Chapter 16: newbie adventurer
"I found it!" A brown-haired swordsman, standing in front of a cave, pointed at a goblin totem made of bones and shouted: "Look at the goblin totem, it seems that this is the goblin Lin's lair."
"Finally found it? After walking around in the forest, this goblin can really hide."
"I'm really exhausted."
This is a team of four adventurers, including a male swordsman, a male martial artist, a female magician, and a goddess priest who believes in the supreme god.
From their rudimentary equipment, it can be seen that this is a rookie adventurer team, and they are also the kind of rookie adventurers who die quickly. They didn't even carry a **** pack for props, which means that they ran out to take risks without even preparing the most basic hemostatic drugs and detoxification herbs.
"Do we really want to go directly into the goblin's lair without any preparation?" The red-haired female magician was a little scared, "Let's go back and prepare, after all, the sister at the front desk said that goblins are very cunning. Monster, it's dangerous to go in directly like this."
The rookie adventurers who die every year under the control of goblins account for 60% of the death rate of rookie adventurers, sometimes even more. This is not because the Adventure Guild did not remind newcomers. On the contrary, the guild generally recommends newcomers to eliminate rats or some large-scale reptiles in the sewers.
But helplessly, there are always rookies, who feel that they are very powerful and that they will be the next hero. They went one after another to conquer monsters that did not match their own strength. Among them, goblins, which seem to be weak and gregarious monsters, are mostly picked up by newcomer adventurers.
These rookie adventurers' aggressive behavior has resulted in a result: every three teams of rookie adventurers are replaced by a goblin settlement.
"Don't worry, it's alright, mere goblins, I have one sword per sword." The swordsman pulled out the long sword from his waist and swung it twice.
"But..." The red-haired magician was still very worried, after all, the lady at the front desk reminded herself again and again.
"Don't worry, just like what he said about mere goblins, even a priest like me can kill me with a staff." The priestess patted the magician on the shoulder and comforted, "And the guild didn't stop us from taking the quest. "
"Okay." The female magician was persuaded. After all, her companions insisted on going in, and it was impossible for her to escape alone.
Then a group of people walked into the cave talking and laughing, not feeling nervous at all when going to fight.
This is also one of the reasons why most of the newcomers are so confident, thinking that the Adventurer's Guild did not stop them from taking the quest, so they thought they could do it.
But they obviously forgot that the Adventurers Guild has no right to restrict adventurers from accepting quests. Unless the adventurer is punished and banned from taking risks in a city, the city's guild has the right to prohibit him or her from taking quests.
The guild is just an intermediary organization, not an academy, nor a training institution, nor a nursery school.
In the damp and dark cave, droplets of water condensed on the stalactites, dripped through the spider web below, and finally landed on the ground.
Tick, tick, tick.
The brown-haired swordsman walked in front with a torch, and the rest of the three cars followed.
"That... or let's go back first, you think, we only have one torch, if it goes out, we won't see anything." The female magician said worriedly.
The other three stopped and looked at the female magician.
"Ah? We've already come here, and we still have to go back? Isn't this what we're going to spend half a day on in vain?" The Martial Daoist said dissatisfied.
"You don't have to worry, goblins are just goblins. Whether they are mentally or physically, they are only at the level of children. I can deal with it with one hand and won't let the torch go out." The swordsman comforted again.
"I have driven away the goblins that invaded the village before, I have experience with this."
Then he raised the long sword in his hand and said confidently, "Even if we encounter a dragon, we should be able to solve it."
The martial artist also raised his right hand and agreed, "Although the dragon is a bit early for us, there should be a chance to meet it in the future."
"Yes! First of all, our first goal is to become a dragon slayer! Let's go!"
They obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with yelling in the cave, but their voices had already spread throughout the cave.
After a while, the four came to a fork in the road.
"There are three paths, how should we go?" the swordsman asked.
After all, if you go wrong and you have to go again, it is not worth wasting so much time for a mere goblin.
"That..." The red-haired female mage raised her hand weakly and said, "I think everyone should go together and find every one. This is the safest way."
"Don't be so troublesome, I'll go this route myself." The matter pointed to the road on the far right, "Even if I'm alone, I can deal with this group of goblins."
"Then I'll go to the middle by myself." The martial artist gave the swordsman a provocative smile, "Look who we killed."
"I won't lose." The swordsman also smiled back at him.
The female mage raised her hand again and said, "That...although it's a bit disappointing to say now, we only have one torch."
"Yeah! What can I do?" The swordsman scratched his head. This made him difficult. If he knew, he would have prepared more torches.
"I don't need it. Our five senses are very sensitive. Even in a dark environment, I can see a little bit, and I can listen with my ears." The martial arts are still full of confidence.
