Chapter 36 Tracking, discovering a small goblin tribe
"Guji, guji."
"Wow!"
“Wow, wow.”
“…………!”
Deep in the jungle, there was a faint sound.
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, he stopped, pricked up his ears and listened, and the vague sound gradually became clear.
Something is coming this way, and there is a lot of it!
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, glanced around, quickly locked onto a relatively sturdy tree, walked slowly behind the tree, leaned against the trunk and waited silently.
Time passed by little by little! From time to time, the familiar "wow wow" sound was heard, which made Tang Zheng's eyes light up.
He had dealt with goblins many times before, so this was obviously the cry of a goblin!
really.
This is close to the ogre's territory! Tang Zheng still leaned against the thick tree trunk, his head slightly tilted forward, looking sideways in the direction of the sound.
soon!
A group of thirteen goblins appeared in Tang Zheng's sight.
These goblins were wearing tattered clothes that didn't fit them well. Some of them even wore a piece of cut-off trouser leg on their heads as a hat.
Dressed like this, she looks just like a refugee.
But Tang Zheng's eyes were obviously fixed, because among all the goblins he had seen, these were the only group of goblins who were all wearing clothes, even though these clothes were extremely tattered.
The goblins he had seen before were basically naked! What surprised Tang Zheng the most was that the two goblins walking in front of him were holding iron weapons, although they were just two forks.
Following the goblin in front, look towards the back.
For the first time, there was an obvious change on Tang Zheng's face.
The goblins at the back were struggling to carry the bloody corpse, and were following the goblins in front.
People! Tang Zheng was silent.
There were five bodies in total. Judging from their appearance and clothing, they were three men and two women. The dark and rough arms that were hanging on the ground and being dragged were visible.
Tang Zheng realized that these people should be farmers from the nearby villages.
Although he is now in the Tob Forest, he is actually still at the outermost edge of the forest. To the north is the interior of the forest, and to the south he can leave the Tob Forest and enter an area similar to the wilderness.
If you continue south, you will see a dirt road extending from "E-Rantel".
And there are quite a few villages in this area.
Compared to Kahn Village, which is located in the territory of the Forest Wise King Cangsuke, neither the villages around the trolls' territory nor the villages around the demon snake Naga's territory are very safe.
Therefore, the Adventurer's Guild in "E-Rantel" has a series of missions such as clearing out monsters and goblins all year round.
“Wow, wow.”
The goblin in front seemed to feel that it was moving a little too slowly, and it screamed a few times towards the back, with the fangs outside its mouth filled with anger.
The goblin carrying the corpse in the back heard the howl, a look of panic appeared on his green cheek, and he continued to carry the corpse forward with some difficulty.
During the whole process, the group of goblins did not notice Tang Zheng hiding behind the big tree.
He watched the goblin group pass by in front of him with an expressionless face.
Tang Zheng gently turned the hilt of the sword in his hand, raised his foot, followed slowly, and hung behind the group of goblins.
Although there are many goblins, they are not a big problem! The level of ordinary civilian farmers in the other world is about level 1. If they are trained, they may reach level 2.
Ordinary goblins are at this level. After all, they are a sub-human race, so they still have some racial advantages.
So it's not difficult to deal with these goblins.
but.
Based on the behavior of these goblins, Tang Zheng guessed that they were most likely returning to their tribe.
Realize this.
Tang Zheng was naturally not in a hurry to deal with these goblins immediately.
As he followed the goblin team deeper into the Tob Forest, Tang Zheng could clearly feel that the surrounding trees and bushes were becoming more and more lush.
The atmosphere in the forest began to become a little different. The most obvious thing was that the light suddenly began to dim a lot. An invisible sense of oppression faintly permeated the forest.
Tang Zheng flipped his palm and took out the pocket watch from the prop box. He saw that the time on it was only around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but the light around him at this moment made him feel as if it was already evening.
“It shouldn’t be too deep.”
Tang Zheng looked at the goblins carrying the corpses at the back. His eyes flashed, and at the same time, he raised the iron sword and lightly drew two marks on a big tree next to him as a mark.
In such a vast primeval forest, it would be quite troublesome and dangerous to lose your way.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
So, Tang Zheng was naturally prepared.
In addition to drawing the original marks on the trees he passed by, he also had a large bag of specially purchased lime powder in his prop box.
Currently they are still in the outer area of the forest and Tang Zheng can still see the direction clearly, so there is no need to use lime powder for the time being.
Next! Tang Zheng followed the group of goblins for about ten minutes. He was sure that they were about to reach the goblin tribe.
Because Tang Zheng had already smelled the rotten smell in the air and an indescribable stench that was a mixture of stinky socks and rotten eggs.
soon.
A place that makes people feel suddenly enlightened appears in a dense jungle full of tall and sturdy trees.
The area is not very large, only about the size of one and a half basketball courts. The entire area has obviously been cleaned up and there are no trees larger than tall ones.
As soon as the group of goblins entered here, they immediately became active, especially the goblins carrying the corpses at the back, who became much more excited.
Tang Zheng glanced away.
He saw the corpses of many wild animals, mixed with some human leg bones and arms, thrown aside at random.
Near the center, there were several thick skins on the ground, the skins of unknown animals.
Among them, there was a piece of rotten meat placed on a piece of land covered with withered weeds, and a large number of insects gathered here.
The foul smell that filled the air came from there.
What attracted Tang Zheng's attention the most was a thatched hut located in the center of the area, which looked obviously built with weeds and branches.
Tang Zheng looked at him carefully, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The size of this hut is obviously much larger than that of the short goblins. Most importantly, there is only this one hut in the entire area, which is a bit out of place.
in addition.
The number of goblins is also a bit abnormal.
It's not that there are too many, but too few! This is obviously a small goblin tribe. Apart from the 13 goblins who just returned to the tribe, Tang Zheng can only see five goblins left in the tribe! Not sure if there are any remaining goblins in that thatched house.
But the number of goblins left behind in the tribe was too small. Although Tang Zheng couldn't tell the goblins' age based on their appearance, he could tell that the goblins left behind in the tribe were obviously young and strong.
That is to say.
This small goblin tribe in front of us actually has no old or young people.
