guanghui also made up his mind and rushed into the stinking passage at the first place. Although the others were a little helpless, they had no choice but to follow him.
Soon, the group saw a tightly closed door made of wooden fence at the end of the passage. The door was not even locked. Tian Zhihe Guanghui pushed the door open, walked in and shouted loudly.
"Is there anyone? We are here to rescue you!!"
There was no sound in the dark cave. Fortunately, at this moment, other people also entered the cave, and then someone cast a magic spell to illuminate the entire cave.
The next moment, after seeing the situation inside the cave clearly, many people's faces suddenly changed drastically, and some even squatted on the ground and vomited.
The whole cave was like a garbage dump, full of discarded garbage and excrement, as dirty as a sewer. Deep in the garbage dump, a woman was hung on the wall, naked and extremely dirty, but this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was... the woman's body was covered with wounds and even burns.
Seeing this scene, many people turned around and vomited. The miserable appearance of the woman in front of them was unacceptable to them. Tian Zhihe Guanghui also lowered his head and tightly grasped the holy sword in his hand. Then he suddenly remembered something and looked back hurriedly.
"Kaori, please save her!"
“Ah, yeah!!”
Hearing the glorious call of the River of Heaven, the priestess girl nodded vigorously. Although she could not look directly at the wound of the girl in front of her, she was kind-hearted and still forced herself to walk forward. She looked at the girl in front of her and began to chant in a low voice.
“Guga!!!”
However, just when Kaori was about to cast a healing spell on the woman in front of her, suddenly, a goblin suddenly jumped out from the garbage pile beside her, screamed, raised his dagger, and stabbed at Kaori!