"She knows lighting, and we'll go together, so we don't need it either." Priestess said, leaning on the magician's shoulder.
"Ah? But illumination uses a lot of magic power." The magician objected, "We can't just waste magic power..."
Priestess interrupted: "It's okay, let's go, you're just too nervous."
After speaking, she dragged the female magician into the passage on the right.
"Then I'm leaving too, don't cry when you lose to me!"
"Hmph, this sentence should be the right one for me."
After all four entered the passage, a dozen short figures appeared at the corners behind.
At the same time, a gunship was hovering in the sky, patrolling the entire forest.
This plane was on board the Clearance Plan extra-squad, the Goblin Slayers.
Of course, there is a lack of a certain lizardman who is familiar with the special weapon at the base.
"Ah! It's so boring! Why are the monsters so unbeatable now?" Sylvia scratched her emerald green hair, looking irritated.
"Oh, those with long ears are impatient." The dwarf Iron Wine sneered, "I don't even care what weapon I'm holding, a sniper rifle with a lethality comparable to median magic. And there are no powerful monsters here. , if you want to find a monster that has been beaten, I suggest you fight the Demon Army."
"Clam?! Are you, a grenadier with a range of 200 meters, questioning the patience of a sniper?! Also, have you ever heard of what is truth on the battlefield? Range and truth!" Xi Wei Ya asked herself.
Then he raised his sniper rifle. "See my sniper rifle with a range of 2,500 meters."
"Then have you heard that caliber is justice?" The dwarf Tiejiu took out his grenade launcher not to be outdone, "Seeing the power of every shot in my hand, there is no grenade launcher that can reach the fireball technique. ?"
"Okay, stop arguing." Qili next to her began to persuade her daily.
"The one with long ears!"
"Wine barrels!"
"Mr. Goblin Slayer, hurry up and persuade the two of them." Seeing that she couldn't persuade the two of them, Qili turned to ask for Goblin Slayer who was using a telescope to observe below.
"Yeah." Goblin Slayer responded, and then there was no response.
"It's really like this again." Qili glared at Goblin Slayer angrily.
At this moment, Goblin Slayer suddenly said, "At seven o'clock, there is a Goblin cave."
"Received." The pilot turned the plane.
He was one of the first people to take language mushrooms, and he understood the common language, so he was sent to be their driver.
By the way, he taught the elves and dwarves just now that "range is truth, and caliber is justice".
After approaching the cave, the pilot adjusted the position of the plane and aimed at the entrance of the cave. When such a cave is found, it is customary to fire an air-to-surface missile at it.
"Air-to-surface missiles are ready."
The pilot opened the protective cover of the launch button, and at this moment, Goblin Slayer suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a minute," Goblin Slayer kept twisting the telescope to zoom in. "There are several footprints, which are supposed to be human in shape."
Hearing this, the driver put the protective cover on and asked, "How to deal with it?"
Goblin Slayer is the captain of the team, and he directs the scene operations.
"Go in and investigate."
After hearing the order of Goblin Slayer, everyone started to check their equipment.
"Snipers don't need to follow." Goblin said.
"Huh?! Why?" She was still in high spirits, but the pretty face of Miss Elf, who was ready to go down for a big fight, collapsed instantly.
"You need to stay on the helicopter to provide precise strikes to prevent us from being surrounded. Also, your sniper rifle cannot be used in the narrow terrain of a cave," the goblin replied.
"Ok."
"Hahahaha! With long ears, I didn't expect you to have today!" The dwarf Iron Wine laughed, and even turned his grenade launcher on purpose.
"The grenadiers can't follow. Your howitzer will blow up the cave."
The dwarf Iron Wine's expression instantly froze.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Dwarf, you don't know how funny your expression is now. It's a pity that I don't have that kind of thing called a camera now, otherwise I'll definitely take a picture of your expression whenever I'm in a bad mood. Take it out and take a look when it's time." Sylvia seized the opportunity to fight back.
"The mission begins." Saying Goblin Slayer, he grabbed the rope, jumped, and jumped down.
Qili and Berna got up, walked to the hatch, and slid down the slide rope.
Because of her stature, Qili could only use a submachine gun with less recoil.
And although Berna is also a sniper, she is also equipped with two miniature submachine guns. This was also her consideration. Some goblins would hide in a narrow place like a cave, and the sniper rifle could not be used at all, so she went to the arsenal to equip two miniature submachine guns.
Going downstairs, Goblin Slayer squatted down to check the freshness of the footprints, "The footprints are still very fresh, it should have just entered, about three to four people."
"Let's go."
After speaking, Goblin Slayer turned on the searchlight on his rifle and walked in first, followed by Qili and Berna.
